    I also noticed this sort of tactic from here (either super delayed approval or less paid articles) once the end of the month is near. It is kind of disheartening but there’s nothing we can do about it. Well, of course, apart from stopping to write in case we really don’t like the way it’s been going on.

    My personal opinion on how to earn $1 daily here is by writing Β at least 4 “quality” 500-word articles every day. Aim to hit the $0.22 mark for each article so that writing 4 articles will bring you closer to your daily target of $1.

    • Wow! I love it! My favorite!It’s mouth watering foods!

      • Oh yeah, definitely! We just finished all the grilled meat pieces yesterday and my husband is already asking when I’ll cook it next πŸ™‚ I guess we all LOVE grilled meat in general.

    • This looks and sounds great. Can we support each other?

    • I am trying to follow you but I do not see that option.

      • Thanks for the feedback πŸ™‚ I think there’s an option to add me as a friend. But I am not sure whether that will give you updates on my posts or something similar.

    • Thanks for the feedback! πŸ™‚ Yeah, it was one of those moments when I used the wooden chopping board our friend gave us. Oh, I used to enjoy it as a side dish when I was in Manila, too. But green mangoes are scarce over here. Or if it was available, it’s going to be too expensive!

    I buy hair dye for home use not for myself, but for my husband. He uses it to get rid of his gray hair. Lucky for me, I don’t color my hair for this reason (not yet). I used to buy from here for realized that it […]

    • I had red hair that I previously dyed back into black but the color was wearing off, so you could see red-ish and blonde-ish hair. I decided to make it even by doing a new coloration.

      I picked Sand Brown color by MISSHA, a brown color that could go ash depending of your hair color. To be honest, this is part of my hair project, I want to lighten my hair color little by little then bleach it. We all know that it’s hard to bleach black hair, so maybe this process would make it easier.

      like how Korean and Japanese do that, you know, giving you the full set.
      (cuz French don’t do that, they just throw a pair of gloves and I know that my friends and I used to look for a bag, cut a hole to use that as protection sheet to cover ourself

      Even though the coverage is not really perfect, I really like using korena hair coloring because it doesn’t damage your hair, and the product doesn’t smell like dead rat (because, trust me, I’ve tried products that make your eyes sting, cry and smelling like dead rat… very unpleasant).

    Adobo is a popular dish in the Philippines. It is so popular that even if some of us may have relocated abroad, knowing how to cook this dish (Mom’s version) is a sure fire way to cure homesickness. Similar to any […]

    • I did not become familiar with adobo until I moved to Texas. It’s an ingredient in Mexican recipes. I see it’s used in the Philippines as well. Adobo or not, I love most recipes with spinach. This one sounds delish! πŸ™‚

      • Thanks for the comment! Actually, adobo is a type of dish – not really an ingredient. Basically, when we say that the dish is adobo, it means that it is cooked in soy sauce and vinegar πŸ™‚ I have heard that there is also a Mexican “adobo” – I wouldn’t be surprised as our cuisine is very much derived from different cultures, but haven’t tried it (or seen it) yet.

    • We have lots of things in the country The Philippines, that are cooked like the adobo. Vegetables are so abundantly growing everywhere in the country. We have a specified several meters lot in the school planted with vegetables of different names. Eggplants for examples are good to be cooked in adobo style. The okra is also best for adobo. But Kangkong, water-grown or upland grown, is one of my favorites especially when it is cooked like the adobo.

      Kangkong or kangkung, the so-called river spinach, is a good source of proteins, vitamins, minerals. It is grown in various Asian countries like Thailand, Burma, Indonesia, Cambodia, Laos, Bangladesh, India, Bengal, and of course in our country, the Philippines.

      Cooking Kangkong adobo is easy. You could make your own recipe. There are a lot of way of cooking this river spinach veggie. Let’s have a good viand with this recipe. Happy eating.

      • Hmm, that’s interesting. I haven’t tried cooking the eggplant adobo-style so now I am intrigued to give it a try! The okra, I usually cook it steamed (or boiled) then dipped in shrimp paste and vinegar condiment for added flavour – yum! Those were the simple dishes I miss back home so there are times that I try to cook them here.

    • Cuticles are a part of your skin. They protect your nail matrix, the portion of the nail that grows, from infection. Cutting your cuticles leaves your nail matrix open to infections.

      It can also cause deformities in the nail, such as ridges and discoloration. Instead of cutting your cuticles, push them back to give your nail an oval appearance. It also makes it easier to create a neat polish line.
      Use a cuticle pusher to carefully push the cuticle back towards your nail bed.
      Push in the sides of the cuticle as well.
      Remove any dry or damaged skin.
      Repeat on the rest of your nails.

      After exfoliating your hands, it is important to rehydrate and moisturize your soft skin. Select a thick and luxurious hand cream or lotion. Massage this cream or lotion into your hands

      If left on your nails, the oils from your hand cream or lotion will shorten the life of your polish. You can remove these oils from your fingernails with rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab or ball.
      Place a cotton swab or ball over the opening of the rubbing alcohol bottle.
      Tip the bottle upside down and wait a moment for the cotton swab or ball to become saturated with the rubbing alcohol. Place the bottom of the bottle on a flat surface.
      Swipe the rubbing alcohol saturated cotton swab or ball over your nails to remove the oil.
      Repeat as needed

    The leaves are starting to turn into its autumn colors and fall to the ground. Wait – what? Autumn is starting?! Gosh, it is really EARLY for that, isn’t it? It is just August and it is SUPPOSED to be summer […]

    • Here are the five benefits of using a face mask:
      Refines skin pores: Face mask can help you to get clearer skin and more refined pores. It deep cleanses the pores and clears the pores of dead skin cells, metabolic wastes and the oily substances that can clog them.

      Increases hydration: Face mask can also bring moisture and hydration to dry and dehydrated skin types. The water from the mask penetrates deep into the skin epidermis to soften the skin and enhance its elasticity. When the skin is hydrated and well moisturized, it becomes easy to apply proper makeup. Also it gives a more plump and youthful appearance to the skin.

      Diminishes fine lines: Regular use of face masks can reduce the signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles, and brown spots and so on. Also you will get to enjoy a softer and smoother skin texture.

      Gives even skin tone: Face masks are also designed to diminish hyper-pigmentation and give you more even skin tone and texture. It also promotes the sweat gland secretion so as to increase the oxygen content of the skin.

      Firmer skin: Loose skin can make your look older than your age. The problem of loose skin can be easily solved with regular use of face masks. There are certain types of face masks that help to enhance collagen production and fight off free radical damage which will gradually result in firmer, tighter, fresher looking skin.

    • What I came to know is that there are some sites which are living by selling the domain . I think you will not receive any second opportunity to write. This is over. Be happy with what you got. Just now I visited the site. The Articles are good. I do not know how much effort they had made. Really sad ..why the writers are being exploited both physically, mentally, and financial.
      It is nothing but purchasing a trouble with our hard earned money.

    • The site you are telling the readers is the that sells domain name to earn money I also visited the site and read the articles were all good and I think the writer means to join the site but sivasubrahmanyam has rightly said that the writers are being exploited mentally and financially.

    • To travel is very important because they is a part of education like travel but in don’t travel for traveling sake, is better not to travel and than to travel and risk your life, when you want to travel you have to make a good budget of money because travel requires money a lots, it is a risk to budget little and plan to
      travel Distance, travel when you went with money you it be came sweet but without money is embrass and shameful, mean while you will not be comfortable in your movement.

      Finally, the moral of the story remains that it is good to go out of our way and take some good calculated risks.

    • Why did you stop? Why not hit us with the rest of the info here.

      You know getting some first hand testimonial from people who have tried things first has a great way of motivating someone into doing the right thing.

      • argh! As I was saying, I had the entire testimonial series submitted but it is taking some time to get approved. I see you have read the second part which contained the payment proof but I am still waiting o. the third part to cap it off (ie why you should consider it for yourself). I don’t get anything by telling this but there has been doubts on the site especially because there is the ‘catch’ with the paid domain but I hope that online earners would re-consider since it really pays anyway.

    • I think this site is for serious Travel bloggers who are not blogging to get pennies apart from the Pounds.

      • Probably it is since there is a sort of “investment” when you buy a domain. But judging from some of the articles submitted on the site, they really do accept all proficiency and command of the English language. So even if you are not overly confident on your English, you can earn from the first article. πŸ™‚

      • Oh, I think I tried that version before, too! πŸ™‚ I also cook pork mince in oyster sauce and add spring onions and mushrooms but I use just the regular button mushrooms as it is the cheapest option here. Asian vegetables often cost twice in comparison to locally produced vegetables. Well it makes sense anyway. Probably to cover for taxes and importation costs.

    • Yeah it is super easy to cook. I think it literally took me 45 minutes (including prep time) to finish the entire dish! It took me a lot longer to chop the vegetables in tiny cubes, LOL!
