Last week I received an e-mail from StumbleUpon informing me that my account is undergoing review. Well, that’s their subtle way of saying that my account is currently suspended which means I won’t be able to login to my account. Oh well, there’s nothing I can do about it except move on. There is no sense in appealing to them since they don’t even care about their sponsors. You know, those people who actually donated money to keep them running.
StumbleUpon
Eventhough I can’t login to my account, I can still browse and view it because it’s still there. They haven’t deleted or removed it yet. I noticed that my StumbleUpon avatar or photo had disappeared. This made me assumed that when an account in StumbleUpon gets suspended, the photo of the suspended member also disappears. So, I went to check my subscribers list to see if there are any subscribers who are missing their profile photos and there are a few them. (more…)

Yesterday, we had a medical alert. My mother-in-law suddenly called to ask my wife to accompany her to the hospital. It seems that she is experiencing some abdominal pains and, I guess, at her age, her threshold for pain is not that strong anymore.
Alert!!!
My wife was doing our laundry at that time so she had to drop what she was doing. She immediately went to her parents home which was just a few blocks from ours and took her mother to the hospital. I didn’t go with them since I was left in-charge of the kids and, besides, I was working. Whatever the medical alert was, I’m sure my wife can handle it. (more…)

These past few days, some Entrecard members have changed or updated their Entrecard cards to include a picture of a lady they call Cecilia also known as The Realtor in Entrecard. To be honest, I don’t know her and I only see her, at least her avatar, in Entrecard. Okay, so why are these people doing that to their Entrecard cards? I think it’s some sort of a tribute because the member known as The Realtor has quit Entrecard and her Entrecard friends are including her photo into their own cards to remember her, at least that’s what I think. LOL!
Well, I think it’s fun and it’s like an exercise in creativity so I joined in. I also changed my Entrecard card but I just not cut The Realtor’s avatar and pasted it on my own Entrecard card. What I did is I traced her the face on her card and made a cartoonlike version of it. Well, at least one fellow Entrecard member found it “very cool” so my effort didn’t go unnoticed. Thanks Bad Evan! LOL! (more…)

It’s that time of year again where I have to renew the card I am using for my online transactions. Actually, I don’t have to apply to renew it since it renews automatically but what I don’t like about the process is that I have to get it personally from the issuing bank. I don’t understand that.
Please just mail my renewed card to me!
When I applied for it three years ago, they sent the card to me by postal mail when my application was approved but to get the renewed card, I have to go back to the bank where I got it every year? Why can’t they just send it to me by postal mail too? That is the part that I don’t understand. (more…)

For months now, I’ve been uploading my photos, screenshots, etc. at Shareapic because of the fact that I get paid to upload them. Well, not exactly get paid upon uploading but more of get paid depending on the amount of pageviews my photos receive. Their current rate is $0.22 per 1000 pageviews which is not very big but still it’s cash, so why not.
Triond
Currently, the images I uploaded at Shareapic have recieve a total of 25591 views which earned me $5.62. Now, I only need less than $15 more to request payout. How long that will take? I don’t know, depends on how active I am in uploading images I guess. LOL! (more…)

I just finished writing a post at Kabalyero.com when, after viewing the post, I noticed an Entrecard looking widget banner on one of my Project Wonderful Ad Box. The Entrecard looking widget banner or, let’s just call it, Fake Entrecard Widget belongs to the already infamous Z-solutions Inc. I said infamous because this fake entrecard widget thing involving Z-solutions Inc. has also been discussed in Entrecard’s forums and members have been complaining about it. Up to now, Entrecard members are being tricked into clicking on Z-solutions Inc.’s banner because it looks exactly like a real Entrecard Widget and by clicking on it they think they are dropping on it but they are taken to Z-solutions Inc.’s website instead.
