topher Michael Richardson
, you finally got it out! I've heard about three versions of the song already, and was not expecting the actual recorded version to turn out to be well, good, in my taste. I don't really know when or if I'll get tired of the song, but this song can stick to you, because the melody's so easy to sing along with. He has sung this song on a couple of different occasions and when he did, The Richness were always spazzing at how he liked changing the arrangement of the song. Really, must he do that all the time? Doesn't he know that his loyal fans get all crazy when he does that and even crazier when he does things like post pictures of himself on MySpace? I mean, look at those aviators! Umm, sorry, rambling now, hahah. Anyway, go check out Chris Richardson's M
I Just Got Into PayPerPost! 2008-03-14 10:49:29 Finally!!! After three times of trying to get into PayPerPost
, they finally approved my blog. Yes, I said it right. Three @$%@% times, people. Ok, so why did I even want to get into PayPerPost? Simple, the site's name says it all. You post, they pay per post. But if you actually are a reader of mine, you would know that not all my posts are all about money talk.I enjoy blogging. Through blogging, I met some blog enthusiasts who like talking about blogging as well. This blog used to be just a place where I ranted about stuff, but all that's in the past now, and then I started blogging about anything that I can find, or anything that I have something to say about. I heard about PayPerPost from one of those blogger friends, so I figured, since I like what I'm doing right now, why not make som
Bloggers' Mini EB in Cebu! 2008-03-14 10:43:40 EB - an acronym for Eye Ball, a slang term used to describe meeting up for the first time. Only Pinoys use this term. :PMy online blogger friends and I have decided to meet up for the first time tomorrow, March 15, 2008, Saturday at 3:00 PM at a coffee shop. We're gonna be talking about Search Engine Optimization, on how to get more traffic, make money online, and of course, making new friends is already part of the package.I met these bloggers from a forum that I frequent, like everyday frequent, and well, after chatting up a little too much in one of the most popular threads on the site, we got motivated enough to start blogging and updating as much as we can. Rodel and I have already met up a couple of times, and I must say, he has been quite useful in supplying my knowledge about getti
Hungry for Some Schooling 2008-03-18 06:10:38 Not schooling like going through Mathematical stuff again. Trust me, I'm so done with Math, even if I love it. But yeah, surfing through the Internet for some food led me to this site for culinary schools and made me start wondering if I could actually do good in trying to cook up something.At one point in my life, I did want to go to chef school just to learn how to cook. And not just learn how to cook, I'd also want to know how nutritious the food I'm cooking is. It's not like I can't cook, I'm just saying that if I went to a culinary school, I might be able to do better than anyone I know and well, probably start my own restaurant. There's nothing better than the feeling of cooking your own food and can actually be good at it.I love food, can you tell? Sometime in the future, I will hit Read more: Hungry

Being In Love - Part 4 2008-03-17 23:01:36 "I really like you." Online Buddy says."Huh? Why?""I don't know. You're different. You laugh at my bad jokes and you're funny.""I like you too. When you make your bad jokes, my jokes actually become decent."A pause. He probably was snickering on his end. Or giggling."I just wish you didn't have a BF.""Why?""Because I think I'm falling in love with you." And just as fast as he typed it, he apologized. For the past couple of weeks of talking to him, he has been the shoulder that I leaned on. I never told anyone that I knew personally about how miserable I was with ex, except him.I figured that since he wasn't in the country and that he and I were pretty much anonymous to each other, I poured my heart out to him. By this time, I already knew how he looked like. He looked like he was 16, alway
Working Out Hurts 2008-03-17 21:17:39 I'm a health freak, but only do exercises whenever I feel like it, or when I find spare time to do it.Last Sunday, I was bored out of my mind and didn't want to write the articles that I needed to, so I picked up my brother's 12.5-pound dumbbell and started working out with it. The dumbbell had a total of 7.5 pounds on it, but the bar was as heavy as five pounds.I did core strengthening exercises with it, which also strengthened the legs at the same time, some triceps exercises, chest exercises ans of course, some butt exercises. After half an hour of working out, cooling down exercises had to be done, and I was sweating so much that three tall glasses of water weren't enough.I was so pooped out, my eyes were shutting on their own. I had about nine hours of sleep, but apparently it wasn't
Being In Love - Part 3 2008-03-17 05:33:47 Well, I thought she and I were going to be friends, she even sent me friend requests on MySpace and Friendster, but who knows, maybe she just wanted to snoop on my profiles, but I don't really give out information about myself like that, especially on the Internet. Oh well, like I really care. I have a far better life without him and her in my life. A much much better life.Oh and just in case one or both of them ever see this, I hope you two have really cute and smart children. You know, like how both of you are; so smart, talented and very attractive, right?Anyway, Shallow Wil started paying close attention to herself. She hated it when pimples would suddenly start popping out, or she always had her hair checked, she made sure her skin was always clear and she even started using lip gloss
Being In Love - Last Part 2008-03-20 10:18:11 When I'm not doing anything in particular and we're both online, I'd ask him if I could see him. He was never hesitant to show himself. I would then poke fun at how he looked. If it were anybody else, I would be all nice and say that he or she's good-looking.For almost two years now, I am still smitten by this man. When it's before my bedtime here and during his days off from work, I would ask him to turn his cam on and tell him to open his eyes more, since he has such small eyes that they look closed almost all the time. And when he would, I would see if they would change colors with the light. He has very green eyes that even the crappy quality of his cam can't hide and they are so bright that you wouldn't be able to ignore them even if you wanted to.Between the two of us, I've always gi
American Idol - March 19 Top 11 Results 2008-03-20 04:57:45 This week's elimination round will determine who will get to join the American
Idols Tour. That must suck big time for this week's "loser". Let's start the recap.In the future shows, the Idol contestants will have mentors to help them with the competition and they will be Dolly Parton, Mariah Carrey, Andrew Lloyd Webber, and Neil Diamond. The songwriting contest has also been announced. So whoever's got skills in songwriting better step up, because your song might be the next American Idol
single.So last week the Idol contestants did their first group song together, and I pretty much didn't even bother listening, because frankly it just didn't register too well with me. I'm still trying to forget the mess they made. Honestly. And this week was no different. Sorry Idol contestants. Maybe yo Read more: March
American Idol - Beatles Week 2 2008-03-19 07:27:38 It's American
Idol day again. Performance nights are Tuesdays in the US and Wednesdays in the Philippines, but well, I got friends in the US that like to update me and also like to spoil stuff for me, so I might as well blog about it and tell everyone. The Idols sang Lennon-McCartney songs again, and some did well, and some didn't do too well.Rocker nurse Amanda Overmyer went first and sang "Back in the U.S.S.R.". It's either I was too young or wasn't born yet when this song was written. Umm, a little scared for the nurse. Too much talent on this show.Kristy Lee Cook went next and sang, "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away". Ummm...ok... I hope she goes home. Guess the only thing she's good at is "Amazing Grace". And is that a little skin I see, Ms. Cook? Let's see how far some skin can get Read more: American Idol

The Talented Mr. Montano 2008-03-19 06:54:13 The Talented Mr. Montano. That is Brian Gorrell's blog which basically sums up how he lost all his life's savings to his ex-boyfriend, Filipino "socialite" DJ Montano, whoever he is.I cannot believe I actually missed this piece of scandal had not Rodel posted a link to Brian Gorrell's blog for it. I mean I already knew that there are a ton of Paris Hiltons in the world, but unlike Paris Hilton, the guy being accused on the said blog isn't as rich as Paris Hilton. The Heiress is The Heiress, but this guy is accused of being a thief, a scammer, and well, the traditional Filipino money-grubber that rips off foreign nationals who are in love with them. Paris Hilton is just rich, shallow and whatever, but this guy is all of Paris Hilton, and that he steals. Paris Hilton doesn't need to steal. T
Reserve Where You're Staying 2008-03-19 06:21:27 Traveling is such a hassle especially if you do not know where you are going to be staying. That is what hotel reservations are for. Nowadays, if you go online, you can find thousands of hotel reservation sites to help you book your stay at. No matter what country you are in at the moment, you will still be able to book it.If you are going to a particular city, all you have to do is visit the hotel reservation site, input the city in the empty field, your expected Check-in date as well as your expected Check-out date. If you are a business man or woman, it's tough if you don't have anything planned out on your trip, right? Now we wouldn't want your plans to get all screwed up.What's interesting about these hotel reservation sites is that you can avail of hotel discounts also. Now who doesn Read more: Reserve
Being In Love - Part 5 2008-03-19 02:52:01 A few days later, Online Buddy asked me to be his girlfriend. There was this couldn't-help-but-smile moment. And I said yes. I figured he couldn't do anything to hurt me since he was overseas.Still hung up on the ex, I focused all my energy into forgetting the ex and drowning myself with Online Buddy's attention. I'd ask him if he could stay until I fall asleep, so I won't have time in between being asleep and awake to think of ex. He worked during the night, so we basically had the same bedtime. He's about 12 hours behind.I felt so sorry for him. He stuck with me even though he knew that I was still hung up on ex. I wanted to let go of him, because it was being unfair to him. But I couldn't. He was the only thing I looked forward to everyday and I couldn't bear not hearing from him.It too

Not Dating
? These two continue to confuse their fans or anybody in the Music Entertainment scene. There's been way too many photographed evidences of them together, including their snuggle fest in Paris, their little pool encounter, and umm, Rihanna being on the set of Jordin Sparks' No Air while it was being filmed. If that wasn't looking over her boyfriend, then I don't what that is. They have matching star tattoos at the back of their necks, but then again, tattoos can be removed anytime you want now. Britney Spears had the tattoo at the back of her neck removed, didn't she?Anyway, Chris and Rihanna keep on insisting that they are not dating each other, and that they are both single. Commitment issues, maybe? Rihanna, 20, Read more: Chris Brown

Know her story and if you may, please leave messages of support by signing her guestbook.That's what I wrote on the Special Announcement section of the The Richness website. I'm supposed to be the one maintaining it, but due to my busy schedule and not being in the U.S. gets me out of the loop more than I already am. Anyway, the website needs some work, but I'm not going to be talking about that right now.Amanda has been updating her site all on her own, until she has gotten so weak that she can't do it anymore. Even so, she finds a way to write on her own, but right now, her fingers are so raw from all
American Idol - March 26 Top 10 Results 2008-03-26 22:24:01 On my last American
Idol entry, I suggested that it's either Chikezie or Ramiele Malubay going. I was only half right. Only Chikezie made the Bottom 3.Next to get called on is Brooke White. She can't go in the Bottom 3, so she's safe. Carly Smithson is up, she's also safe. David Archuleta is also safe, but I'm starting to think that he's getting less and less versatile. Seems that ballads suit him more than anything, but you can't just do ballads all the time.And then it was David Cook. You have got to be kidding if he was in the Bottom 3. And he wasn't. He's safe. But Syesha Mercado isn't. She's in the Bottom 3 with Chikezie. What, with last night's performance? Tsk, tsk, tsk...Michael Johns is also safe! He can't be in the Bottom 3 with a performance like that. No way.Ok, so the Top 10 p Read more: March

American Idol - March 25 80's Night 2008-03-26 08:10:38 Looking at this year's contestants, I'd say that they are pretty young, even Michael Johns, who's almost 30 (or is he 30 yet?) looks young. So tonight was 80's night and the Idol finalists are all competing to be the next American
Idol and don't have to worry about getting to go to the Tour anymore.First was Filipino-American Ramiele Malubay with "Alone". Such a tiny little girl with a big voice. To be honest, She's starting to bore me. But if I were in the U.S., I'd probably be voting for her. Filipinos are like that.Jason Castro sang with his guitar again tonight with "Fragile". Ok, so I haven't been watching AI as much as I used to last season, but I finally noticed the John Travolta likeness. I do not even know what to say about him right now.Syesha Mercado sings "If I Were Your Woman" Read more: March

Getting Cash in Advance 2008-04-01 07:39:04 Are you stuck in a rut? Do you need emergency funds? Well, I was needing some actually, so I went on the prowl to look for something that could help. But like I'm actually going to apply for anything online. First of all, I just finished school, never worked in a legitimate company and I do not have any savings at all. In short, I am a super bum.Well, I found this one site on cash loans, where all you have to do is fill out a form on line and then they match you with a payday lender online right away. And since it is an online process, those lenders should get back to you right away and if you are lucky enough to get approved, all you have to do is wait and then the lender will make the money that you need available to spend on the next business day, but this is for most lenders.The lender Read more: Advance
Depression Sinking In 2008-03-31 09:44:35 In the Philippines, a lot of people do not know if they are depressed or not. You just find out right after you die or when something really bad happens and then you finally get yourself checked out to see if there is something wrong with you.I did some reading about it, and well, some of the symptoms say that I might have some mild depression. Thing is, I don't have enough resources to get myself checked out, which is why a lot of people are so unaware of actually having it themselves. Because a lot of people can't afford it, they risk themselves.Right now, I have been pretty much going on a downward spiral. Like most women, I am pretty moody, but lately, I've been feeling like getting rebellious. I guess the pressure of being the eldest child and that high expectations are wearing out on
Top 15 Overexposed Celebrities 2008-03-30 05:42:38 When you are just starting out in your career in the Entertainment scene, you need as much buzz as you can get, right? But what if you get a little bit too much press exposure? Would you want it? Sad to say, those who get the most exposure in this business are the ones who are more known because of how they act and not because of their talents in entertaining. Here are the top 15 overexposed celebrities of 2007 according to Forbes. Average celebrities only get 2% or 3% overexposure ratings*. These celebs are way over that.1. Britney Spears Overexposure rating: 72% No surprise there. She was once the most sought-after young artist, and her musical talent was once praised by the whole world. She was all over the press for being such a good role model, but that was ten years ago. No Read more: Celebrities
American Idol - April 2 Top 9 Results 2008-04-02 23:05:11 I am not such a fan of Yahoo! for it spoiling everything about tonight's show on American
Idol. Don't they know how many people have them as their homepage? Never mind me, I'm just a nobody. Looks like Yahoo! would like some traffic too. As if being homepage of millions and millions of people online isn't enough.Some radio stations have been wondering why none of the Idol contestants covered Dolly Parton's "9 to 5". It was supposedly Chikezie Eze's song choice, but seeing that he is off the show now, and that everyone was pretty much contented with their song choices, nobody took the song. And now we see why. "9 to 5" was tonight's group song.Michael Johns, David Archuleta, and Carly Smithson were then called safe.Next was the Q and A... Umm, I skipped this. The Top 9 performs "9 to 5". I Read more: April

There are plenty of sites that offer services for both advertisers and bloggers. They generally connect advertisers to bloggers. One of these sites is Smorty.com. Advertisers and bloggers sign up with Smorty, advertisers then advertises through Smorty, then Smorty posts these opportunities for the bloggers to write about.Advertisers get buzz about their products via blog advertising. Bloggers can write their own opinions about the products being advertised and will get paid for it.

songbook.Brooke White opens the show with "Jolene". I love her, but really, it's becoming the same over and over again. I need something new from her, but then again, who knows, she might win.David Cook, after dominating the past weeks with his performances and controversies, did a cover of "Little Sparrow". Tonight, he acknowledged the songwriters that he borrowed his arrangements from, including Doxology's rendition of "Eleanor Rigby". Something different about him tonight... Shocks! He got rid of the "over-comb". I like the new hair.Ramiele Malubay, who totally sucked the past couple of weeks, did "Do I Ever Cross Your Mind".

Criss Angel Flies 2008-04-05 13:26:57 I have never heard of Criss
Angel in my entire life, until one day I was on The Richness Forums chatting with my loves, Pinkislove00 and Storie, and Pink talks about Criss Angel
. I was like, "Criss who?". Then I found out that he's an American with Greek lineage illusionist. The only American illusionist I knew was David Blaine. I'll never forget the illusion he made with taking his heart out. Sick. Poor Carson Daly was cringing. I did a little research and well, turns out David's more of an endurance master rather than an illusionist. Criss Angel, however, just amazes me. Seriously.
