today is wednesday

99% of the working population hates Monday because it is the start of another tough week of working. My husband is a good example because he so often complains about Mondays every Sunday night.  He’ll go on and on about why does Monday come too soon and why does it keep on coming.

I personally don’t like or hate Mondays. For me, it is just a day but same is not true with Wednesday. I hate Wednesdays because it is such a difficult day for me. I wish that I could skip two of my three classes on this particular day because these classes have kids who are just too damn impossible. I wish that I don’t have to teach in three different places on this day. I wish that I my students on this day were respectful and disciplined children and not the rich, bigheaded brats that they are.

Sorry. That is very un-teacher-y but I suppose it happens to every teacher. I love teaching and I like most of my groups but there are just some groups with students who have no positive chemistry to me and to each other at all.

Anyway, those are just too many wishes so I will summarize them in one final wish. I WISH I COULD SKIP WEDNESDAYS.

my new blog

As I have said in my previous post, I will be starting a new blog and I will be writing about it here. Well, sorry for the delay but let me give you my old excuse… I was busy.  I wanted to write about it right after my first entry but things got in the way and before I know it, 2 weeks have elapsed.

I believe in the saying “better late than never” so please allow me to announce that my new blog Vien’s Pot is now up and running. I would really be grateful if you could include it in your links and to show my gratefulness, I will definitely link back to your blogs (just leave a short comment there to say that you’ve linked that blog up).

Cheers!

you’ve got to be kidding

The PR update for the month of October 2009 has come and gone but this blog remains PR 0. I was hoping that this blog will get something other than zero considering that I’ve put more effort on it in the last few weeks. I’ve changed the theme which I thought would help the SEPRs of this blog and I’ve also posted entries here more often than in my other blogs because I really would like this blog to get a better PR.

Thing is, I would like to earn from this blog. My other blogs have better PRs but unfortunately I refuse to use them for sponsored entries. I wouldn’t mind my other blogs having PR 0  but things are the other way around so I have to have and alternative if I want to continue earning money from blogging.

I have considered using one of my other blogs to do sponsored posts but I decided against it at the same moment it entered my mind. So that’s not an option.

I thought of submitting this blog for reconsideration to Google but I did that already in first quarter of 2008. This blog had a PR 4 but I used it for sponsored posts so Google took my PR away. I submitted for reconsideration and I got the PR back but I felt that I already have therecord” because from then on, this blog just kept getting a lower PR every PR update. It finally dropped all the way down to PR 0 sometime in the second quarter of this year.

I don’t think it will ever come out of that rank anymore.  So resubmitting it to Google for reconsideration is also not an option.

So…

I decided to start another blog. (What!!!)

I know that I promised to myself not to have yet another blog because I know how difficult it is to manage many blogs but I think the best way to earn a decent PR is to start anew.  It will probably take me a quarter of a year to start earning money from it but I can wait. I’d rather wait for three months and be sure rather than put my hopes on this blog.

What will happen to this blog?

Well, it will stay for sure because I don’ like to waste its entries (around 700). And I will also update it every now and then.  If this blog gained a better PR in the future, it would be great but right now it is better for this blog to lie down low.

One thing is true even in the blogging world and that is: don’t put all your eggs in one basket.  So I will be creating other baskets I can use. Hehe.

Where’s the new blog?

Well I haven’t started it yet but I’d sure be writing about it here once I launched it so you’ll know where to direct your links, *wink
