While digging into some personal items, I have found a couple of diaries which I have stopped writing in for years. I flipped through the pages and read a few entries I wrote when I was a teenager  till my early 20’s. I realize how unhappy I was . Miserable would be one of the adjectives that was applicable in my life then. Family problems, financial problems and the passing of my beloved mother.

I haven’t updated the diaries for so long, and since the last entry, my life has changed tremendously. A change that I wouldn’t have thought at the time when I wrote it last. Though the memories of the past may come to me when I least expect, but if I do not allow it to hurt me, it would lose its strength and power over me. Even though the wound is there, the pain of the memories have gone.I am blessed now with a happier life.

No matter how tough a problem can be, just remember that, it shall pass. Though the hurt may seem to be overwhelming, the pain will eventually subside with time.

We just moved into a new spacier apartment a few weeks ago and things are getting together rather well. We have a few more things to organize still. Yet I hope it will not take us too long to feel quite settled.

I am rather interested to see through my new kitchen window, when the snow falls this year. Something that I am looking forward to. At the moment, I can imagine how magical it would look like when all things covered in a white blanket and the snow flakes making their way to the ground. I have always liked snow. From the warmth of my apartment. It is not as nice when you are out in it. Unless if you are playing with it.

Thus far, we are quite happy with the home that we are putting together. A happy home is very much important for a happy family.

Have you ever lost your files before from your PC or laptop? For me, so far, not yet, thank goodness. I need to get an external hard drive for backing up I suppose. Join in the conversation below and tell people what you think about backing up files frequently.

Some months back, I started a little malay class blog. If you are learning the Malay language or even Indonesian (it is a little bit similar), you might want to head to that particular blog of mine. http://littlemalayclass.blogspot.com.

I haven’t been able to update that blog for months. But I have not given up on it. I also have another blog contributor for the blog. So, if you like what you find there, please continue to check it once in a while for updates.

This review is made out of my own experience with the webhost.

A few weeks back I decided to try out another webhosting. Not that I have changed my webhost. No, so far they have been great for simple blogs like mine.

I tried out eVerity’s service. Though a week cannot be sufficient to talk about it’s uptime and such, but at least I can say that I was pretty happy with their customer service respond. According to webhostingstuff.com’s uptime statistic, eVerity has more than 99% uptime.

They have 5 packages to choose from. Mini, Standard, Pro, Enterprise, and Semi-dedicated. All of which you can pay monthy or yearly. The space starts at 500 MB with 25 GB Bandwidth (Mini package) for $3.99/month and $3.33/month if you pay for a year. The benefit of paying yearly is, as you see, you get a slight discount plus a free domain. Currently, you may only pay for 10 months and get 2 months free with the free domain included. There is NO CONTRACT. What I like about their service is, you can cancel it anytime and they will refund the remaining months you do not use, minus the cost for the domain though. The domain will be yours.

There is a 10 days trial period for all the packages, except for the semi-dedicated. Therefore, it is not required for you to pay up front for the first 10 days. They don’t have any live support either. But as I have experienced and read from other users of eVerity in forums, they will answer your support ticket or message roughly within 20 minutes. You will get an answer from a guy called James. Though I have a feeling it is not always James who answered my questions all the time, but it’s okay as long as they respond and do a quick work when I need them to do something. They transfer websites from one cpanel account to their server for free.

So if you are looking for cheap hosting with reliable, and fast working customer support, you should give eVerity a go.

If you are looking for a way to make passive income through your blog or website, then please read on. Read on as well if you are looking for ways to buy cheap backlinks.

I have been with backlinks.com for 2 months now. It is a website which, once you join, you will be able to sell backlinks. Anyone can join, but in order for your site to qualify, it has to be your own domain (no blogspot.com, wordpress.com etc) and has a pagerank of at least 1.

After signing up, all you have to do is get the codes for your website.You may choose what sort of codes you would like to add onto your website or blog. It is much easier to add on a wordpress blog, because all you need to do is download the backlink plugin. Upload and activate it as you would do with any other wordpress plugins. Go back to the website get the code which you can find at their wordpress plugin installation guide. Add the code at you sidebar.

Once everything is done, you’re ready to go. Just wait. I waited for a few weeks before I got my first few sales. The rates aren’t that much, but for a one time job, it is still good money. Here is how much you will get:

PageRank (PR) 1 homepage $.50 , subpage $.50
PageRank (PR) 2 homepage $1 , subpage $1
PageRank (PR) 3 homepage $2 , subpage $1.50
PageRank (PR) 4 homepage $3 , subpage $2
PageRank (PR) 5 homepage $4.50 , subpage $3.50
PageRank (PR) 6 homepage $12.50 , subpage $10
PageRank (PR) 7 homepage $30 , subpage $25
PageRank (PR) 8 homepage $75 , subpage $50

Here’s what it would look like.

Payments are made monthly to your paypal account. So check backlinks.com.
