Yes, google pays teenagers!

How can I be sure? Well, I got paid myself. I guess that alone is enough to ease your doubt. If youre still not convinced, why dont you subscribe to my blog so youll get your proof every single day? *wink*

Anyways, I wrote about my eagerness to claim my google money (check it here) and yesterday, I finally had the chance to receive this payment and boy, I have a story to tell you guys. I was on a western union outlet to claim my payment and at first, everybody was very casual. There were quite a number of people there, majority were of course filipinos and there were two american males with their wives. So, I went to the teller (she was around 45, lonely and from the looks of it, she never had a BF since birth. haha!) and told her I wanted to receive my money and she told me in a very strict and somewhat angry tone to get a yellow form and fill it up completely and so I patiently obeyed. After completing the form, I handed it to her and the moment she saw the sender, she said "Uy, Google!" (Hey, its from google!). This was the moment that I started smiling.

She asked me lengthy questions on how, when, where I got the money and I told her im a blogger and that among others, we earn from google. She enthusiastically told me she was interested to blog and at this point, I was thinking about her possible niche and one idea struck me; Grave Digging! hahaha! Yes, she looked like that. You get me, im sure!

Among her numerous comments, she told me "uy, ilang million ka nag search sa google para mabayaran?" (How many million times did you use the search box of google to get paid?) and at this point in time, friends, I wanted to burst into laughter.

And so, to make the story short, she wanted to blog but she just couldnt. This experience really proved to me that blogging is not for everyone (and for every age for this matter).

How did google change your life today?

Hate online bingo spams? Me too! And im here to sympathize with you on this one.

Do you still remember the old internet explorer days and just when you were in your chair feeling relaxed and enjoying whatever youre doing and suddenly this blinky, glittery and awful online bingo pop-up comes? God, I remember shutting down the computer after it crashed because of these horrible stuff. (I was on dial-up connection back then)

What is bingo anyways? Well, if you ask me, i think its a great game offline especially if youre with friends or cousins, this would definitely liven the gathering but online? Its vicious! I got fooled once when a site offered me to play the best online bingo games in one of the online bingo rooms. It was alright when I was still playing with it but I found out a week or so after that my PC is full of malicious adwares. Hows that for a bingo cheap thrill?

Whats your bingo experience?

Almost three months ago, I wrote a post about finally switching to adsense and foregoing bidvertiser for alot of reasons. You can check out my post why I trashed bidvertiser away and right now, I think I made one of the best decisions in my whole blogging career. Of course you remember my post about a filipino earning $19,000 a month on adsense alone. Right? Well, im not on that lever just yet. *wink*

I got paid by google adsense!

Yes, thats right lads! I just found out last night that my payment was ready even before christmas day (it was ready for pickup on the 24th). I opted to receive my payment through western union since Its alot faster than checks which would take around 4 weeks and alot simpler than paypal since no bank transactions are needed.

Ive heard alot of amusing stories from other bloggers when they withdraw their money from outlets. Ive heard one sales lady asked a blogger upon payment, "are you working in google sir?" and the blogger said "yes, and we are many". Im hoping to use the same line if ever the sales person asks me today and ill let you know when I come back.

A special shoutout to Dark Knight of blue mumble and Kuya J of PMT for the info about the withdrawal.
