Cheap Phone Cards!



0 shared thoughts
Yes, that's true!


Most of us have relatives or friends living abroad (or just really far far away), and once in a while (if not always!) we just get the urge to know how they are doing and getting on with their lives. Sending emails is just not enough ... or even chatting through messengers. That's where cheap phone card get in the picture! Having one around is quite handy, really quite convenient, specially during cases where you need to call long distance RIGHT AWAY.

Pingo long distance card can be used for long distance calls in 35 countries, can be recharged automatically, and utilizes PINless dialing (PINpass™ is used instead); one great thing is that when you refer-a-friend, you get $5.00 USD in free calls! Now isn't that great?

Another fabulous feature that I found on their site is their Ratewatcher™ button. This definitely eliminates the hassle of comparing calling cards, then looking for the ones with the lowest rates. So convenient! All this in one great site where you not only come away feeling good, but also have this feeling that pretty soon you'll be calling your best friend or family (who's moved far far away), more often!

So, what are you waiting for? Head on right over to the site and check them out!

Vibrant Sunset



5 shared thoughts

I don't know why, but sunsets fascinate me ...
specially that certain time when the sun is just about really low. Usually the colors are more magnificent at that time. More dramatic.

I read somewhere that to get really great sunset images, try waiting for that certain time ... the crucial few minutes of gorgeous colors.

Doesn't look like i got it, though. Looks more like i caught the sunset when it was still hot and vibrant!

Next time, perhaps. :)

Bollywood Images at IIFA 2007



0 shared thoughts
The IIFA (Indian International Film Academy) 2007 Media Conference was held recently in Leeds, UK, and some well-known celebrities were around to grace the occasion.

Photographer Vijay was there to take some shots, and had posted it over on his site, moviegupshup. So, are you interested in having bollywood wallpapers for your computer? No need to look for other sites! The site is quite easy to browse through and the pictures, even in thumbnails, are adequately spaced; making it easier to view, then choose. You just click on the picture that you like (or find interesting) and then preview it on a larger scale. You can leave comments about the shot, which is really quite useful if you want to let the photographer know what you think about the picture(s), rate them, or send them to your friends as e-cards. Now that's really a convenient way to get your bollywood wallpapers!

Here at moviegupshup you'll find pictures of those gorgeous ladies and their handsome leading men. Their most recent offering, the IIFA 2007 pictures, also features Salman Kahn, Shilpa Shetty, Mansi Scott (the host during the conference), and Abhishek Bachchan, among others. You can take your pick among the one hundred plus shots taken by photographer Vijay during the said occasion. The pictures here are available for downloads, and of good quality. Since the site holds numerous shots taken during the event, there are plenty to choose from, including a shot of the gorgeous Diya Mirza as seen at IIFA 2007.

So, for those who are into bollywood (am so sure there are lots out there!), go over there right now and check out the site! You'll enjoy it.

Thirteen Things about maiylah
Thirteen Reasons Why I Decided to be a SAHM
(Stay-At-Home-Mom)


1. I was too paranoid to hire a nanny
i know, i think i've been watching too many movies back then ... and reading too many detective books! lol

2. I wanted to be there when my son did those "first things"
like the first time he smiled back at me ... so precious!

3. I enjoyed just lazing around the house
nothing beats sleeping till your head hurts! lol

4. I very well wouldn't have much time for blogging if I had a day job
well, unless i skip on sleeping ...

5. I have the time to take pictures ... lots of them. :)
yeah, lots ...

6. I have the time to learn stuffs through the internet, for free!
like photoshop techniques, taking good pictures, blogging ...

7. I like the idea of being here (at home) when my son or husband arrives
my son from school, and my hubby from work ...

8. I can watch my favorite tv shows uninterrupted
lol ...

9. I am the boss here (at home)
hopefully, i'm not a tyrant, or anything ...

10. There are only two schedules to consider, when we decide on going on long trips
my son's school, and hubby's work, schedules

11. I have the time to "just be" with my son and learn stuffs from his views and opinions
believe me, sometimes his views and opinions are way more mature than mine!

12. I have the time to visit my sisters whenever i want to
i visit them almost everyday!

13. I am loving it (being a SAHM) too much to give it up now! :)
life isn't all a bed of roses, of course; but considering things, i'm pretty much satisfied!
I believe i need those ups and downs to spice things up a bit. :)

My Blog Just Got Approved By PPP .... and that 's why ....

... I'm so happy today! :)

Honestly, I never thought that blogging could be rewarding, not only in terms of getting to know other bloggers (and their secrets, at times, hehehe) but also financially. A blogger friend encouraged me to join groups with themes (or are they called memes?), which lead me to visiting other bloggers and learning about pro blogging. Companies advertise on blogs, the blogger gets paid for it, and that makes the blogger a pro blogger. Sounds, so simple, isn't it? But that doesn't mean you'd go from rags to riches overnight! Like other jobs (somehow, that word doesn't sound so appealing, huh?!) this takes time, too. But, as long as you enjoy blogging, and companies continue to advertise on blogs, being a pro blogger definitely sounds appealing to me!
