Plate Numbers
I think it would be great if car owners can freely select their own private plate numbers to match their personalities. Through the site, Personalised Number Plates, you can search a wide selection of private number plates and choose what's fit for you. I think this is a good service because they will also do the paperworks for you.

Blogging: Yesterday and Today
I started the interest for websites when i was in high school, i played around MS Publisher and made an offline site about our high school class. When i was in my second year college, i saw my classmate's xanga and became interested with blogs. I used blogspot and then was hosted by some kind private domain owners. I remembered i had subdomains in, dynamikz.org, brokensonnet.com, fall-out.org, I think those domains are nowhere to be found now. I became busy with school and church so i stopped at late 2006 until i ended my college. I tried to make some blogs but they were not succesful. I came back after college and the blogging world became a little different.
BEFORE:
1.) My online friends are people with the same age as mine (at that time), teenagers and talented aspiring artists.
2.) We design our own layouts/themes and i was looking forward to see new designs almost monthly.
3.) Tagboards were empty or half-empty. XD
4.) Blogs were more diary-like, people were quite emo.
5.) No-no to advertisements.
NOW:
1.) My online friends are people of different ages, mostly 20 up like me.
2.) Most people use pre-designed templates.
3.) Tagboards are busy and often victim to spamming. XD
4.) More information in blogs, lesser personal stuff.
5.) More advertisements, more possible earnings.
I think BEFORE still exists it's just me that shifted from BEFORE to NOW or this blog is actually a mix. BUT still, we can not deny the change that online marketing has done with the blogging world.
-----------------
I have 450+ MB unused space (for now) in boatsong.net, i'm thinking of having subdomain hostees but i have to learn about it before accepting hostees.

Earnings Update
TRIOND
I wrote some articles and they're gaining some cents per day. lol. I don't write often so it's ok. For some articles, about 7 articles, i've been paid $3.95. And i haven't written anything in the whole month of September.
CIAO
I gained $5.62 in my first month with 5 simple reviews and some ratings for other members. I just tried this if they are really paying, and they did pay me. They pay if your account reaches $5. So i'm focusing on Ciao now because it's quite easy.
-------Join Ciao.com--------
PAID POSTS
I'm just starting on this, i think my blog is ready and i've signed up to the sites three months ago. I'm now on Buyblogreviews where i've never won a bid and just starting out in Socialspark. Any tips for me? thanks.
Just these, i think i had a good start.

Less Blogging
PAGE RANK
What do you see, 0 or 3?
SEMBREAK
I spent my last sembreak in front of the desktop watching the episodes of Naruto from the very first episode to the start of the filler episodes. And then i skipped the filers and read the manga, and then went to Shippuden episodes and then continued with the manga. :)
Thanks for the comments and awards, online friends. Godbless. :)

Forums and Dreams
Another forum is PhilWeavers. I was visiting this site years ago but i just decided to join last month. There's so much to learn from here if you are into web designing and web developing. I also knew that i'm not alone with my sentiment
I got inspired. Now i want to be graphic artist/web developer/web designer. :)

Joomlers
------
For the online life, i joined Philweavers.net and post some responds and questions there. It's a really nice site if you are into web designing. I also played around my cPanel and messed up with Joomla! -> i really do not know what it is but since i've been always reading about it, i decided to install it because it's available. I signed up for Odesk.com and they give me daily updates about the available freelance works and most of the works involve using this Joomla thing. I kind of understand it now.

God bless.

Day of Monday
I'm wondering why Moneysense picked Bacolod as the no.1 place to live in the Philippines. There's a scarcity of job opportunities here...hehe, sounds bitter. :P
---
I just discovered that there is Nuffnang Philippines already. Just some months ago when i wanted to join that site, it was only available for Malaysia and Singapore. Good thing, it's now available here. I checked the site and it looks cool. The Analytics part is awesome.
I just realized that i kept on clicking that Nuffnang ad to go to their site --> that's bad right?
Oh well, bye, Godbless.

Job Hunting?
I also had a day when me and two other classmates submitted resumes to the establishments in Bacolod. I submitted about 9 resumes for that day. Only one called and interviewed and i believe i failed that interview. On Monday, i will go to this building to submit an application ( I would have to call them first to see if the position is still open) although, i have already submitted an application by e-mail. hehe. They actually might be annoyed with me.
I just do not want to be late because almost a month ago, i saw a job posting that i really liked. It was Thursday but i submitted on Monday. When I called them, the girl told me that they already have a line up for that job. Yeah, and i thought, all the Engineering, IT and IT related grads in Bacolod + all the other job hunters are waiting too, just like me, so i have to be quick and most of all, ready.
I'm just armed with prayer and holding on to God's promises. haha. If it's for me, it's for me!

I'm Back!
I reverted back to the blogger classic templates because i still do not give enough time to learn xml. Besides, i learned and reviewed many valuables lessons upon making this layout.
I also removed unnecessary things like ads, the world visitor map, mybloglog, and homepagesfriends banner.
I can not remember my cbox account so i can not change the colors of it.
---
I missed blogging, and the bloghopping, i knew that Google Pagerank Update was done already and i didn't acquire any rank, still in the zero-ness. But I'm glad that my Alexa and Technorati ranks are doing good.
Online Earnings? well, i've put that down some steps away from my top priorities, as i have read somewhere, profit will come from what you enjoy doing. hehe.
---
Anyway, i searched for cupcakes in Flickr for this layout and that got me drooling over those cute and yummy-looking cupcakes, why don't you try looking at Bakerella's photostream.
---
For the personal side, I still am jobless, i submitted some applications in the passed month and this month but still am not hearing anything from them.
---
Do you have a Deviantart? Mine is Summersent. :)
Okay Godbless!

For the person(s) who commented on my last post:
Kittykat - thanks for the comment! :)

Listen to Slicethepie.com
Yes: As a music liker, i really enjoyed the site at first. But this site will be best for those who are music lovers and are equipped enough to give constructive criticisms for the artists in the site. The artists are mostly amateurs and they really need quality feedback. The pay is alright for me, considering it's not too much work. I can even browse other sites while listening to the songs.
No: There were some songs that i find hard to give comments to. I don't want to give comments such as “It's ok, the best, good work” because it will affect my scouting level. I might get stuck with my current level if i do that. Also, i find it boring when it's done for hours,because of the mixed genres i'm listening to. Some songs are not my type but i just judge them not personally but musically So, my plot is to go to the site whenever i feel like listening to music and then do the scouting.
This is also a site for artists, if you have an amateur band or you are recording your songs, you can sign up for as an artist and get your songs be judged. That will really be helpful. Just check out Slicethepie.com.
Earning With Mylot
Mylot is a social community just like Friendster but it is more dedicated to the discussions rather than the socializing part. Here, you can be paid to start new topics and respond to existing topics. You can also rate (+ or -) the posts of the mylot members. The calculation for mylot earnings, as i have read is not clearly stated but there are some succesful mylot members who gave tips on how to achieve the minimum payout for mylot beginners.
x Make your posts meaningful. Never post one word replies, because it will be deleted and do not respond to one word replies because your post will be deleted too.
x If you are starting a new discussion, upload an image with it. Upload many images, that's what one mylot newbie told me as the reason why he reached a dollar with just 50+ posts.
x Post in different topics.
x Make use of every feature mylot has.
I'm still new to mylot so i don't have much to say or advise to mylot starters. I find this site very informative if you are on the quest to making money online. I am just annoyed by too much discussions about PTC (paid to click) since i don't do PTC anymore. I gave ALL of them up. Oh, maybe i can use my betiti.com funds for advertising Meia online. Anyway, just try Mylot if you haven't yet. Sign up to mylot.

What is xml?
Right now, i am searching for xml tutorials, e-books anyone? or suggestions? I need to learn that. I'm still on the search. I also wanted to have my own domain but doesn't have enough money, i really don't have because i don't have work yet. I just started to look for legit online jobs: GPT's and they realy give me headaches. Get paid to click, surf, read, display ads, discuss, etc. I am not really going to stay in all of those, i'm just trying some. Arghh, all of these stuff are tiring. But i'm still happy that i'm alive. Thank God.

Featuring 11 Fan Art Artists of Deviantart
1.) kunoichi-san – She is an artist residing in Poland and a fan of Yondaime (Minato). My favorites among her works are the Naruto-Hinata and Yondaime artworks.
2.) idnar – Idnar is more on the realistic aspect. It's nice to see a realistic Orochimaru, Sasuke and many others.
3.) NorthenBanshee – Another one in the semi-realistic to realistic scene. My favorite would the Akatsuki (Red Moon Inc.). Just find that one.
4.) Melllorine - Melllorine's works are mostly Naruto characters. I just love her choice of colors.
5.) toontwins - You must check them if you are a Naruto fan and want to laugh.
6.) pokefreak - A gallery mostly of Naruto characters again. My favorite of which is the Uchiha family portrait *sad*.

8.) nekozumi - Nekozumi's main works are of Naruto and Bleach. I thought some were screenshots at first.
9.) nekoni - Colorful works. Check Nekoni's Naruto Tensei manga. :)
10.) sasorisama - Sasorisama is residing in Spain. Featured in his works are the Uchiha brothers, Naruto, Sakura, Kakashi and more of Naruto...and of course there's Sasori.
11.) guardianspirit - Yay! i've just discovered Guardianspirit (my favorite now). I really admire her use of colors, the soft touch of her artworks and the humor also. She is always featuring the Akatsuki members. Just check my fave -> Slumber Party.
12.) Me! - Joke!

My brother is playing too.
Then he played. He chose to be a blader. And i think he is really enjoying it now. I never thought he would because he doesn't like rpg's. He's always into NBA live and have no patience in roaming around the villages, distributing points and planning. Hmm, now i have a competition in using my laptop. That's why i tried to install the game in our old desktop but it's too slow for mmorpg's. Okay, but it's still fine. I know he's going to surpass my level soon. There's a possibility that i'll delete this part. :)
MANGA - NARUTO 411
It was boring. hehe. It was all about Sasuke. I want to see other characters!
ANIME
I really don't have much time about anime this days. But i just download. Someone from Friendship and Counseling Forum told me that Macross Frontier is a good one. Someone from deviantart recommended Claymore. Aarggh, so many animes, so little time. I haven't even watched the ending episodes of avatar. Avatar is already finished? that's really sad.

12 Cool and Cute USB Designs
How does your USB look like? Mine is just looking usual unlike the ones down. While most of us are using and buying USB's in the tradtional shapes and sizes, some people that are techy + creative are making unique designs of these memory sticks. Of course, they're USB's, in the technical side, they're all the same. But when we want to showcase our individuality through our USB's, it's not a crime to spend, right? I've searched for images of usb designs and chose the cute looking ones to feature. There are so many designs, but I just chose 12.
1.) USB with crystals for a glamorous nerd. (That's not me :P)
2.) Cute to the max. I really like the drawings and color combinations used.3.) Halo 3 USB design.
4.) Mickey mouse shape with photo frame is cute too. I like the reddish one.
5.) A robot USB design. I just remembered my college life. lol.
6.) Doggie bones. The colors are neat too.
7.) For the sake of sake. I just remembered Rock Lee. Cool looking laptop there.
8.) That set looks yummy.
9.) The old tape has been revived with this tape USB design.
10.) Yummy or is this really USB?
11.) I want the pink one.
12. The wooden design. This is probably my favorite.
All the pictures used in this blog post are not mine. I got them from different sites and I didn't have the time and will to trace the original owners of the pictures. Thank you.
