Huling Hirit
Man, I’ve got the worst hangover.
Of summer, that is. Since classes started this June, can’t seem to fully adjust to the new schedule I have to put up with. Maybe I miss the super hot days when I have no reason to leave the house or even get out of bed, the events we have to organize, or staring at the computer ’til dawn. It’s hard to focus on academics when Wifi can reach you almost everywhere and blog hopping could be as easy as a sit in the park. I need to let go.
So now, on the turn of a new month, I will firmly stand by my decision to leave behind (temporarily) some “luxuries” I had back then. Looking back, it’s been fun but I just have to think– Dude, you’re graduating dammit! — and that should shake me up and put my priorities in place.
Huling hirit na ‘to. Panoorin n’yo ‘to:

Bananas can be a hepa B vaccine
As I was reading good materials and magazines from various sources, I’ve found interesting facts. Here they are:
It was featured in the Scientific American dated July 2007 that Bananas are the most promising edible vaccine against hepatitis B virus, which lives in about 5% of the world’s population. Potatoes have been mentioned in the extensive study that these are also beneficial as vaccines but researchers argue that bananas are the better choice because these can be eaten raw and taste good to most children. It was recently discovered that bananas boost immune-triggering hepatitis protein in the fruit.
Tabang, Pinoy Blogero!
- Do you have any suggestions on how could i monetize my blog?
What certain ads accept blogspot as a venue?
If there’s no choice, it would be so stupid if i change my server and transfer all my posts..
Di ko alam gagawin. tabang!!! (TULONG sa ilonggo. hehe)
Instead of answering his questions directly, I decided to answer it on a new blog post for the benefit of others who are asking the same thing.
There are many money making opportunities that are reserved for blogs. These are (but not limited to) Adsense, Text Link Ads, Chitika, AdBrite, PayPerPost, PayU2Blog, and the like. All of these have different features and ways for a blog to gain profit from, I suggest visiting their sites to see what they offer.
The first four can be categorized under Banner Advertising. This is where banners or text links are put on your blog and they will pay you for it. It doesnt matter if your blog is on blogger because they accept any blog platform.
PayPerPost and PayU2blog are a different kind of monetization option. They pay you to review a product but they are a little picky when it comes to blog platforms. In other words, if you have a blogspot blog, you may have problems in signing up for their services.
What should you do? Moving to a different blog platform would take a lot of time and energy. But it would be a wise decision if you are aiming for PayPerPost or a similar monetization feature. Otherwise, you could resort to Adsense or Text Link Ads on your old blog.
Personally, I would not let these things dictate where my blog will be headed. If your reason for blogging is to earn money then go for something that would earn you lots of it, however, if your reason is to express yourself through blogging, then think of monetizing your blog only as an added bonus. Remember, blogging is not just about earning money.
Hope I have answered your questions! Happy Blogging!

Hi po sa lahat ng bumibisita sa blog ko at angbabasa ng entries ko kahit na medyo stupido. Nakakataba po kayo ng puso.
Mayron po akong kuwentong isi-share sa inyo. Mejo mahaba po pero siguro its worth your time naman po. Nagsimula po ang estorya noong January 2007.
Eto po yun. While some people enjoy the bounty and luxury of life, this family residing at Uriarte Subdivision in La Carlota City seems hopelessly deprived of the good things in life.
This family is composed of an 80-year old lady, Fortunata Bayog and her grand-daughter Joanabel Bayog, 14 years old, mentally ill and extremely undernourished, who was abandoned by her mother when she was only one year old.
The breadwinner is Fortunata’s son, called “Baruk” (because his brother was a.k.a. “Tarzan”). He is in his mid-40s, unemployed and accepts part-time, menial jobs. The other children of Fortunata have gone to other places and might have their own family now.
Close to her mother, Baruk, could not afford to leave Fortunata in her present state. He opted to remain single. “Mabudlay pa kon magpangasawa ako sa amon situasyon subong,” (Mas magiging mahirap kung mag-aasawa pa ko sa sitwasyon namin ngayon) he says sadly with tears dimming his eyes. His meager income from the odd jobs he has could hardly suffice for their food every day.
Rasta Today
I’m sure everybody already noticed the slowly growing phenomenon of the Rasta underground culture in almost everywhere in the country. The reggae music, the colors of the Ethiopian flag, the dreadlocks and the apparels with printed images of Bob Marley.
In an article written by Von Fritz Evangelista, former ed-chief of the Riverside College (the official publication of the students of Riverside College, Bacolod City), a guy calls himself a Rasta with his dreadlocks and the ganja pendant in his necklace. He says he is discriminated being a Rasta sometimes since people think of him as weird, addict or lost. But he doesn’t care and proudly says they are cool. Those words triggers the conclusion that today’s generation define Rasta, as synonymous to being ‘cool’.
“But is Rastafarianism a bandwagon or more of a religion?” Von asks.
Philippine Genre Stories: A Noteworthy Venue for Filipino Writers
One of the very very very few things I’ve learned in my Creative Writing class last year was how to read, not as reader, but mainly as a writer. Maybe I’ve never really taken the advise to heart because I (and half of the class, I’m compelled to say) got a tumataginting na kwatro in the course because, according to the professor, our “grammar sucks” in the 500-word short stories we submitted. Surprising, especially because other than the few cheesy lines, my story has been well-received by the whole class.
Even by the professor, actually. So okay, then 20-year-old Sands Reyes was born after a few minutes of “brainstorming.” I finished the story in only a few hours before the deadline. It wasn’t technically perfect, but it certainly passed the standard. The prof only strongly suggested that I stop reading those damn corny romance novels by Mills & Boons and the like. But he said that my language wasn’t as bad as in the previous stories we critiqued. A sigh of relief that time. One of my closest friends in class, Mark (the rumored boyfriend last year by the duffus, haha), even consulted his story with professional writers and still got a 4. We still got a frigging 4. What a big blow.
