I'll be taking a 2 weeks break from my blog starting from tomorrow. This time-off is much needed as I have to straighten out some personal and business issues but I'll definitely be back once everything is A-Oke. It ain't anything serious or heart wrenching so don't worry. My life is good and I'm happy but I just need some time to clear my mind and get back on track with things I've let loose for quite some time.

Set those aside, I'll be taking a road trip down to Oregon to visit my ChinkBro for Chinese New Year. Haven't been on a trip in a long time so I'm really really hyped. Gotta finish all the task on my list before I can go anywhere. Happy Chinese New Year everyone! Peace!

I've finally found time to personalize my blog's header.

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:
