The more you click the more you earn

The original content of this blog was in "Tagalog" but for a very important reason I have to edit it and have everything written in english instead.

In the case of the title of my post, I'd rather keep it that way and mention a bit about it.

Well, here is the sitch i had an adsense account several weeks ago, it was disabled for some significant reason. And that explains the absence of any ads by google in my page. In connection to the title itself however, my concern was actually about invalid clicks, i don't want that to happen here at my site given the chance of having adsense again. True, the more you click the more you'll earn.. but not through a fabricated clicks. Let things happen by itself.

I CAN'T FIND MY CAT

Beran my cat is missing, it's the first time he's gone missing. We can't trace where he went. Same is true with my adsence ads.. it's missing and i cant find out what happened.

ASSERTIVE COMMUNICATION

Are you the type of person who always say "yes" to your co-employees or to your superiors? If that is your problem, my friend, you need to learn how to communicate assertively. Here is a simple recipe for assertive communication.

1. Only raise one issue at a time. Only raise one issue at a time so that your communication will be more focused.
2. Resist the temptation to wound or score points. We have to understand that we assert ourselves. We communicate not to score points, not to wound or injure other people, we are communicating assertively because we believe that what we think our opinion is also of equal value with that of other people.
3. Use “I” instead of “you.”
   
4. Take out all inflammatory or emotive languages including always and never. Never say never. Take out the inflammatory or emotive f language. Be as objective as possible and never use weeping generalizations.
5. Focus on the issue or the behavior and not the person.
6. Explain the tangible or intangible effects the behavior has on others including you.
   
7. Tell what you would like to see happen. It is not enough that you explain the situation. If you want to be assertive, if you want to be heard, tell what you would like to see happen.
8. Listen and give others fundamental respect. If you want others to listen to you when you are talking, if you want others to value what you are saying, you should do likewise.
   

Encourage assertive communication and you will discover a lot of great ideas from your people.
Remember no one has the monopoly of all the knowledge and all the good ideas in the world, so start listening to your people and when you start listening, people will become braver and more courageous to assert themselves and communicate what they are thinking of.
(this post is an excerpt in one article written by Alan Billingham, workshop facilitator of Media Associates)

Blogging

Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diary. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art, photographs, sketches, videos, music, audio, which are part of a wider network of social media. Micro-blogging is another type of blogging, one which consists of blogs with very short posts. As of December 2007, blog search
engine technorati was tracking more than 112 million blogs. With the advent of video blogging, the word blog has taken on an even looser meaning — that of any bit of media wherein the subject expresses his opinion or simply talks about something.

PORTRAIT OF A KILLER

I'M A BIG FAN OF Patricia Cornwell, author of Portrait of a Killer : Jack the Ripper Case Closed, Unnatural Exposure, Cause of Death and the Last Precint to mention a few. Cornwell is a genius in creating a fine and convincing true-crime thriller, I even made a Jack-The-Ripper research myself and delve into the boigraphy of artist Walter Richard Sickert (while reading the book), she (Cornwell) made me so curious about Sickert for they were real murders by mutilation, it was a real case and Sickert was one real artist.

Walter Sickert (born May 31, 1860) works of art himself, blue eyes, and blond hair, symmetrical face, nice slender body, so the picture said.... Man of many talents, painter, an etcher, actor, writer, linguist and art criticwere enough to caught my attention. Not to mention, one of England's most important artists. These gave me all the reason to read the novel over and over again. What mafe him did all those kilings?

Walter Sickert as convinced by the novel ( no offense to Sickert's fans...and please don't judge me for being shallow believing in a novel)... again sickert as convinced by the novel was Jack the Ripper, Jack the Ripper was walter Sickert, yeah i made my point already. Jack the Ripper - The madman in the 18th Century killing fiasco in London was a true blooded artist. Yes, an artist by profession and by heart. Among Sickert's works were the "Ennui" (with 5 versions), Nuit d’été (“Summer Night”), Patrol, Jack the Ripper's Bedroom. He was Patronized by many including the Queen Elizabeth.

His artworks are so full of detailed emotions and are well made, brilliant they say, and so his killings too. The finest detective in his time gave up in solving his doings (alleged) yes, they never discovered the culprit for those devilish killings. And no one in that time ever suspected the brilliant Sickert. He had many personas, and had an amazing ability to write in many hands, that was why police didn't discovered that it was the known artist who wrote those "ripper" letters (based on the researh of Ms. Cornwell).

What was in his mind? Can an artist really create such debacle? Why not? Anyway artists in general are known for their meandering temperaments.

Did he ever knew love? Of course? That's why he married four women in his life time, he loved women, like most male artists do. Though it was also women that Jack the Ripper loved to murder and mutilate, probably because he was afraid that these women might have mocked his penile deformity. Oh! Just read the book!

It's not too late to read it! It's worth reading.

The novel made me realize how someone can cover his/ her imperfection/s even in a worst possible way. Sickert was almost perfect. Almost. Too bad he's a psychopath. I would have been one of his fans.

HOW GREAT LEADERS RECOGNIZE A PROBLEM

Can you recognize a problem before it becomes an emergency? According to John Maxwell in his book Developing the Leader Within You, great leaders usually recognize a problem in the following sequence:

1. They sense it before they see it - that is what you call intuition. Hindi pa man nangyayari medyo kinukutuban na, mayroong gut feel and they pay attention to their gut feel.
2. They begin looking for it and they ask questions - yan ang curiosity.
3. They do not simply rely on intuition or curiosity, they gather data - iyan ang tinatawag na processing. They start to process the information that they have gathered prompted by their curiosity and intuition.
4. They share their feelings and findings to a few trusted colleagues - that is what you call communicating.
5. They define the problem and they do not just verbalize it, they write it.
6. They check their resources and that is evaluating.
7. They make a decision - that is leading.
   

Under the leadership of great men and women, problems do not reach their gigantic proportions. Why? Because at the problems are detected at an early stage and given immediate actions. John Maxwell said, “Great leaders are seldom blindsided. They realize that the punch that knocks them out is seldom the hard one. It is the one they did not see coming.” Therefore, it is always important to look for signs and indicators that will give you insight into the problem ahead.

5 TRAITS OF SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE

To start off a brand new work week, let me share with you the five secrets of a successful person.

1. Consciousness of an honest purpose in life.
2. Adjust estimate of one’s self and everyone else. In other words, he knows himself, he sees himself as God sees him.
3. Frequent self-examinations. A successful person takes time to evaluate himself.
   
4. Steady obedience to what one knows to be right.
5. Indifference to what others may think or say. The only opinion that truly matters to this person is God’s opinion of him.
   

The tips that I shared with you today are from the book “Lists To Live By: The Third Collection.”

Be a blessing in the workplace today.

10 RULES FOR DELEGATION

AWe know that delegation is important if we we want to train leaders for the company. We also know that delegation helps us manage our time wisely. Question is, do you delegate? Here are the tips on how to delegate successfully. “Smart Moves” 10 rules for delegation:

1. Make sure the employee has the skill, talent and ability to perform the job. Do not delegate a job destined to result in failure or frustration.
   
2. Check with your boss. Unless you have been given complete discretion in this matter, be certain the boss agrees to your giving up a particular responsibility.
3. Delegate not only the menial unimportant jobs but also the significant ones. Kasi iisipan ng mga tao, if you delegate important responsibilities you are communicating to the person, that you trust the person, you value his or her judgment and they have the ability to do what you ask them to do. Employees will see this as a vote of confidence.
4. Make sure subordinates clearly understand the task. Have your subordinate describe what they think you want them to accomplish.
5. Allow the subordinate latitude in how the job should be performed. Your way is not the only way. Tel this to yourself - “My way is not the only way.” However, if there are rules or constraints which must be followed make sure you communicate them.
6. Provide all the resources necessary to perform the job. If you are going to delegate also provide the necessary help.
   
7. Remain accessible. Always provide a safety net for the subordinate. Be available but do not engage in over-the-shoulder surveillance o micromanage.
   
8. If the job is performed well, praise the subordinate.
9. If the job is not performed well, tell your subordinate how to improve.
10. Delegate often because everyone wins in that situation. You are able to multiply yourself, you are able to manage your time well, and you are able to train future leaders for your company.
    

Be a blessing in the workplace today.

e Trex GPS

Have you ever experience being lost while going to another place? Or do not know where to go while on a mountain climbing with your friends or family or while on operation? The answer is very simple try the Garmin e trex GPS (global positioning System) gadget. It is very easy to use and very accurate. And you could use it anywhere in the world. Even in the middle of jungle or in the middle of the sea.

This gadget is being use also by the United States Armed Forces and other armed forces. It is very lightweight and easy to handle.

My hubby personally had used one of its products and never experience difficulty in using it. Aside from knowing where you are exactly in the world you can save your tracks and waypoints to help you navigate next time faster and with ease. Other unit has map of selected cities in the world, barometric altimeter, electronic and other has colored screen. And when we talk about power sources it uses 2 AA batteries and could last for so many hours without changing.

COOL RIDE

Price of gasoline is soaring high! We have to think what would the best alternative ride to be use without consuming so much gasoline.

While I was on my way to the taxi terminal suddenly a man riding a motorcycle stop besides and remove his helmet and say "Hey want some ride". And it was my friend EJ. I looked at his bike and it was really cool bike and still a brand new. I said sure and ask him if I could drive it. He let me handle the driving. So while I was driving it He discussed to me his new bike. It is a suzuki raider 150 cc. It is the fastest bike in the underbone category. It is designed like sports bike because the engine is 4-valve 150cc single-cylinder and oil-cooled. It reminds me ofn the other suzuki sports bike the FXR 150. According to my friend EJ it was similar to that bike but it was on the underbone part.

The bike fuel consumption is 35km/liter. And it has a maximum horsepower 16.0hp at 9,500 RPM. Really nice machine. Aside from that, both of the wheels is fitted with disk brakes.

Well it is very easy to drive and most of all you save a lot of gasoline.

Energy to GO

Energizer's Ultimate Lithium AA batteries are the force behind the Energizer's Energi To GO - Instant Cellphone Charger. These batteries are responsible for the automatic portable power that instanly brings your cell phone back to life. You can place a cal l within 30 seconds of activating Energizer's Energi To GO on many cellphones with a completely discharged battery.

The technology is highly advanced, but the device works quickly and simply.

This is probably the best solution to instantly charge cellphones while on the go. Because of its small size, it's compact enough for carrying arround with you all the time.

Say it with ROSES

Roses symbolically are the meaning of love. But according to some expert the way how you give the roses and what color it is has another meaning want to learn some of it. Well as we all know that red rose’s full bloom means “I love You". But if you also give full bloom single rose it would also mean I love you. And if someone you know is so much down and feels that there will be no tomorrow give them rose leaves it signify hope. Giving a girl thorn less rose would mean you are in love with her at first sight (romantic hmmm). If you want to thank someone you may give pink rose and if you want to tell your girl that you adore her so much and you may give her white roses. Also white roses mean purity. But a combination of white and red would mean unity. And if you want to tell your girls that you will never forget her give her a tea rose. Yellow roses traditionally symbolize friendship other it is the time when to love is fading. But an orange would tell you that it is for new beginning.

I hope this could help you and never try to give the wrong color of rose to the right person.

CAREER MANAGEMENT TIPS

1. Keep a weekly journal of your accomplishments so you'll have them when it's time to update your resume.

2. Listen 80%, talk 20%. Sometimes the best thing to say in a business discussion is absolutely nothing.
3. It's often a mistake to let work become 100% of your life. extreme work enthusiasts- workaholics - overproduce and overachieve, but then burn out, and some never recover. "Moderation in all things," is not a bad idea.

4. Career tests are like blood tests; they give you an accurate, 360- degree profile of you as a career person.

5. Stay focused on your gifts- your genius- not your mediocrities. Do what you are best at.

6. "Do first things first, and second things not at all." Business results are important, but people around you are important, too, especially today, in increasingly team-oriented environment. spend 50% of your timegetting results, and 50% of your time developing career-sustaining relationships, both inside and outside your organization.

7. Never be unemployed, even for a day. if you lose your job, volunteer immediately to put your skills back to work, for a friend, for a consultant, in a non-profit org - anywhere.

8. We are all, always being interviewed. Every business encounter i a 'job interview" you just don't know it. Strangers are judging, evaluating, and classifying you every moment; so act accordingly.

9. Think of your career as a public relations campaign and try to generate friendships as much as business results and cash. Pro-Tips.

Father of Them ALL

The nintendo family computer was released July 15 1983. And when this game console was released for the public. It became the best selling video game console around the world. Who could ever forget the mario brothers, cobra, pinball, and a lot more. I myself enjoy playing this game console. I could not even sleep at night if I could not play with it. Sometimes my mother would get angry with me because I cannot get my hands off with its controller. But before it went as the best seller the first product that were released had a bad chip that causes its system to crash. So It was recalled by the company and replaced with new mother board and by the end or 1984 it became the best selling game console in japan. The original family com was made with plastic and colored white and dark red. It has a cartridge slot which the game gartridge is placed. The dimension was 10 in width by 8 in length by 3.5 in height. It was an 8 bit video game console. And in the 90's some company developed the 16 bit game console which marked the start of its downfall. Up to now no one is playing this type of game console because of the development of the different game console that provides 3d graphics and other feautures that bring video games into another height. Just like old soldier this console just fade away and we give our salute.
