Back Being Random Again and Again

I am in a moment that I wish I am as strong as a tree that stood still.

Oh, such an emo! I was just showing you the HDR effect from my camera. But wait, this is not a photo blog but a personal blog. Anyway, this past few days things did not go so well because of misunderstandings. I am sad about it and I made a decision that I won't regret. I just need some time alone. If you get what I mean, so be it.

Elance Work Differently Summit in Cebu

Few weeks ago, I received an invitation from Elance for the summit first time in Cebu. Last night, Elance members in Cebu gathered at Chateau de Busay for the said event. I joined Elance last year of July but I applied seriously and earned few jobs last year of December.

October is Here

This post should be published last night but the internet connection was f*ck*ng stupid last night.

It's already October but still I haven't announced yet the winners of my level-up anniversary giveaway.  My apologies because things got so busy lately.  My sponsors are also busy right now.  The announcement will get delayed but for sure there are still winners.

There are lots of things to blog about.  My pictures aren't uploaded yet and they are still on my digital camera.  I am blogging right now without pictures.  I could not make any scheduled posts.  It is just right now I am blogging a live post.

Okay, just so you know I am really busy with my online job and my home-based business.  My time is torn between these two.  My boyfriend is helping me with the orders he got from his workmates at work.  Sometimes my online job gets interrupted when students come over to print their pictures from Facebook.  It would be really nice to have an assistant for my home-based job so that he or she will take over the printing jobs and I can be more focused on my online job.

Well, as of now, I don't expect to receive the same (high) salary with my online job like few months ago.  Before, I could work for more than eight hours a day but now I couldn't.  I am so tired to work for more than eight hours.

I hate it when the internet connection f*ck* up.  It is also one of the reasons I seldom work for my online job.  Right now I am also experiencing internet connection failure.  Oh, GLOBELINES, what's happening?

Unexpected Sunday Without Adam

Last Friday night, Adam sent an SMS to me that his day off will be changed to Saturday. It so happened that both of us had no load and we had no chance to text that night. On Saturday, I was busy with my online job while multitasking with my home-based business because a friend of mine ordered some tumblers. Then another friend of mine invited me for a fiesta. I thought that Adam's off was still extended to Sunday. Saturday night, I never received a text from him for clarification if he has a job the next day but never heard of him. Well, he fell asleep. 

This morning, I woke up at seven in the morning but I am still lack of sleep. Friends of my sister came over to our house after lunch and had a look of my products: tumblers, mugs, personalized notepads, key chains and phone accessories (see products here). Adam sent an SMS if I could have a chance to meet him this day and I said, of course. Too late for me to know that he has a job for tonight. Yes, I say tonight because he is working on a night shift.

 I never had the chance to meet him today because he would be late for work. Unfortunately, my cell phone got dead. I mean, my battery was empty and I could not charge it. I didn't even wear my watch so I could not distinguish what time it was. I decided to go to SM City Cebu. Another story for this on the next post...

Busy With No Pay

Since August started, I haven't been working with online job yet.  I still enjoy the month for the anniversary or I guess this month is like a vacation for me.  I still have my other online jobs outside Odesk but I seldom working on it.  I don't know if this is procrastination since I am not yet totally free from work.

I should have posted the pictures about the post anniversary with my partner but I still find myself lazy to blog about it.  I am just writing a post right now just for an update what is happening to me.  Don't worry, I will post about it soon.

Why busy with no pay? I am doing things right now which I receive no payment.  Actually, I am spending my money more than saving it.  Of course, I'm spending it as an investment.  I just have to be serious with my plan.

I guess, that's it for now.

I am Busy Roxy

I haven't blog since my last post.  Again and again I am really busy.  There are things I love to blog but still I have no time for it.  Pictures are still on my camera.  

I've been with mom last Wednesday in Toledo City, Cebu.  Actually it was my first time there.  After few days, I visited my friend Jeaneth with her baby Mheryan Saivale.  It was my first visit after the christening.  She's really big right now at five months.  I also took pictures of her.  She's very cuddly and I think she loves my pink camera or it's because she just loves to grab something.  The next day, my boyfriend and I went to a business seminar for a MLM company.  The product is very expensive and we can't afford it but we learned something from them.

I am hoping for a blog post next time with pictures.  I am still busy with my online job. ^_^

What's Up for me Today?

I haven't blog and posted new pictures few days ago and also today.  What I'll be writing today is about my rants on what happened to me, as usual.  I don't have the time of luxury to get my camera and post some pictures because of me being a busy bee.  I got a new job in oDesk and it is another full-time job.

Last Monday, I was with my boyfriend.  We went to Mandaue to withdraw his cash over the counter because his ATM card was eaten by the machine.  After that we went to SM City Cebu and ate our lunch.  We went to Powerbooks and I bought a book about investments.  I love buying and reading books about building wealth.  I will try to take snapshot of the book soon.

Yesterday, it was raining and my internet connection got lost (on and off).  I really hate it because my work got affected.  I really need a personal assistant maybe in the future.

I think that's it for today.  There are lots of things to do.  Good day! ^_^

Busy as a Bee Again

Hey! It's first day of June and I am really excited since school days are coming.  I just want to observe how my home-based business will be going.  I have lots of ideas popped-up in mind but I am still looking for a time which I am free to do those things.  I am really hoping.  Actually I am really busy with my oDesk and other online jobs.  Oh, I don't have a full-time job yet.  It's just that I sleep late at night and waking up late in the morning.  I missed eating breakfast lately.

Few days ago, I was really panicking because my other printer didn't work and so is my wireless router.  Yesterday was my boyfriend's day off so we went to the nearest branch of the company where we converted our printer to CISS in Minglanilla but originally it was converted in SM City Cebu.

This morning, I needed to trouble shoot my wireless router because I can't use my netbook.  The internet connection was really bad so I ended up connecting the modem directly to my desktop computer.  Anyway, I am now enjoying Wi-Fi at home because it is already fixed.  Thanks to the technical support engineer who was really accommodating with my problem.  Good thing that I am done with the other project ahead of time for this week.  I still need to do some link building and logo designing jobs.  Gosh!

My boyfriend and I realized that 2 months and 3 days to go we will be celebrating our 4th year anniversary being boyfriend-girlfriend. ♥ ♥ ♥ This is how we celebrated our anniversary last year, click here.  The time is really fast without even noticed because both of us are so busy with our jobs.  I can't wait.

Well, that's it for today because I still have work to do.

Are you excited for this month? Please do post your comments below. ^_^

I'm Starting a Home-Based Business

So finally, I just re-arranged the little space in our living room where the desktop computer is located and decided to have a little business of my own.  I've been so busy with Fotografi Rox on purchasing the domain, updating the website, and buying equipments needed for the business like printers, papers, paper cutter, camera tripod and other things I still haven't mentioned.

Simple Tips: Getting a Job on oDesk.com

As of this writing, I am already one and a half year member of the oDesk team and still counting. Congratulations to me!

The Reason Why I'm Writing This
A lot of people are referring to me and asked about oDesk.com on how did I get the job, so on and so forth.  There are questions that are easy to be answered by me with my own experience and some, honestly I am pissed off because there questions can be found on the Help Link and not everything will be answered by me.

What Keeps Me Busy Right Now?

Again and again, I'm busy right now for doing my online job.  I need to work because I only got a small salary because of - procrastination? No, I think it's because of laziness or maybe I was just tired the past few weeks.  My table is kind of messy right now for not arranging my things.  I am also thinking of building another blog which I can pursue my hobby in photography.  Oh, I don't have a DSLR camera but just a digital point-and-shoot camera.  I've got a stupid internet connection right now because it's raining so I'm really pissed of doing my job at the moment so I'm just enjoying with Adobe Photoshop making some logo.

So, what keeps you busy at this moment?

Using Workrave With My Online Job

I am so happy with the free software that I've found through searching online.  As some people already know, I am a freelance worker which I am always online especially on Facebook.  Again and again, I am working almost 12 hours a day and what I do is just typing blog posts and articles.  I admit that my hands are hurting and I am afraid of having carpal tunnel syndrome.

Milk, Grapes and Fruit Salad

This afternoon, I went to Minglanilla to withdraw my salary from my online job.  After that I went to La Nueva Supermarket for a mini grocery.  Am I health conscious? I don't think so.  I just love to buy what I like.  I just feel like to eat fruits and drink milk.

My grocery

Getting healthy?

Fresh fruits

What do you always buy after you get your salary?

Thanks Odesk For The Concern

I woke up this morning to check if I have internet connection due to typhoon Juan that affected my country, Philippines.  Due to heavy rains, I sometimes lost my internet connection and the reason that I can't work my projects.  I'm thankful that the rain stopped for a while and checked my e-mails and received a message from Odesk.

I hope everything's well for the next days.

What Can I Say?

Yesterday, I did some groceries in Minglanilla, Cebu at La Nueva after I deposit my money from the earnings I have with my online job. I made sure to remain a personal money worth Php500.00 in case I need something to buy. I went to the grocery and bought foods and some other personal and for cleaning stuffs. After that I went to the cashier and was shocked that I would pay Php475.00. I never thought that those stuffs put in just one bag is worth almost Php500.00. I never have time taking photo shots with my grocery. This month of September is really picture less.

The dollar versus peso rate, I was really worried that from Php45.00 it slowly dropped to 44, then 43 and now 42. What will happen next week? Would it be 40 or 39? I really ranted through Facebook about the dropping of the dollar versus peso but the prices in the markets and fare are still high. One example was my small grocery bag worth Php500.00. Php500.00 is already a big money but I never thought that I could buy something that has less quantities that I imagined.

They say it is a sign of progress for our country. Of course, I am hoping for it but I am just worried about my Php500.00 that I can only buy few quantities for a certain product. How I wish that the fare will go back from Php7.00 to Php5.00.

Changing My Body Clock

This morning, I decided to wake up early at six. I took a bath and ate just one pan de sal. What kind of breakfast was that? Actually I have no appetite to eat my breakfast very early. The reason I wake up early is because I want to change my body clock. I have a full time and part time job online so as long as possible I have to meet the contracted hours in a week. It would be a waste if I won't work and complete the time.

This day is such a good start but I have to go out because I never have any day-off during weekends. I just made the first project for six hours. Of course, by tomorrow, I'll be working more than eight hours.

Have a nice day ahead!

I Got An Assistant

I was so happy that someone responded with my announcement on Facebook. It was my classmate during high school. I just don't want to be detailed about her. I was relieved when she sent the articles that I needed. My working heavy baggage became lighter. But next week, I need to change my body clock in order to meet the full time job. I need extra hours to work on my part-time jobs. It is not really easy to be a writer because I am easily lost for words. I think my September posts are picture less. T_T

I Need Writer Assistant

Once again I am really, really, really busy.  I have lots of article writing jobs that need to be done.  My jobs are all ongoing and I am afraid that I cannot do all of these.  I even have link building jobs.  My writing works are not that difficult and the topics are all general.  I hope I could find someone who can send me articles that I need.  Yeah, I really posted some status on my Facebook that I really need an assistant.
