I have always been a lover of Art. My childhood memories are mostly of drawing and doodling in my sketchpads and spending time finishing my coloring books...And that passion I can never forget. EVER.When I was in college, I was thinking of shifting to or taking another degree in Visual Communication or Interior Design. That's how much I love the Arts!

A friend told me the other day she enjoyed browsing the internet in office during break time.It kept me wondering how she could manage doing that with so many distractions that crop up in an office environment. Surfing the internet in office, in my opinion, is not as satisfying as sitting in front of the desktop at home as we would easily get diverted by the countless interruptions caused by co-workers coming in and out of the office.Besides, wouldn’t we keep wondering if someone out there is vigilant in... read more »
Ever wonder if you can really make money writing articles? I've been trying to do just that -- for about nine months now -- mostly freelance writing for the Yahoo! Contributor Network (YCN).

I'm Envious of: At Yahoo! Voices on Friday, the editors announced a brand new "Contributor Spotlight" award and the first winner (not I). The award recognition is certainly nice to receive I'm sure, but the $500 bonus has gotta be the bestest part of it!Though envious I am, it's inspirational too -- like... it's something that I could actually aspire to win someday. The first winner doesn't have a journalism or English degree, hasn't previously worked at or been published in newspapers or magazines. Ju... read more »

A few years ago, I used to post comments a lot on websites like HuffPo, local newspaper articles, and such. I had no idea that people could get paid to post until I noticed other posters bashing the forums "paid trolls". I even asked a few times how a person could get that job.Got no answers.I thought they must be joking... like, get paid for posting comments, really???Ever since then, I've sometimes noticed comments that seem a little too... oh I dunno, either a little too polished or too enthusiastic o... read more »
