Cloud Crowd: Don’t Waste your time on it

Cloud Crowd is a crowd sourcing site that uses your Facebook account for log-in. It allows job-seekers to make writing, editing and many other kinds of online work. It pays you every day and gives you a good revenue. Each task earns only small but if they are just easy to do and it can really accumulate.

The problem with Cloud Crowd is that the tasks are vaguely instructed. The instructions are sometimes unclear and when you make a mistake, you lose credibility points fast and risk getting into probation or suspended. There is an appeal process but for the amount of work you have to put in, it’s probably a waste of time.

The system is poor because they punish you a lot for making some mistakes which you make because they failed to properly instruct workers. They reject hard work and don't pay you for it because the reviewer is also a worker like you who probably also made a mistake. Or knew something you don't. Most rejections and suspensions are unfair because of the lack of information.

You can make some money by doing menial work but I think it’s just a waste of time.

Gener Hits Luzon, Many Areas Affected

Rains Pour in Laguna

August 6, 2012, a typhoon named Gener hit the Philippines and caused heavy rains in the National capital region and the surrounding provinces like Laguna and Rizal.

Gener is not classified as a storm but it was able to cause flood in many areas of the Metro Manila and Mega Manila. Classes and work were suspended in all Schools and Universities through-out Manila and some parts in the Mega Manila Region.

The floods caused the death tolls to rise above 50. Relief operations were done by various organizations. Including government organizations that took a chance to put their faces in huge tarpaulins to display to people that the relief goods came from them. The president himself even took time to ride on a huge truck, wave to disaster-struck people and have his own picture taken as he gives away relief goods. Its somehow saddening to see politicians take this kinds of disasters as opportunities to be known and "liked" by masses. It's no different to paying people to vote them. Will Philippines ever see a good leader?

Gener Hit's south Luzon, Rain pours in Laguna

Back to topic. Classes are suspended until August 10, 2012 Friday however the University of the Philippines chose to hold classes. The weather is now fine in the Philippines but the aftereffect can still be seen. There are still places that are flooded. Some are still stranded and some are still recovering from the powerful deluge that hit the National capital region.

May our political leaders stop their campaigns to improve their standing to the Filipino people and start helping them without the intent of having anything in return. The Philippines is fortunate enough to have a lot of Non-Government organizations that help unconditionally. And fortunately for the Filipinos, the Filipino spirit is still strong in them. Despite the calamity, those affected can still find the energy to smile and laugh. And it's something that no storm can take away.
