Ely Buendia Confirms The Reunion Concert
Rumor has it that you can get a ticket on the Marlboro website in the future. This is not yet confirmed, but I think, there’s nothing wrong signing up with them. It’s easy to unsubscribe anyway.

WordCamp Philippines 2008
Wazzup Manila Philippines? Do you know that I am already registered on the Wordcamp Philippines 2008? Yes, I am registered already.
 After playing some Free Online Flash Games last night and checking some Auto Insurance Quotes for my car, I’ve decided to check the Mindanao Bloggers blog. There, I found out about the event that they organized.
The event is free for everybody, but you must register and make a blog post about it. i.PH: the Domain for Individuals is one of the sponsors, together with Real Estate CRM, Real Estate Website Designers, Orange County Real Estate, Lane Systems Inc., RedMedia and all the other links on this blog post.
It will be held on September 6,2008 at the college of St., Benilde, Taft Avenue, Manila.
I will be there. Hope to see you there!
I’ve decided to embed the sponsors’ links on my paragraphs to make it unique and hopefully rank higher on the SEs.

My Google Adsense Story
In the beginning, I have a blog. But I didn’t have Adsense ad on it. And then I discovered Adsense last August 2005. I learned that I could earn some money on it. So, I put all their ad code on my blog and waited for the money to come. But I was disappointed. Here’s my post, dated March 03, 2006, telling how I was disappointed with Adsense. I even preferred Adbrite ads. 
ano ang mas maganda, adsense or adbrite? matagal na akong nakasign-up sa adsense, kaya may mga ads dyan sa sidebar at footer ng blog ko, na ang sabi, powered by google. may bayad sila dyan kada page impression. lately, nadiscover ko ang adbrite. at kung mapapansin nyo, unti-unti kong pinapalitan yung mga ads ko sa sidebar ng adbrite naman. bakit? kasi naman, sa tinagal-tagal ko nang nakasign-up sa adsense, i’m just averaging 2 cents per day. at sa adbrite, kakasign-up ko lang, at isang text ad pa lang yung nilagay ko dyan sa sidebar, 7 cents per day ang kita ko. so, i’ve decided na yun na ilalagay ko dyan. referral na lang at google search ang iiwan ko sa google. tsaka sa adbrite, pwede ka nang padalhan ng cheke if you earn $20, sa adsense kasi, $100 pa. medyo matagal tagal yan kung ang average mo lang ay 2 cents per day. hehehe.
so adbrite or adsense? obviously, alam nyo na kung ano ang choice ko.
yun lang!

Which is better, Adsense or Adbrite? It’s been a long time I’m signed-up with Adsense, that’s why you’ll see ads on the sidebar and footer of this blog labeled “Powered by Google”. They pay every page impression. Lately, I discovered Adbrite. And you’ll notice that I’m slowly replacing the Adsense ads with Adbrite ads. Why? Because, despite being signed-up for a very long time on Adsense, I’m just averaging 2 cents per day. And on Adbrite, I just recently signed-up, and I just put a single text ad on my sidebar, and I’m already earning 7 cents per day. So, I’ve decided to use it instead of Adsense. I’ll just use the referral ad and the Google search box here. And on Adbrite, they will send you checks if you earn $20. But on Adsense, you need $100. It will take me a longer time to reach that especially if I’m only averaging 2 cents per day. Hehehe.
So, Adbrite or Adsense? Obviously, you already know my choice.
See. I just jumped on the Adsense bandwagon when I first discovered it. Put the ads everywhere and waited for the money to come. And I only earned a whooping 2 cents per day. Hehe. That was more than 2 years ago.
During that time, I don’t know search engine optimization or SEO. I don’t know ad optimization. And there’s scarcity of bloggers talking about SEO. It was a puzzle to me on how those blogs on top of pinoytopblogs got thousands of visitors everyday.
Good thing, Marc Hil Macalua, the father of SEO Philippines, started an SEO contest. I did not join his first contest because I can’t afford to buy a domain name yet (or I didn’t know how ). What I did was I googled for an SEO e-book and found one that really helped me a lot. And to see if what it says is true, I started my text messages blog. I applied all the knowledge I learned on that SEO e-book, and the rest, they say, is history.
My Adsense earnings slowly went up, from a measly 2 cents per day, to 10 cents a day, to 50 cents a day, and to a dollar a day. By September 6, 2006, my Google Adsense earnings was already $94, nearing the $100 target. And Google already sent me my PIN. Here’s my blog post that day:
kahapon, nagtext sa akin ang father ko. sabi nya, “may dumating kang sulat dito, galing US, from Google!” well, tama nga sila, it takes 3 to 4 weeks bago mo mareceive yung sulat nila, sa akin, 3 weeks. ano bang sulat yun? no, hindi pa yun cheke dahil hindi pa naman ako nakakaabot ng $100. $94 pa lang ngayon eh. e ano nga yung sulat na yun? yun lang naman po yung PIN code ko. sabi kasi ng Google, magpapadala daw sila ng PIN sa postal address mo after your balance reached $50. it happened 3 weeks ago, at kahapon ko nga natanggap yung PIN nila. to know more about Google Adsense PIN, read this. Anong itsura nung sulat nila? hayaan nyo at scan ko next week. hehehe. pero ganito daw ang itsura. click here.

Yesterday, my father sent me a text message. He said, “There’s a letter for you here, from the US, from Google!” Well, they are right, it takes 3 to 4 weeks before you receive their letter. For me, it took 3 weeks. What’s that letter all about? That’s my PIN code. According to Google, they will send you a PIN to your postal address once your balance reached $50. It happened 3 weeks ago, and yesterday, I received my PIN. To know more about Google Adsense PIN, read this. What does their letter look like? Don’t worry and I’ll scan it next week. But according to them, it looks like this. Click here.
By November 2006, I received my first Google Adsense check which I posted here.
My First Google Adsense Check
And every month thereafter, I always reach the $100 quota. Increasing a little every month. It’s more than 2 years already. Before, I was earning just 2 cents per day. Today, $20 in a day is a bad day for me. Thanks to SEO.
How about you? What’s your Google Adsense story? Create a blog post and I will make a Google Adsense story list here.  Let’s share some inspiration to the newbies. (We could hijack the keyword Google Adsense if we unite! )

Watch The Dark Knight Movie For Free?
So, The Dark Knight is already showing. Halohalo.ph is having a Batman Quiz Challenge telling people that if you join them, you can watch the Dark Knight Movie for free.
 Sorry to burst your bubbles but it seems that their advertisement is kinda misleading. Yes, it’s true that they are having a Batman Quiz Challenge. And according to their terms and conditions, there will be 5 winners of 2 movie passes/tickets each. But the winners will be drawn on October 15, 2008.
How could you watch The Dark Knight movie for free using these movie passes if the draw date is on October 15? Is the movie still showing by that date? Or will they have a special Dark Knight movie viewing after the draw for the winners?
Unless The Dark Knight movie is still showing after October 15, they should stop telling people that you’ll have a chance to watch the Dark Knight movie for free if you join that quiz. You’ll win 2 movie passes, that’s the truth, but the chances of seeing The Dark Knight movie after October 15 is nil.
Anyway, you can still join their quiz and win 2 movie passes if you’re lucky, but I don’t guarantee that you’ll be able to watch the Dark Knight movie with those movie passes. If The Dark Knight is still showing by October 15, that would be a world record, isn’t it? Anyway, you can still watch any movie showing on that date for those movie passes if you win.
Update: I think I was wrong. It seems that they are going to give away free tickets everyday and the October 15 draw will be for the grand prize. Thanks sylverblade for pointing this out. But if you read the Terms And Conditions, you’ll get the same conclusion as mine. Isn’t it? Or I’m the only one who sees it that way? Am I right or am I wrong?
Update: I joined the quiz and after answering all the questions, it says that “The winner will be drawn on October 15, 2008″. No daily draw was mentioned. So, it seems that I am right on my first post.

The Puto King Trademark Conflict
This is just a hypothetical scenario and did not happen in the real world. Let us say that Puto King is a trademark of a certain restaurant here in the Philippines. They have the trademark for the word “Puto King”, and no company can create another restaurant with the name Puto King, right?
Now, let us say that in the other side of the world, for example, USA, a contest was held where people will compete for the most number of puto eaten in 5 minutes. A certain John Doe won and ever since, people who knew him started calling him “Puto King”.
Now, a certain blogger on the USA, Jane, then posted about the event and called John Doe, Puto King on her post: Puto King Eats The Most Puto!
The questions. Does the Puto King in the Philippines have the right to cry foul? Do they have the right to contact Jane and ask her to take down her blog post because Puto King is trademarked in the Philippines and no one in the world can refer to other Puto King except for the restaurant?
Your thoughts on this please. Cause I’m in Jane’s almost similar situation right now.

Eraserheads Reunion Free Concert Tickets
I think, everybody online already knew that Eraserheads will indeed have a one-night-only reunion concert on August 30, 2008 at the CCP Open Grounds. However, up to now, nobody knows where to get the tickets yet.
Rumor has it the the concert tickets will be free. And it will be downloadable early August. But where can we download it? Up to now, I’m still waiting for the official announcement.
I’ll update this post when the official website has been announced. Don’t worry, I’ll do my best to get that information as soon as possible. I just need to contact the guy with the neck tie on this picture (feeling close!) :
Ely Buendia With Us On NU Rock Awards
Just stay tuned on this blog. Ok?
That’s all for now.
Update (July 24):
Eraserheads Reunion Ticket
Source: Apol
This guy seems so lucky he already have a ticket. Judging with the photo quality, it seems authentic. Though there’s no official announcement yet, I think you must go and register to the Marlboro Red List to get a ticket in the future. I registered and they requested a scanned copy of my ID to prove that I’m 18+ years old. I’m still waiting for their approval.
