Cards
2008-04-08 09:29:04
What comes into your mind when you hear the word, "cards"? I think of playing cards when I hear it. But when I hear someone say "card", I think of my ATM card. Funny how those two words just differ with just one letter. I used to play cards with my neighbors back when we were still children. My father would catch me playing cards and then spank me. I always feared my dad's hand. But when I think back on it, I realize that he was just trying to keep my from straying just like the kids I used to play with. At first it was just for fun, but as we grew, I noticed that they were putting money into each game and I almost got hooked too. The kids that I used to play cards with are so different from when we were just innocent kids. I grew up, went to college, got my degrees, and now on my way to g

I Need To Get Away
2008-04-09 16:33:33
Yes, it's true. After slacking off on posting on my blog, I have come to a point where I must leave it in the air and just simply ignore it. Honestly, as much as I would love to keep on posting and posting and enhancing my writing skills, if I have any, I would do so. But right now is just not the time to indulge myself. I have to inject myself a HUGE dose of self-discipline and sacrifice what I love for something else that I don't like until next month.To know more about what, just check out my entry at the other blog. This links you to Miss Wilhelmina. It's barely a few days old and I'm abandoning it so easily. It's got a bunch of personal stuff about me there, so check it out if you want to know why I'm going away. I have a special favor to ask my readers also and I put it there. Thank
Make Money With Your Blogs
2008-04-23 18:34:00
Pretty soon right after the exams that I have been talking about over and over again on this blog, I will be writing about how you can make money off the blog that you are using/writing on.This will include details on getting paid for posting on your sites, doing surveys, even get paid with Paypal even if you don't have a credit card. But be wary, the last one will only be good enough for people in the Philippines.I'm no expert in getting a lot of traffic, so I'm afraid I won't be able to discuss that. Anyway, keep checking back just in case I post again.

The Forbidden Kingdom Review
2008-04-22 06:34:41
Quite a few posts back, I said that I'm going to watch the movie even if I have to go all alone. And I did. Watching a movie all by your lonesome is no fun, but that depends on you being used to being lonely. And I am pretty much very used to doing things alone. But really, I had things to do that day and wasn't expecting to be done with it so quickly. Ok, I was totally ignoring the main character, which I supposed was the white guy, whom I've never even seen before. He was nerdy-looking in my opinion, or maybe he could've looked better in other movies or shows, I just didn't care about him. I went to watch the movie because I wanted to see Jet Li and Jackie Chan.Anyway, so what do I think about it? Well, it wasn't the kind of movie that would compete with stunts from the Spiderman and Mis

First Step to Site Monetization
2008-04-26 00:19:58
If you want to go with the "trend" of earning online, then there's plenty of us doing that right now. It's just a matter of how you are going to pull it off so you can generate the most income out of your time on the Web. I mentioned previously in another entry that you would need a site to start off. A blog is actually the easiest site to start because of the following factors:1. Blogs can be started free-hosted2. All you need to know is how to write3. Templates are always available anywhere on the Web for freeTo start off, get yourself a blog. There are a number of free-hosted blogs out on the Web right now. The top two free-hosted blogs right now are1. Wordpress2. BloggerErrr, they aren't exactly the only free-hosted blogs on the Web. There's also MySpace, Friendster and Xanga. But I'm

The NOT So Talented Mr. Montano?
2008-04-25 22:27:47
The NOT so talented Mr. Montano? It seems that Mr. Brian Gorrell had changed his blog's title. This one is much much more appropriate. I wouldn't imagine calling my ex "talented". He'd be too flattered. I'll admit, he was talented in some things, but not in anything good. Well, not in anything good for the human soul, at least.Look at the transition:From this,To this,Anyway, Mr. Gorrell seems happier now. Not that he has money back, but because of the onslaught of support coming from all over the world through his blog. According to him, he has been receiving reports about the whereabouts of his ex-lover from special people and even one of Mr. Montano's relatives.People, don't think I'd wanna hear anything about my ex anymore. I've already told everybody to stop asking me about how he is.
Monetizing Your Site
2008-04-25 01:21:19
How exactly do you earn via the Internet, aside from your numerous businesses in real life, etc, etc, etc?Well, if you spend more than a couple of hours on the Internet, doing nothing but trolling the Web for the latest gossip on Britney, why not make good use of that wasted time and earn while at it, right?I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who thought of this, and I'm probably 10 years too late at this, but there are still more people out there who don't know how to monetize their time on the Internet. And no, I won't be asking you for money for this information. But if you really insist, who am I to say no? :PAnyway, what you need to have before you can actually start monetizing your time are the following:1.

And yes, it's the fifth of the blogs that I am reviewing for today. I have no guarantee that I will be reviewing more again tomorrow. Who knows? And no, I'm not getting paid for these blog reviews. This is an opportunity for me to be able to have something to write about on my blog.So I troll the Web again to find more money making sites and I found Anarchist

. Don't ask me why that is the blog's title, I'm not the blogger himself. Anyway, the blog was actually one of the most unique ones I've seen so far. There were a lot of moving stuff on there. Lots of marquees. I could very well say that the layout is fairly clean and that he used marquees to make sure that the links weren't scattered.I enjoyed One Door, Two Rooms, Three Lightbulbs.

Make Money With a 14-year-old
2008-04-27 05:02:03
Holy scattered ads! So I search for money-making blogs and then I come up with Make Money
Online. I was gonna wait for a few more posts before I start talking about sponsored posts, but if you check out the blog, that's when you can really say that the posts are really, really sponsored. Sponsored by Adsense, that is. Hmmm, I'd really love to flaunt all my ads out there for everyone to see, but not like on that site.As I continue to read up on what information this site has for me, I checked out his most recent posts until I came across his Brought a New Car post. I thought, "Oooh, I'd love to be able to buy a new car someday.". Turns out he really didn't buy a car, but they got a loan car instead from an insurance company. I have no idea how rebates work, but well, he says the car is a "m
The World Is Yours Now!!!
2008-04-27 04:45:07
In my quest to find other blogs that might help me in learning about opportunities online and how to effectively benefit from them, I came across The World
Is Yours
Now. It's actually a blog that talks about how you can do better with finance and how to find opportunities that would later on be quite beneficial to the the seeker.I found one of the blogger's posts that quite peaked my interest. It's about tips on getting a higher Page Rank or gaining it back again after getting a Page Rank drop. I know I haven't talked about PR on my blog yet, but we will come to that. The blogger made some very interesting points about PR and I might actually apply some of those tips. Now I'm off to read some more from the said blog, so should you. If you're into site monetization, this site can really gi
Thoughts of a Blank Mind
2008-04-27 04:42:20
I was kinda procrastinating from writing up the next entry about site monetization, because frankly, my ind just went blank. It seems that these things needed to be planned ahead before I actually post. So readers, look out for the next entry.Well, speaking of blank minds, I came across Blank Mind of Treizie. The blog author is a fellow Filipina who has dedicated her site to her son, Treizie. Cute name. I'm guessing he's gonna be called Trei with an American accent because his mommy is a home-based call center agent too. I just realized Treizie could be pronounced as "Tracy".Anyway, as I looked through her blog, one particular entry caught my eye. It was the Browsing The Net While Reading A Novel post. How can you browse the net while reading? And a novel at that! At first, I just thought
Eccentricity Over the Net

And just when I thought there could possibly no one else who's crazier than moi, I come across PC's are on the interweb now?. It seems that the ones moderating this blog like wasting away. But then again, what self-proclaiming insane tech doesn't? :)What I love about this site though is the "super sexy" layout. *Chuckles* These guys are funny, if you really read what they're writing. I'm positive I've seen a layout similar to it. It was a Wordpress layout. This site probably had that layout first then the mods just tweak the CSS to get it the way they wanted it. Kudos to those guys. They did an excellent job at it.I enjoyed reading Billztard and the epic apache problem, it was about one of the authors trying to get into the World of Warcraft website so that he can pay for his game subscrip
Monetizing Blogger
2008-04-26 23:50:22
Blogger is probably the easiest blogging platform to monetize. Why? Basically because it's Google-powered and it has page elements that make it easy for you to customize your blog, as well as an Adsense page element.Now for the blog super-newbie, from GoogleGoogle AdSense is a fast and easy way for website publishers of all sizes to display relevant Google ads on their website's content pages and earn money. Because the ads are related to what your visitors are looking for on your site — or matched to the characteristics and interests of the visitors your content attracts — you'll finally have a way to both monetize and enhance your content pages.It's also a way for website publishers to provide Google web and site search to their visitors, and to earn money by displaying Google ads on

Chillaxin' and Being Ranked
2008-05-02 07:02:24
Some people have been wondering why this blog is called Chillaxin'. It's a word made up of two words: Chill and Relaxing. Basically, I like doing both. Hence, Chillaxin'. Actually, I do it more than anything else. So I guess you can call me a bum then. I'm a lazy person. Haha.Anyway, a lot of Filipinos don't know what that means, but a lot also does. Unfortunately, almost everyone that I know don't know the word. Right now, I really shouldn't be chilling out and relaxing. I have big bad exams coming up in less than a week, man. But yeah, I'm supposed to be doing my laundry now, but someone beat me to the laundry area. So here I am again, chillaxin'. I noticed that this blog finally got up from being unranked to getting PR0.

All right, so this blog is waaay overdue in the "Monetizing

Now that I'm finally done with school, I shouldn't feel the pressure of going back to school. But as I walked around town yesterday, I noticed that everyone's been fussing over how many notebooks to buy, what kinds of pens they should get, and even contemplating whether or not they should get a new bag.I remember when my mom and dad would take me school supply shopping.

PC or Mac?
2008-06-05 11:04:48
If you were to choose, which one would you actually prefer? I'm more used to using the PC since it's what most stores sell here in the Philippines, as well as what most Filipinos use. I actually subscribed to Apple's newsletter and think that their new gadgets are really nice to look at, but hte price is not so nice to the common consumer. So, how about you? PC or Mac? Anyone?
