Limbo is an addictively fun game – played via text messaging on a cell phone or online. Limbo is distinct from any other experience in that the winner is the person that picks the lowest number that no other player picks, or the lowest unique number. It encourages players to stay highly engaged during each round as they receive comments and tips regarding their picks (e.g., “you’re the lowest unique,†“your pick is unique but not the lowest,†etc.).
Since launching in January 2006, Limbo has rewarded more than 650 Limbo winners, awarding more than $530,000 in prizes. To learn more about Limbo and see all of the current live Limbo games, visit www.41414.com.
Queen Latifah has shined as the official spokesperson for Covergirl’s Queen Collection cosmetics since 2006. Hailed by the hip-hop world and by Hollywood, Queen Latifah first made a name for herself in 1989 with the groundbreaking hip-hop album All Hail the Queen, establishing herself as the first female rapper to become a bona fide star. In the years since, her popularity has transcended all forms of media, thanks to her crossover success in such hit films as Jungle Fever and Chicago, in which her role as Mama earned Queen Latifah both a Golden Globe and an Academy Award nomination. In 2004, the artist returned to her musical roots to release a jazz collection of standards entitled The Dana Owens Album, which included collaborations with Herbie Hancock and Al Green. This September’s Trav’lin’ Light will further showcase Queen Latifah’s musical talents and passion for jazz.

Postcards From Hawaii

I have never had the opportunity to visit Hawaii before but it is a place that is at the top of one of my “must visit” places. My fascination with Hawaii began when I first got to know my Hawaiian pen-pal, Gypsy.
Gypsy has told me many good things about Hawaii and recommended me websites that features Hawaii exclusively. One site that she frequents is Postcards-Hawaii.com
This website allows anyone to send out electronic postcards that features Hawaii and its people. Gypsy told me that she has used many of the postcards here to introduce people to Hawaii and it has been very effective in attracting people’s interest. Personally, I myself have received quite a handful of Hawaii postcards from this website but I also have the privilege of receiving REAL postcards through airmail but that is another matter all together.
Check out the many beautiful images of Hawaii from Postcards-Hawaii.com and be transported to the scenic tropical island through them.
Win 100 CDs from The Celebrity Cafe

You know, it really is not easy to find contests that are willing to accept international entries. Being in Malaysia, I feel that those who are outside of the United States, or at least North America, have been missing out on a lot of goodies.
However, with FreebieLand and House of Freebies, it IS my job to scour the internet for them so that you do not have to! Just join and try to win while leaving the work to me. Easy peasy.
It is a delight for me to inform that you can win 100 CDs from The Celebrity Cafe by participating in their Banner Design contest. Do visit their website for various banner sizes.
Now, I really cannot imagine how heavy a hundred CDs will be but they do accept international entries so grab this chance. I would join to if only I could design and create to save my life.
Some years back, I won myself 25 CDs and boy, did I have a great time with those CDs. I am sure the winner of these 100 CDs will enjoy him/herself tremendously with exploring hours and hours or new music!
Smart Shopping With Coupons
As you may know, I am looking for a smart phone and a laptop. My current ones are in desperate need of replacement. Today, I decided to put an end to my procrastination and start shopping for them seriously.
I tried to find promo codes online and came across some great Fujitsu deals. I was so happy because Fujitsu has some of the best laptop models. I am going to need to do a little bit more research on the various models before I buy but I am so glad that with the Fujitsu coupon codes, I am able to save some money!
As for my smart phone, I found Kyocera coupons and I am going to check out their wireless mobile packages. Boy, do I love online shopping, especially when I get to save!
With the newly added feature of a coupon screencast to most major merchants on the site, shopping with coupons has never been this simple.
Net-Gamers Online Games

If you are forced to stay on the computer for long hours everyday, what would you do? For me, I try to sneak in a little online game or two or I would be bored like hell. I mean, there’s only so much Solitaire and Free Cell that one could play! If my free time is not spent playing games, then it is spent searching for free online game sites. As far as possible, I would only play games from sites that are free and do not need an installation. We don’t want the boss to catch us, do we?
My latest discovery is Net-Games. The name says it all! However, apart from games, there are also funny videos and pictures to amuse oneself. This is one up over other game sites, me thinks.
And then there are games that are sorted by popularity in the previous month or past 24 hours or games according to categories. Of course, we can also download the games if we wanted to.
I have a friend who actually OWNS a game site and he says it is a money making concern. Well, I am not surprised when there are so many people who just need to play some games to kill boredom daily!
Checking Out Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo’s DVD Vol. 2
It’s 5am over here and I am still up because I am watching the newly released Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo’s DVD Vol 2. If you have watched the first edition, you will know that this is the highly anticipated follow up.
I went to the Official Website daily waiting for news of this release and here I am, watching it and trying not to laugh aloud!
If you have watched the Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo anime before, you will know that this is a story of a guy with six feet long steel nose hair that he uses to beat the baddies. If you haven’t watched it before, I am sorry for scaring you! You may think what am I talking about a guy with power in his nose hair?
Well, watch Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo and expect to be blown away with oddball humor. Sometimes you just think that it is too outrageous, to insane to be believable and one obviously can’t get away with these things in real life but they never failed to make me laugh!
This DVD is released by Illumitoon and there are four episodes in the DVD. The funny thing is that the titles referenced FOOD. There’s Pasta… The Perfect Food!, Queen Chicken Level and the Video Store of Dumb and also We All Scream for Ice Cream! My, I am hungry already!
You may think that this anime is so childish but I bet that you will enjoy it along with your kids. Let your nose hair down and just enjoy the parody and jokes!
