My blogs are finally earning in Adsense. I have removed the Adsense ads a year ago because I earn nothing but a few months back I put them back again and was surprised that some visitors are clicking on my adsense ads. Even the niche blog that I put up years ago is finally getting some clicks although the visitors are few and between so the clicks are few too. It reminds me how I was so convinced before that niche blogging was the way to go but after writing the required articles I got so frustrated because there was no traffic at all. Now I’m kind of sorry I gave up too early because it just takes time and patience and based on my click rate now on that niche blog I think 1 out of 5 visitors clicking the ads is not that bad at all.  So now I’m going to try my luck again in niche blogging  and see how it goes. Anyway, I’m still happy for the few clicks at least my earning can buy a nice car exhaust for our car.  Maybe if I triple my effort next time I would be able to buy a new car instead.  LOL!  What do you think?

I’ve been a WAHM for two years now but until now I still don’t have a decent office table. Can you believe that? So after we move I’m going to start looking for a decent one. Even a second hand office table would do but I prefer the steel ones and not the ones made of wood. It would double as a work table for me and study table for Z so I can teach him while working.

During my first pregnancy I had no decent maternity wear at home.  I stuck on my oversized shorts until my ninth month that’s how hard headed I was.  My hubby’s grandma, probably unable to see the sight of my bulging tummy in shorts anymore, gave her “daster” or house dress to me the night before Z was born.  Now on my second pregnancy I’m only in my first month and I’m already wearing my grandma’s daster.  I can’t help it – my tummy is way bigger now than during my previous pregnancy.  My worst fear is how am I going to work when I reach my last trimester.  Surely I would need a comfortable office furniture or else I won’t be able to sit in front of the computer for long. As early as now my tummy cries foul when I unknowingly sit in a hunched position.  Donors, anyone?

I’m so in need of essay writing services.  I’m definitely not a writer and I take too long to write my piece.  Even writing a basic research papers introduction I suck at and so what more with dissertation writing?  Good thing I don’t do any more of that stuff but that doesn’t mean I have escaped writing altogether.  In my job, I have to write about so many things on so many different topics.  It doesn’t matter that I’m not an expert on some of those topics.  Good thing Google provides easy, reliable, and most important at all free service on searching for information on almost any topic you can think of but researching is just the first step.  The second is compiling all the things you’ve learned and making a post out of it in a manner that is easy to understand and fool everyone into thinking that you have a good grasp of the topic.  Yes, it can be crazy and the craziest topic I have to write about is about rhubarb pie and information on vacation places I have not been to.  Nevertheless, I love my job because I get to learn so much.  I now know that rhubarb pie is made from a plant called rhubarb and doing that essay made me look forward to tasting a rhubarb pie for the first time.

For two days I’ve been trying to keep sickness at bay because I have so many files to finish. I thought I would be successful but I guess now I have to accept defeat as I woke up with the sorest throat and the feeling that my body is going to give up if I don’t take a rest. I have given a notice of leave and would be spending the day eating healthy foods like vegetables and lots of soups and vitamins. I can’t afford to get sick as on Friday we would be at Z’s school to watch the preschoolers perform. Z has reported to me that they spent the day rehearsing and that he was included in the program which I really can’t miss as this is his first appearance “onstage.” Oh well, wish us luck!
Chewee is getting better and better too. He’s currently eating chicken but according to the vet he should be eating dog food. I’m hesitant to buy him dog food because I’m dubious about its quality. It’s not like fish food which I think is safe for fishes but dog food is another matter. I think he’ll get sicker if I let him eat that. Anyway, just to follow our vet I decided to buy dog food and mix it with his boiled chicken with rice which he is now eating with gusto. I hope he makes a full recovery and gain his old weight back.

Finally, the weekend is in sight and tomorrow is going to be the last day of Z’s exam. We have been reviewing everyday because of his final exam and aside from the not so good incident with our Math review, everything turned out fine. He has a good grasp of every subject and I didn’t have a hard time teaching him. Teaching while balancing my work is another story but I’m glad we can now relax in terms of his school.

Now you know why this blog has been silent and I’m deeply sorry I haven’t started BC Bloggers 2 yet. I know so many people wanted to join and I have promised a few that I will open it again soon but I’m just too swamped with work. But keep your eyes peeled to this blog as I will have my announcement next week.
