I feel so down lately, I hope it’s just the weather, but I don’t think it is. My life has become quite routinary, and I am not at all happy about it. I miss the times that I can do a lot of things, like read a book, diy stuffs, nail art, beading, watching movies, watching television, chatting with friends, playing video games, bloghopping, going out with friends and fixing the house. I think doing sponsored writing has taken it’s toll. I know it’s my fault, who does not want to earn a lil extra moolah. It’s because I miss the times that I earn my own keep. It’s been like 9 years already. And I was just happy again to be earning. Ooops, don’t get me wrong with this. N has been providing me with the things I need (there’s nothing to complain here) but I just miss the times that I don’t need to ask or something, and just go ahead and buy things that satisfy me once in a while. I know you get my point.
But is it really worth my time? At some point, I think it is, but this time it should not consume me. As it is, I’m a little eager to just click and click all the available offers without me thinking, can this cause stress? I admit, I’ve been a little stressed beating deadlines, and has caused me some zits. Plus the fact that I have been eating a lot of junk foods while in front of the laptop doing sponsored posts. Yes it helps me think while munching on those chips, weird or not, well that’s me. I’m no longer allowing myself to sit my b**t out in front of the laptop refreshing the page too often waiting for an opportunity to appear, yes it gets a little tiring. Don’t get me wrong with this entry, yes I’ll still be doing sponsored writing of course! Especially now that it has allowed me to sponsor my own travels, I can now commit to my cousins to go with them to Beijing and Shanghai this March, thanks to “getting paid to blog”. Geez, it’s only now that I realized, OMG what am I trying to say? Bottom line is I still like to do sponsored writing and I just cannot give it up just yet. Golly, what boredom can do! I can’t even make up my mind. But I promise you, I can get rid of boredom and find something nice to do. That is what I’m made of, nothing and nobody can put me down! Yeeha!

Hey Girlie {{{HUG}}}. I know the feeling of wanting to earn your own money. I was in the same position a few months ago before I started my job. I think what you need is a week off or maybe two. In those weeks, do all the things that you love to do: read books, do lots of diy stuff, bloghop, etc, then come back. Maybe you will feel more refreshed and ready to take on more sponsored posts after that. :). I am thinking of you. Sorry I haven’t been on here much. I haven’t been feeling well lately. Stomach bug I think. :/
Thanks Ks, I will =)

Know what Girlie, I am feeling the exact same sentiments as you. This sponsored post thing has really taken a toll on my life and that of my family. Many times, I feel like stopping it but the thought of earning my own money again, esp in USD is just too hard to resist. Well, I guess we’ll just hv to juggle our time, prioritize our needs and earn lesser if it can bring us back happiness.
Shireen, maybe we’ve reached our peak already and it gets kinda boring. Let’s take a rest afterwhich we can start again.

i didn’t know that sponsored posts pay a lot. i’m not even into this online biz and yet i sometimes skip cleaning the house just because i want to be online all the time. i can’t imagine if i’ll start earning by blogging. i may not go to bed anymore. haha..
Evi it does, provided masipag ka mag abang, there are companies who email, but the rest aabang ka talaga

sponsored travels?! wow!!! baka i won’t mind na di na matulog because of that. hehehe
on a serious note, im sure it really takes a lot of your time. ako nga lang e…and i blog not even half as much as yours. super time consuming…tapos i have work pa. i can imagine the pressure din sayo cos you have deadline to meet. don’t forget that you need time for family, friends, and also for yourself.
hope it gets better soon…
Yes Lizeth, at least kahit pang fare lang ^_^ That’s why I can’t give it up just yet, siguro sobrang napagod lang ako
kaya bumigay na ^_^

You might be feeling a little bit burnt out. Take the time to relax and unwind. SPs can be addictive, specially when you see the paychecks coming in, right? Buti na lang newbie pa lang ako, the opps are not coming in like crazy. Kasi if they were, baka hindi ko na alam ang gagawin ko. I don’t like spending too much time sa pc, namamanhid ang pwet ko. Pero it’s nice na blogging pays for my monthly cel fone bill.
So, I hope you are feeling better now hipncoolmomma! *hugz*
thanks CutiePatootie! O nga, napapagod din pala ang utak, harhar ^_^ at korteng upuan na pwetty ko!

Hi Ate Girlie,
I know how you feel about earning your own keep. I miss working out of the house too and making big moolaah. My husband mentioned that he actually prefers me pursuing making money online at home than working out of the home. I’m well provided for just like you but it’s different if we are earning it on our own accord. I now have enough money to buy 2 of the cameras(Canon SD850) I wanted but I changed my mind and now I want to buy my own Macbook.
Nag=apply ako sa Pay2blog but when I found out that they give assignments and I can’t pick, umatras ako. So now, I just do sponsored posts through PPP only when I want too at my own time. Ako ang nasasayangan kung hindi ako mag-post lalo na kung tig-$10+.
Take a break muna and re-group. take care.
Tin, payu2blog is ok, it’s not really stressful, yun nga lang di ka pede pili, but there was once that they made me choose. Usually they give like 4-5 days allowance before the deadline. Best of all it’s only 60 words ^_^ . In a week they send like 4-6, pero di naman parepareho. But as you said you want to do SPs at your own time, sige sa PPP ka nalang, me din nag aabang ng mga tig $10+ , pag malapit na matapos ang gabi, maski $5 grab na din, wag lang ma zero sa isang araw. Kaya siguro ako napagod, because of this “ayaw ko ma-0 sa isang araw =( But now I’ve learned my lesson, pag ginaganahan ako, i can do like 5 in a day, pag wala sa mood ok na din ma-0 ^_^

Glad you’re not feeling too bored na (per above post). I guess it can get repetitive once in awhile. Pero buti naman you can do it when/if you feel like it. I agree with KC. Take a break muna and have fun.
I agree too, tama nga, maybe i just spent too much time doing it and have forgotten my “me” time
