I bought a new pair of shoes, running shoes to be exact.

I waited for it to be on sale but even so, it costs a hefty price. I’ve been meaning to buy it once I saw it since I was planning to get one for running and keeping fit.

I’m just glad that I was able to buy this through the money that I earned through blogging. Maybe I should put up a list of things that I was able to buy because of blogging and freelance work. But then, I should start working on my freelance job again – got a lot of pending tasks; as usual.

My phone was cracking up whenever I would receive a message from one of my contacts that I knew I had to buy a new phone. So I bought a new T700 which I liked since I wanted my new phone to be from Sony Ericcson. I chose this one as this was the cheapest among the items on promo, anyway I’m not that big on cellphones. At least I’d have something to listen to whenever I’d like to play some music and such.

Again, it’s all because of blogging that I was able to buy this new phone. Hope to keep these gadgets coming!

I’m adding another set of links/widget in my sidebar: Because of blogging.

I just want to be reminded of the good things that this blog has given me which is what I want to show other people that it’s possible. Here are a few things that I’ve acquired and done through the money I made because of blogging.

• A Nikon DSLR camera:

• An HP laptop

• Treating my Day shift Colleagues out to dinner

Actually there are a lot more, like extra stuff that I can buy as well as trips in my country outside this region. I wouldn’t be able to go to these places or spend as much if not for this extra sideline that’s why I’m really thankful t have these. I will be working more and look for more opportunities online.

My hp bebe came with a twin! And it’s all because of blogging, again!

A week after I got my laptop, I was able to purchase another passion gadget, my DSLR camera. I was too high to tweak the former that’s why I never had much time to talk about the latter. I’m still on a high about having both these gadgets in February (there’s something about this month) but I know I should be able to find my return of investment.

I’ve always liked loved taking pictures and I’ve been wishing to get my own DSLR camera the moment I bought my first point and shoot one. Now, I’m having a bit of a time understanding the complexities of aperture, ISO sensitivity, depth of field, shutter speed, etc. since I’m still an amateur at this.

But again, it’s nice to realize your goals and be able to achieve them one way or another. It’s especially fulfilling knowing that the amount that you were able to raise is due to perseverance, hardwork and patience.

I actually bought another site because of this, which I had been meaning to get ever since I was able to take pictures. Now, everything has come to fruition. I plan on expanding this sideline and hopefully, I’ll be able to earn more than my work salary here.

Again, it’s all because of blogging!

Guys, let me introduce to you my new bebe!

I used to envy bloggers who were able to buy something out of the blog money that they were able to earn. Come to think of it, I used to envy bloggers who were able to earn blog money. period. That’s why I’ve always wondered how it would be like to be part of those people who were able to get their laptop or something else out of the craft they made online.

Although this was paid using credit, I’m able to get this new baby using my blog money. I never thought this would happen to me but it did! It’s such a nice feeling to be able to reap your rewards after some hard work, perseverance and a lot of patience.

I hope I don’t sound too proud, but I just want to let other people know that it is indeed possible. Hope we all get something out of our blogs!

I was able to treat my colleagues at work to dinner!

I promised them that I’d treat them one of these days when I would get my payout. Once I did get my first Google Adsense Payout, I wasn’t really able to share my blessings right away. I used the money to pay off some old debts and rotate it in order to maximize time. Once I was able to get it back, I suddenly told them I was to treat them out.

All 12 of them, hehe. We went out to a restaurant near our place. This was my promise to them and although it got delayed, the important thing is I stayed true to my word. Now that everything’s settled, the next Google Payout that I’ll be receiving will be entirely for myself alone. hehe. But still, it’s going to be awhile once I receive it. It actually took me a year to get my first Adsense payout due to the minimal traffic that my sites get. But I’m still happy though.
