Feeling like the semester has dragged along for quite some time now, it was interesting to wake up late and finally feel… WOW, it’s finally summer! For now, the weather is not good enough to be in the beach. It’s better to bathe in the sun in new patio furniture. Although that’s not the only reason why I am refusing to go to the beach this early in the summer. I don’t have gas money anymore. I would stop working this summer to try and focus into more important things, wonder what that is. When I started driving, a gallon of gas only costs around two dollars but now a year later, it costs almost five dollars! Thankfully, I drive a fuel efficient car so I usually have to fill up not too often.

Aside from enjoying my vacation, I hope to make some money online this summer. I wonder what I could do, I guess I’d have to read around some more. I’m not so enthused with having pop-up advertisements or too intrusive ones here in my site. I tried the widgets but they kinda suck so I’m sticking to writing.

The other day, I came across Dhadha’s online shop and I wanted to promote her site right away because of her good products. Need a new layout? Let her know. I’m thinking of using her services in the future in my next free Globe or Smart load give away. But that contest would have to wait ’til I’m certain that I have funds.

Anyway, I hope you will have a good vacation too!

Thank you for all those who joined my domain contest. A winner has already been picked. If you have noticed in the contest page, the entries were not really posted. This is to avoid cheating or other contestants submitting other people’s answer as if it’s their own. Most of the contestants got the correct answer. There was a problem with the subject-verb agreement.

Also, thank you to those who faved me in Technorati. Please notify me so I could fave you back. The correct URL for my site is http://reyn.angelic-pink.net

I might decide to give away another domain so stay tuned for further info.

Again, thank you for joining!

For those who need their own domain or simply wants another domain, here’s a chance to snag a free one from me. This contest is only offering a domain* so, do take note of that. However, I can recommend some free domain hosts for you if you want.

The-Princess.us is offering hosting for Filipinos only. It is managed by my dear Ate Ethel. You get a basic control panel and enough space to host your own blog. Of course, just like other hosts, you can not host any illegal or copyrighted materials in there. My Crazylicious domain is hosted over there.

FreeHostia is the home to two of my domains. I recommend it because it has good customer support. It also has free script installers which includes Wordpress and other platforms. One downside is they sometimes have a down time. Nonetheless, it doesn’t affect your files or anything.. it just goes out for a bit.

I have been hosted before by Ate Ems. You’d have to ask her if she’s still accepting hostees.

Ready to join my contest? Then head over here the Domain Contest page!

*Domain extension is limited to .com, .net, .org, .info, .us, and .name.

Google Pack requires Windows XP or Vista. Here is some Google software for your Mac.

Tell me what is wrong with these sentences, I dare you. It is directly copy-pasted from Google softwares for Mac. I am failing my English class or well, at least I am not getting an “A+” because of my somewhat distracting grammar. My professor told me to get help from the writing center. Furthermore, she told me to write using simple sentences, have somebody else proof-read my paper, and be in a group of native English-speaking students. I would have argued with her but I couldn’t speak straight English anyway. Believe me. I can read in straight English but not speak it without stuttering.

Anyway, after reading through my rant… I want to reward your patience!

I am giving out a free domain* with one year registration.

This is a contest that will run from now until May 1st.
