Another goldmine Pinoys on 'Ellen Show' soon

A huge number of people around the world are known for uploading amateur videos on social media in the hope that they can earn 'clicks,' or exposure. Some of them have been extremely successful that the global attractions they have created are phenomenal. Who can forget how Justin Bieber was discovered? How about an educated South Korean who earned a worldwide appeal for singing 'Gangnam Style'? All these happened through viral videos proliferated through a free site called Youtube.

Recently, Aldrich Lloyd Talonding (vocals) and  James Walter Bucong (guitar) of General Santos City, Philippines, uploaded a song titled 'Dance with my father' on Youtube. It started as one of those Facebook reviews that encouraged 'likes.' However, when a popular TV personality is attracted and invites you to her program, what else can you do? This happens when well-acclaimed Ellen DeGeneres personally invites them to her self-titled show.

Has it happened out of luck or was done on purpose?

We'll see what's next!

Shopping and grocery coupons, Anyone?

Not everyone uses coupons. However, every shopper is thrilled with clearance sales.

People who use coupons are concerned about when sales are scheduled. Some of them even benefit from double or triple discounts using their coupons. I have personally took advantage of coupons. I only paid for a Photography magazine subscription for a fraction of a cost, about $3.99 in one year. I also enjoyed 30% using a coupon in purchasing a North Face signature jacket, and a pro camera for only $199.00. I must honestly admit that I was so amazed by the coupon cuts on prices, but I do not have the luxury of time in digging out which coupons to use even in buying bathroom cleaners, paper towels, or bacon.

However, a few people are doing extraordinary job by using extreme couponing. Even Kourtney Kardashian of the highly publicized 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' became a couponing afficionada for a short time.

100 Spam Trigger Words & Phrases To Avoid

I was browsing through the loop when something caught my interest: spam trigger words and phrases in emails.

Because email has been a part of ordinary life, most of us are no longer concerned about how we construct our mails. Gone are the days when beautifully crafted rhetorical formal letters were subjected to the intellectual eye of English teachers and university professors. Much of what we do today are shortcuts that are meant to make life easier. However, have we ever thought that some of our emails have not actually been delivered to recipients? That is possible. With the encryption technology being used by email networks nowadays, some of our most important emails may just be slam-dunked into an alternative inbox called SPAM. It hurts if after efforts to communicate, to promote something through email marketing, or to transmit an advertisement about our newly found extra income opportunity, nothing is really getting across because the emails were thrown into trash automatically.

What could be the reason? The use of some trigger words and phrases.

Below are 100 spam trigger words and phrases, collected by Mannix Marketing, that when we use in either the header or body of emails will end up in trash.

Travel destinations among Americans

The American people are famous for traveling. This is probably one reason why the national highways are excellent and well-equipped with 'survival' amenities, such as rest areas, dining stations and restaurants, hotels, gas stations, and information centers.

It is unusual to hear that some residents have not been elsewhere other than their local places of birth. However, in certain localities where economy is not very friendly, it is true. But for the majority, poverty is not a reason for not being able to travel. As long as you have a small budget for gas, food, and a place to stay, you are good.

According to the US Travel Association, the top 10 travel activities for Americans are:

1. visiting friends and relatives
2. sightseeing
3. beaches and waterfronts
4. zoos, aquariums, and science museums
5. national parks
6. state parks
7. cruises
8. theme parks
9. cities
10. mountain areas

Based on surveys conducted by the Association, a great majority of Americans prefer traveling within the mainland United States despite the attractions posed by foreign destinations.

Among the top 10 destinations frequently visited by millions of Americans each year are the following:

1. Times Square, New York
2. Las Vegas, Nevada
3. Historic parks and malls in Washington, DC
4. Faneuil Hall Marketplace, Boston, MA
5. Disneyworld-Florida, Orlando, FL
6. Golden Gate National Recreation Area, San Francisco, CA
7. Disneyland Resort-Anaheim, CA
8. Fisherman's Warf, San Francisco, CA
9. Hollywood Walk of Fame, CA
10. Great Smoky Mountains Park, NC and TN

Now that Summer is approaching, you might want to consider one of these to be part of your list. Always remember to stay safe and hydrated while on the road to a dream destination.
