Tumblebugs Witty Quotes


I have been engrossed with a PC game called Tumblebugs lately and at first I was so preoccupied with it that I ignored some of the game details until recently I noticed that Tumblebugs gave out cool interesting tips after you finish each level.

The tips confused me at first as it is applicable not only in the game but in life as well. I find the quotes, funny, interesting, and smart. The creators of this game must be really creative. Would like to share some of the quotes/tips now.

You are being watched...cut out the hanky panky for a few days.

Never mess up an apology with an excuse.

Never test the depth of the water with both feet.

Money will not buy happiness but it will let you be unhappy in nice places.

If you want your spouse to pay attention to every word you say, talk in your sleep.

Everything your mother ever warned you about is true.

A 3 year olds’ voice is louder than the voice of 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.

Diplomacy is the art of saying “good doggie” while looking for a bigger stick

Sometimes speed is the way to win (especially later on).

Don’t worry too much about what other people think…they seldom do that

I Got Accepted by PayperPost!

After more than 3 months of blogging, I am happy because payperpost approved my application. Well you see one of my goals in starting this blog is to join paid to review sites and I am glad that I have just accomplished it! I got to know it from other bloggers who seem to be so thrilled with the earnings they are getting from payperpost.

The blogging thing was just an experiment and I realized that blogging is no easy task. It requires dedication, patience, and you have to learn the tricks of the trade. Well I guess even if I am a newbie in blogging and quite clueless when it comes to some SEO technicalities, I guess being a Payperpost blogger now means I am on the right track.


It is great to know that my efforts paid off and now a paid to review site now values my opinion and see my blog worthy to be a site where I can review the services and products of their various clients. It is great that I get to write about m interest and be compensated for it. So to all bloggers out there who are looking for ways to earn money…check out Payperpost!




SEO Writers Needed!

SEO Writing: This involves generating articles for web content. No byline. Subject depends on clients' desired topics and keywords. You will be emailed keywords from diverse topics, from healthcare and sleep, travel and home decor, to beauty and investment marketing. As for research, you have the World Wide Web.

Assignments can be in bulks (i.e., of 3-5) or just what is handed out to you. Keyword placement is crucial. Keywords in an article should usually be placed in the title, first and last paragraph, and some instances in the body.

Plagiarized content will not be paid for. You will run your articles through two online checkers: www.articlechecker.com and www.ivyresearch.com/essaychecker before submitting them. If your article snags a plagiarism hit on both checkers, then you need to rewrite them.

If you're interested, please send an email at animnakambing@yahoo.com with the appropriate subject line: "Please send me the SEO test." The payment scheme P80 per 400-550 word articles. P100 for 700-word articles is only for starters, once you've improved on your writing and there is no need to edit them, payment offers will go up. You will be informed of the quality of your work every time you submit your work.
