VMOBILE is an e-loading station which is you can send load to Smart, Globe, Sun and other networks through 1 phone and 1 sim. Not only sim networks but also you can send telephone load like, Globelines, PLDT, etc. and to some Online Games like Garena, Mobius and many more.

Personal Experience:

I was really excited to search and to know everything about this Vmobile eloading business. I was even stay in front on my laptop for 5 hours just surfing, searching what is this all about? And I watched youtube presentation about this. The presentation was good and very enticing for new technopreneurs. How can you resist the return of your investment if you are going to receive as much as P 900,000 a month just investing P 3,988? Isn't it nice to hear? You might really think that it's imposible. But it's possible if your quite talkative and if you are just using your great mind. So, what business can you think if you are a beginner in this field that people will patronize? Something that is very saleable, consumable, a basic need of people, caters to majority of people? Can you think of a business that best fits such qualifications? It's none other than the e loading business! 90% of people in this world has its own cellphone and they need to load it for them to communicate their families all over the world. Vmobile eloading business is the answer for it.

I am one of the LoadXtreme Technouser and soon to be Technopreneur. I have some experiences that I want to share with you about this Vmobile.

Advantage:

1. Convenience of Loading

You can load different networks by using only one sim. You can use your own sim or you can buy one. It depends on you. What is good about this business is that even if you lost your phone/sim or you forgot to bring them, still, you can continue with your business. Why? Because your wallet is stored neither in your phone or sim but in the system created by V Mobile Technologies Inc. For as long as you know you ID number and PIK (personal identification key or your password), you can go on with your e loading business. However, you must also note and ensure that you availed unlimited texts while using LX to load your customers. Otherwise, it will be charged from your regular load.

2. There are 5 Ways To Earn In This Business

Try to visit the Vmobile website for what is this 5 ways.

3. Systematized Recording Of Sales And Transactions

Every transactions on you cellular phone are recorded. You can visit it anywhere, anytime to your laptop and computers with internet connections. It is secured. ID number and PIK needed to enter to your page.You can even check the type of load and cellphone numbers you loaded for the day. It is a hassle free inventory and sales monitoring system. You can even use your computer for loading! Loading using computer is more fast that loading using your cellular phone.

Problem I encountered already:

One time, I experienced this error message:
Your LX Gateway: 09XXXXXXXXX. LX: LOAD failed. Smart OTA temporarily unavailable due to Smart Telco congestion. Please try again after one hour.

Then after an hour, I found out why I received this error message. My customer is a TNT subscriber but my code is for smart subscriber. So, thats my mistake. But it is ok. Some says "Experience is the best teacher". I learned from my experience. Until I learned everything. That's the only error message I received from the LoadXtreme. I am now enjoying this Vmobile eloading business and ready to be one of the dealer or what we called the "technopreneur".

ADVICE / WARNINGS:

We have to be careful in typing codes because codes are character sensitive. Even 1 character error, the load will not receive by the customer.

We have to be patient because sometimes, confirmation message is not delivered quickly BUT it will not take 10 minutes to deliver the confirmation. ( IF the confirmation is not delivered after 30 minutes, try to repeat sending, maybe there is an error even in character spacing)

You have to ensure to avail unlimited text before loading your customers phone because if not, it will charge P1.00 per transaction / sent message from your regular load.

Making Money On Facebook

2011-07-27T20:15:00.000+08:00

This week I spent a lot of time trying to find legitimate ways on how to really make money on Facebook. I observed a lot of folks out there particularly internet marketers joining groups and fan pages and then mindlessly promoting their affiliate links. As I mentioned in this post most of the links lead to money making programs that I am always trying to avoid like plague especially in the arena of internet marketing. Mostly are that sort of MLM programs that entice you to pay a membership of $25 or so and you will be making $1000’s in a month or two.

Well, I’m not saying that’s not possible. It can be achieve if you’re the guy with big list to promote your newfound online dollar goldmine. We’re getting out of topic here.

By the way there are some folks I know who are wondering how does Facebook make money. Well, one way that Facebook gets its thousands of profits is through their advertising program. The process is very simple. Advertiser pays money for his ads to be broadcasted and seen by millions and Facebook simply rakes in the profits. Of course, that’s very obvious but for those who’s looking for the answer then it could be worth mentioning here.

I tried searching Google and I found a lot of programs about how you can make money on Facebook. Wild claims such as “Make $100 a day using Facebook”, “Making $500 per day with Facebook Fan Pages”, and a thousand more convulvulated hypes almost made me sick like a stricken donkey and almost forgot my job of creating reputable sites that would eventually make me money in the long run.

Most of the make money Facebook eBooks and reports talk about creating Fan Pages and the method they suggest goes through the same process:

create your own fan page using iFrames

target a niche that

make a title could become viral

get thousands of members who will like your page

and then make the most of that page by building your list or simply monetize it with CPA programs

While there are those lucky folks who easily earn an insane amount of moolah through that popular site, I could very well say that not every Joe and Jane does too. I’m not trying to say that you can’t make money with Facebook. You can if you have the desire and will to do what it takes.

Go on and buy those programs that teach you how to create your own Fan Pages and learn how to promote them. Or you could simply search Google and you’ll find a lot of tutorials and even video courses which are free.

Just like making money by blogging you still need to spend a great deal of time and constant effort in order to achieve the amount of income you are after. Well, no easy money for the lazy folks like me it seems. Good thing that the reality of this internet marketing booger is now getting on me. And I’ll be smarter next time.

If you get reading this far then thanks for your interest and hopefully you’ve got my hidden message. I know I’ll be seeing those spam comments of praises and “thank you”s for sharing which I am now trained to simply hit the empty spam button.

SAFETY: Texting while driving: A dangerous distraction

2011-07-27T20:14:00.001+08:00

It’s becoming a modern day issue and not just saved for the teenagers or drivers in personal vehicles--texting while driving is making headlines again as the head of the Boston transit authority has announced a ban on cell phones for all train, trolley, and bus operators. Last week, a 24-year-old trolley operator injured 49 people after crashing into another trolley while sending a text message to his girlfriend. Last September, 25 people were killed and 125 injured after a commuter train in California crashed after the engineer was sending and receiving text messages. There are a number of state laws restricting cell phone and texting use while driving.

Seventeen states plus the District of Columbia also ban cell phones for school bus drivers. Currently, there are no laws against cell phones for other operators of public transportation vehicles.

No matter who is behind the wheel, here are some tips for helping to reduce cell phone distractions:

If you need to make a call, pull off the road completely.
If you must place a call while driving, speed dial or voice-activated dialing can keep your eyes on the road. Also, make sure you are wearing a headset or using a hands-free system.
If you receive a call or text on the road, resist the temptation to answer—let your voice mail pick it up or let the message wait in the in-box,
If it is an urgent call, briefly tell the other party you’ll call right back once parked in a safe location. Most cell phones remember the last few calls received, making it easy to return the call.
Don’t text and drive. Texting is a distraction for the mind, eyes, and at least one hand—all of which are needed for driving.

Bottom line: Like the bumper sticker says, hang up and drive. Operating a phone in any fashion while driving can be a dangerous distraction.

Video Game Addiction

2011-07-26T07:58:00.003+08:00

]

Studies show that the excitement of video games makes playing them addictive. Parents of preteens and teens hardly find the realities of video game addiction surprising.

Ask any preteen or teen how they love to spend their spare time, and chances are you'll get an earful about video games. But why do they love them so? Is video game addiction real? According to some studies it would appear that the excitement of video games causes the brain to release a chemical that is, in essence, addictive. For any parent who has seen the fervor by which some kids play video games, this news is no surprise.

What makes video games so addictive? Media literacy specialist, Dr. Charles Ungerleider explains that "they're very compelling with increasing complexity, so a child becomes more facile, yet wants to know more and apply new skills." While wanting to improve their game isn't a problem in itself, it becomes one if video games are "taking a youngster away too much from other activities," says Ungerleider. "Then the parent has to intervene and limit the amount of time the youngster spends with the video game."

Professor of Computer Science, Maria Klavee feels video games, if not too violent, can "offer some real opportunities for puzzle solving, strategic and critical thinking". But she adds that it's important that video and computer games are played in moderation. Klavee says parents should "provide a selection of activities, not just the ones that have the most action or are addictive. Choose some that involve problem solving or good story lines. Also aim for a balance in your child's life. Sports are important, reading's important. Just think of computer games as one more component in a child's exploration of what's out there in society."

As for video game addiction? Ungerleider believes that "a parent can prevent youngsters from becoming addicted to too much TV or too many video games by establishing a pattern of selective viewing or by using video game material early in a child's life so that by the time a youngster gets to be an adolescent and there's very little surveillance or control, it's less likely to occur."

Finally, Ungerleider remind parents that "if a youngster becomes addicted to video games it can be a problem and the parent does need to intervene and provide attractive alternatives."

Kuwait Vs. Philippine Askalz 2014 World Cup Qualifiers ROUND 2

2011-07-26T07:57:00.001+08:00

Today Kuwait faces Phillipines International Friendly Matches Asian World Cup 2014 Qualifiers 2nd round. Kuwait vs Phillipines both team are ready to fight this match.The big match Kuwait vs Phillipines around the world of enjoyable Mohammad Al Hamad Stadium on July started 23-07-2011 from 16:30 until 18:30 GMT time.

Kuwait vs. Philippines soccer battle was done. It was held at Brazil. The fist game started and ended with the score of 2:0 in favor of Kuwait. I was very disappointed on how Askalz moved at that time. I though,they are not in good condition maybe because they are so tired. We can't say that the goal keeper in Team Askalz was not good so the Team Kuwait can make more goals. The Goal keepers really do his best to prevent opponent goal and to put the Philippines banner up. He's very good in defense. He will not belong to the Team Askalz if he's not the best goal keeper. But honestly, in the opponent part, Kuwait is quite good. They are all fast and full of confidence but sad to say, Kuwait wins at score of 3:0.

To the Kuwait Team, Congratulations! You did a good Job!

To the Philippine Askalz, Pacquio said, continue even you lose the game. He said that he also had lose games but still he fight for the Philippines. He continuously fight until he reached the goal. The goal to be the Champion and to represent Philippine as his beloved country until he reached it. So Team Askalz, continue and be the Best Soccer Team Player in the World!

History made by Azkals: Philippine FootBall Team

2011-07-26T07:56:00.001+08:00

It was just a few months ago when the country knew almost nothing about this group called Philippines Azkals. when the country woke up to the power of the Azkals, it did not look back and stayed awake since then and its fans growing in number by the multitudes.

That continued on yesterday when the Azkals beat Sri-Lanka in a most convincing and impressive fashion at 4-0. we almost fell asleep, worried even, last week when they could only muster a 1-1 tie in Sri-Lanka. yesterday’s game showed us a different team when the Azkals showed class, fineness and the tenacity of mad dogs going after it’s prey almost at the start of the bell.

The Azkals were relentless in their offense from the very start of the game. i would say the ball was on the half of the pitch on the Sri-Lankan side for a good 85% of the time. and during those moments the ball was on their opponent’s half, the Azkals attempted to kick a score almost every time they were there.

The Azkals that played yesterday looked like they were a completely different team from the one that played in Sri-Lanka last week.
The offense the Azkals executed last week was nowhere to be found. it just didn’t work.
yesterday at the Rizal, the Azkals were nothing but an offensive team
they passed the ball very well; they created openings for others; they communicated with each other very well and they had set patterns to execute that almost always worked flawlessly
they also showed a lot of confidence in the plays. it did not look like this was a team who has not played together a lot. this time around, they seemed to know what the other was going to do and made opportunities for scoring and attackTthe defense was also excellent with the ball going to the Azkals side not as often and offensive dangers occurring even fewer times etheridge, the goal keeper worked less this time, showing just how great the defense was
but of those times etheridge worked, he performed his job flawlessly as always. etheridge we think is clearly a great asset to the team
The fact that those who scored yesterday are the same people who used to score before tells you the offensive machine is working very well and the team’s scorers are gaining much confidence on their skills and trust on their teammates

Everything about the Azkals just worked perfectly. they did look like a team who has been playing together for many years. aside from the players, credit goes to the coach and his staff. they have obviously done their job in getting the team together. the couch’s effort and skill cannot be ignored. this coach knows his job and he planned this game brilliantly.
The other equally important ingredient in yesterday’s win goes to the fans, the pinoys who were at the stands going crazy cheering the azkals on. a punishing rain poured on Rizal but the fans stayed on and did not let up in their cheers. we only watched the game on TV but there was no moment during the game that we did not hear the fans cheering the Azkals on. they reacted to every moment where we could have scored, made a mistake or did something right. eveything was noticed, even the smallest things.
We think the fans at Rizal made one hell of a difference in the way the Azkals played. football in the country was no linger a sport for the few meztizos and the rich. this was now a game every filipino enjoyed lustily for, for the players who practiced almost 24/7 hearing the fans go crazy in the stands translates into energy and determination among the players.
The azkals not only made its thousands of fans and pinoys happy in yesterday’s win, the team also made history for philippine football as for the first time the country has reached this stage in the qualifying games for the world cup. on that alone, the Azkals has achieved glory and they are already champions! for the pinoys.

Focus While Blogging

2011-07-26T07:54:00.001+08:00

Here is the first thing that came to mind regarding a time when you shouldn’t be writing. Focus is a hard thing to come by these days, especially with the increased speed of technology. If you don’t turn off that smart phone, unplug from tweetdeck and mute the television, well you’re going to be interrupted quite a bit when you try to write.

Focus while blogging is a lot like texting while driving. It’s dangerous, your focus is split so your content is not optimal and there are far more chances for accidents than under normal writing conditions. Don’t blog while distracted. Take the time to apply focus and effort to your work.

When I created the post, Explosive Backlink Strategy, I wrote an entire draft of it without unplugging myself from all the previously mentioned distractions. I repeated sentences, created broken links, had grammatical errors galore and left many ideas unsupported. Worst of all however, was the fact that I had written far too much!

When you think about it, it’s a miracle that we accomplish anything at all with all the Facebook chimes going off on our phones and other mediums desperately calling for our attention. Instead of writing less in these conditions, I tend to write more! And we all know that online readers prefer concise, helpful information.
After unplugging myself, I was able to refine my article to the core ideas that mattered and scrubbed all the errors. That’s the difference between being focused on one thing and having your attention split amongst many things.

Sports: Volleyball history

2011-07-21T15:38:00.009+08:00

Today, volleyball has spread to 211 countries around the world, and is recognized as a truly international, widely played, popular sport.

In 1895, William G. Morgan, an instructor at the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) in Holyoke, Mass. Morgan created the game of volleyball, at that time called mintonette.

In 1896, the first official game of Volleyball was played at Springfield College.

In the year 1900, Volleyball was popular enough that a new ball was customized for the sport.

Five years later, Volleyball also spread to Cuba. This international signified the start of the Volleyball era.

In 1907, Volleyball was presented at the Playground of America convention as one of the most popular sports. This was the first credit the sport received, and helped to further the sport recognition.

Over the next five years volleyball spread to Central American countries.

In 1913, volleyball was held in the Far Eastern Games. This was the first official volleyball competition.

In 1916, volleyball had arrived in YMCA Brazil and South America. The set and spike was first executed in the Philippines. This offensive system altered how the game was played. For the first time the ball was set in a high trajectory and then spiked by a teammate. The Filipinos created the kill, known in United States as bomba. The bomba was named after the attacker called the bomberino.

Rules and tournaments came about as a result of the formation of the United States Volleyball Association USVBA. The first U.S. Open was staged, as the field was open to non-YMCA squads. The United States Volleyball Association (USVBA) was formed in 1928 and recognized as the rules-making, governing body in the United States.

Since 1928, the USVBA, now known as USA Volleyball (USAV), has put on national men's and senior men's (age 35 and older) volleyball championships every year except during 1944 and 1945.

Women's USVBA divisions started in 1949 and have been growing ever since.

In the late 1940s, some European national federations began discussing the need for creating an international governing body for the sport of volleyball.

The FIVB was founded in Paris, France in 1947. Initial discussions eventually lead to the installation of a Constitutive Congress in 1947. Fourteen national federations representing five different continents attended meetings where the organization was officially formed.

One of the main goals of the 1947 Congress was achieved two years later with the establishment of the first international major volleyball event, the World Championship.

In 1952, a women played in FIVB tournaments for the first time in volleyball history.

For the first time in the history of volleyball, volleyball was played in the Pan American Games in 1955.

In 1957, volleyball was designated as an Olympic team sport by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
In 1959, the International University Sports Federation (FISU) had volleyball be one of the eight competitions held in first University Games in Turin, Italy.

In 1960, seven midwestern institutions formed the Midwest Intercollegiate Volleyball Association (MIVA).
In the 1960's, new volleyball techniques were developed. Off-speed hits, open hand tips, forearm passing, blocking at the net, and defensive plays such as diving and sprawling become a big part of the game.

With the FIVB already having its own world championships, the FIVB directed its attention to the Olympic Games. Thanks to the Bulgarian Volleyball Federation, a tournament took place in Sofia in 1957 during the International Olympic Committee meetings. As a result of this event, volleyball became an Olympic Sport.

In 1964, volleyball was first played in the Olympics in Tokyo. Volleyball became a part of the Olympic Games, which allowed it to grow even more. Also, in the 1964 Olympics, the Japanese used a volleyball that consisted of a rubber casing with leather panels. A similar ball is used in modern volleyball competitions.

In 1969, a new international event, the World Cup was introduced. The World Cup would be turned into a qualifying event for the 1991 Olympic Games.

In 1974, Japan telecasted a major volleyball event in Mexico, the World Championships.

In 1983, the Association of Volleyball Professionals (AVP) was founded by Leonard Armato. The organization started its own beach volleyball tour in the United States in 1984.

By the late 1980's, the AVP tour was growing fast due to the promotion of the sport by the professional beach players Tim Hovland, Sinjin Smith, Randy Stoklos, and Mike Dodd.

In 1986, the Women's Professional Volleyball Association (WPVA) was formed to administer, govern, and protect the integrity of Women's Professional Beach Volleyball.

In 1987, the FIVB added a Beach Volleyball World Championship Series 1989 - The FIVB Sports Aid Program was created In 1990, a men’s volleyball competition called the World League was created.
The World League is the longest and most flourishing of all the international events organized by the FIVB. The tournament is an annual event.

In 2006, prize money became a major deal with $20 million dollars being distributed amongst 16 participating teams from 5 continents. The World League is sometimes confused with the other international volleyball competitions – Volleyball World Cup and Volleyball World Championships.

In 1995, the sport of Volleyball turned 100 years old.
In 1996, for the first time in the history of volleyball, beach doubles volleyball is included in the Olympic Games.

Major events in the 90’s took place including the establishment of annual competitions for men's and women's volleyball (the World League, in 1990, and the Grand Prix, in 1993), the indication of Beach volleyball as an Olympic event (1996). These events and many rule changes in the game were made the purpose of enhancing the popularity and public visibility of the sport.

10 Ways Students Can Save Their Money

2011-07-20T10:11:00.002+08:00

Obeus.comAdvertising, Pay Per ClickAffiliate Program, Pay Per ClickSharp thinker

While you are in school, and maybe even right after you graduate, you are going to be on a tight budget. Looking for little ways that you can save money will prove to be very important during your school years and beyond. To help you out, here are 10 easy ways for students to save money:

Stop Buying on Impulse

Impulse shopping can be very tempting while out and about. The problem with this is that you end up blowing money on stuff you don't really need, and sometimes on stuff you don't really want. Before making a purchase, make sure it is truly necessary.

Hide the Credit Cards

Many students give into the temptation to buy now and pay later. Unfortunately, these spending habits can come back to bite you. If you find that you can't charge responsibly, hide the credit cards until you learn a little restraint.

Give Up Bad Habits

Everyone has at least one bad habit. Maybe you smoke, drink Cosmos like no tomorrow, or buy expensive coffee before class. Whatever it is, cut it out. You'll be surprised at how much money you save.

Stop Keeping Up with the Joneses

Just because your roommate or your pals down the hall have a seemingly endless allowance, it doesn't mean you do too. Try to avoid keeping up with the Joneses and stay true to your budget.

Find Bargains

When shopping, look for clearance items or two-for-one bargains, buy used books instead of new, and order the special instead of something off the menu. If you can find a bargain every time you go shopping, you will save more money than you ever imagined.

Buy Machine Washable Clothes

You're in college. You don't need a dry cleaning bill! Buy clothes that you can wash yourself or take home to mom. If you must buy dry clean only clothes, try to limit how often you wear them.

Take Hand-Me-Downs

Whether it is a used book or previously worn clothes, there is no shame in taking hand-me-downs. If somebody offers you something and you can use it, take it gratefully. When you're making more money, you may be able to someday do the same thing for someone else who will be just as grateful.

Stay Home

While it can be nice to get out of the dorm every now and then, staying at home is much cheaper. Instead of going out for the night, invite a few friends over for movies, games, gossip, or snacks.

See a Matinee

Going to the movies with a few friends can be an expensive outing. Instead of going at night, try catching a matinee. Daytime shows are usually half the price of their nighttime counterparts and can be just as much fun.

Go to the Library

Did you know that most libraries offer you the chance to check out DVDs, CDs, and other forms of entertainment free of charge? Well, they do, and by taking advantage of this resource, you can eliminate the money you spend on buying CDs and renting movies.
