Pro Player

My friend, Steve, was laid off recently. He joked that he expected it and was not surprised that he got the axe. Those who still have jobs in this bad time are the ones who surprised him! It’s funny that he could make light joke of the situation but then this guy has always been happy go lucky.

Steve told me that since the employment market is so poor right now, he might as well take a break and enjoy it while it lasts before he goes searching for a job. He is confident that he would be able to find something that he likes to do when the economy turns around.

Meanwhile, Steve says he will try his luck in online casinos. He said that he watched a movie recently where the lead character was a professional player and if he could earn some pocket money playing games online, he would forget about looking for a job. He doesn’t even need to turn pro! I wish I was as confident as him!

Hello Kitty Freebies

Gosh, I thought I am too old to love cute stuff anymore and then when I chanced upon this website of Hello Kitty, I fall in love with her all over again! You see, I grew up with Hello Kitty and had plenty of Hello Kitty collectibles as well. I think part of the reason many of us girls love Hello Kitty was because of all the pink!

Today, I chanced upon the website of Sanrio, which owns Hello Kitty and am glad to say that there are some freebies and many activities to play. I know, these were made to cater to children but I think parents could help the children to play as well, right? These would make awesome family activities.

Check out the website of Sanrio. Hello Kitty is so sweet!

Photoshop Freebies

When I was searching for Photoshop freebies, I have to admit that this website looks really familiar. However, as a blogger running tow freebie blogs, I could hardly remember if I have featured a certain freebie website or blog before. Running eight active blogs, I cannot remember what I blog about sometimes unless the topic is really outstanding.

If I wrote about Photoshop Freebies before, then forgive me. However, this is a very resourceful site and possibly since the earlier post, if I did it, there would have been new Photoshop freebies already.

Photoshop Freebies is a collection of Photoshop freebies that were found all over the internet so that it would be easier for you. Check out the many Photoshop freebies that the owner of the site has found through time.

Free Desktop Blog Publishing – Windows Live Writer

I downloaded, installed and set up Windows Live Writer last evening. I knew about this wonderful application for a long time now but just never gotten around to downloading it. I have used it already, and love it. Publishing posts to my various blogs is quite a breeze provided the internet connection is stable as well, which it isn’t right now!

I have set up eight blogs with it but for my freebie blogs, I find formatting my posts taking too much time because of the images. Perhaps I am not used to it yet but I find that I write and publish faster without using Windows Live Writer for these blogs.

As for other blog posts that do not usually have images, for both Blogger and WordPress self-hosted blogs, Windows Live Writer is an excellent tool for bloggers to have, especially bloggers who run multiple blogs.

Download My Stimulus Package and Receive US$1

Over the years of running two freebie blogs, I have come across some pretty weird freebies and such. This one, I just came across and I thought it’s pretty odd.

You will receive US$1 in your PayPal account if you would download the album of Officer Roseland. That title of this album is My Stimulus Package. Isn’t that weird?

If you would rather donate the money to charity, Officer Roseland would donate the money in your name to Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation. Either way, we stand to gain. LOL

If you love music, just any kind, download My Stimulus Package and receive US$1 or donate it if you wish.

Free Animal Coloring Pages For Children

If you know me personally, you would know that I love animals, especially dogs. If money is of no concern, I would set up an animal shelter. No, I don’t want to set up a shelter where the animals are caged up. I would love to give them the freedom to roam! Yes, that would require plenty of land and of course, money. SIGH!

Today, I decided to check out animal freebies on the web. I know there are many, but most of them are only available to residents in the United States and/or Canada. Oh well, there’s nothing we, who are living outside of North America, could do.

As luck would have it, I stumbled upon this website called Talk To the Vet and they have a collection of free animal coloring pages for children. To grab one, or all, of these coloring sheets which include those of fish, cars, dogs and birds, just click on the thumbnail and print out the large image. Each coloring sheet comes with a “tip” on caring for that particular pet.

Free Web Design Elements

I was checking for freebies on the web this morning and stumbled upon this website, Design Shard. I love their web template but black is really a difficult colour on many older people’s eyes. Anyway, if you are looking for free web design elements, Design Shard has a very huge collection of freebies that we could download and use on our own web projects.

As with all such freebies, do check the terms or use first before using them. You may be required to provide a link back to the designer or maybe these are not meant for commercial purposes. Whatever it is, comply with the terms as stipulated by the designer and there will be even more freebies to come.
