Yippee! Received an email from the boss, finally! I will patiently wait...

Pending Online Job

I was supposed to hit the gym earlier today because it's my day off and it's payday! We have plans of going to Trinoma and also have our weekly grocery. But for some reason (maybe because the air is so "maalinsangan"), we got sleepy. It's around 1 PM that time so we thought of taking a nap and just go out at around 4PM. Hubby woke up at 3 PM and ironed our clothes...I asked him to just wake me up at 4. He did but I am still sooo sleepy and just pleaded for another hour. It's already 5 and I still feel so lazy so I just cancelled our date and told him we'll just gonna do it tomorrow. I really hate myself whenever I do have a plan for that specific day and I'm not able to do it. Arrrgh, it sucks! Woke up at 7PM and just worked on my online job.

I was hired as an online transcriptionist through odesk that pays $0.25 for every audio minute you transcribed. What's good about it is that you can work at your own phase. You will not be required to work on a specific time and date but of course the amount of money you'll earn depends on the effort you exert. When I was hired, I felt as if I will not be able to find time for it so I asked them if I could suspend my work for a month or two though I have already finished all the necessary training modules for the job. They agreed,  and for the past two months...I was not able to work on it. But earlier today, an idea came to mind. I think I now can handle such responsibility as I would like to just spend an hour or two for it. I immediately requested for a slot but haven't heard from them. The paranoid me starts thinking negatively again. Well it's just been three hours since I sent the message, I'll wait till Monday for the confirmation. Lord whatever happens, Your will be done.

God Talks to me Through My Favorite TV Shows

a scene from BIO's "Hoarders"

Just stayed the whole day at home and  rested. Watched my favorite shows like BIO's "Hoarders" and "Storage Wars" as well as History's "Swamp People" and "Pawn Stars". These shows literally makes me excited. Thank God we have Destiny is our cable provider because if it's Sky Cable or other providers...they don't include History Channel in the package. I now can't imagine myself going home early in the morning watching local channels. It's not that I'm against it, it's just that movie programs in the US are far better than what we have here when it comes to the broadness of topics. Being able to watch foreign shows gave me a more in depth realizations about different cultures and different situations. Like for example the show Hoarders, this is the first time I've seen a person with such disorders. They do collect stuff continuously to the point that they no longer was able to see any free space in the house because of the amount of items they collected. Those things just literally sitting in their living room, kitchen and even in the bedroom. It's a psychological condition that is often related to depression and insecurity. Being able to watch those types of shows makes me realize how fortunate I am. Makes me feel more blessed knowing I am not in their situation. I guess God uses different methods to reach us...and in my case, through my favorite cable tv shows. Thank You Lord!

A Lot of Distractions

Just earlier today, I have listed a number of things I need to do for today. I wanted to finish all of those tasks to make sure I would be able to continue improving my blogging skills. Unfortunately, there are so many distractions. Yahoo, Google, Facebook, Odesk, Jobstreet and other blogs that caught my attention. It might be an advantage for some to be a "multitasker", being able to do several things at the same time, but for me, it's a total disaster. I can't concentrate on one task. Guess this is the fist thing I need to work on. A lot of things to do but can't finish even one. Hopefully I can finish at least one task for today...at least one...

Consistency and Hardwork

Haven't been able to post anything personal here for the longest time...well, what's new? I hate myself when I start a certain project and wasn't able to finish it. I think that is the reason why there is not much changes on my blogging income. I've been earning if not the same, less than what I have been earning in the past. I guess other than having consistency...there should also be something new in my writing strategy. Have received some SEO tips from a new found friend/officemate on how to improve pagerank and how to earn thousands of dollars through google adsense. I plan to study it by heart today and tomorrow and I hope I can improve my stats these coming weeks. If I want have this as my profession, I need to be good at it to be successful. I don't want to be mediocre anymore when it comes to earning money through the net, I need to be choose my own battle and win over it. I just hope my mind won't be occupied with something else to achieve this goals.

VoIP for My Home Office

I've been working as a technical support representative for a dsl company for almost five years now and I always get calls from our subscriber inquiring if we have a voip service. Well to be honest with you, only now have I fully understood what Voip service is for and what advantage it does have over the regular phone service. I am actually thinking of getting that same service for my home office but since there are a number of Voip providers out there... I need to make sure I get the best one. One that offers the most affordable price with the best service.

What is good about having Voip or Voice Over Internet Protocol or in more common terms phone over Internet is that it normally offers lower rates than many traditional phone companies. Furthermore, most VoIP phone calls even internation are free. Although there is a cost for the internet service itself, using the VOIP over this service may not involve any extra charges so we can say that the calls are free or charge.

I am planning to retire soon and be a work at home call center agent and having a VoIP service is a must for me. I can easily work from anywhere with a good Internet connection if I do have VoIP service. I have learned stumbled upon a site that provides 5 Reasons to Switch to VoIP and I am totally convinced that having a VoIP service is really needed especially if you are a remote or home based worker. Good thing I was able to see an online article about the Consumer Rankings VoIP guide which gave me a better idea on what type of subscription I’ll gonna make. It’ll be a lot easier for me to pick the best VoIP service provider by checking on those online guides.
