pay per post version 4.0

With the global financial crisis we are all experiencing now, the idea of making extra income is the goal of every sane human being. Most of my affiliates are either into food-cart or clothing business. As financial analysts would often say, food and clothes are essential needs. Naturally, even with the prevalent crisis, a person would have to purchase food and clothes. So how do we survive our day-to-day lives with these financial issues? Pay Per Post version 4.0 Alpha offers bloggers opportunities to earn extra income.

Run by Izea, the interface of Pay Per Post version 4.0 is cleaner and looks more organized. A newbie at paid blogging will find navigating through the website hassle-free. But expect few paid opportunities as version 4.0 was just recently launched.

Like what our moms told us, patience is a virtue. And being patient for paid opportunities to come will surely be rewarded in time.

piece of heaven

It was the most peaceful and undisturbed weekend spent in a secret garden off the corner of Tagaytay in Indang, Cavite. I am referring to Balay Indang, a piece of heaven that puts you on a spell of calmness. The very second your foot steps on its soft soil, you know you are in for heaven's unruffled way of life.

Much as I want to narrate to you a detailed account of our anniversary weekend, I can only share a general description as of this time. We have bags that need to be unpacked and a load of photos begging to be viewed. For the moment, I hope the photo above makes you anticipate a comprehensive journal of our piece of heaven experience in Balay Indang!

quiet and rustic Balay Indang

Countryside. Quiet. Rustic. Spacious. Greenery. Convenient. Not really in order, but these were the things we had to consider as we looked for the-to-go-place for our anniversary weekend.


We've researched. We've made reservations. We've packed our things. Now, we're off for a hush weekend in a quiet and rustic home right at the corner of Tagaytay. Balay Indang, here we go!

one heart, one soul

Now, Gino and Jan, you will feel no rain
for each of you will be sanctuary to the other.
Now, you will feel no cold
for each of you will give warmth to the other.
Now there is no isolation for you.
Now there is no more loneliness.
Now you are two...
but there is ONE LIFE infront of you.
-Rev. Fr. Salvador Agualada JR., CMF

One heart. One soul.
Two years and counting.
Happy 2 years labski!

scream of delight

At 7 in the evening, while grilling meat for dinner, my husband handed me my phone saying "Balay Indang is calling you". With a puzzled face, I took the call, wondering why were they calling me. The minute the call was ended, I was up on my feet screaming yet again. This time though, it was a scream of delight!

It turns out, Balay Indang called me up to share with me the good news. Ate Sonia gladly told me that the big group moved their accomodation to another weekend! Which means, with less crowd, a quieter Balay Indang is welcoming us this weekend! After ranting about a ruined day, the phone call made me feel that the heavens heard my screams!

You won't believe how my husband and I looked like after the phone call. With arms around each other, like grade school kids, we hopped and hopped around the house, excited for our backpacking weekend!

*I'm sending a warm hug to MYLS for cheering me up! We just listed The Coffee Farmhouse to our list of Must-Visit Places!

what ruined my day

What ruins your day? Is it the bumper to bumper traffic even if you left for work early? A work deadline you missed out? A drained phone battery when you need to make an important call? A missing car key? It is draining, really. It makes you wanna scream your heart out.

Just this morning, it felt as if the world was picking on me as our weekend Tagaytay plan seemed impossible to happen. You see, my husband and I are spending our 2nd wedding anniversary tomorrow and we chose to celebrate it in Balay Indang this weekend. I was excited to see a text message from the caretaker this morning only to realize she was implying the venue was quite full. A group of 65pax was checking in with us! Nooo!

At this time, my husband and I are checking out every blog to see what would be the best alternative to Balay Indang. What we want is a quiet paradise with a rustic ambiance. So how is our research doing? Not good!

And that is what ruined my day!
