Chillaxin' and Being Ranked
2008-05-02 09:59:00 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. Waaaa. Nothing to be happy about, but then again, it's better to see a PR0/10 than unranked. Let's just hope my talents are enough to help me pass the upcoming exam.I'm so wrecked right now, I actually went back to nail-biting. Ew, gross. My right ind... More About: Personal , Surveys
Anarchist Philosophy
2008-04-27 12:05:00 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 Philosophy . 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. The post was about a puzzle involving three light bulbs. Hop on over to the site and see if you can actually solve it. I know I had a little hard time with it. You might actually do better on it than I did.
Make Money With a 14-year-old
2008-04-27 11:49:00 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 "musitibi lancer".Yeah, a Musitibi Lancer. Check him out if you want. :) More About: Make Money , Year
Thoughts of a Blank Mind
2008-04-27 11:28:00 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 that she could just probably be talking about a novel online, then I started reading and then realized that it was an actual book that her bf gave her which he bought from the National Book Store...

Eccentricity Over the Net

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 subscription, but unfortunately, there was a server problem on the end of Blizzard, so he calls up tech support, and well, it was a funny call. He might've been pretty p*ssed when he called, but the...
The World Is Yours Now!!!
2008-04-27 10:34:00 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.

Monetizing Blogger
2008-04-27 06:11:00 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 the search results pages. Get it? If you had a site, even a free-hosted blog such as this one, you can be a publisher of their ads and earn money through it. I haven't cracked the Adsense code ye...

First Step to Site Monetization
2008-04-26 05:28:00 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.

The NOT So Talented Mr. Montano?
2008-04-25 12:31:00 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. I don't know and frankly, I don't give a flying ****.

2008-04-25 07:03:00 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.

The Forbidden Kingdom Review
2008-04-22 09:54:00 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 Mission Impossible movies. Those stunts are very thought of and they used weapons. In The Forbidden Kingdom , all the action was pure martial arts, in short, you don't fake any of it. Sure, you ... More About: Entertainment , Review , Forbidden Kingdom
I Need To Get Away
2008-04-09 23:27:00 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 you all.

Cards
2008-04-08 16:11:00 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 getting a license. The kids I used to play with are now fathers without wives, mothers without husbands, and junkies, except for a few. Looking back now, I guess I didn't grow up in such a good ne...

Criss Angel Flies
2008-04-05 20:06:00 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. Getting rolled on by a steamroller, hit by a car through a block wall, walking on water, getting cut in half by a 4-foot saw, and even getting nailed into a coffin which was shredded in a wood chipper with him inside and surviving it. I was shaking after I saw the last video. He's a Mindfreak, alright! He didn't get out of that coffin, the coffin got shredded, and you can even see the "blood, crush...

American Idol - April 2 Top 9 Results
2008-04-03 05:20:00 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 kinda wish one of them took the song as their song choice. They all sounded better singing this song. Looks like Simon loved it too, he was smiling from ear to ear. Michael Johns looked like...

Get Paid to Blog
2008-04-02 13:26:00 If you enjoy blogging, I'm pretty sure you are going to enjoy it even more when you actually get paid to do it. 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. Blog gers can write their own opinions about the products being advertised and will get paid for it. Signing up is free, so there is nothing to worry about paying to get paid.Blog advertising is just about the easiest way to advertise for the advertisers, since the Internet is a global phenomenon and basically anybody in the world who has it can read about the advertisers' products and might like the product. As for the bloggers, there should be no easier way to earn cash than get paid to blog. More About: Blogging , Paid , Get Paid To

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".

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 lenders on the cash loans site can also get you qualified for a payday loan of up to $1500, which is very much useful especially in times like these.

Depression Sinking In
2008-03-31 16:18:00 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 me.

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.

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 performs the group song. This one's their best performance so far.

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".

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.
