New Squid Themes & May Payday

How it is said that it's better late than never. I know I've been a few days now since the last Squidoo payday. Pretty much my time consume in learning a whole bunch and exciting things happening at Squidoo. They have launched a new feature the new Squid Page Themes that could go along with whatever topic you'll wished to wrote so I was thinking of why not switching all my lenses with it. Voila!

I was paid with the total of $69.34. To my surprised the outcome of the payout decreases of $17.57 compare to the last payout. At last my Easy Homemade Empanada Lens is back at the overall Top 100 despite of a few fall backs I've been through with the issues on ebay seller and losing the amount I previously earned at Squidoo.

I did what I did and I really learned my lesson well.

Now I'm working on making some improvements in Lens Making as an art. It is indeed an art as I notice the personality and the passion of a lensmaster reflects in the collection of his/her lenses. There are days when ideas somehow come up to me it pours every time I needed it and there are days I was just desperately stuck in one topic or two and it feels really useless of continuing it. But as you go along with it, you will discover the enjoyment and fulfillment of accomplishing something.

I know that you know, it just takes an amount of patience. Never, never, never give up!

Enjoy.
Breathe.
Live life to the fullest.

Just got back: An Update

Some of you might wonder what happen to my personal Squidoo blog here. I haven't update since last year. So many things going on ever since the last time I wrote something in it. Most of my time in the daily consumes with the everyday musings here and there online browsing, updating and editing previous 80+ plus lens which on my part pretty much a burden when you have to work on it at the same time everyday.

It was. I started Squidooing about the quarter end of 2007 about the month of August and since that time I've been on and off from writing because I'm easily get bored with the things I do so I tend to pay not much attention with the so-called 'work' I just started.

With the same thought I came across today, I suddenly have the eagerness and the inspiration to come up something new and somehow as a part of self-promotion in one of my many lenses using this blog. I may not be the most experience and lively writer here, I'm really enjoying all my time like a little kid doesn't stop to be amuse of so many incredible things out there. It is indeed learning and knowledge never stops to where you are at. It is something within every person and it just happens that this is the work and the medium that I chose to be part of. Most especially to touch the lives of many people by using this amazing platform to educate because according to the super philosophy "Everyone's An Expert On Something". I tried to believe so.

I will try my best to update everything all about my Squidoo journey and all...

There is nothing as an accident. You are a special combination for a purpose - and don't let them tell you otherwise, even if they tell you that 'purpose is an illusion.'

(Live an illusion if you have to). You are that combination so that you can do what is essential for you to do.

Don't ever believe that you have nothing to contribute. The world is an incredible unfulfilled tapestry.

And only you can fulfill that tiny space that is yours.
