About Pinay Reviewer

Thank you for visiting Pinay Reviewer.

Updated as of November 2011.

I am Michelle, better known as Mhel and blankPixels online. I own the following blogs:

• Just Another Pixel – My semi-personal blog where I write about different topics and blog about my life experiences and adventures. I also post news-worthy topics here.
• Certified Foodies – A food blog I share with my brother Ken of Ken Avenue. We post our foodie adventures and discoveries here. We also share our own recipes. All reviews related to food will be posted on this blog.
• Pinay Online Money Maker – My blog about how I make money online. Here, I write guides/articles to help those who haven’t discovered the endless possibilities of earning money online or working from home. I also post proofs of withdrawals or payments from my trusted online money-making programs.
• The Geek Side of blankPixels – As the name implies, this is my somewhat tech blog where I share my own tips or tutorials on various geeky topics and where I’ll be posting my portfolio as a web and graphics designer. This blog will also house my photoblog soon.
• iCafe Blog – I write about my crazy  experiences as an internet cafe owner. Mostly complaints or rants about difficult customers I encounter. Majority of the posts here will be in Taglish (mixed Tagalog and English) as the blog was meant for Pinoy internet cafe owners to read. I  also share tips and techniques here to help fellow or future icafe owners.

blankPixels as a Reviewer

Now, you may be wondering what qualifies me as a trustworthy or reliable reviewer. Well, if you’ve read my personal blog, you’ll know that I worked as a Quality Specialist and a Team Leader in 3 multi-national call centers here (ePLDT, APAC and Teletech). So, I have experience giving and receiving feedback.

With my call center experience, I also became a demanding customer. No, not the difficult kind. More like I know my rights as a customer and I know my limits, too. If I’m not satisfied with your product or service, you will definitely hear about it. And, of course, to balance it out, I’m a very good customer (read: tipper) when I’m happy and satisfied.

Don’t get me wrong, I am very easy to please. I can sometimes tolerate a low quality product because of excellent customer service. But, this won’t stop me from criticizing something because I, of course, want to get my money’s worth.

I love writing reviews because I also love reading others’ opinions. So, feel free to leave your violent reactions or what-nots. Would love to hear from other customers, too.

blankPixels as a Giveaway / Promo Addict

I love, love, love joining different online contests and giveaways! I mean, c’mon! Who doesn’t love freebies, right?

Everyday, one of the first things I do is check different websites/blogs, Twitter and Facebook for the latest giveaways, promos and freebies that I can take advantage of.

I have joined a lot of contests and giveaways already. I lost most of them, but, I continue to join new promos because it’s a lot of fun! I am continuously joining online contests open locally and internationally.

I have posted about the prizes I’ve already received in joining giveaways online. Here’s the post over at my personal blog just so you can see that these online giveawas are legit: Prizes I’ve Won Online (So Far)

So, I’ve decided to share with everyone all the giveaways and contests out there that Pinoys like me can join. Most of them are those that interest me or I’ve joined personally, or those that I know will be really popular. To receive updates, you can subscribe to my blog through email or follow me on Twitter, "Like" my Facebook fan page for Pinay Reviewer, follow me on Google Friend Connect  or simply bookmark this blog.

That’s basically all the things you need to know about me and this blog.  For anything else, you can contact me anytime.
