Most of my income now comes from writing for online content companies but though it's comfortable enough for my lifestyle, this hasn't really prevented me from looking for other means to earn money. I've been quite interested PTC...

rivengodwind Mind you, I'm actually not planning to do away with my writing and shift to PTCs full time. What I really want to know is it's a feasible alternative for some part-time work, you know, when my day's not full. So, is it? Or are there better things to do with my...

rivengodwind Hmm, so it doesn't really pay much eh? From what I gather, people earn from these sites only from getting referrals -- another hurdle for me so it seems. Again, I haven't tried much of PTC sites and got bored with the only PTC site that I tried before.

Our tendencies to find patterns in everything makes today an especially memorable day. Just look at today's date: made up all of 1's, it *should* be something special, right? Well, probably but we can't really bet on it. The...

rivengodwind Correct! It *shouldn't* have any significance because as I was saying in the original post, it is just our tendency to perceive patterns that makes this date a "popular" idea.

rivengodwind Oh, well from what I read, it's not really about using the Christian calendar or any Western derivation of it. The main influence that scholars were talking about was about the concept of having an Apocalypse, i.e. the end of the world. Mayans supposedly think...

rivengodwind I think I've got to try Aji Ginisa then. I've only tried Magic Sarap and Namnam before but I've heard good reviews about Aji Ginisa also. Anyway, I think it's safe enough but in moderation, I mean a pack for a viand would be okay but 5 packs would be...

rivengodwind That's interesting: quick-and-fast lugaw! I actually still do the normal gisa before I add on the ginisa mix (does this make sense)? For me Magic Sarap is a lot better than NamNam. Namnam tastes so much like the seasoning for the Lucky Me chicken noodle...

rivengodwind Vetsin was a staple in the "old days". I still have Nora Daza's cookbook filled with recipes that have this as an ingredient, LOL. Anyway, I think Ajinomoto made their Aji Ginisa to create a "healthier alternative" to vetsin so that's the reason why seasoning...

rivengodwind Ah, the mystery of monosodium glutamate. Actually, it's not as bad for your health as salt is, but heck pop research against it have been so intense that it has gotten a bad rap. But you're correct -- taking things in moderation is a good rule to go by.

rivengodwind I use it with fried eggs too, scrambled to perfection with milk and a pinch of pepper. (This is making me hungry, LOL) Ajinomoto was also a staple around the house before but I think perceptions about its bad effects on health (not sure if that's true or not)...

rivengodwind I know what you mean! Though I have to admit, at times I use a whole pack on what I'm cooking. It just seems as if I can't get wrong with it. The seasoning mix completes the taste somewhat, even more than what simple salt and pepper could.
