It’s been awhile since I have written something here that is seriously about my life. I think I have been off the grid for many days now. Do you wanna know why? Well, the answer is simple. I am already two months pregnant and it kept me early in bed in the past few weeks.

Anyway, I have been under medication and the side effects of the anti-biotic made me weaker because of the diarrhea it gives aside from the dizziness and nausea. I was like that for almost two weeks. I am also suffering from morning sickness that is why I also kept myself in bed.

Oh well, I guess that’s just about it. So, how’s life treating you nowadays?

Forget the turkey, just enjoy this weekend with family and friends! Don’t forget to give thanks to our Lord Jesus Christ for all the blessings. God bless you all and Happy Thanksgiving Day!!

Though EntreCard is having an economic overhaul, I am still in the mood of giving away FREE entrecard credits starting today until December 8, 2008. Why? Because that is the day when this blog turns ONE!!

What’s the catch? To be honest, every contest or promotional giveaways has a catch right? So, here’s mine and it’s very simple. Just subscribe to my feeds via email, you will get 30EC credits automatically once you’re verified. Add me to your blogroll, then get another 30EC credits when I have confirmed that you have linked me. After doing any of the two or both, leave your email (example: lourdesmia@*.com, remove the domain) and the name & URL of your blog for verification. By the way, please don’t delete me in your blogroll after you have linked me. Let’s make it permanent because I will add you blog to mine too.

So, isn’t that simple?? Bet it is!! If you have questions and clarifications, don’t hesitate to leave a comment or send me a message at my EC widget inbox. Thank you for taking time.

Q: I have already subscribed via email and added you in my blogroll before, can I still join??
A: Yes, if you still have another email to subscribe and a blog that has not made any link with me.

Guess what guys! The online mommy that I have created a few months back and my main blog was featured at our country’s local parenting magazine – Working Mom!! Yup, if you are from the Philippines, grab the October 2008 Issue and turn to page 36. You will see an article about Pinay Mommies Community and the interviews done to my three blogger friends (Mommy Aeirin, Mommy Cara and Mommy Charm) who went to the interview as our representatives.

Though I was not in the picture, I am already happy that they mentioned my name, my main blog and of course – Pinay Mommies Community! I am just so happy. ^_^

Thank God for such a wonderful blessing!!

There is a big overhaul at the EntreCard Economy. If you haven’t heard about it, here are the key major points they have changed. This could be bad news to all who are selling EC credits and doing big contests that involves this.

1. Buy credits for less: Entrecard is now selling 1,000 credits for $6.00. You can buy them here: http://entrecard.com/r/buy_credits

2. More pricing increments: Instead of prices doubling every time, there are now a few more steps. The new price points can be found on the Advertising page in the wiki, here: http://entrecard.com/docs/doku.php?id=advertising

3. Members are not allowed to sell credits: This goes for ebay sales, posts in the Marketing forum, and posts on other forums. If you have references on your site to the sale of credits, please remove them immediately, as it is now against our terms.

4. Credit transfer limits: Members are allowed to make a maximum of 14 credit transfers a week, up to a maximum of 1,000 credits, whichever comes first. This means you can still run contests where you give credits away for free, and under 1k per week. Note: This does not affect linked blogs, you can transfer unlimited credits between linked blogs.

5. Transfer tax: From now on, all transfers, including transfers made with our new payments API, will be taxed at a rate of 12.5%. The taxed credits will be sold to members (see #1).

6. Blogs cannot be unlinked: Once you link a blog, it’s there for good unless you ask us to delete the blog from your account. This prevents linking/unlinking to get around the credit transfer limits, and it also stops you losing access to a blog if you unlink it in error, which happens a lot.

7. No more coupons: You are no longer allowed to send coupons.

8. Shop closed: Except for Entrecard upgrades (Featured Status, Fast Pass) the Entrecard Shop is now offline until further notice. Please do not request a seller token until the shop returns. When it comes back, it will be bigger and better. We’ll communicate more details nearer the time.

Personally, this is bad for me. I was planning to have a contest soon involving EntreCard Credits. Now, I would be limited to 1000EC per week.
