Life Update: Choco Mint Muffin, Cloud Migration, Ghost Writing, and Real Job


I received an email from my hosting provider saying that they will migrate into a cloud platform and advised to refrain from updating my site.

So I will not be able to post to my beauty blog and I am here.

Just to update I am one month behind regarding the event’s preparation on March maybe the change in management and the previous event affected it.

As for my other job, I accepted numerous number of ghost writing jobs as I do not have a qualified blog to accept paid tasks. Blogging has really become mainstream in the Philippines. My PayPal account shows positive balance and I have bought new makeups out of it.

I do not see anything bad about Ghost Writing simply because I understand how busy a blogger can be and who wants to let go of tasks right? Some bloggers do not receive those task like me. Writing for them makes me feel that the task was also assign to me. Besides I can practice my writing skills, writing with different topics, restrictions, and deadline.

I am happy with the result of my beauty blog. I feel that I made the right decision of doing it because I’ve been into beauty since high school. It’s something that I do not have to force myself just to keep it updated. It’s not always about the ranking, it’s about new discoveries and experiences you encounter.

I become a more positive and friendly person because of it. I met new people and receive perks. (Visit: www.dishysammy.com)

My online store is doing good also knowing that I do not update it that much. I am impressed because I still have customers. I think I should allot enough time for that. (Search: Sammy Sari Store on Facebook)

Right now I am reading Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks.

I received this book from a colleague – birthday gift.

I also bought other books to read from book sale – The Beck Diet, The Hex Appeal, 10 minutes 10 years, and Lover’s Yoga, all self help books.

I hope I could start getting fit and healthy.

Reading helps me speak and write more fluent and spontaneous. It exercise my brain cells too and I am learning a lot of things.

Moreover, I am lacking sleep simply because I am waking up early and sleeping late at night. Our new house is just really far from my work place I have no social life but I love the place.

I am still adjusting and still striving. I am going with the flow, I hope the forces above is guiding me because I really want to pursue this journey I am currently taking.

I hope to make the right decisions.

So much of a personal post here. I should not have change it into a food blog. hahaha

Oh well I should finish my muffin.

The Invitation by Jude Deveraux


Taking a break from food fellow readers. I hope some of you are bookworms too. I have been searching for this book for a long time and finally I found it.

It’s as if there was a light shining upon this book while I browse the shelves of Book Sale.

I got it for PHP 97.00 only. Most of my novels came from Book Sale. Aside from Paulo Coelho and Nicholas Sparks which I read from eBook only; I do not mind reading random books written by different authors.

In fact Book Sale has best selling authors like Dan Brown, Daniel Steel, John Grisham, Nora Roberts and more; cheaper than brand new but still readable and intact. (I hope the authors name were right Embarrassed smile)

Most of my books were suspense, crime, and romance.

I forgot to take a photo of it last night because I started reading it. I became interested in this book because while I was browsing love quotes web page, this was quoted.

Love, true love, is rare. It doesn’t happen very often most people spend their lives searching for it and never find it.

I am a certified hopeless romantic and I apply some romantic gestures in my real life. Open-mouthed smile

I will finish this book and eventually post  more quotable quotes. Red heart

Weeeee,

Sammy

Read the book first then watch the movie or vice versa? : The Lucky One a novel by Nicholas Sparks


I got the book from a colleague last Christmas when I shouted that I want a new book. I finished reading it last January 2. I soon heard the news that it’s coming in theaters in April (April 19 to be exact) I was so excited to see the movie because I want to compare whether it will be the same as it is in the book.

Last April 17 friends from Powerbundles (Creative Programs, Inc.) gave a premiere night pass. Woohooo courtesy of Lifestyle Network.

Starring Zac Efron (Logan Thighbault) and Taylor Schilling (Beth Green); of course the movie didn’t started like the book did. The visuals made it more understandable. The flash backs were clear and the whole story was easy to follow.

The movie is about a photo found in the desert after a war in Iraq and Logan thought that Beth is his lucky charm, he should find Beth and thank her.

I am quite confuse now because I don’t know if I’d liked it or not. I like the whole story though.

Is it because I read the book that is why I understood it? I have anticipated every scene.

The ending was twisted (sorry if I am going to spoil some clips). Zeus (the dog) did find Ben not Keith. Haha

It was a feel good movie after all. I do not want to go on details about the movie because some of you might have not seen it yet.

A lot of books were made movie after being a best seller.

So I am leaving you guys a question…

Do you prefer reading the book first then watch the movie or vice versa?

Xoxo,

Sammy
