Waiting to go home …

It is almost afternoon now and our friends had gone to do her research in the morning. We might go to Stone Heaven in the afternoon depending on the weather. Initially, we thought of going to a strawberry farm nearby but one of their friends changed their mind because they have something else to do. Well, what can we do when we are just followers? Another one and a half day we will be back to Basingstoke. We did not buy many things because there is nothing to buy actually; only some souvenirs like fridge magnets. However, I still need to buy some shortbread for my colleagues because I have not seen them for a week and they should all know that I am in Scotland.

Cisco Certified IT professionals

Most people say that the first job will often determine your future career. Somehow, it is quite true but does not really apply to my situation. Things changed drastically over the years for me. My first job was working as a System Support Executive. That had continued for about four years in three different companies, managing and supporting different systems which were being sold by the companies. However, my fourth job was administering network. Even though the title was still System Support Executive, but the job responsibilities were System Administrator’s.

After which, I had decided to come to the UK to further my studies in Microsoft Certified System Engineer and Cisco Certified Network Association with the aim to improve my knowledge as well as hoping to get a job after my studies. I am now in my fifth job as a MIS technician but the job’s role is more of Database Administrator and System Support. My decision to study MCSE was to put the bits and pieces in place from what I had learnt from my fourth job while I believe CCNA will be a great help in my future career as I will still explore in IT.

I would like to consider myself as experience IT support but I was not strong in networking and I must admit that Cisco certification is useful and most of the companies are using Cisco equipment. The different between obtaining a degree and a certified certification such as Cisco is various. Studying degree nowadays is essential but employers feel that the scope of teaching is too wide while certification will impress the employers as a better skilled candidate in regards to the type of jobs that you are applying.

After a tired journey …

We are back to Aberdeen now. My blog real ranks has dropped to 5000s as expected. I hardly had the time to update my blog while I was away. Most of the time, we would reach our hotel or guest house in the middle of the night and we were all tired and exhausted. And the next day in the morning, we had to get up and continue our journey. We had been to John O’ Groats, Orkney, Loch Ness, Glasgow, Edinburgh Castle and some other place which I will definitely blog about it after I get back to Basingstoke. Right now, I am using my friend’s laptop, have to be fast and give it back to her. Oh, by the way, we took lots and lots of pictures and at the end of the day, our cameras were low on battery.

SocialSpark is great for Mommy Bloggers

Since blogging with SocialSpark, I have to admit that I meet quite a number of incredible and great mommies who have put in effort in managing their blogs as well as trying to increase their earning in order to earn extra income. Sometimes, when I speak to my friends regarding blogging to earn money, they somehow do not really believe in me. However, once they signed up to SocialSpark and they have to admit that blogging really earn them extra money.

Some incredible moms out there have two or more blogs to maintain and I feel they are really great because after reading their postings, they handle both the families’ chores and blogs very well. One of the bloggers has been able to use the earnings from the blogs that she possessed to support her sisters’ study; one in college, and one is in high school. Part of her reasons is that she does not want to be a burden to her husband and she did it.

Thus, I do believe that there is nothing that you cannot do when you have determined to do well. SocialSpark is around the corner and it is truly a source to earn some extra cash and income to do whatever you like to do. The process is simple with just following the rules that are stated and get approved with the post. Paypal account is a must and the money will be transferred 30 days after the post has been approved. Previously, SocialSpark has not been made public but now, the good news is that anyone can join. Mommy bloggers definitely make the SocialSpark alive and better.

My feeling is just normal at the moment. We have not finished packing the luggage yet. Anyhow, we must get it done tonight.
