Project Nightmare

August 29, 2009 2 Comments

I started a project today.

I’ve got two hosting plans.

Hosting plan A runs MyPinkNotes.com and TheTwoGeeks.com.
Hosting plan B runs ViennaLopez.com, BizarreMarriage.com and BlogLeafs.com.

I decided to drop TheTwogeeks.com and BlogLeafs.com and just merge their contents to MyPinkNotes.com (this blog).

And because each hosting plan can have up to 3 domains, I decided to put the 3  domains in and hosting plan B (and drop hosting plan A).

In the process of doing so, I almost ruined ViennaLopez.com and I thought I’ve lost MyPinkNotes.com forever.

Importing and exporting posts are easy but moving to from one host to another is another story. Somewhere along the way, I got confused and accidentally deleted the database of BlogLeafs.com before I was able to transfer its contents to MyPinkNotes.com.

So I lost BlogLeafs.com along with all the efforts I’ve exerted in that blog. :-(

I’ve been working on this since this morning and although I was able to move MyPinkNotes.com to hosting plan B and I was also able to import the contents of TheTwoGeeks.com to it, I won’t say that this project is successful. I lost one blog in the process and that sucks!

Old habits die hard

July 2, 2009 2 Comments

I meant to write about my recent travels. I meant to upload some pictures. I meant to write about my new home. I meant to write about a lot of things. But I didn’t and I am not sure why.

If you’ve notice, I took a step back from blogging. I started to merge blogs because I can’t manage them all separately and I don’t find some of them useful anymore.

I think I got lazy because one of the incentives of blogging is not there anymore. I don’t know how others do it but I can’t simply take a very cheaply priced writing assignment. So unless the status of writing jobs goes back to how it was before, I won’t be accepting any assignment.

But I won’t give up blogging completely. I will be popping every now and then because I’m a blogger through and through. I will be lazy sometimes, I will experience writer’s block sometimes, and I will prefer to do some other things sometimes… but I will always come back to blogging.

On having a baby

April 15, 2009 Leave a Comment

After almost two years of being married we are naturally bombarded with questions such as

“When is the baby coming?”

“Are you already expecting?”

“No? So when do you plan do you plan on having a baby?”

“Sorry but do you have fertility problems?”

“Don’t you ever like to have babies?”

I always answer these questions politely although sometimes they are kind annoying especially when they come from people who are obviously nosey.

Thing is, we are not yet pregnant because we want to stay that way for the time being. That is to say—we are carefully planning and preparing for it but we are also open to surprises. We will always welcome pregnancy whether it happens now or later like we plan. And when it does, it will certainly be great time for me and my husband. It will be my first time and I am quite happy to know that I have loving a loving husband, parents and in-laws who will support me through the process and will help me and give me tips about pregnancy and about raising a child. And if that is not enough, there are websites created to help expectant parents. Websites such as ParentsConnect.com answers and discusses questions that may arise before or during pregnancy. They have expert advices column that offers pregnancy guidance and support from professionals and there is also a forum where parents can simply share about their pregnancy issues and help others with theirs. This website has the answers to various questions about pregnancy and other things connected to being pregnant.

Such websites are truly helpful to parents who are experiencing a wonderful and special time.

A helpful web hosting services comparison site

April 4, 2009 Leave a Comment

Other than this blog I am also running 6 other blogs plus a small blogging community and I have to say that I am quite happy and contented with my web host. I did encounter a few mishaps with my web sites but they were immediately fixed with the help of my webhost’s client support.

When looking for a web host, it is also important to check all the particulars of the hosting and not just the price. Finding a cheap web hosting is not difficult but finding a web hosting service worthy of the price could be specially because there are hundreds of web hosting services available. This is the reason why there are websites that compare web hosting services from different companies to help you decide which web hosting plan is perfect for your needs. WebHostingReport.com is one of such and not only does this website help you decide on which webhosting service to avail but they also offer guides to web hosting beginners, tips on finding on finding a good web hosting company, and other helpful articles that could help new webmasters.

My Pink Notes

April 1, 2009 1 Comment

I have been away too long from this blog and that could only mean one thing—I am not doing a lot of sponsored articles these days.

This blog along with two other blogs are the ones I use to generate some sort of a profit from blogging. I love blogging and although there are a lot of free blogging sites out there, I chose to host my own blogs therefore this hobby is costing me money. It is not expensive but I have to do something to support this hobby and it is really just a plus if I earn a little bit more.

What I earned from blogging in the last few months is not a lot but at least it is enough to run all my blogs and my blogging community for another year.

Right now there are a lot of things to think about and I should carefully prioritize them but my blogging will always be there. It may get less at times but it is not something I can just drop.

Spring Break Ideas

February 10, 2009 Leave a Comment

My brother in law is thinking of visiting us here in Shanghai for his spring break vacation. He said that instead of going to Tunisia with most of his classmates, he’d rather spend his vacation here in Shanghai because he has been to Tunisia several times.

I don’t have anything against my brother-in-law coming to stay with us for a week but I don’t understand these travel agencies in Europe that offer the same destinations for spring break vacations. I am sure that there are interesting places other than Tunisia and Turkey for students to spend their spring break in. Why can’t these agencies just go online and look for some other places because there are a lot of websites that offer resources for spring break ideas.

Xtremetrips.com is a very good example of an online resource about the best places where students can spend their spring break in. This website also offers some great deals that are surely affordable for students.

Meeting People Online

February 10, 2009 Leave a Comment

I know a lot of couples who met online and I am quite impressed by most of these couples because despite of many negative things that result from people meeting online, these couples seems to be doing really well in their relationship.

I personally don’t have anything against online dating and meeting people online because based on my personal experience, I’ve met quite a lot of real nice people through the World Wide Web who share the same interests like mine. These people later became my friends.

One of our friends (who is a bachelor) once said that it’s getting more and more awkward to approach a girl in a bar or in restaurant simply because the people in these places doesn’t seem to be “looking for something” or that most of the girls in there are aiming for something else other than a possible relationship. I believe he has a point there. Why not just go somewhere where you can be sure that the people you’ll be meeting have the same interests like yours. In the net where chatting is offered, you’ll immediate know where to go because there are different “Chat Rooms” for different people. If you are a single parent and would like to meet and talk to other single parents, you can go to “Single Parent Chat”. It’s as easy as that.
