ShatteredPixie.com - My blogging blog

October 6, 2007 · Filed Under Blogging and Technology · 2 Comments 

I’ve started utilizing my other domain a week ago, and have started a sort of blogging blog. The blog in www.shatteredpixie.com is called, “Whimsicalidocious“. It is a blog where I share the interesting things I find on the internet, as well as wordpress themes I like and some tutorials for people new to blogging like me.

The tutorials are still being written and they are based from my personal experiences in setting up my blogs. So if you are new to blogging (especially on self-hosted blogs) and have some questions about ftp transfers, domain registrations, hosting control panels and other simple technical things, you might find some information on the tutorials once they are finished. I am not an expert in these things, but hopefully my experiences would help you find the answer to your questions.

So if you have time, please check out www.shatteredpixie.com and maybe you’ll discover something interesting there too. :)

PayPal Philippines can now receive funds!!!

September 29, 2007 · Filed Under Blogging and Technology · 7 Comments 

I was busy browsing the internet when I saw in someone’s twitter a note about PayPal and being able to receive funds in the Philippines so I did a search on Google and guess what?

Its true!!!

OMG. I hurriedly checked my PayPal account and I did see that the request money option is working now. :) I’m seriously excited and laughing and smiling like a moron right now. A few hours ago I was just thinking how I can fully utilize the internet to earn and was so discouraged by not having a PayPal receive account in our country.

Haha, so now I don’t have much to think of. :D

I’ll update this post with new articles I find but for now here are a few articles related to the story:

 

Finally we can receive paypal funds in the Philippines

Paypal is now in the Philippines

Paypal sends money to the Philippines

Paypal Philippines can now receive payments

Paypal Philippines now fully active

Paypal receive functionality now available in the Philippines

Paypal is now available in the Philippines with full send and receive feature

P.S.

So now is the good chance to grab the opportunity to earn through the paid survey site I just posted earlier here. And as I’ve said if you wanted to join you have the option below to join as my referral and help me with a few cents, or you can just join the site without saying I’m the one who referred you.

Non-referral link to paid survey site

You can start earning and saving those payments until you are able to get your own debit card or bank account to attach to a PayPal account. The available debit cards in the Philippines that I know so far is Unionbank’s Visa Electron. I’ll try to find other good money making opportunities that other bloggers can utilize and use so you can watch out for that on my next posts. :) This would be a great Christmas for me. I can feel it. :P Hahaha.

If anyone wants to try it, you can send me a $1 donation at mtcatbagan[at]gmail[dot]com which is my paypal email. :) Hahahaha.

Updated: DLSU gets wi-fi and a random paid survey website

September 28, 2007 · Filed Under Blogging and Technology, College Life and DLSU · 5 Comments 

So that’s why there was a sudden rush of students who have their laptops around in the campus. I was wondering a few days back and was talking with my sister about the new students and their laptops. We were thinking that maybe its the new thing for freshmen. Then while activating my My.Lasalle account earlier, I saw the announcement about the wi-fi implementation in the campus. Before it was only in the library and you had to have the card from the library and stick it in your notebook for the wi-fi to work. Now there are lots of hot spots in the campus making it easier for the students to access the university’s network.

 

I’ll update this entry later, i have to leave the library now and meet my sister. :)

Update: Sorry I just got back online got home really late yesterday. :)

I haven’t fully read as to which places don’t have the hots pots available but from what I remember most of the places in the campus have it. Now I want my own laptop even more. :( Well, I guess I’d just have to get used to drooling and ogling on all those *HOT* laptops I see all over the campus until I get enough to get myself one.

By the way, Jean told me about a paid survey site she was a member of and I decided to try it. I don’t earn huge sums from it, but the small amounts help when they pile up. Please be reminded that it is not a get rich quick scheme because it will really take you some time to earn decent money from it, but its not that hard if you have the time to answer some of the available surveys on a daily basis. Also a few spare bucks can help to buy you coffee and a donut or maybe even some hosting and domains, or even just add to your grocery budget. Its quite easy to finish, since each survey is only made up of a few questions. The hitch on the program is that you have to post it in your blog.

You don’t necessarily have to make a new single post for every survey you answer. You can just include it in your posts, maybe at the end part of it just for it not to take so much space on your entries. To be able to earn as well, you have to post in in a blog that is at least 90 days old. But I think it depends too since some surveys had no blog age requirement when I read around the site. Also you need a PayPal account to be able to get paid since they send it to your account after your account reaches at least $5. You don’t have to do it everyday and it really just depends on you if you want to do the surveys or not.

So there, part of the reason why I posted this is because some of my entries might have the surveys attached to it in the end part, so I hope you guys aren’t bothered by it. In case you are interested to join please click the link below. It is a referral link, and its up to you if you want to help me with a few cents by joining under my referral or not.

Note: Free wordpress users might not be able to use their blogs for this. I don’t know about wordpress.com’s ads or income generation policies using their free blog services so please check with them first if you are unsure as well. I think most of the other free blog sites work like: Blogger, LiveJournal, Friendster, MySpace, Yahoo 360and others. You can learn more by checking their site out on the link above.

The following survey is part of the program:
