Music Inspired By Ragnarok Online. I have uploaded these videos on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/maruelkyle">my YouTube account</a> about 2 years ago. I know that there are sites that can extract and convert the flash video (flv) used by <a href="http://www.youtube.com/">YouTube</a> into another format, but I still want to share with you the original files I used which is in movie file (mpeg) format. Kuya Pao gave me permission to share and let other people download the original files I used in uploading the videos about a year ago, I just don’t have the time to look for a nice online storage facility and upload it. Anyway, download link(s) will be posted after each video. Enjoy! :D</span></span></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:120%;">Moonstar88 - Torete</span><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bF-rpRwUUNA&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/bF-rpRwUUNA&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><a href="http://www.snapdrive.net/files/99595/Moonstar88/Moonstar88%20-%20Torete.mpg">Download Link</a><br />(Right click, then "Save Target As" or "Save Link As")</span></span></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:120%;">Moonstar88 -

So, what are my reasons for neglecting my blog this time? I spend my whole summer vacation with my family, some relatives and friends like last summer and after that, I spend more than two months in doing our thesis. Those two reasons are forgivable, right? Come on, family, friends, and thesis, what other things can you think of that will consume most out your free time, haha! :D</span></span></div>Maruelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14594148538719465770noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8026719.post-77334709354276825732008-05-05T09:48:00.003+08:002008-05-05T10:38:53.368+08:00Mac Games and More!<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">The following is a paid review:</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Looking for <a href="http://www.macgamesandmore.com/">mac games</a> to install on your new Mac or on your old Mac that need some new, fun, and exciting mac games?

MSG, my high school barkada, have been planning this trip since March and I'm happy that it pushed through. We are about 24 or 26 in our barkada, about 11 or 12 came on the meeting 4 days before we left Manila, and only 7 came (Maruel, Arvin, Chan, Demet, Carlos, Jon, Dex) on April 11. It still fun even if we are just only 7 but it would have been great it all had come. Wishing all of you have been there with us, hehe! :)<br /><br /></span></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Ok, I don't know where to start, haha!

A budget of 2kPhp to 3kPhp is sufficient not unless you want to ride a banana boat (200 per head), go island hopping and snorkeling (2kPhp?), and/or go Para sailing (1.5kPhp per head). I didn't factored in the expenses we use for our food because we brought canned good and just bought rice from the "carinderia" so I didn't really know how much we spent on food. All I can say is Puerto Galera is like a much cheaper alternative to Boracay, hehe! :)</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">So that's all.

I cashed it out last February, a week or two after I made a post about the statuses of all the <a href="http://maruel.blogspot.com/2008/01/one-with-all-of-paid-to-click-ptc-sites.html">Paid To Click (PTC) sites</a> that I joined, and it arrived in our mailbox just 2 days ago.

Yeah, as you all can see, a little part of it is torn. I don't know why but it looked liked this when I opened the envelope. I hope I can still encash it without problems. Regardless whether it is in good condition or a little part of it is torn, this proof will be the 1st or 2 proofs. The 2nd one would be the money, receipt, or something that says the that I have encashed it and I have received the money. I'll try to encash it on Tuesday. Wish me luck!</span></span></div>Maruelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14594148538719465770noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8026719.post-2124563350861561872008-04-04T21:16:00.002+08:002008-04-04T21:24:32.035+08:00Spring awakening<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">A survey about spring.

I took a 4 day break from blogging from March 20 to 23 and became busy with all the school work including our failed thesis. I know this is bad considering that my blog is not popular and I should be consistent in making posts. So, for this not to happen again, I should prepare reserve posts when I have the time.<br /><br />Reserve posts are posts that are made in advance and are ready to be published. This posts may have any topic you have in mind or posts informing your readers where you are and why you are taking a break. You can publish this ahead of time, before you have your break with the option of choosing the post date you want or publish it while you're on your break if you have any mobile device that can connect to the internet. I know some bloggers out there are also doing this because we can see that they are still updating their blog even if they said that they will have a vacation. So from now on, I'll try to make reserve posts if I had the time. :)</span></span></div>Maruelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14594148538719465770noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8026719.post-15521223564724705282008-03-19T20:32:00.009+08:002008-03-19T23:39:36.821+08:00the one with BlogBank's Blogspot problem<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;" >The following post is a copy of the <a href="http://blog.blogbank.com.ph/2008/03/15/ad-codes-on-blogspot-blogs/#comment-19">comment</a> that I tried to post on the article "<a href="http://blog.blogbank.com.ph/2008/03/15/ad-codes-on-blogspot-blogs/">Ad codes on Blogspot Blogs</a>" on <a href="http://blogbank.com.ph/">BlogBank</a>'s <a href="http://blog.blogbank.com.ph/">official blog</a>.

I just don't know if its ok to them that I refactored their code. I'm temporarily assuming that it's ok because of the smiley =) at the end their reply, hehe! :D Lets just wait for their next post about this issue. I hope they are still properly tracking the ads I placed.</span></span></div>Maruelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14594148538719465770noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8026719.post-88621683387015508942008-03-19T19:02:00.002+08:002008-03-19T19:21:48.439+08:00Hamburgers and French Fries<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">A very short survey, having only 3 questions, about hamburgers and french fries.

As you can see, its not that much as 60-80 drops is just the 20%-27% of the total drops you can make each day which is 300 drops, but two weeks ago, the cost to advertise on this blog through Entrecard hit the 100EC credit mark. That means that even if I don't drop my card that much, a large percentage of the entrecarders, which I dropped my card, reciprocates a drop. I also noticed that the same entrecarders drop their card to me everyday and have become, sort of, like, my regular droppers. Thank you regular droppers, haha! I've been also trying to drop on every entrecarder that have dropped on me for the past week so the cost to advertise on this blog is now going to reach the 200EC credit mark.

Smorty's services benefits both the advertisers and bloggers. Advertisers can sign up at Smorty, start ad campaigns, and distribute it to bloggers while bloggers that have signed up at Smorty wait for these ad campaigns, write opinions about it, and <a href="http://www.smorty.com/">get paid to blog</a>. It's a win win situation for both advertisers and bloggers alike.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;">For advertisers, the first step is to sign up and open a <a href="http://www.smorty.com/">blog advertising</a> account. After opening a blog advertising account, create an ad campaign. Create a topic for your ad campaign, think of the keywords you want to be used for this ad campaign, and provide the links to be used for the keywords. Wait for Smorty administrators to review and approve your ad campaign. When you ad campaign is approved, it will be distributed to bloggers so that they can review your site and the services that it offers. Once the bloggers are finished with their articles, you can now review their blog posts and decide if the description, keywords, and links you have provided have been followed. After the the blog posts have been approved, all you have to do is sit down and watch as your site climb the search engines and receive traffic.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;">For bloggers, the first step is to sign up and open an an account. After opening an account and signing up as a blogger, submit your blog and wait for Smorty administrators to review and approve it. Once your blog has been approved, you're now ready to receive tasks associated with the ad campaigns that are suitable for your blog. Smorty will email you these suitable ad campaigns and you can login to your account to accept these tasks. Make a blog post taking into account the keywords that should be used and the links that are provided to be linked with those keywords. After making the blog post, go back to your account and enter the details of the blog post you have made and wait for its approval. You <a href="http://www.smorty.com/">get paid for blogging</a> after your blog post have been approved. Bloggers are paid weekly through PayPal.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;">So if you're an advertiser and you wants to <a href="http://www.smorty.com/">advertise on blogs</a> or if you're a blogger who wants to <a href="http://www.smorty.com/">blog for money</a>, Smorty is just the site for you!</span></div>Maruelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14594148538719465770noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8026719.post-38886809780137406342008-03-11T11:13:00.002+08:002008-03-11T11:34:40.541+08:00Pics -- Capture the Moment and the Soul<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">This is an interesting survey that revolves around pictures, digital pictures to be exact.

Giving and getting tips is easy with Tipit.to. You can give tips by clicking a button or a link on a website that will bring you directly to their tipjar. All you have to do is supply an email and the amount you want to tip. You can also give a comment if you want. If you don't have an account yet, Tipit.to will provide you one through the email you have given. You don't have to sign up before you can give a tip. You can also give a tip to any domain you like even if they haven't signed up yet. Just construct a URL in this form, http://tipit.to/DOMAIN (e.g. https://tipit.to/www.yoursite.com). To get tips, just sign up and put buttons and links to your website that links to your tipjar. Easy, isn't it? You can visit their <a href="https://tipit.to/FAQ">FAQ page</a> and <a href="http://blog.tipit.to/">blog</a> for more info.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">I think what's great about <a href="https://tipit.to/">Tipit.to</a> is that they enable their users to give tips in tiny amounts, as low as $0.01. I think this would be great for me because I don't want to put a "Buy Me A Beer" link on each post because I know it won't work like my "Make A Donation" button. I think people hesitate to give tips using these because the minimum amount of $1 is too high. They will likely to give tips with the amount that won't hurt their PayPal accounts, $0.01, haha!</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">I will be giving my first tip, or should I say first tips, to 4 websites. $1 each for <a href="http://www.macuha.com/">Macuha</a> and <a href="http://www.yugatech.com/">Yugatech</a> for all the things I learned there, $0.10 for Entrecard for the bringing me to ReapMoneyOnline and $0.10 for ReapMoneyOnline for the info. I hope they'll accept it. Anyway, it will go back to me if they don't want to, hehe!<br /><br /></span></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">I will be putting links and buttons on this blog so that you can tip me if you want or you can also tip me now, haha!

I submitted a ticket to <a href="http://tinyurl.com/2czo9q">PayPerPost</a>'s Support Center hoping they can answer my questions about reserving opportunities given the current status of my PageRank.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;" >Here is the actual ticket that I submitted:</span><br /><br /><span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;" >Ticket Description</span><br /><span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;" >Topic: PPP Posties (Bloggers)</span><br /><span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;" >Topic Details: Reserving Opportunity</span><br /><span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;" >Summary: I think I received a "Google Slap".</span><br /><span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;" >Description:</span><br /><blockquote style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;">I think I received a "Google Slap" and my PageRank suddenly decreased from 2 to 0.

I understand your ticket yet, there is nothing we can do. I have noticed several tickets this week with the same issue. It seems mid post or while working on an opp, the posters PR dropped, no longer making them eligible to submit the opp after they had written it. This is because said opp required a larger PR then the user has at time of submit. This is no one's fault, and all we can say is sorry that the post became unavailable due to reasons beyond our control. Google has decided to drop PR w/o warning and it is affecting all our users. To answer your question, yes, you should not be eligible for opps that require PR1 or more. We are actually in the near future moving away from PR to yahoo back link rankings so this should not happen again. Sorry for any convenience and thanks for understanding!<br /><br /><br />Scott</span></blockquote><br /><br /><span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;" >As what I had mentioned before about that <a href="http://maruel.blogspot.com/2008/03/one-when-google-slapped-me.html">Google slapping incident</a> that happened to me, this is happening all throughout the blogosphere and I'm not alone. It's a good idea that PayPerPost is moving away from PageRank and switching to Yahoo back link rankings because all those blogs that are selling links will eventually receive some slapping from Google until all those blogs have a PageRank of 0 and nobody would ever qualify for an opp that requires a PageRank of 1 and above, haha! I think we can ask for reconsideration (I just don't know how, hehe!) but giving us our PageRank back without us ever asking is nicer, hehe! At this point, I'm not really worried now that I lost my PageRank, unlike the first I find out about it, but ironically, I still want it back.</span></div>Maruelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14594148538719465770noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8026719.post-88520133222399313792008-03-04T22:46:00.002+08:002008-03-04T22:58:48.934+08:00the one with my Disclosure Policy<div style="text-align: justify;font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;">This policy is valid from 04 March 2008<br /><br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;"> This blog is a personal blog written and edited by me.

I'm not really sure if Google did this to me directly or some of the sites linking to me got a "Google Slap" or "PR Slap" but my <a href="http://www.google.com/technology/">PageRank</a> just suddenly went down from 2 to 0.</span><br /><br /><span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;" >It happened yesterday. I logged in at my account at <a href="http://tinyurl.com/2czo9q">PayPerPost</a> and when I was checking out the opportunities that I'm qualified to take, I was surprised to find out that there are no opportunities that I can take because I'm not qualified for any. I was qualified for about 10-12 opportunities the last time I checked before that. I think the PayPerPost's PageRank checker is telling the truth because I also checked my PageRank at other sites like <a href="http://www.prchecker.info/">PRchecker.info</a>, <a href="http://www.iwebtool.com/pagerank_checker">iWebTool</a>, and <a href="http://www.smartpagerank.com/pagerank-backlinks.php">Smart PageRank</a> and my PageRank there is also 0. Well, <a href="http://pr.blogflux.com/">Blog Flux</a> seems to say that my PageRank is still 2.</span><br /><br /><span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;" >I know that this is happening all throughout the blogosphere but this is the first that it happened to me so, for the meantime, I'll just observe my PageRank for a couple of days. Maybe its a mistake and Google will give me my 2 points back. I hope its a mistake. I don't want to write a letter of reconsideration, haha!</span></div>Maruelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14594148538719465770noreply@blogger.com1
