pelf-ism is contagious

A couple of days ago I announced on two blogging forums my decision to sell The Giving Hands. It was a very difficult decision to make because I initially started it to do what I really loved to.

But due to the lack of attention that I’m putting into the blog, I thought perhaps somebody out there could dedicate the time and energy into the blog that I couldn’t. But Mohsin thought otherwise. He doubted that I could find a buyer who is “as passionate as I am, and who is willing to write on a subject that doesn’t pay.”

So I thought, OK, perhaps I should give it another try.

So right now, I am looking for guest bloggers who can commit one post per week to The Giving Hands. As a guest blogger, you may write about anything at all, pertaining to the environment, or charity, or health, or nature. Your posts can be in the form of a blog post, or poem, or an image with some description, or a list of tips, or a list of links. So you see, it is really very flexible.

If you can’t commit to one post per week, what about 2 posts per month? You could send me your write-ups, and I would publish them, with full credits back to you, of course..

However, as a guest blogger, you will not be paid a dime because I can’t afford to pay you. I wished I could, but I can’t However, you could be proud to be doing something that your son/daughter would come across one day many years down the road, and they would be proud that their Mum/Dad championed for the environment/charity.

Please let me know what you think, OK?

Waiting in anticipation..

Seriously, I can’t explain how I’m feeling at the moment, but to say that I’m elated is still the biggest understatement of the month It just feels so darn great to have a big boulder lifted from my shoulders.

Let’s celebrate!

*woot*

It’s Monday today, and I have just realized two things:

• I have only published 2 posts since the last link love post — one in which I complained about the never-ending thesis, and another one in which I ranted about the st*pid woman driver who reversed into my car AND my boyfriend.
• I can actually LIVE without blogging

Seriously, before this, I found it hard to believe whenever a blogger says that s/he is too busy to blog. I thought that if you enjoyed blogging and if you had something to blog about, it wouldn’t be too difficult to squeeze a 200-word post in between your deadlines.

W.R.O.N.G.

Anyway, I was barely breathing today because I was very determined to do as much as I possibly could so that I can put my thesis off my mind for a moment. It has been a little more than 4 months since I have started working on it, and I am beginning to feel like I’ve done it forever.

OK, OK, enough ranting about the thesis, I heard ya!

So now, some link loves!

• littlebro asked whether he should stay at his current job, or whether he should leave and find himself a new one. Go tell him what you think.
• kristarella doesn’t think that top posting makes reading emails easier. What do you think?
• Diana13 will be hosting her first Blog Carnival on Nov 13th, and it’s called “Resources for Bloggers”. It’s only the 12th today, so it isn’t too late to submit a post (you can submit a post written earlier, or you can write a new post)!
• Giddy Tiger shares her proudest moment!
• Have you ever seen an empty airport? Chen shares some pictures.
• So you’ve seen the Eye on Malaysia. Pelfy now shows you some pictures of the Eye on Malacca, LOL.
• yenjai has a reminder for you to switch off your modem or router when lightning strikes!
• So you want to go to Canada? Zhu shows off some pictures of the Canadian skies to tempt you!

Ouh, and one more very important announcement. My cousin, who was born on the same year, same month, same day as I, was engaged yesterday. Congratulations once again, Mrs. Lim!
