If you're wondering why there is a food post in a money blog, let me just say this: John Chow is my idol and he does food posts in his uber-successful money blog! And what my idol do, I follow.. LOL! =) If you don't know who John Chow is, you better visit his site. You'll learn loads from him about making money online. Heck, he earns $30000+ a month from his blog alone! O_o

Anyhoo, back to the Davao Food Trip.. This series of yummy trips to restaurants in Davao City was organized by Blogie Robillo. The 8th leg, of which I was lucky enough to join, was in AVENIDA -- a restaurant in the ground floor Lispher Inn located in Juna Subdivision, Matina, Davao City. We were 10 bloggers in all (Blogie, Ria, Kuya Andrew, Winston, Tiara, Pearl, Andie, Mikko, my bf and me) and we were served 3 dishes with iced tea (P30).

The first dish was Beef Misono -- beef cubes on top of steaming rice. It was very tender and tasty. I am not fond of meat though so I immediately moved on to the next dish. Beef Misono in Avenida costs P110 (good for 1-2 persons) but our serving was just P35. Cheap! =)


The next dish was Bangus Belly (P90) and this, I ate with enthusiasm! LOL! In our home, we always fight on who will get the belly. And being the eldest, I always give way. Thus, whenever I get a chance to eat bangus belly, I grab it with mouth wide open! Hahaha! =) Avenida's Bangus Belly dish has an Italian taste to it (or is this how Sarsiado tastes like??). It was garnished with kangkong leaves, cucumber, tomatoes and onions.


The last dish was Sizzling Squid (P120) with yellow sauce (or is it gravy?). I love the fact that the squid was diced and very tender. It was served with mixed vegetables. The sauce blended well with the squid flavor so I was one happy diner! =)

Pardon the blurry photos. Blogger does that to photos uploaded in their site. Just check out my food photos HERE =) My final verdict on Avenida? If you want delicious comfort food at affordable rates, it's definitely one of the places to go to! Labsie and I surely come back to scour their menu for other hidden foodie gems. Till then!

How? By being their reseller! Previously, you can earn money by doing surveys and posting it in your blog, and second by referring others (you get a cut from their earnings). Now, if you refer a company or anybody who'll do a survey with dNeero, you get a cut too! How much? Read the survey below =)

And who the hell is he?? Stewart Reynolds is a Dot CA mogul! Take note, that's a Dot "CA" and not a Dot "Com" -- I like this guy already! LOL! He describes himself as a
..gentleman and a scholar, who appreciates fine wine, sunshine, watching people take long walks on the beach and lives for a finely poured pint of beer.
And because of his love for beer, he is giving away $20 to buy yourself and a friend some beer in the pub of your choice. SWEET! =) Stewart runs a website where he teaches you how to make some moolah in the internet. Interested? Then go find out How To Make Money Online by reading HowToMakeMoneyOnline.ca! Also, write a blog post about his Beer Money Contest and you'll have a chance getting free $20 this week. How many beers would that buy?? >=)

Then watch this segment of Mel and Joey (on GMA-7 every Sunday at 8pm) featuring blogging as means of earning online =) Writer of YugaTech.com is one of the featured bloggers. He earns about $5000/month online! That's about P200000 right now. Not bad for someone working at home eh??

A few days ago, I posted that Microsoft is buying Yahoo for $44.6 billion (full post HERE) but Yahoo is not too keen about the "takeover" and gave a curt statement about it --

Its Board of Directors will evaluate this proposal carefully and promptly in the context of Yahoo!'s strategic plans...
I thought Apple will come to Yahoo's rescue (read my post HERE) but rumors say Google will be Yahoo's salvation! Check out the videos below and tell me what you think =)



P.S. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer was very confident talking to WallStreet Journal about Yahoo integration in his company. Is the takeover a done deal then?? Watch the news report about it HERE!

First, what is identity theft? According to Wikipedia, it "is a catch-all term for crimes involving illegal usage of another individual's identity" and its most common form is credit card fraud. Identity theft is one of the reasons why my father refuses to shop online via his credit card. I have assured him time and again, that unless he's been really careless about giving out his personal info, he won't be a victim of identity theft (specifically credit card fraud). But my assurance isn't enough -- I'm sure there's a program or service out there that my father can use so he will feel secure using credit card online. And that's where LifeLock came in.

LifeLock offers a proven solution that prevents your identity from being stolen. They will protect your identity and personal information for only $10 a month - and they can even guarantee up to $1,000,000! Currently, there are LifeLock promotion codes that you can use to get discount when you apply for their identity theft prevention service. This is hush-hush but one of the LifeLock.com promo code you can use is RD32 -- this will give you 30 Days Free and an exclusive discount =) If you're interested to avail of their service, don't forget the LifeLock.com Promotion Codes okay??

Then go to HDTV Reviews and read his "100 EntreCard credits GIVEAWAY" rules! Yes, it's a giveaway and not a contest unlike what all the other websites (and blogs) are doing =) If you don't have an EntreCard account, I still recommend you go visit his site -- he's got good reviews about High Definition TVs and other consumer electronics. Now, to collect my 100 credits.. YEAH!! =)


UPDATE!!!
I just got my 100 EC credits! =) Below is the email that I got. So what are you waiting for guys?? Visit HDTV Reviews now and make a post!

You have been sent 100 Entrecard credits!

These credits were sent from HDTVReviews direct to your Entrecard account and have been applied to your balance. The transaction included the following note from the sender:

Thanks! ;). Drop by Again

IS MICROSOFT'S YAHOO TAKEOVER A DONE DEAL?? GO WATCH!

SME or small to medium enterprises are the starting points of the big corporations of tomorrow. Usually these are mom-and-pop businesses that bloomed. Their major problem, especially when expanding their businesses, is the lack of cold hard cash. Sure, they can always apply for business loans in a bank or lending company, but that would take time. And most often, their application would just be disapproved. The solution? To use a third party like AFSLoansOnline.com for easy processing and fast funding of loans.

AFSLoansOnline.com is a business financing consulting company that specializes in unsecured lines of credit, personal and business loans. With them, your business loans will have a better chance to be approved by lenders because of their extensive experience. Check their site out for proof of their excellent service and excellent results. So if you have a small business needing more capital, let AFSLoansOnline.com help you get the money you need!

This is my SOURCE for this blog post. Read my previous post about Microsoft's alleged bid to buy Yahoo HERE. So, what do you think guys? Is a takeover in the midst?? Will Apple come to Yahoo's rescue?? If you don't know, Yahoo's Jerry Yang is very much in awe of Steve Jobs and has been very public about his admiration. Hmm, the suspense is killing me!!! LOL

From Yahoo Press Release:
Yahoo! Inc. (Nasdaq:YHOO), a leading global Internet company, today said that it has received an unsolicited proposal from Microsoft to acquire the Company. The Company said that its Board of Directors will evaluate this proposal carefully and promptly in the context of Yahoo!'s strategic plans and pursue the best course of action to maximize long-term value for shareholders.

From Nicki Dugan at the Yahoo! Anecdotal Blog:
Our Response To Microsoft's Proposal

As I’m sure you’ve heard by now, Microsoft made an unsolicited proposal to acquire Yahoo! yesterday evening. Since then, we’ve gotten quite a number of questions about what this means for Yahoo!. Right now our board of directors is evaluating the proposal and looking at all of our strategic alternatives, including maintaining Yahoo! as an independent company.

A review process like this is fluid and can take quite a bit of time, so while there’s not much we can say right now, we did want to refer you to this brief FAQ for more information.

From the FAQ referenced above issued by Yahoo Press:
FAQ: Unsolicited Proposal From Microsoft

Q1. How is Yahoo! responding to Microsoft’s proposal?
The Yahoo! Board is undertaking a deliberate review process. They’re going to take time to thoroughly evaluate the proposal in the context of Yahoo!'s strategic plans. This will include evaluating all of the Company’s strategic alternatives – including maintaining Yahoo! as an independent company. That process will take some time, but the Board will ultimately pursue the option that it believes can best maximize value for our shareholders.

Q2. How long will the Board’s review process take?
A review process like this is fluid, and it can take quite a bit of time.

Q3. Will the Board seek proposals from any other companies?
The Board is going to evaluate all of Yahoo!’s strategic alternatives and pursue the option that it believes can best maximize value for our shareholders.

Q4. What would a deal like this mean for Yahoo!’s users, advertisers, publishers, partners and people?
Yahoo!’s Board is going to evaluate all aspects of this proposal carefully and promptly in the context of the company's strategic plans and alternatives. So it wouldn't be appropriate to speculate about the potential benefits or challenges of a deal. But the review process that's underway won't have any impact on our efforts to deliver value to all of our users, advertisers, publishers and partners – as well as new and exciting opportunities to our employees.
