Addicted To Blog

I am facing court martial soon if I don't stop blogging and surfing other people's blogs. I have to write several articles today, the deadlines of which are already dead! Meaning, they were due several days ago. But I can't help but write a post now and then and browse other blogs as well.

After reading rhodilee’s blog, I knew there was something wrong with me!

Wednesday Movie Blog: Bee Movie



Wednesdays from now on, will be Wednesday Movie Blog. Take your pick of the best movies in town. Most cinemas in the city change movies during Wednesdays so if you want to relax but don't know which movies are showing, just drop by this blog.

Bee Movie
SM Cinema 2 12:15/2:00/3:45/5:30/7:00
NCCC Cinema 4 12:25/2:20/4:15/6:10

I've been hounding both SM and NCCC cinema with queries as to when they will be showing this movie. Did that since I first saw the poster last November. No, I am not a 5-year old kid but kiddie movies arouse my interest. They have simple plots yet they tell us about life and make us want to enjoy life more with its simplicity. Adults make life complicated. Maybe this is why I'll never grow old.

The Bee Movie talks about real life only in simple terms. It talks about a bee who thinks he deserves a better job than making honey. Isn't that what most of us yearn for everyday---a better job?

National Treasure: Book of Secrets
SM Cinema 1 11:20/1:45/4:10/6:35
NCCC Cinema 2 12:00/2:30/5:00

This is another movie that will surely entertain you especially if you love mysteries, treasure hunting and of course Nicolas Cage! This is a sequel to the National Treasure which was a hit among moviegoers enough to warrant another episode. This movie talks about Abe Lincoln's assassination and other conspiracy theories of the US government., If you love Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code then you will surely love this movie.

Of course, I haven't seen Sakal, Sakali,Saklolo yet but the first one (Kasal, Kasali, Kasalo) is a riot and I loved it! The movie, which was a Manila Film Festival entry, has been extended and you can still catch it at both SM and NCCC Cinemas.

Why I Love Pay Per Post?


I saw these payperpost affiliate icons while browsing some of the websites and I became interested. Well, anything legit enough that allows me to make additional income interests me, so I browsed further and looked at the paid posts. What made me warm up to the idea of pay per posts is that most of the entries I read seemed to be interesting facts, not just plain advertisements, about products and places.

However, it took me about a two weeks (maybe more?) before I was able to take an Opportunity at payperpost (that means writing offers) since it took sometime before my blog got approved. Kudos to the support team because they immediately got back to me and helped me with my dilemma since I could not get a complete look at the opportunity details.


What I love about this gig is that it allows me to choose which opportunities to take and to write about. A quick look at the various opportunities offered for registered and approved sites made me salivate as there are indeed a lot of opportunities to choose from. Unfortunately, these opportunities are classified and you can only get the opportunities that fits the requirements (which includes blog rank, the hosting site you are using and your location).

I have yet to get paid for this blogging opportunity but judging from the earnings that most of my friends got from their posts, I am looking forward to finally having enough to buy that videocam this year.


Taxi: public or private?


Is anything wrong with this photo?

Well, the photo looks just right even if taken while the photographer was mobile. However, something is wrong with this Maligaya taxi's plate number. This taxi traveled all the way from Matina, through the Ulas police outpost (where Land Transportation People are usually stationed) and onto Mintal and yet no authority seems to have noticed its problematic plates.

Taxi units are for hire vehicles and are supposed to have yellow plate numbers. So why is this taxi ferrying passengers with a green plate?

COA probes P71M People's Park


The Commission on Audit is set to probe the P71 million People's Park, which according to some people has been overpriced. COA is about to form a technical committee to take charge of the investigation.

This came after some sectors hinted that the death of broadcaster Ferdi "Batman" Lintuan was linked to his rants against the alleged overpricing of the park. The park has playground facilities for children, lots of stone sculptures by Kublai lighting fixtures, benches and several waterfalls.

The park already sparked a controversy after most Dabawenyos (and even outsiders) signified their disenchantment with the choice of name as it does not at all signify any unique characteristic of the City of Davao.


Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte will take a leave of absence in line with COA's investigation. he has also irrevocably resigned as chair of the Regional Peace and Order Council, a post he has held for the past 12 years. Dabawenyos would not miss the name Duterte though as Davao's political scene is awash with Dutertes---his daughter Sara is Vice Mayor while his son Paulo is president of the Association of Barangay Captains (ABC)

Have you visited the Park? Do you agree that it is worth P71 million?

Classes Resumes In Davao City

Motorists can expect lighter traffic these days compared to last year during the Holiday Season. This, despite the opening of classes this week. However, this is not to say that traffic along congested areas in the city will lighten up. More traffic is expected along Bankerohan considering that the Bankerohan Bridge is still under construction.

Davao's traffic is considerably better than Manila traffic but Dabawenyos still complain about the way the traffic lights seem to hold motorists on the queue. While there is actually no traffic, the time spent waiting for that light to turn green makes impatient people red with rage. Another cause of congestion along the city streets are public utility vehicles that get passengers wherever they want, even in the middle of the streets.

Traffic (and the problems that comes with it) is definitely part of Davao. Well, how's that as a bargain for progress?

Casino Right In The Comforts Of Your Home

I have never played a casino game before. Well, I've been inside the Casino before not to play but to watch a concert. However, I've noticed the different games being played and I would have tried the slot machine since it looked the easiest among the other casino games but I desisted, not wanting to look stupid in front of the other more experienced players.

Lucky for those who want to try playing the various casino games, now that online casino is all over the Internet. There are various online casino sites so you can take your pick as to which online casino site you want to try your luck with. But if you want to do it the easy way, Pro360 provides a convenient way to choose an online casino. The website presents a review of at least a hundred online casino sites. Imagine this: there are over 3000 online casinos and it would take you days if not months to try and test each site. With Pro360, you can just read their reviews of the Top 20 online casinos and take your pick.

What is good about this site is that it offers a bonus for those who will sign up. Every review page has a bonus banner. Just click that and you qualify for the bonus which, I should say, is bigger than most bonuses being provided by online casino sites when you go to their sites directly. All the casinos being reviewed by Pro360 offers the basic casino games like Roulette, Craps, Online Poker and my favorite, the Slots.

Playing casino online is easier than going to the physical casino. For one, I do not have to risk looking stupid in front of the other players. Plus, you don't have to travel and waste your precious time just to go out of your house. You can play casino games right in the comforts of your own home. Now, I can finally try the Slots.
