OK, so I didn’t go running around photo shoot sessions and playing the fame game. But I was spending much time playing an online game, one that helps improve my vocabulary and at the same time help reduce world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free! I’m referring to the online vocab game over at FreeRice dot com. For each word players get right, FreeRice donate 20 grains of rice to the United Nations World Food Prgram to help reduce world hunger. Yes, isn’t that a noble cause? I’ve since “donated” tens of thousands grains of rice.
Who pays for the donated rice?
The rice is paid for by the advertisers whose names you see on the bottom of your vocabulary screen. This is regular advertising for these companies, but it is also something more. Through their advertising at FreeRice, these companies support both learning (free vocabulary for everyone) and reducing hunger (free rice for the hungry).
Before I end this post with a video about FreeRice, I urge you to go over to Free Rice and make your contributions to help reduce world hunger. Spread the words to your families and friends. Remember, no amount is too small, every grain counts!
I have a confession to make. The reason for my lack of posting for the whole of last week was due to the various photo shoot sessions with some of the world’s top photographers shooting me for some of the world’s top magazines.
No seriously, the above pranks were just a load of fun made possible by MagMyPic. MagMyPic.com allows you to upload your photos to create your own fake magazine covers! MagMyPic.com is an affiliate marketing effort that works to distribute and market subscriptions to each of the magazines displayed on MMP while providing a fun and entertaining way for users to display their picture.

I’m sure many of us have set our New Year’s resolutions and/or blogging goals but have you thought of how to see them through so that those resolutions do not turn into wishful thinking. Don’t set resolutions or goals for the sake of setting them without having a firm commitment to fulfil them, no proper method to track your progress and no planned periodic review of where you stand.
It’s three weeks into the new year—so the question is, how are those resolutions coming along? If you are having a tough time sticking to those resolutions, be it to lose weight, quit smoking, exercise regularly, then help is on hand in the form of a free web-based tool called stickK.
Hello everyone! Welcome to this exclusive screenings of two of my favorite holiday movies. It’s been one fun year of blogging, but not without the sweat and toil that accompanied as part of the deal. Most importantly, I’ve made many global friends through blogging, we all came from diverse cultures, and some are experts in their own rights. But the Internet not only shrunk the world into a global village, but also levelled the playing field. Relationships were formed, deals transacted, and individual thoughts opinionated, all with the clicks of a mouse. If the sword is indeed mightier than the pen, then in this Internet Age, the mighty Mouse will rule the world.
I want to cap off an amazing year by holding this holiday movie theme party to share with all my readers and fellow friends. Please enjoy yourself, go ahead, make lots of noises, and do invite your friends over to this party! Without further ado, let’s get the shows on the road. Read the rest of this entry »
