Amazon Associates

Did you notice the Amazon Associates included in the Monetize section of blogspot or blogger? Well, I just notice it this morning and was really pleased with it especially that I buy most of my items (gadgets and books) at Amazon's website. I am pleased that monetizing my site through amazon associates is easier than it used to.

I have an account with them already so I don't need to register anymore. If you are new though, just create a new Associates ID.

I like their product preview features best.  The amazon associates widget is already included whenever you create your post.  When you select words, those words will automatically be placed in the "For:" section of the amazon associate search engine - no need to type for the product.  When you press the "GO" button, the widget will automatically search for product you want to include in your site.  Really beneficial!

I'm sure there are so many affiliate programs available in the web.  It's great that google/blogger thought of including amazon associates in their plug-ins/widgets.

Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Alvin and the Chipmunks. All opinions are 100% mine.


Have you seen the "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel" yet? That movie was the first movie that my little toddler saw in theater. She was extremely happy and excited while watching that movie. Then last month, we are often at McDonald's just to collect their Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel Happy Meal toys.  My students also like Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel that's why I gave my best behaved students free movie pass to watch the Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel during our quarterly STUCO Movie Day last Friday. They enjoyed the movie so much that they could not stop talking about their favorite parts this morning while they were having snack during their recess time. Honestly, I am another Alvin and the Chipmunks fan since childhood.  I have their music collection.  It looks like I'll have dvds in addition to my music collection.

 "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel" is now available on DVD, Blu-ray and Digital Download on March 30th, 2010.  They have a single-disc version and a two-disc special edition.  The two-disc special edition includes "The Squeak Along" Bonus Disc with music and all other singalongs from the movie.  I'm excited especially that I want to collect any Chipmunks items and have my little girl (and her mommy) enjoy watching or playing with them.  I'm sure my students will also be happy with the news especially that not all of them saw the movie in theaters.
Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel (Two-Disc Special Edition)
I will try making my students 'munk' themselves on April 1st - my April fools day treat for them! I'm sure they will have a blast doing that, I enjoyed it even though I'm not a kid anymore. My toddler also enjoyed watching me while I'm trying to 'munk' myself. She was literally screaming her favorite words, "Wow, Very Good!" while continuously clapping her tiny hands.


If you are a chipmunk fan, visit http://www.munkyourself.com and 'munk' yourself or share it to your child! You will have a blast with this! My toddler and I did!



You can customize your munk and even create audio message. Once your customization is done, you will get a chance to preview your message then send it to friend, add it to your site, download it or save it to gallery.
I would love to get my blue-ray copy of Alvin and the Chipmunks to complete my Chipmunks cd and dvd songs and movies. We would love to watch the Alvin and the Chipmunks movies one from time to time. I will pass down my Alvin and the Chipmunks addiction to my child who seems to enjoy them too. 


Check out "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel"'s DVD, Blu-ray or Digital Download and buy it now.

I will encourage my students' parents to check out this family friendly film and add it to their home collection!

Fan of Robert Kiyosaki

I am a fan of Robert Kiyosaki and his books! I especially love the "Rich Dad Poor Dad" which is the # 1 Newyork Times Best Seller. The book explains how people can achieve financial stability in their Life .
I have the audio book copy since I hardly have the time to read so whenever I'm doing something, I listen to his books especially while I'm at work organizing my room.
Rich Dad Poor Dad

If you haven't read any of his book yet, grab a copy of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" first.


Rich Dad Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money-That the Poor and the Middle Class Do Not!Book Excerpt's - The main reason why people struggle financially in life is because they spend so many years in school and college studying various subjects but have not learnt anything about money and how it works, thus remaining financially illiterate. So when they face the real world they struggle vary hard to earn money. The main reason behind the struggle is due to lack of financial literacy which makes them unaware of the potential opportunities which exist's around them, which can make fortunes on the other way around . So they work very hard all through their life to make money and in the process make some one else' rich and still remain financially weak.


Financial literacy is all about how money works and how to have it work for you.  We hear people around us saying "study hard" , "get good grades" ,"secure an employment in a big organization" for a big pay check, but no one ever educates us anything about money and How It Works and How to have it work for you. The rich know very well about these subjects which they pass on through generations. This is the main reason why the rich become more richer and on the other hand , the poor and middle class struggle very hard through out their life to make money but never become financially Independent.

Mission Accomplished!

I have been busy creating our first real business website - our shopping site. However, there are still few things I need to do before finally making it available to public viewers like 'terms and conditions'.

I also finished my own adgitize tool. It wasn't very easy getting 100 blog urls that would be perfect for my widget especially that I don't really know that many people online but I finished it. Hubby helped in creating some of my blog badges and troubleshooting my codes.


Mission Accomplished! I can now use my widget to adgi-drop or adgitize!

Magic Mic Novelty Toy Echo Microphone



Our little girl said "Wow!" the moment I handed her this $8.95 Magic Mic Novelty Toy Echo Microphone we bought in ebay. This 9 1/2 inch long microphone echoes whenyou speak or sing into it so you'll hear the sound of your amplified voice. There is no battery needed for it.



Obviously my little girl was so excited to use it.

Information Updates

I learned few drawback of getting domain names for blogs - one is updating every information in all sites where your blog is parked, another is the page rank and all other ranks restarting to NA or 0. I guess I have to wait at most 6 months before I get opportunities again.

I just hope I don't forget to renew my domain subscriptions.

Dental Visit

I really need to find the time to visit my dentist again. I do have a choice of paying $100 to have a complete dental cleaning or getting another dental insurance to get that treatment for free. I would like to make sure that we take care of our family's oral hygiene but my current insurance doesn't cover all of those. It also doesn't cover any treatment to improve our teeth, mouth and smile's appearance. We really like to make any treatment's result as natural as possible - that is why I always like a filling that closely match the color of my teeth, not the traditional black filling that is still visible in one of my teeth. I just wish the prices here is not extremely high, perhaps when we move to the states we will visit a cosmetic dentist San Diego. In the meantime, I really need to visit our local insurance provider so that my family and I won't miss our regular dental treatment.

To Do List Today

I changed my blog addresses last week, that means I need to start updating my addresses in every website where my URL is parked. That is one of my many to do list for today.

Love of Singing

Our little girl loves singing eventhough we can hardly understand her all her words yet but she's certainly in tune. She recently learns to use microphone by watching singers in TV using their own microphone. Recently, she was trying almost everything she is holding as a microphone, from a hairclip, blocks and xylophone stick so we decided to get her own microphone. We visited almost every toy store here in the island but didn't find anything so we resorted to online order again. We got her a Magic Mic Novelty Toy Echo Microphone, I'm sure she'll love it when she gets it. When she gets older, we plan to enroll her to a singing lessons for the advancement of her talent. We are sure that will benefit her. We also plan to enroll her in a ballet or dance, piano, swimming and taekwondo lesson when she gets to the appropriate age. This means saving a lot for our little girl.

Quitting Games

Okay, I'm through with playing facebook games. I just don't have the time to do it anymore, that's how crazy and busy my schedule is lately. I am just thankful that I still have time to watch movies with my family. That's what we will do this weekend.

Scrapbooking

For the past seven years, all our pictures are stored digitally - only in our harddrive. I never get the chance to print all of them but when I found I can print it online and have it shipped here at home, I knew I will finally have all my digital pictures out for our family and friends to see without turning on the computer. I also learn about online scrapbooking this year that is why I have been doing it nonstop whenever I have the time. Now, I have about 10 photobook scrapbooking. I love the results of those printed digital scrapbooks that's why I am still designing 20 more scrapbooks - it's a great idea to have a monthly photo books for my little girl. Perhaps by the end of the school year, I will create a photobook for my students then give it to them as a souvenir.

I know it won't be long until I bring that photobook/scrapbook collection to a hundred. I am excited. By then, I will surely need a scrapbooking supply storage or my husband will go crazy if they are not properly organized. When I get those supply storage and my little girl is already 2 or 3 years of age, I will also do some scrapbooking offline. :)

My Own Adgitize Widget

On Saturday or Sunday, I will create my own adgitize widget that will make it easier for me to adgitize, I think it's just time consuming for me to click and click badges to do adgitizing and sometimes I'm clicking the same badge over and over again. It's just difficult for me to adgitize because four of my blogs are active in its advertising. It's hard to click 200 badges everyday! I adgitized for my two blogs but couldn't do it anymore for the other two. Whew!

In a way it is good to adgitize and EC drop because I'm seeing different blogs available in the net but then I seldom read them. Hopefully when I finish this widget, I'll have more time to blog hop and comment using hubby's laptop while this laptop will be adgitizing on its own. I'm sure hubby wouldn't mind adgitizing for me. :)

In my adgitize widget, I will be featuring all my blogs, my top EC dropper's blogs with adgitize on their blogs, if there are more slots available, I will be adding blogs of those who comment on my blogs. That's the plan! I just need the time to do it. So much to do but so little time. I wish there's more of me... - LOL!

Adgitizing / Cheaper Domain

LOL! All my domain name were from blogger.com for $10 per domain name. I didn't bother searching other websites for cheaper domain names then as I was doing my adgitize drop, I discovered some good website offering way cheaper domain name - some at $0.99 per domain name. Cool! Too late for me though.

Ssince I started advertising at adgizize, this is the first week that I'm adgitizing. I hope to always have the time to click banners and adgitize. Maybe next week I'll try dropping EC also. Hmmm, that's when I have the time to do so.
