Daily Happy Thoughts

Recently, I signed up for SocialSpark, which was launched by Izea to create yet another way for advertisers and bloggers to connect and do business. Apart from being an opportunity to make money through blogging, SocialSpark is also about community.

Once you are signed up, you can be free to interact with fellow bloggers and give them props or drops whenever you feel like doing so. You can also make friends with other bloggers. So you see, it isn’t at all pure business. What’s more, they are pretty serious about their code of ethics which is:

• 100% Audit-able In-Post Disclosure

Each sponsored post opportunity within the SocialSpark marketplace provides the blogger a small snippet of code for a Disclosure Badge. The Disclosure Badge must be placed at the end of each post without exception.

• 100% Transparency

Every participant in SocialSpark is made viewable to the public. The public can also see which bloggers are working with which advertisers on which opportunities. This is designed to keep the community honest and open about the transactions that occur.

• 100% Real Opinions

Subject to the specific agreement you form with an advertiser, you are free to write or say whatever you want. SocialSpark itself has no restrictions on how you express your genuine thoughts on an advertiser’s product or service. It’s up to you to pick the Opportunities that best suit you and your blog.

• 100% Search Engine Friendly

Each sponsored link in SocialSpark automatically carries the “no-follow” attribute so as not to affect search engine rankings. This is designed to protect bloggers and advertisers from search engine penalties based on paid linking.

Joining up at SocialSpark is free and easy. You just need to have a blog and a PayPal account, so that they have somewhere to send your money to. So if you have a blog, and are looking to make extra cash, why don’t you check out their site and sign up now.

Buzz is going around in the cosmetic surgery community of the Philippines after an American named Louem Martinez aka. Louem Boschuk filed a criminal complaint against popular cosmetic surgeons in the country.

The complainant filed this complaint asking for PhP 26 million against Doctors Manny V. Calayan and Pie Calayan due to a penile enlargement operation gone wrong. This operation was said to have cost around PhP 145,000 (roughly $3,450). Martinez claimed that after the operation his penis became “badly deformed, sagged and bumped,” and that he was feeling pain. Despite assurances by both doctors that the pain will go away, still the pain persisted and the appearance of his penis did not change.

Hearing of this news, I just think that the complainant would have been better off researching first on the other alternative ways to get a penile enlargement. For one, there are products such as maxoderm.

On the internet, he could have easily researched on maxoderm review to be more informed as to what the best course of action would be. If he had, he might have discovered that there are already maxoderm pills, which is a far cry from the physical risk he undertook on the surgical procedure that went wrong.

If you ask me, I think it can be likened to jumping without looking. Too bad it didn’t work out for Mr. Martinez as planned.
