A Happy Death - Corazon "Cory" C. Aquino

It's been too long since I've posted a new blog entry. Been very busy for school works. There were a lot of happenings which I have missed, but I guess I really need to take a break off school and share my thoughts about what happened last August 1, 2009. It's the death of the Saint of People Power. Well, everybody knows her. She's not just Kris Aquino's mother, not just Ninoy Aquino's wife, but Cory Aquino, the one who was responsible for our country's democracy. I guess everybody should pay tribute for her. It was a real lost for our land. Everybody loves her. But I guess she died happily. She fulfilled her dreams and finished her task successfully. Here's what she thought about death. She made a prayer:

Almighty God, most merciful Father

You alone know the time

You alone know the hour

You alone know the moment

When I shall breathe my last.

So remind me each day,

most loving Father

To be the best that I can be.

To be humble, to be kind,

To be patient, to be true.

To embrace what is good,

To reject what is evil,

To adore only you.

When the final moment does come

Let not my loved ones grieve for long.

Let them comfort each other

And let them know

how much happiness

They brought into my life.

Let them pray for me,

As I will continue to pray for them,

Hoping that they will always pray,

for each other.

Let them know that they made possible

Whatever good I offered to our world.

And let them realize that our separation

Is just for a short while

As we prepare for our reunion in eternity.

Our Father in heaven,

You alone are my hope.

You alone are my salvation.

Thank you for your unconditional love, Amen.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief

At last! The teaser trailer for Rick Riordan's award-winning fantasy novel film adaptation: Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief was released on July 15, 2009 when Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince came to theatres. It was directed by Chris Columbus (director of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets), starring Logan Lerman as Percy Jackson together with Brandon T. Jackson, Alexandra Daddario, Jake Abel, Rosario Dawson, Steve Coogan, Uma Thurman, Catherine Keener and Pierce Brosnan.

It's really good when you have already read the novel. I recently finished reading book 2: "The Sea of Monsters" and I am now going to read the third instalment which is entitled "The Titans Curse." There are a lot of expectations for the film. Especially the critics which expect every novel-turned-blockbuster-hit-film would not give justice to the full story of a 500+ page book. Well, as of now, I am not expecting the best. It's really nice to see what I read for weeks go on into the big screen and to compare my own visions together with the film creators. The fans are really excited to see this one. It will be showing in theatres worldwide on February 12, 2010. Enjoy the teaser trailer!

3 Questions About Google AdSense PIN Verification

What is the Google AdSense Pin?

In order to check the publisher's address and after achieving the payment threshold which is $10, Google sends a personal identification number via post mail. It should be entered with the publisher's ID on the Google AdSense account page.

What if PIN is not yet received?

The PIN reaches your address within 2-3 weeks for US publishers, and takes much longer when outside US. Be patient. Check your address. Make sure its complete. Find out for the nearest post office in your area. Let's say the name is ABC Post Office. Change your registered address with this format: [your address], ABC. Try to ask for friends who already received the PIN successfully. If it really takes years for your PIN to arrive, tell him/her that you will use their address, then use it as your personal address on your Google account and request for a new PIN. By the way, publishers can request for another mail up to 2 times. All PINs are the same. Even if you request for another one, still one unique PIN should be sent to you, so there is no need to worry.

What to do after receiving PIN?

Congratulations! You can now enable payment for your account. These are the steps included on the mail:

STEP 1: Log in to your AdSense account with the username and password you created during the application process. URL: www.google.com/adsense

STEP 2: Select the My Account tab and click Payment History

STEP 3: Click the 'Please enter your PIN link'

STEP 4: Enter your PIN as it appears below.

Your PIN: xxxxxx

Now that your account is already validated, all you have to do is to earn. Write articles. Post quality information, to gain traffic and discover how Google AdSense allows publishers to earn easily.
