I started this blog way in 2006, but never really added content until like mid-2007.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The original purpose of this blog was of course, like every other frustrated kid at the time, I wanted to have something where I could vent out, but I was always more comfortable with just an ordinary pen and paper and well, a pen and paper may be more comfortable, but it&#39;s not safe from the prying eyes of my siblings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now an online blog can be kept private even if it is ONLINE for everyone else to see. I&#39;ve noticed that I&#39;ve been holding back everything that I&#39;ve wanted to pour out and was majorly concerned about what I wanted to write in the first place. I wanted to write about charities, I wanted to write about making money, I wanted to write about daily events, but then again, who would really care, right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So then I came to realize that since I pretty much can&#39;t please everybody with whatever writing talent that I used to have, I&#39;m just gonna write about anything I can think of. So looks like my random personality is about to surface! Why don&#39;t you guys check out my other blog, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.misswilhelmina.com&quot;&gt;Miss Wilhelmina&lt;/a&gt;, for whatever you can find on there?</description><link>http://thisiswhereichill.blogspot.com/2008/11/chillaxin-too-much.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><thr:total>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866896181558039341.post-1385291403349749177</guid><pubDate>Wed, 29 Oct 2008 03:04:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-10-29T11:50:10.821+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Personal</category><title>Chillin&#39; and Puffin&#39;</title><description>Well, I don&#39;t really puff, but I do like chilling out a lot. Maybe a little too much. At my workplace though, everybody seems to like puffing. I&#39;ve met some people at work who said that they never puffed or smoked before they started working, but apparently, they can&#39;t help smoking anymore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh well...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just hope I don&#39;t get sucked into the black hole. Anyway, I got someone from work who got me into letting her borrow some cash since her baby caught pneumonia and was in the hospital, so out of a good heart, I let her borrow some cash, and what irked me was that, she&#39;s working and she&#39;s supposed to be sending some cash home to her mom and kid and then comes pay day, and she texted me telling me that she&#39;s looking for me so she can pay me. It was my rest day so I won&#39;t be going to work. The day I came to work, she couldn&#39;t pay me anymore because she says she lost her money. Guess what, she promises to pay back the following week because her mom&#39;s sending her cash.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What? I thought she was the one sending the cash...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I started observing her from afar and I noticed that basically almost every week, she has a new shirt or a new pair of shoes, or she talks about eating out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&#39;s almost pay day again, and I am just waiting until she finally decides whether or not she tells me that she can&#39;t pay me back, or I may have to pull something to get her to pay me back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmmm, maybe I should take her ATM and the pin number and just give it back to her after I take what she owes me.</description><link>http://thisiswhereichill.blogspot.com/2008/10/chillin-and-puffin.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866896181558039341.post-371632980105237101</guid><pubDate>Thu, 16 Oct 2008 08:08:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-10-16T16:17:14.029+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Personal</category><title>Cebu Bloggers Society</title><description>I&#39;ve been part of the Cebu Bloggers Society for a while now, but it&#39;s only been recently that we&#39;ve started to move or do something. Haha, really, we were just a group into writing on the web space and now, we&#39;ve found out that there&#39;s more to blogging than meets the eye. Since we&#39;ve started being active, persay, a few of the members suggested that we have shirts printed out that would promote the group. And well, I love shirts. The more exclusive, the better. But I&#39;m not that materialistic. I just like the thought that the Cebu bloggers are getting along together and that everyone seems to agree on common things. In short, we&#39;re moving together as one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you wanna see the design, you can hop over to &lt;a href=&quot;http://miongandmarquee.blogspot.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Miong and Marquee&lt;/a&gt;.

Traffic has been sucky for this blog since I stopped updating in May. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I wonder, how do the full time bloggers get by everyday? What kind of investments do they have to make just to keep their traffic up? What is their ISP? Haha, still on the ISP issue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In blogging, how many times a week do you have to update a blog, or is it even necessary to keep the blog updated every week? What is the purpose of blogging? Is it for monetary purposes, or just to vent out on cyberspace?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it for attention? What? I&#39;m not totally sure, but I think I had answers to these questions roughly around a year ago. Now I&#39;m just stumped. It would just seem like such a waste if I quit blogging now that I&#39;ve been doing it for a year now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So do you have answers for me?</description><link>http://thisiswhereichill.blogspot.com/2008/09/full-time-blogging.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><thr:total>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866896181558039341.post-9218732192672732428</guid><pubDate>Sat, 23 Aug 2008 10:30:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-08-23T18:30:54.644+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Money Making</category><title>Hollywood Flirt Lines</title><description>Ever tried flirting with someone using lines from movies?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style:italic;&quot;&gt;&quot;You complete me.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you really think those kind of lines actually work? I haven&#39;t actually tried those, but I think most of the time guys are the ones who usually come up with these lines. Now can you come up with a memorable line that you said to someone and it actually worked?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People love melodramatic lines. Well, not everybody is cheesy like that, but if you deliver it at the right moment, it might actually work. Some might even start laughing hilariously at you for saying such cheesy lines, but if you look serious enough and if that someone that you are trying to flirt with is somewhat familiar with the line and finds your delivery quite attractive, well, looks like we have a winner then!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, if you had &lt;a href=&quot;http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/post?slot_id=17934&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.VO5VictoryHair.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Extreme Style by VO5&lt;/a&gt;, the lines might still be cheesy and the person that you&#39;re trying to flirt with might think of you as a dork, but he/she might also reconsider since you&#39;re looking all fine with that great looking hair. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I tried playing the game again and used some of the Hollywood lines, of course, the person I played with thought it was hilarious that I used such lines, but the plus was that he liked me because I&#39;m humorous. So try playing the game as well. Here it is for your convenience. It&#39;s the &lt;a href=&quot;http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/post?slot_id=17934&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.VO5VictoryHair.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Ultimate Flirting Championship&lt;/a&gt; game again. It&#39;s a fun and quick game, so try it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p width=&quot;100%&quot; align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;embed pluginspage=&quot;http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer&quot; src=&quot;http://www.yourminis.com/Dir/GetContainer.api?uri=yourminis/evb/mini:UFCWidget&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; height=&quot;380&quot; wmode=&quot;transparent&quot; FlashVars=&quot;CXNID=1000009_GW.6345NXC&amp;statshostname=stats.yourminis.com&amp;hostname=www.yourminis.com&amp;width=400&amp;swfhost=ct.yourminis.com&amp;uri=yourminis/evb/mini%3AUFCWidget&amp;height=380&amp;&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowScriptAccess=&quot;always&quot; &gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title=&quot;For more widgets please visit www.yourminis.com&quot; href=&quot;http://www.yourminis.com/index_minis.aspx?embeddedmini&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;For more widgets please visit www.yourminis.com&quot; src=&quot;http://www.yourminis.com/images/poweredby.png&quot;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/disclosure?slot_id=17934&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.VO5VictoryHair.com&quot; id=&quot;disclosure_bar_852&quot; onmouseout=&quot;itk_disclosure_badge.hide();ad_closed=true;&quot; onmouseover=&quot;ad_closed=false;itk_disclosure_badge.show(852, &#39;ss&#39;, 17934);&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Sponsored by Extreme Style by VO5&quot; src=&quot;http://socialspark.com/metrics/view/post?slot_id=17934&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fsocialspark.com%2Fuploads%2Fsocialspark%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fdisclosure_badges%2F9926%2Fgray_disclosure_badge.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://thisiswhereichill.blogspot.com/2008/08/hollywood-flirt-lines.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866896181558039341.post-2127055026934267384</guid><pubDate>Sat, 23 Aug 2008 10:23:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-08-23T18:28:27.066+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Mandaue Business Month</category><title>Off to the LAN Party</title><description>The aim is to get 500 computers under one roof!

Now people are asking if this is going to help his athletic career or not. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don&#39;t really care if it helps his career or not. Actually, what I&#39;m thinking is that this endorsement will help Kellogg sell more of their products since they have the Olympian as their endorser. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, kids all over the country will want to achieve what Phelps has and would be motivated to be the best that they can. I just hope that Kellogg&#39;s game plan works. This deal should work for everybody. Everybody meaning Kellogg, Michael Phelps and the consumers of Kellogg&#39;s products. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what do you think of this latest endorsement?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.dneero.com/flashviewer/dneerosurvey.swf?s=422&amp;u=3239&amp;p=0&amp;c=1&amp;r=51329&amp;hdl=0&amp;baseurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dneero.com%2F&quot; wmode=&quot;transparent&quot; quality=&quot;high&quot; bgcolor=&quot;#ffffff&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;250&quot; name=&quot;dneeroflashviewer&quot; align=&quot;middle&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; pluginspage=&quot;http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;</description><link>http://thisiswhereichill.blogspot.com/2008/08/michael-phelps-and-kellogg.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1k_EyvSMIhd5pdPk5onn31BAbxzwxnZadbpSjA7-Ntj9s9OUru6YIEgc_5b99WeOgs6OwbHyfoVbOAaBS_CMpls9QSreBb6R7DAck8h4x_th09gw3hibgPIhpVEtwxi2TDPeVX4dXtO8/s72-c/michael-phelps-1.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866896181558039341.post-3818984865489024953</guid><pubDate>Mon, 18 Aug 2008 11:24:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-08-18T19:44:09.082+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Personal</category><title>Better than Smartbro?</title><description>Okay, so I have had just about enough of my internet service provider, Smartbro. I mean, up until June, it has been a pretty good ISP. I never had any problems connecting to the Internet, I couldn&#39;t even consider it as being slow. I was under the two-year lock-in period. But as soon as I got out of it, the Internet just suddenly started acting up and well, I was struck with intermittent connectivity. I don&#39;t think that just because I got out of the lock-in period, the service would start being sucky.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My internet would just come in and out. I was actually planning on upgrading my speed, but unfortunately, that would mean me leaving Smartbro and I would have to go with PLDT, Globe or Bayantel. Bayantel for me is still super expensive. And well, the raving complaints about PLDT and Globe&#39;s service is really disheartening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, would I still wanna change from Smartbro to PLDT or Globe? If you are in the Labangon area, could you tell me how your Internet is doing?</description><link>http://thisiswhereichill.blogspot.com/2008/08/better-than-smartbro.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><thr:total>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866896181558039341.post-6895961544317371973</guid><pubDate>Tue, 12 Aug 2008 10:43:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-08-12T20:39:12.757+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Money Making</category><title>Get the Victory Hair</title><description>This might sound totally weird to you, but it seems that having the messy hair is the &quot;in&quot; thing nowadays. Why? Because for some people, when their hair is messy, it gives the impression that they have done something &quot;freaky&quot;--if you get my drift. *Wink*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/post?slot_id=16195&amp;amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.VO5VictoryHair.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Extreme Style by VO5&lt;/a&gt; is basically having its Ultimate Flirting Championship, where you basically create an avatar on the site and flirt till you drop. You win the championship if you get the Victory Hair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Try this widget out for free and see how you like it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p width=&quot;100%&quot; align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;embed pluginspage=&quot;http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer&quot; src=&quot;http://www.yourminis.com/Dir/GetContainer.api?uri=yourminis/evb/mini:UFCWidget&quot; wmode=&quot;transparent&quot; flashvars=&quot;CXNID=1000009_GW.6345NXC&amp;amp;statshostname=stats.yourminis.com&amp;amp;hostname=www.yourminis.com&amp;amp;width=400&amp;amp;swfhost=ct.yourminis.com&amp;amp;uri=yourminis/evb/mini%3AUFCWidget&amp;amp;height=380&amp;amp;&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; height=&quot;380&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title=&quot;For more widgets please visit www.yourminis.com&quot; href=&quot;http://www.yourminis.com/index_minis.aspx?embeddedmini&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;For more widgets please visit www.yourminis.com&quot; src=&quot;http://www.yourminis.com/images/poweredby.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, what do you think? I for one thought it was a fun little game, so I hope that you enjoy it too. While playing the game, there is a little at the top while waiting for other players to come. When playing the game, there should be about three of you. Within the game, the little screen on top of your head talks about how to flirt effectively.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/post?slot_id=16195&amp;amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.VO5VictoryHair.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Ultimate Flirting Championship&lt;/a&gt; really is a championship only this time, it&#39;s a championship between avatars and you only get to finish the game when you have the &lt;a href=&quot;http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/post?slot_id=16195&amp;amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.VO5VictoryHair.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Victory Hair&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now what would be a good strategy to have Victory Hair? The number one rule getting the Victory Hair, is to of course, flirt as much as you can. You would be provided with flirt bubbles that tell you on what to do and how to flirt the right way. There&#39;s also a way where you can act as the judge instead. If you are confused about the entire thing, don&#39;t be, you can forget all about your doubts once you tried it, so go ahead and try it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/disclosure?slot_id=16195&amp;amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.VO5VictoryHair.com&quot; id=&quot;disclosure_bar_849&quot; onmouseout=&quot;itk_disclosure_badge.hide();ad_closed=true;&quot; onmouseover=&quot;ad_closed=false;itk_disclosure_badge.show(849, &#39;ss&#39;, 16195);&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Sponsored by Extreme Style by VO5&quot; src=&quot;http://socialspark.com/metrics/view/post?slot_id=16195&amp;amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fsocialspark.com%2Fuploads%2Fsocialspark%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fdisclosure_badges%2F9940%2Fgray_disclosure_badge.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://thisiswhereichill.blogspot.com/2008/08/get-victory-hair.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866896181558039341.post-2446773734143304471</guid><pubDate>Tue, 12 Aug 2008 09:49:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-08-12T18:33:44.163+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Money Making</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Personal</category><title>Making Money with Adsense</title><description>It&#39;s been almost a year since I started publishing Google Ads. But it seems that publishing alone will not get me any money form Google. Sad. So sad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For someone like me, seeing that my sites are earning $1.00 per day is already a good thing. But unfortunately, it really isn&#39;t a good thing. Ever since May this year, I have stopped doing write-ups, which means I have not been updating my sites, resulting in a huge drop for my traffic. Less traffic means you are not going to be making any money from your blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I have decided to do some experiment. My brain is starting to get back in shape and so, I cannot wait until it&#39;s my day off so I can get back to work and make some moolah on my blogs. :D</description><link>http://thisiswhereichill.blogspot.com/2008/08/making-money-with-adsense.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866896181558039341.post-131436499896368610</guid><pubDate>Sun, 03 Aug 2008 20:37:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-08-04T05:14:13.936+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Seasonal</category><title>Chet Edwards for VP?</title><description>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5lgubjOTqHMmrkZAJTSLbwJtTSn9Z4lH5ywVkIkjBrF5T3b7oJX4WDVzqstWDTmekePOl7Go9_5_hjiRadk5AGOjqeK1oL50zlpAr-_JzzdK-as9UGsqmInrdVIRmfYZuLQxdpXHYnLM/s1600-h/edwards_chet.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 198px; height: 248px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5lgubjOTqHMmrkZAJTSLbwJtTSn9Z4lH5ywVkIkjBrF5T3b7oJX4WDVzqstWDTmekePOl7Go9_5_hjiRadk5AGOjqeK1oL50zlpAr-_JzzdK-as9UGsqmInrdVIRmfYZuLQxdpXHYnLM/s320/edwards_chet.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5230400870036507138&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who is &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Chet Edwards&lt;/span&gt;? &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Chet Edwards&lt;/span&gt; is a US Representative who, as Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi thinks may be a good running mate for Barack Obama. &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Rep. Chet Edwards&lt;/span&gt; is a 56-year-old as well as a 9-term congressman for a district in Texas, which also includes the incumbent President&#39;s ranch in Crawford.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to some of the few articles that I read about &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Rep. Chet Edwards&lt;/span&gt;, he is well-known in his district, people respect him, and that he&#39;s an overall good guy. But what would happen if he ran for Vice President? Would he still have the same respect that people have for him now, or will that deteriorate if he won? But then again, the spotlight most of the time is always on the President, and in my opinion, the Vice President usually doesn&#39;t get as much heat as the President always does.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&#39;m not a US-citizen, so I really don&#39;t know anything about how the politicians work in the US. I hardly know anything about how the politicians do their work around here either. When it comes to politics, I&#39;m a dum-dum, so someone please, educate me.</description><link>http://thisiswhereichill.blogspot.com/2008/08/chet-edwards-for-vp.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5lgubjOTqHMmrkZAJTSLbwJtTSn9Z4lH5ywVkIkjBrF5T3b7oJX4WDVzqstWDTmekePOl7Go9_5_hjiRadk5AGOjqeK1oL50zlpAr-_JzzdK-as9UGsqmInrdVIRmfYZuLQxdpXHYnLM/s72-c/edwards_chet.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866896181558039341.post-7609766706008255481</guid><pubDate>Tue, 29 Jul 2008 07:19:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-07-29T15:50:44.990+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Money Making</category><title>Be Cisco Certified!</title><description>When I first heard of &lt;a href=&quot;http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/post?slot_id=14346&amp;amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cisco.com%2Fgo%2Flearnnetspace%3Futm_source%3Dblog%26utm_medium%3Dmedia%26utm_content%3DGeneralTech%26utm_campaign%3DInc&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Cisco certification&lt;/a&gt;, I absolutely had no idea about it. I heard about it from my Networking professor back in college and heard about how hard she worked her butt off just to be certified. As a kid who couldn&#39;t care less about anything else at the time, I really didn&#39;t care. But then, I got exposed to the wonderful world of being certified for things that you know about. Well, not only will it work to your advantage, everyone seems to have a better life if they are certified from what I&#39;ve noticed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since I have a degree in Computer Engineering, I&#39;m qualified to be Cisco certified if I choose to be. If I choose to be certified, I would probably be working in a very prestigious company and be paid with a salary beyond my imagination. Hey, it&#39;s free to dream, so you don&#39;t have a say in this. Anyway, it is true though. In our world nowadays, the more certified you are, the more your monetary value increases. When you go out to apply for jobs, the higher will the company pay you just to have you working for them. The certification will serve as an indication that you are worth having in your workplace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I checked out the Cisco website about their trainings, I was really really tempted to go for the CCENT Certification. I might really go for it, actually. It&#39;s the entry-level certification and being certified for Networking can earn you the big bucks. I&#39;m not just pining for the money, it&#39;s also because I enjoy being a geek.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So maybe in a couple of years from now when I have enough resources, I&#39;ll sign up with Cisco and be certified at last!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/disclosure?slot_id=14346&amp;amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cisco.com%2Fgo%2Flearnnetspace%3Futm_source%3Dblog%26utm_medium%3Dmedia%26utm_content%3DGeneralTech%26utm_campaign%3DInc&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Sponsored by Cisco&quot; src=&quot;http://socialspark.com/metrics/view/post?slot_id=14346&amp;amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fsocialspark.com%2Fuploads%2Fsocialspark%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fdisclosure_badges%2F12832%2Fgray_disclosure_badge.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://thisiswhereichill.blogspot.com/2008/07/be-cisco-certified.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866896181558039341.post-458988731007733565</guid><pubDate>Sat, 26 Jul 2008 08:36:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-07-26T16:59:44.588+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Mandaue Business Month</category><title>LAN Party for Geeks</title><description>There&#39;s a party that&#39;ll happen this coming August in Cebu!

I should&#39;ve posted on here first, since this blog has more traffic than the other blog. But what&#39;s done is done, and I can only hope that any Cebuano blogger who comes across this blog will still join the contest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are the mechanics:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Objective: To let a hundred Cebu Blogs bloom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MECHANICS:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.) The blogger has to create a new blog about Cebu.  Existing blogs&lt;br /&gt;with already entries or traffic are not allowed. The blog may be self-&lt;br /&gt;hosted, or it maybe in any of the publicly available free sites like&lt;br /&gt;Blogger.com, MSN LiveSpaces.com, or Wordpress.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.) It should be a new blog which will have a PageRank of 0 in Google,&lt;br /&gt;and 0 authority as according to Blog Authority, Technorati.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.) The blogger should register in the official website, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ccebu.net/mandaue&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.ccebu.net/mandaue&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4.) Upon approval, he should do the following:  (this will be provided&lt;br /&gt;to him)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Insert a code that will enable at statcounter which will count the&lt;br /&gt;number of unique visitors and total them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- insert a code that will enable the blog to carry the blogroll of all&lt;br /&gt;the other accepted contestants.  That means all official blogs will&lt;br /&gt;carry a link to all other Cebu Blog contestants).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- the blogs may also be asked to carry the logos of the sponsors of&lt;br /&gt;the mandaue Business Month.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other than the above, the Cebu blogs are free to add whatever widgets,&lt;br /&gt;advertisements, or add-ons that they feel will add to the value  of&lt;br /&gt;the blog or to their own income.  However, please do note that a blog&lt;br /&gt;with overwhelming clutter may earn less points in the theme and&lt;br /&gt;overall aesthetics category.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5.) The blog contest will start on July 16, and will end on August 31,&lt;br /&gt;2008.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6.) The registered bloggers will be invited to all the functions and&lt;br /&gt;events of the Mandaue Business Month where the press is also invited.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7.) The bloggers will write about the events of the Mandaue Business&lt;br /&gt;Month, as well as probable first hand accounts of any of the towns and&lt;br /&gt;cities of Cebu.  This will include for instance the schedules, and&lt;br /&gt;plans of MBM, like the press con, contest rules etc.The blog may link&lt;br /&gt;to other blogs and quote, but 70% of the overall content should be&lt;br /&gt;original.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8.) Each blog may have one or multiple writers.  A school or&lt;br /&gt;association or a group may collectively also write one blog as a&lt;br /&gt;combined entry effort.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The top 3 blogs will win the following prizes:&lt;br /&gt;1st prize - 8,000 pesos cash or gift cheque&lt;br /&gt;2nd prize - 5,000 pesos cash or gift cheque&lt;br /&gt;3rd prize - 2,000 pesos cash or gift cheque&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. The top blogs will be chosen based on the following criteria:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Technorati Ranking  at the end of the contest  15%&lt;br /&gt;- Google Page Ranking at the end of the contest 15%&lt;br /&gt;- Number of unique visitors garnered during the period as reported by&lt;br /&gt;the Statcounter  20%&lt;br /&gt;- Blog Design and Aesthetics   30%&lt;br /&gt;- User Ranking and Voting in the website 20%&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10.

Well, it can&#39;t be helped. Thing is, in the US, a lot of big companies pay obscene amounts of money just to know what the local consumer thinks. So there really are paying companies that pay those who take the survey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GetPaidToTry.com is another one of those companies that pay the local US resident to fill out surveys and sign up on some paying websites. These websites are most of the time know websites that need feedback. What I like about this website is that upon sign-up, you can get an immediate $20.00 bonus, only if you complete 10 offers from their sponsors. So if you are a US citizen and in the US, why not try it out and see for yourself? You may &lt;a href=&quot;http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/post?slot_id=11520&amp;amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fgetpaidtotry.directtrack.com%2Fz%2F13%2FCD1%2Fsocialspark&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Click here to begin&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depending on the advertiser, you can earn from as low as $0.50 per survey and as much as $22.50. It would&#39;ve been very fortunate for me if only I lived in the US as of the moment, but it&#39;s just too bad that I don&#39;t. Oh well, I just hope that people around here would pay for our opinions as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/disclosure?slot_id=11520&amp;amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fgetpaidtotry.directtrack.com%2Fz%2F13%2FCD1%2Fsocialspark&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Sponsored by GetPaidToTry&quot; src=&quot;http://socialspark.com/metrics/view/post?slot_id=11520&amp;amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fsocialspark.com%2Fuploads%2Fsocialspark%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fdisclosure_badges%2F11215%2Fgray_disclosure_badge.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://thisiswhereichill.blogspot.com/2008/07/get-paid-to-try.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866896181558039341.post-4378625396620971885</guid><pubDate>Sat, 12 Jul 2008 10:50:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-07-12T19:37:20.564+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">News</category><title>Cebu Governor Gwen Garcia and Bloggers</title><description>This coming Tuesday, July 15, 2008, 11AM, there will be a press conference at the Cebu City Sports Club.

But then again, I still need Paypal for now, because most online businesses use Paypal now.</description><link>http://thisiswhereichill.blogspot.com/2008/07/paypal-fees.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866896181558039341.post-2015764702850888122</guid><pubDate>Fri, 04 Jul 2008 05:14:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-07-10T10:42:50.449+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Money Making</category><title>Cleanup Time!</title><description>&lt;img alt=&quot;5238dd240x180public&quot; src=&quot;http://socialspark.com/uploads/socialspark/public/assets/171/5238DD240x180public.jpg&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; /&gt;Goodness me. I just took a look around my room and well it&#39;s a big mess! I normally clean up but having two little siblings who aren&#39;t too little anymore with you just puts you out of your momentum of having a clean space. And since I can&#39;t really ask the sibs to clean up, I have to do it on my own or pay somebody to do it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paying somebody to clean up after our mess? Nope, can&#39;t be an option. I can&#39;t afford to do that. Bribe my brother and sister? Hmmm, could work. Could definitely work. Let&#39;s see, I got about a couple hundred pesos in my wallet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&#39;m gonna start crying now. Looks like I still won&#39;t be able to get this dump cleaned up. Oh well, I guess it&#39;s about time I started saving up for one of those contraptions that suck up dirt called vacuums. One thing though, vacuums are not so famous here in the Philippines, we&#39;re used to using brooms. That&#39;s the best way to save up energy and work out at the same time. But if I get lazy and I spill some of my milk on the floor, the dog just comes in on cue and laps it all up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Poor doggie got so used to it, it&#39;s almost routine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There&#39;s an efficient way to clean up a mess without straining your electricity bill though. While browsing the net, I got to check out pretty vacuums and they were cordless too. They were actually from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dirtdevil.com/AccuCharge&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Dirt Devil&lt;/a&gt;. I read up on the cleaning machines and found out that they&#39;re cheaper than common vacuums with cords that everyone trips over, they&#39;re also lighter, they would be able to save me time since cleaning up with a broom is time-consuming, and if I got one, I&#39;d be lessening energy consumption too. The products even have the &lt;a href=&quot;http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/post?slot_id=9716&amp;amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dirtdevil.com%2Faccucharge&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Energy Star&lt;/a&gt; logo, which means they really do save on energy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These products look like they will be worth it when I get myself one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/disclosure?slot_id=9716&amp;amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dirtdevil.com%2Faccucharge&quot; id=&quot;disclosure_bar_699&quot; onmouseout=&quot;itk_disclosure_badge.hide();ad_closed=true;&quot; onmouseover=&quot;ad_closed=false;itk_disclosure_badge.show(699, &#39;ss&#39;, 9716);&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Sponsored by Dirt Devil AccuCharge&quot; src=&quot;http://socialspark.com/metrics/view/post?slot_id=9716&amp;amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fsocialspark.com%2Fuploads%2Fsocialspark%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fdisclosure_badges%2F8252%2Fgray_disclosure_badge.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://thisiswhereichill.blogspot.com/2008/07/cleanup-time.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866896181558039341.post-354877854029092151</guid><pubDate>Tue, 24 Jun 2008 08:10:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-06-24T16:12:11.977+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Personal</category><title>Morning Shift</title><description>I love the morning. I love the cold breeze everytime I walk out of the house. I love the feeling of the hot chicken noodle soup getting into my tummy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that I&#39;m done with all the love-its, let&#39;s get to the hate-its.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hate not getting on a jeepney to work soon enough, I hate the traffic everytime the jeepney I&#39;m on passes through Carbon. And I hate pushing myself to wake up when I just barely got into bed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Truth is, I don&#39;t really mind waking up as early as my usual bedtime, all I want is to be able to get to bed early, and if I can, I just hope that I have undisturbed sleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Undisturbed sleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again, this brings me to wanting my own room. If I have my own room, I&#39;d be able to get enough sleep without the TV blaring, and I won&#39;t have to sense people walking around. I&#39;m actually cool with sharing the room with my brother and my sister, but I just don&#39;t think having a computer, a laptop, a TV inside a room and your next door neighbor blasting their radio 24 hours a day can give me enough peace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let&#39;s see, this is about the 4th week of my employed life. On the first week of work, we were scheduled for the mid-shift, that&#39;s about 2PM-10PM. This continued until the second week. Right after the second week, the next stage of training started and we were scheduled for the last shift---10PM-6AM. We were happy that we were finally put in the last shift, since that meant more cash because of the benefits of working late at night. But then the trainer decided that we should be given the first shift. Can you just imagine the Hazard pay and Night Differential pay growing wings and leaving us?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh well, I guess we should just be contented with the week-long extra pay for now.</description><link>http://thisiswhereichill.blogspot.com/2008/06/morning-shift.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866896181558039341.post-4947692064380389542</guid><pubDate>Mon, 23 Jun 2008 20:28:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-06-24T04:31:00.586+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Money Making</category><title>Advertisers Should Do SocialSpark</title><description>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidhYJ8EeIpnDa9s9-HHbIDbN00Wvl3uuDW5e7gE3WIpIHkt-s8VG-_wInvZZf5wc9rz72yFiJOg-zzzf1UPofqxURdpyMeDZjRLyDne-L-8TPRPh32aS5_-43kLTlxCJvfeqniyiHPrYo/s1600-h/SS.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidhYJ8EeIpnDa9s9-HHbIDbN00Wvl3uuDW5e7gE3WIpIHkt-s8VG-_wInvZZf5wc9rz72yFiJOg-zzzf1UPofqxURdpyMeDZjRLyDne-L-8TPRPh32aS5_-43kLTlxCJvfeqniyiHPrYo/s320/SS.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215177081380658786&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I kinda wish that this blog can stand on its own, meaning that I won&#39;t have to work so hard just to keep it up. Well, since I just started with SocialSpark, I was pretty eager to see what it could offer and obviously eager to earn with it. I was kinda excited that I would be able to do sponsored posts again and without having to hide it from the readers. The purpose of this post is to let advertisers know that &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/post?slot_id=8126&amp;amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.socialspark.com&quot;&gt;SocialSpark.com&lt;/a&gt; can help in booming their business if they just have enough people linking back to them and bloggers&#39; posts are just as good as promoting their products.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like for me, I&#39;ve always like the sports gear from Adidas. I bought myself tennis shoes that I have loved so much because of its durability and the comfort that I felt while using it. Aside from their tennis shoes, their shirts rock as well as their bags. Oh I could just go on and on with their products.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And since I&#39;ve just started working and have been thinking about getting myself a new car (wishful thinking!), I&#39;ve always wanted to get myself a Honda CRV. Yeah, I know it&#39;s been out in the market for a while now, but I just want an SUV, so sue me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way, this template isn&#39;t totally mine, as everyone can see on the footer, but I have done some changes to it and I will be making more changes using Photoshop. I have to change the imagery, to personalize this blog more. I just wish that Photoshop&#39;s cheaper though, it sure takes a pretty penny just to get a license. But whatever, I love Photoshop, nonetheless. :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/disclosure?slot_id=8126&amp;amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.socialspark.com%2F%3Futm_source%3Dsocialspark%26utm_medium%3Ddisclosure%252Bbadge%26utm_campaign%3DTell%252Bus%252Bwhat%252Badvertisers%252Byou%252Bwant&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://socialspark.com/metrics/view/post?slot_id=8126&amp;amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fsocialspark.com%2Fuploads%2Fsocialspark%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fdisclosure_badges%2F3698%2Fgray_disclosure_badge.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Sponsored by SocialSpark&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://thisiswhereichill.blogspot.com/2008/06/advertisers-should-do-socialspark.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidhYJ8EeIpnDa9s9-HHbIDbN00Wvl3uuDW5e7gE3WIpIHkt-s8VG-_wInvZZf5wc9rz72yFiJOg-zzzf1UPofqxURdpyMeDZjRLyDne-L-8TPRPh32aS5_-43kLTlxCJvfeqniyiHPrYo/s72-c/SS.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866896181558039341.post-3541490740765159242</guid><pubDate>Mon, 23 Jun 2008 20:23:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-06-24T04:28:29.549+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Personal</category><title>100th Post!</title><description>Actually, this post isn&#39;t the 100th post on this blog if I didn&#39;t move some of the content to the other blog.

And it&#39;s not just all about monetizing your blog, with SocialSpark, you can also build communities where you can promote your blog among fellow bloggers and advertisers. And if you think you don&#39;t have enough traffic, SocialSpark is also a good way to boost it, because the more you check out your fellow bloggers&#39; blogs, they usually reciprocate the visit and if they find your blog interesting enough, there&#39;s nothing stopping them from visiting again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most bloggers are crazy about getting high PR, but if you barely have any visitors, what&#39;s the point of having a high one? Yes, I&#39;m serious about that question. Anyway, I got invited into SocialSpark a long time ago, back when SocialSpark was still in Alpha. But now, lookee:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMZBoL0Wtb2LOUuZ5AElIN5S4kYdKQu4J9FNGeEMEmOUsPdiJL13LJQjnS49FElZQwCXmx5cjxR7nINIabdmOfQ6PJVVEjolfXGyPeHVEoD2cjpUVyxRSrVv2-llbBAR-nd9IuGgm_Sck/s1600-h/SS.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMZBoL0Wtb2LOUuZ5AElIN5S4kYdKQu4J9FNGeEMEmOUsPdiJL13LJQjnS49FElZQwCXmx5cjxR7nINIabdmOfQ6PJVVEjolfXGyPeHVEoD2cjpUVyxRSrVv2-llbBAR-nd9IuGgm_Sck/s320/SS.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214681557603256738&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To get a feel of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/post?slot_id=7976&amp;amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.socialspark.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;SocialSpark&lt;/a&gt; blogger homepage, here&#39;s a screenshot:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBWuRIRat3sliLv8R3vdV0gwB8syE2wsNy4HbSoZADxmGMNaoF4NCNJV_O_0AZhesKGqhxWouuylcQc9cWXxhnR8Y4ggoVRVnrKpr9TsKGLOc3UDsb4h-hsBW-UtABXVebymwf66Cz1M4/s1600-h/sshome.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBWuRIRat3sliLv8R3vdV0gwB8syE2wsNy4HbSoZADxmGMNaoF4NCNJV_O_0AZhesKGqhxWouuylcQc9cWXxhnR8Y4ggoVRVnrKpr9TsKGLOc3UDsb4h-hsBW-UtABXVebymwf66Cz1M4/s320/sshome.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214701479902219346&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SocialSpark also has a code of ethics:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-100% Audit-able In-Post Disclosure&lt;br /&gt;-100% Transparency&lt;br /&gt;-100% Real Opinions&lt;br /&gt;-100% Search Engine Friendly&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are a lot of opportunities that even new bloggers can take, just as long as your blog&#39;s three months old and not loaded with adult content, it&#39;s all good.

Well, I guess I can call myself a fan, not really a die-hard fan, but a fan, nonetheless. When I was a kid, I never knew any magicians at all, but I heard about Harry Houdini, being the best escape-ologist and all, so they say. But usually magicians just don&#39;t make them appreciate them the way they wanna be appreciated. If I were a kid, I probably would, but when I saw Criss Angel perform some of his illusions, I was entertained. I&#39;ve watched some of his interviews and found out that some of the illusions are real and some of them are staged. But I don&#39;t really care. I&#39;m all up for the entertainment from him. The stunts that he performs are dangerous and intriguing. It&#39;s just like nothing you&#39;ve seen before. I&#39;ve watched his videos from his TV show, but I&#39;ve always wanted to see him perform live. And one can go see him perform at the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Criss Angel also works with Cirque du Soleil and he has a show called &lt;a href=&quot;http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/post?slot_id=7912&amp;amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fclk.atdmt.com%2FMGM%2Fgo%2Fpyprpmgm1850000084mgm%2Fdirect%2F01%2F&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;CRISS ANGEL Believe&lt;/a&gt;. You can buy your tickets online at the Cirque du Soleil&#39;s website. They also had a text contest running for US and Canada residents, but it closed just on the 14th of June. If it was still open, all you had to do was text the word &#39;Believe&#39; to 22122 to win a pair of tickets to the show.
