Missing Bacarrat 2008-03-07 16:36:57 At age 18, I got my own taste of the lifestyle of the rich and famous. Thanks to my old job and a seminar held in Waterfront Lahug. 3 days of living the good life lingers on even now.Every night, for 2 consecutive nights, I hang out at the Waterfront Casino Filipino. Normally, they only permit 21 years old and above but since I look older than my age, I managed to fool the guards.It was my first time to play the Bacarrat and I fell in love to it the fist time I sit on the stool and amass lots of chips. Bacarrat seems to be less complicated than any other table games and that's what made me love it.I won 10 thousand pesos that night and spent it all in pizza and booze with my hotel room mates.Sometimes, I have the urge to play Bacarrat but we have no casinos here to play on. Too bad.I tri Read more:Missing
Food Fetish 2008-03-04 08:32:36 No, I don't want to make love with someone covered with ice cream or chocolate syrup just like what Betty did to Henry on Ugly Betty. I don't want to make love with food either. (Geeze I sound like a pervert). I simply love food the same way I love, you know...I love pizza more than any other. Since we have no pizza parlors here in Maasin City, I like making them myself and I should say it tastes like Pizza hut. I love pan pizza more than any other.I still need to know how to make stuff-crust. HeheheCheck out BendzG for more blog entries.

Gain EntreCard Credits FASTER 2008-03-02 00:52:13 Proceed to Drop Site | Drop Even FasterYesterday, I launched EntreCard Hack, a page dedicated only to make it even Faster and Easier to Gain Entrecard Credits
or EC and even did a revamp on the way the sites are organized.Aside from the usual top fold requirements, only blogs/sites that loads no more than .5 of a second (image files not included) are included in the list with the exception of reciprocal droppers, a handful of Entrecarders who are active in the Entrecard Community Forums and reciprocation of drops.I have also dedicated a whole category of my blog solely for EntreCard Drop Optimization, (do I sound too cheesy?) so check it out.Click here to start Dropping | Click here to Drop Even Faster
Running Shoes 2008-02-26 22:21:31 I've been craving to buy a new running shoes cause I want to start jogging.

A sign that it would not be long until all my other body organs takes it toll too.Which brand would I get?Please Subscribe to this Blog to get on-time updates.
Boys Love Cars 2008-02-21 11:32:20 "I never owned one but would love to", that's what I wrote for my best car story on the dNeero survey. It's partly true.Maasin City is not that big. Every major establishments can be accessed by foot so a car would just serve as status symbol. But then again, who doesn't love status symbols?Boys love bling blings ^_~Please Subscribe to this Blog to get on-time updates.
Meeting Albert Camus 2008-02-20 22:35:46 Albert Camus
was famous for the quote "Life is the sum of all your choices" and I do not believe in God and I am not an atheist". He's an existentialist but he prefers not to be labeled as such. He devoted his life opposing the philosophy of nihilism, a position which argues that Being, specially past and current human existence, is without objective meaning, purpose, comprehensible truth, or essential value.Camus' first significant contribution to philosophy was his idea of the absurd, the result of our desire for clarity and meaning within a world and condition that offers neither.He was also a human rights champion who resign from his work to serve UNESCO.His works includes:Novels * The Stranger (L'Étranger, often translated as The Outsider) (1942) * The Plague (La Peste) (1947) Read more:Albert

The Amazing RSS Contest. 2008-02-13 21:32:16 There are lots of no-brainer contests in the blogosphere today that only involves an RSS subscription to e-mail. A lot of them offer amazing prizes.Since getting RSS through e-mail is somewhat annoying, I only choose the blogs that I would subscribe even without the reward.I have always wanted to know about the UK and their Royalty so this UK blogger, Chris Brandrick caught my attention.He's running a winning Wednesday contest where his subscribers get a chance to win a mystery prize every Wednesday. You just need to, well, subscribe to his RSS. (Wasn't I redundant?)Oh, did I mention he gives 100 EC for writing a similar post on your blog?Please Subscribe to this Blog to get on-time updates.

I Just Moved to BendzG.com 2008-02-12 10:22:38 since the title's font size is too small and I doubt anyone reads something I post here except FantasyBaseBall, Cecilia and Isel, I'd like to restate it again:I just moved toBendzG.comI just moved toBendzG.comI just moved toBendzG.comOfficially, this site is not a personal blog anymore but one that adopts the latest niche--blog contest blogging. From now on, I'll only feature sites running contests with really awesome prizes and not just EntreCard Credits.If you are running one, kindly e-mail me at bendzgerona@gmail.com.
20,000 EC Prize Give-Away 2008-02-11 19:55:02 Yah, I know. My latests posts are just about contests. There's just a lot of nice opportunities going so I joined in.TheVikingBlogger is cooking one up with upto 20,000 EC Prize. That's the biggest yet for Entrecard contests. Check here.This is a new site and I don't know if he really is Viking. I don't read "About Me" sections. Check him out.
The Noob's Giving Away Stuff 2008-02-10 16:35:56 The Noob is at giving away stuff again and this time, it's an iRiver PMP. It's actually a prize for a contest. I don't really know if he's gonna send it to me if I'm gonna win since I'm from the Philippines but I guess it's his problem. I just wish he won't exclude my entry just because of this fact.Bloggernoob is a make money site that has already made money, well, according to his past reports. I constantly visit this site to check on what he's gonna do next.Aside from the fact that his header is disturbing, the contents are informative, easily understood and sometimes, hilarious. He's had his share of typos too but it's pretty manageable considering he's a noob.

Blog Marketing 2008-02-10 08:27:22 There are just to essential elements needed for a successful blog. Content and Marketing
. You can't be successful if you just have one or the other. Your blog must have them both.You might be the best blogger in the blogosphere but still no one would subscribe to your your RSS for the simple fact the no one knows you have a blog. It's just like selling burgers. You might have a better tasting patty than that of McDonald's but if no one knows that your burgers exist, it's useless. This is where Search Engine Optimization and advertising comes in.I'm not yet an expert when it comes to this one so it would be better for me to refer you to a more credible source. It's one of the blogs that I frequently visit to know whether or not I'm doing my blog marketing right or not. Check out Diggitlive Read more:Blog Marketing
Wordpress Madness 2008-02-09 21:07:57 I'm starting to enjoy Wordpress
, now that I already installed new plug-ins and got accustomed with the way it handles my posts. However, I think there really is something wrong with my current theme. It's a free one and the designer didn't even bother posting how-tos so it's a huge pain in the ass to manipulate the theme. I have money no from last month's earning but I'm not sure I wanna pay for it since I feel like it's, well, crappy.I really aspire to have something like the Revolution Pro Media Wordpress Theme but I'm saving the money to get me an Asus eee PC so I can blog even when I'm at school. Looking at this eye-candy makes me drool.As I was dropping EntreCards today, I saw a contest down at TheSuccessSpace with this theme as its prize. You just need to post the contest on your bl Read more:Madness
PowerDropping.com 2008-02-09 16:53:27 A new website, PowerDropping.com was launched just hours ago that aims to make dropping 300 EC much easier by providing links to sites with widgets placed on top fold that also loads just in a fraction of seconds.Check them out now.Please Subscribe to this Blog to get on-time updates.
They're at it Again 2008-02-08 14:32:38 After last month's success, JoeTech and the gang are having it again.Same rules, and yes, they'll give you a hundred dollars if you win.To gain entries into the contest, just do any of the following:- Make a comment of value (not just "i agree", etc.) on a post = 1 entry (remember to comment on all blogs)- Subscribe to RSS via email = 2 entries (per blog you subscribe to!)- Write a post about the contest on your blog (must include a link to this page and the links below to participating blogs) = 25 entriesHow much easier can we make it? So you can sneak in with just one entry by simply posting a comment here, you can increase your odds by reading and commenting on a few more posts here and at one of the blogs below and maybe subscribe to a couple, or you can really up the odds and subscri Read more:Again
Tagging Time 2008-02-07 10:24:54 My blog/link farm (haha) has succumb to the practice of Tagging
which I first saw on JoanJoyce's blog 2 weeks ago. I should have jumped in to this had I practiced reading blogs when I drop my EntreCards.I bet this is the one they call the viral thingy (/me speaking sosy). Yah, I know I should make some research first before jumping into the bandwagon but since Joan seems to be a is a fellow Pinoy and most of the times Pinoys in the blogosphere are reputable. ^_~ This is much fun though since it's interactive. Why interactive? Well, it comes with a series of questions that are supposed to be called as meme (bat wrong spelling?). Again, I didn't make any research about this yet so don't expect me to give you details. Just type Google.com on your browser and look for the word meme.Here it is.
Can Your Cherry Pop By Being Fingered? 2008-02-06 01:32:29 I just finished troubleshooting my latest blog mounted on a Wordpress platform just 5 minutes ago after 10 painstaking hours of checking and rechecking every code in the installation files. I almost gave up and considered formating my root directory, for the 2nd time, just to deal with the flaw. My lack of technical knowledge on managing .css and .php files, including .htaccess, added to the burden. The problem simply involves my first post not showing up on the front page of the blog. I guess this is what you get when you start jumping off to another platform without prior knowledge of how it works. Who would have thought that Wordpress would be much complicated than Blogger when more than half of the blogging population uses it?I know someone who's an expert in this area, my cousin, but Read more:Cherry
Desperate Advertising Campaigns and Contests 2008-02-04 09:09:24 [This post is dedicated to Isel whose Birthday would be on the 14th. Check out her site, she's giving away 500 EC just for greeting her on her birthday. Yah, she's twisted!]Pictures Taken OffAre they really models?I have learned earlier on that in order to have a successful advertising campaign, you have to put your best foot forward, or, in the case of those who sell beauty products and sexy lingeries, their best face.You'll find lots mediocre ads like this everywhere and even the EntreCard Shop has its share. Take a look...When it comes to contests, this next one is my favorite. (hehe) It's amazing how lots of people fall prey to this spiel. I took a screen shot of the whole blog so just be patient and let the image load.I couldn't believe there are people who would fall for this!Please Read more:Desperate

Myopic Views 2008-02-04 08:43:02 The title is not figurative, I really have a myopic view. You can start calling me four-eyes.It was in Grade Four when I started wearing my first pair of glasses. It was supposed to be "correctional" yet somehow, my eyes are as stubborn as myself. I was 10 then and now that I'm 22, I already got used to the teasing.My introduction to the PC only worsen specially when I got hooked on On-line games. It's a wonder how my eyes stand my constant abuse.Anyway, I discovered Zenni Optical $ 8 Rx Eyeglasses as I was surfing trough the net. They have a line of reasonably prized prescription glasses starting at, well, 8 US Dollars. There are lots of frames to choose from and the best part is you don't have to wait in line just to get your spectacles, they'll just deliver it straight to your home.Try
I Don't Want an iPod Nano 3rd Gen. 2008-02-03 23:28:05 I have a phone that does all the tricks and I don't think it's gonna be useful either. I'd rather go for an iPhone or an iPod
Touch, cause they can handle Wi-Fi. iPods are over rated tese days as if it's the only MP3/MP4 player in the market.So why the hell am I talking about iPod?Well there is this contest run by MoneyBlogger and you know how eager am I in winning contests right? You just need to write something bout his blog and the contest to join.Moneyblogger, by the way, is one of those money blogs (isn't it obvious?) so you can try on check on he site if you want to earn some.I hope I win.Wish me luck.Please Subscribe to this Blog to get on-time updates.
I Found It! 2008-02-03 05:33:58 It's been 3 days now since I started obsessing about getting my own domain and shifting to Wordpress. Yep! Three long days and still I haven't found the sign I have been asking until 5 minutes ago.I was dropping off EntreCards when I cam across an SEO Blog. They are hosting this contest with a Premium Wordpress Theme as its prize and 400 EC.The 400 EC is just icing on the Premium Blue Wordpress that I am currently craving for (If he choose me as a winner. I hope he will.). So you know, I'm a die hard blue fanatic. My current theme is just orange because I don't know how to manipulate XML.I wonder why there is only one entry, as of the moment. Perhaps some are just blind and can't see how amazing the Premium Blue Wordpress theme is.Dnseo.net is not just about Wordpress theme, I must tell y

He does tell people how to make money and he also tells them what he eats.Yeh big deal, John!
Never Run Alone 2008-03-20 09:29:33 Technology may soon make it possible to run with a jogging partner even when he or she is in another city. Researchers at Australia's University of Melbourne and Commonwealth Scientific and Research Organization (CSIRO) have developed the "Jogging over a distance" system that uses mobile phone and GPS technology as well as custom software to transform a phone conversation into 2D audio experience. GPS data is collected by a miniature computer worn in a close-fitting backpack and transmitted to each jogger's headset so they can hear their partner's voice behind, beside or in front, depending on their relative speed.
First Blog Nostalgia 2008-04-05 08:47:52 Hey guys! I'm back!heheh not really. I was just checking my first blog out.
