So many guys have joined the bandwagon switching from the everyday hair gel to the all-new hair wax as popularized by Gatsby a couple of years ago. Gatsby Hair Wax is a commercial success because of the ease of everyday hairstyling for Men. To date, Gatsby Hair Wax already has five variants.

The little girl turned five months last Saturday. Has it really been five months now since she was born into this world?
She's grown up a lot in that short span of time.
- She can roll over on to her tummy very easily, with little or no help from us. Getting back to lie on her back is still a bit more difficult for her.
- She is more vocal than ever. By this I mean, she loves to shout and scream and make all kinds of noise. I suppose she is into exploring sounds these days.
- Aside from sound, Erin is very much into exploring through touch. She will grab anything placed near her and bring them to her mouth. I think this is because she may also be teething.
- Her hair is getting pretty long, and therefore, unruly. Those Goody barrettes are the greatest! :D
- Erin is more sociable as well. By just throwing her a big smile, she will also do the same. Sometimes, we are rewarded with giggles.
- She's starting to sleep better too, especially at night. Thank God! No need to explain this one. :)
- Erin's more aware of her surroundings now. She knows when I've left the room. Sometimes I think she's starting to develop separation anxiety. :(
Babies grow up so fast! They are amazing, I tell you. They can surprise you every now and then. More often than not, these surprises are just a delight.

Reminiscing
Its been exactly one month and 3 days since i started blogging for money online. I can vividly remember my very
first post. I mentioned "i dont know where im heading. . . but time will tell". Comparing the way i post a month ago and the way i do now, alot of bloggers tell me, ive grown. Thanks for the flattery guys!
Personally, i really think this is because of my exposure to alot of things on the internet and blogging in particular. I saw different styles of writing, different presentation of ideas, and i couldnt help myself but get influenced.
My money making mission is on its way.
Ive put up ads, signed up for numerous money makers (you can see them on my sidebar), posted sponsored posts and alot more! I told myself that credibility will be a virtue on my blog and because of this, you wont see any untested, unconfirmed and unreliable money-making ways posted here unless i experienced it first hand. So, do visit me often if you want to know tested ways to earn money online. I suggest you
subscribe via e-mail so it would be alot easier for you.
My new Plan of Action for this month.
I have too much things to think about for this month but ill start to carry out the more feasible ones first.
- Complete 100 backlinks requirement - My goal for this month is to complete the 100 backlinks requirement of Google to be ranked. So, if you think Kirbitz is worth linking to, just contact me at your earliest convenience and help me attain this goal.
- Make more guest posts - Some of you might be from the blog of Carlo of Carlocab. I made a guest post there and so far, this has been beneficial to my blog. So for my second month, im planning to make more guest posts to my fellow bloggers if y time permits. So if you want me to be a guest poster to your blog, again, Contact me at your earliest convenience. Id love to hear from you.
- Change Layout - Now this i think is more complicated than the two preceding ones. I need to analyze what my readers really like and what they prefer more. This has to be double function, it has to be pleasing to the eye, yet be beneficial ads-wise. So, watch out what happens.
- More traffic - Traffic is something that i havent had enough of in my first month. At first, its a little dissapointing but i learned its normal for every blog. Afterall, i havent engaged in any monetary interventions to increase my traffic nor do i intend to in the future. This blog will continue to exist until both my readers and me will have benefits from each other.
- Find more money making ways - This is so obvious that i had second thoughts of including this one at all. But just for the record, i have been doing this and will continue doing so in the coming months.
That's it! I plan to have this implemented this month. Actually i have many more to mention but as I said, i focused more on the short-term ones. So, if you want to support kirbitz, Just visiting often is already a big help. And to those who have been loyally with kirbitz, My sincerest gratitude to you. See you again on the 19th next month! Just remember, if you want to make money online, dont forget to
FEED YOUR GREED!

Hello! Yes I am still alive. Sorry for the sudden absence. A lot went on and I wasn’t even able to keep up. Hehe! But I remember somewhere in this blog I said that I might fall into an unexpected blog hiatus, so here I’m updating you with whatever. I just got back from a two week vacation (1week at the hospital and 1week in Hong Kong) and I’m at work now doing OT. And since I’m sleepy and still lazy I will keep this short and snappy. I will post the updates chronologically in the succeeding entries which shall be very detailed and will include the following: pics, pics, and more pics. I will try to make it succinct so as not to bore you (because my life sucks like that) Yay!
Here is a sneak peak

Thanks to the people who attended last Friday's
roundtable discussion on monitoring the news media coverage of the 2007 elections. It kept raining last Friday, but more than 50 people attended. Thank you, thank you.
Here is a short report of what happened.
Improvement noted in media coverage of 2007 elections Source:
Center for Media Freedom and ResponsibilityThere was widespread awareness of the professional and ethical responsibilities of the press among the major media players. TV networks ABS-CBN 2 and GMA-7 and the leading Manila broadsheets seemed very much aware of the importance of their role in the 2007 elections.
The leading media organizations in both print and television also prepared their staffs for the coverage through seminars and briefings, in which the ethics of reporting the elections was emphasized.
These were among the conclusions of the study on media coverage of the 2007 elections conducted by the non-governmental Center for Media Freedom and Responsibility (CMFR). The results of the study were released today during a roundtable discussion at the Filipinas Heritage Library in Makati.

here. Other reports published in newspapers and online available on Monday.
To the interns and volunteers who attended --
Dana,
Criz (with friend Xan),
Rocel, Mark -- thanks again.
Now that the book on the project is out, I think I can breathe a little better and resume my work -- and life -- at a slower, more relaxed pace.
Meanwhile, here's an interesting entry from the
Chicago Tribune. A Harry Potter check for journalists? "Perhaps it is time for each news organization, reporter and editor to institute a Harry Potter check," P
atrick Reardon wrote in the
Chicago Tribune last August 12. "Call it a human decency test."
What would Harry Potter do?
By Patrick T. ReardonSource: Chicago Tribune
The extraordinary thing about the final Harry Potter book isn't that it has sold umpteen millions of copies. It's that the news media -- traditional and non-traditional, print and digital -- have treated the story with an unusual degree of human decency.
Maybe there's a lesson to be learned.
Although copies of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" were in circulation in the days leading up to its official publication date of July 21, news organizations and individual bloggers, almost unanimously, refused to disclose details of the novel. They didn't reveal the ending. They didn't make public even the usual plot and character bits routinely mentioned in book reviews.
In the weeks since, those same editors and writers have gone to extreme lengths to protect the book's secrets by splashing spoiler alerts prominently on any story that might give the merest whiff of the story's twists and turns.
In thousands of private decisions, writers, editors, publishers and bloggers have determined that they don't want to spoil the book for Harry Potter's fans. Maybe it would have been different if those fans had all been adults. But most are children. And the decision was made, over and over and over, not to break their hearts.
I'm glad. I think that was the right thing to do and a good instinct to follow. The world was better for it.
Normally, journalists aren't so mushy. Normally, the argument that the public has a right to know anything and everything trumps all other considerations. Behind this argument isn't just 1st Amendment pieties. There's also a competitive imperative. The rush to be first with news doesn't leave much room for consideration of whether a particular revelation is the sort of news that the public must know.
Usually, it's not a fictional plot that gets revealed but the real-world details of someone's private life.
This isn't the way it has always been. The famous example is Franklin Delano Roosevelt's polio-crippled legs.

On the local front, I am glad that the
Philippine Daily Inquirer recently had a front-page report on the only winner from Ang Kapatiran Party in the last elections. Hats off to the
Inquirer for continuously covering Ang Kapatiran even before the polls were already finished. In our monitoring project that monitored the country's three top broadsheets,
Inquirer was cited for its exceptional coverage of the party.
Kapatiran’s lone winner keeps party’s flame burning
By Christian V. Esguerra Source: Philippine Daily Inquirer MANILA, Philippines—The flame of Ang Kapatiran and its campaign for a God-centered politics did not die with its crushing defeat in the May elections.
Keeping it alive is a city councilor—the only one who won out of the 27 candidates that the party fielded—who is now engaged in a lonely battle against a key population control measure being introduced in Olongapo City.
John Carlos de los Reyes is fighting what he says is an attempt by foreign and local organizations to introduce a city measure to curb the Philippines’ runaway population growth “through the back door.”
