Of Blog Contests, Events and Sulitizen

I am blogging as it is cathartic - it gives me a feeling of peace and freedom. It brings me joy everytime the article I am typing gets to the stage wherein I actually hit the publish button -- oftentimes though, laziness is getting the best of me.. or could it be what they call writer's block?? Personally, I'm not sure, all I know is an idea will hit me and then I find my fingers caressing the keyboard and pffft! Before I knew it, I deleted everything I typed in because I am not sure what angle to write, what to include, how to end it, (insert my long list of excuses. LOL) . And then I would remember, I write as it is better to have an emotional outburst in my uncomplaining notebook and my sturdy keyboard than stab others with sharp nabbing words!

Oh well, enough about it. Let's talk about other blogs.

Whenever I read blogs I always see contests left and right (I know it's a way to maintain readers/audience) and I always wonder why they buy all those pretty stuff just to give away to strangers readers, I must have been hiding under a rock! Now, I learned that they have sponsors (ohh lucky them!) that sends them those cute li'l give-aways (not before hand-picking what items to keep for themselves, I know. *wink*) I am never lucky at raffle draws before and I don't know why that will change, but I have tried to enter a few of those contests - I lose more, than I win. Oh well, but I will still try my luck one last time.. oh! but before I do, I almost forgot.. I wasn't able to attend the Blogger's Fiesta last night at The Fort! (boo!) I heard it was fun and engaging.

Moving on, though I wasn't able to personally meet & greet those bloggers, I was still able to meet a few friends through friends of friends and through the social networks (how else?!). One of them is Mhel , and I am trying to support her on her entry in one of Sulit.com's contests that has something to do with a definition of a Sulitizen (a term coined from Sulit and citizen, to mean a certified member of their website). Details after the jump.

And with this, I am crossing my fingers and ankles, hopefully I will bag something when the raffle draws near.

On Line Shopping Galore

Life is too short so enjoy and go shopping galore! Wehehe

Seems like this is exactly what I am doing. But not the usual mall hopping or boutique hopping every weekend. This is easier --a looot easier-- since all you have to do is surf surf and surf. Yep I am addicted to on line shopping. I have been wanting to do so but the first attempt was unsuccessful.. I was ready to buy an Über cutesy party top from an entrepreneur and was about to pay for the item but then I have no Gcash and was too lazy to reload it in my mobile wallet so I opted to go to the nearest bank in our area and deposit the money to her bank account, but alas! the freakin' bank is offline and I was Über lazy to go to a not-so near bank...and there went my first attempt on online shopping.

Then after a few months, my colleague is establishing her own online shopping site and asked me if I wanted to order flip flops (sample items) of course free International shipping. Ahehe

Also, I chanced the site of Chynna O. and saw some (well..oh okay..most) of the items are really fab and cutie. So I got hooked and so most of the time that I am online I surf and surf and surf for items that caught my eyes.


PS: It is not advisable to order shoes online specially if the size of your feet varies (meaning sometimes it 5 1/5 and sometimes it's 6 -mine- aheheh). Also you cannot touch to feel the material it is made of (blisters are ouchy, not to mention not a very likable sight). But it's good if they have a return policy -though I'm afraid not many of them have. =(

But nonetheless, it is really an enjoyable pastime but sometimes I go crazy over the items that I often have a battle with my logical and practical side of the brain plus a tug of war with my wallet. ahehehe.


PPS: Try it though, it is very convenient, efficient plus time and energy-saving as well.


PPS: Multiply is a haven of many young and creative entrepreneurs.
