I have a friend who is very adventurous. When she has conquered all the mountains in the country, she still hankered for more and joined climbing expeditions abroad. Although I am not as adventurous as her, I enjoy listening to her travel tales and the challenge she found climbing some of the famous mountains in the world.
Besides mountain climbing and trekking, she loves back packing too. What a free spirit she is.
She told me about Tusker Trail, which is founded by Eddie Frank who has thirty years of experience climbing Kilimanjaro and climbed the mountain just as many times. In such climbs, safety is of utmost importance so it is a blessing that Eddie himself is a medical professional and has highly competent trained staff to guide tourists up the mountain.
Before you decide to climb that mountain and put yourself through the “torture” I think you would be wise to get to know the place better by requesting for a free brochure from Tusker Trail. While you are at the site of Tusker Trail, why not watch the amazing Kilimanjaro on video?

As you may recall, I bought a domain name recently but am too cheap to pay for the services of a web designer. I thought that I could set up my website as cheaply as possible and one of the things I am doing is to search for suitable web templates.
I noticed that most templates, although they may be free, are most for commercial websites. Mine is more of a personal nature so looking for a free template that I like isn’t as easy as I thought.
Anyway, I came across some interesting flash templates and clipart from Template Monster. Although the site primarily SELLS templates, and they don’t come cheap too, there are a few pages of templates and clipart that can be downloaded and used for Free. So they are not all bad, eh?

I came across an interesting website called It’s My Market which not only provides
free classifieds serving the United Kingdom but also an online dating service, free blogs, weather reports, local cinema listings, traffic reports, forums, competitions and many more interesting activities.
I think that It’s My Market is a great community portal not only because it is free but the people seem like real nice and hospitable. Since my cousin is working in London, I most definitely will tell her about It’s My Market. She has been complaining that she has NO friends there in London and life is very boring and uneventful. Hopefully, she can make new friends here with her blog and the forum or maybe also participate in online dating!
All in all, a site that I would join if I were in the United Kingdom!

I came across this online store that specializes in
incense which I thought is interesting to share. Besides, at only $1 for a pack of 20 fresh, hand-dipped, long burning incense, it is a steal! I like it that they ship internationally. After all, the internet is borderless.
Apart from incense and carved wooden incense holders, Best Incense, Inc. online store also carries a wide selection of perfume oils, natural and aromatherapy bath crystals. If you are looking for these, I am sure you will be able to find just the scent you have been looking for from Best Incense, Inc.
Best Incense, Inc. is currently giving away samples of their fresh, hand-dipped, long burning incense. All you need to do is to send in your personal particulars like name and full delivery address and include three 37cents stamps for postage to the following address:
THE BEST INCENSE CO.
P.O. BOX 91098
LOS ANGELES, CA 90009
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
Please note that this sample is available one per address and within the United States only. Remember to include the three 37cents stamps but don’t affix them to the envelope!
I stumbled upon one of the most innovative online contests recently. It is a reality contest that is running on GoFish.com for fourteen weeks. I was actually watching Free videos at GoFish.com which led to my discovery of this contest, which is called “Seduce A Celeb”.
The winner of the contest will get to date the celebrity and she is the ever so hot Mirelly Taylor. I am sure you would have seen her on movies like “Kiss Me Again” and “Serving Sara” and TV shows “Las Vegas”, “Punk’d”, and “Numb3rs”.
So how does one stand to win a once in a lifetime chance of dating a celebrity? Mirelly Taylor has made three videos giving participants three calls-to-action and participants will have to submit videos of themselves answering those calls. Participants have to outdo each other and of course they have to be outrageously creative and funny to even stand a chance! And the more videos submitted the better chances of winning, of course.
Virtually everyone can participate by submitting their videos and try to score a date with Mirelly, as long as he is a member of GoFish.com and residing in the United States. If you are not a member yet, register NOW and get that video camera out!
This is a really interesting contest. I wonder who will be the next celebrity in their line-up. Could it be Jennifer Aniston?

I have a friend who is very proud of his car and treats it so well until his girlfriend comes second place. He told me about a contest that is organized by
Import Tuner magazine called “
Ride of the Month“. The contest, more popularly known as
ROTM, allows people to showcase their ride in a “clean” way. Photos that contain nudity, sexually explicit content, violence or in any way offend the general public or contain an image of a person or copyrighted will be disqualified.
Out of all entries received, only three will be short listed by way of members’ vote. These three entries will be featured on Import Tuner’s website and these winners will win themselves an Import Tuner t-shirt valued at $20 approximate retail price.
This contest, which runs from 1st May, 2007 (9am PST) until 22nd May, 2007 (5pm PST), is only open to legal residents of the United States of America who are above 18 years old and hold a valid driver’s licence. Too bad, my friend in Malaysia is not able to show off showcase his ride to the world.

If you spend as much time online as I do, I am sure you will need a disposable email address. Many times, I signed up with websites for a certain service or to try out something and I end up being spammed. No doubt, some sites ASSURE us of not sending us unsolicited email but not all will hold true their promise.
If you just take a look at my inbox, I am sure you won’t relish spending time everyday just clearing out the junk. What to do, I do not even remember where I signed up for stuff and which companies are sending me mailings, updates and advertisements anymore.
Since I discovered SpamBog, I have stopped receiving new junk. Whenever I am required to provide a valid email address, SpamBog comes to my rescue. SpamBog has a toolbar that we can install on our FireFox browser enabling us to access our SpamBog inbox directly from our toolbar.
SpamBog is not just a disposable email address, of course. With it, you can send, reply, save or print your messages. I love it that we can send out “Failed Delivery” messages to bounce off email from people whom we no longer want to receive mails from! Best of all, this is a FREE service.
