Site Spotlight: Exposix

I feel like I’ve just crawled out of some cave. Lol. You I frequently get this feeling whenever I focus on something and not get myself update with what’s going on. I’ve been experimenting with building some other websites (yes! not blogs this time) and also dabbling on digital scrapbooking on my free time that I was seriously out of touch with what’s going on, what’s the news, what’s the latest. I guess I have a lot to keep up on.

Now that I’m out of the ‘cave’ for awhile I took the time out to check out new websites, new startup ideas. And frankly I got overwhelmed. It seems like the net is sprouting new things on a millisecond rate and its hard to keep up. One thing I have noticed aside from social networking still being pretty much ruling every body else’s life, another popular web idea is the Q & A sharing type of site. One very promising site on this category is Exposix.com, with a very catchy slogan, “share anything, expose everything’. Now wouldn’t that catch everyone’s interest?

Exposix is a Questions and Answers kind of website, think like Yahoo Answers, Ask.com, Aardvark etc. A site where you can ask and answer questions all for free. It’s pretty interesting and I signed up to see what goes on in it. What makes Exposix a bit different is their Debates. I love this little feature where you can raise a question or issue and get everybody else’s opinion on it. It’s a great way to interact with others and also know the ‘pulse’ of regular folks.

Take for instance there is a debate topic there related to Parenting and how one feels about ‘Spanking’ as form of discipline. A great way to learn and get the opinions of other parents out there right? Another debate topic raised was ‘Pirated vs. Original’. Or Will Internet be Obsolete in 10 to 15 years? Everybody can chime in their opinion. It’s like your chance to be heard too. For me, opinions and thoughts of regular folks is important, and I think should be heard, not just those of so called gurus. Sites like these get you answers from people who have actually experienced it.

Sure, there might be ‘troll’ answers too but that kinda makes it more interesting too. Lol. Exposix is pretty easy on the eyes too and can be navigated without much fuss. And that I think makes a really good, functional and winning website. Together with its content of course. Anyhow, if you’ve got a question, an answer, anything you wanna share or you simply wanna engage in fruitful debate about things that matter to you, then check out Exposix.com.

Random New Year Ramblings

Lui — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 02:23:02 +0000

Ha! It’s already the 5th day of the first month of 2012 and here I am just greeting everyone a Happy New Year! But then…were still on the first week, right? So I’m sure its ok. Hahaha. As much as I love blogging, I have more important priorities. I’ve been beat and tired so I figured I needed a few days rest from being ‘online’. It was a good call coz now I feel energized, motivated and ready to give blogging for 2012 a big go!

I have tons of plans. And I think its high time I move to other things aside from blogging. I manage multiple blogs, mostly personal blogs with niche topics like fashion and beauty (where I write about fashion finds, things I find pretty etc). I also have a thrift shopping blog, a ‘mom blog’, and a few more. And of course this one, my personal-lifestyle-living in Cambodia blog. And these blogs had been a great journey and a fabulous past time for me (not to mention the shopping money it earns me lol!) and I’ll carry on updating them.

But I’ll be implementing a teeny weeny bit of change here. I’m adding in some recommended products you guys might be interested in. I know I already have a few ads scattered on the blog, but I’m hoping this would make a good addition and would add some more value to each posting. You’ll be seeing ‘featured products’ at the bottom of each post. At least it could help me earn my hosting and domain fees.

I’m also doing a category clean-up on this site. It’s driving me nuts that a few years of disorganized posting habit made this site an almost mess. I need to streamline my categories and re-organize the posts, so if you see something weird around here in the next few days, please bear with me. I intend to come up with a better looking Pinaywifespeaks.

Since its a new year, I’ve decided to pursue another ‘project’. This time I’ll be building niche websites and experimenting with it, trying out different monetizing strategies. Hmm, its going to be a trial and error project, I know the big probability of me failing but I also know its gonna keep me occupied and I’m really really excited since I know this time I’ll be learning more. But whatever the outcome, I don’t intend to quit until I discover what works for me.

Hmm, see I’m pretty much motivated. I must have eaten something really good during the New Years. Lol. Have a great weekend everyone!

1st Blog Giveaway Winners!

Lui — Tue, 03 May 2011 01:57:11 +0000

Yay! Running a blog giveaway is exhausting but rewarding. A million thanks to all those who joined. A special mention to those who helped spread the word and helped me out. I was expecting a few entries, I figured maybe 50 entries would be nice but I had hundreds! I spent the day yesterday, counting entries and making sure all entries have been counted.

Then I assigned a random.org generated integer for each entry. Yes, each single entry. I’m a bit OC so I really typed down each entry and assigned an random number to each.

random integers running on randomizer to get winners...

I don’t want to be accused of rigging my own contest so these random integers were further randomized to come up with top 3 winners.

...and we have winners! #17,#114, #194.

1st prize – #17 is Lourdes.

2nd prize – #114 – Lyudmila.

3rd prize – #194 – Rea Yu.
Congratulations! I’ve emailed all of you already. Please just email me back your delivery addresses so I could mail the prizes. Again, thanks for joining and hopefully we could do this more regularly.

No Fluke. I Really Won!

Lui — Fri, 29 Apr 2011 03:02:07 +0000

A month or two ago, I was ‘web wandering’ searching for air fare promos, hotel promos and cards direct when I stumbled across something mentioning Koolred, an Asia-based travel social networking site. I guess I was caught with the cool name. I love the concept of being able to connect with people with similar interests and browsing Koolred’s shared travel stories, photos is just wonderful. It’s like being able to travel without leaving your desk. They also hold contests regularly and last time they were running the Asian Food Review Contest.

Since I love to write-blog and eat, why not join? I submitted three short food reviews. I was not really expecting to place and have forgotten about the contest until I got an email a few weeks ago. The KoolRed team said I won! Wow! I just couldn’t believe that my Khmer Food @ Trasak Paem actually won, among hundreds of entries! Lolz! I truly love this little Phnom Penh restaurant and Khmer cuisine and I guess it showed in the review. And they said I won a two night stay for two persons at a luxury hotel in Bali – Alila Manggis.

I wasn’t about to believe the prize, that I actually won, till I actually had the proof. Lol. Sorry I’m just OC like that. Anyway, last April 13, something came by mail. People from Air Asia and KoolRed are really fast. I really have the voucher. Which also includes some discounts on the hotel services!

Yay! I guess this is exciting. My first time to actually win something. {Not counting the times I joined binggo games in our town when I was a kid..} I was actually wanting to get the hotel stay in Bangkok prize but hey! I haven’t been to Bali and this would be the best excuse to go..

When will I go? I have yet to decide and plan. I have a lot to do this year, and towards the end of the year, I’ll be going to Manila and Bicol again, so maybe early next year. Before the voucher expires hahaha! To KoolRed and Alila Hotels, a big thanks.

Overwhelmingly Grateful

Lui — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 01:16:38 +0000

That’s me. I’m referring to my 1st Blog Giveaway. I wasn’t really expecting a lot of people to join. I mean, I pegged having something like 50 entries but just a few days after opening the giveaway the entries has been piling up. I can’t even begin to say thank you for taking the time to join. The giveaway is open till April 30 so earn more entries for a bigger chance to grab the freebies.

This is a great way for me to extend the reach of this blog, to connect with people and also to showcase some Khmer products. Also, I love it that the prizes have attracted a lot of craftsy persons to join. Some tell me they were attracted to the unique Khmer fabrics. As I’ve mentioned in the giveaway post, I’ll be adding 2 consolation prizes of scarves, hehe not uniforms, just so you know. I think the ladies have a thing for these and the ones from here are undeniably beautiful.

And to top it all, running a giveaway is FUN! Yes, it is. I think I’m getting triple benefits from these. So this will probably be a regular feature in this blog. Perhaps every two months. Also, next blog I’ll be hosting a giveaway on is my thrifting and shopping blog – Girl on a Thrift Hunt. There I’ll be giving out a variety of stuff. Hmm, tops and dresses are in the offing. Well, since I’m so into shopping I’m looking at some really fashionable giveaways.

For the first batch though I’ll be giving out some knick knacks – check out the Be Happy – Girl on A Thrift Hunt Giveaway preview. The prizes has been ordered already and is currently being shipped and I’m pretty much excited to have a look. I’ll probably open the giveaway on May. Stay tuned.

What To Giveaway?

Lui — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 01:08:14 +0000

I was in a ‘take-a-breather’ and have a look at what I’ve done with blogging mood last week. I was busy making a blog master list, blog posting schedule and doing that made me realize from one blog hosted in Blogger, my online endeavors have mushroomed into something big, well its big at least for me. I’m a one-woman show you know, I don’t have writers on my payroll hahaha so having more than 10 blogs is big.

How do I keep up with it? By being organized and picking only topics that I have real interest in. I have learned early on that I always end up abandoning blogs when the topics are not of interest to me, so I stick to stuff close to my heart. Also, from something that I considered a hobby, blogging is now earning me a decent side income! An added motivator .

I’ve been blogging for close to five years already and this blog is running towards its 4th year, and I figured its about time I give something back to my precious few readers. I’ve been thinking of running regular giveaways on my blogs. Since this blog is all about living as an expat in Phnom Penh and exploring Cambodian culture, then its just a cool idea if I giveaway stuff uniquely Khmer and other items made in Cambodia. What do you think?

I still have to think about the mechanics etc, so I’ll be posting the details soon. I’ll also be running giveaways on my other blogs GirlonAThriftHunt and FeminineReveries. GOTH is about bargain shopping so little trinkets and bargain buys would make cool giveaways. I’m thinking of easter gifts for kids to start off the fun this April. As for Feminine Reveries, its about fashion so I figured fashionable trendy stuff would do great.

Any thoughts or suggestions? What would you like to get as giveaways?

KoolRed’s Asian Food Review Contest

Lui — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 04:43:24 +0000

I was checking out air fares in Airasia when I noticed a link to KoolRed website. I checked it out and loved the idea. Travel lovers connecting with travel lovers? Definitely my kind of networking site. What’s icing in the cake is their Asian Food Review Contest!

Do check it out. You get a chance to win luxury hotel stays in Bali or Bangkok for 2 persons. I know some might say, ‘bleh.. it doesn’t include the total package’ but really hotel stays are the priciest expense when you travel and getting a chance to stay in a ‘luxury hotel’ is beyond wild. Specially if its free hehehe! I think I’m joining after all I’m crazy about food tripping and Asian food.

I’m off now to compose my ‘review’ and let’s cross our fingers and hope we win even the third prize.. And if you’re also a foodie why not write and get the chance to win.

And while you’re checking the contest out, why not sign up for KoolRed and join me?

Gone Badge Crazy

Lui — Fri, 04 Mar 2011 01:57:44 +0000

Yesterday I was bored. I finished all the chores early and didn’t have anything to do. Well, I had some things to do, blogs to update but I wasn’t in the mood. So why force myself? Hahaha. When I’m not in the blogging mood, I don’t blog. I simply look for other things to do. I was in tweaking, get creative mood so I turned my attention on my blog badges.

I figured it has been a year already since I change my badges. Time to dress up! And besides recently I’ve been trying to be more active in blog networking, visiting other blogs and also dropping Entrecard and Adgitize. So I think my blogs needed a new ‘business card’

Here’s what I made for some of my sites..

for my favorite, first ever blog Pinaywife Atbp. – grungy purple polka dots lurve it!

for my girly girl themed blog - Feminine Reveries

Lui-bloggera, blogging about things I find trendy and stylish

But I just realized now I forgot to make one for this blog!! Hahaha. Anyway, why am I posting about this? No reason really except to promote my other blogs. Lol! Hope you guys can visit them. And oh, if you want some badges, buttons or headers, I make them whenever I’m on the lazy-nothing-to-do mood. Shoot me and email and I could hustle up one for yah.

Dressing Up!

Lui — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 04:14:51 +0000

Not myself. But my blog. I’m one of those persons who just can’t help but fidget around. Now I’ve taken to updating my blog’s templates and today is Pinaywifespeaks turn hehe.. I had been Elegant Themes long time subscriber since way before they were very affordable and so I got a cheap rate for fabulous looking themes. They recently released a theme called Memoir and I can’t just get over how awesome it looks.

My favorite feature: changeable photo backgrounds. Aside from color choices available on the template, the changeable background can make you change the total look and feel of your blog by just uploading a photo of your choice. Neat! So I’ve been spending the better part of the day tweaking patterns on Photoshop for my background selection.

I decided to go for elegant {brocade} looks, but I also made one vintage -handwritten background and another coolly casual lilac dots background. I saved this all on my media library and I could easily change it whenever I feel like it. Right now I’m using the deep purple brocade backdrop..

How do you like it?

A Big Ooops…

Lui — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 07:44:03 +0000

I know my blog zoned out for the past 24 hrs. My mistake really. I do apologize if you dropped by earlier and found the site routed to a dummy page. Again, for two years in a row already, I forgot to renew my domain. It was due to expire yesterday and I was also out the whole day. The moment I got home I did not check the site, I was busy with other work.

It was only late this morning when I turned on Mozilla Thunderbird so I could check my emails and I can’t access the admin email for this blog. Lol! That’s when I realized I haven’t renewed yet. Maybe I should peg this down on the calendar already.

Anyway, I headed over to Hostgator domain registrant to renew. But I think the universe was conspiring against me. I tried paying with credit cards, a debit card but I keep getting an error. So I raised the red flag and asked for some help from their tech support and they requested me to submit a ticket so they could just arrange for me to make the payment via Paypal.

Now that’s what I love about Hostgator, fast efficient service. And they would really bend backwards to accommodate my request. I can’t speak for others but my personal experience with this company is beyond excellent. So in an hour or so I was able to process the renewal. Normally, the registrant don’t accept other forms of payment except credit or debit card. But if this won’t work or you are unable to process using said payment methods, simply contact their sales dept and they’ll issue and invoice so you can pay directly via Paypal.

Thanks Hostgator Support for again giving me the best service.

There’s Something I Want…

Lui — Sat, 19 Feb 2011 03:01:33 +0000

I’m busy. It’s a good thing, when I’m busy that means moolah, my mind is always on a creative overdrive, I don’t have time to pester hubby to go somewhere or what and that leaves him with sometime to on his textbook project too. I’m also very even tempered when I have a lot of work to do. I have two problems though, when I’m in working-creative mood. One, I have a hard time sleeping. Somebody suggested perhaps I might want to use natural sleeping pills but I’m scared coz I don’t want to be dependent on that. My mind is simply over active so sometimes, I have to work hard to lull myself to sleep.

And the second problem, when I’m too busy, I tend to skip out on my exercise routine. Once I start working on something it’s really hard to peel me off the project. Coz once I venture off to other thing, I lose my original train of thought and I hate losing ideas. So the exercising takes the back seat but I don’t want to be like this. I was already on track last December about my weight loss goals and now I feel like I’m slowly falling off. Haaaaaaaa! I feel like screaming for solution. Hubby suggests buying an exercise machine and installing it right next to my working desk. Hmmm. An idea worth considering.

But wait, perhaps something like this is better?

Whatchathink? Lol!

And So He Blogs…

Lui — Sat, 19 Feb 2011 01:17:41 +0000

I’m talking about the hubby. He’s ever supportive about my blogging activities, but he’s not really much into it. Although I know he reads my posts regularly hahaha. Lately though, he’s been bugging me to teach him how to blog. And he has a very specific niche in mind. Lol! And this ‘blogging student’ is very meticulous, he makes me squirm.

Anyway, he already has his own domain which he uses only for his email and as place for his files/lessons for his students to download. We haven’t really developed it coz I thought he didn’t have any interest nor the time to maintain it. But now I guess he’s been seeing the merits and the passive income that blogging brings. He says, its cool even if I stop blogging for a week, a month I’m still earning passively. Also, he says its one way for him to polish his English writing. So now he wants to get into it.

So what does he want to write about? His field is education and I can’t imagine him blogging about stuff like hydroxycut reviews, so I assumed he wanted to talk about studies, study abroad, scholarships. He was interested in this niche initially but renege at the last minute coz it’ll take too much time in research and writing. So I suggested something a little more personal, why not write about your travels and the insights he gains from them. He travels frequently because of work and he also has tons of photos from various places he has been to so they’ll make a great blogging material.

For now, his blog is up but still empty, I also did the header and I’m envious, I wish its my blog lol! It’s running on wordpress and I picked out the Misty Look theme. I’d be helping him out with the technical end and also some post editing. You can check it out here.

Dressing Up My Blogs

Lui — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 11:44:45 +0000

I’m on a dress-up my blog mood this past few days. Two days ago, I updated one of my long standing but often neglected blog. And it just inspired me to do a revamp of the blog looks of some of my other blogs. This blog is not on the list though coz I just changed the template last December and I’m still loving it.

Currently on the works is a new look for my fashion-girly blog FeminineReveries and you’d be seeing the changes in the coming days. I’m a bit picky about the templates I choose, I prefer themes by ElegantThemes since they are indeed elegant, and very easy to customize. If ever I fancied a free theme then I have to make sure the code is clean. I don’t want themes with malwares and malicious codes. I know, that takes a bit of time to choose but for me its simply like shopping for my own clothes or picking a designer upholstery fabric for our new sofa.

One blog I already finished changing themes for is my oldest blogspot blog – Pinaywife Atbp. It’s all about home decors, home styling, home trends and I picked out a nice and clean theme called Simply Minimal by Splashy Templates. I love themes like these, very easy on the eyes and highlights the content, and just between us, encourages a lot of CPM clicks .

Almost 3!

Lui — Thu, 25 Nov 2010 10:20:30 +0000

2010 is almost ending and its almost time again to say hello to a new year! Hmm, there is really truth to the adage that time really flies. And this morning I was looking at this blog, browsing old posts, and I cant help but sigh. A smorgarsbord. Lol! That’s what I have created here.

I love this blog to bits. Its started out as just something to drop my random thoughts on. Observations on lifestyle, snippets of our daily lives, till it evolved into something showing how life is for us here in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. I know I’m not a stellar writer but I’m quite happy how this site has turned out.

For one I never imagined that a few readers would be able to connect with me. I mean, when I started it out, at the back of my mind, there was always this doubt that who would really want to read about our life? Our experiences? Surprisingly, there are a few who reads and I’ve received dozens of emails asking about this and that, readers taking an interest. And for a blogger like me, that is something really to celebrate!

It’s also pleasing to hear that some of my posts actually were able to help others. I think knowing that is one of the most gratifying aspects I discovered about personal blogging. And of course, through this blog, I met a lot of people. Some actually became some of my best friends. How cool can blogging get?

This blog has also helped me through a lot. Specially when dealing with homesickness. When I was still trying to get into grips about living away from home and adapting to another culture, I would constantly suffer from home sickness. And I found myself gravitating towards the keyboard and pounding on the keys. It was like a great relief, like having a real thorough colon cleansing session. It has become some sort of therapy for me..

Anyway, I’m waxing on about this because I got an email from my domain registrar telling me that, Hey! You’ve got to renew your domain! Which led me to think that, Oh!!! My!! This blog is almost three years old already! Should I throw a party? Nahh. I’m not really a party person, so I’ll just settle on gifting myself with a gadget for all the ‘hard’ (hihi not really) work.

But now that I think about it, it might be a good idea. I might come up with a contest or whatever and have some freebie coming your way..=) If you’ve got suggestions, email me or drop a comment.

A Bit Swamped but Happy..

Lui — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 10:19:26 +0000

I’m a bit swamped with things to do. And I really don’t want to procrastinate, I need to finish things so I don’t want to dilly dally. One big reason is that when I start a project I’m really crazy about finishing it and once I stop somehow the ideas also stop coming. So, I just chose to be busy.

I’m very happy with the way blogging and my online ventures are turning out right now. A lot of people has been putting me down because at the start it won’t really earn you much. But since I got into this not just for that reason, then I just ignored those naysayers, forged ahead, had a blast while I was at it. Now three years later, all the {not really so hard} work is now bearing fruit. Bwahahaha..

A friend even said, if I’m living in the Philippines I could actually survive and have some more extra with the earnings I have online. Lol! Now that this is IT, I can only look forward to more work, more opportunities and more learning experiences. And there’s one person I’m so thankful for all through this blogging, writing, online earning brouhaha – Hi-ace.

He has always been supportive of this. Even if at some point nothing was really happening but he’s the one to always push me up. When people look down at me for being a work at home mom, he’s always the one to say, don’t mind them, just do what you love doing. For that, I will always be thankful to him for being always at my side.

Ain't this orange cat just adorable? Why am I putting this here? Ssshhh! In my imagination, I look as adorable hihi when I'm deliriously happy! But don't tell anyone..

That’s not to say that I am content,hehe I am always the one looking for new things. I’ve got a new online endeavor I’ve just started a few months back that actually had me squealing with delight when I realized I could actually earn too from it. Creative work + blogging = A happy satisfied Pinaywife. I’ll be sharing more of these soon, since everything else is in the works.

I just can’t help but be almost deliriously happy. Sure some things are not going my way, but life is like that. And when I take stock of people, things and blessings that I have, I am so grateful. And I wish to spread the goodwill and happiness to everyone. After all if you need an excuse, well, its almost Christmas!

As each day comes to us refreshed and anew, so does my gratitude renew itself daily. The breaking of the sun over the horizon is my grateful heart dawning upon a blessed world. ~Terri Guillemets

A New Blog: G-O-T-H

Lui — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 12:15:03 +0000

Well, not really new. I had the domain for a few months already, WP installed and all but it’s only now that I was free and inspired enough to start posting.

G-O-T-H is short for Girl on A Thrift Hunt! This is something like a spin-off of this blog. If you regularly swing by this blog, then you probably know I love bargain hunting and Phnom Penh has surprisingly turned out to be a thrift hunters gold mine.

I’ll still keep posting some Shopping in Phnom Penh finds and buys but a lot of my thrift finds will now be posted on the new site. It’ll feature thrift shops, thrift buys, sale announcements – online and also maybe garage/yard sales announcements.

We also have plans on starting a Share-a-Thrift-Hunt Meme once everything is in place. Please do visit the site. Link exchanges and comments are welcome =)

Another Blogging Blurb: A Happy Surprise..

Lui — Fri, 29 Oct 2010 02:46:25 +0000

A few days ago, I was not really getting into my writing/blogging mood. I was building some simple HTML websites for a friend and was also working on my sister’s business website. So, most of my blogs were running on scheduled posts. That happens sometimes that I seriously can’t come up with anything to write about plus there wasn’t any motivation at all hehe..

I was supposed to be updating this site, but all I could was stare at it. I guess I was in a pretty bad mood. But then, I hopped on my email and found a happy surprise there.

Remember a short tutorial I posted here about Adding a Contact Form to Your Blogger Blog? Some people think there’s not much use to it and it’s just a recipe for inviting spam. Thankfully, I don’t subscribe to those ideas. Having a contact form makes you – the blogger, a lot easier to reach, to get into business with.

I’ve mentioned I’ve gotten direct advertising offers through this, mostly on a monthly basis. But the offer I got from my email the other day takes the cake. Few of my sites got booked for a whole solid year! And did I mention these are just ‘blogspot’ blogs?

And another thing that makes me ecstatic is that, once each link was up, I was instantly paid for the whole year rental.. Here, check out my paypal screenshot. This is only for a single link in one of my PR3 blogs..(I’ve shaded all other transactions..)

Patience really has its rewards hehe…The best thing about this is that – its all earning the passive way!

Blogging Blurb: WordPress New Release for iPhone/iPad

Lui — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 03:02:47 +0000

I blogged before that I could barely summon any interest in buying an iPhone or an iPad. Sure it looks so pretty and all those features but really, the main reason I’m not salivating after it, is that, it doesn’t come in purple. Hahaha, shallow! I know, I could just as easily buy a purple case or something but its not the same!!

And of course, I had to satisfy the purple crazy girl inside me. But wait, there’s something new I could add on an iPhone or an iPad that makes me almost want to have it! I was idling away my time staring at my WordPress blog dashboard when the blog feed from WordPress caught my eye – WordPress for iPhone/iPad v2.6 Released.

I’m not yet that sold on the idea of mobile blogging, lol! I don’t think I could really get into the groove of typing into microscopic keypads, but I’m a WordPress-shipper so I’m kinda liking it now.. Who knows if I could really get into it. But if I do, I should probably get a laptop insurance with my propensity to lose things.

I’ve even checked out a video of a walkthrough of WordPress iPad app..

Click here to view the embedded video.

Hmmm, interesting. The question is, should I spend on something as pricey as an iPad? Ohhh, a thrifty mom’s dilemma. LOL! On second thought, does Santa read blogs? I hope he reads this..
