Two weeks and a hundred thousand pesos

Of course, not another Father’s Day post. I’ve greeted my Dad already, and he’s contented with that. Lol I know a lot of you kept on coming back for this long-awaited geeky testimonial. (I thought I promised to rant about it 10 hours after fleeing from Slumberhouse.) Though (uber)lame as I see it, here’s my long post about a bizarre unlucky boy who ended up paying all his parents’ bills for the past two years.

Imagine, you are standing in the middle of a growling crowd filled with good-looking (and not so good-looking) people whose eyes are all glued to your wide forehead. You are palpitating, nauseated, and severely exhausted because you’re afraid to spend the remaining 200 pesos for food since you just borrowed it from your kapitbahay just to reach Quezon City. You haven’t slept a bit, eaten a bit, flossed a bit–all for that one hundred peso jackpot question and a special package you’ll never expect to be that freaking awesome. And then you realized…

To all: A congratulatory Pre-post

I just wanna express my deepest, most honest, and sincerest gratitude to all who have
congratulated me for my winning.

Since the day I landed on that venue with a hundred grand in my pocket, my life has been a roller coaster ride.Maraming kumikilala, maraming lumalapit,maraming nakikipunyagi. And most of the time I’d rather glue myself researching for our TVC prodhouse rather than storytelling about my feat in On The Spot Jackpot of Eat Bulaga.

Have received so many text messages a few minutes after my win. My apologies for not replying. Huhu. There were so many anonymous texters and callers, i had no idea how to comply with their remarks for I was thinking about my tight sked that day to report on my
internship in Makati rather than jumping for joy with the pinoy TV subscribers in Broadway. And of course, every dabarkad knows me and my green silk polo. Was tightly on guard with opportunists, honestly. Musta naman yun, pagka-panalo ko, trabaho kaagad. At amoy kili-kili pa ako when I went to Makati.

Wala lang.. nagpapasalamat ako sa mga nakakaalala sa akin. Wala na akong balita sa mga naging classmates ko o mga kamag-anak ko due to my ‘hectic’ness and all. Nagbigay-tulay ang panalong ito sa mga dati kong naging kaibigan at kakilala.

Pasensya na I can’t share my winnings. Not only that I haven’t en/incashed it yet (ano ba tamang spelling?), but I have to comply with our financial obligations as well. Ayokong gastusin ang pera for the lesser and insignificant expenditures. Pero malay niyo, magpakain ako (read co-bloggers ^_^ andyan naman si Yna). Besides, it’s my money naman anyway. Hahahaha. Selfishness is the best policy.

Will blog about it. Basta, just check my site once in a while. Di ko pa siya naipopost, pero if I do, I’ll ping you all.

I still have to… erh… facilitate our neighborhood. Crowd control personnel, please… assist me with all these people. Lol.

Salamat po uli. Salamat sa Panginoon at  sa lahat ng nanalangin sa aking pagkapanalo (kahit kakaunti lamang sila).

Padayon!

icebreaker

Ha! You’re excited about my Eat Bulaga’s On the Spot Jackpot winner’s testimonial, no?

Just give me a lil more time to ponder. Probably about 10 hours. I need to get some decent sleep. I am still… ugh… sleepless due to my video editing and triumphant disbelief. And I have to deal with all these greetings and death threats and fan letters and disoriented neighborhood who kept on befriending my mom for balato. Asa~ hahaha. We’re through with all your plasticities, scumbags, and thank you for not lending us a hundred pesos for my narrative report printing last Tuesday and 200 pesos for my transpo to Makati and for worsening my fever because of your foolish selfishness

(details later)

For the meantime, here’s my embarrassing performance in a karaoke cubicle in SM Dasmarinas with my family. As if it’s really embarrassing compared to my–ugh–mental and muscular palpitations last Wednesday…. ugh.

See you later!

Win for Lowest Bids?

Oh great, you can just get an iPhone by raising the lowest bid for a product? Unbelievable?

I”m skeptical at this one. But based on the testimonials from the past winners of this program… like, huwaw, a 42′ plasma TV? For real? And for free? Holy cow, I really want to grab that opportunity.

Bids4Prizes does that. And now, for US internet subscribers only, you can grab this once–no–even as many as you want–opportunity to get items, BIG items that is, by just bidding the lowest unique bid.

PPP direct

Am here to hire bloggers for this new affiliate program from PayPerPost.

PPP Direct cuts out the massive overhead. Why? Here’s their complete explanation of how PPP direct would be a lot more beneficial to you:

 

Keep more of the money you have earned.

 

PPP Direct cuts out the middleman (including ourselves) in transactions that are driven by your blog. You can still participate in ours and others marketplace programs if you want to, but it doesn’t make any sense to pay so much when you are generating the advertiser lead. PPP Direct only charges a 10% service fee, and nearly 5% of that is PayPal and Credit Card Fees.Think about it.
Why would you ever want to take less money? Why would the advertiser want to give half to the blog marketplace? With PPP Direct the advertiser gets more bang for their buck and you make more money.

 

Security
I can tell you that as a blogger and an advertiser I wouldn’t want to be on either side of that transaction.. sounds very messy and I could get taken on for a ride. For such as small fee I would rather know that I am going to get paid as a blogger and get my post as an advertiser. We provide a level of security for both parties that the transaction will be completed in a manner that makes buyer and seller happy.

 

Ease of Use
Our widget makes the entire process fast and easy for both parties, particularly advertisers. Advertisers can use their credit cards and don’t need to go through the painful PayPal process. They can also access their existing PPP account balance to easily make purchases.

 

Tax Reporting
If you are accepting payment for Posts you need to report that income to Uncle Sam or risk the wrath of the IRS. Every PPP Direct offer is accounted for in your year end tax statement from PPP.

 

Marketing
We are building a directory of PPP Direct bloggers and will be promoting those that have adopted the technology in the meantime. PPP Direct will ultimately mean more Opps for quality bloggers.

 

Where competitors like ReviewMe charge 50-100% markup and keep up to half your money, PPP Direct only charges a 10% fee, 5% of which goes to transaction fees for PayPal and credit card processing.

 

PPP Love

Oh, I have just started having PayPerPost in monetizing through blogs.

Be it capitalistic, but the opportunity that PayPerPost, among all web monetizing programs available on the internet, made weblogging a bit more useful and motivating, second to our point of making blogging a ‘good source of inspiration’ and ‘output of personal sorts’.

And now, even if I haven’t earned anything from PayPerPost, I love it for the following reasons:

1. It offers opportunities with considerably great amounts. Even a newbie in the blogosphere can easily pick opportunities which are open to everyone, now that they apparently are less strict to site ratings.

2. It’s user-friendly. By just posting the appropriate content and a little bit of copypasting, no worries. Just let them do the paying for you.

3. Earn while reviewing someone else’s post. A good method of interacting and monetizing all at the same time is by accommodating bona fide PayPerPost members with their blog reviews scheme. Well, for 7 bucks and a little bit of typing, who wouldn’t want to?

4. Soon, I can fill this up. PayPerPost has a lot of potentials.

As of this moment, PayPerPosting shall allow myself to earn as much as I can respectively with how I love blogging than monetizing. Or I made myself a bit haywirey. I know I will have a good start. But for now, PPP shall need your love–by loving me and my PayPerPosting.

Aissshhh… that’s a little bit cheesy.

 

Coo-King Clowns on a QB Stove On The Spot

I didn’t like that idea in the first place.

That Monday lunchtime was unholy. For 3 straight hours right after I woke up (late as usual), I attempted to finish reading Francisco Sionil Jose’s ‘The Pretenders’ without eating or drinking anything. I guess you got the idea that I didn’t even brush my teeth or wash my (eventually pimple-eradicating) face or at least changed some of my (ugh! stinking) clothes. I didn’t lift a centimeter of my body on that motherly pink satiny king size bed while surprisingly my brother and his long-time boyband buddy (brrr) were strumming loudly our electric guitar, playing wild wild My Chemical Romance’s “I Don’t Love You” and “The Black Parade” consecutively. Phew, another run-on.

Think about it; I didn’t wake myself up in spite of that wracking high volume of our desktop speakers inside our room that morning. And the ground guitar speakers. They were there, and I was there and they know that I was there. Blah.

Anyway, I fell asleep (again) for that strenuous activity. Heck, reading a novel would be tiresome for a non-literature sleazy porcupine like me. Hours prior to my waking and forced vocabulary building, I did a portion of my narrative report for the nearing deadline on Friday (FYI, it’s already my second time to finish Sionil’s novel, with the first done during my Philippine Literature book chapter summary reporting ALONE).

Then all of a sudden, my Mom, whom I had not been in good terms for the PC usage issue, woke me up hastily with winking merciful eyes and a gentle, yet persuasively convincing tone.

“Neil, ano, incoming senior and fourth year college students…”

“Grglegrlggle… eh ano ngayon?”, I mumbled

FUJWD4FMS43SD

Now what? For two freaking straight days my webhost, jaywebdesigns.com, has been down/crashed/exterminated/wiped out of our psychotic cosmos/dead.

ARRRRGH.

I had so many things to talk about but this… I can’t login… oh my gulay, DOWN AGAIN?

AAAAAAARRRRGH!

In fact, I posted a testimonial about my webhost (on his main site) that JayWebDesigns was “the coolest thing on the planet” (aside from Xtube). That it has never had downage on its servers. And that the user interface is friendly, and that I got a 1G storage capacity plus a 10G bandwidth. Pffft. I wanna fart.

I dunno why it’s down for quite a while but to tell you honestly, JWD has been generous to me. From 250mb to 1G, wow.

But it’s always down. AAARGH! Even free-webhost directories removed it from their credible list of available free hosting sites.

And then bloggers make kantyaw to me, especially that atheist weasel Benj. (Groowl you, benj.) And that indespicable sex toy maniac Billycoy (wapaak!). And that ampalaya Juice who graces her headsh0ts to me (slash!). And for sure, Manang misteryosang Shari is laughing her arse on the floor for my–thankyouverymuch–disastrous es2pido debut (toink–oh, my Pokemon Tackle bounced!) Lol.

And so I switched. Finally. To PHUC hosting (by Ems of nuovoinizio *wink *wink)

And I hope ate Ems will not disappoint me. Or I’ll spam her inbox with lots of porn…

Ulk. No ate Ems, don’t delete my account… please (*wink wink)

Of course, I’m not serious. It’s just that… aaargh! This post is the senselessest I’ve ever encoded. More senseless than the bwahahahahaha.

Sue me.

BTW, I have another url. neilbernardo.luv.ph . Just spreading the love for the Philippines via this free domain name. Isn’t that wonderful? Neil loves the Philippines! (Thunderstorms. Lightning Strikes.) Again, from Ate Ems. OMG. Ate Ems is my most abused word. Haha!

es2pido.com

Oh yes, I already have that freakin’ juicy 400 (and 10) pesos for that cheap domain name subscription in cheazey, as if I’d avail one of these coupon codes. Four hundred and ten pesos. That’s my Dasmariñas to Makati plus lunch and shipping and handling daily allowance times two unused. Basically, I have internships that require me to report only once in a while. Today is one of them.

Imagine. es2pido.com. How exciting.

Will inform you all once I already set this domain up. Of course, I will ask you how to do it.

On Monday, too, I’ll be volunteering (with my pocket ready for that 200 pesos) for the Monday polls next week. Volunteering? That would be standing outside, watching over the voters, and then after a few hours, scram. Would that be exciting? ^_^
