Will you work full time for $350 a month or do jobs for several webmasters?
Can you do original copywriting? Stories?

As a side note i would like to share with you a funny story that i came across with
one of our local papers here.
WHO SAID THAT? : We've heard many stories about Filipios and other Asian children excelling
in class in America. Many of these kids, some of them newly emigrated to the US, were just
ordinary students back int Philippines.
With that pat on the back, we share this story e-mailed to us yesterday by reader Bobby
Tordesillas:
It was the first day of school in Washington, DC, and a new student name Dagohoy, the son of
a Filipino immigrant, entered the fourth grade.
The teacher began, "Let's review some American history, class. Who said 'Give me liberty of
give me death'?" She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Dagohoy's who had his hand up,
"Patrick Henry, 1775," he replied. "Very good," said the teacher.
"Who said 'Goverment of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from
the earth'?"
Again, no response except from Dagohoy: "Abraham Lincoln, Gettysburg, 1863," he said.
The teacher snaps at the class, "Class, you should be ashamed, Dagohoy who is new to our
country knows more about our history than you do."
She hears a loud whisper from the back: "Screw the Filipinos". "Whos said that?" she
demanded.
Dagohoy put his hand up. "General John Pershing, Manila 1899."
At that point, Jack, another student says, "i'm going to puke."
The teacher glares and asks, "All right! Now who said that?"
Again Dagohoy answers, "George Bush Sr. to the Japanese Prime Minister during the state
dinner, Tokyo, 1991."
Now Furious, another student yells, "Oh yeah? suck this!!"
Dagohoy jumps out of his chair waving his hand and shouts to the teacher at the top of his
voice, "Bill Clinton to Monica Lewinsky, the Oval Office, 1997!!"
Someone shouts, "You little shit if you say anything else, I'll kill you".
Dagohoy yells, "Congressman Gary Condit to Chandra Levy, Washington, DC, 2001!"
The teacher faints.
"I'm outa here!" mutters one student as he sidles to the door.
"President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, Baguio City, December 30, 2002!!" Dagohoy responds.
As the class gathers around the teacher on the floor, someone says, "Oh shit, now
we're really in big trouble!"
"Saddam Hussein, on the Iraq invasion, Baghdad, May 2003!" Dagohoy bellowed.
"Now i really have to run," Jack mutters, heading for the exit.
"Gloria Macapagal Arroyo again, Pamganga, October 4, 2003!!!" Dagohoy shouts triumphantly,
jumping with glee.
