Why Retire in the Philippines/Marinduque Vacations: Stats from My Googles, Infolinks and Chitika Accounts

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.

Stats from My Googles, Infolinks and Chitika Accounts

Let me start by saying, that I blog not to earn a lot of money through my ads, but because I enjoy writing and knowing that what I write is being appreciated by my readers from 166 countries all over the world. Earning a few dollars a month is just like an icing on the cake.

I have three advertising accounts in my five blogs. The oldest of my account is with Googles Adsense. I had signed with Googles three years ago. As of today, I am happy with my Adsense account which average about $10 per month. This is good enough to buy me a cup of Starbuck Coffee and a half-foot long sandwich from Subway.

My second account is with Infolinks. I signed with Infolinks at beginning of this month. My third and most recent advertising account is with Chitika. I signed with Chitika only last week.

Here's my earning stats for this month of December:

Googles: Month Of December,1-30 2013 $4.26 ( need more clickers)

Infolinkks: Month of December,1-30 2013 $ 1.73

Chitika: From December 18 to 30, 2013: $ 0.10

This earning is barely enough to buy me a cup of Starbuck Coffee. But I feel like a millioner and this meager amount continues to inspire me to blog almost every day when I am here in the US. In the months that I am in the Philippines, I stopped writing and updating my blogs as a welcome respite of my writing activities, although I still keep up with my FaceBook Account.

Again to all my readers that send comments and sometimes click on my ads, thanks a million for your support. Have a Safe New Year. May 2014 bring you prosperity, luck and happiness

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.
