I don't know about you, but the click-clacking sound of me typing furiously on my keyboard, word after word, phrase after phrase and sentence after sentence is kind of sedative and keeps me addicted to blogging. The sheer excitement of receiving comments (good or bad) and replying them just heightens my addiction ecstatically. Most importantly having the freedom to write about my thoughts freely is really what keeps me going. Lately I've found yet another reason that drives me to blog more actively, SocialSpark. The review of SocialSpark on Perky's blog triggers my interest to find out more about it. After some googling and poking around the search engine, I find SocialSpark to be quite amusing and thus decided to get my hands dirty on it and finding myself hooked!


SocialSpark is the creative new baby of IZEA (those of you who has come across PayPerPost, Zookoda, Bloggers Choice Awards and RockStartup might be familiar with the name, IZEA). The craze of social networking is now taken up one notch by SocialSpark with the infusion of the marketing element. Besides allowing bloggers to build networks, it now allows the intuitive interactions between bloggers and advertisers. Bloggers-advertisers relationship brought closer. Isn't this refreshing?

(elaborated details on an opportunity)
What appeals to me most is the abundance of opportunities on SocialSpark. It provides me with lots of ideas and materials to write about. Selecting and streamlining opportunities in the marketplace is a breeze. You can tell instantly whether an opportunity is open and if you're qualified to write about it. With a click of mouse, you'll get an elaborated details and guidelines on writing about the opportunity. Besides that, there's a section called Spark which is basically a pool of ideas for bloggers who are drained out of ideas. This comes in handy for me from time to time when I have a major brain-clog.

(detailed demographic of blog's traffic)
Another interesting feature of SocialSpark has to be the detailed demographic of your blog's traffic. It displays the statistic of the traffic to your blog by country, shows the top referrers and top outgoing links and even the breakdown of your readers' gender. Simply amazing huh?

Oh, if you're good at what you do, you get paid additional bonuses each month but of course you got to be one of the BEST. That said, it still does give you more motivation to write better, doesn't it? Just be sure to be true in what you do and go by the SocialSpark Code Of Ethnics:

Today I read the most beautifully written post it made me cry. It was written by MoofMoof. It's his first post in his first blog. It definitely isn't a bias opinion. It was written so sincerely it truly reflects his reflections. I'm so touched, I'm utterly speechless...

Have you ever had someone saying to you, "I don't know how to tell him/her but I really don't think it's gonna work out between me and him/her anymore. Is there a way I can tell him/her without hurting him/her?".

Dear lord, every time someone pops that question, I am so ever tempted to pull my baseball bat out of the secret compartment from my evil head and swing it right at his/her face and scream at his/her face; "What are you dumb or retarded?! What kinda fxckshit question are you asking?". Seriously there is no where in hell that you'll find a way to break up with someone without hurting them. Only way to not hurt them is suck whatever misery you have in the relationship out of your dumb brain and chuck it up your ass and hold his/her hands and pretend everything is peachy perfect. Yes, you're dumb the minute that question pops into your head and you're just about to spill it right out in your bestie's face.

That being said, I do not think all breakups have to be bad or ugly up to the point where you can't even be distant friends. Of course it's gonna hurt no matter how you lay it out but at least bring out some honesty and tell him/her how you really feel. Don't be fake in whatever you do. Try to break it off honestly and maturely so both of you can move on with your life until someone better suited comes along. If he/she has questions, do answer them fairly without engaging in any form of blame-finding game. Oftentimes there are faults in both sides that wrecks the relationship. Just remember to be kind and compassionate. The sooner you do it, the sooner he or she can heal and move on with their life. Good luck to those of you who are plotting a breakup plan. *I'm no professor in the game of love. In all the trips and rides of my life, I took some wrong turns and lost my way. I found my way back but I cannot be certain that I'll never get lost. However, lessons will be learned and life shall move on.*

To those of you jerks out there who are too much of a chicken to do it yourself and hoping silently that he/she will hit the road, and fast. You can now hope out loud. Here's a couple of tips I gather from magazines and websites (well I tweak them a little and I sprinkled some of my dark evil spices into the soon-to-be-breakup potion for more intense flavor) that you might consider useful:

1. When you're taking a crap or a leak, purposely leave the door open and Work It Baby! Do it like you mean it! Make a good show out of it and make sure he/she hears them good.
2. Pee repeatedly on the seat and do not flush - it usually only works if you're a guy
3. Pick your nose on a date and proceed with feeding him/her that prawn you peel specially for.
4. Tell your partner that he/she reminds you of your high school sweetheart. Do not forget to throw in some juicy details that what they both have in common throws you off your chair and turns you on in rocket time.
5. Ask her to get a breast enlargement or ask him to get a dick enlargement.

Those are my top 5 favorites and I kinda think it might actually work if you really wanna try it out but I truly do not recommend it unless you're really out of choices. They are purely just for laughs. Hope you guys enjoy it.

The little baby girl, dressed in a white sleeveless top, a white little shorts, flashing her bright innocent smile and her tiny little hands reaching out excitedly, sitting in between her proud parents. She's their little angel sent from heaven. She's their pride, their first-born, their hope, who shall realize the dream they never had a chance to make come true. They took care of her with much love and commitment, giving her the best they could provide. Buying her the most expensive dresses they can afford even if it meant no new clothes for them. Always providing her with the best quality healthy food they can find even when it comes to junkies. No chick-a-dees for her, it's bad for her. She must have good quality junkies. She is their precious little girl after all. She loves to snuggle close to her mommy and daddy especially daddy and make them play with her. She loves to sleep between them in the middle of the night. That way she feels safe and away from the scary monsters that in reality only lurks around in nightmare.

But the girl was not strong enough. She's always sick, always down with high fever and stomach flu. That makes mommy and daddy worry all the time. Every time they see their little baby girl lying frailly on her bed, it pains them so much tears well up in their eyes. When the girl was crying with pain, they wish they could take the pain onto themselves and make hers go away. They take turn to stay up at night to make sure little baby girl is fine and gets her medicine on time and pray for her to get better soon. Mommy and daddy always check on her and tug her in her blankie so she doesn't get a cold.

They love her so much they bring her along wherever they go. Although they were not well-off, they try to save up as much as they could of their meager income just so they can bring her out of country on a vacation. Furthest they've gone is to Bangkok. It was a bumpy 12 hours long train ride. Daddy had to sleep on the upper bunk where his head was found bruised the next morning from the endless bumping on the train wall. Nevertheless it was a very happy and memorable trip for the 3 of them.

From all the love and care they gave her, she grows really fast, day after day, years after years. Soon she's grown into a strong active teenage girl. Now she pains them more. Not because she's ill again but because she has transform into a little monster from her little angel form. Now she thinks their love is a prison, their words an awful song, their advices full of bullshits and their everything are just painstakingly annoying. She resent everything they say or do. She goes against everything that they say or warn. She secretly skip school, secretly goes to party and she secretly dates a guy and secretly bring him to her house when they are not around. Secretly had her first kiss with her first boyfriend and secretly break it off without them knowing he ever existed. She threatened them by running away from home. Cause so much pain that her father cried out loud for the first time in fear of losing her daughter forever. That was the first time she made him cried so hard.

Then a few years later, despite all her spitefulness and playfulness she manage to graduate from high school and was accepted into the national University which had her parents brimming with pride every time they tell someone about it. But those grad school years was not smooth sailing. She left a good boy for some jackass whom she thought was an angel at the time. This time around she caused her mommy and daddy to cry real hard for the second time because her stupid decisions nearly caused her life following the worse breakup ever in her life. She refused to eat, to go out, she just stays at home and do nothing all the time. Whenever they look into her eyes, the lights grew dimmer and dimmer. She no longer cry, she no longer speak, she just sits and stare. The sight of her sitting lifelessly staring into blank space brought a tremendous pain and sadness in their heart. They drop everything at hand, rushed over to hug her, to tell her that everything is going to be alright, that no matter what happen they will always be the one who will support her and love her and care for her. Even when everyone has left her, they will not, for her, they will always be around. That little gesture finally brought tears into her eyes again. They were gushing out freely. A sense of warmth and hope embraced her and once again she can feel safe cause no matter what, she knows her family will always be there to back her up. With their support, she managed to go back to school and graduate remarkably.

Now the girl is a grown woman. She has a lot to thank her wonderful parents for. For giving her a wonderful life, for teaching her life lessons she'll never get to learn elsewhere, for teaching her to love, to respect and to care for people all around. Most of all she wants to thank her mommy and daddy for loving her all her life and for not giving up on her when she was clearly a pain in the ass. It is now time for her to move on into a new chapter of her life, to leave home, to travel thousands of miles away to be with her one true love, to start her own family and to someday pass down to her children what her great parents had taught her. Here she sits with tears brimming in her eyes looking into the picture of the little baby girl with her white sleeveless top and white shorts sitting in between her mommy and daddy who were smiling proudly into the camera. She will truly miss them, miss all those wonderful years that they had together. She will miss talking to them, miss them nagging her all the time, miss arguing with them and most of all she simply miss spending time with them. What more can she ask, they were the most wonderful gift that is bestow on her.

"Daddy, mommy, thanks for everything you've given me. Sorry for all the pain I've caused you time after time and thank you for forgiving me each and every time. I love you very much and I will always miss you both."

First of all, thousands of apologies for not having updated my bloggie for centuries. Been real busy collecting various documents for my visa application which fortunately and with much reliefs are finally almost done.

Anyway, I was down in Kay-EL last Thursday to collect my final piece of paper. My stay there extended for another 3 days for the sole purpose of blowing a humongous hole in my savings to the point of having to squeeze every last bit of the juices left in my savings.
