For one, I have been a an ever-loyal Globe Handyphone subscriber ever since the advent of GSM and the popularity of prepaid phones and texting back in 1999. Okay, I know prepaid phones were Smart's idea through their "BillCrusher" scheme which definitely came earlier. But anyway, what I'm trying to say is that the first time I signed-up for a postpaid plan, in 2000 I think, I've always been with Globe. And I'm still with Globe until now. I did try Smart prepaid for a while solely because I've always wanted to try new things, and at that time I temporarily switched to Smart. I did so because of SmartMoney. It was shining, shimmering, splendid that time and the idea of a new mobile-based money service seemed like an interesting feature to toy with. So yes, Smart was first, yet again, to introduce mobile money/payment service. But since most of my family and friends were on Globe, a switch-back became inevitable, specially when I realized that I have no "real need" for that service at that time.

I started blogging late December of last year (2007) and have not stopped since. Not only is it therapeutic and fun, it is also fulfilling and rewarding. And I'm not just talking about the intangible kind. I'm also referring to the more tangible part of it -- in this case, monetary reward. If you've been surfing for quite some time now, I'm sure you somehow know what I'm talking about. And yes, you've guessed it right, smart reader -- paid blogging. Sounds too hard for a newbie blogger? Well, you'd be delighted to know that it actually isn't difficult at all. My discovery, SocialSpark has proved and showed me just how easy it is for new bloggers to earn from their blogs. Continue reading →
I got this new UMobile sim yesterday delivered right at my doorstep. I signed up for this almost a week ago and I'm just so happy I got mine that fast. Other blogger and Plurk friends have told me they haven't gotten theirs yet. I am excited about the Continue reading →
If you're already on Twitter, that's cool. But you should know that there's a new micro-blogging platform on the block known to the "hip" world as Plurk. I've recently joined..late this month and have been enjoying "plurking" ever since. It's a Twitter-like service, only "cooler". :) Continue reading →
This site is offsetting all electricity use with wind-generated Renewable Energy Certificates which prevent the release of 2,660 metric tons of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere each year.That’s equivalent to planting nearly 2,390 acres of trees, or removing 510 cars from the road. Reinforcing my commitment to combating climate change.
