A Homemaker’s Diary

This picture was taken using Sony K750i phone during our trip to Bagan Lalang in 2005. It was a few days before our wedding anniversary.

We were there around 5pm and had to wait for the ikan bakar restaurant to start operating before we had great dinner.

You can say it was a romantic fluorescent light dinner with mosquitoes biting all over me. Why do mosquitoes always attack me, huh!?!

How would you like to spend time shopping using coupon codes online? You don’t need to dress up to go out, get stucked in the traffic jammed, fight with the front car driver for the one empty parking space at the congested shopping mall and yet come home empty handed because you couldn’t find the perfect bargain for that set of plates.

With CouponChief you get 20% off on your Corelle selection. How about that? Let’s have a look at the range of offers CouponChief provides. This is a perfect choice to make using the Cooking.com coupon deals. Look what I’ve chosen for my dinner set. The Chutney pattern does look good on the dining table, right!

While you are browsing at the website, don’t miss the chance to save money on the clearance sales. They have over 400 items for clearance. Now you have a valid excuse to buy that Bundform pan..haha!

I snapped a lot of craft related pictures during my trip to the Kompleks Kraf few weeks ago. As usual after editing, I saved in one folder and as my picture collections grew over the next few weeks, I forgot which folder has which pictures.

So this is the big pottery man. You can see at the back there is another man doing a smaller pottery, he’s smoking with one hand while sculpting the vase with another, huh! (It’s that easy to make your own pottery item…haha!)

I’m going to go again soon since I missed the chance to do the batik painting. I thought the batik shop will open till night so I went around window shopping at the Expo area. When I came back around 7pm, the batik shop was closed..huhuhu…

So next time I post a batik painting here, you’ll know that that’s my own creation and hard work..haha!

Have you heard about blog marketing? For some of my blog readers who have been regular PayPerPost Posties you might find it common, but for those not familiar with the concept of paid posts, then this is your chance to know more about it.

These days those who have blogs can actually make money out of your talent of writing. There are advertisers who are willing to pay for you to write about their products and services in your blog. And the best part for us in this side of the globe, the payment is in US Dollars..just imagine how much you will actually earn after the conversion.

I have been doing these paid posts for the past one month on one blog – iReview and I have earned around USD400++. Now with this homemaker blog, since it has a PR of 3, I hope I can earn a lot more (provided I have the time and clear mind to write) 🙂

What I’m going to do with my earnings? you might ask..hehehe…First of all, I will use it to clear some of my credit card debt. Only then I will consider buying the new Vaio notebook or the 50inch LCD TV (now you might think I’m too ambitious) but nothing is impossible as long as we work smart and know how things will actually work out towards our way.

Some might frown upon my work as full time blogger, but that’s because they actually envy me. Who wouldn’t want to be paid to sit in front of the PC, browsing the Internet, writing about stuffs you find interesting rather than write about your mundane life. You get paid to do something you would actually do for free. Now that’s what clever means, huh!

So for those who have blogs and feel excited to follow along with my example here, come and join us as PPP Posties. If you have good Page Rank, Alexa ranking and Technorati why not use your blog for something that could give you a good side income. At least it would be more than enough to pay your electricity bill and broadband connection at home.

Think about the extra USD400 you can spend at the end of next month..

I was planning to write about Prison Break when I came across this news on the Star. I wonder what is happening to the morality of people these days. What did they get from raping a 73 year old lady? And another case of rape on a woman who is recuperating from childbirth..huh!

I read somewhere that in rape cases, it has nothing to do with pleasure or satisfaction, it’s more to show power and dominant over the powerless victim. Maybe that’s why the victims were always the helpless 5 year old girl, 80-year old grandma and some 30s pregnant lady.

What is wrong with the world today? How can we help to make it a better and safer place?
