Almost every blogger dreams to have something bought from his blog’s earnings, and I’m one of them. Everytime I got some funds in my AdSense and Paypal accounts, I always add them and see if I am reaching my goal – to earn up to $400.

I’ve been blogging since 2008 and it was June 2009 when I only started earning some money. Yeah, it took me that long (almost six months) before I earn a single dollar from blogging. And now, after 10 months of earning very little amount everyday, after writing over 15 blog reviews and after those nights of reading “make money online” blogs, I finally reached the goal of my blogging dreams.

The first thing that I bought was my own webhosting account plus domain. I built another blog, Blastingmind.com. After that, the next thing that came to my mind was to buy a new HP notebook. But my earnings was not enough to buy that stuff. So, what I did was, I just kept my funds in my online accounts and wait until it reached the price of HP Mini. It was a right decision, right?

Then, I just continued blogging and harvesting some cents from my visitors. It was my “blogging routine” that time. But not anymore when a huge surprise came out.

I bought a 32GB iPod Touch, a Bose iPod speakers and a Nokia E65 phone, all in one package! I bought it from my PayPal funds. The day that I bought those gadgets was one of my happiest days of my life. Hard work resulted in to cool dream gadgets. And, I am very proud to say that, I can make money online now without any hesitations. He-he-he.

I was so happy when I got an invitation to be one of the resource speakers for an upcoming bloggers’ event, the Blog World Philippines 2010. First, I was hesitant to accept the invitation because I don’t know if I can speak well in that kind of event. But when I realized that this opportunity is another big step forward for being a better person, or simply being a better blogger, I changed my mind. This is another huge achievement for me. So, I replied to Sir Leo Fuentes of Asian Institute of E-Commerce and accepted the invitation.

So, the big day comes. The event took place at Crossroad 77, in Quezon City, Philippines.  The venue was huge and there were a lot of audiences – mostly youth people. And when I addressed my speech, there was a little problem but I think that was just OK. After my talk, I received a plaque of recognition and some (very nice) gifts. I was so happy and thankful. I also love the Question and Answer part where me with Ms. Janette Toral, Mr. Julius Cesar Mamaril and Ms. Cristina Manimbo-Gascon answer questions from the audience about blogging. In this part, I was able to express my insights in blogging.

After the event, we had a little picture taking time with the other resource speakers and some girls. I also met so many people having big names in the e-commerce industry.

This (left) is one of my first edited photo. It was horrible. But I'm still proud that I made this one.

Graphic designing can be considered as my “other woman” if photography is my “wife”. I love graphic designing as I love photography. It’s my cure in my boredom sickness and a teacher in my artistic knowledge. Years passed and graphic designing is still here with me, and making me always happy.

I still remember my first try in Adobe Photoshop (which is one of the tools in graphic designing). I just apply simple effects, and always saying “t*e” when an error message pops out. Adobe Photoshop is a huge complicated world. And, I must admit that there are a lot of functions on it that I still don’t know.

Here are my old digital artworks. Some of them were posted here, and has different stories, too.

Hello guys, I’ve been very busy these days. You know, I’m still a student. I have a very busy schedule, which was made more busier because of the Mr. Philippine Institute of Civil Engineers (PICE). We have our rehearsals every Sunday, which is the my only free day to be online. Whew, I’m still a teen but, I have a schedule of a huge company employee!

That’s life… Oh, by the way, let me just say the things I need to say to you while I’m very busy. (more…)
