I Signed Up at Social Spark!

Finally, SocialSpark is here! It has been a while since I started internet blogging. I can really say that I enjoyed every bit of it. I think, it has been a part of my everyday life. I first joined PayPerPost for a money-making opportunity. A good friend of mine introduced me to another website where I can still grab the chance to get other opportunities from other sources, the SocialSpark!

Two months ago, I started internet blogging and I found myself hooked to this craze around the world. At first, when I submitted my blog to SocialSpark, I was not approved. I got an e-mail from them telling me that they are unable to approve my blog. I have mixed emotions then. I don't know what I did for them not to approve my blog. I was really devastated and frustrated. Of course, I am so sad too. I even deactivated my account with them. So, I asked help from my friends who's been a member of SocialSpark. I was carefully listening and very meticulous getting idea, clues and even put them in writing so I will not forget every bit of it. Then submitted my blog for the second time.

I waited for another month and made my blog creative and created labels for easy-to-access on my blog. I even changed the setting of my blog because it is not being indexed by search engines. I didn't lose hope the second time they were unable to approved my blog. I made the possible changes, I am still positive of being approved someday. I knew in my mind and heart I will get their approval for the third time I am going to submit my blog at SocialSpark. I knew I will get the victory I have been wanting because I know in myself that I really want this - Be a proud member of SocialSpark!

The Big Day!

It's the 4th of July! This is really a memorable date for me. As you all know, I came here in the United States on the day of Independence Day. It was an astonishing feeling! There were mixed emotions inside of me. I was carefully observing every bit of the place, the people and the things around me. My port of entry was St. Paul-Minneapolis in Minnesota. I was feeling excited to quickly passed the immigration and rushed myself immediately to the breeze outside the international airport.

We actually didn't use our last plane ticket from St. Paul-Minneapolis, Minnesota bound to Detroit, Michigan. We rented a car to drive all the way going home to Kentucky. From Minnesota-Wisconsin-Illinois-Indiana and Kentucky. So for the first 2 days of my stay here in the United States, I have been to 5 states already. What an amazing experience! As we were driving going home, there were lot of things that surprised me. But there's only one thing that will proved that I am indeed in US of A. The first car I saw when I got out from the airport was a convertible car!

As the days go by, I am learning so many things in this big country. I have seen many places in my first year living here and met a lot of good people in different races. I have met the family of my husband and met some "kababayan" too. Now, that this is my first anniversary here, I would surely enjoy it, live it and savor everything. For sure, there are more things to discover than seeing and hearing things in the media. For now, I would say, let's celebrate the wonders of the earth!

Happy 4th of July everyone!

Minnesota, Here We Come!

This will be our 3rd time to visit the state of Minnesota. I am hoping to celebrate the Independence Day on July 4 and it is also my anniversary living here in United States. You see, I came here last July 4, 2007 and my port of entry was St. Paul-Minneapolis, Minnesota. Now, I am going back to Minnesota again for the 3rd time. I am sure it will be a lot of fun because we will be celebrating Independence Day and my anniversary in the same state where I first landed.

I will bring all my luck and good memories with me while celebrating my anniversary in Minnesota. I am pretty sure that we will have fun and enjoy every bit of it. I am already thinking what would it be to celebrate Independence Day here in United States as well as celebrating my anniversary living here. Whatever it is, I will savor every moment and definitely will have more fun.

Moving On!

After spending 3 days and 2 nights in the state of North Dakota, we are moving on again! My husband seems he never runs out of energy in driving. He likes to drive and go anywhere he would like and of course bring me anywhere. He was kind enough to bring me anywhere of the big country of United States. It will be few states on the list and I am about to complete visiting the 50 states of America. How cool is that?

It is good that we have a little camper with us going around every state. At least, in that way, we can save paying big bucks in a nice hotel just to sleep, take a good bath and eat free breakfast. It makes me think, we have a house with us in the road that is moving anywhere we want to go. How I wish the gas prices will come down to its "normal" price. I mean, that everybody could afford including those who who are living paycheck to paycheck.

As for me and my husband, we should enjoy our summer trip together before anything goes up and we can't afford it someday. Hopefully, the next President of the United States will do something about it. Don't make it hard for the people, instead make the people happy.

Exploring North Dakota

This time, we are about to discover the legendary North Dakota. I have been to North Dakota last fall and did my little shopping at Grand Forks. We also went to visit Fargo, the largest city of the state for sight-seeing. It was windy at that time and you can barely see any trees in the area because they said that Paul Bunyan must have cut all the trees from North Dakota. The state was a plain field rich in agriculture products. In the western area of the state, there are also some rocky hills and few trees around it.We passed the city of Bismarck, the state capital of North Dakota. We went around downtown for a little while and stopped in the city of Jamestown where we looked for a campground to retire from a very long drive. We stayed for about 3 days and 2 nights in Jamestown. Enjoyed everything in the town and in the campground. It was really indeed a nice place to be during summer time. The weather is cool, not really hot and the only problem is the mosquitoes attack. Better bring off spray or some lotion to protect the skin from the mosquito bite.

There are lot of things to discover in the state of North Dakota. The state has a lot of things to offer if you are just ready to explore it.I know, someday, next summer time, I am going to visit North Dakota again.
