We works hard for the money!

I’m a poor, poor, uni student, and whilst this makes me sad, I’m not ashamed to admit it. I get a little money from my father each month in order to buy the necessities, and I work two or three days a week at a Pizzeria, but when it comes down to it, I have very little money for me.. The money I get from working the floors at the pizzeria goes towards my apartment, and into savings for my future, and it’s a rarity that there’s money left over from what my dad gives me at hte begining of the month.

This is why I love Pay Per Post. Blogging for the advertisers at PPP provides me with that little bit of extra money that I can splurge on myself. It’s still early days, and I’ve only earned about $40 US from them, but I know exactly where this is going to go - Some lovely new clothes and a new domain for my art. It’s going towards the stuff which I’d have to spend my grocery money on to get in any other circumstance.

I love the extra money that PPP gives me in return for doing something so simple as blogging. It’s nice to know that I can now afford the things that I want as well as the things that I need. Go on, make money blogging - You know you want to! :)







Burn Notice

I’m not a particularly strong person physically, but mentally i am stronger than anyone I know. I’ve dealt with a lot of mental hurt and hardship through my years, and I believe that it’s that which makes me so much stronger.

it makes me wonder if Michael Weston, from Burn Notice (starting on USA Network on June 28th,) has been through a mental strengthening like me? I certainly think it’d help in his situation: From what I’ve discovered, Weston is stranded in a foreign city - moneyless, foodless, bedless… I can’t Imagine how hard it would be, but I certainly know what i’d do to survive. I’d get to know the people around that I can find, and earn their trust - at least that way I wouldn’t go mad from the lack of companionship. I’d rely on my ability to interpret people in order to work my way into better situations or use my wit to work together with others to get to the requires result. Food? Well, my blubber reserves would probably keep me going for a while, but i’m sure that I could survive on food-scraps: If the homeless can, I’m sure I could handle it if it was all that was available. Where would I sleep? The ground. Our early, early ancestors would have done it, so why can’t we? Weather? Hah, a little rain never hurt anyone.

I’m sure I could survive in a similar situation to Michael Weston on USA Network’s Burn Notice. I just hope he can use his wit and mental experiences to help himself out! I’ll certainly be watching Burn Notice on June 28th… That is, unless I end up stranded somewhere.







Digital photo frames

I have so many photos that I don’t know what to do with. They’re everywhere - on flash drives, storage devices, both my computers, my mum’s computer at home.. Still on my camera…! I’ve tried printing some of them, with both with my printer, with professional companies, with do-it-your-self-printing at pharmacies… And then, of course, I have the problem of where to actually put the photos - Photo frames? Albums? Ugh.

I first heard of Digital photo frames about two years ago, and was completely gobsmacked at the idea. You quite literally just slip a memory card into the frame, which then displays a random photograph from the memory card on a time delay - it’s a great solution to the storing of photographs! You’ll never really need multiple photo frames or albums again!

You can get a digital photo frame from Digitalframez.com.au - they offer a variety of digital photo frames in 7, 8, 9, or 10 inch frames in varying colours. I think it’s pretty reasonable to spend $134.16 ($NZ) on a seven inch frame, considering you’d never really have to buy many frames ever again! :)

I might buy one of these for my dad for father’s day :)

I’m just a big kid.

I am quite honestly one of the world’s biggest kids. I would much rather sit and watch cartoons (such as the Simpsons, Futurama, South Park. Hell, I even watch Kim Possible and other Disney shows) than the news. I would rather play my Wii, Nintendo DS or the playstation than read a book. I’d rather sit and colour something than do my study.

Speaking of which, I’m procrastinating again. In particular, I’m procrastinating with the help of Coloring Pages at Thedollpalace. Why? Because anything is better than studying. And colouring is better than anything! Thedollpalace offers a wide variety of colouring pages, particularly aimed at children and young teens. The colouring pages work on a click-and-fill basis – you pick the colouring page you would like to use, pick a colour from the colour palette and simply click where you’d like to fill that colour! They have heaps of line art drawings to pick from, including Disney! Needless to say, I’ll be wasting the rest of my afternoon colouring in pictures of Ariel (The little mermaid) and various Neopets faeries.

Thedollpalace even offers the opportunity to upload your own pen-and-ink picture, of which you can then colour in using the same process!

Really, these Coloring Pages could entertain anyone for a few hours – be it children, young teens, procrastinating uni students or adults wanting to re-live their childhood in a digital form. :D

Bloggerwave :)

As you should all well know by now, I’ve started doing some sponsored posts. I’m a poor university student, and any money is good money. Payperpost is good, but i’ve decided to expand my sponsored blogging just marginally by signing up to Bloggerwave and doing some sponsored posts with them. I won’t be blogging more than I normally do, I will just be using the additional company for the variety of opportunities!

So yes, I’m actually quite excited to be blogging with these guys, simply because I hope to get some different opportunities to that which I get offered elsewhere. Sponsored-posters, you should check Bloggerwave out and see if they’re for you. :)
