While canvassing on online language courses, I encountered a social networking website wherein teachers and students from all over the world can actually mingle. The website’s name is mingle only with a “Y” – mYngle.com. It is a free avenue for language teachers and students wherein one can choose your own teacher or student depending on your specific needs, availability and price.
It generally “offers a solution by providing both students and teachers in different locations with a complete online language instruction platform, containing all resources needed for synchronous e-learning.” What’s I like about this program is that students can opt to avail of a demo lesson with your selected teacher before you have to pay anything. This will definitely save you a lot of cash and ensure that you will really get what you paid for. I might try it one of these days…

As I’ve mentioned before, and all my friends can attest to this: I am a discount addict. Some even call me the bargain princess, and I am proud of it. I mean, why pay for something that you could have for less, or even for free?
Being a certified discount addict, imagine my giddiness level when I found out about a Firefox extension that alerts you with discounts just before you buy! Yep, it’ll tell you discounts like jewelry tv coupon before you purchase any item. You can add the extension here: http://www.retailmenot.com/firefox.php. I saw this in RetailMeNot, a coupon site internet that is a very useful Web 2.0 or social networking site because every one of the discounts you see there is rated by the community on its effectiveness.
I wonder what discount plugins I’ll discover next?

After a three-day busy and filling weekend, I decided to tone it down by firing up my laptop and doing some random internet browsing. As always, I found something interesting – a dress up games site online.
Yep. There’s a dress up game online wherein there are dress up dolls in different categories. Some of the categories are anime, fantasy, historical and celebrities which feature popular movie stars like the cast of the high school musical (Ashley Tisdale, Zac Efron, etc.). Unbelievable? Well then, check out Cartoon Doll Emporium’s website. With sites like this, why would anyone want to settle for paper dolls?
