Here we have a good example on how we, as a community and as individuals, should spend our holidays. Local city leaders spent the holiday helping the much needful individuals of Orlando. Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer aims to give away free meals. Yes, you heard it right. 25,000 free meals. Mayor Buddy Dyer spearheaded the event together with the help of local individuals who wants to take part and share some compassion this holiday season.

The event is part of the annual celebration of the state. The annual Helpings From the Heart Thanksgiving Feast. Working together are Golden Corral and The Salvation Army Orlando to make this event possible every year. This event is now running successfully for 17 years now. Local individuals participated in the event and made it more meaningful. Local chefs took part in preparing the meals while the volunteers handed out the free meals. Every participant was working together in the aim of helping those in need and giving more meaning to the spirit of the holidays.

Although this does not happen on a monthly, weekly nor on a daily basis, we are still thankful for the wonderful hearts of each individual who took part in this wonderful event.

Thanks giving.

Children's Hospital Patient Gets Surprise Visit from Favorite Author

it is nice to know that there are still some people out there who go out of their way to show a little kindness and make someone’s life a little easier specially in times to hardships and trials. more often than not, people these days only think about themselves. people take charity less more importance not realizing that sometimes, all it takes is just a little show of compassion. we become too busy with our everyday lives, trying to be the achiever. trying to get hold of everything we can, sometimes, even to the extent of stepping into someone else’s lives just to get where we want to be. but not everyone.

what ever the intention of Mr Frank Beddor, what he did is a very good example of sympathy.
being in a hospital for a child can sometimes be a not-so-good experience. it can be traumatizing sometimes too. but thanks to the author of one the books of the series "The Looking Glass Wars", Mr Frank Beddor. he just made the kids’ day and made it a little easy for the kid. i believe this will also help the kid recover at a faster rate. even a little gesture of kindness can change someone else’s lives forever.

finally

after nights of contemplating whether my adsense application would be approved or not, my account was finally approved. not that its something big, but at least its a start as i can track changes and updates from here on.

i have been trying to get it right or at least get it done. but unfortunately, i cant seem to get it done right. i was starting to get frustrated. who wouldn't be? it's a simple application for adsense and i can't get it right. first i had postal address issues. i was using a new email address specifically for this task so i was thinking maybe because it was new. so i did some tinkering with my account and reapplied just to realize i will just get disapproved. so, i tried using my old email. i made sure i complied with the correct address format that they want. then my application was review status after that. then woolah! i just received an email just today stating that my application has been approved.

so i guess the next thing for me is start making contents for this blog. find ways generate more traffic and eventually, start earning a little more online.

blogging

i am starting to get a hang of blogging. not that i did not blog before, its just that now, i am trying to earn while i blog. mind you, i do have a permanent job. and it pays well and i have no complain so far. the reason why i want to earn while i blog is because i have my computer is connected to the web 24/7, 7 days a week. so instead of just leaving my computer connected, why not make the most of it. why not earn. i have read in some forums that some local individuals earn as much $500 to $700 a month through online marketing. now this is most likely not coming from a blog alone. i am pretty sure that individuals manage their own websites. one that is more inclined to online marketing and not just blogging. there are some bloggers who i know of that earn a pretty descent amount each month, around $5 - $10 a day. i say that is not bad.  i am pretty impressesd with that number actually. now having a job is one thing. but earning while doing something you are already doing, that is something else.

i admit i am barely even at 25 percent of the things that i still need to learn about blogging. specifically earning online. there are lots of tips out there on the internet, i just need more patience to read and thoroughly understand each one of them.
