Summer time is Travel Time

noreply@blogger.com (Strawberrychocodahi) — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 03:57:00 +0000

Hello bloggers, is it a lovely day today? Summer means travel time once again and because of the good weather, people tend to take advantage on going from destinations where they can enjoy it together with their families and loved ones.

I have visited a travel site that tells people about beautiful places and what to expect and do about it. It also defines an exciting honeymoon travel vacations and more. It was a wonderful website to consider before you take your country of choice to visit. When you travel, you need to know about food being offered, streets to get yourself familiar with, goods to buy like souvenir items and more.
The site still needs more inputs of photos to emphasize places and needs to add more countries to visit so that it can showcase more of travel options for people around the world. But anyway, it does its best to be informative as possible.You can check it out on this wonderful website, link is below:

First Payout on Experts Column

noreply@blogger.com (Strawberrychocodahi) — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 09:14:00 +0000

Finally, after so many year! nahh just kidding. It has been a year since I stopped writing on Experts Column , now I did have my payment. Well, to tell you honestly, I did stopped because when I got pregnant and gave birth, I take care of my baby so I don't have enough time to write and update my blog.

Its not because the site is bad, but because I am hands-on on taking care of my little one. I actually have written 5 articles on that site, but I didn't know that the audience would balloon up to 4K plus and that is how I was able to cash out Five dollars.

Experts Column is a good site for writers. You just need to write more than 300 words and must take note of the instructions included in the site. You have to generate viewers so that you can be paid faster. The more your articles are viewed, the better. Same formula like here on this blog site, the more visitors you have, the better will be your income.

Thanks to EC, glad to write back more articles there.

Last of the PTC kind

noreply@blogger.com (Strawberrychocodahi) — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 12:46:00 +0000

I'm not a fan for PTC or paid to clicks but hubby. But this ptc site is the last type and the kind that I will click and I won't be indulging myself to continue on clicking.

Before Neobux was good to earn at least $0.04 cents daily without referrals. But now, you can just earn 1 cent daily on those clicks since we don't have rented refs or so and I am not even good on convincing others to try it.

It's been a daily wait just to get the threshold of $8.00. But we waited till we can reach an amount that will include the fee in withdrawing it so at least we reached it and I can say Adios Amigos to it for so many years of using it, but I won't go back in their system to continue clicking because its really too low.

Anyway just sharing to you the pain staking wait for clicking ads on Neobux, thanks for the payment received.

I won Stay at Home Blessings give-away!

noreply@blogger.com (Strawberrychocodahi) — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 10:32:00 +0000

Woohooo! At last, I won my very first give-away contest. Of how many times I joined in contests online from makeup give-aways to cold cash, this is my very first to win. Thank you Ms. Chinchin of Stay at Home Blessings.

I was given a choice if money or one year domain from Go Daddy but I said I cannot give my 100% on blogging since I am taking care of my little one and I don't have any immediate family to help me over so my blogging time is really compromised.

Anyway I gave my winning money to my brother who is going to celebrate his birthday this coming Friday! Thank you God for the blessings! Here is my payment that I received, yipee!

My Last Payout in Adgitize

noreply@blogger.com (Strawberrychocodahi) — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 10:49:00 +0000

Year 2011 is the best earning I have when I started Adgitizing. When Ken announced the closing of Adgitize, I was really frustrated since I am already at ease using this advertising scheme. I really like how Ken has come up with this idea to visit other bloggers website and earn.

It improved my Page rank status plus my alexa ranking. In short my traffic boosted and I don't know what to do next in this year 2012 because Adgitize is gone.

Here is the last payment I received from Mr. Ken Brown who has been honest in his business. This is from the month of December 2011 and as promised Ken paid his members. Happy to share this payout with my family.

Breakdown to my last Adgitize earning

noreply@blogger.com (Strawberrychocodahi) — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 12:15:00 +0000

I was able to get the summary of my earnings for December of 2011. Since this was the first time I posted it, it will also be the last since Adgitize already said goodbye to us bloggers. We will all surely miss Adgitize and it was one of the best advertising medium that improved my traffic and page rank.

Sadly, it has to end but we will still hope Mr. Ken the best to come for this year 2012. Still to wait for the payout to finalize before or after 10th of this month as Ken said.

Refund from Adgitize

noreply@blogger.com (Strawberrychocodahi) — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 17:28:00 +0000

It's really incomplete for a blogger like me without the help of Adgitize. But what else can we do, it's over and I need to accept reality that Adgitize is closing for the reason that we cannot control happening.

Got my remaining refund sent by Mr. Ken who is really honest and that is why most blogger advertiser find it hard to find such a man like him who operates an honest business. I really appreciate how he gives the bloggers details of what is to happen and expect that the payment will be sent on or before the 10th of this month.

I will also post to you the last amount that I will received from Adgitize(soon) as a member. I will surely miss Adgitize as I removed the ads on my blog it was really heavy on my heart. I will miss the daily clicks, seeing my points, my daily earnings, the leadership board, the forum between other bloggers and much more.

Thank you Mr. Ken Brown, hope this will not be the last that we will hear from you. I still look forward if you have another site, count me in and I will support you.

Adgitize Bids Adios

noreply@blogger.com (Strawberrychocodahi) — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 12:56:00 +0000

I have been a member of Adgitize for so long but it was just 8 months that I really concentrated and used their system. In fact, this was the very first advertising site that I trusted whole- heartedly because I know that Ken Brown was honest helping the members boost on their blog site.

I will really miss this site especially Ken on reminding members about their promo, about tips and some tricks he share on his forum. Aside from that, I will miss to interact with other bloggers in forum and also clicking the ads of other fellow bloggers.

I was one of those advertisers who were grateful to Ken and Adgitize because it improved my page rank and traffic. How I just wish that the site will last for more but things we cannot just change and handle. I wish Ken Brown the best on his next venture. Thank you Adgitize for being a friend to us bloggers.

Below is the proof on how my earnings are at Adgitize, of course the month of December is not yet included here, but I will post if given a time.

Thank you Adgitize for everything! I will really miss you!

2011 is almost done, hello year 2012

noreply@blogger.com (Strawberrychocodahi) — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 08:03:00 +0000

Four more days to go and here comes year 2012. Time flies by so fast, it was just two weeks ago that typhoon struck Southern part of the Philippines and many have died. The survivors lived their lives not as the same as before and we can see the message of what God tells us humans.

DesiComments.com | Happy New Year | Forward this Picture

Now that 2012 is coming, we all hope for a better life, happy or joyful. But whatever is your New Years resolution, your vow, your expectations what is important is that we will only do what is the will of God, to grow in our spiritual life, be fruitful and share the blessings to others.

Wishing you all a Blessed New Year. Be safe and don't pollute the environment by using those dangerous fire crackers. You not only endanger the life of others but your health and safety too.

Blessed Season of Hope to All

noreply@blogger.com (Strawberrychocodahi) — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 16:21:00 +0000

I wish you all a Blessed Christmas, a season of hope and joy no matter what life brings us. It has been a wonderful year for me and my family as we welcome our baby. Even if Christmas celebration may not be extravagant this year, it is still important to know the very reason why we celebrate Christmas and that is because of Christ who came into this world to save the lost.

We may be far from our family geographically, but our hearts will always be close to them. We share them the joy and the blessings we received from above and we thanked God for everything. Merry Christmas to All! Spread Love all around you!

Typhoon Sendong that Caused tragic flash floods

noreply@blogger.com (Strawberrychocodahi) — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 10:17:00 +0000

They blame illegal logging and mining with regards to the effect of Typhoon Sendong visiting Iligan, Dumaguete and Cagayan de Oro in the Philippines. It is a very tragic ending leaving 950 plus people dead, mostly children and women who were helpless to save themselves during the flash floods and still more people are missing.

Its not the time who is to blame, to finger point what sector or authority is to blame. Ask ourselves this question, what did we do that caused God His anger and removed His protection on these land.

Man should realize that God is telling them something why these things happen. It is about time to ask God for forgiveness of the sins we commit to Him. It is time to get ourselves more on our knees praying, thinking not of ourselves but others and most of all asking God to forgive us.

I pray that the people of God should start to move now and pray and serve others and tell them about the Gospel of Christ. We need God above all, we are nothing without Christ.

2 Chronicles 7:14 says

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Psalms 37:17-19

for the power of the wicked will be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous. The days of the blameless are known to the LORD, and their inheritance will endure forever. In times of disaster they will not wither; in days of famine they will enjoy plenty.

Joining Stay at Home Blessings $14 Adgitize ads Giveaway

noreply@blogger.com (Strawberrychocodahi) — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 11:21:00 +0000

"This is my entry to Stay at Home Blessings Adgitize Ad Giveaway. Join and win one month blog advertising worth $14."

I remember my very first online income comes from a forum site that gives you pay per post. Although that site was already gone, it was the stepping stone to venture on working online since I was a SAHWM (Stay at Home Wife and Mother). It was really convenient to earn some income while you are at home taking care of your children.

I also ventured on using PTC sites, paid to posts sites, surveys, reviewing stuffs and get paid and so much more. Although for this year, I didn't fully put my potential into full force because of my pregnancy and giving birth. Although I still earn money from updating my blogsites and getting some money from Adgitize, I still wanted to do more but I am just limited to do so because of time.

What I also enjoy doing online now was joining online contests and win. I also hosted a contest or give-away online last November which is also fun to have. For now, my purpose is to improve more on my SEO on my blogsite and have more money on my advertising.

Join now, contest is open from Dec. 18, 2011 till January 5, 2012.

Finally my lip gloss arrived

noreply@blogger.com (Strawberrychocodahi) — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 10:17:00 +0000

I ordered this Lotus Herbal lip gloss from Healthkart.com last December 1,2011. Although the problem that I have encountered was that the phone number I gave was my mobile number which I was using a defective celphone which gets off every time it gets a call even if the unit is still charging.

The box was just fine but the packaging inside wasn't that interesting

Well anyway I emailed them about this but they replied a bit late so my order got so late. I guess in my very first encounter with their website, I felt disappointed already. It was a C.O.D. and shipping was free although I have ordered from other online site that also caters free shipping but the delivery and service was fast and they respond to my mail quick also.

Receipt plus the bubble wrapped lip gloss which is difficult to remove

Anyway, I was just happy to receive it today and it was a tinted lip gloss with a very enticing color suited on my skin tone. I don't know if I would still try to order from them but let's see if they offer big discounts this coming holiday.

This is not a review of the product. I may post my review on my other blog and hopefully I might share it here someday. Have a nice day everyone!

A Samsung mobile for hubby

noreply@blogger.com (Strawberrychocodahi) — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 12:53:00 +0000

This mobile was ordered online via Home shop18.com, it was fast to be delivered and the transaction went smoothly without any problem. Hubby needed to get a mobile since he was borrowing my mobile as I used his old mobile at home since it has issues with the battery.

Anyway this is not a review about the product Samsung. If I have the time, I will then post it on my review blog site so that you might also know something about the mobile Samsung Galaxy Y. I will also keep aside the review of the online shop we bought this mobile of course.

Anyway, I just wanted to share how it was delivered and I was the one who de-boxed it since hubby was at work during the delivery. It was an android phone which is easy but very sensitive to operate. Although the only thing that puzzles hubby was the connection using WIFI since he has been trying to tag it using our home wireless connection to be used in this mobile but up till now, it is still a puzzle to him. Anyway, check this out.

Here is the package that I personally received

Address attached in the delivered box

I removed the outer covering and here is the box

A box inside a box, this is the mobile's box

Hello Samsung Galaxy Y (young)

A great mobile to use and hope it will last for years, what a Christmas gift treat anyway! Have a pleasant week ahead!

My bucket list for Christmas

noreply@blogger.com (Strawberrychocodahi) — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 11:12:00 +0000

I don't know why I feel like this but I really feel like I miss Christmas so much that even if I have to create a bucket list for Christmas, it will just be a punch in the moon because there is no way that I might be able to accomplish most of what I wanted unless there will be a miracle that will happen within this week or the next week to come in order for me to accomplish what I wanted this month.

DesiComments.com | Christmas | Forward this Picture

I made a promise to God that I wanted to follow and do ,not because I was influenced or so, but because I wanted to make something out of so many years that I have been promising myself that I should do. I am still hoping for the best to come and that God will enable me to have a chance to do what I really wanted for my family, for the ministry, for my brethrens, for my niece and brothers.

I really do miss them especially 15 days from now, it will be Christmas. I have a lot of god children back home that I will also be missing to give them my present personally since I am away and for sure, if they drop by our house, my mom will be the one to give them. I really do want to be a blessing to my family and I asked God to help me accomplish this in reality because in fact financially, I am just depending on hubby and for now, my earnings online are limited due to the fact that my time is divided also in taking care of my little one.

I am thankful still because of the great blessing that God gave us baby Samuel and I do hope and pray that our baby will also meet my family back home as they are all excited and anxious to see him and take care of him. I made a bucket list long time ago that when I tried to check back on it, some of the list I included where already been answered.

Do you have a bucket list for Christmas or even in the New Year? I think so! Everyone dreams to have something or do something in life which is worth while.

September Pay from Foodie blogroll

noreply@blogger.com (Strawberrychocodahi) — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 07:29:00 +0000

I didn't expect any site to send me a payment until I logged into my email and found out that Foodie blogroll has sent me another payment. Even if it was just a small amount, I was able to continue my advertisement on Adgitize so it was really a big help on my part.

Foodie blogroll is just new on advertising which focuses merely on sites that caters about food which I have on my other blog. I am so happy to receive monthly from them and even if it takes them 3 months late before they send the amount, I am still thankful for that amount.

Here is my payout and just wanted to share it to you guys.

Do you have a Christmas Wish? Is it almost done? I mean most on your wish list were checked? I know that most of us do like to have a list particularly if we have godchildren hoping for us to give them their gifts.

DesiComments.com

Christmas in the Philippines is one of a kind. It is the longest celebration were people starts to prepare and decorate starting from the month of November and it will last till January. I will really miss Christmas in the Philippines were kids will start to carol and sing Christmas songs house to house at night starting Dec. 16 till eve of Christmas day.

People started to buy gifts for their loved ones. Family and friends do exchange gifts and the spirit of giving is really in the air.

Malls every where are with Christmas sale offers and promo discounts to gather customers appeal.

Offices celebrate Christmas party in advance and every employee expects to win in the raffle draw or get their Christmas bonus at least.

Christmas decors and gifts are being sold in the sidewalk where hawkers stay till midnight and you can bargain for the price which is much more cheaper although don't ask me about the quality of it.

Christmas Food is prepared in a very Filipino way where neighbors also give and exchange what they have prepared and happily share it with their neighbors and family friends.

Where communication companies are always congested because everyone wishes and greets Merry Christmas and you will receive that message very late.

Fire crackers add the excitement and loud sound of music being played from house to house as everyone celebrates Christmas.

Colorful Christmas trees, Christmas lights and decors displayed not only in malls, but on most houses, offices, streets and municipalities.

I just described how happy to see Christmas in my own country which I will be seeing only online. Hope one day I can get back there with my hubby and baby and celebrate it together with my family. Advance Merry Christmas!

Disappointed in Registration

noreply@blogger.com (Strawberrychocodahi) — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 11:02:00 +0000

I could not believe it.. it was really too much when hubby told me that when he tried to register the birth of our son, he waited for two hours to just find out that it will take 4 more months for the birth registration to be processed.

What????? I said what the heck? what if I wanted to apply passport for my son and register him in my country's embassy for the NSO so that I will also have a copy. You mean for four months we won't be able to get out of India? and if I wanted to take a vacation back to Philippines, I won't be able to do so for this coming December because of their so called slow process.

Up to now they say they are processing the registration of those born in month of July. It's pretty frustrating me because I really wanted to process my baby's passport and register him at the embassy. But I cannot do anything if this will be the case.

A lot of members I asked in a forum what to do, they say bribery is the solution. I don't like to impose such and never in my mind do I have to use that kind of trick just to solve the problem. I don't do bribery and I will never ask a person to influence fast processing. In fact, I don't think the latter is a good idea at all.

If I only knew how difficult the system here for registration, I would not like to give birth here but everything has a purpose and I cannot just do anything but to depend on God to help us. I may have to be still and be calm because ranting and complaining more can never help me also.

If you are a foreigner, let me just now remind and tell you that if you plan to give birth in India, this will happen to you, so better think again.
