Stephenie Meyer's Midnight Sun


The 5th book of the Twilight saga, Midnight Sun by Stephenie Meyer, is now available for download [note: it's only a rough draft, not yet final] from the world wide web. Questions had been asked around, is this a leak or would this be a propaganda to tell the world that Breaking Dawn is not the end of the saga.

However, the author herself had commented on her website, "I have a good idea of how the leak happened as there were very few copies of Midnight Sun that left my possession and each was unique. Due to little changes I made to the manuscript at different times, I can tell when each left my possession and to whom it was given. The manuscript that was illegally distributed on the Internet was given to trusted individuals for a good purpose. I have no comment beyond that as I believe that there was no malicious intent with the initial distribution."

Midnight Sun, by the way, is Edward's version of Twilight.

Anyways, if you want to read the rough draft then you can get it here.

Colour


This is a poem of an African boy that, they say, was nominated for best poem sometime in 2005. [Correct me if I'm wrong.]


When I born, I Black,
When I grow up, I Black,
When I go in sun, I Black,
When I scared, I Black,
When I sick, I Black,
And when I die, I still black.

And you White fella,

When you born, you Pink,
When you grow up, you White,
When you go in sun, you Red,
When you cold, you Blue,
When you scared, you Yellow,
When you sick, you Green,
And when you die, you Gray.

And you calling me colored?



Nice one.

Time consuming...


I can't think of something to post again. Seems like everytime I see something nice and interesting it is captivating my attention away; and as a result I'm having less time writing and, or, posting articles in this blog of mine.

Before, I'm giving NBA Live 2006 more time than blogging.

Then came Mafia Wars in tagged.com; it's just addicting especially in growing the mafia and attacking enemies. I rarely post articles already, most especially to my blog regarding basketball. Now I totally lost that blog. Sigh!

While PC games NBA Live 06 was still on my clock, DoTA introduced itself. What a game!

Ever since I had my Facebook account I decided to giveup tagged.com since the former is offering more games, caught my interest.

And here comes NBA 2K10! Two-thumbs up game! I have my own created player for the MyPlayer™ mode... time consuming. I want to go back posting... Whatta!

Philippine Politics|Changed Topic

For the past few days I've been posting news regarding the brutal Maguindanao Massacre and also about politics here in the country. I would have to stop (temporarily) putting those articles in this blog; anyways, you can read news on Inquirer.net; from there you can browse their database. I'm opting for new topics now. Hmmmm... how about making money online? Nice one...

I've tried a lot of options before for me to monetize this blog, like Google Adsense, Bidvertiser, PayPerPost, etc. but seems like I'm not successful. Well, I've kept Google Adsense here hoping that there would be a change in the future (as you can see on those ads) like getting more $$$, you know what I mean. Those ads had been lurking the pages of this blog for more than a year already but I never received a paycheck, something might be wrong. It could be the contents of this site, it could also be my target readers, it could also be the placement of the ads, I need help.

For the past 3 days I've been trying to browse the web again searching for information, tips, guides for money-making online and believe me there are hundreds or even thousands of those sites; read only few of them. So, now I'm back to my monetizing quest again. If there are people out there that could help I would surely appreciate it.
