Michael Jackson popped out!
Write a Comment Music
Learning about his death hinted conspiracy(!) to me. Why? Well, there were tour dates for next month, July, in UK with sold out tickets. “This Is It” was the now prophetic title of the tour. Dates after the jump which, I would assume, will become a series of tribute concerts as a way for the organizers to still make money out of him. We all know Michael Jackson have not performed in the past years due to health issues and the highly publicized scandal.
Maybe because I was too young to get hooked to his music during his prime but the name Michael Jackson always got my respect. Always one of the people, real people, in popular music that I think had faith in their craft and was never afraid to showcase it to anyone.
He may not be a great loss for the music industry in the present but his legacy will always be. Now the world will start missing you, Michael. (Continued…)
PhP1000 worth of free advertising on Google AdWords?
3 comments AdvertisingI received an email from Google Analytics Philippines today about trying out Google AdWords. A PhP1000 worth of coupon, that I could use before July 17, 2009, was generously offered. I wasn’t really alienated by this as other advertising networks also have such but the thing that got me to really dig into the email was the currency – Philippine peso!
I was amused that all the links and email addresses looked legit. No scary hashes! Included in the email is a short FAQ on why advertisers should use Google Adwords and instructions on how to redeem the AdWords coupon.
I’m not decided yet to do anything about it but if you happen to see on your Google Adsense a link to this blog then this offer is TRUE and used it.
I don’t know if this is offered to everybody using these services from Google but if you’ve tried this, please let me know and how far will a PhP1000 worth coupon take me?

I know Fête de la Musique is annually celebrated in Manila, Philippines but I never knew about it being held in Cebu as well. Thanks to Clarence‘ post.
Cebu Fête de la Musique ‘09 will be on June 21, 2009 at The Terraces, Ayala Center Cebu 5pm onwards.
Participating musicians are Joel Opurto, Prudence Salutillo, 560th Air Base Wing Band, Sinha Bahia de Capoeira, Sugbuwanon, Juress, Zarah Smith, Urbal, Island Joe, CDMC, Smooth Friction, Cuarenta, UNO, SATI, The Line Divides.
I’m looking forward to seeing Sheila and the Insects again and of course Smooth Friction as I haven’t seen them perform in a long time. Cuarenta’s blues though is still reverberating sexy-ly in my head.

It’s a pill to make you healthy for me.
One is to address my ever existing cough, the other is to clear my nasal passages and a double dosage of vitamin C.
It’s not bad or good. Or legal or not. Take your daily dose. Take the pill that makes you…
