If you are my regular blog reader, you will know that I like Bon Jovi but I am not that huge a fan of social networking and do not really like MySpace. But if you are a MySpace member, you will know that there is a section for artistes to set up their MySpace page and they can upload their photos and music so that fans can download the files legally.

So, I actually stumbled upon Bon Jovi’s MySpace. I wasn’t searching for them but I guess with the buzz about their new single, they are everywhere on the internet, so I just clicked.

I don’t really love to “add” people to my network, especially people whom I do not personally know. I usually decline Add request from other members but this is one member I absolutely love to have on my Friends list.

I clicked ADD and I have to input either the last name or email address. I tried the last name since I have no clue what email address to put. For last name, I tried bon jovi, bonjovi, jovi and bongiovi, but they all failed. I give up *sigh*

As you may already know my sister has been a US resident for 5.5 years already. She has contemplated applying for US Citizenship but could hardly spare the time for all the paperwork.

I told her that if she is serious about giving up her current citizenship but to get all the benefits of an American Citizen that includes the right to vote and obtain federal posts and most importantly, the ability to bring extended family members into the United States as well as pass the citizenship status to her children, the she could save time and hassle and Apply for US Citizenship Online.

She said that once decided, she will have to act on it fast since one won’t know what new legislature will be passed that may make applying for a US Citizenship harder and harder to obtain approval. I have to agree with her there. Governments the world over are rather fickle.

I was looking for some information on tsunami when I came across this South East Asia Earthquake and tsunami blog. I would like to highlight it because these people have tirelessly maintained and update the blog regularly to bring SEA earthquake and tsunami news and information to us. It is much appreciated.

I believe after that awful tsunami misfortune on Boxing Day a few years ago, everyone has been rather jittery with the mere mention of the word “tsunami”. I have a friend who even considered relocating because his current home is near the sea. Not that near, but it’s too close for comfort.

It is indeed great that there are people who care enough to update the community on the situation. Visit the SEA-EAT blog for News and information about resources, aid, donations and volunteer efforts.

The other day, I was so mad with this blog for pay marketplace. I placed four bids on two opportunities and surprisingly all were accepted. Usually these advertisers will take forever to even make a decision.

So anyway, I wrote and submitted all of my articles and promptly forgotten about them. Unfortunately, I received an email from this marketplace informing that all my articles, at 200+ words a piece, had to be withdrawn as the adverting opportunities were purchased with a fraudulent credit card.

I was also told to remove my posts from my blogs. But the posts have already been ping-ed and cached, you know? My stats tracker even showed people who came to my blog from searching for that particular domain.

Pah! And now I am told that I have written for nothing.

Writing a post and giving links for free is one thing, but writing posts that I THOUGHT I would be paid and then told that I will NOT be is another issue, you know what I’m saying?
