Why Retire in the Philippines/Marinduque Vacations: Statistical Data from My Nine Blogs-After Two Years

Planning to Retire Soon!

If you are planning to retire in the Philippines soon, I suggest you visit several excellent websites on pro's and cons of retiring in the Philippines. However if you want to retire in the provinces, where life is simple, standard of living cheaper, less traffic congestion and pollution, availability of fresh seafood and vegetables compared to the big cities, my island province is the place for you! If this is your first time in my site, welcome. Some of the photos and videos on this site, I do not own. However, I have no intention on the infringement of your copyrights.

Statistical Data from My Nine Blogs-After Two Years

Lady Gaga's Alejandro music video was the most popular and most visited posting in my blogs.

Today,is the second anniversary of my blogging activities(I started in September, 2008). I have nine blogs both personal, business (Beach Resort) and about Marinduque-My Island Paradise. I have also one blog about amazing, funny, weird, sexy and unusual stories and images from the web.

I signed up for Google ADSENSE at the start, not with the hope of making a big income to support me, but just for curiosity. Will google AdSense really give me an income as advertised by a few professional bloggers?

I blog because I love to write and not to earn. But if my blogs make money from Adsense, it is like icing in the cake and of course it will be welcome. Earning money through Adsense is just a dream, right now!

Here are the statistical data from my nine blogs after two years:

Title of Blog Page Impressions Income($)

1. Marinduque Awaits You 13,813 8.40
2. Marinduque My Island Paradise 7,189 7.15
3. Planning to Visit Marinduque 2,436 4.03
4. Life in US and the Philippines 5,198 3.55
5. Chateau Du Mer Beach Resort 4,269 3.23
6. Why Retire to the Philippines 2,744 2.28
7. The Intellectual Migrant 6,342 1.02
8. Amazing, Unusual and Sexy Images 4,327 0.79
9. I Left My Heart in Marinduque 2,257 0.51

The total earnings from Adsense in the last two years is $30.96

The total page impressions is about 46,000.
On June this year, Google AdSense was disabled from my blog # 8. I do not know the reason why. But I suspect the robot has detected a bad word in one of the articles in the site. I hope Googles should have at least warned me before it disable AdSense in that site.

The top ten articles based on the Number of Visits (Page Views)are as follows:
I have written more than 1000 articles in the nine blogs for the last 2 years. I have also written three news article for Huliq.com and three for Live in the Philippines internet magazine.

Title of Article,(date posted), Page Views ( Subject )
1. Time for Lady Gaga's Alejandro(6/11/10) 718 ( music video)
2. Chapter 4: My College Years ( 5/09/09) 246 ( The Oblation)
3. PI Bench Underwear Fashion Show( 7/03/10) 162 ( Underwear Fashions)
4. Fruit Trees in the Gardens of CDM( 6/27/10) 148 ( fruit trees and gardens)
5. I Love Sunsets! How About You?( 9/06/09) 135 ( photography)
6. Cloyne Court, Episode 10 (9/02/09) 120 ( coed bathrooms UC Berkeley)

9. The Vagina and Penis Trees( 10/11/09) 100 ( pictorials)
10. Hundred Island National Park (9/10/09) 100 ( travel)

The above data tells me that Lady Gaga is one lady that attracts blog readers all over the world. The above video has already been viewed by 13 million viewers in You Tube.

Fruit Trees in the Gardens of Chateau Du Mer

The Mango Tree-I have three varieties in my Garden-The Indian, Guimaras and Carabao Mangoes My caretaker/gardener informed me last month that due to the El Nino drought in Marinduque, two of my Durian trees died in spite of his vigilant watering. One of the tree was attacked by insects that looks like a big fly but yellowish in color that sucks the sap of the seedling. The roots of the other tree was attacked by ants residing in the soil. However, my other fruit trees, the rambutans( 2), the lanzones(2) and the jack fruits ( 2) trees are doing well. The above eight fruit trees were given to me by Retired General Recaredo Sarmiento of Boac and Lucena., about three years ago. General Sarmiento is the “atid” of my wife. “Atid” is the colloquial term for brother. Evidently, Macrine's father, the late Bernardo Jambalos was the Godfather of General Sarmiento during his baptism and comfirmation. Gen Sarmiento's hobby is orchard planting, reforestation and farming. The other fruit trees in my garden are guayabanos, cashew, avocados, starapples, duhats, ates, guavas, mangoes( 3 varieties) and papayas as well as several varieties of bananas . Of the above fruit trees, my favorite is the guayabanos, also known as soursop tree known for its anti-tumor and anti-cancer properties . The following are photos of the fruit trees. The Durian photo is from the web. Note that it almost look like a jack fruit tree, except that the leaves are bigger and shiny. My desire is to have a passion fruit tree in the near future. You are welcome to visit my orchard and flower gardens any time, if perchance you are in the vicinity of The Chateau Du Mer Beach Resort and Conference Center.
