My Kindle Obsession

 


I have come this close to purchasing a Kindle Paperwhite in Plum on Ebay. I've been obsessing with the plum color and have been too excited to read the books that I otherwise couldn't read because buying more books is just too expensive and unpractical for me right now. 



My list of titles has become long, I've been snapping titles here and there, especially ones from my favorite authors. 



Reading can actually do me some good and improve my vocabulary. Plus, I would love to read Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. 

I have a ton of plans for my Kindle, and that includes an unboxing video,  and perhaps earn money on the side by applying for one of those reading or editing sites and providing my feedback. 

I have been setting aside money and saving up for it so that I can make a purchase soon and get a case. 

Of course, it has to be pink... 


Big Bad Wolf

The timing is just right, we will be in Manila during the Big Bad Wolf event, so I can definitely check out the books available there. But considering that I'm still saving up for a Kindle, I can just check out the scene and vlog about it.

Bomb Scare for Today's Entry | 6.14.2023



Today was a wacko day if you ask me. 

I was already on my desk writing a memo for the update on an ordinance when we heard the news of a prank caller regarding a bomb threat. 

And so, that's the highlight of the week. A bomb threat. 

Although seeing our photos plastered all over social media was embarrassing and shocking, that's that. 



Vlog

I was surprised to see that I now have 96 subs in my YouTube channel. I'm close to a hundred subs.

YouTube recently announced that they are lowering the requirements for more channels to be monetized. If I were able to upload one video every week and promote it, and just continue to stick to a schedule, then I would be able to get monetized in due time. 


Affiliate Marketing

For the first time in years, I understood how affiliate marketing works. Now more than ever, brands are paying for promotions and it's possible to earn commissions with the many platforms around today. 

I have 133 followers on Pinterest lol so I have to learn how to increase my following there. 

I've listed the tasks that I need to do over the weekend. That, and I have to continue writing and looking for gigs to do during the weekend. 




New Desk Mat 

And one more thing that made this week's highlight is the desk mat that I got from Miniso. It feels so different and I was able to retire the Jerry mousepad that I've been bringing around all over the place. I think I can reserve it for travel and other occasions or just leave it at home. 

I was thinking of ordering another one from Shopee for the house for when I work and write at home. It just feels so different. 


Feeling Motivated

Could it be the new laptop? All of a sudden, I feel inspired and motivated to do so many things and my productivity has shot up. 

It could be the laptop then lol.

Sacol Island Visit, Taluksangay, Zamboanga City


We conducted a site inspection for the mangrove protection project in Sacol Island, Taluksangay, Zamboanga City. Sacol Island is an ideal site for mangrove protection and conservation in the east coast of the city, with islands boasting of rich aquaculture and white sands. Just take a look at that clear water! #LEDIPSinAction #zamboangacity #zamboangaadventures #boatrides #islandhopping
