Now That's What you call a Good Karma

Recently, I posted my rant about the person who scammed me. Since that was the first time that I experienced such (hopefully no more experience like that would follow) it took me at least a few days before I finally moved on. Honestly, I wasn't able to write for almost 4 days because of what happened. But the ranting thread became a blessing in disguise. Because of the event, more clients were able to see my name at the forum. Private messages and e-mails keep coming out of nowhere. And for the first time, I have reached as much as $1xx.xx in a few days. Oh my! Call it luck, call it karma, but i really like what I have now. I'm really thankful to God because He is so great. He knows that we have our goals and now He is helping us to reach it. I just hope that this continue.

To all my old clients who trusted me and new clients as well, thank you so much.

Scammed for the First time

I've been writing for more than a year now for different clients, foreigns and locals, and I'm so glad that I got this stint. Not only that i got something to do (while I take care of my baby) but also have a source of income as well.

But for the first time, a guy named HACKSURFIN from Digital Point Forums SCAMMED me. I created 10 articles for $50 and passed it to him as soon as I'm done. Unfortunately, no payment was made. He claimed that he already told me that they no longer need the articles, just to wash his hands clean. (You can see more of that conversation here) But this printscreen says otherwise.

I asked him nicely several times if how was he and the payment for the articles. I e-mailed and sent private messages in DP since he was un-banned a few days ago.

Good thing i remembered the website that he mentioned where the articles would be published. i directly sent a message to Patchsuperstore and from them i knew that Hacksurfin (the scammer) sold the articles for only $35.

So, if it is true that he e-mailed me that they were no longer interested in the articles, how come Patchsuperstore got it for $35?

Am i ranting? Yes i am! i'm workin' my ass off just to earn money..i'm giving quality articles at a very affordable rate, and this is something that i do not expect...i certainly learned my lesson..

Thank God that i already got several regular honest clients before i got an itrader from him. i already expected that since it was me who gave him the negative itrader first.

anyway, there's always a first time..no more second or third...

Inspired by Jean Marais

I was browsing the contacts at my friendster account a while ago and i saw Kuya Gary's shoutout (kuya gary is my bestfriend's brother). The shoutout says: Life is unfair. I got NOTHING but the best. It was quoted from Jean Marais.

I am indeed thankful for all the blessings that I have. Blessings that I never thought I would have. Blessings that I felt like I am not worthy of. And blessings that I wish I can share to other people.

I am thankful for my family (mom, dad, brother, grandparents, uncles, and aunts) because they have been supporting me althroughout.
- Others do not have a family as cool as mine.

I am thankful for my another family (Azia and Dada) because they make me happy and complete. Even at an early age, I am thankful that I already have Azia.
- Others are alone, lonely, and incomplete. Others haven't found the right one. Others cannot bear a child.

I am thankful for my friends who knows me inside out. Friends who have been with me since HS. Mai, Dha, Bon, Khring and more. They have known all my deepest and darkest secrets yet they accept me as I am. They listen without doubts, believe without hesitation.
- Others only have companions but not friends.

I am thankful for the job that I have. I am thankful that I met Lila and the KPO peeps. Although it is not much, but I am thankful that I earn without leaving home.
- Others are having a find time looking for a job. Others cannot budget their salary because of the expenses. Others are dead tired after a long day of work.
