It’s not easy to be a girl who has no luck with the computer. Each time I take the computer to the repair shop, I am afraid that they may scam me. Let’s just put that fear down to a very nasty experience I had a long time ago at another shop.

A friend offered to teach me to build and troubleshoot a computer but he lives 250km away and I certainly cannot afford the time to travel to him, shop for PC parts, spend a day building the computer and learning how to install the Operating System and other nitty gritty stuff!

A while ago, I was told that there is an easier way to learn how to build a computer from scratch as long as we have the interest. Not only do we get to learn how to build a PC from the beginning if we were to buy PC kits, we even get to save a considerable amount of money.

I actually was contemplating buying a new computer as mine is running slow and seems like it’s getting old and tired but after reading Easy As My PC at http://www.easyasmypc.com, where they recommend upgrading of PC components instead of changing the whole system. This sounds like a better idea and I can use the savings on my laptop fund.

Last night, a friend asked me why I blog like hell to earn that little amount of money when there are far easier ways. I was curious because I am sure that if he could say like that, it means that he has a secret of earning money on the internet!

Coincidentally, just now, I was told that there is a company called MetaPaid, which you can check out at http://www.metapaid.com, that is paying members to sign up for and complete offers. On top of that we get 15% over riding commission for all earnings of members that we have referred.

I read that payment is either by cash via PayPal or by gift certificate and the minimum payout is only $10. I think this is very reasonable.

I am tempted to get paid to sign up! Unfortunately, this money making program is only open to residents of the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. Aawww isn’t that just too bad?

I was told that there are over thousands of dollars in offers to be completed but I could not view them unless I am a registered member.

As a word of precaution, though, if you are signing up for trial offers, make sure that you cancel your subscription in time so as not to get billed.

I don’t know how long this has been going on because I hardly access my blog except on the back end. However, I kept feeling that just something is missing from my sidebar but I could not place it in my mind the missing item.

Just now, it hit me that my Widget Bucks widget is missing. Well, I have been a member for quite a while but have only started to display the widget on my three blogs a couple of months ago.

What I do not like about Widget Bucks is that it loads slow, most widgets are like that. BUT the thing is, they don’t even give me any money even though there was one click. Hey, I don’t mind getting $0.01 or even RM0.001 from a really notorious local blog advertisement company, but 0 is really bad.

From what I understand, Widget Bucks also pay by impressions. Well, I don’t get anything from that as well. I thought of removing them from my blogs so I checked my three blogs, and like I said, the widget was totally missing from two of my blogs and the third one redirects to eBay. Why do I need to redirect people to eBay using another person’s affiliate? Really pissed off.

So Widget Bucks bungkus already, is it?? Anyone knows??
