Swamped By Casino Sites

Leave a comment

A friend told me that at a marketplace where she is a member of, the whole site has been swamped by casino sites. She said that she could hardly get any decent jobs because she does not want to write about casinos as her father was a gambler who wrecked his life and his family’s.

Well, I have nothing against casino sites but when they have overwhelmed the other members of the community then that is bad for business.

If I remember correctly, this place used to be swamped by plastic surgery sites and I am not saying they are no good either but then having the site full of the same thing will drive members away. I know that many of my friends don’t even bother to log in anymore.

Rent A Garage For Your Car

Leave a comment

My friend, Sitt, who works in London and rides a bicycle, told me that owning a car is very expensive in London. My cousin, Jasmine, tells me the same too. According to them, most of Londoners live in homes that do not have a driveway, thus, they would have to spend extra to rent space to park their cars! Space in a metropolitan city in London is really scarce and expensive. Somehow, I have taken for granted the space I have to park more than ten cars in my compound.

Sitt tells me that for people who are lucky enough to own a car in Britain, most of them would rent a garage for parking. This is cheaper than renting space from a storage company or parking at a public parking lot with a season ticket.

Also, renting a garage, which you can see one of the many being offered by Park Let which has a website at http://www.parklet.co.uk, is not only more economical but also more secure. No longer does the owner have to worry about vandalism, theft, pranks and other unfortunate incidents if the vehicle is exposed.

A friend of mine, who parked his car outside his home every night, had his car stolen right under his nose while he was asleep in the middle of the night. If he had rented a garage, he would not have to go through this ordeal.

Which Billet Grille?

Leave a comment

Last evening, I was at a cafe with my friend and he asked me to look at a website that sells car accessories. I have no interest in cars only because I don’t own one yet but I obliged him because I did not want to offend him. He is the kind of guy who treats his truck even better than treating his girlfriend.

My friend says that he wants to change the billet grille of his truck and that this company carries the most comprehensive selection of billet grilles at reasonable prices.

Well, I don’t know what makes a good billet grille but I did tell him not to get those that look like fly traps. Those are ugly!! Luckily, Buy Auto Truck Accessories has so many more billet grilles and grille inserts to choose from, from major brand names at very attractive prices.

Subscribing To Own Feed

Leave a comment

I wonder how many people actually subscribe to their own RSS feeds. Well, I do. A couple of months ago, my friend said that she is going to set up a hundred email accounts and use these email addresses to subscribe to all her feed to boost up her feed subscription count. Oh my god…I think she did not see that through!

Well, the reason that I subscribe to my own feed is because I will read my own blogs from my feed reader and then find all sorts of typos and spelling errors and even grammatical errors.

It is weird that no matter how many times I spell check or check my grammar with MS Word and looking for the wiggly green line, I will miss them all and only discover them when I read my feed. Gah…. that refelcts badly on myself. *sob*

Visit Singapore

Leave a comment

Earlier this year, my friend suggested that we visit Singapore. OMG, it’s already mid December and we have not had the chance to go. Singapore is just south of Peninsular Malaysia and I am shame to admit that I have only been there ONCE but it was a memorable experience. That was why my friend suggested a trip to Singapore as he said that I need to get around more. Don’t I know that?

Luckily, Singapore is just a couple of away by plane from Kuala Lumpur or about six hours by bus from Ipoh. This is considered near already! I told my friend to clear his weekend schedule so that we could hop over. Meanwhile, I checked on the internet for places of interest and things to do and see in Singapore. It has been such a long time that the city has changed and developed tremendously.

My friend told me to check the USA Hotel Guide where I would be able to get comprehensive information on the island on one website without going all over the interent for a little information here and there.

I remember staying at the Four Seasons Hotel Singapore when I was there but this time, my friend will be the one arranging our accommodation. With Christmas just round the corner, I am sure that he would not have a pleasant time getting affordable accommodation for us.

Blogging

Mental Diarrhea

Leave a comment

I learnt that a couple of blogger friends are going on a blog marathon this couple of days. Their target is forty to fifty posts PER DAY! Of course, they are not going to flood ONE blog since they run multiple blogs. However, I just think that is extremely crazy of them!!

Luckily I did not join them on this blog marathon. I know my limits and am not ready to test it. God, I have a life to lead and real world work to attend to, like the rest of the world.

These two ladies are homemakers and they sometimes go on a blog marathon like this but I feel that they may have to neglect their children and family for a couple of days. *shiver*

Orlando, Florida, Vacation Rentals

Leave a comment

Earlier today, a friend told me that he has plans to visit Florida during the holidays. In fact, I even blogged about it already. However, I forgot to mention that he has found a website where he could rent an Orlando vacation home at a good rate. He said that he is sick and tired of putting up at hotels and all those nosy and noisy tourists. He said that one hotel is like another and he has had enough of that in the course of traveling for work.

For people who would want somewhere special to spend their vacation, vacation rentals are a good alternative. In fact, Vacation Rentals is the premier online listing of vacation rentals in Orlando, Florida and many other cities and popular holiday destinations as well.

My friend says that this is where he is browsing through as well. I hope he gets what he wants at an attractive price that he cannot resist!
