Apol the Great

Finally, I've been to Cagsawa Ruins Park!


One of the reasons why I scheduled a Live and Work in Canada seminar in Legazpi City is for me to have the chance to visit Cagsawa Ruins Park. I'm glad I did!

Some information from about Cagsawa Church according to Philippines Historical Committee:



How to go to Cagsawa Ruins Park

It's my first time in Legaspi City and I just relied from the information I gathered from the net. Common suggestion is to take a public utility jeep to go there. But when we landed in Legazpi Domestic Airport, I've seen a Van for Hire and decided to hire one. After short negotiation, we agreed that for P1,000, we have half day service. I'm not sure if that is expensive but considering our limited time, that wasn't a bad deal. In fact, our plan was to visit Cagsawa Ruins Park only but were able to visit, Daraga Church and Lingnon Hills Park too!

Cagsawa Ruins Photographers




Once you entered the Cagsawa Ruins Park, be prepared to be greeted by young kids offering their service as a photographer boasting of their secret camera tricks. They are really good!

That's me, the Giant of Cagsawa. LOL

The accidental tourists: Rene, Me and Jean

If you are planning to visit Cagsawa Ruins Park, it is best to do it early morning, between 6am-8am. And while in Legaspi, don't forget to try their pinangat!

I realized that I'm not maximizing my time lately and as a result, I'm missing a lot of opportunities. I really need to stop and re-evaluate my priorities.

Focus Apol, focus.

Nine months ago, I wrote this:

Here's my new year's resolutions:

No more procrastination. I'm not proud of it, but my good friend, Jay, is not exaggerating when he told me one time that I'm such a great procrastinator. I often defer taking actions by offering lousy excuses. I think I'm just lazy like that. But that has to be changed.

Be more aggressive. Since I'm such a procrastinator, it follows that I'm not that aggressive as well. I've lost several opportunities because of that. It's time to be more aggressive.

Focus, focus, focus. The reason why I seldom win in our weekly billiards game is probably because I am not focused in the game. But it's not just in the billiards game that I lack focus. That's another area for me to improve on.

I said it's going to be a great year. Three more months and 2010 will be over. But what I really accomplished? Not that much. I mean I could have done more but because of misplaced priorities and lack of focus, I missed most of the great stuff.

I need to make good of the next three months. The best is yet to come.

You asked me why I went to Pluto to pick sweet berries for you. You made it sound that it is impossible and that I wouldn't be able to pull it off.

Of course, I perfectly understand your disbelief. In fact, it is possible that you don't even know that I have an iota of interest about it. That's because you are from Venus and I am from Mars.

But I did.

Why?

It's because I love you. You may not believe it, but it's true.

Happy birthday!

Hope you liked the sweet berries.

Because of my busy sched, I no longer have time to update some of my blogs. I then thought of sharing one of my blogs to a friend. He will help me udpate one of my blogs - High Demand Jobs - and in return he will have a premium adsense ad spot using his own Adsense Publisher ID.

But is sharing Adsense Ad Spot allowed? Is having a multiple Adsense Publisher ID on a the same page not violating Adsense Terms and Conditions?

The answer is yes, Adsense Ad Spot sharing is allowed and having a multiple publisher ID is not a violation.

Source: Sharing your ad space.

I'v e been really busy for the the past few weeks due to a lot of stuff. And I just realized that for the past two months, I managed to post only two entries on this blog. One new post each month. Whew! I've got to post something now. :-)

But the good thing about making money online through Adsense is that your blog may be idle for sometime and yet you may still make money. Those who are making money mainly through paid post can't say the same. Adsense rocks! :-)

Although I'm busy, I am still connected to the twitterworld through my Blackberry. Being connected 24/7 is really cool. So yes, I witnessed how Pinoy twitters dominate twitter land by influencing twitter trend topics - from Venuz Raj's major, major answer; to Quirino Grandstand hostage crisis and recently the Merry Christmas on 1st day of September. But that doesn't change the fact that our government sucks big time. Yeah, I know. It has nothing to do with twitter. But you know, I've got to post something.

Now about making money online again. I got my first payment from Infolinks two months ago. It's not now I know it's legitimate unlike those paid online surveys promising you heaven. :-)

I think that's it for now. Four links, I think, is enough. LOL
