I know a lot of you want to help out or volunteer and stuff, so I thought it would be interesting to  give you guys a list of sites that you can take a look in to if you want to help out.

 

The first (and personally my favourite) is http://www.volunteermatch.org. Why is it my favourite, you might be asking? Well firstly, it’s really easy to navigate through it and secondly if you don’t have time or money to actually go into various countries and train people or volunteer there are online volunteer opportunities as well!

 

We all spend so much time online, the least we can do is actually go and volunteer a few hours a week and help others out.

For those of you in the UK, this site will help you out quite a bit: http://www.volunteering.org.uk/

Pretty cool, right?

 

Now let’s get enthusiastic about helping others out! It’s not just about helping yourself. =D

So, if you’ve traveled to London – you know for a fact, never leave your accommodation to a thing of “chance”. I speak from personal experience when I say that the next time I’m traveling down there , if I don’t have a friends place to stay at, I’m definitely going to be doing my booking in advance. How do you find your way around one of the biggest and busiest cities in the entire world?

 

Take a peek at www.hotelshopuk.com and feel safe in knowing you won’t have to spend hours looking for a specific destination. This website has it all nicely planned out for you and it’s easily navigated.

 

Finding hotels in London UK has never been easier people! So go a’searching and have some fun doing it.

It's amusing how people pussy foot around each other when they are not in relationships - sometimes even when they are in relationships. 

I have one relationship in mind now, I don't want the people to know so I'll just call the people in the first relationship "Dick and Tracy". 

In the beginning Dick didn't want Tracy. She scared him. Now she excites him. In the beginning, Tracy wanted DIck so much she was considered (by me) as acting a weeeee bit stalkerish and scary. Now she's nonchalent about him and they are tip toeing around each other. When I confront each one separetly, the usual excuse comes about first, "We're just friends!" and then - "He/She doesn't like me." 

Yet they spend almost more time together then Danie and I can manage in a week. LOL! Why don't they just get together and get it over and done with?

I know - I did the same thing right? But Tracy and Dick have been doing it much longer then Danie and I ever managed. >.< Come on Dick! Just do it and get it over with. LOL.

The concept to me seems a little risqué. I love Payperpost and I enjoy watching their escapades, so to speak from time to time but to dedicate an entire site just to the little video inserts they usually placed on their blog seems a little too much to me. Don’t get me wrong – if people want to sit down and roam through the site and watch the entire thing, that’s really up to them but it’s definitely a site I won’t be visiting often just so I can see the Days of Posties Lives.

 

It’s not that I don’t want to; it’s just that it really doesn’t interest me in the greater scheme of things, if you understand what I’m saying. Why would I take ten minutes out of my day to watch something that doesn’t pertain to me or to the actually “running” of PPP at most times. Its just that I’m so busy that my usual day just goes off to checking opps, posting a bit, MSNing and then rushing off to do real life stuff!

 

The whole layout of the website is gorgeous though. It’s easily understood and one can quickly manage to find their way through the entire website. I even found some of the text amusing.

Maybe the reality tv bit should have been left for a later date. But at the moment, I just don’t find the additional benefit of it.

 

Specially like the pirate touch ;)

"Zimbabwe's ruling party are expected to endorse a plan to extend Robert Mugabe's presidency until 2010 as they meet at their annual conference. " BBC Reports. 

I couldn't believe this when I watched this on TV and later read through BBC's report on Mugabe's actual endorsement to extend his rule. Zimbabwe used to be one of Africa's most prosperous lands and now it's falling into degradation and poverty. He's been ruling for 28 years. Now he wants to extend that to 30 years? Is he crazy? I'm sure he is ladies and gentlemen. 

He has done nothing for Zimbabwe and the people. Nothing. 

"He says he is the victim of a western plot to bring him down because of opposition to his seizure of white-owned land. "

Oh please - give me a break. Of course people would oppose it. His actions were completely racist in every form of the word. And thankfully we now live in a world it doesn't matter to which colour you are being racist - you cant be racist. 

I can't wait to see him out of power. Only then will Zimbabwe be able to rise.

Right, for those of you diligent followers of Paid Per Post, it might be welcoming to know that they actually have a blog in which they talk about all the latest news, day to day bloggers, updates and all that jazz! Right there on their own forum so you can be intouched and informed.

And trust me it's not just all work and no play! Their blog is pretty cool if I say so myself, and I can't help but going to go and check it quite often. You might find yourself becoming a steady addictor to this cool blog. Basically it talks about the daily going on's about PPP. It keeps you informed, so you don't have to go and source your information about PPP elsewhere. Isn't that fantastic? Go check it out!

For those of you who live in South Africa and have aspirations to write, I have to let you guys know about the most fantastic local site that was developed late last year. 

It's a site where you can write news reports, poetry, column reports and various other reports and actually get paid for it.

It's not much but if you wanna develop your writing and get published for it, then this is the site for you! The pay isn't amazing. But if you do a few reports a week you could bag R200 - R500 a month.

A gold tagged article gets R30.
A silver tagged article gets R20.
A bronze tagged article gets R10.

Go for it!

I know a lot of you don’t love Payperpost – but honestly, how can you not? You get paid to talk about products, things, you love and I’m going to do the same thing for Payperpost.

 

Since I’ve started on Payperpost, I’ve made about $277 and the only reason it’s that small is because since I’ve moved back to South Africa I’ve been struggling to actually get any online time. But that’s going to change.

 

I’ve realized what a reliable source of income this can become for me and I’m definitely not going to let it go now.

 

So join up! I know you want to.

You know you want to get paid to blog!
