Nag Dadamo sa UPIS

It's not what you think.

As I was doing some stuff over the net, I caught the scent of freshly cut grass and it came with the drone of an electric lawn mower. The scent always brings me back to Grade 2.

UPIS in 1982 was surrounded by large tracts of land with grass and weeds. In one of those days when I was just half listening, there was a lawn mower guy going about his business cutting grass. It's such a pleasant smell for me that it stuck through all these years providing what could be my only Grade 2 memory.

Bacon, Fishball and Old Briefs

Early this morning while eating sinangag with my omelet, I decided to cook bacon as well. I saw it last night but since meat before sleeping is not good for my renewed efforts to lose weight, I let is pass until the morning.

In the past, I always hear people request that their bacon should be toasted. Meanwhile I want my bacon soft, a little oily and salty. In the world of steaks, my bacon will be considered medium rare. Very slight crunchiness.

Quite the opposite, I always request my tindera beside the chapel na tustahin ang fishball at chicken ball. One reason for the difference in preference is probably the impression of cleanliness. Since our sidewalk fishballs are generally considered dirty, it gives me a little more security to have boil in oil a few minutes longer. The texture of fishball also seems incorrectly raw if you don't toast it.

The briefs are not really part of the discussion. It was just top-of-mind when I thought of bacon. FYI, you won't believe how much porn you'll see if you try searching for pictures of old briefs. Well, that's that for that visual aid.

Wishing it was over

I can't wait for December 26!!! No more traffic! No more irritating holiday cheer! Faster time! Faster! For the past 10 years or so, this has consistently been the most stressful time for me.

Pagod sa Pagoda

I just had a flashback. I had a thread with a friend when all of a sudden, I remembered the old Pagoda we had in UPIS. So naturally I Googled it. And what do you know? There's a picture of it.

So this is where we used to hang out as HS students. Underneath the yero, there's about a 3-inch gap before a wooden horizontal panel. What do we do with that? We play basketball of course. We had tennis balls and we shot it across the gap. Yep, it's not a round basket. We even had a free throw and a 3-point zone.

But the best part of all was that we had dunking contests! To be 5'4 and dunking. That's a good day.

Work from Home Opportunities / Make Money On-line

These are the ones I'm trying out. I will provide regular feedback about how I'm doing. Perhaps it will help you as well. Try them out too and let me know how well it's been working out for you.

But before you check any of those programs out, you must have a means of getting.  That's the bottom line here, right?  Make sure you have a Paypal and an Alertpay account. 

Get Paid to Participate in Discussions in MYLOT - Mylot is a general forum.  You earn money by participating in various fora.  The rates are not published.  Your earnings are determined by an algorithm.  As far as we can tell, both length and quality of posts have a bearing.  Among the various opportunities, this is probably one of the most enjoyable.

NEOBUX - The most well known of all PTC sites. You basically get 4 ads to view per day.  There are options like renting referrals and upgrading your membership to get more clicks. I've seen people getting paid by Neobux in many forums and threads.




TREKPAY - Earns the same way as Neobux.  Among the PTCs, this generally has the most advertisers.  That means more clicks for you.  However, the earnings are pretty much in line with the others.



iNVITE5 - This is a paid to click (PTC) site.  Unlike the others, this requires a toolbar download and you can view ads anytime you want.  The concept is nice although I find the ads a little limited. 



PAID MAILZ - It's your basic PTC although once in the site you click on an ad banner.  Quite different in that respect from Neobux.  The earnings so far for this have been limited, but it adds up too.




PALMBUX - This is one of the Neobux copycats.  Basically everything with a "bux" that I've seen looks like Neobux with a different color.   As long as it pays like Neobux, right?



PAID2YOUTUBE - You get paid to watch videos.  Recently became a little more high tech and now has timers in the ads.



CLICKSENSE - Your basic PTC site.  I've seen some reviews of people getting paid, although I personally find the ads limited.



UPBUX - It's one of the Neobux copycats.  You've seen one, you've seen them all.



TAZOODLE - It's a search engine with a twist. Basically, you do your searches and there will be ads displayed (just like Google or Yahoo). However, when you do check out the ads, you will get a share of the ad revenue. You are allowed to check out 20 ads per day and you tend to get more here than other paid to click (PTC) sites.

It's worth a look.


Make sure you create an Alertpay account so you'll get paid.
