Hop Hop Hop! Oh yeah, you keep clicking on each link to visit your fellow bloggers and beloved friends. But did you know that there is a more enjoyable way to click and be clicked? Sounds funny and interesting! This is not so new, actually most of the people on my blogroll are entrecard users. Thanks for dropping EC!
"What is Entrecard?
It's a free blogging network that helps you build traffic, get more readers, and network with other bloggers. You put a 125×125 widget on your blog and you can earn "EC credits" when members visit your blog. You can use the “credits” to purchase advertising on other blogs in our network.

As a member, you earn EC or entrecard credits by "dropping" EC or what you already knew as BLOG VISIT or BLOG HOPPING. Simple, log on to your Entrecard Account and keep visiting other member's blog and click on DROP on the bottom of their 125×125 widget. You also earn by accepting ads that are in turn displayed on your blog. The more ads on queue, the higher your widget price, therefore the higher your earnings!
Eversince I joined Entrecard, more visitors have been directed to my sites. More people post messages on my shoutmix and comment on my blog posts. The entrecard market also offers a lot of EC-paying tasks that you may wanna try.

CreditBurner - Another Earning Site!
I came across this site through MyLot discussion board. Someone there actually gave me four sites as Adsense alternative. Note; I just need those who pay through Paypal. So let me name those four:
1)profitburner($2 payout)
2)creditburner($2.50 payout)
3)money4banners.co.uk
4)matched.co.uk
I checked each of them and it's Credit Burner that appeals to me most. I will check the remaining three next time. As for matched.co.uk, the page can't be displayed when I checked it last time. I am not yet sure if it's my browser or their server having technical issues. The same thing with profitburner. Even the referral link from my friends are not working.
Money4banners offers fixed amount per month which is £10.00 provided that you display their 468 x 60 pixel banner. I think I am not yet ready for this because I am about to do a blog makeover and right now, their banner is not suited to the current layout. But hey, £10.00 is almost $15 so I wanna try this one, too!
Credit Burner pays every 15th and 30th of the month if you reach their minimum payout. There is actually a $0.35 signup bonus so you better join now.
Here are the revenue prices:
Banner ads up to $0.90 cpm
Banner ads plus up to $1.00 cpm
TinyAds up to $0.50 cpm
I am currently using Banner Ads Plus and I will just modify the code once I'm done with the blog makeover!

It's been a month since I last posted my blog traffic information from Alexa. So today, I checked it out again and here's what I found:
Let us compare it to my previous details:
From 1 670 409 to 312 525 traffic rank! Yay. I just wish I can earn more from this tremendous traffic now that I am no longer earning from adsense.

Who doesn't want to get cosmotized?! Not me. Okay, this is really a late post of mine since I bought my own copy last August 3. Well, purchasing my August copy is like a Faerie Quest for me. Haha. Why not, I am raiding all the magazine stands and book shops as early as July 31 to no success. Come August 1 I continued the search and on August 3 it was finally over. Got this copy from Filbars at Robinson Galleria. The possible reasons of late issue release just dawned to me after checking my phone calendar. Yeah, yeah, August 1 and 2 are weekends so stores and publishers would rather have it officially released on the first Monday of this month. Just a thought. It doesn't matter that much to me anyway.
So, what are the good deals with this month's issue?
Oops, I mean who's HOT this season... None other than - the sexiest stars!
Yup, Cristine Reyes!
And what's cool?
Aside from the monthly freebies, August issue allows you to take advantage of the 1-day free pass to Fitness First. Come on, it's about time to visit the gym. :)
Wow, look how much you've got and how much you've saved by just buying this P125 magazine! It's really worth it.

Cliche: Age doesn't matter.
Agree or not? I agree, it is not the age that counts, it's the maturity or one's attitude. You can be 69 and still young - alive and kicking! Celebrating birthdays should not be associated with the notion of getting old. We're not dogs and the saying "You can not teach an old dog a new trick" is not applicable to us. We're human, we keep growing and learning. Just think it this way, birthdays are there to mark the date of new beginnings. Growing old is inevitable, but growing up is an option. Haha. Come on, grow a spine! Birthdays are meant to be celebrated with acceptance and all smiles. So I would like to greet Cathara Advance Happy Birthday. She will be turning 25 this October 13! Yay. Let's greet her in unison: ♪♪♪ Happy Birthday! ♪♪♪

Why invest? Simply because it can help us beat inflation. Inflation pulls our purchasing power so we have to do something about it. Can interest rates work?
Let's check it out!
Savings
- the gradual acquisition and safekeeping of wealth
- Reward: LOW
- Risk: Very LOW
Investments
- Provides the avenue for wealth to grow more meaningfully
- Rewards: HIGH
- Risk: Low to Very High
Interest rates work if you start investing in the stock market and KNOW HOW TO PICK GOOD STOCKS.
1. Know Prices
a. Actual Value
- the real value to which a stock can be said to be worth, it is commonly stated as fair value or target price
- studied through fundamental analysis
b. Market Value
- that value determined by market forces (demand and supply) and is conmmonly known as market price
- reviewed through Technical analysis
2. Know some Fundamentals
Fundamental Analysis
- a technique that attempts to determine a security's value by focusing on underlying factors that affect a company's actual business and its future prospects.
"We buy quality stocks today for what we believe it will be worth TOMORROW"
Remember: What you don't know you don't touch!
3. Do a Top Down Review
Ask these questions
- Is the economy growing?
- What industry seems attractive?
- What are the best stocks in the industry?
4. Know a Company's Prospects
(Company Analysis)
Look for companies that show:
*The ability to grow earnings = look for strong or increasing profitability
Watch earnings per share (EPS= income/ number of shares)
*Good or Cheap Valuations = look for good stocks whose Market Value is notably lower or discounted to its Actual Value
*Good Story = look for new buzz, solud products/services or catalysts for growth
5. Choose the Best
Compare and contrast.

Can you really build wealth through stock market investment? Now, look who's talking. Okay, I just attended a CitisecOnline Seminar about Stock Market Investment.
Mr. Juan G. Barredo, VP CitisecOnline.com Inc. is a very good speaker. He scored excellent based on my own evaluation. He was able to present all the ideas clearly and I learned a lot from the 4-hour seminar. Here is the outline of our discussion:
* Wealth Building through Stock Market Investment
*How to Pick Good Stocks
- Fundamental Analysis
*Methods of Investing
- Peso Cost Averaging
- Technical Analysis
*Getting Started with Online Trading
Before I go into deeper details, let me share you the company background:
- Established in 1989, CitisecOnline (COL) is the leading innovator in online stock trading in the Philippines
- Management Team is composed of professionals in the financial and IT industries
- Driven by our core competency in research, investor education and technology
- Capitalized at over half a Billion Pesos and a Member or PSE and HKE
- COL publicly listed in the PSE in ‘06
More details can be found on their website.
For a start, let us define stock market.
The stock market is the place where you can invest in other people’s publicly listed companies. A company sells shares of stock through an Initial Public Offering to raise capital to grow their business. And you invest into a company to participate in its growth through price appreciation and dividends.
What are they?
Capital Appreciation – the ability for a stock’s price to increase in value as driven by business prospects
Dividends – company returns wealth back to shareholders (distributes some profits either through cash or added shares)
I will share the types of dividend and other details about it on my next posts. If you are interested to attend the FREE seminar, please refer to the schedule below:

It took me so long to sign up at adgitize much more to post this blog entry. Why? What makes me hesitant of signing up for free and directing more traffic to my blog? Simply because I am too afraid to violate any TOS of my advertisers, primarily Google Adsense.
After doing thorough research and randomized "interview" through shoutmix, I found out that there's no conflict between Adgitize and Adsense. (And you may also include Entrecard). Elai answered most of my questions including the basic ones. She's been using Adgitize and Adsense for almost 2 years without conflict on payment and PR. So there, I give it a try.

Warning: R-18!
Haha. Got this one from my officemate. There's really nothing to be afraid of. For every bite of banana, you will feel relaxation.
Enough of that funny image. Read on to know the health benefits of banana.
As for my stock knowledge, all I know is that BANANAS are as good as SLEEPING PILLS. I will not even recommend you to eat banana servings if you want to stay up longer.
Bananas are rich in magnesium that induces relaxation until we fall asleep.
Now, let me do some research:
• According to an old wives' tale, the inside of a banana peel makes a great shoe polish for patent leather shoes. (We haven't tested this, so you're on your own.)
• The earliest dessert recipe ever written was a banana recipe--a mushy mixture of bananas, almonds, and honey.
• If your kids have a tough time falling asleep, give them a banana. Like a cup of warm milk, a banana is a sleep enhancer.
• The average American eats 26 pounds of bananas per year, making it our most consumed fruit.
• There are more than 200 varieties of bananas in the world: they come in all shapes and sizes, from small finger fruits to purple plantains.
• The biggest banana split ever made was 4.55 miles long!

A brand new store has just opened in New York City that sells Husbands.
When women go to choose a husband, they have to follow the instructions at the entrance:
You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are 6 floors and the value of the products increase as you ascend the flights. You may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you CANNOT go back down except to exit the building.
So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband.
The 1st floor sign on the door reads:
Floor 1: These men have jobs.
The 2nd floor sign reads:
Floor 2: These men have Jobs and Love Kids.
The 3rd floor sign reads:
Floor 3: These men have Jobs, Love Kids and are extremely good looking.
"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
She goes to the 4th floor and the sign reads:
Floor 4: These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and help with Housework.
"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"
Still, she goes to the 5th floor and sign reads:
Floor 5: These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, help with Housework and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the 6th floor and the sign reads:
Floor 6: You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor.
There are no men on this floor.
This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please.
Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.
To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opens a New Wives store just across the street.
The 1st first floor has wives that love sex.
The 2nd floor has wives that love sex and have money.
The 3rd,4th, 5th and 6th floors have never been visited.
Just sharing this funny truth.

Farewell, former President Cory Aquino... Thanks for serving this country.My sympathy is to all of her love ones, thereby including the Filipino community...
A tearful Kris Aquino delivered a heartfelt eulogy to her mother at the Manila Cathedral just a while ago (Aug 05, 2009 PH Time). She was ever thankful to all the Cory mourners especially to those who attendend the requiem mass.
I've been through the same pain of losing someone, and this event had just reminded me of all the good things my own grandma has done.
See On Her Deathbed...
Salamat at paalam Gng. Cory Aquino.

At long last I've earned something from oDesk. I've got the payment last July 28, 2009 after completing my first fixed-price job of writing DIY articles. At the same time, I've got a 4.8 feedback from my buyer, 5.0 being the highest. I rated her 4.7 in return based on the given criteria. Here's my financial activity. I intend to keep my earnings there and withdraw it at a later date since there's a $1 charge for every Paypal transaction.
I choose fixed-price over hourly rate jobs at oDesk since I am a full-time Technical Support Engineer already. Working with Odesk is more of a sideline or creative past time.
The good thing about fixed-price jobs is that you don't have to use the Odesk Application which includes work diary, screenshot and odesk team. This means that you can browse through several websites and do miscelleneous stuff without worries unlike with the HOURLY rate wherein your every move is being monitored.
There is a risk though for accepting fixed-priced jobs.
While the majority of oDesk projects end successfully, please keep a few things in mind:
1. Payment is not guaranteed on Fixed Price Jobs. oDesk only guarantees payment on Hourly Jobs.
2. The Buyer decides whether to pay and how much to pay. Before you start the project, you and the buyer must agree to requirements and a budget. Once the work is done, the buyer has full discretion over whether to pay and how much to pay. oDesk verifies the buyer's credit card at the beginning of the project, though we do not hold the money in escrow.
3. oDesk does not offer mediation or arbitration services. If you do the work and the buyer refuses to pay, oDesk will not be able to help. However, you will be able to leave negative feedback for the buyer.
To get started, just sign up at oDesk and take the oDesk Readiness Test for Independent Contractors and Company Managers.
Here's how my profile looks like:
Here, you can hire, manage, and pay remote contractors as if they were in your office. And workers can earn unlimited cash.
