Terror in Mindanao

I can't seem to focus on my work these days. I am affected with what's happening in Mindanao particularly in Lanao del Norte for the past three days. Maigo, the town next to Kolambogan (that was attacked by barbaric forces) is my mom's hometown. In fact, my mom was just lucky to leave the place a day before the attack. She was on vacation for their annual fiesta and to reunite with her brothers, friends and family.

What I see on TV, is not at par with what's happening in Lanao. HOw can they ruin the lives of people trying to live happily? Both Muslims and Christians are living a harmonious life in Mindanao, but these insurgents are ruining it. How can a man looking for peace kill and mutilate bodies of civilians even children?

I want to remember Lanao as a very relaxing and beautiful place, filled with glorious people. I have wonderful memories of mom's hometown and I want to stay it that way...

Thanks for Dropping By...

I have received e-mails from people who have visited my blog. Thanks a lot!
I'm very glad to share my new passion and source of income especially for those working moms who want to spend time with their kids but just can't because of work.

I'll be posting links to find online jobs especially freelance writing in a couple of days. I just need to finish some articles for my client in Greece.

My passion for Writing

I love writing..my husband said it is really my passion. Writing has been my solace to everything and my breathing wall so to speak.

Until now, I have a journal aside from my blog. I write when I want to burst out my emotions but I don't want to tell everyone. I write when I'm in nirvana and doesn't want to share.

Its been my style for more than 10 years now...from my unwanted love to my unexpected pregnancy..

Now, I'm doing it for living but it still my true love and has my devotion. NO wonder I can write 10-15 articles in a single day..and even if a client doesn't pay me, I will still write...

New Clients!

I'm so happy! I got two new clients- one from freindster and the other onw from odesk.

Check the classified ads in freindster but be aware that it is a free posting site..there are many prankters there..

I am more assured with www.odesk.com, since the site also charges your client and verfy payment methods. I got a client from Greece for travel articles, and the pay is good. Check the site..many Filipinos are hired there...

How to Avoid Scams!

Opportunities for Filipinos via the internet are endless, so are scammers. If you Google online jobs, you will have thousands of searches, some are legitimate some are not. How can you detect scammers?

1. Stay away from those sites that ask you to pay for membership. the money you spent let say 10K will not be equal to the profit that you will get. Some "free" sites, are just free for the sake of marketing, you will not get many clients or projects unless you will update your membership.

2. They let you submit many articles before paying you. I read in many posts that some sites ask their writers to submit 100 articles before they pay for them. when your done, they will cancel your account, imagine the pain you did for those articles.

3. Research and research. Make use of the internet to double check the person you wish to work with if they are real or not. Google their names and add the word " scam. Some scammers are very professional that its not easy to track them in the interent. I once stumble a scam and they even advertised in JObstreet. Tehy sent me a contract and they offer salary in euro when they are in the States! Their "HR Head" only has a gmail, not a company mail...so poor... I read in an Interpool that they are a scam.

4. asking for your Information like bank accounts and credit card numbers... I dont have to elaborate on this, when they start asking for these, think twice. SOme clients would even offer to make a paypal account for you since most FIlipinos dont have Paypal Accounts. My brother's ( a webmaster) American client shoulders banks transfers fees...

Well, that's all I can advise...Filipinos should be vigilant against these criminals. We are very talented and we should not let other people take advantage of us..
