A Part-time Blogger no more

Posted by Angel Cuala in Saturday, September 27th 2008 under: My Family Tags: family, money

Yes, the title you just read is correct. I am not a part-time blogger anymore simply because I will be blogging for full time, and I do not know until when. Although it is my dream to become one, I did not expect to be this early. This is maybe quite personal but what else should I hide as I already exposed more than a half of my life story to my readers.

Three weeks ago, my former employer announced that the company is losing a lot, and one good resort to reduce its expenses is to offer Early Retirement package. My wife and I talked about it until we agreed that I will accept the offer, since it is quite higher than the usual. I am not in the position to say if the company will finally close or not, but I think accepting the offer is the best choice so far.

By the way, yesterday was my last day after serving the company for almost seven years. I know this is very risky because I now have no regular source of income plus the fact that the price of almost everything is getting higher.

Right now, I am not applying for another job as my thoughts about employment is now changing. I am now preparing to start a small business as I assume that people will still spend somehow this coming Christmas season. My friends are worried what I will do after the Holidays, and I honestly told them that I really do not know yet. But I have tons of plans, plans that I am currently studying very hard.

I am earning a few bucks from paid posting on my other blog, and another few from other on-line business transactions. And I must admit that this is very much far from my previous monthly salary.

Having said all of these, I am offering myself in any on-line and clean business transaction, or service using my Paypal account. In any case, please feel free to Contact Me anytime..

Lastly, it would help a lot if you could add me to your prayers regardless of what religion you belong.

Thank you very much!

Hi Angel,

That must have been a momentous decision. You could make it big online if you are dedicated , persistent and patient. Buy your own domain para mas lalo kang maka attract ng advertisers.

Send me your email address and I will send you all the sites that I’m really earning from. i could not believe the number of sites that bloggers could earn from if only they had enough time.

Be positive and you’ll make it.
BTW, bisitahin mo naman ang site ko. I miss your visits too, Thanks and more power.

Hi Ms. Jena,

I am so glad you are willing to help me. I already send you a mail and hoping for a positive result.

By the way, I already bought a domain name for this blog.

PS. I am very sorry for not visiting your blog lately as I am quite busty these days in preparation of my upcoming small family business.

But of course, I will find time to visit it.

Thanks for the motivation!

Harmony - I am really excited with my new journey in life. Thanks for sending me some blessings as I really need them.

Iva - Actually, I have still a lot of learning to do before I can say that I am one hell of a writer, but thanks for being the devil’s advocate. Positive reactions such as yours are truly motivating me.
