It had been weeks since the last post. I've been busy. I don't know why but work is like looking for me. There was too much work to do and then there's more coming in and I don't want to send it away because I know I can find someone to do it for me. Like delegate it to someone who is capable to do the job.
I like the idea that despite recession in the US, I was able to receive from time to time transcription work. And although I don't get that much the point is when you convert that to peso it is much better than getting minimum wage. Still I don't do the job so I don't get anything from it. Just the increase in profile ranking.
I'm back tho. :D weeee!!!!!

Invading Privacy..?
Last night was boring. I surfed the internet just to find some entertaining stuff for my sleepy eyes. I have to make sure that sleeping is not an option during 10pm because I have work to do. Relaxing a little bit and slowly typing down someone's name on Google.
He's not that good looking but he has something. I don't know why but he's a total package. Although for some girls like me, daydreaming and pictures and news about him on the internet is more than enough, especially for females like me who couldn't get a chance of flirting with him.
I am not sure if that article is true or whatever. I just want to say something about privacy.
Wikipedia describes privacy as is the ability of an individual or group to seclude themselves or information about themselves and thereby reveal themselves selectively. It is something that you choose to be not known to public. Private may mean it is just between friends, or family, or your girlfriend, and etcetera. Privacy may be of different level especially when we would base it to our profession, popularity, or oneself's proclamation to make her or his whole life be videotaped and let the whole world to see.
I'd like to write about it on the basis of my own choice. I started blogging about my thoughts 2 years ago. It was my decision to write on things that others may not appreciate or give a damn about it. I just write because I wanted to. I felt I needed to write. I personally welcome/d others to judge me on the basis of what I have written in my blog. That if they don't like it they can leave, or leave something behind like a comment. I do not hold one person's thoughts, but when I decide to blog I never thought others can give me bad or negative comment. And with administrative power to not include negative comments from readers, I can decide not to make it public because I know that when that negative comment is published it can create a chain of reaction to some of my friends who would really defend me for they know me. What I mean is, my blog is entirely not patterned to other blogs who merely writes to encourage readers to leave a comment. Like I said, I just felt the need to write. And that need made me want to publish it publicly.
That is me being selective on what I wanted to show readers. But the article that I have read last night was about someone who's a star by his own right because fans/followers put him up there. Everyone is aware that when you decide to be in the movies, you've got to be prepared that your every moved is being followed because those tiny bits and pieces of where you go and who's with you is huge chunk of money for the media. Fans/followers will pay that much just to have that feel that you as the actor and your fan is close like friends (although fans don't care that much that you don't know them personally).
I look at the situation in two ways. My life is nothing compared to this actor's popularity. There's one thing common though. I decided on how my life should be, and so is this actor who decided to accept this role and both of us didn't know what the future has for us. Unlucky for me because I don't earn that much with writing and it is not my craft, and lucky him because with his role he became that popular in months and driving a new car, new apartment and lots of offers.
That decision brought us to common ground that everything starts with simpliest way of saying, "Okay I will do this." So no matter where you are at, and what you've achieved, every decision gave his fans or my readers the chance to talk about his life to others and share it, or in my case the chance for others to comment badly about me.
I think, there is no such thing as privacy. Sooner or later it will come out and you don't have the administrative power to stop it. You can do something to counterreact but it's no use because it is out there in the public for scrutiny. I prefer to call it judgement. Sounds funny but it is true.
As a fan to this actor, if I like him so much the only thing I can do is give him respect. When he want it public then he will say it. When he didn't say anything then, he want to keep it for himself.

1. Nikon D80
2. Laptop (No preference)
3. Client for transcription work (legal, medical, general or business transcriptions)
4. Move to a new apartment.
5. Open another bank account (that means I have the initial deposit for this account)
6. One pair of shoes
7. Pants
8. 5 new blouses
9. Passed the exams for my training (out of the country kind of training)
10. Me to find my guy (awwwww!)
As much as I want to have them all, I know I cannot but I'm hoping I can have them all in few months time or something like that.

How do I get to earn extra
I am always encouraging friends to try to earn extra because I just do not want to hear, "my salary is not enough for my family or even to me." I am tired hearing that over and over again.
We all have 24hours to do things. You are suppose to sleep for 8 hours but since we have TV at home, you only sleep for 5-6 hours a night. Office hours should only be 9hours, including the 1 hour lunch break. What is left is basically for household chores, TV, computer, talking and sending text messages, and probably sitting on that sofa doing nothing. Those stuff are all for 9 hours.
If you simply convert 3-4 hours of that to something productive you could have earned an additional 2,000 for the whole month or even more.
My typical day would be, going to the office at 7:30am and work till 6:00 pm. Before I close my computer I would check on my blog and my online proposals for transcription work. I did get to invest time to learn how to start blogging. I did get to invest my time and money to learn the basic in transcription and I invested time again to find clients. I would have 3-4 hours of sleep from Mondays to Saturdays. Sundays for me is lazy day.
I was able to turn my expense into something self liquidating. For example, I am using my internet access to earn extra so I can pay my internet. Don't you just love it when your monthly salary is all for savings and you.
If I was able to do it so can you.
What to Give to your Woman these Holidays
Guys, you must be thinking of what to give to your woman this Christmas.
Women likes to be smelling good everyday. Who does not want to smell good especially when smelling good attracts the opposite sex and women do not like bad body odor. A perfume gift set would be nice to give especially when you are looking for ways to save money for the Holidays. Perfume gift set makes you save and at the same time giving the best to your woman. Personally, I would like to wear the perfume my man chooses for me because it is basically what he wants.
Us, girls, also thinks of getting fit especially after the holidays of too much eating. It is easy to eat and gain weight but it is hard to lose those fats away. The Wii Fit game from Nintendo is also another best gift for woman this Christmas. Wii Fit combines fun and fitness all together. Giving it to your woman does not entirely mean to really lose weight. Giving it to your woman means being healthy is another wealth in life to have.
With the Wii Fit game, you can both engage Body Test and compare their progress together. By playing it everyday or everytime you and your partner are together, makes your relationship stronger. And you can both work towards personal goal of living healthy and fit.

Digital Times
The best thing about pictures today is that you can take them anywhere with you. If you are a traveler and do not want to miss your family, you can save your pictures on your laptop and view them everytime you think about them.
Digital cameras can be brought anywhere and you can recharge your battery, or if not, you can buy another set of batteries. Taking pictures is the best way to keep memories. It would be so nice to reminisce and recall the enjoyable moments of the pasts. Laptops have been the easiest way to share pictures with people without having to print them on paper. If you have your laptop with you, by simply turning on the laptop and click on picture viewer, your friends and families can enjoy watching you baby's pictures.
In everytime you use your laptop or your LCD TV, the photo sharing experience becomes more of broadcasting your pictures during those intimate moments of some friends and families. The beauty of viewing of these pictures means the whole family can now see themselves on laptops or LCD TV. So, the next time a visit to your relations gets a bit boring, bring out your camera and give everyone a star turn.

Holidays are coming in and reunions and family gatherings will happen again. This is also one way of showing off your pictures or the great memories of the last Christmas or the Thanksgiving dinner to everyone using a LCD TV this time. Laptops are smaller and if there are 5 or more of you viewing the pictures, LCD TV is the best way to view it. Some would be on the sofa, some standing, others are sitting on the floor and everyone will laugh at the slideshow seen on the LCD TV.

Obama Wins 2008 US Election
Even if it is not yet time for elections, polls have started and President Obama wins through statistics. No doubt his words are so good to anybody's ear and was far very frank. He stands to what he has said, "I speak for the truth".The first African-American to be elected to the highest position. He came from the minority so I am assuming that he has the heart to the minority as well. I have read from www.counterpunch.org an article. I have read one line that describes President Obama as a good listener. I have read on Twitter who are voting for him and who are voting for McCain.
You can read more of President Obama's political platform here.
Barack Obama told supporters that "change has come to America," as he addressed the country for the first time as the president-elect.Read more about CNN's report here.

Quote: "Your Sex Life is Boring."
I have been blogging for a year and a half now. I have been active with social networking sites. My daily routine would be waking up in the morning checking what happened in the last hours that I have been asleep. When I get to the office I still get online and check again and I would be online for all day long. When I get home I still do come online and check again. Some find it boring and a friend of mine describe my life by comparing it to sex. He said, "Your sex life is boring. If you were not laid last night you are contented with reading sex blogs." I was just like, "Wow! People from other country are really comfortable talking about sex especially with the opposite sex."
The diversity of people from different culture, from different homes, from different believes are meeting online to unintentionaly mention or discuss topics of who they are, how they are brought up and what they believe and etc.
I can be offended with that reaction from someone whom I did not meet personally but in my mind, it was my decision to be online, to create an online profile might as well be open to the fact that for others to say what they need to say and want to say for they thought it was not offensive or insulting. In the long run, I had a better appreciation towards others and how to care about others as well. I have noticed their wanting to be heard but not really insinuating that there response should be done or is correct. It was a simple reaction that needed to be heard. And I, as the one who heard it from him, needed to open my mind to a bigger thinking that life is not described as to what I want it to be. Life is not me but me with others whether online or offline.
It must be easy for my friend to describe my life in terms of "SEX" for one, he is a guy. Second, he must be comfortable with sex than anything else. And it must be the first thing that come out from his mind. Whatever are his reasons are, I should not take it as offensive or insulting. There are two things I do keep in mind that when you are online, you attract friends ,and second you attract enemies.
He made a last comment though because he knew I might be offended. He said, "I may have described it to sex, it does not mean that I am trying to imply that you should have sex because it is fun. No doubt sex is fun and sex is done by two responsible person."
It was pretty obvious that after describing it to sex he was immediately aware that he was not talking to someone like his kind. That he was talking to me. And I just blush.

I've Lost that Touch
As much as I hate to admit this but I have lost that touch of writing daily. There are a lot of reasons. Writing them down here would probably make me write a book as well of my so called balck and white life.Life is supposed to be a journey. It is not a destination and it is not something to achieved at the end of it. In life, there can be sorrow there can be happiness. Why do I say this because I see life as a success. It is one thing that only you is driving and leading and in every little decisions that you've made a little of it will affect the lives of the common but with great affect to the people close to you or are part somehow of that big decision.
In everyday I try to disregard sorrow and try not to bring it with me for every sorrow is twice as heavy as happiness and mostly you can find it along the way. Unlike happiness, either I have to worked hard for it so that it will turn some event great and memorable and I can say made me smile and others who are on that event smile as well.
One thing why I write before is that it is my only way to communicate. Along the process, I've bumped into the idea that I might earn something from it. It's a long shot kind of earning so I still tried. On that writing was a full part of my life, my love, my family, my friends, my work and so on. And because I write things from the heart so I somehow manage people to like and comment on my posts.
I love reading again and again whatever I've posted. I love the feeling that I was able to say it and nonetheless I may have insulted someone or have hurt someone, I still get the feeling like, "Oh, Yes! I've said it." With series of not so good things happened I somehow detracted and when I read it back again, I told myself, "this is not how I write before."
I do not regret losing that touch though. I know there would be something more or something else in exchange of losing my old style of writing. My hours have to divided to number of tasks to be done in a day not including the little misunderstanding stuffs that I am into right now. I can definitely say I am beginning to be someone else better, bigger, and brighter.
I may have lost one thing but it will not stop me to go on and be someone again even if I would have to start from the beginning.

Word of Honor
Recently, I received an email from someone in India. His name is Aditya and this is his email to me.
Hi,
Do you remember me?
I had asked for your address to send you a birthday card from India? (aditya@aditto.info)
Well, I have been reading your blog. I am adding it to my favorite blogs... http://aditto.wordpress.com
I love to read your blog and it reflects a good intellect and a very deep understanding of life in and around yourself.
Keep writing.
Best wishes.
Aditya.
Thank you so much for the kind words. I never intend to write to get appreciation but I only intend to say what I want to say. It all started with one comment someone told me. He said, "This girl doesn't know what the internet is all about. Let's see what this stalker will give us in the future."
I was called a stalker by a person who's surname was Ross. I didn't like the way he talked about me because he made me a campus online buzz. As much as I want the attention because I was just a new blogger at that time, I didn't like the way it all started. I don't want to be following someone or stalking someone. I am Asian and I am proud of that but the mere fact that they think I am a stalker and because I am an Asian doesn't give him the right to talk that way. In every word that I write on this blog are words that are carefully chosen so that I can avoid any racist act or anything that can hurt ones feelings towards what I call freedom of speech.
I got furious but I don't want to stoop down to their level and argue with them. I stopped. I don't want to fight about it because in their mind, I was only a typical Asian girl who has something to say but who cares. Nobody cares what my thoughts are and what I say about life. I stood up to that decision and in a year, I've opened up, met new people online. I was trying to understand their culture and their beliefs. I was trying to make them understand my side as well. Some accepted who I am and what I stand. Others retracted because I was a waste of time.
What I strongly believe is that my life is the result to how others look at me, and how others look at me is a result of what I am to them, as what they've known who I am and where I come from. The only people that knows me best is myself, my friends and my family. What other people know me less are the ones who look at where I come from, a general judgment.
My posts, my articles, my sentences, my phrases, and my words sums up to who I am.

Happy 1 Year of Blogging to Wandering Nomad

Yay! to me.

Thoughts from a Wanderer
My blog title is redundant. I know that and I mean that. Who cares anyway. It is mine and you are free to read my blog and comment.
On my best effort to help Twitter Travels to get more funds for travel, this person I know that come from California asked me, "What's Twitter anyway? Who cares about them traveling? You even have a redundant name that doesn't make sense."
He got a point there and I respected that reaction. My blog title has something to do with what I love in life and yet with little resources, I could not do it all for real. That's also one reason why I follow and support two guys who could have heard the same reaction from others. I love to travel. I would like to be a nomad, but until now I am in a city where I am born. I can go to other city but I would go back here because I can't go on traveling without funds. So, I work my butt off everyday to save that money and so that I don't have to beg and ask from others. I love wandering as well. If I am new to this city, you won't see me in one corner of the hotel room and peek outside. I go out, and I don't care if I get lost.
My thoughts; people can only see the title but not the real wandering nomad in me. What if I have the money to travel, others would probably say, "She's wasting money and time." With my blog and my addiction to twitter has a purpose. I get to know people from different cultures and I get a free education from them. If there'll be more, then that's an extra freebie. It maybe a waste of time for you but not for all of you. You know that there is something good that can learned from it. You were just bitter because you haven't done the same thing at all. And if you would do it, you are scared others will laugh and ridicule your work.
I'll continue to be the wandering nomad. Even if you don't like it.

Life's Lessons 102
I am sure I made a post before and my post title is Lessons 101. This is part 2 and I'm gonna be quoting some people on twitter that has taught me somehow with their tweets. Most are out-of-the -moment tweets and the rest are conversations that I have with some tweeple.
DrBaher Perfection is not when there is no more to add, but no more to take away, I'm all for minimalism 
digitalfilipino I recall Seth Godin's Purple Cow. When u reach a point that people will go to the extent of making a parody of u, then u must be remarkable.
tiggerpal @Hunee, positive thinking is a powerful thing.
spin I don't hate the conversation, just the people. After years of blogging, I gotta admit it doesn't surprise me the reluctance to open up.
Dayngr I think it's not enough 2 feel it at the moment. You have 2 take that & think, what can I learn from this? How can this help me go forward?
philcampbell i truly believe that if you allow your gut instinct to dictate where you head to go your number of social interactions improve in quality.
jesatiu Kramer: Colorful account of life in one of the world's oldest societies, modern man reads of the origins of his culture and...civilization."
AmandaMooney He also says, "The world we live in is a succession of fleeting moments, any one of which might say something significant."
royblumenthal @MarkMayhew And 'common sense' is a dangerous thing to cite, cos normally it masks one's embedded beliefs, rather than embedded truths.
Tojosan never let your feelings get in the way of treating others as humans
MsInformation A life online doesn't negate social contract. Why is it some can't see that? Do people behave badly online because they think otherwise?

Social Media Etiquette
It wasn't easy to maintain what you are to other people you've met online. I must say this, I am having a hard time to mingle with people online. I go online and talk online because I love to blah blah. I talk, I write, I comment and I suggest. I may be too late for others are ahead of me but I am taking it slow only because I don't want to hamper myself with too much information that might get my head bigger than my body can actually handle. I don't want to be pretending I know everything in the world of Web 2.0.
I honestly love my profile online. Some people come and others go. It is simple. If once I deal with these people and if it offended them, they will stop dealing with me. I simply could not please everyone. Although it is sad to see someone leave, on the contrary, it opens the door to new meetings. Some may have stopped dealing with me but it does not mean that I close the door and barred the hallway to not see and meet them again.
In social media, I started as a person who would do a shout out on to anything. I got myself as a subject of a university gossip. I don't even call it gossip, I just want to yell out my idea and I didn't mean to be rude about my suggestion nor the idea ever give rudeness character to the person concerned. I found myself talking about other people just to get attention to my posts. I join this and that to earn. Now, I admit, that was definitely a wrong path to go to. Although it will not stop me from writing anything, I just need to be careful with what I write.
I am aware that there is no such thing as social media etiquette. I am aware that I know when to react and give blunt comments. I am also aware not to be easily involve with anything that is likely to be a war between who said it first or not. I might find myself in the middle of the crossfire and the situation maybe the fastest way to lose the benefits I got with social media.

Hardwork WASTED
"I was cranky since yesterday. I had this feeling that something will come up. I just don't want to lose my momentum for the Saturday's event.
I was born with adversities in life, and I was able to conquer all that because I had been the hard worker nobody would think of. I see life as a challenge that needs to be conquered through hard work and dedication. Although, there had been times that I was thrown to the mud, I stood up and walk again going through the same process with a brave heart that I will soon pass the bridge of uncertainty. Once on the other end, I felt successful no matter others may call me a fool.
So much with the belief that I can do it, I put myself at the bottom, giving others the recognition that I should have. I don't want them to tell me good job because it will distract me to my purpose. A purpose not on getting achievements in paper but achievement that when I am gone, others will think of the little ways I have done for them. I certainly do not want to do things for myself alone, but would like to do it with others who are somehow will benefit in what I do.
Yes, I call myself a hero. But a hero with no name. You can laugh, you can say something cruel, but you can never bring me down. That's me. The real me.
In my past years, I have grown to be someone with courage and pessimistic with all the things I do. Most of the times, I get scared because I know I am human. And if I am down, I blame entirely the me who decides and do what I think should be done. This time its different.
I worked hard on getting things run smoothly as possible. Ask the questions I needed to ask. The real deal is, I do not have enough knowledge what I am into but with trust to the people who are with me all the way, acknowledging that they have graduated in such prestigious schools with a lot of recognition. I put my name in front, for they need me to step forward and do the guerrilla work. I have placed my entire identify by talking to people one by one. People look me in the eye, trying to see something that may mean that I lied to them. I straighten my face with honesty and truthfulness that what I am saying is true.
I've set aside other responsibilities. Then, the day to reckon for the whole year, has come.
Two days before the event, a call was answered. Good thing I was the answering machine, saying the same line over and over again. A call that made my heart beat faster and my mind was saying, I knew this would happen. I did my best to make amends. I told myself to calm down, it will push through. I stayed focus and alert. I waited.
After telling my superior what happened, my superior said it is over. My heart devastated. I can feel the pain in my shoulders now. I can feel my mind explode. A tear rolled down my eye, Saturday's event is canceled.
From the first day I put my heart into the project and now I know it is needed to packed and kept hidden. Now I asked, what could have gone wrong? How come I didn't know about this? Did I forget to ask this?
I wanted to take all the blame but it can't be. I have done my part and it is quite obvious the other party did not. Only because of some assumptions, the other party thought it is not important to discuss. My hard work, my face, my words, proved to be all wrong. I was the guerrilla, not them. I was the one in contact, not them. I was the one who has back pains, not them.
It is a wasted effort. No pain, no gain.
(Will reflect on the subject more and soon I will write posts again)

February Love
Enormous when you feel it. You feel flying when you are in it. You are blooming everyday. Your mornings are like one new day to celebrate.
The never ending promise of being in love. So good when you have someone to give love to. You never thought you can do this for him or her. Red roses, chocolates, kisses and "I love you" are always present during this time of the year. The February Love where most couples celebrate an intimate and passionate time for themselves.
Hotel rooms are booked. Flower prices goes up. Chocolates are everywhere. Red is the color of the month.
Does anyone know that the color red means hot, can increase the rate of respiration and raising blood pressure. When we see color red, by culture, it means power. When we use red, it grabs attention and to get people to take action. No wonder Red is worn during Chinese New Year.
(Hmmmm...I should wear red everyday.)

Time to Change
Everyone desires to change the world but no one would want to start the change within themselves. It is ironic for one to change the world if he can't change himself.
Changes can be seen as either revolutionary (something totally different from what has been) and evolutionary (a refinement from what has been). It is usually easy to accept change as a simple refinement from what is usually done than to accept an entirely different or new changes.
Most of us don't want to change because change may mean personal loss and change requires additional commitment. Often it is describe like this joke: "How many people does it change a light bulb?" Answer. "Four. One to change the light bulb and three to think of how good the old light bulb was."
The same thing happen to us who would think of the past than to move on and make change. There is no change that is so easy to do but when we are all convince to change we slowly adapt and when we are all doing it, we didn't realize that there is something else to do. We got stuck at what we usually do. Even some of us, during job interviews says, "I don't like a routine job." But when you are in that job for 2 years you seemed to like what your doing. Funny but true.
Is it time to change? When do we need to change? What should be changed?

Getting Over You
My space was doing fine when you were not yet part of it. My space was gloomy and laughter is louder now than before. I was not looking for it but it came and entered the space I have been trying to protect from strangers like you. And I welcomed a stranger.
It was indeed a beautiful experience. I have sailed the sea wherein I fall, I cried, I laughed, I was broken hearted and now I am getting over you. Funny thing is that I smile every time I see something that reminds me of you. I definitely can say, I have moved on.
It is better to have loved and lost than to never loved at all. At least I was honest, and I hope you are too. If you're not, you will get to experience guilt and it may lead to heart attack. (I say, Good Luck!)
My sentiments for this heartache will stop. It will start by the time I posted this.
