The advancement in Internet technologies has led to the explosion of ecommerce sites which resulted in online shopping becoming increasingly popular. More and more people are shopping online everyday to purchase everything from books to concert tickets and airline tickets.

The Internet avail us consumers with vast information to compare products and prices easily, help us source hard to find items, and enable us to shop anytime at our convenience in the comfort of our home.

Most people shopping online go from store to store to find the products they want at the right price. With thousands of online stores to choose from, this process is tedious and time consuming.

Digxa.com provides a fundamentally better way for consumers to shop. Digxa.com service allows consumers to search for products they want across several stores at the same time. With a diverse range of product categories from womens clothing to home furnishings to even cars and sailing accessories, you can easily shop and compare prices all under one roof.

For example, when I click on the Computer tab, I was presented with many sub-categories, which can be further narrowed down to the brand and configurations of my choice. From there, I can compare the price of the product I’m targeting over different stores provided from the search listings. At the end of the day, I save time and money finding good deals with Digxa.

Coming back from my family vacation, it’s time to turn my attention back to blogging and having reach a new month, I need to make an update on my blog progress report with respect to my blogging goals.

I won’t try to paint a rosy picture about my blogging endeavor over the past month and will report the ugly truth. In fact, it will be the last time I’ll bore you with my uneventful progress report. To be honest, I haven’t written anything meaningful for a long while now, most of my posts are contest entries, peppered with some gaming related posts and some personal ramblings.

With many Distractions vying for my time and attention, I can’t even churn out engaging posts on a regular basis, and with this deficiency, my targeted posting frequencies had gone down the drain, dragging down both the daily unique visitors and RSS subscriber base which I’ve targeted to achieve. This lack of quality content and thus, visitors’ count and pageviews, has caused my Alexa ranking to erode from March’s level of 140k to today’s level of 208k! It is a big disgrace and I wish the earth would open up and swallow me right now!

The only silver lining across the gloomy sky is my PageRank 4 status but I’m not putting it to great use. Over the past month, I’ve contemplated to sell this blog and give it up to someone who can revive and grow the blog to its fullest potential. Another option available to me would be to milk every dollar out of this PR4 blog by selling text links and writing paid reviews, before the eventual Google bitch slapping caught up with me.

As to which direction the blog will eventually be headed remains to be seen. In the meantime, I’m still feeling LOST.

Hello folks, I returned from my family vacation in Hong Kong on Sunday night, in one piece but dead tired. I am just about done with all the unpacking, the laundry and catching up with much needed sleep over the last few nights.

Just thought I’ll share with you a few photos I took during the trip.

The kids were excited about their first plane ride, although not on this Wright brother’s replica.

We had a wonderful and magical time at Hong Kong Disneyland.

We were at Ocean Park too.

All too soon, it was time to check out of the hotel and check in at the airport for our return flight home.
