Way of survival in US

When I first came here in US, I am surprised when women do the work that only men in our countries will do. hahaha... well, maybe that is my impression because I never do such thing when I was in my country. Things like, mowing the lawn, carpentry work, etc. heavy jobs. At first, It surprised me and I keep on wondering why women do that? I understand later on that women who are living alone specially single mothers have to do what they can do in order to survive and that is doing heavy things that only men will do that in my country. I mean commonly.. I did not see a woman doing carpentry in my country, but here yesterday, I've seen a woman working in their roof putting shingles. Some women do the brick or do siding? Oh!! it is interesting, anyway.

As I heard from my Pinay friends who got married and lived here, they said that they do everything just to earn. Whatever work that they never had experience doing in their country, they will do it here. There are many professionals who work as server in restaurants, work in the alteration shop, baby sitting, caring for old people, cleaning the house of others or they call it house keeping, mowing the lawn of others, etc. They said, they never done that in the Philippines but here? whatever it is, ladies should do it in order to earn. In the Philippines? it's embarrassing to others to do that kind of job specially if they are professionals.. PRIDE,PRIDE.

As I keep on thinking about it, why then we are ashamed to do that job? It's not bad to do housekeeping? the only thing is that, when they are in the Philippines, they have maids to do the cleaning of their house and now when they come to US they are the ones who are paid by others to clean houses. Not a decent job for a degree holder right? Well, you have no choice when you are still new to the area. There are many adjustments to make. It made me realize also that we need to be flexible to do anything to survive. That's life in America. Everybody must work to earn a living. Even if you don't feel very good physically, you have to report to your job. Work is always a priority.

Inspiring surprise!!!

Last night, I received a note from a friend in AC ( associated Content) with a big CONGRATULATIONS!! I was amazed what for? then she said on her note that I made it to the top 1000, my badge as AC producer. Well, I just smile because she might be mistaken. But I have a high regard on this lady and I know she will not be kidding or made a mistake? I was so curious of what she is talking about that I log in to the site and checked what was it all about.
Well, I saw the badge beside my name in my profile and I read the explanation what it was all about. Since I am not searching or reading more about their FAQ or promotions or other offers, I did not know that they will award their content producers who have high page views in the previous year. Meaning last year 2008. I did not expect that I made it to the top 1,000 with my page views. Well, I'm glad, I don;t know how it happened but what I know is that I just promote my articles , book mark it to popular websites affiliated by associated content.

I really love this site because you can earn double with your article. They will pay you with an upfront payment ranging from $3 and up depending upon the topic and quality of your content and you be paid by your page view bonus every month. That is cool.. which means as long as there is AC on the web, you will be receiving your page view bonus every month. So, the more articles you have the more money you can get if you promote your article properly and you have good key words. It is exciting. If you want to try joining you can visit associated content

I have about 49 articles on that site but I am not earning a lot every month because I have no focus.. hahaha I have a lot of sites to visit that's why my earnings are always carried over to the next month until I reach the pay out which is only $10 to reach every month.
