MMMiii!

And so, because I subscribed to gL3nnX’s site and saw one post and so I decided to sign in and try. For the ad blocks or some shiatz, the site had to be reviewed. And so I submitted my beloved Miii and tried my luck.

Thanks for submitting your site to become a publisher with Project Wonderful! Our website review process forms an assessment of a website using a variety of criteria. These criteria include, but are not limited to, suitable content, ease of site navigation, and the website’s potential value to Project Wonderful and the experience of its members.Unfortunately your website, at http://miii.net, does not currently fulfill these requirements. The specific issue identified was:

- Content issues
We look for posts with original content and audience participation. When examining your site, we found that it appears to have one or more of the following issues: an overabundance of sponsored “review” posts, posts with content taken from third parties such as other web sites or Wikipedia, posts with little original material, and so on. While we respect your ability to build your site as you wish, we also reserve our right to exercise discretion when considering sites for Project Wonderful.

Let’s break that down.

• an overabundance of sponsored “review” posts,

I guess the 50 or so posts I did for PPP and other sponsored review posts is such a big impact that the other 1,100+ posts are invalidated.

• posts with content taken from third parties such as other web sites or Wikipedia,

I would assume this is the lyrics and the occasional Wiki snippets… maybe that makes up another 100 posts, just an estimate.

• posts with little original material,

I couldn’t help but LOL at this. So the remaining 1000 or so posts are all bull? and taken from here and there? I guess rants and complaints about everyday life aren’t original. I guess my notes from school aren’t original. The lyrics I romanized or translated myself that got copied by other websites aren’t really original content. Heck, even my original poetry is not original content. I guess I don’t really have very little original material. Like this post I’m writing now. Yep. This is unoriginal.

• and so on.

Maybe my blog qualifies in the “so on” part. I guess blogs full of “so on” just get denied.

Maa ii yo. Don’t mind what I said. I’m just a blogger scorned. I mean, I’m just a blogger with unoriginal content. Who cares, right?

It’s kind of like Twitter … but kind of fancier. It’s on a timeline. and it has pictures. It hasn’t integrated or partnered itself with any IMs as of yet, or at least not that I know of. That would kind of defeat the purpose though, I think… I mean… the timeline thingie which is the special feature of plurk, which kind of sets it apart. I know I have 2 other twitter-like thingies that I joined but they’re so … forgettable. Literally. I can’t even remember them.

OH WAIT!!! I remember one. One is Tumblr. Maybe there were three.

ANYWAYS~~ Join me and my plurkline~~~

I feel like I’m being picked on by certain people because of a certain post. Maybe my choice of words might be incorrect though. They’re just voicing their opinions. It’s just that it feels like their opinions are being forced on me.

Forgive my simplemindedness. But for me, SEO–Search Engine Optimization–optimizing keywords to gain traffic has the main purpose of making money. Why use SEO in the first place? Just to be popular?

I don’t make money out of SEO though. I’m not so into it either. In fact, if you look at my posts that are tagged with SEO, you’ll find only three posts. Three firetrucking posts. And yes, they’re all for THAT keyword. If you check out my posts tagged with Making Money Online, there isn’t much to see either. And they’re mostly about doing paid posts.

I’m not into studying and reading and researching. Heck, I don’t even read books now. SEO and online money-making takes a lot of research and studying–that much I know. And I’m not really interested.

So the big question… Am I making money online? Yes. It’s minimal. It’s extra income. But it’s not big. I don’t plan to make a career out of it. It’s just that for me now–extra income.

I’m not quite big into SEO or making money online. I have a full-time job that I like and I haven’t had a lot of time to blog. I don’t know why these Anti-”pinay scandal” posts seem to be linking back to me, but I’m not the only one in it, and I’m not even the one who thought of it.

My blog–my opinion. I believe you also think that way. Your blog–your opinion. Right? And no one can change that–unless you do paid blogging too and you have to write positively about something–which I avoid doing that’s why I’m only in one program right now.

PLEASE redirect your rants to the one who thought of it. kthxbai.

P.S. For the record, again, for the last time. I did not get banned from Googel adsense because of keyword hijacking. Again, kthxbai.

P.P.S. Thank you for visiting my site and linking me.

Yes, that’s what I’ve been busy with lately. After AznV.tv, Veoh.com would probably be my second favorite video streaming site. I like Veoh better for anime because I won’t have to use my precious premium account for something that I can watch somewhere else. Quality-wise, for anime, they’re just about the same. My main problem with aznv is just that I don’t think they ever had mac users in mind to begin with. I have to use VLC which is something I don’t really like.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a really huge screen with theater seating

Did you know that soon, analog TVs and Radios are going to be replaced by iTVs and iRadios and so on? It’s not really too far in the future for the US or other really developed countries like Japan and Korea, but for the Philippines, that would take maybe 50 more years.

I’m so behind on my blog posts. Anyways…… On with it

Last Saturday after getting a new SIM card, I went to UP because I needed to get the tickets for the guests for the university graduation the next day, and since I’m there, I dropped by the iBlog4 event since I also registered anyway. I also wanted to meet with Sarah and raredog (since he was the one who told me to register anyway). And so I went.

I arrived around lunch time and Sarah said there’s free food. I had to register first and surprise surprise! My name isn’t on the list. At first I thought I registered under another name although I know I always register as Mi, but we checked under my other names, and there’s nothing. No sign of Mi.

Because of this, I won’t be linking to the iBlog4 event. I know it’s not really a big deal, but meh.

ANYWAYS, I met with Sarah and sat with her to one part of the program, about Vlogging and Podcasting (Maybe I should try podcasting again) and after the speakers were done, I also left. I wasn’t able to meet with Geri because I didn’t have signal inside the batcave Malcolm theater where the event was being held.

I went to Educ which was just in front of the College of Law, except that the Sunken Garden was between them. I wanted to traverse the displacement path to Educ but it rained hard the day before and some parts of the ground might be wet, so I had to go around. I waited a bit, got my souvenir programme and tickets, and realized that I had 5 P500 bills and I was out of change. So I went to one of the kiosks and bought 2 bottles of C2 Iced Tea, one apple and one lemon, one for me and one for Sarah (I asked her even if I had already bought it, I’m weird like that) and went back to Law. I also told Geri that I was coming back and that we could meet.

I almost gave up meeting Geri because of I got too engrossed chatting with Sarah but we eventually met up anyways. Right before I left. I told him I was going home. lol. He came out and we talked a bit and hailed a taxi for me coz I was really dead on my feet and needed to sleep… The funny thing was the taxi we got was on its way to iBlog4 as well and they were kind of lost. I wonder when our local taxis gps fleet tracking and dispatch cabs in places where there are none. That would be fun.

So anyway… That ends my iBlog4 part of the day. \o/

I ignored the bandwidth limit notices because I thought that I’d be able to manage, but somehow, it is exponentially increasing. I’m down to less than 800mb of bandwidth for the last 4 days days of the month. I don’t know if Miiinet will be able to stay online until the end of the month.

Maybe I should ask my webhost to increase my bandwidth limit… Or I could have my site hosted somewhere else. But I do recall my webhost sponsor mentioning something like just asking them if I need to increase bandwidth or disk space.

If Miiinet dies, I’ll be doing just that. I don’t think I can last every month wondering if I’ll be able to stay afloat.

Or… Anyone out there willing to sponsor Miiinet with unlimited bandwidth and space? XD jk

I like Page.PH, my sponsor. I haven’t had a downtime unlike my first webhost. And that wasn’t due to SEO getting used up. It was just a plain ol’ downtime on their side.

*crossing my fingers*

Oh, and I moved the banners and other images again as well. Hopefully, that will slow down the process of Miiinet running out of battery.

Lately, I’ve been hanging out in eBay. I’m getting frustrated not being able to get my money from PayPal because Xoom is being utterly stupid. Not that I’ve got a lot in my PayPal, but still… it would be nice to be actually touching them or seeing them take interest in my bank account, right?

So… I signed up for eBay! And I bought three things.

Silicone Skin Case for my Zen V Plus with lanyard and armband.

You’re probably thinking I’m crazy. The item is $1.00 but shipping is $9.49, a total of $10.49. If you convert that to peso, that’s still less than how much the silicone skin case will cost here. Including the arm band. So I’m still fine with that. It’ll just take about a month to get here plus red tape, so that’s two months… maybe.

Brand New Sennheiser CX300 Ear Canal Headphone Silver Black.

Actually, I wanted the black one, but stupid me didn’t notice that I bid on the Silver one. I emailed the person and asked him if he could send me the black one instead. I don’t know if it’s real or not, but it’s cheaper than the Phillips in-ear earphones that I’ve been eyeing for some time now. a LOT cheaper, and a LOT cheaper than it’s price in malls. I can’t spend my real money, so why not spend money that I can’t obtain? right?

And my last purchase…

Nodame Cantabile: Megumi’s Piano Pattern Tote Bag + Coin Purse

I don’t remember seeing Nodame with this coin purse, but what the heck. I’ve been wanting to buy a new bag and I don’t see anything that I like that is within my budget (my budget for a new bag is P150). Nothing I see, even in Ukay-Ukays, meet that budget and design that I want. So… I thought of getting the Nodame bag. And it’s … not very cheap, but good enough. It’s about 5 times my budget, but considering I didn’t really spend anything from my salary for these… s’all good.

Well… those are my first eBay purchases. I hope I don’t get addicted and spend too much. The things I usually see have to come from overseas, and knowing how this country’s postage system works, these things will probably arrive past my birthday. *crossing fingers*

Yes! I took the chance! I took a gamble! I laid out my cards on some fancy poker tables and hoped that some little things I removed from the site would slow down the sudden upsurge of traffic. At 10:11pm last night, I got the alert

The domain miii.net (miiinet) has reached 99% of its bandwidth limit (9903.42/10000.00 Megs).

I still can’t find a way to find what my bandwidth usage was right before midnight, but with the trend I was having, I guess it was really pretty close to 10Gb. so… OMG I survived!

I brought back the banner pictures, but I’m afraid I won’t put back the Crystal-Skies forum because no one really goes on it and it has become the home of some spammers.

With my 10Gb monthly bandwidth, I can normally manage, even hosting some songs every once in a while, but the upsurge from the forum was really not something I was able to handle, nor something I expected.

So, … I’m back to normal. I was also holding off posting something new because I was afraid that I might just kill it instead. ^__^ Happi~~~ \o/

Because of a sudden upsurge of bandwidth usage from a forum that I have hosted here that no one really uses, I’m panicking right now. I’m getting a message that I’m nearing my bandwidth limit.

I only have an allotted 10Gb of bandwidth every month and for the past months ever since I started the pinay scandal post, I’ve always been able to manage.

But recently, I reviewed my bandwidth trends and saw that I had a spike with my Crystal Skies forum (that no one uses, as I’ve mentioned at the start). It was constantly using below 200Mb for the past months, and for this month, it had a whopping 1.3 Gb. I’m guessing this is because of all the spam in it. But nonetheless, I only have about 800Mb of bandwidth left for this site.

So… I’m putting down most of the images files for now, my beloved banners and avatars. These are part of my blog, of my site. You can probably compare them to light fixtures in houses, wherein some of them don’t really serve any real purpose aside from being a decoration. These are kind of my signature images on the site. I’m also going to put the the Pinay Scandal post in Private for now and hope that in doing so, it will also minimize the traffic.

I don’t want to put them down, but I don’t want miii.net to go down either. So… just as a final effort with the hopes of saving my site for at least 4 more days, I’m putting these images down, moved the forum and so on. Hopefully, this will slow down the traffic upsurge.

I’m glad my post is in the first page/result of google search when they search for Filipino porn. I mean, the traffic really helps boost my site (except in Google Page Rank), and this will help soon when I consider monetizing my website again with adlinks aside from the one I’m doing now. But right now, I just want to save my site.

So… I hope in bringing down my main images and my most popular post, it will help my site stay alive until the end of the month.

These past few days, I haven’t really bothered to go on IRC. One reason is I can’t really be bothered. I don’t have enough time. But lately, I manage to go home early and actually, I do have time now if I wanted. However, lately, I’ve been watching J-Drama again. I’ve been using up my AznV.TV credits. Considering I’ve almost had the account for 2 years now since KALIF gave me a premium one pre-loaded with 30 hours I think. And then I asked for more hours. And until now, I still haven’t used them up. And now that I’ve unplugged my cousins from the router, I can actually watch on AznV.TV now without a lot of problems. Because before, when they were connected, it was impossible to watch there… so now …

Well, now, I’m thinking of topping up this time using my own money, instead of freeloading.

Has anyone been in need of therapy for anime/drama/movie/music addiction? I wonder if there are drug treatment centers for these kinds of addictions. I call myself a music addict or a music whore, depending on the situation. I mean, there ARE some people who declare themselves addicted to this or addicted to that, simple things, not necessarily drugs, but has anyone really been diagnosed as addicted to [insert something here that isn’t drugs internet or games]. I remember when I doing a paper on Internet Addiction there was a Chinese therapist for internet and gaming addiction. It was really cool and pitiful at the same time. And this was around 2002. What about now? There are more games and more things you can possibly do online these days.

Well, for now, let me be addicted to J-Drama and watch what I’ve missed out for the past years. Those J-Dramas that I’ve always wanted to watch.

~Currently watching Orange Days~
~Just finished Motokare and Oishii Propose~

BTW, AznV.TV is an asian media streaming site. It has premium accounts wherein you could watch almost anything, and free limited accounts which also has lower quality streams.
