The Golden Compass

Yesterday was my rest day so my friend and I decided to watch a movie. We've watched THE GOLDEN COMPASS starred by Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig. It's an action-adventure and science fiction-fantasy movie.

The Golden Compass is an adventure of a 12 year old orphan girl named Lyra (Daniel Blue Richards). The story happens in a world where people's souls are manifested outside of their bodies in creatures they called daemons. At first, I thought that it was just their pets but if their animal spirits gets hurt they get hurt too. These talking daemons acts as guardian angels and a soul brother that accompany them through out their lives.

Lyra is an orphan and is educated at the prestigious Jordan College. Her uncle Lord Asriel portrayed by Daniel Craig (barely seen in the movie) is a scientist/researcher who challenged the oppressive authority of the Magisterium with his pursuit about the dust. The dust is a mysterious golden substance that Lord Asriel would like to prove to the oppressive authority that my lead to open the doors to parallel universe. Evidence of dust was found in the Arctic Circle and Lord Asriel's plan of going there for further exploration excites Lyra's imagination to go with his uncle but Lord Asriel refuses her to go along the journey.

However, Lyra ends up on a different quest when Mrs. Coulter portrayed by Nicole Kidman, a powerful advocate for an evil organization bent on bringing dark times to the universe tried to corrupt Lyra for some undisclosed motives. She's interested for the compass that was secretly entrusted to Lyra. The device allows her to know the truth about things and that sent her to rescue her friend who was taken by the “gobblers” for an experiment that was led by Mrs. Coulter.

What I can say about the story? Well, in terms of visual effects employed to the creatures from a talking daemons and polar bear that interacts with human is exceptional. But with the story itself it wasn't definitely expressed the significance of the dust and some fascinating ideas that would satisfy the older viewers but for kids somehow the flying witches, talking daemons and the armored polar bear would be appealing to them.

I signed up for PayPerPost

Well, there's a lot of money making programs over the Internet and one of those is payperpost. I've read about it and was able to see a lot of difference with other paid post program. It has lots of opportunities to offer compared to others. All you need is to allocate some of your time to post something about their job offer.

Signing up is so easy and is absolutely free. However, you should wait for the approval of your blog before you could post and once approved you can now make your first blog posting through your list of opportunities and once your post was approved PPP will pay you for your effort. They have their referral program as well that would add up to your earnings if somebody sign up through your referral badge. If that person submitted his first post and get approved then you'll also received a payment. You can earn as well if somebody reviewed your post.

Honestly, It is my boyfriend who encourage me to try PayPerPost and after reading some informations about this program, it made me decide to sign up and be a part of PayPerPost family. It's not only a matter or earning money but gaining some knowledge from other bloggers and meeting some friends as well why I joined this program, payperpost.

Optical Illusion: Let your suitors count the dots

Can you count how may dot's are there?

blog and earn money online

Who doesn’t want to earn those dollars? I think everybody does want it. Every blogs that I’ve visited, most are into making money. You can find ads here and there and with sponsored post, referral tags and links. However, not all blog owners earned a lot from having a blog and that depends on the popularity of their site and of course it depends on the content of their blog .

My boyfriend is also earning out of blogging. He’s not into PPP or whatever sponsored post or review post. He earns through PPC or Pay Per Click ads from Google Adsense.

He keeps on telling me that earning through blogging is not for everybody. There are two types of blogger, first is you blog because that is your passion, you love blogging even if you are not earning. And when this type of blogger discovered that they could earn that is just an additional spice for them as a blogger that would make them more eager to blog. They learn the techniques,put some ads on their blog and still continue to blog even if they earn a little. While the second type of blogger is just blogging because they found out that they could earn out of blogging. Even if it's not their passion to blog, they blog and when they found out that it's not that easy to earn money they would stop blogging.

However, there are those types of people who wants to earn money online and have tried blogging even if it's not their passion but later discovered that blogging is fun most especially if you'll be able to enhance your writing skills, you have gained friends, and if you start earning. Your desire to write good articles is there so you could drive more readers to your blog and that means more traffic and more clicks.

There are a lot of ways to earn money online but the key to success is your passion of whatever you are doing and this isn't apply for blogging but in all endeavor that you'll going to part take.

Caught In the Act

I’m very happy because I just got my new Sony Cyber-Shot digital camera. I’m a frustrated photographer if I may say but I think photography is not my field of work. I’m just fond of taking pictures of different subjects.

Even if it’s not the type of camera that I’ve longed to have still the happiness of having one can’t be bought by anyone.

I started taking pictures of different subjects and one of my craziest act was to take pictures of my officemates…hehehehe… caught in the act scenes:

All work with out sleep will give us no sale (",)


Tired waiting for calls

They’re both laughing when they saw it…hehehehe. Here are some of the pictures.

It's raining outside

Guess Who
Looking through the eyes

My Station
Teddy Bear has a call
Gustong maging sikat...hehehehe

Sexiest Grandma

Did you ever asked yourself what would you be when you grow old? Most of us tend to be very busy of what life has to offer. How to conquer all of our fears. How to solve our problems. How to attain our goals. What to spend for the week. How to pay our debts and a lot more. We often forget that there's a lot of things that we shouldn't missed like how to laugh at our problems. How to enjoy life despite of difficulties and what would life be when we are old. Just a thought when I saw this picture. I'm thinking... will one of the Hotbabes be like this when they grow old? Hmmnnn... what about Jennifer Lopez?

My Dream Car

Do you have your own dream car? I bet, everybody does want to have a car. Once in a while it's good to day dream that one day you'll have your own car. Anyway, there's nothing wrong about it, right? Who knows, that dream will come true in due time.

The red one at the left is a 2009 Toyota Matrix Model. It is Bluetooth capable, 18" alloy wheels, DVD navigation system with XM NavTraffic, auxiliary audio jack and an available 2.4-liter engine with 158 hp at 6,000 rpm. These are just some of the features and specs of the new Toyota Matrix model. Actually, the concept was based on blending the functionality of an SUV.

I don't have any idea's about cars but just like cell phones, they have their own features and specifications. You may compare their features and specifications according to your needs and wants, of course with the help of a car specialist.

I just hope that one day I'll have my own car as beautiful as this photos. Will it come true? That's the question that I can't answer as of this time. If God will permit it, it will just happen in due time.



For the meantime, I still need to work hard and plan for it. Of course plan on learning how to drive. It's not fulfilling if you don't know how to drive and would just depend on getting a driver. Well, I don't know, let's just find out if I'll have my own car already if I'll be satisfied if I'm not the one who's going to drive it.

Stupid Filipina

Working in a call center is not that easy as everybody think. You would encounter different traits of people and the sad thing is that if you would encounter a stupid Filipina who happen to be one of my caller the other day.

Basically the calls that I'm receiving is a transferred call. We're dealing with inbound calls. Before a call being transferred to us, the first agent would asked for approval to her/his customer if she/he would be willing to listen to an offer where they could get savings on their current purchase or reservation. If they agreed then that's the time they're going to be transferred to us.

What makes that Filipina stupid? Well, she's too proud of herself, it seems that she's never been here in the Philippines and was not born Filipino. Shame on her!!! I am just pissed on how she reacted when she knows that I am a Filipina. I'm telling her about the offer when she asked me if I am a Filipina, I told her “yes”, when she learned about it, I can sense her disappointment. She asked me if I'm in Texas, I told her “no” and that her call was being routed here in the Philippines. Still, disappointment on her voice was very obvious. She asked me that how come her call was routed in the Philippines when she's calling in Texas. I told her that we do have several sites where her call is being transfered and one of those sites is located here in the Philippines. After knowing that, she just hung up the phone. That bitch!!

For several months that I've been receiving calls, I was able to talk to several Filipino's abroad but unlike this uneducated Filipina, they are warm and friendly. I can feel their longing to come back here in the Philippines and their excitement that they we're able to talk to a Filipina agent. Still, their values being a Filipino was never lost but this stupid uneducated Filipina she doesn't have the values. I may suggest that better for her to go back to Intermediate Level for her GMRC. “Kala mo kung sino, pinoy na pinoy pa din naman ang accent, ang yabang at kapal ng mukha!.” If ever na nagbabasa ka ng blog ko na ito, hope you will realize it was you!!!

Nakakatawa pa nito, for those foreigners na nakakausap ko and would know na I am a Filipina, mas matino pang kausap kesa sa matapobreng pinay na ito. For those Filipino abroad who still have the Filipino Values, Saludo ako sa inyo!!!

What's Inside my Wallet

First of all, I was tag by Garf and she would like to know what's on my wallet. Actually, I just have a small wallet so what you can find there is just coins for my fare. Eight hundred pesos bill, my SM advantage card, my ATM card, picture of my boyfriend (as women always put on their wallet, if it's not their bf it's their husband and son/daughters picture) and a calling card.

Now, since I'm done with my tag, I'm tagging Daniel-jr and Henry to do the same thing just for fun guys!!!
