Chris Evans is Captain America (but isn't he...?)

Marvel has made it official: Chris Evans will portray Captain America in its live action movie version. Mr. Evans now plays two characters in the Marvel world, the first being Johnny Storm, a.k.a. Human Torch, in The Fantastic Four.

Here is where I wonder: isn't there any other blonde guy fit to be Steve Rogers? If they were going to do a live action of Civil War, who will he portray?

And here's another interesting bit: he's also doing another role in the rival universe -- as Jensen in the DC Vertigo graphic novel The Losers. Check out the movie poster wholly based on the original comic cover:

The only thing different is where Zoe Saldana is standing. But it still looks cool.

Which reminds me, I have to start reading Kick Ass, too...

LinkReferral: Helping you get more traffic for your site

I'm one of those who earn passive income from blogging. In fact, I've got two blogs from which I am earning a few cents. Yes, just a few cents for now. And in order to make those cents to dollars, I am finding ways to increase traffic to my sites.

Some of the things I'm doing are spreading my links to other sites, responding to posts of other bloggers, and also submitting to directories. But there's also one way to get more people to visit your site: through LinkReferral.



I learned about this from the blogs I've been reading in the past. I wanted to increase traffic to my site, so I said that there was no harm in trying. It's free anyway.

After signing up, I learned that there's more to registering my blogs in LinkReferral. There are things I should also do to increase the ranking credit of my site. Like the usual bloghopping I do, I learned I should give some of the sites in the program a visit. It also helps to increase ranking if I review some of the sites there. There are loads of sites with different topics, so I'm not running out of blogs and sites to explore.

You can also earn from LinkReferral if you upgrade to their paid subscription. All you need to do is refer people to the program. So aside from increasing your ranking and getting more and more visitors, you can earn from site owners who join under you. I still don't have the money to upgrade to a paid subscription... maybe next time. Hehehe!

LinkReferral brings a lot of benefits to your site. If you need to increase your traffic, LinkReferral is one of the musts for your blog or website. Join today!

Discovering Chillz Cookies and Cream

Before I go into the main topic, I'd just want to share my surprise that this blog now has a PageRank of 2 from 1. I had to change the PR Checker widget at the sidebar because it doesn't automatically update.

My other blogs, Inspired Weddings and Hits and Mrs. remain at PR2. But it's not really a big concern for me.

Anyways, one can feel it's really summer here in Manila. Everyday, I have to endure walking a couple hundred meters from the main highway where I get off to my place of work. And everyday, I'd always feel very exhausted and wanting for something to chill me up.

Mini Stop, a 24-hour convenience store that sprouts anywhere like a mushroom, is just beside the office building -- a pretty convenient place to find inexpensive coolers. Today, instead of getting the usual coffee-flavored Chillz, I got their latest variant, cookies and cream:

Forgive my webcam. It ain't that high-tech. Either that or it's the lack of light that made it look orange-y.

Anyways, it's priced the same as any Chillz variant. Thing is, instead of just pouring it into the cup and sip it with a straw, there's an added procedure before you can enjoy the Chillz cookies and cream: put the ground cookies first, then pour and sip. Yes, the cookie crumbs come in a separate plastic and it's up to you how you want to mix it. I'd advise to pour 1/3 of the "cream" first before sprinkling half of the cookies in it, then pour another part of "cream" then cookies then "cream." That way the cookies won't settle at the bottom part of the cup like the one in the photo.

As for the taste, it's a bit too sweet for me. Maybe I'm just used to the coffee Chillz. But it's worth a try. If you want to taste something different from Mini Stop, I'd suggest grabbing the cookies and cream Chillz. It's a pretty satisfying cooler for this hot, hot season.
