Money from Cafepress

Money from Cafepress

I actually sold shirts off my cafepress store. Score!

What started off as a hobby has now started putting money in my pocket. I love it! Not to mention it was so easy to get started. There's something about being away from home that makes you want to sport island gear.

It really doesn't matter what island it comes from just as long as it Chamorro inspired. I love sporting designs that compel people to ask what does that mean or where is Saipan? It gives me an opportunity to provide free PR for the Marianas.

I just started this bulacheru wear on cafepress and would appreciate some feedback on what people would like to see on shirts. Be gentle I'm sensitive.

Making Money with Google Adsense

Making Money with Google Adsense

Yes I know I haven't been posting and to those who actually take the time to stop by and check things out, I apologize. Things have been hectic out here in the 808 state and I haven't had time to post (excuses, excuses), but I'm back and ready to begin posting (I think).

Anyway a while ago I stopped by Angelo's blog and read his post on making money online with Yahoo ads. Now I have been running Google Adsense on Hafa Adai Saipan and the Chamorro Recipe Blog for the past year or so and have to admit that I am very pleased with the results.

Now I can't say how much I make but I will say that extra income is always a good thing. It's not in the thousands but I am very pleased. I have seen a lot of blogs coming out of Saipan and would recommend that they take advantage of Google Adsense. Hey its extra money folks. Now I'm not an expert but I can recommend Darren Rowes from problogger.net, this man knows his stuff and offers free advice on making money online. Check him out you won't be disappointed.

Its Summer Already?

Is it summer already?

Don Ho dies

Don Ho dies

“Tiny bubbles in the wine...” Hawaii’s beloved entertainer, Don Ho passed away yesterday at the age 76. Now he may have been a Hawaii sensation but I remember my uncles and aunties playing Tiny Bubbles as a kid at the family bbqs and it has remained the background song (well at least in my memories) of all my family get togethers.

Pathfinder the Movie

Pathfinder the Movie

The “Warden” (wife) and I just finished Pathfinder the movie at Ward theaters and wow I just wasted $30 on crap. I gave it a shot, I really did but it was down right awful. This Chamorro should’ve definitely waited till it came out at Blockbuster.

Wahoo's Fish Tacos Hawaii

Wahoo's Fish Tacos Hawaii

Wahoo’s Fish Tacos opened in Hawaii about a year ago and I’ve only started to eat there. Regrets, Regrets. First impressions, healthy, tasty, light yet filling, laid back atmosphere.

I love their Banzai burrito, it beats the hell out of taco bell.

Ono Kine Grindz has a great in depth review of Wahoo’s Fish Taco’s Hawaii, I personally didn’t think the food tasted that bland, but maybe it’s because I already had a few Coronas to start with. Ahh the mighty Corona. CO-RO-NA

Eat at Wahoos.

More on Wahoo Fish Tacos

Three brothers put their love for surf and food together in a combination of Mexican, Brazilian, Asian menu with a Hawaiian North Shore vibe. The brothers Wing, Ed and Mingo started the restaurant business when they were little by working in their parents Chinese restaurant in San Paulo, Brazil.

The family then moved to Orange County where their father opened Shanghai Pine Garden restaurant on Balboa Island.

Why the fish taco? While in California the brothers learned how to surf and were hooked, taking numerous trips to Mexico, where they discovered the fish taco. In 1988, the brothers brought the fish taco to Costa Mesa combining it with Brazilian and some Asian inspired items. Wahoo’s today has spread all over with 30 locations including Hawaii.
