Getting published online

Friday, November 25th, 2005

No, I’m not talking about blogging, but what if I actually make an e-book and let others donwload it for free? If it clicks then maybe I can try selling some good ones for let’s say, less than $2. I’ll try to check on Lulu’s services later to see if I don’t get to spend for this experiment. You see, I’ve been participating in NaNoWriMo. While I haven’t finished even a thousand words after two attempts, maybe later, I’ll succeed. Malay mo, di ba?

Dollar Bank Account Advice

Friday, May 13th, 2005

My bank of choice (the others aren’t as good):
Banco de Oro Universal Bank (BDO Unibank)
Initial and maintaining deposit: $100 only (other banks require $200 or $500)
How long before you can withdraw the amount reflected on your check? 60 days
Fees for check deposits: none (other banks charge $15 or so)
You can easily get a dollar account even if you are a student. Just give them a photocopy of your school ID and schedule of subjects. Two ID pictures are also required.

Here’s a sample of a Google check.

Why visitors reach my site

Thursday, May 12th, 2005

Most of the visitors who come to my site are looking for sex videos of either Piolo Pascual, Ethel Booba or Paolo Bediones. They must have been very disappointed upon reaching this entry which is not exactly about Philippine sex videos.

Could they have been interested in finding out that there was a move to keep advetrisers out of The Buzz, Star Talk and S Files? And that finally, there were advertisers who decided to to so? The ad pullout was one of the reasons why the weekend talk shows are more sensitive regarding the airing of alleged sex videos of Philippine actors and actresses that circulate via cellular phones.
