When I heard that the author of Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling, has a new book, I was hesitant to it thinking that it is another out of this world adventure novel. But then I happen to came across an ebook of The Casual Vacancy and I tell myself that I can download it and read it sometime when I got the interest. And it turns out to be a page-turner when I started reading it. It's an easy read especially if you are British because of the political jargon contents. I first thought that a parish council is the same as what we have here in the Philippines, a part of a religious group who are stereotyped as good-natured people. But then I realized that it is equivalent to the barangay council of the Philippine political system. The typical politics story, indeed! It is an interesting novel with a tone of drama, tragedy, soul-searching, identity crisis, rivalry, jealousy and revenge which are usually triggered by the small town folks gossips. If you happen to like the Bob Ong book entitled MacArthur, you will also be moved with this one.
One thing I just don't appreciate in it is that there is a number of characters on which I sometimes fail follow or recall their stories and backgrounds as I go further in the book. It's a tasking job to make mental notes of them. But the side stories were all interrelated and necessary to make the whole plot. In the end, Rowling was able to patch them up together and made a good one out of it.

How to Verify Paypal Account Even Without a Credit Card?
This uses Philippine banks, but the process is still the same for other banks. This only applies for ATM cards with Visa, MasterCard, Maestro or American Express logo at any part of the card. Note that the card is not necessarily a credit card.
I signed up for Paypal since most of the accounts in ad networks requires one. It's either they mail the check or pay thru Paypal or Payza (I don't know much about Payza though). So, I made a Paypal Account by signing-up here. Don't worry, signing-up is free, just choose Personal Account. Then, for you to make online money transfers, you have to have a Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, or American Express card. Now, these cards are no longer exclusive as credit cards, it can now be a prepaid card or an ordinary ATM debit card. In this case, you can use Banco de Oro (BDO) Mastercard or RCBC MyWallet Visa Card. I haven't tried other banks but I heard that Union Bank is also applicable for Paypal.

Now Showing: Nuffnang and Lijit Ads
If you are a frequent viewer of this blog, you may have noticed that this blog had stopped showing Google Adsense ads. i-Share was banned from Adsense but not my whole account. So, I tried other advertising networks. I think, in count, I've tried almost 10 ad networks and those are Adhitz, Smowtion, Adserve, Clicksor, Chitika, Adjungle, Blueadvertise, Infinityads, Lijit, Infolinks, Nuffnang and Pulse Point. Of all these, I got myself into running simultaneously, so you may have noticed the ads showing everywhere. I was testing things, so my apology for those who are sick of them.
Today, I've got my first ever ad campaign from Nuffnang and my first ever legit ads from Lijit. I've got to the point of e-mailing Lijit because I've been a member for a week already and not one counted ad is showing and sometimes it shows blank pages. I'm just happy for Nuffnang because I read that many blogger had waited for months before a single ads had been shown while in my case I have the ads by only three weeks. Notice the Nestle Crunch Ad at the left sidebar? It's a contest where you will submit your Funtacular photo, you might be interested for some Ice cream gift certificates. That kind of ad (skyscraper) has the lowest CTR. But since I was just testing, I settled for it. Yesterday, I added a leader board and will be hoping for more ad campaign from that. Also, my Glitterati status is not affected since the other ads I am in are not from Asia-Pacific.
Currently, I got Lijit ads showing with Adserve ads as pass tag, Pulse Point ads with Smowtion ads as backup tag, Nuffnang and Clicksor. I now like ad networks with backup tags, you can set your floorprice which is good. Overall, that's four ads in just one blog.
I am starting a new blog about blogging (you can peek at Colored Chalks), but the page is still being developed especially the theme, and am just letting Google to crawl it for awhile. I will talk more about ads at Colored Chalks.
Just happy today!
