Blogging and Money

I’ve heard so much about it from friends especially from Neil (who is my blogging mentor and inspiration), he said it has a good payment scheme. Needless to say, I signed up and was happy when I was approved.

    Lad Madrigal: Nakakatuwa, napaka informative at talagang helpful ang blog mo. Rating: 11 out of 10 haha.
    Edelweiza: Hi der! I admire BF, too. I always see him during Cabinet events in the Palace as our office is the one in-charge of them. It’s his strong character and sincere efforts to “urbanize” the metropolis and us city dwellers that keeps me an avid fan. He belongs to a very rare breed of public officials that really walk the talk. I think he deserves all the support he can get from Filipinos. :D
    Dennis: I was once a passerby, ngaun mukang magiging regular reader at “avid fan” na din! hahaha!

    Tapsiboy: Marikina is my happy and comfort place.
