my review - www.aarp.org

dear reader,
i have crossed this page from watching a news this morning according to the news it is pretty good and you will learn a lot from money matters to health to travel to entertainment and a lot more.
so i checked it out and i am very impressed of the database and all the information i can read and get in such a site.
with our economy right now it is nice to know a site that will help us understand what is going on and be able to give us sound advices on what and not to do.
i like the money section as i have learned so much from them just by few minutes, it's just amazing.
i know all of us are starting to feel the effects of it and to have a site like aarp.org to give us ways to Catch-up Savings, Slash Your Food Bill and even provide some tools to:

* Calculate what a reverse mortgage might mean to you with our reverse mortgage calculators in English and in Spanish
* Learn how to spot errors in your hospital bill
* Submit a financial challenge to the On the Money column

is very helpful.

there are other sections in this site that you will like as well as it caters to almost everything that one would like to know and or understand.

i hope you get a chance to see this place and be able to see what i see and use that as a tool to improve your every day living.

takecare!

my review - www.smorty.com

after so many browsing and reviewing i finally end up being satisfied with this site, seems like they are working and legit, not sure but i really hope it does so i can add up to what i am earning now and help those that i want to help. it's kinda hard to know what is real and what is not now on the net seems like everybody is trying their best to prove that their site is real though it is not.
i have read that this site pays and that there are so many blogs that says that it really works, i have to read some other blogs and see how it works and see their reviews and experience so i can tell that what i am doing make sense and i am not just wasting my time joining and giving away my info, that will really be a bummer.
i checked some other site that claims they are legit and after further checking leads me not wanting to read further, i guess it is best to just join in the few and focus to that than be everywhere.
the cool thing about this site is that, they will check your blog and see if they are appropriate before they accept your application, so hope mine will be approved coz my site already focus on reviewing stuff.
i have so many stuff to read and review but i hope i can just place here ones that really matters so we can all learn from it.
anyway, wish me luck!

my review - www.allrecipes.com

if you're looking for a great site to look out for free recipes and be part of the site, i highly recommend this site coz you can browse recipes easy and they have a pretty good selection to choose from. most of the recipe with high rates is as tasty as it sounds, often i consider the reviews and do the changes base on that.
i like the fact that i can save it and label it in different way or cooking or country (cuisine) and to me that is really cool coz sometimes i just want to explore some foods that i am not even aware of.
oh, another thing that i like about it is that you can change the servings and the ingredient's size will change based on the servings you want.
the only thing i dont like about it is that, i did join the membership and i even submit my own recipe and it was like november or december and it is still on "REVIEWS", what's with that? i mean if you want to encourage your members to submit their own recipe then you should inform them that it may take a year or so (lol) before their recipe can be part of the database, i just dont get it. to me it is frustrating coz i am very proud that i did something on my own and would like others to know bout it but i dont think it will happen anytime soon (not that i really want them to know my recipe)
anyway, the only reason i did that is because i want to know how the their system works when it comes to members who wants to submit recipes coz i have seen so many recipes on that site so i wonder if its just me who is experiencing such thing.
oh well, not sure if somebody is reading this but just in case i would like to know if you have a better site than this one or if you happen to be a member of this and share your thoughts.
takecare

my review - www.mylot.com

a friend of mine suggested that i join this site so i can earn something while i am sitting at home.
so i did tried, i find it too much work at the beginning and surely i stop after a week. then today after thinking of what i can do i happened to open the site again and find it really interesting and useful.
i suggest to those who likes to read and be part of discussions, this is a great place to check and be part of.
there are various post that will interest you and there are some that will just blows your mind (go figure,,, haha)
the great thing is that it doesnt only focus to a certain topic, there are lots of issues that you can be part of and it is really fun.
talking about fun and earning something haha
i havent earn anything yet since i just started but the 1st time i did post i got $0.05 so now that i am into it i am wondering if i can earn at least $1 haha
i have read other member's story and they do highly recommend it so i guess it is worth trying.
anyway, i love the site and i am enjoying it not because i can earn but because i can learn from others which is important to me.

my review - www.couchsurfing.com

not sure if you heard about this site, but when i was living in beijing i saw it on the news BBC and they say it is pretty interesting, so i went there and join, not really the active kind but i am amazed how many likes to tour or go to a certain place with different reasons (i.e. studies, business, adventure)
i like the idea that you dont have to spend so much money for your stay in a hotel, all you have to do is to be part of the site and then contact those who wants their place to be your place while you are on your trip. although there is still some questions if you can really trust that person but i assume that most member of that is intelligent enough to know which one is not to trust or not.
in return of the favor you should do the same to those who wants to visit your area so it is kinda like networking of free stay.
one thing that you can do before you contact the person you want to stay with, you can read their profiles and check the reviews and feedback of those who have stayed to his/her place so you can have an idea what it is like, you can also (maybe) try to contact that person and ask for some details since they have been to that situation so you are more aware what to do and not to do.
www.couchsurfing.com is not only a site for free stay, you can also meet new friends and get to know the place you want to visit in the future.
members not only provide a free stay coz some just wants to meet for a coffee, drinks, meal or part of the tour so you dont have to feel that you have to entrust your home to a stranger.
it is really a nice site and i can recommend it to friends and people who are into the same idea.
i honestly didnt let anybody stay with me coz i dont have extra space but i do meet new friends through that and have coffee at starbucks.
anyway, i'll be happy to hear your side of story about this site as i think it is such a cool idea.
takecare!

my review - american idol...

we went out last night and didnt get the chance to watch the whole show but i have seen the performance the other days and i honestly dont agree for the decision lately.
i am telling my husband that seems like they are letting go of the good ones.
i think they all have talents but seeing and hearing the same old stuff all the time makes me think how credible such talent search show is.
i wish there will be someone who will just wow you and just be completely different than normal now, to me they are all sounding the same and nothing that will last awhile kinda like those in the 60's til 90's not that musicians now are terrible or something, it's just that there is nothing great and remarkable on the song that i can tell to myself that i will be singing that song 10 years or more from now.
anyway, i hope whoever win this season will last for years and best a lifetime knowing they dream for that to happen.
wish everybody the best of luck!
