Original Blog Content

Sep 12, 2007 Author: Emily | Filed under: Blogging

As a blogger who writes more than twenty blog posts, sponsored and unsponsored, a day on average on a good day, I sometimes feel my mind going numb just thinking of what to write in my next post, trying to keep it at 50:50 with sponsored and unsponsored content at the very least. It is not easy but it has to be done.

I wonder how other semi-probloggers like me can think of so many topics to share daily, consistently. It is especially difficult when the blog is a niche blog and it’s the blogger’s responsibility to keep the posts on topic.

One thing I like about blogging here is that the only rules to follow are my own. I don’t need to worry about what others may think, if a post has a link or not, is it paid or not, is it too long or too short or not personable enough? Did I manage to work the link in sensibly, am I being true to myself, is this post relevant to my blog, what does the advertiser think? What about the sequence that my posts are being published? Am I publishing too many posts throughout the day that causes sponsored posts to be pushed down the page? I always feel guilty about this but hey, I’ve got a living to make, you know?

Dang…that’s a whole list of things to worry about when you are blogging for pay! Don’t you feel old and tired just REMEMBERING the rules?

Who Remembers ‘Game & Watch’?

Sep 11, 2007 Author: Emily | Filed under: Personal

Last night, I was checking out some online games sites when I came upon one old school game site, with games that I remember playing when Atari was a sign of affluence. On this site, there are a handful of virtual Game & Watch games. Who else here is old enough to remember Game & Watch?

I remember when I was young, my uncle travelled out of the country a lot in the course of work and he used to buy Game & Watch and sent to us and in the accompanying letter would be something like, “Study hard.” Isn’t that ironic?

The Octopus Game & Watch that I had was one of my prized possessions. You say sad life or not? LOL The graphics was only like 1D digital image and the sound was only tit….tit…..tit…..tit….. and the cue to be all kancheong during game play is when the tit tit tit becomes faster. But that fascinated all the kids, I guess.

I wonder if this Game and Watch that I had is still around, it should be somewhere. Not sure if I can get it to work still. Does anyone know if the company is still around?

Sep 10, 2007 Author: Emily | Filed under: Blogging

OMG! Last night, I was so sleepy that I just shut off my computer and like a zombie, went to bed. I was suddenly startled awake at 4am and went, “Aiyak! My blog!” I was supposed to update it daily mah and here I was, totally forgetting it. How could I? LOL I even wanted to switch on my computer to publish a post then I thought, “Aiya, forget about it lah” and promptly fell asleep again haha!

Anyway, just now I finger itchy and went to check the website “Who Links To Me” and got a shock that this blog is a Page Rank 2. So fast meh?? Then I went to check with my Google Toolbar on Firefox and it is still a BIG FAT ZERO. Yerrr Who Links To Me bluff wan :-(
