Ambot ah!

There are a lot of informative websites about making money online. One such site that I have come across on and am subscribed to is MoneyBlogger, which has a lot of insightful articles that helps me in learning more about monetizing my blogs.

Currently, MoneyBlogger is holding a contest and the winner gets to receive an iPod Nano. Isn’t that cool? Definitely, I would want to have that thing in my pocket and all I have to do is have a blog

This January 2008, I visited Kalibo’s ati-atihan for the second time. I enjoyed myself a lot during my first visit last year and made it a point to visit it again this year. As always, ati-atihan was fun and still left relatively apathetic to commercialism. I wish I can write more about my experience but I have too little time right now so I’ll just post the pictures I took during my overnight stay in Kalibo.

After the new year, me and my friends thought of visiting Guisi, which is an upcoming tourist destination in Guimaras. I have been there before but there’s just something about the place that haunts me to go back over and over. It’s natural beauty is just superb and to top it off is a magnificent display of Spanish-colonial heritage in the form of an 18th century lighthouse. No wonder the Provincial Gov’t of Guimaras (with the help of the Canadian Urban Institute) is putting high priority in promoting Guisi.

From Iloilo City we rode a 15-min pumpboat ride (P11) to Jordan, Guimaras via the Ortiz Port in Iloilo City. In Jordan Wharf is a small shed where a tourist assistance outpost is located. They could arrange transportation to any destination in Guimaras and the best part is that they already have fixed rates so you won’t ever experience being overcharged by opportunist drivers. We opted to commute to Guisi by riding a Nueva Valencia Jeep (P40), which took us straight to Guisi in a matter of one hour. From the road, it’s a 3 minute walk downhill to the beach resort.

There, you’ll be able to see the cottages, white-sand beach, the clear waters, the blue sky, and the rock formations on the sides, a very refreshing sight.

Here are some of the pictures I took during the trip:

This January 2008, Canon has just released a new model for its entry level SLR. Dubbed as the Canon EOS 450D or Canon rebel XSi, it is the successor of the ever popular EOS 400D. I’ve been waiting for a few months that Canon will release a new entry SLR that has Digic III processing and now that it has finally arrived, I’m uber excited in being able to own one.
