My Blog for Life

It’s almost 3 in the morning and I can’t sleep, I am thinking of how to start blogging. I went to my bed, turn off my PC, then after I return to my desk and decided to write a draft of my thoughts. :-)

Who am I? Well, I am simple mother of 2 boys; my eldest is 8 years old who is studying now in Grade 3 and my youngest who will turn 2 years old by Sept 4. As of now, I am renting an apartment with my youngest son. I have no maid or yaya.  My husband is in Turkey (he is a Turkish national) and he will be back by 2013. I find it boring with nobody to talk to; no one is there to listen in my crazy ideas. But, I also found it as a good bonding for me and my son, because I spend all of my time in taking care of him. Having a very sweet and a smart baby is the greatest gift for me.

During my spare time, I spend my time searching on internet. I usually spend a lot of time in reading forums and articles about online and offline business. Most of them describe blogging as a hobby and at the same time a business. I love business but I don’t think I have enough knowledge to run a business, why I said that? Because, I was once a businesswoman but I always failed. I’ll tell you more about the businesses that I operated and the reason why I failed. For the meantime, lets proceed first on my introductory post to get to know more about me. 

Just last month I got a project at www.odesk.com which is a data entry job. I am working on it for at least 5 hours in a day and the rate is $1.00/hour, not bad for someone who wants to turn his spare time profitable. The money that I am earning from odesk is helping me in our daily expenses. Earning at least $30 in a week is enough for me, and no one will give you that amount for free. I’ll update you later with my experiences at odesk.

Aside from being a freelancer, I also love cooking, baking and experimenting recipes, I even dreamed to have my own bakeshop or restaurant one day (hopefully). I am collecting recipes from cooking websites and once I had extra budget for the recipes, I tried to cook it.  My tester is my baby and my hubby, and sometimes I am sending the cooked food to my family (3 hours drive from my place). During special occasion I used to volunteer in cooking, in order for me to know if I am good in cooking. I consider those as a feasibility study, if I will pursue the cooking career ;-).

Traveling? Hmmm… I love to explore and travel to different places, but, the thing is I have a sickness in traveling. I felt dizzy and sometimes I vomit when I am traveling especially when I travel by land. I have no problems in traveling by air, but, not all the places can be reached via airplane. Sad to say but I guess with my problems in traveling I can’t be a traveler.

Shopping? I love shopping if I have some extra cash, but I don’t shop for fashion. I spend lots of time at Kitchen and Household Department, maybe because of my dream to have my own house with the latest furniture’s and modern design.

Anyway, this is just a summary in order for you to have an idea about me. Hopefully this will be a good start for me as I enter into the world of BLOGGING. See you guys in my next post coz I have to cook our lunch first.
