Ed Earns

I need a break. My head is aching because of customizing this website and its template. Codes are circling around my mind. I need to rest since this is consuming much of my time as well. Sheesh.

I’m planning to buy my own domain for this site already… still working on it though.

I just realized that it’s already been a year since I started blogging back again to earn money and now that I found this out, I have to give a recap on the past year on how much in total I’ve earned through the different programs I’ve signed my website and then some other sites out.

These are my earnings during the year using soloflighted.com

These are my earnings in dollars for my site and then some.

In totality for the year, here’re my earnings.

I’m actually in a total shock that I’ve earned that much in a span of a year. But I’m equally in shock in locating where this amount has gone off. hehe. Of course, there are bills and other expenses. But I’m happy cause I didn’t expect this much to come to me.

I have 4 blogs to maintain, two have their own domain and two are free blogger accounts. I don’t earn as much in those blogger accounts but the domains are really vital.

For now, I’m planning to get another domain. hehe.

I work in a call center aside from blogging as a sideline. It’s a bit hard since I also go to school. I have a full-time job, I’m also a full-time student, a part-time blogger; and what do you get? A person who doesn’t have that much time for personal and extra-curricular activities. But it’s nice since it adds to the credibility of my personality.

It’s hard to find good manpower nowadays, especially that it has become a stiff competition in looking for the best people. Maybe I should look for people like Dennis Carey. Sometimes when you have skills, it’s hard because people demand for different expectations on how they want their careers to take place.

SmartBro I’m upset.

I just had my services transferred to another location and within two days they responded and installed the equipment.

I just paid a thousand bucks for it. I would have to add 450 bucks if I was the one who uninstalled the the equipment. Since I’m a downright cheap person, plus it’s not that hard to go on the rooftop and disconnect the wiring, I did it myself.

However, there’s a problem with my connection. Apparently right now; whenever I open a browser, I am redirected to their Smartbro portal informing me to use my account number and service request number to get in. However, I still couldn’t push through.

I went to their local office to raise the matter, however, I was told that I’d still have to call the customer service hotline for they don’t have any live technicians there. I was thinking that my account was barred of internet connection because I wasn’t able to pay or something but they said that my account was very much updated and that I just had to wait for a call from a tech.

When I arrived home, I kept on calling the hotline because I was having a hard time getting through. When I finally talked to a rep, I was given some basic troubleshooting steps. I just had to enter my service request number and account number in the Smartbro Portal webpage. However, it had different errors. It came to a point that they had to forward the problem to their technical department. I think it had something to do with activating my equipment or something. They said I had to wait for 24 hours until it’ll be fixed. All the time I was upset because of the time that was spent doing nothing. It was my days off and I had no internet connection. It was such a bummer.

The next day, it was working. When I called to request for some credit, the Smartbro rep said that he couldn’t issue me some because the time it took for me to create the trouble ticket and the time that the issue was fixed didn’t even reach 24 hours. I told him that I was out of service for 2.5 days but I called them the the next day. So basically, I didn’t have any “day” or “days” I was out of service.

I gave a bit of a lecture to the rep, saying that they shouldn’t treat customers like that. I told them that I wasn’t able to call directly through their hotline to create a trouble call because I didn’t have any Smart phone. I had to go to their local office just to discuss the matter and I was redirected to calling the hotline again. That alone, had inconvenienced me because of travelling and the time. However, the agent didn’t budge in. I didn’t want to argue anymore.

I currently work for an internet service provider and I usually know the tricks on how to go about these situations. But I just gave up and didn’t ask for a supervisor anymore. The Smartbro service is in general, okay for me. The experience just had to happen to me.

Till then.

Somehow, I can’t seem to understand the weather we’re having nowadays. It has been very cold the past week and we’re supposed to be living under a tropical weather. People have been wearing jackets whenever I go to work which is a given since we’re in an air conditioned building. However, even in school, I see schoolmates sporting the latest hoodies and jackets and sweaters that adds spice to their uniforms. I don’t know until when this will stop but it’s a bit weird considering we’re supposed to sweat a lot because of our climate. All Year Cooling and Heating by Tom Smith, is it an effect of global warming? Probably. But we just need to be prepared so that we wouldn’t catch colds and such. As for me, I’m accustomed to bringing my jacket wherever so it’s not that hard to get it out. The weather, it’s really unpredictable

Here comes the drought of not having enough entries or tasks. Still I’m very thankful that it coincided with the month that I first started blogging in order to earn some income. It was on a November that I first created my comeback (to blogging) entry.

So right now, I’m going back to saving up and anticipating for more opportunities.

I’m just so glad that I was able to use some extra money while I was in Manila for a business trip. Because I doubt if my salary could withstand the expenses of the metropolis. I was able to get my money back through reimbursement.

Anyway, I’m looking for more opportunities again.

I want to go abroad. The drive is too strong right now that to just go outside the country. I don’t know where I’ll be going to but it would be nice if I have enough money too. It’s hard to just be at a place that you have no idea what to do or that your plans are limited because you’re way off budget. But it would be very much better if you have people to go with in order to share the situation. That’s why mingling with other persons wouldn’t be that bad. It would be better if I can find some San Diego Public Relations Service that will help me if ever I decide to go abroad. I just hope that we can find some honest people so that I won’t have to worry about being mugged or hoaxed. I’m crossing my fingers that we can go anytime two months from now.

I miss my friend who’s somewhere in the US of A. We last parted during first year of College and she I was never able to see her again. We constantly emailed each other but somehow it stopped.

She’s somewhere in the land of the Orange County and I’m not really sure what has happened to her since our communications was cut off. I stopped schooling at some point s and she pursued what her parents wanted for her. I believe she’s right now working as a nurse or probably be enjoying entertainment in San Diego California while I’m here working my buttocks off, to be politically correct, in a call center industry while doing a lot of sideline by blogging and talking about stuff such as why I’m such in a sorry state. But nevertheless, I hope I can still see here. I do have positive notions that I will be able to talk to her again soon but I just don’t know how soon that time will come.

I went to Western Union and got my first Google adsense Payout!

The amount was for a year’s worth and even if it’s not that big, I’m still very glad I was able to reach the hundred dollar mark.

I went to a Western Union branch inside Robinsons in Fuente Osmeña on a Sunday. I was a bit apprehensive at first cause I was assuming that Western Union needed more than the details that were indicated in the Google webpage. I wondered if they’d even accept the information that I got, since this is just a pick up.

I told the attendants that I wanted to pick up a Western Union Quick Cash transaction.

I was told to just fill up the Receive Money (yellow form) with the details and presented one government ID to the rep and after a few minutes I got my money!

Since it was $115.96, she gave me a 100-dollar bill and exchanged the rest with my local currency. In any case, I’m so glad that I got my payout!. Western Union has been very helpful and easy; to think that it was FREE (well okay, there was a 17-cent charge for the Documentary Stamp Tax – DST). The amount was very minimal especially when you’re earnings are based on work that don’t feel like wort at all.

This is my first Western Union transaction and I’m very glad!

First time to hold a hundred dollar bill. hehe
