I was so busy yesterday that I forgot to create a post for this blog. Really, as in. I received notifications for 2 interviews over at oDesk yesterday and I wasn't counting such a quick turnaround time for one of the potential clients. She just asked if I knew how to set up a blog at Wordpress and when I said yes, she hired me right away. Thanks for the blessing God!☺

The other client required me to turn in an article about "chili peppers", sort of a test article. I worked on that after setting up the 2 WP blogs and this morning, the client contacted me through IM and asked if I can start work tomorrow. Oh wow and the great thing about this other client is that he told me he might require me to set up a small team in the future so we can all work for him. Hmm. Sounds promising and this early, I already have my mind set on a few blogger friends who fit the bill.☺ So please pray with me on this one.☺

Anyhoot, I just stopped by for a quick hello. I am currently working on some articles for my other client and I need to turn them in before the end of this day.

Have a pleasant weekend everyone!☺

I logged in to my favorite social networking site and I was busy browsing through the different pages when I chanced upon the profile page of one of my high school classmates. He’s now living in Madrid, Spain and is working as a graphic artist. Even when we were still in high school, he was the go-to guy when our class needed visual aids and stuff because he had good hands. Anyway, I was surprised to see some of his present works because they were great! I asked him if he has a lot of clients and he told me that most of his clients are friends. Outside of them, the rest of his clients are all referrals; either a friend of a friend or a relative of a friend. I told him to start giving out his artist business cards to people whether they are existing clients of him o not. I told him that his business card must at least showcase a glimpse of some of his works so that people would have a general idea about what he does and how good he is at it. I saw a photographer’s business card displayed online and although he didn’t say outright that he was a photographer, his business card which was laden with different types of cameras said it all and that was what I advised to my friend. Hopefully, he’ll take the hint and do the same.

I long for the warmth

of my lover's embrace,

that tingling feeling

each time I touch his face.

The feel of his warm

skin right next to mine,

his smile that assures

me everything will be fine.

I long for the warmth

of his gentle caress,

his lips on mine...

Oh! Sheer sweetness!

Words of love

so softly spoken.

Promises uttered,

never to be broken.

I long for my lover

night and day.

Though distance separates us

our love will find a way.

When the clouds above

have no silver lining,

our love for each other

will come through shining.
