Philippine Airlines - The Better Airline in the Philippines

I used two airlines just 24 hours after I had written about the difference of PAL and Cebu Pacific. I had gone to Roxas City to pay my respects to my uncle who passed away. Going there, I flew via Cebu Pacific. Coming home to Manila, I used PAL. It sure is a blessing that I did that.

The main differences:

1. The airport - NAIA 2, PAL's airport is a hundred fold better. It's less crowded, the crowd seems to be more civil and the place doesn't smell like musk. the Domestic Airport is where Cebu Pacific flies from. Sometimes you just need to see a contrast to appreciate the one that you have.

2. The Flight - Take off and landing are better at PAL. There's no shaking you up and down and sideways. It's just the smooth flight all the way from start to finish.

3. Noise control - there were kids in both flights but I noticed that the noise was not too loud in the PAL flight.

So, like I said in my earlier blog, I still am a PAL customer. Happy to be one. But I won't hesitate to use Cebu Pacific if I really need to. It's an airline for Juan not Juana. haha!

PRC Registration - A Mess

So what's new? My friend and former classmate Ivy and I trotted to the PRC on Feb. 26. Unfortunately, we got there at 1:30 pm and there were so many people that the line only moved less than 100 meters in 2 hours! We decided to leave and go back the following day instead.

We were there yesterday. It was so frustrating because the people in PRC were telling us what we should do or have done first when there were no instructions to be found anywhere in the first place. During my registration for my teaching license, there was a flow chart that we could follow. Now, when there's a multitude of new nurses trying to get a hold of their license as quickly as possible, you'd expect a mob right there. Well, there was a line alright but you don't what it was for. So, you just line up and find out at the end what it is or ask everybody else what it is for. That's just how it is at the Professional Regulation Commission. Some professional!

Fine Dining in Tagaytay- Gourmet Cafe

Gourmet Cafe is one of the most popular restaurants in Tagaytay. Funny that though we are an adventurous family, this is the first time we have ever been to their restaurant in the city. My visiting uncle arrived and we took him there to lunch today. It turned to be a very pleasant experience.



There are two places you can eat in - the Cafe and the Fining Dining area. The Fine Dining area is a wonderful, cozy place. A pianist playing some soft music greets us as we entered. There are a few tables spread out in very comfortable distances such that we didn't hear the conversation of guests in the table next to ours. We got there at about 1:30 pm. Fortunately, there were guests who just billed out and we were given a table by the side door with a view of the pineapple plantation which I liked.



From the menu, we ordered Fish and Fries, Seafood Scampi Pasta and Creamy Carbonara. After the orders were placed, my husband along with my daughter and our guest went over to the Salad bar and got food from there too. It was nice to have that bar around because we were so hungry already that waiting for our order would have made our wait unpleasant. Food was great and the ambiance was superb - it was cloudy so the air was relative cooler than the usual for Tagaytay.



After lunch, we toured the place. Gourmet allows it's dining guests to see their 7 hectare farm full of herbs and vegetables which they use in their dishes. The tour guide, Jeremy, told us about the herbs and their uses. He even had us smell some of the herbs which reminded us of our trip to Eden in Davao. Sadly, though, we were in a hurry because my daughter had to chat with her classmates for a project in school. So, we were off to the Cafe which has a wi-fi connection. The laptop had been brought so she could chat while we were in Tagaytay.




At the cafe, we had coffee and some cookies which were herb-flavored. Those were unusual but tasteful flavors that my uncle bought some to bring back to the US. Overall, the dining experience at Gourmet Cafe is well worth the price in their menu - affordable and satisying.

Philippine Airlines Versus Cebu Pacific - Which one?

Lately there have been many travel sale from 2 of the biggest airline companies in the Philippines - Philippine Airlines and Cebu Pacific Airways. Both claim to be the number 1 airline in the country. But when I asked my friend to join us in our Hong Kong trip via Cebu Pacific, he said he preferred to travel via PAL. I cannot fathom the logic.

While Philippine Airlines is the first airline company and is therefore the most established, it cannot be denied that Cebu Pacific is now gaining popularity mainly because of its very low rates to both domestic and international destinations. Funny how at the start PAL did not seem to mind the competition and not until perhaps a couple of years back did they come up with rates comparable to that of the competitor's. Were they so confident of their market position?

PAL has its following. No doubt about that. They have set their mark on the philippine airline industry that is hard to disregard. I have always used their service. Well, not always really because there was one time when I couldn't get a booking that I tried Cebu Pacific. However, in a country such as the Philippines where buyers and consumers look out for value-for-money commodities, Cebu Pacific is able to win the crowd. Mind you, that's a large chunk of the pie. Imagine being able to fly to a place you have not gone to for less than 3/4 of the price? Who wouldn't want to travel anyway?

Not just for the money, Cebu Pacific has now added several destinations to their existing ones. Where can you find a price of about 4,500 pesos to go to Hong Kong? Never did I imagine. But yes, they did offer that. For that particular flight, the airfare only cost 888 php.

What's really unthinkable is how Cebu Pacific is able to bring down their prices with as little as 1 peso to fly to, say, Puerto Princesa or Davao? Or maybe 888 to go to Shanghai or Singapore? Of course these do not include the taxes and some charges which you will have to pay for in addition to the airfare. Why didn't PAL think of such a deal in the first place? They would have had a lot more loyal customers what with the decades of advantage they have.

Some say that PAL's advantage is the quality of service that you get. Hmmmm... I can't say the same. Cebu Pacific's service is low-cost. But in the domestic routes, isn't PAL going towards that direction too?

So, the bottom line is it doesn't matter which airline is chosen because they get to their destinations in one piece - both of them. The battle is now a matter of how much it will cost.

If You Love Science - Kids at Singapore Science Center

Ikee had wanted to visit Singapore again this year. If not because I told her that we should be able to go to a new place every year or at least when we travel abroad, she would have opted to be in Singapore for only one reason - to visit the Singapore Science Center again.

Yes, you read it right. Again. We went there in October of 2006. I, being the family's tour director, had prepared our itinerary before getting there. Little did I know that she already contemplated on going to the SSC because she had surfed the web and found it. Hah, that's what the internet does to kids these days. They know a lot!

The moment we got to the hotel and unpacked, I told them where we should be going the following day. But she suggested going to the SSC because she had also seen a brochure at the hotel. We didn't really have much of a choice did we? After all, the real reason we travel is so that Ikee would get her exposure.

Off we went the following day. Ikee had the time of her life! The museum had lots of exhibits that showed the science in almost everything you could imagine. There was a show that day and it looked more like a magical show featuring electricity. There was a physics garden that had illusions and other things showing off the wonders of physics. There were funny things too. Like there was one where Ikee went looking for her dad's body because we only saw his head on top of a table. We got to watch an omnimax show just like the one we watched at the Universal Studios. Now for a kid who's into science, it was heaven. Not that I am one but I did enjoy it there too. For science teachers, the SSC would be like a treasure trove.

I believe all kids visiting Singapore should see the Singapore Science Center. They'd love it. They'd learn from it. While parents would love to bring them there because well, it's cheap. They spend hours and hours there and while they see their kids have the time of their lives without even wanting to eat without prodding or blackmailing. Actually, if there's just one adult left with the kids, the others can already go on with the shopping or go to another place they'd be more interested in. But you know what, even the adults will like seeing the place too. I'm pretty sure the whole family will want to return after a trip.

Getting there is relatively easy. take the MRT and alight at Jurong East Station on the East West Line. Then walk - Singapore Science Centre is just an 8-minute walk from the Jurong East Bus Interchange/MRT Station. You can take a cab but why not enjoy the sights? Anyway, the SSC opens at 10 am.

Oakwood Bangkok - A Premier Residence

When my husband got an assignment in Bangkok, he stayed at the Oakwood the whole time. So did a majority of the members of his team. During the semestral break, we were fortunate enough to able to visit him there.

I loved his room. It was a 1 bedroom suite with a kitchen. It had a bathroom of about 15 square meters big, a bath tub, and was provided with the usual toiletries. It even had a hair dryer which I really liked. The room opened up to the living room. That's because the sala was positioned so that it had a view of the street and the raffles hotel. He was provided with a large tv, a dvd player, phone, kitchen utensils including dinnerware, silver and cookware. There was a ref of about 12 cubic feet, a microwave, toaster, oven range with rangehood, a dining table for 4. It had a centralized aircon each with its own switch and control. The bed is a queen size and he had a tv and a large closet. It even had a view too. There was a vacant lot where we found some elephants basking under the sun while giving themselves a soil bath. Nice. Being from the Phlippines, elephants are not a usual sight unless you're at the Manila zoo every single day. hehehe

Oakwood is a serviced apartment so a maid regularly came to clean his unit. The laundry was done there too except for those that needed to be dry cleaned. There's really nothing to worry about when staying there.

What I liked most is the short distance to the malls. It's close but not too close so it's not crowded in the area. It has its own shuttle service which is free for its customers to use. The Thais are hospitable people and Oakwood shows it in its service. Not to mention the fact that Bangkok is known for its splendid cuisine. The buffet at Oakwood has a good selection. I just love Bangkok... and Oakwood which is just a little less than home.

Mutya ng Pasig Market - an Alternative to Divisoria

Many people know about Divisoria. It is noted for having a wide variety of choices which are sold at rock bottom prices. But for those who live in Pasig, we have an alternative to Divisoria - The Pasig Market.

Why would we go to Divisoria when it's so far away? I mean it's about 1.5 hours by public transpo to get there. And that's even by train! Mutya ng Pasig is just a stone's throw away from the Pasig City hall. Cheap goods can be had here too, in Pasig, every Saturday. Saturday is a market day and it is the time when manufacturers bring their wares to sell at the 3rd floor of the market. You can get the goods at really really low rates. You can haggle with them for the price that you like. And you can get home in less than 20 minutes.

What I do not like in the Pasig Market though is that it is not airconditioned like 168 or Tutuban. It gets too crowded there in the early part of the day that more often than not there's very little space left between you and the next person. What's more is that Divisoria has more goods to offer.

But it's still worth going to the Mutya ng Pasig. Just don't go early. around 12 noon would be the best time. The downside is that most goods have already been sold. Not to worry, there are still some to choose from.

Where Should I Settle?

Travelling has many purposes. The main reason for me is for leisure. For others, it may be to transact business. For others, to scout for a new environment. If travelling for you means looking for a place to settle in, the internet offers many alternatives. Still, like I always say, scouting around the internet would be a good way to start.

These days, Nurses from the Philippines are highly in demand in the US and other parts of the world. I am one of those nurses who would like to relocate to the US to find greener pastures. When considering the US, I would like to start by looking at the environment where I would have to eventually bring my family to live. First, I considered New York because there are plenty of hospitals there and I heard that the pay is good. Besides, there might be good employment options for my hubby having a wide experience in the corporate world. My husband, however, prefers Florida. In Florida though, I'd like to stay in Miami simply because of its proximity to the beach. I've always dreamt of living by the beach while going to work nearby.

I always say it is worth a trip to check out the places where one intends to live. I've found some properties over the internet for Florida, Miami, and New York along with the other states but these 3 I would like to focus on. They take priority in my choices. It might be better to rent for a while to get a feel of the place because unlike the Philippines, it is easier to find a property to buy in the US. Some say when you like it, buy it. But for me, there are 2 reasons that will make me buy some thing. First, is if I really really need it and that my life won't go on normally if I don't get it. Next is if I really really want it and have my reasons for wanting it. But if I want it and cannot justify why I want it, then it's not worth buying.

It's timely because my husband's US visa will expire next year and we need to use it before it does. So, dare I say "US here we come!"

New Zealand - Land of Milk and Honey

Literally, New Zealand is the land of milk and honey as it is a vast agricultural land . We have been invited to visit New Zealand. Why? After my husband's friend heard that I have gotten my nursing degree, he sent us a link about how NZ needs nurses and how they prefer Filipino graduates. That's good. After all, I had been prodding my husband about migrating to NZ for a very, very long time.

As an Executive Secretary, I saw several pictures of Auckland, Wellington and Queenstown from business contacts. They had brought me goods from the place. I heard so many stories about how they live by the beach while driving to work everyday. I love that kind of life.

Auckland is a city near the beach. But despite its urbanity, it does not fail to showcase its heritage and culture. Wellington is the capital of New Zealand and apart from being an arts and culture center, it is beautifully set in a place very close to nature - forests, mountains, wildlife sanctuaries, the sea. It's a nature lover's paradise. Imagine the tranquility of the forest or the sea breeze on a cloudy day...

I think it's worth a family vacation to check on whether the place suits our taste. Or, if not to immigrate, at least to enjoy its culture and its landscape that sets it apart.

Bargain hunting in the Philippines - Divisoria

When bargain hunting in the Philippines, you have a choice of going to specific towns to get a really good price if you intend to sell them (like to find a barong in Bulacan, Paete for carved items, Cebu for guitars) or go to centers in the city which we call are "bagsakan".

The best among these centers is Divisoria. There, you can find practically everything - shoes, bags, tees, native items, etc., furniture, appliances, fruits - name it! Many come from different countries but most items are locally made. I personally don't like buying clothes there. That's because these clothes are hurriedly done perhaps to keep the labor cost down ultimately keep the prices low too. I normally buy the imported ones or those that are made to order. But the other things are ok.

The items come in really cheap and attractive prices. What's more is that you can actually bargain with the vendors for a price that you can both agree on. The technique is pretty much like you would bargain in any asian city: First, ask for the price. Then, estimate about 50% and ask the vendor to give it to you at that price. next, when the vendor does not agree, you may do two things - walk away or haggle some more. I would haggle further. Chances are that you'd get it close to the rate you like.

The best way to get to divisoria is to ride the LRT or MRT. Go down at Recto station. Once in recto, take a jeep marked divisoria. You have a choice of going to 168 mall, Tutuban Mall or the infamous Ylaya which is the old divisoria. I enjoy going to 168 because it's cleaner and the airconditioning is really good.

A word to the wise: keep your wallets and your bags close to you and where you an see it. There are many pickpockets there and they've trained well for it. Also, Divisoria is a very polluted place. The streets are dirty, the air is a mixture of the the smell of fish, musk, and sewer. Now, if you don't mind the tight and polluted part of city and would like to go find really good buys, Divisoria should be at the top of your list. Otherwise, drop the idea and go somewhere else like Tiendesitas and Market Market which sell practically the same items but are priced higher.

The Land the Merlion Protects - family trip to Singapore

I love Singapore among other things. I love how the city is kept clean and how the people are disciplined. You can't buy a chewing gum there because you'll get caught. No kidding. Also, don't try to bring gum nor cigarettes into Singapore because you'll be made to pay dearly. There are many job opportunities for my husband and I. And, not to mention, that it has one of the best educational system in the world.

We were there in October of 2006 and had only 3 days stay . Like the other trips, it was a treat for my daughter. But, we were on a tight budget unlike when we went to the US and to Bangkok. The hotel we booked with was the YWCA Fort Canning Lodge. My husband's cousin, Rowie, who is based there, suggested it. It had a small room but it was clean and we were comfy. The location is great because it is very near the Raffles and very close to the malls. What more could I ask for?

For the 3 days stay we only got to visit 3 places: The Sentosa Island, the Singapore Science Center and the Snow City which is at the back of the SSC. Ikee enjoyed it best at the SSC. I think most kids would. It's an interactive museum which features all kinds of science exhibits and has a 3d movie house. The Snow city is a place to play in a very cold place. It simulates the feeling of a snowland (which is why it's called snow city in the first place... hehehe). We liked it there too because we were able to frolick. It was just soooo cold!

Sentosa is an island. We rode the cable car to get there. And there's a bus that goes around the island if you just want to see it first. There was an aquarium in the likes of the Aquarium of the Pacific but smaller. It was a shame that we didn't get to see the lights show but there's always a next time. Just not sure when though. Great for a family trip too.

The best way, to travel around singapore is via the MRT. It's cheap, fast and you'd get a bird's eyeview of what Singapore really has to offer. There are interconnections almost everywhere that it is impossible to miss it.

Many of the Singaporeans speak english. Not the kind that you'd expect from a Filipino but they're quite good. We did not have a single problem communicating with them. The resto I can recommend is the "a place with no name" or something that sounds like that. it's near the channel where they have the Merlion. Their seafood is to die for!

Shopping in Singapore isn't really that good with the exception of electronic goods. But if you buy electronic goods, you'd have to be a regular traveller to Singapore or know someone who does since the warranty that they give is only applicable in Singapore. I'd buy my goods in my home counry if I were you. The rest are just as much as what we have in the Philippines. Shopping is a lot better in Thailand.

The weather is pretty much like the Philippines. It has two seasons - summer and rain. It gets really hot during the summer and is humid throughout the year.

Well, that's it for now. Ciao!

Hong Kong on a Budget

Everyone who visits a new place and does not take a package tour will be jittery and a bit scared of getting lost and feeling really helpless. What more when going to a place where noone speaks english or your native tongue? I feel that way everytime we go on a trip abroad. I mean, I don't know the place nor does my husband. The worst part is that everyone in our party counts on me to know what to do and where to go, as if I was the tour guide and that adds to the jitters. But each time we come home from a trip, the feeling of being able to accomplish something for yourself and for your family is there, and it feels good.

Well, I always start with research,then book, then research, buy a map, then research, and more research. So yes, you got it right, the secret is to research. Start off with viewing websites such as virtuatourist and lonely planet. These two offer tips for going about your destination and you can book online with them. But I don't book with either one. With VT, I am able to save my travel guides to a certain folder which is exclusive for a particular destination. You'll have to be a member to do that. Anyway, membership is free. I read travel guides and ask questions in the forum. The guys at vt (I'm a member too you know) are really accommodating and will try to help in anyway they can.

After I have made my temporary IT, I try to check out the prices. I won't expound on this as I have written a blog about it so do read the other posts. the resources I have for booking flights include Trip Advisor, Booking.com, cheaperthanhotels.com, Expedia.com, Asiatravel, ctrip.com, and Hostelworld.com. Hostelworld and booking.com have hostels listed for the budget conscious travellers which we are.

Next, I read more on the places of interest. For Hong Kong, I found THKA and the Hong Kong tourism Board to be of so much use. THKA offers a local's way to go around hong kong, saving the traveller money from taking cabs and suggests walks that can be done by themselves. The Hong Kong Tourism Board gives you more options to include in your IT attractions that you can visit for free such as the museums that are free on wednesdays and tuesdays, heritage walks, free chinese junk ride, free visit to a theater, and the MTR-Ocean park package (which gives you a free ride).

I don't find Hong Kong cheap at all. So, because we have 8 days and 7 nights to spend for our holiday, I've decided to include both Macau and Zhuhai in our IT too. These two places are also interesting because they give another perspective of the modern China - Macau for the Portuguese-cantonese culture and Zhuhai for the beach, the chinese palace and shopping! Well, Shopping mainly because according to my sources, Zhuhai is the place where you can get cheap goods (mostly unbranded and imitations though). Cheaper than Shenzhen and way way lower than Hong Kong.

We need a visa to go to zhuhai. So, instead of getting a chinese visa from here which will cost us 1,500 php each, I've discovered that we can actually get them at either Macau or Hong Kong. It only takes a few hours to secure the visa and is good for single entry and exit at zhuhai only. This costs about 750 php which will save us 50%. Also, Zhuhai hotels cost only about 30 to 50% of the hotel prices in HK and Macau for the same hotel star rating. Jumbo Hotel costs only 30 USD per night and it's even a 4 star hotel (5 star even according to some).

If you've been following my blog you'd know that I gave myself a 25k challenge for the whole Macau, HK and Zhuhai trip. So far so good. I've still managed to keep the costs to 21k including the ferry trip which costs around 4,500 php for all 3 of us, and the chinese visa. It is a good thing that the main purpose of the trip is to orient my daughter with chinese history and culture so we can actually stay out of Disneyland. Well, quite frankly, she's not so interested in going because she says it's too small when compared to the disneyland parks she's been to. That saves me at least 180 USD. plus, the places she wants to see are either free or cheap with the exception of the Ocean park which is not that expensive either.

I guess that's that for now. I'll let you know my final IT before I leave. Check back in when you can.

A Blast at the Mines

Last December my family and I were in Baguio (again for the nth time). It has become a family tradition to visit the summer capital at that time of the year. Just so we don't get tired of going to the place, I make it a point to go to a new spot during each visit. This time it was the Balatoc Mines. I first heard about it in the virtualtourist website. VT Bikepacker featured it in his travel guide and I had read it in 2006 before the trip that year. finally, we got there this time. Just as I have read, The Balatoc Mines is an old gold mining company whose founders were americans. It was established almost at the same time Baguio was built - in the early 1900's. For several years they operated in the area until the time when the market for gold went bad. Their earnings were lower than their expenses then so that management decided to fold up the business. However, in the recent past - about 3 years or so - with the help of the Department of Tourism, the mines had been converted into the country's first and only mine ride.





A visitor is allowed to become a miner for a day. First, one has to wear the right paraphernalia. We were made to use boots and hard hats. Then, we had to go for a little orientation so that we know what to expect. the ride was with the use of a real miner's train. A guide went with us to explain what was happening. We were led into a miner's cave where the ore was found. this place had already been abandoned for some reason so that noone else was there but us. It was a little scary to find out that houses stood above the place where we were at. I mean, you know, what if during a blast, the earth got so soft that it crumbled! I'd hate to think the worst. I and my family were there in that cave. But that was remote. We learned that Balatoc Mines placed in some fillings enough to replace that which they harvested. They were safety conscious as well as environment-friendly.








At one point during the ride, a real blasting was done. Of course we went for cover. How deafening it had been. The smoke it emitted was still there 15 minutes after the explosion which I should say is not friendly to the nose nor the lungs at all.





After that, we were off to a real mine. There, the miners were processing the ore, cleaning it until there was not too much earth in it. Ore really does go through fire to yield its gold. There was a gate which shut close a cave. This, we later found out, is where the real mining is being done. The miners, all men, stayed inside that hole for 8 straight hours. Noone could enter nor leave unless it was time to do so. The miners, being all men, wore nothing but their undergarments down there. This is done because it is easier to track whether anyone brought home something that they shouldn't have. everyone was accounted for and when someone is missing, there'd be a team to look for that person in the mine. It really wasn't a life I could imagine having but these guys brave it day in and day out to make a living. I'd hate to be in their shoes. The tour ended in a visit to the small museum. Overall, the Balatoc mine is a ride to experience.

Pay Your Hotel at Your Destination

Most online travel agents ask their clients to pay the reservation fee or the full amount of their hotel stay right when their desired dates are confirmed. this is what I knew all along. While looking for the hotels for our Hk trip, I noticed that both destiny.com and asiatravel.com do not follow this practice. There's always an exception to the rule, though, because some hotels do ask for the deposit via credit card. It's good to have a credit card when dealing with online travel agencies because that's the way you pay them.

By the way, just to let you know, both booking.com and asiatravel.com are reliable sites according to my sources. I have yet to find out.

Hostels and Budget Hotels in Hong Kong

After asking friends and researching over the internet, I've found that most of the hostels and budget hotels in Hong Kong have very small sizes. Also, that these places mostly do not have towels for their clients to use. Well, for hostels that could be forgiven. But for hotels? How do they manage to get a 1 or 2 star rating?

Another thing is that most accommodations in Hong Kong cannot give a price for a reservation that's made more than 60 days of the check in date. That's because they would like to charge higher rates during the peak season.

To address these concerns, it is necessary to:
1. Check out the room first. Some places have crawling creatures or smell like smoke even when it's supposed to be a non-smoking room.
2. book a large room - if there are 3 of you travelling, then you should probably get a room that's good for 4. That's to assure you that you'd have space for your luggage.
3. Bring a towel or buy one in HK.
4. Reserve with an online travel agency that can get the desired date for you. I've heard that Hotelclubs.com, hotels.com, ratestogo.com, asiarooms.com, asiatravel.com, expedia.com, booking.com, cheaperthanhotels.com, hostelworld.com, tripadvisor.com and travelocity are some of the more reliable sites.
5. Just for added security, it would be best to pay through paypal if the travel agency or hotel will accept it.

Keep safe and happy travelling!

Earn While I blog? Why not?

I love to blog. It gives me the necessary brain activity I need. But earning while blogging makes it more interesting. Wouldn't you agree?

I'm talking about setting up an online travel agency. Well, not actually a travel agency as the travel technology claims to connect the travel suppliers with the consumers directly giving the consumer more flexibility and wider options. Just an online booking engine. I've seen one of those blogs while searching for travel options for HK. Nice. I didn't think that it is possible for me too. Although I should do some research as to its reliability first. I'll update you on this in case

I've been thinking too of a business for my mom in the US. The Caregiving Agency they own is not doing so well and they need something to augment their income. They love to travel, like me, and are valuable sources of information regarding US domestic travel. Some of their friends run to them to get opinions, get directions and the like. Travel Distribution will provide them the opportunity to help and earn at the same time.

As I understand it, There's just a link that has to be placed on the website and voila! it's there. Just like Google Adsense where you blog what you like and get some dinero too. Let's see if it will work for me.
