The Sanctuary

Entering SocialSpark.

2008-05-23T23:10:00.002+08:00

Have you heard of SocialSpark? No, I am not talking about sparks from fireworks or social meeting friom some match making agency. I am talking about the last project from Izea (formerly known as PayPerPost). Previously they were code named Argue but they have been renamed to SocialSparks back then. I have been using it for one month now and I have to say so far I am quite satisfied with it. Although there are some issues like the part where you had to reserve opportunity, it directs you to a blank page instead of giving you a direct notification with it. Other than that, I also dislike the part where the opportunity page does not load properly when I clicked on other pages. But I am sure such problem would not hinder their progress because they have come this far to the extent of created their own paid post company brand. That’s because PayPerPost/SocialSparks is synonym to the paid posting industry of the cyberworld. I kinda like their blogger profile section because you cannot view these bloggers in the old PayPerPost platform. It can be frustrating because sometimes you would love to search for these bloggers for writing good posts. I mentioned earlier that I kinda like how they portray their profile because it allows bloggers to be creative in decorating their information. I mean how many times will you find a Desperate House Wives blogger in the SocialSpark Network right? So I thought it was creative of this blogger to become up with such name and profile. At least her profile is so much decorated than my bland profile.

Macross Frontier Rocks

2008-05-23T22:22:00.000+08:00

Macross Frontier is awesome.

I truly enjoy the action sequence.

Normally I don't really enjoy CG sequences.

But the Macross Frontier CG sequence is cool.

A whole lot better than Macross Zero.

cheap international phone card

2008-04-16T21:59:00.003+08:00

Making international calls used to be an extremely expensive affair. Seriously, it is super expensive. I remember I used to have a friend who would always make international calls to his girlfriend who was working in Singapore back then. He almost spent more than 50% percent of his monthly salary just for phone bills alone. Could you imagine earning salary just to pay those puny phone bills? Those were the days that I would rather not remember. Thankfully, my friend is finally married so he doesn't have to make those calls everyday. Speaking of old days, I used to have a girlfriend who was working in overseas too and I had my own fair share of exorbitant phone bills. When I think about it, it was very scary. Don't you think it's scary when you used to spend hundreds of dollars on phone bill alone? You can do wonders with such accumulated amount. I can even buy a new computer. What can I do to rectify such problem? I am not a rich guy and my dad is not a millionaire either. So I cannot possibly spend any more money than I should from this. Luckily, phone companies are beginning to capitalize on these problem. They are beginning to offer cheap international phone card. Seriously, the rate is so cheap I could not believe it myself. Why would it be unbelievable? What if I tell you regular users could save 80% more on regular long distance calling? Such offer will be beneficial to those who often make international calls. Eighty percent is seriously a big discount. Not eight but eighty. So are you looking to save more money on international phone calls? Then look no further other than this site. You may even get more discounts from buying international phone cards. You will get more than you bargain for.

Soul Eater

2008-04-16T10:42:00.004+08:00

Bleach and Naruto is returning to filler mode soon.

So I have to find new anime to keep myself busy.

And I did.

I found Soul Eater.

The animation is kinda unique.

It's a little different from the mainstream anime out there.

Kinda reminds me of Gorillaz animation style.

Finding more stuff to watch

2008-04-15T22:20:00.000+08:00

No more Terminator.

No more Prison Break.

What can I watch now?

I just remember I still have Dexter Season 2 to watch.

Man, I am such a series addict.

Luckily I don't need TV anymore.

OFFICE FURNITURE

2008-04-04T22:13:00.003+08:00

Office workers face some problem in maintaining their sitting postures because they had to work long hours. It gets worst when the chair you used is in bad condition. It will certainly affect the way you position your body in the future.

But you can always cure this problem by buying ergonomically designed OFFICE FURNITURE. Don't save your money for this. It will be money well spent.

Flashbacks in Lost

2008-04-04T10:20:00.000+08:00

Honestly, there is too many flashbacks in Lost.

Now, there are flashforwards.

Too many of them, sometimes it gets a little confusing for me.

Not to mention newbies who decided to pick this series out from nowhere.

At least stories in CSI are not too linear.

You can still follow some of their stories even when you are way back behind.

HDPE Regrind

2008-03-30T22:18:00.001+08:00

You know, the plastic consumption in the world today is so scary it is enough to cover the whole earth. Plastics are scary because it will take them at least 200 years or more to be properly dispose by mother nature. With the amount of plastics being produced today, I don't think we can wait for another 200 years. Before that, our earth might be already be polluted by all excessive plastics. Fortunately, we can recycle plastics with the commonly used HDPE Regrind. Not only we can recycle it, we can also save the environment at the same time. Now that's killing 2 birds with one stone.

Shortest series ever?

2008-03-29T23:21:00.000+08:00

I think that's the shortest season in any series that I have watched so far.

No thanks to the Writer's Strike.

Otherwise Terminator fans would be treated with a longer season.

But that's gonna happen in the next season anyway.

If the Series is not canceled halfway due to some unknown reason.

Summer Glau is still hot though :P

2008 thanksgiving specials

2008-03-08T00:11:00.002+08:00

Are you feeling the pinch from your shrinking wallet? Well shrinking wallet in the sense of money of course. Or else what would I be referring to right? Anyway as I was saying, many people are feeling the pinch of global inflation caused directly by the petrol price. Due to this incident, many people would be more careful in their spendings especially when festive seasons are arriving. Festive seasons are the time when shoppers spend lots of money in buying stuffs especially Christmas. Most of you have family members so I don't think a shopper generally settles for 1 gift for their loved ones. They will buy at least 2 gifts. But more gifts equals to more money. Not every one has the luxury to spend more on gifts. If they really want to save money on this, they should check 2008 thanksgiving specials out. Saving money is not the main reason why you should shop online with Black Friday's special website. When you are shopping for gifts when festive seasons are around the corner, you are bound to meet with countless of shoppers out there. Not every one has the patience to wait for a longer queue. But shopping with Black Friday website totally eliminates the need to queue up and shopping online has not been simpler ever since.

Macross Frontier

2008-03-08T00:05:00.000+08:00

I think Macross Frontier is going to replace Gundam 00 Season 1.

Yes Gundam 00 is not done yet.

There will be Season 2.

I have seen the 1st episode of Macross though.

It's not too bad as I think it will mark a new beginning for the franchise.

I like their concept of human colony.

I think it's pretty breathtaking.

door handles

2008-03-05T22:55:00.003+08:00

Last time I used to stay with my friends. It was a fun experience. I mean, it is good to live outside to know what it feels like living with some one else other than our family members. So I thought it is one of my memorable experiences out there. But there is one thing that has always been a problem to the house we rent though. The door handle is not working well. No matter how many times we ask the landlord to inspect the problem, he would give one thousand and one excuses for not showing up. You know, it was very frustrating because we do not feel too secured of having a malfunctioned door handle. It is risky to have a malfunctioned door handle in a area that is not too safe from thieves. I did not know earlier that we can find a variety of door handles from this website. My friend would be delighted because we can finally find something nice for the ugly door. This website is very interesting because I am attracted with their designs. It makes feel like buying one of them for my mum too. Too bad my door handle is still working fine. Otherwise I would buy one on the spot.

Prison Break 'finale

2008-03-05T08:27:00.000+08:00

I am not sure if Prison Break is going to have new episodes for Season 3.

But the whole deal with this Whistler guy is complicated.

I don't know if they can still write good story out from prison escape.

I mean, 1 season is about breaking out from prison while the other season is about manhunt.

So I don't think this series will go on any longer.

I am still pissed that they decided to cancel 4400 though.

Buzzfuse.com

2008-03-05T01:26:00.001+08:00

Every one who owns a website dream of having large traffic every day. But you should know that driving good amount of traffic to your website is not an easy job. However, things are possible with Buzzfuse.com.

It is not difficult to navigate around Buzzfuse to learn how it actually works. I own a blog, and I will definitely look into the possibilities of finding more ways to increase my traffic.

Sarah Connor Chronicles review.

2008-03-05T00:49:00.000+08:00

The Sarah Connor chronicles is getting interesting.

I kinda forgotten that Kyle Reese is John Connor's dad.

Don't you think it's strange?

The future leader is actually conceived by people of the future.

I wonder how it happens.

But let's just see what happens when Sarah tries to talk Charley out of it.

Meet new people

2008-02-15T03:42:00.003+08:00

Looks like online dating do not want to miss the Valentine day fun eh? Well, with or without Valentine, online dating is here to stay. People complain they can't find their life partner. Sometimes, it is not enough to hope for a new partner alone. You need to Meet new people. If you don't, how are you going to meet your potential spouse?

I think online dating is a great medium for future courting. You don't have to depend on pen pal to get a life partner any because you can just use online dating to do all the search for you. Yeap, with this technology, it's darn easy to do so.

Prison Break season 3 episode 11

2008-02-15T01:28:00.000+08:00

Wow, that's a gigantic hole.

This is the part where I would like to see how the writers are going to pull off their creative juice.

For example, how these prisoners are going to escape in less than 30 seconds?

Not to mention any potential mishaps they might face in the midst of escaping.

It's kinda odd because it's like a cycle.

One season on prison, the next preceding season is about manhunt.

Stateless Society Website

2008-02-06T04:45:00.000+08:00

It's fun for me to read politics as this is something that always intrigue me at the moment. In the recent events of the political climate in Malaysia, citizens have problem in making their voices heard through demonstration but are always subjected to draconian laws such as the ISA. That is direct breach of a democratic spirit and the federal constitution. Perhaps those who are affected should read Stateless Society Website because it provides an alternative view on how a society should work in every citizen's interest. It may be an utopian dream for the nation to achieve something like what is being described in the book but there's no harm in harboring hopes for a better country.

Hana Kimi

2008-02-06T00:02:00.000+08:00

Can't believe I actually watched the japanese version of Hana Kimi. Okay that's hardly surprising since I watch Japanese dramas most of the time compare to other asian serials. I definitely enjoy the japanese version better as it is more comical and do not have too much boyband idol element in it. I enjoyed laughing as much as I could and sometimes I would forget this drama is actually romance based. This is what I like about them since they manage to omit the lovey dovey part of it.

Woodland lapband

2008-01-30T23:48:00.000+08:00

People are vain. They want to look good all the time. That being said, they enjoy eating without having to worry about the weight too. You can't have both things at the same time but there's one simple solution to it. So what is the solution to it? Simple. You can consider taking Woodland lapband. While you think it might be a cliche thing in taking plastic surgery but you can't deny it's one of the popular methods at the moment.

Thoughts on Prison Break

2008-01-30T22:56:00.000+08:00

That dickhead is not a fisherman. I mean, who in their right mind will think he's really a fisherman? He look too polite in demeanor to be one. That deceitful bastard. Anyway, I am really excited to know if Prison Break is going to end at episode 13 or 23. I hope it's the latter otherwise every PB fans will have to wait many months before the next season starts. In the mean time, I'll just entertain myself with the upcoming 24 and Terminator series.

Money Now! USA

2008-01-29T22:44:00.001+08:00

Now, getting emergency cash is not an issue anymore with Money Now! USA. Although it's not good to borrow a lot but sometimes if there are any emergencies, at least we know where we can count on to get fast cash if we are ever involved in any financial uncertainty.

I'll take a deeper look in Money Now USA to have a better look at their repayment scheme.

Terminator series

2008-01-29T15:11:00.000+08:00

Any one watch Terminator - The Sarah Connor chronicles here? Well I do. I am a great fan of the Terminator franchise since Arnie's days although I have to say T3 wasn't good for my standards. Terminator 1 is classic while Terminator 2 is awesome and also classic. I love both of them but I don't like T3. The pilot episode of the new Terminator series has special effects and the beautiful Summer Glau as the eye candy terminator. Yeah I can't see her butt because we did saw Arnie's butt when he first arrived to present day earth stark naked.

chicken recipes

2008-01-17T23:06:00.000+08:00

Man, I am a fan of grilled chickens. We have our own style of grilled chickens in Malaysia but I would like to try different types of chicken recipes from other countries. This would be a great experience for my taste bud because I longed for awesome grilled chickens from other part of the world and El Pollo Loco is certainly delicious (although I haven't tried it but it look great!).

Prison Break Resumes

2008-01-17T22:59:00.000+08:00

Prison Break has resume airing but it will only for additional 5 episodes unless the Writers Strike ended earlier than expected (which is unlikely). Sona is getting a little messier with many characters being pushed into the series needlessly but it would be interesting how they will wrap up this story with the remaining 5 episodes. It looks pretty pack and I just hope it doesn't end the way like Heroes season 2 does. Right now, I am still waiting Lost Season 4 and 24 season 7 to air on TV. This is going to be a long wait.
