Why Hire Online Filipino Workers?

This is a sticky post. For newest entries, see the next post.

Would it be worth it to hire online freelance workers from the Philippines? Even Google and Yahoo does not encourage telecommuting anymore. Why should I if the gurus have tested it and seen it does not work?

My observation all these years is: Not all people with an internet connection can work at home. However, there is a very small percent of people who DO thrive, perform well and even enjoy working for you, regardless of physical location.

So my answer to your question is, yes, it would be worth it to hire online Filipino workers because .. READ MORE>

Plugging: Please visit Leon's Games Blog

Leon is a kid blogger who won't get off my case until I post something about his blog. I tell him no since he has lots of pirated stuff on his blog.

But since blood is thicker, can't help it. I'm bound.

He likes games and gadgets and his posts are mixed thoughts and stuff katchi-ed on the net. (I keep bugging him about pirated stuff, grammar and language though.)

I just noticed he doesn't use periods at the end of his sentences. I asked him why and he just said "because I don't want to."

So yeah, please visit his blog http://realeons-games.blogspot.com and hit like or subscribe.

Tita bloggers, can you please plug his blog too? Thanks much.

Ugh, the things we do for our young ones.

Be careful what you issue, cause it just might get posted...

When I was younger, say the word "conversion" and what pops into my head are halos, saints, fluffy clouds, angels and the like.  In the past, "conversion" to me denoted more a change of heart to do what god wills you. 

The past years, I have passionately studied "conversions" too, or how to convert, but this time over the internet. These days, in the age of everything in the net, conversion is convincing your web visitors to click on, do what you intend them to do in your site, such as buy, sign up, email to a friend, etc. etc.

Both conversions may be worlds away, you might think, but the objectives are the same :  1)  To get on your good side, 2) reel you in, and 3) When you are reeled, to have you follow what is designed to be followed. 

So the other day I click this link that points to a CBCP directive  to pro-repro health Catholics to NOT receive communion during mass

I was appalled of such intolerance documented on paper.  And this act, as is wont of any documentation these days, was scanned and published in Scribd, no less.


While it is this group's utmost right to not tolerate members that do not go along their creed, I'm just saying it is still bad PR to have the world see something so ghastly be posted for posterity on the net.

As long as the net exists, there is the documentation that during the 21st century, there is proof that bigotry existed (and from a denomination that preaches love and godliness. So that really sucks.)


A copy of the CBCP directive 
to pro-RH Catholics to 
NOT receive communion during mass.

If you do not want to re-examine your principles on tolerance and rights, you are entitled to that.  At least avoid having it posted on the net.  These things, posted on the net:   1) don't get into your potential or existing members' good side, 2) you are not reeling in but blocking access to current members and 3) Having your members follow your wishes when they are banned is strange, so that's out.  So yeah, do I even have to point out that things like these do not lead to conversions

When online traffic does not convert, they abandon their cart.  And when people abandon carts, they never go back.

You may say we're not a business.  What is this foolishness of abandoned carts, etc.?  Well then, a little imagination will say that any kind of organization will always have similarities to a business.  If you want to shun people for differences in opinion, that is your call.  If you want to be an island in this age of engaging with people, then that is your choice, even if no man is.

It is not my goal to post this to convert, I'm just thinking since yeah, this is my blog.  You should try it sometime.

Cheap gadgets review - CDR King DVD Writer



We have been using this CD-R King K-series external DVD writer for 3 weeks now. We have used it lots of times and it's okay. My sons have been installing multi-gig games that goes on for hours (days, yes) it can make any dvd writer go up in flames. So far it has been performing as expected.

This CD-R King DVD writer is connectable with a usb. It's also plug and play, so yeah, it's very convenient.

I also like the ornate design of the K-series, it's gurly.

I bought it for only P1,999 and I think it's pretty much worth it.

Envious (Actually, just misses blogging)

I'm envious of people who get to blog everyday because they like blogging. Without being conscious about it, they're passionate about their blog topic/ issue and passionate about blogging. That's what passion is all about, you are just it. You just actually do it without bragging about it.

I'd really want to blog everyday, but am too distracted these days since I'm not online at home as much I want to...

Let's try...
