The Need for Speed

Posted by "Travel blogging? Is that thing still around?" on Thursday, February 28th, 2008 @ 6:49 pm in Personal - Philippines.

53 words

Speed test


Found this at Jenlex's blog and it seemed interesting. I had a typing lesson several years ago and I can't remember my grade anymore :) I think 53 words per minute is decent enough. At least I'm accurate.

Here's the breakdown of my grade:
You type 290 characters per minute
You have 53 correct words and
you have 0 wrong words

I now tag Janice, Kaye, Che and Punditocracy. It pays for a blogger to type fast, agree? :)

Of coupons and discounts

Posted by alohapenny on Thursday, February 28th, 2008 @ 5:11 pm in Personal - International.

We all go crazy over super sales in malls, don't we? Well, I know I do especially when it comes to shoes. I would never come out of a shoe store that's on sale with less than three pairs. Iknoerite? My mom would always say, "What the hell do you need more shoes for? You only have two feet." And all I can come up with when I retal is "Well, they were on sale mom!" And I run quickly inside the bedroom, lock the door, try them on, then walk a few times back and forth in front of a mirror imagining a catwalk. Oh the happies! But shoes are not the whole point of this entry.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, most of us go gaga over cheap and discounted prices. I know I never experienced cutting coupons from the news paper just to get discounts in stores, but I did hoard those McSaver coupons being given outside of McDonald's. LOL. :D People find means and would definitely go for cheaper prices, all the time. The internet is one place where people can haggle and save a lot on items like electronics or even jewelry. I never thought I'd buy stuff from the net, I always had the notion that it isn't safe. But that did not stop online stores, there are a lot of ways now to keep a secure purchase over the internet and lots of creative ideas on how to sell, hence the sudden burst of e-stores. Take Couponchief.com for example, they offer discounted coupons from the widest range and variety of stores and products to customers. Shopping becomes so much easier and enjoyable since its not hefty on the pocket and its just a few clicks away. Who would want to waste their time cutting coupons from the newspapers?
