I was surfing the internet for a good credit card site, a site that lists the majority of the credit cards that are available on the market when I stumbled upon a credit card search engine. This is actually not a search engine as we know it but a site where we can compare the similar brands of credit cards all in one page.

If I did not check this site, I would not know that there are so many types of cards that cater to different groups of people and I realize that there is no good or bad card but only cards that suit our lifestyle the most.

I saw some Sports Credit Cards that I think are pretty neat. You get reward points that you can redeem for official merchandise of your favourite teams. Isn’t that awesome? I can think of a couple of my sports freak fans who would love to get their grubby hands on these!

Just now, as I was surfing the internet, I came across the website of a Los Angeles plastic surgeon. I am not really surprised that in America, doctors and dentists are allowed to set u websites, but it is not the same here in Malaysia. Professional people are not allowed to “advertise” their services.

I am not sure if you have heard of this plastic surgeon before but he is very famous among the Hollywood celebrity set. You know, word of mouth marketing is so powerful that once he does a good job on a star, she (or maybe he), would tell friends and family about what a great experience he received in the hands of so-and-so surgeon.

And then these stars, they get paid so much it is their JOB to look good 24/7 and most of them are actually just ordinary people like you and I and surely they need a little surgical intervention! That’s why almost every Hollywood star has gone through a celebrity plastic surgery before.

Not too long ago, I read that Hollywood stars on the average earn a obscene amount of money A MINUTE! I don’t know how we can let that happen but I think we need to look at beautiful people to assure ourselves that the world is all fine and rosy!

One of the most sought after plastic surgery procedure, according to this website is the Los Angeles Breast Augmentation. I can understand why but it is a shame that a woman could only feel beautiful because of the size of her breasts! I don’t know what made their mindset such. Perhaps it is all the doing of Hollywood itself, of it could be because men are sending such signals!

But then, I surely understand why some people would need to look good to feel good. I too would want to do something like this if it is totally PAIN-FREE!

One thing that puts me off international travel, apart from the long hours on the plane, is the expensive plan ticket! To me, the two things that jack up our holiday expenditure are flight tickets and accommodation. If I could keep these two at the lowest, I would be most happy indeed.

If you remember, my friend Lawrence who is working in Spain told me that I have not clubbed before if you have not clubbed in Ibiza. He said that I should go and visit him and then we could take cheap flights to Ibiza together.

That is such an awesome idea that I went to Holiday Hypermart to see if there are any cheap flights out. From the website, it looks like October is a better time to travel to Ibiza because the rates are cheaper. And I like cheap!

I was also surprised to learn that Ibiza has more to offer than a vibrant club scene. There’s the beach, of course, the cuisine, Hippy Market, an old museum and many more attractions! With so much to do and see in Ibiza, I definitely would welcome the cheapest flight there so that I would have more spending money!

A few days ago, I read this article from Reuters with the headlines “Want close friends? Best log off the Internet“. According to a British researcher, virtual friends do not equal real friends. Hahaha I found it so funny because why would we need a researcher to let us know?

This is the reason I do not understand why people keep adding other members to their social networking profile even if they do not know them. Perhaps these people need to boost their ego that they have so many friends, hence they are very popular. When I get these requests, I turn them down unless I know the person beforehand. Otherwise, I turn them down because I see no reason why I need to beef up my list of “friends”.

For people who have a huge group of friends in their profile, I bet that they don’t even remember why a person was added in the first place, let alone keep in touch with 99% of them.

This is also why I do not have a Facebook profile.

I was thinking of printing postcards for promotional purposes. I have a very good printer myself and thought that since I don’t use that so often this is a chance to use it because I was told that the printer head will clog if I do not use it for a long time and it would be very costly to replace.

However, my friend says that I must be crazy. You see, my printer uses DuraBrite ink and that is the most costly printer ink at the moment. He said that I should leave postcard printing to the professionals and leave my printer for home use.

According to him, it is only $150 to print a thousand pieces 4.25 X 5.5 cards and a thousand pieces of the largest cards at 6 X 9 would only cost me $250. Can I get this price printing them myself? Definitely no. Besides, since I never printed postcards before, I would only be wasting ink AND paper when I could just pass this task to the pros and receive my full color front and back postcards with high gloss UV lamination, which comes free, if I would just request for it.

I thought I would make a comparison with other online printers but my friend says that this is already a good deal so why waste time?

I found this website just now when I was surfing, called Tiny Surfer. This is a like a classifieds site where vacation rental owners could list their property for offer to holiday makers. What makes Tiny Surfer special is that they are offering Free vacation rental listings where other similar sites are charging at least $200. Moreover, members on Tiny Surfer are also able to post photos as they like and describe their property in as long a description as they wish. In short, this is just like Craigslist but with an overall much improved user interface!

For example, checking out the page of Telluride vacation rental, you can see large thumbnails, name or the property and a short description.

My friends have plans to go to Hawaii for a honeymoon next month and I know that they would appreciate knowing about Tiny Surfer. The have been telling me that they are going to take a vacation rental because they have heard that it is a very popular now as opposed to putting up at a hotel. Luckily trom Tiny Surfer, they could also book their vacation rental directly and without hassle!

Recently, there have been complaints that international bloggers do not have a good grasp of the English language. Surely our English is not the same as the Americans simply because of the fact that their English is American while ours is British.

But let’s not argue over whose English is better. There’s this website called Answering English that offers English courses that everyone could enroll in whether we are looking to improve on our English due to business, studies or just for our self-esteem.

Americans are probably not keen to learn English UK style but it is an added advantage to study the difference in American and British English.

From the website, it is said that all courses are taught in London. I wonder if they will be giving courses online in the near future.
