Giselle Sanchez for Enduranz

The bloggers had dinner with Giselle Sanchez and her husband, Emil Buencamino, last February 3, 2010 Saturday over at Fish and Co. in Greenbelt 3, Makati City. The discussion was free flowing, easy, and interesting with Giselle Sanchez exchanging ideas and witty repartee with the bloggers about showbiz, new age stuff, motherhood, and (of course) sex.

Watch out for more of Giselle at the Enduranz blog here.

Multiply and G-Cash

Multiply, sometime back, revised its terms of agreement to be able to allow its users to utilize the blogging and social network platform as a virtual e-store. Now it allows those who want to upgrade to Premium accounts to pay via G-Cash.

I think it’s not going to be long now before G-Cash is truly integrated into the system allowing Multiply users to be able to transact with other users using a built-in payment system that utilizes G-Cash as one of its payment options.

Will Smilds give you a reason to Smile?

My stuff from Smilds just arrived via courier a few minutes ago!

A quick check reveals a manual, my Smilds passport, a CD containing what I assume to be soft copies of the PR materials, and my Smilds debit and cash card pre-loaded with Php 2,000.00. My prize for winning best dressed during the blogger event (which makes me think I should dress up more often).

I can't wait to take this baby out for a spin. I'm beta testing for them and I'm going to see if I can actually use this baby to sell comics on an international level.

I'll keep you guys posted!

Make that First Impression Last

I know, I know...we’re not supposed to judge a book by its cover but, most of the time, we do.

It’s just human nature.

The same goes for your website.

Like it or not, the way your website is presented will make a big impact whether a customer is going to get your service, an investor will do business with you, or a visitor will stay long enough to find out exactly what it is that you do.

Rather than fight against human nature, we should use it to our advantage.

Check your website. Are you turning people away or are you attracting them?
