Which Photo Storage/Sharing Service?

I am sure by now everyone knows that Yahoo! Photos will be shut this autumn. What to do now but to move my photos? There are a few hundred photos stored in my albums. Yahoo! and Photobucket are the only services that I am using but Yahoo has the bulk of my photo while Photobucket is more like for hot linking of images.

Truth be told, I don’t have preference one over the other. Both offer an “OK” service only, in my opinion.

So now that I have to move my photos somewhere, where is a good place? I have Flickr but I registered that account just so that I could view my friends’ photos!

I am thinking of Google’s Picasa but that is more like a sharing service. My usage is more towards storage first and then sharing a handful of photos now and then. I would love to house all my photos under one site. If possible, I would also want to move my Photobucket photos to the same storage and sharing site. Well… let me remember where I have linked my photos to!

Aihhh headache, hate decisions! Where to keep my photos now? I don’t want a second shut down :-(

Understanding Plastic Surgery

Recently, there is a lot of talk about Plastic surgery in Malaysia after a lady became a victim of a quack doctor. It is a very pitiful case because she only did it because of low self-esteem. I feel that if one wants to get a plastic surgery, she has to be well-informed about the task, advantages, disadvantages and consequences.

One way to get the information is through the internet and to participate in a Plastic surgery forum where one could get the support, patient experience of any kind of plastic surgery like Breast reduction or Liposuction.

Personally, I have no guts to go under the knife. The most I will ever do to beautify myself is to go for a Laser hair removal session.

CosmeticsMiracles.com is a great plastic surgery resource site. I managed to get a lot of useful information from the site. Although I have no plans to get any surgery myself, I do have lots of friends who are keen to get a nip here and a tuck there. I believe that I could help to spread the knowledge among my friends who are interested in plastic surgery but may not have easy internet access. All in all, an easy to read and understand website written in layman language.

Will BloggerW.A.V.E Pay?

I have read some pretty bad things about this company from bloggers who blog for them. I don’t know how true they are so I am not going to repeat. I don’t even remember how long I have published their posts but definitely more than a month now.

Sometime back, I received a mass mailing from them saying that while most of us did a great job, we need to add their image to our posts. I don’t see any image in their opportunity though. So I wrote in to ask which image they mean but what I got instead was a membership verification link. I mean, “Duh!”

Some people have already been paid this week (let’s pray there’s no charge back) but I still have no news about my payment. I only wrote three posts for them because I was not sure if we could write the same opportunity on different blogs. Some of my blogger friends did it and their posts were approved although it is stated that each blogger can only accept an opportunity once.

Anyway, I am impatiently, silently waiting for my payment. It’s not much but it’s still money owed, you know what I mean?

Update: Great news! BloggerW.A.V.E did send my payment a couple of hours after I have written this post.

Planning A Trip To Topsail Island?

I came across a website of a Realtor that specializes in North Carolina’s Surf City and Topsail Island rentals and also the surrounding coastal areas.

These places are very popular vacation destinations so Sand Dollar Real Estate is the specialist when it comes to residential and vacation rentals of these areas.

Did you know that Topsail Island is a barrier island about situated north of Wilmington and is the perfect family getaway? Every year, thousands of families come to Top Sail for an island vacation and when they do, they look for companies like Sand Dollar Real Estate for vacation rentals.

The website of Sand Dollar Real Estate is a breeze to surf through. I could easily search for my desired property by selecting various options like location, budget and the number of beds and baths.

I think anyone who plans to go to Surf City or Topsail Island should give this site a visit and even register for an account. It is free, anyway!

My List – The Malaysian Connection

Midnight is the last hour for submission to Daryl’s My List. Yup, it’s yet another list that I have participated in. Check out my TABS… so many lists, so many linky love. All for mutual benefit, you know?

I myself just participated in it yesterday and let me tell you, my Technorati Authority jumped FIFTEEN *gasp* notches overnight Whhheeeeeeeeee not that it makes much difference in the grand scale of things but it does feel good to see the number rising. I feel LOVED!!

To be frank, I knew about Daryl’s list when it was first initiated but I did not participate. I thought I would check it out “later” when I have the leisure to read through the long instructions but my, how time flies. If not for Daryl’s reminder, I would have forgotten about it totally and missed the dateline. So I managed to submit my blogs on the second last day and I am more than glad to be part of the Malaysian blogroll.

If you are a Malaysian blogger or if you are a foreigner who blogs about Malaysia and her people, do participate. To read the rules, please visit Daryl’s post. Publish My List on your blog and submit your blog URL to Daryl and he will do the necessary.

Be quick!

Source For Compatible Ink

When I bought my printer last month, I was so happy because I paid for it with my hard earned money. Unfortunately, everyone told me how dumb I am for buying such a cheap printer that uses expensive ink!

Well, what could I do now? I already started to use it and after 1.5 months, I am in need of new ink! Trust me when I say Dura-Brite is ultra expensive even if they never smudge!

A friend told me to get compatible ink online. He said that websites like Inkers.biz are great choices because their generic ink is reliable and they have a 30-day money back policy, no questions asked. Moreover, all toners and ink cartridges have a year of warranty against defect. Boy, is that good news. At least we are assured that our money will not go down the drain.

What I am afraid of buying online though, is the shipping charges and delay in delivery but it looks like Inkers.biz have already gotten that out of the way with free ground shipping plus the shortest possible delivery time of 2 – 3 days. I am sold!

Booking Cheap Holidays Online

Lawrence said that once he has settled down in Spain he would welcome me when I take my Spain holidays Spain is a beautiful country I have been told. I used to have a Spanish pen-pal but we have already lost touch.

Lawrence has already done research for me on where to book cheap holidays online. He said that even if I book my holiday package at the last minute, I would still be able to get them cheap thanks to last minute deals from Holiday Hypermarket.

I am only afraid of the expensive air ticket but apparently there are cheap flights. Also, Lawrence said that booking all-inclusive holiday packages will save me a tidy sum a well.

I browsed through Holiday Hypermarket and true enough there are literally millions of discounted holiday packages available for the shrewd traveller. The prices are so tempting and it is so convenient to book a package online that I fell like just packing my bags and leaving. I do need a break!
