Struggling to get that desired sleep!

I so hate it!

My workmates can take a very deep sleep during the day while I, no matter how hard I try, never have a good 8-hour sleep in a day.

I dunno why, but this has been going on for quite a long time. I’ve tried several ways to fight it, but to no avail. I’ve replaced my curtain to black just to make it dark… I’ve tried drinking a glass of milk before bedtime… reading a few pages of a book… or even basking in the pleasure of Facebook.

Getting an ‘F’ in the effin’ subject called liFe!

This time I want to break away from the common theme of my posts in this blog. I wanna talk about the movie I saw yesterday. I have posted this on my other blog, but i just want to repost it here…

From a personal standpoint, our life, whether it is well-lived or not, is measured by how complicated it is. A simple one might be good as it gives you no worries, no stress. But a complicated one might be too burdensome to carry yet presents you with more opportunities for learning and growth. With that said, I think it’s clear that life being complicated is a good thing.

Little lessons in writing

This is not my own writing. It’s lifted from copyblogger.com, written by no less than its main man, Brian Clark.

10 Things that You Should Know to Make Social Networking Sites Work to your Business’ Advantage

Social networking has been very popular recently. Its effect to the world of business, especially in marketing and promotion, has been quite irresistible. Social networks offer probably the most convenient way of getting your business information across.

Here’s a 10-point strategy to help you get that information across to your potential client in the most effective way. These are not rules, by the way; they just serve as a guide that will make you more visible and ‘existent’ in social media marketing.

A formula to help you avoid being called a plagiarist

Writing has always been my interest. But, at times I wonder why I just can’t squeeze my brain to produce something worth reading in comparison to my friends. Be it literary or creative non-fiction, I always depend on my luck at gathering some interest to write. Or worse, look for ‘pressure.’

More realizations came in when I got a job at Virtual Assistant Technologies, Inc. where my task demands more of writing. But because of the pressing time given per writing activity, I’m able to write.

Not a good behavior, though.

Writing straight from the heart…

I had several training sessions about conversational writing with Craig over Skype in the past two weeks, and I’m telling you, what I learned was worth the long period that my problematic ears were exposed to the headset.

I must admit that I’m a bit struggling with the conversational writing stuff. Being a teacher (in the past life J), I have this academic-writing orientation which makes me totally a freak. Why? I freak out when I see something wrong with my writing… I freak out when I see or even hear some grammatical error in other’s works.

Virtual Assistant: Maintaining your business’ efficiency while you’re away

If you’re a businessman who wants to have your business efficiently going but still craves for a time to do other stuff, hiring a virtual assistant is definitely one you should consider. With the help of a virtual assistant (VA), you will have the freedom to do whatever you like without jeopardizing the well-being of your company.

Virtual assistants form the newest kind of workforce in the global economy these days. These are the people who work either as home-based freelancers or around-the-clock staff or a dedicated staff member. Off-site assistance is the name of their game because they do any sort of tasks you ask through a virtual environment.

Life @ VA

Hey…

It’s been more than a week since I posted something on this blog. Anyway, the past days have been so busy for me… I mean, learning things where you have little or no knowledge at all can be very taxing. But I’m not giving up. I guess I’m up to the challenge of this job.
