Before Buying Your First Domain Name

I don't want you to just throw your hard-earned money into something you don't fully understand and stuff you're getting into.

Just like buying your first domain name. Don't just buy a domain without considering this one thing in mind and what you will do with it that will help you and other people. Remember that you spend money to get it and choosing an out of this world name that no one can understand (only you) is a total waste of your money.

Pakiramdam Ko

Pakiramdam ko heto na
Hayag na sa akin ang tadhana
May mga anak na nga ang iba
Habang ako'y abala sa aking istorya

Naku-curious tuloy ako
Tignan ang Facebook page nila
Kitang-kita ang saya sa mga mata
Ang pag-ibig na di ko pa nadarama

My Birthday Thoughts - 2014

Today is my birthday and I'm proud to say that I'm 26 years old.

People tend to fake their age when asking of it. They're ashamed to let other people know about their real age. Maybe they just want to have fun by telling lies/jokes.

But for me, confessing your age is not a big deal. As a matter of fact, we must be proud of it because we reach that age.

Magkano Ang Iyong Nagagastos Sa Panonood Ng Sine

Napapansin ko nagiging magastos na pala ako sa panonood ng sine lalo na sa tuwing may pelikula si Sarah Geronimo. Ang pangalawang beses ay sapat at sobra na dahil ang isang ticket sa cinema house ay nagkakahalaga ng 180-190 sa SM Malls at 210-230 sa Ayala Malls.

Kung makakalima o maka-anim ka ay lagpas isang libo na ang nagastos mo. Iyon at iyon din naman ang mapapanood mo, inulit-ulit mo lang. Kung bibili ka rin naman ng original vcd or dvd kapag inilabas na sa mga record bar stores ay mainam na makuntento na lang sa isa o dalawang beses na panonood.

Requirements for Getting a Credit Card

To be specific, these requirements I will lay out here are for HSBC Classic Visa Credit Card. These are the requirements needed when getting one (Actually, this list is the general requirements for almost all credit card banks in the Philippines so you have nothing to worry about):

* ID - clear photocopy of front and back
  - Postal ID
  - Birth Certificate
  - Company ID

* Income - proof of income
  - Photocopy of recent Payslips (for 3 months) / Income Tax Return (ITR)
  - Certificate of Employment (COE)

Calamares (Fried Squid Rings)

Nakatikim ka na ba ng pagkaing Calamares? Ito ay pusit na ipiniprito sa kumukulong mantika at inilalako sa tabing kalsada (street food). Maamoy mo lang ito ay talagang mapapa-wow ka sa kakaibang aromang taglay nito.

Ako, sa tuwing maaamoy ko ito ay hindi ko maiwasang hindi huminto at langhapin ang amoy nito. Naaalala ko dati ang unang pagbili at pagtikim ko nito. Masarap sya kaya lang ang hindi ko lang nagustuhan ay pag kinakagat at nginunguya mo na ito. Ang kunat at kailangan ng ibayong pag-iingat lalo na tuwing nginunguya. Baka masira ang ngipin mo. Dalawang beses lang atang naulit ang pagkain ko nun dahil may nalaman ako.

Di Porket Love Team, Sila Na Ang Magkakatuluyan

Dati akala ko pag love team, sila na magkakatuluyan. Pero mali pala. Madalas ginagawa lang nila ang ganoon dahil iyon ang gusto ng tao..

Bibihira lang talaga yung nagkakatuluyan sa huli. Ako inaamin ko Sarah fanatic ako at may gusto akong makatuluyan nya dati. Ang Ashlloyd o Sarah-John Lloyd ay talagang malakas ang dating at hatak sa tao. Kakaiba kasi love team nila at umaapaw ang chemistry. Pero hanggang doon na lang siguro yun (sa pelikula) at hindi magkakatotoo. Ganoon din sa Ashco o Sarah-Coco. Ang ganda din ng tandem nila lalo na yung Maybe This Time. Ang lakas maka PBB teens ang chemistry nila.

Coffee Vendo Machine Which Did Not Materialize

I just want to share some photos of coffee cups which I planned to invest my money before but did not materialize because of some reasons. Here are the photos:

Barista Choi Empty Cup

Cafelo Empty Cup

The first picture is a product from Barista Choi. Their coffee including other flavors taste good. But when I was about to release my hard earned money, I read from other reviews that their machine is not good. There are some instances that you need to exert some force when dropping a 5 peso coin in order for the machine to give you your coffee because if you just drop it like a normal thing you do in a coin operated machine, your 5 peso will go for nothing. Another thing is any coins will do so dropping one into the machine (even tokens from game entertainment will do) will release some coffee in cup. I don't know if this is true but the fact that there are so many bad reviews about the product made me to contact the company. One of their staffs told me that there were some instances that those things happened but they already fixed it. But I wasn't convinced at that time because I experienced it on the spot in one of their machines. The owner (who is a business minded man) told me that when inserting a coin, I should need to exert a force in order for the machine to recognize it.

Di Pwede - My Original Composition

Hello mga kaibigan,

Sinubukan kong i-record ang isa sa mga original compositions ko. Eto ang kinalabasan.



Pasensya na kung hindi tapos yung kanta. Di ko namalayang ubos na pala ang memory ng camera ko. Babawi na lang ako next time tutal draft palang naman ito.

HSBC Credit Card's Mall Partner

I'm not sure yet if HSBC bank has a partnership or relationship with Robinsons mall specifically the Robinsons Appliances. Why I am saying this because I saw in my HSBC billing statement that they offer a monthly installment of some appliances, gadgets in the said store.

Kung Mataba Ako, Di Ako Magmo-motor

Bago ang lahat ay nais ko lamang na linawin na walang ibang layunin ang blog post na ito na i-discriminate ang mga matataba. Ang tanging dahilan kaya ko naisulat ito ay dahil lamang sa obserbasyon ko araw-araw. Halos lahat ng nakikita kong nagmo-motor ay yung matataba.

How Can You Ask For A Bank Loan If You're An Employee?

Recently, a guy asked for a credit-to-cash loan from one of the banks in the Philippines. This particular bank offers a special investment plan which making your credit limit (if you have a credit card) into a real cash depending on your need (whether 100% or not). The guy successfully received the money, charged it to his credit card and agreed to pay the 12 months installment. Along the way, another business has appeared and he wanted to fund it but the problem is he doesn't have extra money on hand. Thus, he considered the personal loan of the same bank he approached before. But another problem arose again. The company he works for doesn't pay taxes for their employees. Since, ITR (Income Tax Return) is one of the requirements, he can not give it to the bank because of the reason mentioned above. Another option is to provide at least 3 recent payslips, however, the bank will see on the paper that there were no contributions occurred as it is transparent. So what do you think this guy should do in order to finance the business he really wanted. He doesn't know what to do since he already checked out the site that offers a loan, www.lenddo.com.ph. Still, it asks for the same requirements.

Planning To Have A Bloggers' Conference This Year

I always read most of the time from other blogs that in order for you to be successful in one thing you are focusing your life to, you need to associate yourself with people who have the same dreams and passions as you. That's why I keep on asking my four friends who are into blogging to have a meeting or conference even once a month.

What is a Blog?

Literally web logs or blogs are online journals whose updates are frequent, sometimes even daily. Although some do not consider blog as having a definition other than the sense of what is stated, other more flowery definition of blog as written by some on the internet define blog as: “hierarchy of text, images, media objects and data, arranged chronologically, that can be viewed in an HTML browser,” or “a frequent, chronological publication of personal thoughts and Web links.”

Tips to Consider When Blogging

If you are new to blogs and blogging in general, here are some tips for you.

Tips to Blogging

No blogger on the internet is able to leave a log on it without the right tools and the rest of the process that follows is relatively simple.

The Right Tools

You already have a computer and a decent internet connection, but to blog, you are still missing something – the blogging platform. Although there are many blogging tools out there already and may still have continue to grow, none have had many users as a blogging platform up to this day than WordPress and Blogger due to its free services, with optional payments for a premium. Other notable blogging platforms include Squarespace, Tumblr, Xanga, and LiveJournal among others.

Make a Catchy Title

In this fast pace of living we’re having, people are more picky on what they read. Nothing attracts their attention more than a catchy title. Similarly, you would like to attract readers to your blog by using a catchy title.

Mga Bagay Na Dapat Ay Nagawa Ko Na

Ililista ko dito ang mga nakatenggang bagay na dapat ay nagawa ko na nang sa ganun ay magkaroon ako ng dahilan para tapusin ito:

• Nagplanong gumawa ng bagong blog tungkol sa anime to watch.

• Yung self-publish ko sanang tula na hanggang ngayon ay naka-save pa rin sa computer ko (gagawing mini-book).

• Magpopost sana ng article/lens sa Squidoo ng about "Kingdom Hearts". Naisulat ko na sa notepad at naka-save sa computer subalit tinamad akong i-publish sa site dahil humigpit sila sa article.

• Basahin lahat ng hubs at lenses (Hubpages & Squidoo) kung saan sinave ko ang urls sa notepad.

• Paano ba kumuha ng PAG-IBIG loan? May nagpapatanong kasi sa akin.

JobStreet: Log-in and Send out Resume

Do you use Jobstreet site whenever you are looking for new job or employer? I always use it since then. I visit the site without logging in and browse for preferred employers. Whenever I find one, I send out my resume to them but I noticed that most of them do not reply to my email account. They prioritize those who have an account in Jobstreet because after I logged in and repeated the steps, within that day, I received some job offers. This is for Philippines Jobstreet only.

Jobstreet is a site where applicants and employers meet. Applicants should register and create a profile, upload their latest resume and sell himself/herself in order to attract the attention of employers. While employers post their available jobs for all job seekers. I find the site very useful because I don't need to buy newspapers just to look for jobs or walk-in personally inside huge and tall buildings here in Metro Manila. Besides, it is difficult to browse the internet as it is so big and vast. It's very helpful to have a site like this. There are other sites that cater the same services (one of them is JobsDB).

I'm Getting Used To It: Undergo Lots Of Interview

Everyone undergoes job interview as they need it in order to survive. Money is not everything but we can't deny the importance of it. I'm getting used to undergo lots of job interview as you already know my story. I am a four-month jobless since September 2012. The reason was I just became curious and adventurous in making money online. What would be the feeling of giving my full time into earning money online? I tried it though I already earned money online while having a stable job. We all know that we have a desire of receiving money at home without the famous nine to five hours job. But I think I can not make it as my full time though I still earn money from it. I don't regret what I did, the important is I follow my heart's desire. No one can make you satisfied but yourself. Do what you think can make you happy for as long as you do not bring down other people or stamp on their reputation. Nothing can make you really contented but doing what you love. Others believe in love what you do but for some it is do what you love.

Opinyon Ko Sa Pelikulang 'Bakit Hindi Ka Crush Ng Crush Mo'

Grabe natuwa ako matapos kong mapanood itong pelikula na to. Akala ko dati baduy, siguro dahil na rin sa title at trailer na napanood ko. Nag-assume agad ako na parang mala Betty La Fea, babaeng panget na biglang gumanda. May ganitong pelikula ang Kathniel na ang konsepto ay parang ganito. Totoo nga palang maraming namamatay sa maling akala.

Bago ang lahat eh pakita ko muna ang trailer ng movie na ito:

Writing Is My Passion

What About You?

Do you have a thing that you enjoy doing even though you're not being paid for it? Meaning, you enjoy doing it in your free and spare time. You don't think of it as a work that must be done. Besides, whatever your situation or mood is, you will still do it. It doesn't matter what your passion is, whether it's singing, reading, speaking, watching, running, swimming or jogging, if it makes you whole and complete your day, then that it is. Continue doing what makes you happy and love it wholeheartedly just like the way you love yourself. Aside from getting improved on your craft, you will reap rewards someday.

My Experience Both In Squidoo And Hubpages

Introduction to Two Writing Platforms I Write

You found this article because you are looking for ways on how to make money through writing. I'm sure you already heard about these two writing platforms: Squidoo and Hubpages. In this article, you will learn my experiences in using both these sites and what I noticed being a lensmaster/hubber/writer. Feel free to scan and read it completely.

I will tell you a short story about myself being a writer in both of these platforms. I'm a lensmaster for more than 2 years in Squidoo. My total earnings there is 242.30 USD. You'll notice that my earnings are not that big if you see the lapse or duration before I reach that money. The way you earn there is through their tier system. Rank #1 is being the highest and get most of the money from the ad pool (Google Adsense). They have three tiers: tier 1, 2 and 3. The range of the rank in tier 1 is from 1 to 2,000 and the estimate money assigned to it is between $20 and $50. As for tier 2, the range is from 2,001-8,000 and the payout is between $1 and $19. While in tier 3, it is from 8,001 to 80,000 and the paid cash is cents. You can also earn by using their affiliate modules like Amazon, eBay and others. Whenever someone clicks on the product you feature on your lens/article, and buys that item or different one, you will still get a commission. Anyway, if you're the type of person who doesn't like to do/mind other things but to write and earn from writing, then Squidoo is the site for you.

I'm Writing Myself A Metrobank Deposit Slips In Advance

I decided to write myself a Metrobank deposit slips in advance with the following amounts:

- 10,000
- 20,000
- 30,000
- 40,000
- 50,000

I know you're thinking that I'm daydreaming coz these amounts are not ordinary or small amounts. I don't care what you think and you are free to say anything at my back. Call me crazy, it's okay. But one thing I can assure you, I will make these five (5) deposit slips be deposited into Metrobank before 2014 ends.

Sarah Geronimo And Gerald Anderson

I'm sure there are many people who do regret about this love team. Don't ask me but the Ashrald fans are those who are affected on this.

After the rumor broke out last year (2013) where Gerald and Maja became lovers when people knew he was pursuing Sarah, everything turned out cold. Ashrald's two movies, I think, are the first and last they have because Geronimo doesn't like the idea of working with people whom she had a special relationship. Remember the Saver, that's the example. =D

The supposed to be movie/the comeback team up of Sarah-Gerald with a tentative title of Finding Mr. Right or Love Takes Time did not materialize or push through instead there's a rumor that it would be replaced by Ashco movie.
