While reading their site I came across with this Gap Coverage New Vehicle wherein it is made especially for new car purchases. New car owners should be aware that buying a new car and driving it off the dealership place automatically depreciates its value (didn't know that). While standard auto insurance covers replaces the cost of your vehicle similar to the depreciated model. New car owners deserve the assurance of knowing that they can buy a truly new car in the event that their car is damaged shortly after purchase. So Advantage Auto Quotes is here to help you get the best rate for that, since dealership policies can be expensive and can take advantage of the owner's needs to protect his/her new car. Same thing applies to Leased Vehicle Gap Insurance Policies .

How I learn, felt and search for what I want to remember and share. Then I will write it in this blog.

Just A Simple Acceptance
Petty goading again from people with so much hang ups. Can't remove it in my head how some people just can't seems to act the way they should be. Why can't they just accept that nobody is perfect. It is just a simple acceptance of who is who..
She No. 1 is so touchy. She No.2 is the silent fault finder, She No.3 is a hater and She No.4 is me....lol... Touchy -laughing for someone's mistake but hate if someone laugh at hers. A silent fault finder, as if she is perfect in and out. The hater who hates everythings and everyone esp. those who intimidate her in anyway....And me..lol what can I say... hmmmm trying to keep my mouth shut as much as I can because everything I say might be against me. Trying to take everythings as a joke. But I am just human to say things I regret to say, just like anyone else.
How can you consider someone as a friend if you know she talks about you behind your back? How can you understand each other if instead of me she was talking to about how she feels about me, she talks about it with someone else? Will I share to her my innermost secret? I dont think so, because she simply cannot talk straight to me.... I thought she was a straight forward person, but I was wrong. I was totally wrong!!!!... But I am here.... I am here for her and for them, but she can never be that one I thought she was for me. Understanding, acceptance and love is friendship. But I guess it so hard to find it nowadays.....

Delusive To Be Paid By Blogging
The bank confirmation was finally done. I just have to wait for more assignments so I can reach the minimum payout amount of paypal before I can transfer it to my bank account. I used to be skeptical, but now I believe that it is not delusive to be paid by blogging. Thank you again to SponsoredReview for making me believe...
I got a message from a friend yesterday asking me how true it is to be paid by blogging. Can't blame anyone to be skeptical because I was too... I will be posting some of the tips I've been getting from forums and blogs about how to monetize your blog. I am not an expert but I will try to impart some of the things I've learn .
First and foremost, you have to love computer, internet and of course blogging otherwise you'll end up lost and exhausted. Just have fun learning different things aside from monetizing your blog. Here is one of the tips I got for begginers.
"If you blog for passion and money, then here is Blogger site. They have a feature where you can have your own domain and host your blog with them. You can customize your blogs to your hearts content for free and there are many tutorials and helpful bloggers around to lend a hand. And they allow you to earn money."

Big Support For New Bloggers
I just got an email from SponsoredReview notifying me their payment through paypal. Although I am still waiting something in my bank to appear to complete bank confirmation for security. Still holding my breath for that.
You've got new funds!
Dear Ester Besmonte,
SponsoredReviews.com just sent you money with PayPal.
SponsoredReviews.com is a Verified buyer.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Payment Details ;
SponsoredReview is the only pay to blog site that support this one month old blog and I am very thankful for that since I was skeptical in being paid for blogging before. Blogging is my passion and I've been mentioning on my blog that being paid it is just my secondary things to feel happy about. SponsoredReview is a pay to blog site that can be a big support for new bloggers. I really feel that being paid by blogging is one inspiring and worth doing especially for young people. Some of the poeple I know might raise their eyebrows when I tell them how much I've earned so far. It's NOT even enough to treat my kids to McDonald, but for a one month old blog to earn, is just something one blogger should be happy about regardles of how much it is. I will make more as this blog matures and when my PR goes up. Hence, I am working to make that happen while I am having fun. I am learning so many things and that is already a big reward for someone who's main intention is to blog her thoughts.

An Angel Send Me To This Blogging World
I got another approved bid to blog ..weeeee!!!!! This is really exciting for me from the bottom of my heart. I really think an angel send me to this blogging world.. lol... But I got some worries behind and I really hope it will be over soon.
My husband didn't want me to use our bank account to receive payment from paypal so I have to open a new account yesterday. I still have to wait 3 to 5 days to confirm the verification of my bank account by paypal for security reason and that's ok. They said that if the account number didn't went through or something is wrong, I will be charged $30...geeee!!! I dont have that earning yet in blogging and I have to pay $30...lol... So I am crossing my fingers that everything will be ok. I am so excited to receive that payment. You know what will I do to that small amount? I will give it to my high school bestfriend in the Philippines. She have 3 kids and a failure marriage ( irresponsible husband and a father). I send her money whenever I have extra from my pocket; $10 or $20 dollars is already something in the Phlippines. I am just sending it to her together with my letter via airmail. Quite risky but we always cross our fingers that it wont get lost. I am also sending a little extra to my niece. I sometimes send it together and just ask my niece to contact my bestfriend to pick it up.
Oh well I am tired today. After work, I went straight to our family doctor for my annual medical check up. Then I have to go back on Friday for ultra sound and x-ray. I used to have a bladder problem so it's just part of monitoring and I am not pregnant..lol.... Then probably sometime next week I have to come back for blood test.. Now this part really scares me!!!! ....
Ok folks, I will go to bed now and prepare myself for another battle at work tonight. I'll see you tomorrow again for another blogging thoughts...Have n nice blogging day!!! muahhhhhh

Blogging Makes Life More Interesting
Blogging is one of my hobby and being paid is just one thing to be happy about. Whenever I bid for a product from advertizer, I choose only the products that I am interested in. I cannot promote a product that doesn't interest me at all. I dont want to sound like a trying hard blogger who is desparate to be paid. I do this by checking the website of the product before I bid. Funny but I find most of the products from the advertizers to be useful to me and my love ones, either today or in the near future. I blog products like I blog my daily thoughts.
I actually avoid talking about this blogging hobby to some of the people that I am in contact with simply because they dont seem to be interested about it. I sometimes feel that most of the people around me doesn't want to talk about topics that I find interesting, that's why I do a lot of blog hopping. Here I can get interesting topics to put into my head. Talking about other people's life sometimes is fun but to do it every single moment of your life is already a dupeness. My mind is too pre-oocupied by interesting blogs where I can get knowledge to improve my daily living on earth -to mind others hate, jealousy and envious thoughts about someone.

Travel Plans
In one of my posts, I have mentioned about our trip in Montreal and that all hotels, motels and even lodges were all fully booked especially during the long weekend. So it was a lesson for me to booked ahead of time otherwise we will end up again paying $90/night to a very cheap and small motel. The next place we want to visit within Canada is Ottawa. So I searched for HOTEL RESERVATION's website and found out that they offer such a great discount price in Ottawa hotels. All I can say is WOW!!!!..

We always go to Niagara Falls and stay for a couple of days there to relax so I know the prices of the hotels around the area. It is just amazing to know HOTEL RESERVATION offers a big discounts on different hotels. Here is one hotel that I am interested to book in Niagara Falls, Canada.

Saturday In Canada's Wonderland
Some of the rides that my kids went on that makes me so nervous to watch. I cannot believe that they can jump into these kind of scary rides where I myself cannot imagine to go on.

Almost Forgot My Enthusiast To Earn By Blogging
I almost forgot my enthusiast to earn by blogging because I've recieved another devastating response to one pay to blog site without giving any reasons why... They just said I am not qualified..huhuhuhuhu!!!!... At least the other pay to blog site indicate the reason why I am not qualified at this time. It is because this blog is too young still..lol... and that's ok... . Then suddenly, I received an email again from SPONSOREDREVIEW saying that one advertizer approved my bid..WEEEEEEEE!!!!.. So my excitement on making money by blogging is "ON" again...hahahhahaah!!!.... I love you SPONSOREDREVIEW, you made me motivated to make money again while doing the things that I like...
I'm actually not that lost because I've been going to different forums and making the world know that this blog exist because I've learned that this can help to increase traffic.. It's fun!!! REALLY...... I am learning so many things though sometimes it's too good to be true to make that much money by doing the things that I really love doing, BLOGGING!!!!... But there's no harm in trying, as long as I am having fun doing it... I get to meet and read blogs of different smart and intelligent people and learn many things. Whether it is about making money or something that I can use on my day to day living. Aside from the fact that I am getting attentions from different people about my blog. I like that....

Upbraided Tone
A lesson I learn for today?...." when you give anything to someone, never expect that person anything in return, even a single penny "... I was talking to a friend on the phone while waiting for my father. Many times I heard her complaining about the expenses and time she spend for her cousin just to get here in Canada. She was even complaining that her cousin never give her any money when found a job here in Canada. Few days ago, she was quite happy to tell me that her cousin have been sharing some house expenses like sugar, milk, coffee... But yesterday when she asked her cousin for a penny to take for work to buy a snack, her cousin told her instead, to bring some food from their kitchen...hahahhaha... in short, her cousin didn't give her a single penny.. She feel soooo bad about it thinking that she spend more than a thousand dollar and even paid for her cousin's airfare.... Hearing her upbraided tone, made me want to throw her some questions like.. "Then why did you helped her?".. "You should have known her by now"... But I didn't, because I might make her feel worst...I think she expects some appreciation too soon and in her expected appreciated way. Sometimes it takes time for someone to realize how much was given to them. And sometimes, we have our own unique way thanking someone. Maybe not now, but later they probably will. They may not show it, but they know in their heart, they owe you a lot...

Filipino's Sign of Respect
It's a very gloomy and cold monday morning here in Toronto.. In this picture I am trying to show that traffic was starting to build in Hi-way 401. But if I will compare it to the traffic in the Philippines, this picture doesn't show traffic at all...
It was a quiet day for me today. Just a few pety conversation I had about using "ATE" (means older sister) or "NANAY"(means mother) to someone not actually related to you. Using "ATE" and "NANAY" to someone for a filipino is a sign of respect to a person whom you think is older than you. But it can be somehow very offending to others especially if the person saying "ATE" to you looks older than you or there's not much difference in your age. OR if someone will call you "NANAY" wherein the age difference is only about 5 years??.... common!!!! it is very offending indeed... I grew up in the city so I never get used to this tradition of giving respect to someone older than me. I usually say "PO" or "OPO"( means "yes" or "I agree") if someone whom I think a lot older than me. I treat everyone my age if a person is about 10 to 15 or even 20 years older or younger than me most of the time. Because I believe that everyone doesn't want to be treated old by anyone especially women.. RIGHT? ---
But on the otherhand, I believe that we all should accept the fact that everybody gets old. Our physical appearance changes as time goes by esp for women after giving birth. So if you are someone who looks younger than your age before, and somebody call you "ATE", that probably means that your loooks have changed and you're no longer that someone who got this baby face. Particularly, if you seldom smile....

Sunday Message
There was a lady asking for donation at the church. So I bought Kimberly and Kelly Anne a necklace pendant. It cost $10 for two. I can not say it was cheap but I just say it was a donation...
Luke 15: 1-32
Summary:
God is relentless in seeking to restore what is lost to the place it belongs. It is no surprise that this gospel begins by saying that Jesus spent his time with sinners and tax collectors. Where do we need to restore to? Where do we rightfully belong?
Funny but before the mass started, I was already reading the verses for this day. My interpretation was quite different from what the priest's sermon. And it was very true indeed.
Sermon;
It talked about God's Mercy--We always look for what was lost until we found it, then we are complete. Just like life, sometimes it is up and sometimes it down. When we are lost we have to find the way to our faith in GOD...
I remember someone I knew who always go to church and read the bible. But with a very simple crisis about material things, she acted upon it as something so heavy to face. Like she was lost on how to face life in a very simple test in life. I really think that if the problem is about material things, the solution is already right infront of us, even before the problem starts. How much more if she will be given a problem where the choices infront of her to solve the problem, are too big to swallow? I think it is because she got so many plans and goals in life materially, that she wants to achieve in no time . So weak to accept that she cannot put everything in her hands. I also believe that a person have to realize her lost faith before she can go back to where she should be---- Life is not always perfect; we just have to have a strong grip to our faith... Hard---- but I always pray that he will always be there for me and my family.

My Thoughts
Anyway I want to share you some of the thoughts I had for today--- I was taking a rest to the same place at the same time, where I can not see or observe different things that I am not supposed to see. But for some reason I sat on the opposite side and I was able to notice or see something odd. Something that annoyed me for some reason. I know I shouldn't think about something I shouldn't think, but I just cannot help myself but to utter some words. I was just wandering what was so special inside that container that makes them look like some kind of flies who chased some nutriment-- I am amazed to see her carrying that big container everyday for a number of heads waiting to be supplied but most of the time, these heads were so eager to supply themselves that they couldn't wait for her, so they have to open it by themselves--- I was able to take a little on my mouth sometime ago, but it was just some natural nutriment made at home and I didn't notice any special reason for some people to be allured by it.. Not unless these people have some personal reasons to save a little--hahahhaah( kapal)---- As the number of flies increase, the size of the container increase as well. My mouth cannot declare it as a charitable deeds for these people are not homeless or unfortunate. Perhaps her generosity made it all that even if she works double time just to show how generous her heart is.
Another thoughts I had for someone--- I just can't see the reason why she was acting so different from the rest... I just cannot help it but to noticed her eyes with hate towards me for some reason. Is it my independence against her dependence? I cannot stand someone depending on me for some superficial and childish reasons---- Hate in her eyes for my laughter and smile for I still refused to believe on what I think I am to her-- that she hates happiness in me. I guess I am just paranoid and I hope I am....

Sunday Message
The Sunday message today is about Luke 14:25-33-- I was listening to the priest and the interpretation is quite clear and simple- Funny that when we say "I do", we should ask ourselves if " we really do" and we shouldn't mistaken "I do" to "maybe I do" or "I will try"--- We have to stop comparing ourselves to anything or to anybody. Detached ourselves to material living, fame and all those things that can drive us to loose our commitement in our Faith or even drive us to do evil things---Instead, we should focus ourselves to our commitment in our faith in God. So before we say "I do" we should ask ourselves first if we really do....
I will go to bed now and prepare myself for another battle in my workplace--- I'll be back tomorrow for another thought..

Bad Favorites
Then at the subway station, I stopped by at "Tim Horton" to buy one double double coffee (double cream and double sugar) and one chocolate dip donout--- waaaaaa!!!! another calorie!!!! I'm fat...Help!!!!!
Here's is another tempting fattening food that I always see in Eglinton subway station that I cannot resist "CINNABON"---- thank God there's a line up and my work is more important that this sugary bread stick..lol.... I'll be LATE!!!! ... I'll see you tomorrow.....
This is probably why there's a lot of obese people here in Canada... Because of these tempting delicious food.. Hirap talaga iwasan.. grabe!!!!
A Mistake
Take the award, take the medal, take the fame, take the wealth, take the beauty, take the excellence, take the brilliance, take everything you want- you can have it all. Because I am just a sober, I am a trash, I am nothing this is probably what you want to hear from me and what you want me to be...... Can't compete, can't compare for who will win ? I am just me--- It was a mistake, it was my mistake...To hope someone is possible to be. I'll keep it, it'll be a part of my learning---

Montreal Trip
I thought It was only my family that will be on this long driving but my husband, without even asking my opinion, ask his friend to be our tourist guide since he used to live in Montreal (french speaking cambodian na mukhang pinoy na pinoy)---- So then he brought us here...
"Roman Catholic pilgrimage and worship where St. Joseph's began with the devotional impulse of a humble monk called Frère André. His original tiny chapel, begun in 1904, is still extant on the west side of the church shown here, which was begun in 1924 and finished in 1956. The dome is the world's second largest, after St. Peter's in Rome.
Religious visitors sometimes climb the steps in the middle, praying at every step; more pragmatic ones walk up normally or take one of the free shuttle buses from the base.
Inside there are essentially two large churches one atop the other, as well as side chapels including the candlelit hall leading to Frère André's tomb."
Then one lesson I've learned--(I actually forgot) is to make a hotel reservation esp. during the long weekend because we spend a lot of time finding a place to stay for the whole night since all the hotels ( big and small) were all fully booked.... But luckily, we were able to find one... Very small pero ok na rin...($90/day)---Puwede na?.... I was expecting an internet access that's why I had my laptop with me..(.ano ba!!!! cheap nga ang hotel no!!!! )
Montreal is a quiet and a small place. The street are narrow and there's a stop light in almost every 1km.. Geee...And then people here and there...Strictly no turning left or right until the green light is on.... Different in Toronto which makes me confused ....lol... I like it there but I'm used here in Toronto with wide streets and Hi-ways....
We had our dinner in Laval Quebec ( forgot to bring my camera), because we were invited by the relatives of my husband's friend---Cambodian's food are very much the same as our food. We ate baked Tilapia with fish sauce (hmmmm yum, yum)--- Then we went back to the hotel to sleep for a couple of hours for another long trip going home--- by the way, we picked our dog on our way home kaya amoy aso kami pag dating namin ng bahay!!!! hahhaha!!!

Fathers will be against their sons, and sons against the fathers; mothers against their daughters, and daughters against their mothers; mothers-in-law will be against their daughters-in-law, and daughters-in-law will be against their mothers-in-law"---
Who am I to say that this is what it means but I only mean peace for every heart. So I should say that-----
