Planning An Exciting Holiday!

My sister has been telling me to get a holiday; I deserve it, she says. And she said that this time, I must coincide my trip with the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. That’s because her company is planning a trip for the staff to the 2009 show. My sister lives in Tennessee so Houston is just a few hours’ drive away.

The last time I was in the United States, I missed the show because we did not plan well and did not thought of buying our RodeoHouston tickets in advance. I was told that Rodeo Houston tickets sell like hot cakes and there are people who buy them as soon as they are open for sale so that they could get the best seats. No wonder!

Although the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is still more than 200 days away, those who are going would have bought their tickets already. Yes, it’s an absolutely crazy event where more than a million people would attend. The highlights would be the rodeo shows and concerts. I hope that I manage to make my way there with my sister and her colleagues. That would be awesome!

The line up for Houston Rodeo 2009 concerts is not yet announced but I don’t care, I will attend no matter who will be playing, just for the experience.

How Blogs Have Evolved

Blogs used to be a platform for people to share their daily life with friends and family or a platform for people to share information on a particular subject. Now, there are people who set up blogs, they are so easy to set up and free, particularly to market a single affiliate program.

Well, obviously, these are NOT blogs, yet there are people using the free blog platforms to do so. Like I said, they are free and could be launched in a minute.

I think that if people have the sole intention of promoting an affiliate programme exclusively they should just set up a real one page website instead of using and abusing free blog networks. What do you think?

Spreading The Word On Innovative Stem Cell Research & Therapies

A friend asked me why I wrote about menstrual fluid on my blog. I believe that knowledge must be shared, especially knowledge pertaining to health issues. The innovation of harvesting, processing and storing of stem cells from menstrual fluid is not a woman’s issue but a family issue.

After reading an article on CNNmoney.com on possible cures to serious diseases from stem cells from menstrual fluid, I realize that while the woman herself has her health secured and her stem cells have a high level of matching those of her parents, siblings and children, the husband would need to depend on stem cells from his sister. Therefore, it is also the men’s responsibility to educate his female relatives on the innovation of safe and non-invasive way of collecting menstrual blood and harvesting stem cells from there.

While there are many times that we wish we could do more for the people we love, I think that a gift of a second shot at life from stem cell therapies is the most precious gift that a woman could give. Read C’elle Client Testimonial for more information on C’elle’s stem cell technologies.

Google Retires AdSense Referrals

Did you read the notice that Google AdSense is going to retire their referral program? I think that all publishers were sent an email notification, if I a not mistaken, so do check that email account that you have on record.

I don’t know if it is a good or bad thing to terminate a referral program. I took down my referral buttons from my sites a long time ago. I have yet to check all my sites, though, so maybe some are still live. LOL

Anyway, I think that almost every webmaster is a publisher of AdSense already. Those who are not either do not know the potential in AdSense, do not want to implement AdSense on their websites or have been banned by AdSense already, unfortunately.

So if you still have AdSense referral buttons on your site, take them down, you will not get anything out of it and will only be wasting virtual real estate.

Free Advertising For Your Sites

I may have twenty blogs, some are not as visited as others. Frankly, starting blogs is easy. The difficult part is in getting a consistent stream of traffic to the blogs.

This morning, I learned of a new, innovative, free advertising system which combines rotating banner and text advertising. Although advertising is free, you would still need to purchase your spot with “credit”.

To receive free credits, you need webmaster association generated from your website and get as many referrals as possible. You even earn credits from THEIR referrals for life too! I think that’s awesome. On top of that, you will get full features of tracking your advertising campaigns just like what you will get in a premium advertising site!

I don’t know about you but I am going to try this. I need the extra eyeballs!

iPhone 3G Coming On 11th July, 2008. Are You Ready?

Is your wallet ready? LOL

The day that many of us iPhone users, and iPhone watchers are waiting for is coming soon. 11th July, 2008 is the day that the Apple iPhone 3G will be ready to ship.

I can imagine people in the United States and a host of other countries lucky enough to be releasing the iPhone 3G on 11th July, 2008, as well, will be lining up outside the telcos or Apple Stores in their respective countries. It will be an exciting day just like when the Apple iPhone 2G was launched a year ago.

It is just too bad that Malaysia will not be one of the first countries to launch the Apple iPhone 3G. What losers. Bleh… if we are also launching it, I guess I will be in KL to queue up for my new iPhone 3G as well.

The thing that I sorely want my iPhone to have is 3G capability. The other stuff, I don’t really mind. So, I guess that will have to wait till the end of the year when it is expected to arrive in Malaysia legally.

Divide The Ride On CBS Evening News

I have written quite a number of times on carpooling and their benefits. However, none has been that famous to be featured in the evening news, and on CBS Evening News with Katie “the legs” Couric, too!

Introducing Divide The Ride, if you have not known about it yet. This is a free carpool system where you can check out at http://www.dividetheride.com, or participate in, where families carpool and divide the ride for their children’s school or other activities. If you have school going children, I am sure you understand the duty of ferrying them to one activity or another.

Well, there’s no longer the need to do this alone if you divide the ride with a neighbor or someone in the community who also has children who are in the same activities.

The difference between Divide The Ride and other carpooling programs that you may have come across is that Divide The Ride will only match you with people that you already know. So it is totally safe to participate in it.
