Miley Cyrus

Hey, do you still remember Hannah Montana? I'm sure your little kiddo does. She's so pretty, responsible, adorable, sweet and wholesome, isn't it? That is why many li'l girls just love watching her every day. Such TV series earned awards not just once but many many times. Indeed, the lead character, Miley Cyrus, never failed to wow her followers. But after its season finale in 2011, what happened to Hannah Montana? Do you miss her? Maybe, if you haven't got the latest update yet about Miley Cyrus, you would probably say YES. But with the latest MTV VMA event, I can only conclude one thing: HANNAH MONTANA IS DEAD!

Indeed, LIFE is WHAT you make it

Are you still confused about the famous Philippines' Kasambahay Law? This might not be the trending topic right now (can't beat Napoles' surrender)but allow me to share this law for reference purposes.

I am happy for all domestic workers that finally they can now enjoy what other employees have enjoyed (though not all). With the implementation of RA 10361, all 'kasambahay' can already avail the benefits that are due to them such as 13th month pay, SSS contributions as well as PAG-IBIG and PhilHealth. Also stipulated on the law on top of those payments, 'kasambahay's are also entitled  of daily and weekly rest period (a maximum of 10 hours per day) leave benefits and a monthly wage of not less than P1,500.00 depending on the location.

However, despite all those benefits provided for in the said law, there are still 'kasambahay' who are unlucky enough not to receive such benefits. Why? Because some employers can't afford to do so. I mean, there are employers who are just a minimum wage earner but somehow compelled to hire a 'kasambahay' because they have no other choice. On the other hand, 'kasambahay' are compelled to stay with their current "minimum wage earner" employer because they have nowhere to run to or perhaps both employer and the 'kasambahay' have an internal agreement going on prior to the implementation of RA 10361 (I am just guessing, though). 

Ironically, not all employers have an SSS, PAG-IBIG and PhilHealth benefits. Consider those self-employed employer. Most of them failed to contribute to the said social benefits for some reasons and it would be ironic that they will be obliged to contribute for someone when they don't have a contribution on their own. I can relate to that. As part-time Instructor, the University where I am currently teaching consider that "No employer-employee" relationship, thus they are not subsidizing for our social benefits premium payments. I used to contribute for SSS before when I am still working in a private companies but failed to continue. I also have PhilHealth and PAG-IBIG contributions but just like SSS, I failed to continue paying for them. However, after getting pregnant on my first baby, I reactivated my PhilHealth account but failed to reactivate my SSS that is why I never received any maternity benefits at all. Well, it's my fault. Premium payments for these social benefits will cost the employee more or less P600.00 a month (that's too much for a minimum wage earner like me). That is the very reason why my  husband and I agreed that he will stop working for the sake of our two babies because we cannot afford to pay a baby sitter with our minimum income(Well, I guess they are also a part of that Kasambahay Law). ^_^

It ain't really a guide, it's a game!

I remember how addicted I was with this game two years ago. I just stopped playing when I got pregnant with my first born. I stop playing not because I find it boring already but I stop because people surrounding me during that time told me so. They believed that playing or liking anything that has odd looks during pregnancy period will make the baby look like such LOL! I was not really afraid because I do not believe it, I stop because they kept on nagging me. Now that I am already a Mom of two, no one can stop me from playing this legendary game. I have it installed on my phone (thanks Google Play!)- kind of boredom reliever when I am in the congested traffic or idle moments LOL!

Every investments should have its corresponding profit. No man on his right sense of mind will invest his money for nothing unless he meant it for charity purposes. As a blogger, it is my primary aim to earn, yes that's true. I did not invest for monthly internet fee just for facebook, yahoo etc. it is my primary concern to find online racket LOL! I signed up to every opportunity that is available though it cannot be denied that I got more turn downs than approval from most paying companies for article writing/product review. However, I never lost hope. In fact,I got help from a co-blogger of mine who understood my needs (Thanks Ms Raye ^_^). She gave me one month to update my blogs and re-submit to those company who declined my blogs. Hopefully it will really work. While waiting for their approval, I am also thankful that LinkVehicle once again gave me the opportunities that I need. 

 

I've been a publisher for LinkVehicle for more than a year now and there's really a real earning with them. They offer more than just an earning, you'll get to have a quality article with them that could drive traffic to your blog. I want to share this opportunity by inviting you all to be a part of this success by joining LinkVehicle. You can do it right here, right now by clicking the badge below.

More and more business owners are figuring out something important about doing work on the Internet. They're beginning to realize that a website is only helpful if it's able to bring in revenue. For people selling products or even those offering services, it pays to have a site that can provide information. It also helps if that site can is functional enough to let people buy things, check their status on orders, and keep up with the business's happenings. Network Solutions offers e commerce web design services that are top shelf, and many business owners are finding this to be a solid investment.

Design matters in a competitive industry

Just as business owners should spend some money and time on the upkeep of their physical space, they have to do the same with their online face. Your website is how you'll be introduced to the world, and if the design is ratty, then many customers will assume that you're not a serious or legitimate option. More business owners have seen this, and they've made the smart decision to invest front-end resources in a good design.

E-commerce elements add to your options

There's no excuse for allowing a website to sit there without working for you. With the right e-commerce capability, a good website can rake in its own revenue and open the doors to markets that a physical store could never touch. Business owners selling a hot product can meet the needs of customers in many states and countries when they've got a sharp site. More have picked up on this trend, and it's helped those savvy owners claim market share.

I was really wondering what's wrong with my blog that it didn't get approval from Postjoin.com and Payu2Blog as well as ReviewMe and a whole lot more (I chose not to remember them all to minimize my frustration). I am thankful that finally I got internet connection but the irony there was that I no longer receive paid opportunities. My oh my! wazz up wazz up?! Life really sucks sometimes. The moment I badly need an additional racket, the more elusive they become. My odesk contract was another failure in the making. Grrr... should I quit or persevere? My investment (internet connection) doesn't pays off. If September comes and same thing happened, I'd rather quit.
