What I want for Christmas...

Today is October 7, still quite early to make a Christmas wish list but not a bad idea to get started now. Anyway, I can always use the edit button to change or add what's on my list which will have the following:

1. A simple smartphone if ever there is one. I don't care for smartphones that are overloaded with stuff I don't need or promise to do a lot of things except feed my cats.

2. An online security camera that is small and easy to maintain. I still wish I could have the BrickHouse Security 017-CAM4-USB.


3. An electronic scooter that will do the balancing and driving for me :)

4. A calf massager. This is a necessity.

5. A DSLR that doesn't intimidate.

6. New good DS and Wii game titles like Just Dance 2 because the old ones are less fun to play now.

7. A mechanical ball thrower for my dog. The one in photo is the GoDogGo automatic tennis ball launcher and fetch machine that costs $119.99. My dog could use this on days when I'm not available to play with her.



8. A toy aquarium for my cats because they need entertainment, too.

9. A huge 3D LED TV, why not?!!!

10. A really fast and no downtime broadband service.

11. An intelligent car that can help me park, can detect the status of my tires, etc. without me having to look because I usually don't know what I should be looking for.

Okay, I think I can't go on any further because it gets unrealistic as I add more items. If only money grows on Christmas trees, then I can have all these even before the holidays roll around.

Google Adsense Account Disabled

I hit a speed bump in my blogging because Google disabled my Adsense account. Although it's not the main reason why I am blogging, I won't deny that I love seeing some ads in my site as it make the page appear busier and active. I was religiously blogging and happily watching "My Stats" that told me I was being read in many parts of the world already. But that was true only until the day Google decided I was a cheat and therefore they should confiscate my meager $25 earnings.

I was so disheartened and appealed my case but Google said: "After reviewing our records, we've determined that your AdSense account poses a risk of generating invalid activity. Because we have a responsibility to protect our AdWords advertisers from inflated costs due to invalid activity, we've found it necessary to disable your AdSense account. Your outstanding balance and Google's share of the revenue will both be fully refunded back to the affected advertisers."

That really sucks and I really felt like I was being crushed by a giant. But no amount of despairing would help and I miss blogging, so, with some reluctance I type this piece to hopefully get me back in the saddle, even without Adsense around.
