The Rush That Soccer Brings

Today, after more or less four months, I was able to play football again. Our team, Marikina United FC, which meets at the Marikina Sports Center regularly, had a tune up game against Claret Alumni. It felt so good to be in my soccer shoes again and just run, kick and create tactics on how to get the ball into that goal together with my team mates. There's that certain rush to it, one that I don't get from basketball, badminton or any other sport that I have ever played. I guess only those who've played and really enjoyed soccer can really understand this feeling. It's just nice to feel that feeling again.

By the way, don't miss the finals of Euro 2008 on Monday early morning here (Sunday night European time) - Germany vs Spain. To catch up on what happened during the Group stage, quarter finals and semis, you can check out my other blog (that's how crazy I am with football) Football Videos and Pictures.

Blessing From Above

Tonight, as I was looking at my account history at Paypal, I began computing and added all the money I have withdrawn from my account since I began blogging last January and I was surprised to find out that I have been averaging about P5,000 amount in withdrawal. But of course I did not withdraw every month, I only withdrew last February, March, April and the last one was this month, but that was the average additional income that blogging has given us. I am blessed that God has used this as a way to provide the other needs of my family (in addition to what my wife makes from her blogs). I remember that it was late December of 2007 when we started praying for this and God has really answered our prayers.

James 1:17 "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. "

Adverts of SocialSpark

As our readers must have noticed, I do have sponsored posts in this blog every now and then. I have tried other pay for blogging platforms and there are just companies that can be disappointing to say the least. If their available opportunities are once every week or month, they would only be of casino and pharmacy advertisements. I often pass these kind of opportunities up. I honestly don’t know very many people who grab these kind of opps and I can not blame them.

I am glad to have signed up to SocialSpark.com. This is the most recent platform that I have joined. And I could say that most, if not all opportunities, I can relate to. Which includes, Dockers, Chevy, movies and even TV series.

Given the fact that I am a sporty type of person, I would love to be able to find more advertisers that would give opportunities that have to do with soccer like Diadora, Nike, Adidas and even energy drinks. Being able to write about stuffs we love encourages us bloggers to write better and really have a great time doing it.

What more can I say? Bloggers all around the world wide web are all waiting for vast opportunities to write about. And we are glad even as SocialSpark is relatively a newborn platform, it does give out opportunities more than we have ever expected. I hope to see more opportunities to come up in the future.
