ads via text messaging??

Filed under: Web/Tech — cutieissa24 at 1:24 pm on Friday, January 18, 2008

Actually I’ve been receiving advertisements via my phone for years now. But the text ads are just sent by Globe (my cellular carrier) about their latest services and promos. How would you feel if you’ll receive text ads from a new restaurant or from a shop with storewide sale? Me? I’d love it! Imagine getting the first dibs on discounts and such, super duper great! =)

ready for Valentines Day??

Filed under: Free Stuff, Love and Dating, Online Finds! — cutieissa24 at 9:36 am on Friday, January 18, 2008

Less than a month to go and it’s another red-letter holiday! Well, not really an official holiday but with all the pomp and pageantry stores do during Valentines Day, you’d think we’re celebrating some momentous event. Hehe! Anyway, do you have a gift already for your loved one? This question especially goes out to all the boyfriends and husbands out there, lol =) If you haven’t yet, try shopping online! Online stores of Saks Fifth Avenue and Henry and June Lingerie offer huge discounts if you have electronic discount coupons. Last year I shopped online using coupon codes from CouponChief.com, and let me tell you, I saved a lot! It was almost like I had 50% of what paid go back to me, lol! This is one shopping secret I won’t regret telling you guys about. After all, online coupon codes don’t run out so no need for secrecy =)

BUSTED!

Filed under: Film, Online Finds! — cutieissa24 at 10:31 am on Thursday, January 17, 2008

One movie theater customer was caught taping a newly released local movie using a hidden spy camera. If he were successful in his attempt, pirated VCDs and DVDs of that hit movie would be in the market right now. Thank god he was busted! Here’s a question for you: do you watch films outside movie theaters? If yes, do you legally rent movie DVDs or do you “borrow” the film online. Me? The latter is my answer! Hehe! Sshhh.. ;p

hmmm, wines!

Filed under: Food and Drink, Online Finds! — cutieissa24 at 5:43 pm on Wednesday, January 16, 2008

Last Christmas, we receive a lot of wine gifts from family friends and co-workers of my father. Not that I’m complaining coz our family loves wines! For most part of the month, you’d see wine in our fridge or pantry rather than softdrinks. As if I’d drink the latter, ughh! Anyhoo, our love for wine got me thinking of joining wine of the month clubs. These clubs send you a monthly wine pack for a fee. Usually the wines sent are hard-to-find and produced in small wineries. Hmm, maybe I’ll gift my parents with this come Christmas.. =)

The X-Files Movie!!!

Xfilesmovie_1
THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE! Or should I say the sequel to The X-Files Movie is out there?? Gosh! I can’t believe that ten years after the first film and six years after the show went off the air, The X-Files finally returns to the big screen with Fox Mulder and Dana Scully! I’m sooo excited!!! =) The new movie doesn’t have a formal title yet, and rumors about its plot say the movie will dump the long-running "mythology" plotline. Whaaattt?? Says Chris Carter, the show’s creator, "We spent a lot of time on (the mythology) and wrapped up a lot of threads. We want a stand-alone movie, not a mythology conspiracy one." Hmm, I’m not sure if I like this development. I LOVE THE ALIENS ANGLE!!! =( For more details, read HERE. The picture at left is the first photo out of the movie’s filming. This is HOT news!

laptop talk

Filed under: Online Finds!, Web/Tech — cutieissa24 at 9:10 pm on Tuesday, January 15, 2008

Last December, a hand-me-down laptop (from my father to my brother then to me!) that I use was deemed “beyond repair” by the computer guys in a known computer shop in our city. The problem? The connection between the charger and the laptop went off and they said there are no more replacement products for it. Sniff! Otherwise, my laptop was okay. There was no other problems but unfortunately, without the charger, I couldn’t plug it so I can’t use it =( I began thinking what if there’s a charger for laptop batteries? Such that I won’t need to plug my laptop on electrical sockets and I will just rely on the charged batteries for me to be able to work? That would be so great! And I would be able to use my laptop again, sigh..

mag-exercise tayo tuwing umaga!

Filed under: Health Matters, Online Finds! — cutieissa24 at 4:12 pm on Tuesday, January 15, 2008

One of my resolutions for the year 2008 is to exercise. I plan to do jumping rope in the morning and jogging in the afternoon (maybe even use ellipticals). I really hope I’d stick to it. My metabolism is already slowing down (I’m 26!!!) and it doesn’t help that my physical activity is just limited to house work and playing with our dogs. For most part of the day, I’m just sitting in front of the PC. Yikes! Anyway, here’s an exercise survey from dNEERO. If you wanna earn extra money for going out on Valentines Day (gotta start early!), answer the survey I posted, post it in your own blog and earn $$$! Simple! =) dNEERO totally rocks!

does your store offer credit card payment?

Filed under: Money Matters, Online Finds! — cutieissa24 at 12:34 pm on Tuesday, January 15, 2008

Plastic money or credit card has become a necessity in our world. At first it was only professionals and those with stable jobs who got this modern money replacement. Then suddenly credit card companies campaigned aggressively which resulted to almost everybody having the little plastic item with magnetic strips. Almost every store you go to, whether small or big AND offline or online, offer Visa & Mastercard payment solutions, and all those other credit card companies.
.
If you’re store don’t still accept credit cards, it’s about time it does. Surveys have pointed time and again that credit card accepting stores have higher sales, whether they are online or offline. APlusMerchant.com is one of those businesses that offer to process credit card payments like Visa and Mastercard for online websites, retail stores, hotels, bars, gas stations, anyone really, and even offshore merchant accounts. If you need an Internet credit card processor, try to visit their website.

travel health insurance

Filed under: Online Finds!, Travel — cutieissa24 at 8:13 am on Tuesday, January 15, 2008

My father travels frequently all over the Philippines as part of his job. Sometime he does out of the country trips. With his frequent traveling, I sometimes wonder if his company got him a travel health insurance policy. After all, the company’s the one sending him on trips. Traveling is not really that risky but what if you get ill abroad? How would you find a doctor? Where would you find appropriate healthcare facility? Where would you seek advice? Did you know that HMO’s, PPO’s and Medicare typically do not cover you abroad? These are just a few reasons why you need a travel health insurance. If you’re a frequent traveler, you better ask your favorite insurance agent about it!
