By the way, Hana Yori Dango (2005) is actually a live-action version of the manga (and later anime) of the same name. It has only nine episodes, but each episode is fun yet touching to watch. If you start watching the first episode, you will get hooked into watching the second and later episodes. The manga ("Japanese comics") was earlier adapted as Meteor Garden (2001), the very popular Taiwanese series that caught Asia by storm. Both HYD and MG feature the super-rich, super-handsome all-guy group F4, consisting of Tsukasa Domyouji (Dao Ming Si in MG), Rui Hanazawa (Hua Zi Lei in MG), Soujirou Nishikado (Xi Men in MG) and Akira Mimasaka (Mei Zuo in MG), as well as the poor-but-very-brave girl Tsukushi Makino (Shan Cai in MG). But the Taiwanese version had a different ending than the manga, because the manga was not yet finished when MG was filmed. I've watched both Hana Yori Dango and Meteor Garden, and I like Hana Yori Dango better. Rumor says that Hana Yori Dango II will be filmed next year (2007).
(And by the way, for those who are familiar with Gokusen, another Japanese live-action series, the actor who played Tsukasa Domyouji is also the actor who played the handsome badass student Shin Sawada, Jun Matsumoto. And the actor who played Rui Hanazawa is also the actor who played the blondie Haruhiko "Uchi" Uchiyama, Shun Oguri.)
The song Planetarium is played whenever Tsukushi Makino is in her sad or heartbroken moments. You can listen to it by clicking the triangle below:

Planetarium is actually played in piano, but I was still able to transcribe the chords. You can definitely use a guitar to play these chords. Here are the "broken" chords used in the song:

Here's another chords transcription of mine for the song Paano, another classic APO song performed by Shamrock. The song's simplicity suited Shamrock's slow-rock style very well, and Mark Tupaz's singing is full of emotion. The band did it absolutely well.
Before I proceed, here are the "broken" chords used in the song:
And now, here's the lyrics with the chords:

At last, the moment Pinoy online shoppers are waiting for is finally here…PayPal in the Philippines!
If you don't believe me, then try signing up for an account now! Philippines is now on PayPal's list!
I haven't yet studied the details, though. There might be some caveats involved. See PayPal's site now!
Just another boring day.
I've never tried this before, but if you want to earn dollars online, then this one is for you.
I chanced upon DotPH's website, and I got curious about this "Earn From dotPH" thing somewhere at the upper-right corner of the page. I clicked that tab, and then on the next page I found out that the company is offering "unlimited income" by "referring PH domains". They call this "the dotPH Affiliate Program", and every person who joins this is an "affiliate".
There's some mechanics on how to earn this "unlimited income". This assumes you have either your own e-mail account (Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail, etc.) or your own website (I think a simple blog counts).
For people with an e-mail account, says DotPH:
[Refer] via e-mail - Search for available [PH] domain names and send e-mail to your prospects. Anytime they register a PH domain (any domain!) using your referrer code, you earn [US] $10.
For people with a website:
[Put] a dotPH banner on your website and turn hits into revenue. Whenever someone registers a PH domain (any domain!) by clicking on your banner, you earn [US] $10.
The "PH domains" they are talking about are the domain names with any of the following extensions: .ph, .com.ph, .net.ph, .org.ph, .mil.ph and .ngo.ph, according to the DotPH FAQ.
I think you can claim your prize after three successful referrals. When that happens, you get US$ 30.
Says DotPH's Service Agreement:
(a) Affiliate shall receive $10.00 for each domain registered using the Affiliate’s referrer code. Affiliates must earn a minimum of US$30 before the commission can be claimed. This applies to cash and check payments. Credit Card payments will have a holding period of 6 months before it can be considered a commission. DotPH will not make commission checks for amounts less than $30.
You can explore this affiliate program further by referring to DotPH's FAQ.
