capture your wedding day through the lens of family and friends

wedding videos are one of the first things to go when young couples begin making hard decisions to balance their nuptial budget. wedit is helping couples celebrate "their big day" for a lifetime by providing an affordable, fun and easy way to capture, edit and share all of their wedding memories through digital video. i mean, the man behind the idea is so brilliant i tell you. read on to find out more...

through the service, wedit loans five high-definition video cameras to wedding couples to allow their guests to film the wedding and reception, giving newlyweds a glimpse of their special day through the eyes of their friends and family. guests can capture candid and fun moments that a professional videographer would not be able to obtain at a fraction of the cost.

according to brett demarrais, CEO of wedit- most people don't get a video because of the price. it's true.

having a videographer film the event and edit the tape afterward often starts at $1,500; leaving many young couples happy to stick with just a photographer. wedit whittles that base price down to $500 by mailing five HD flip cameras so people attending the wedding can capture it. the cameras come with a pre-packaged box the newly married couple can send back to wedit, which will edit cameras and provide the final cut that can be mailed on a cd or posted on the internet.

wedit is already started doing a handful of test weddings this summer!

My Next Dream Vacation: Kissimmee, Florida~

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Kissimmee Tourism. All opinions are 100% mine.

When I was first been introduced to Kissimmee, in Florida, I really do not know of what to expect. But believe it or not people, I could guarantee you 100% -- it's the place that everyone have been looking for a great vacation. In other words, Kissimmee, also known as 'The Heart of Florida' is a one-stop vacation place for everyone.

And the best thingy is Disney World located right next door!

Basically, a day at one of Orlando's fabulous theme parks is a day like no other. I am very sure kids and adults alike too gonna love the theme parks in Central Florida. They are all going to be enthralled like others.

While at Universal Studios, you could imagine and soar above Hogwarts with Harry Potter, swing above the streets with Spider-Man, battle aliens alongside Agent J, help Shrek save Princess Fiona and create mischief with Bart Simpson *phew*

And there's more to venture at SeaWorld Orlando that takes families below the surface and above their expectations, while immersing guests in the mysteries of the sea, from up-close animal experiences and awe-inspiring performances to the next generation of thrills like Manta, a nothing-like-it-in-the-world experience that blends up-close animal discoveries with the thrill of a flying roller coaster ride.

Alright to all daddies/golfers out there, when nothing else matters but you and the ball, no worries; you could still swing your way there too where year-round warmth means that golf season lasts for 365 days. Whether you’re an aspiring pro or a duffer, you’ll find courses that will beckon you to return again and again.

And for all you people like me, what else could we ask for... if retail therapy is something that cheers your heart, you will love Kissimmee... the heart of Florida. In fact there are so many choices of products and brands to choose from Boutiques & Antiques, Farmer & Flea Markets, Outlets, Shopping Malls and also Specialty Shops. There so many of them I tell you...

So now what are you waiting for people. Visit this site to get to know more about this place and start planning your way to a dream vacation to Kissimmee...

Bright Beginnings Infant Formula

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of PBM Products. All opinions are 100% mine.

No, I am not pregnant, nor do I have infants BUT I do have several friends who are expecting and a great niece on the way so I like to keep up to date with all of the new baby products so I can stock up for them. Baby formula makes a great gift for new Mom’s but I suggest you wait until after the baby is born to see what kind to buy since all babies are different. The good news: they are all kinds of formula on the market and Parent’s Choice has a great variety to choose from.

When it comes to baby formulas there are always going to be several options at your fingertips. The three things that most people are most concerned about when picking one for their baby are how is the child going to react to it, does it provide all the nutrients needed and of course the cost!

Recently Parents Choice has decided it was time for a new look to the Bright Beginning brand of formula. It looks like they succeeded to me. I really like the new design. Not only is it attractive but it "pops" off the shelves.

Not just that, it also provides triple benefits for your baby:

1. Fortified with DHA & ARA, nutrients found in breast milk to support brain and eye development.


2. Prebiotics, like those in breast milk, to support a healthy immune system.


3. All the nutrients, vitamins, and minerals your baby needs for excellent growth and development during the first year.

Bright Beginnings Premium is nutritionally equivalent to the big national brand formulas – it’s just priced better to fit your family’s budget. Premium nutrition, without the premium price!

Talk to your pediatrician about which variety is the best for you and pick up some Bright Beginnings available at diapers.com . They have several offers going on right now ~ Free 1 - 2 day shipping on orders over $49, free returns and new customers get $5 off first order of diapers and formula!

I know breastfeeding is always best for your baby. Nothing can compare to breast milk. Not to mention so much cheaper, and/(or) no monies needed! But if you do supplement formula or feed your baby formula exclusively, consider store brand formula such as Bright Beginnings. They are just as good!

NMEDA continues growth as mobility issues amplify

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of NMEDA. All opinions are 100% mine.

Buying a wheelchair van is a major investment and there is no room for error. NMEDA (National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association) is a non-profit trade association of mobility equipment dealers, driver rehabilitation specialists, and other professionals dedicated to broadening the opportunities for people with disabilities to drive or be transported in vehicles modified with mobility equipment. All members work together to improve transportation options of people with disabilities.

Apart from a home, a personal vehicle is probably the biggest investment that most individuals make. To protect this investment and have a safe vehicle, look for the NMEDA Quality Assurance Program (QAP) designation in a dealer. Each NMEDA/QAP Dealer member is able to assist consumers in selecting the right modification that is needed. After the sale, consumers can depend on the NMEDA member dealer for expert installation and service of the equipment to keep the consumer mobile.

The Quality Assurance Program (QAP) is a nationally recognized accreditation program for the mobility equipment industry. The program was developed to promote quality, safety, and reliability within the industry. The QAP is the only program of this type developed for the mobility equipment industry. A QAP designation enhances vehicle modification and mobility equipment installation in a manner consistent with the highest guidelines established in the industry.

An accredited NMEDA dealer is one that chooses to participate in the QAP and that is inspected by an independent, third party for compliance with NMEDA guidelines and for review of training, insurance, welding certificates, and record keeping. The QAP designation binds modifiers to guidelines codified in Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, in-house crash testing programs, and proven shop practices that assure the highest level of performance safety.

I believe that it’s important to visit a qualified professional mobility dealer when shopping for wheelchair vans or wheelchair lifts to ensure that the equipment you are investing in is customized properly for your specific needs and lifestyle.

However, even with this wealth of information available, it’s difficult to know if a product such as a customized wheelchair van will work for you before you’ve physically tried it out. Visiting a qualified dealer allows you that "in-person" experience, and in addition, a dealer can also help you find available financing options and any additional adaptive equipment that may be necessary. That’s why I encourage you to visit a local retailer and learn about your options, rather than buying equipment sight-unseen online or from unknown third party resellers. You can easily find a dealer near you by visiting NMEDA homepage, hit the dealers locator and type in your ZIP code... Voila!

I hope that you can feel the support and effort that I am trying to put into maintaining excellence in the industry while researching and purchasing your mobility equipment!

let's try store brands to save more!

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of PBM Products. All opinions are 100% mine.

In spite of the great stride countries around the globe are doing, the economy is still slowly recovering. What's worse is that, I feel that life is a bit getting more challenging these days since the value of the dollar money continues to drop. In fact, surveys of 8 out of 10 supermarket shoppers nowadays have the same observation and felt that the economy has gone worse as well.

I used to buy branded items but now, I content myself in buying store brands. I think that they have the same quality as the national brands. I started with laundry powder~ and the result was awesome!

Taking for example this exclusive survey of shopping attitudes made by GfK Custom Research North America for the Private Label Manufacturers Association or PLMA. Below are some key findings on this ongoing consumer research based on a nationwide poll of nearly 800 grocery shoppers about Recession, Recovery & Store Brands:

• 62% of the respondents plan to buy more Store Brand products given the tough economy. I guess with the given economic crisis we still have now it is wiser to buy a certain product of same quality but at a lower price.


• Patrons of store brands are at all-time high with 57%. Consumers are patronizing Store Brand products more than national brands because they are getting the same but at a lower price.


• There are 43% of shoppers who are trying Store Brands for the first time who are also used to buy only national brands.


• Among those who switched to a Store Brand 97% of those are happy with their new choice.


• 49% shoppers who turned to Store Brands are satisfied with the price and quality comparing it to national brands.

I encouraged my friends to give the store brand a try. Based on my experience, they won’t notice a difference especially if it’s a dish washing liquid or laundry powder where they cannot taste the quality of the ingredients. This year I have started to become a frequent buyer of store brands. The majority of shoppers now say they purchase store brand products on a frequent basis.

So far, I save about more or less $50 a month by buying store brands. If Parent's Choice is available here, I would surely recommend that infant formula to my friends who have small children too ;)

bid and win!

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Bidazzled. All opinions are 100% mine.

Just like every one else, I came to love doing some online shopping— it's convenient, fast and easy way to get some things that we want and need. Apart from that, there are so many great choices and amazing deals we can find online these days that online shopping became better than on-site/in-store shopping.

And when it comes to the bidding and auctioning part, it's always very exciting and challenging for me. It's a great way to compete a little for what we want to get. The good thing about this auction/bid thingy is that you name your price and when you win, that's the best part because you get what you want for the price you want and willing to pay.

And now, let me introduce you to Bidazzled, a new online auction site that was launched recently in early November. They are redefining the online auction market by offering savings of up to 90% on name brand merchandise all while funding a charity. We all love to pay back to the community and this is why we like Bidazzled. It was designed and created to fund a lung cancer charity, which is the Ruch Foundation.

I believe we all have brief ideas how Penny Auctions or Pay-Per-Bid auction sites work. Commonly bids are purchased in advance and then used to bid on the merchandises. The price increases a few cents with each bid placed and a few seconds are added to the countdown clock to give others a chance to bid. The auction ends when no other bids are placed. So if a new laptop ends at just a dollar, then you win the laptop for a dollar!

Now, you could get yourself 15 additional bids when you use these codes until January 15th. :-

• BBP1202A for Blog; and


• BTP1202A for Twitter

*All you need to do is to enter the codes on the registration page. There is no obligation or cost of any kind. You can tell everyone about this great news.

Auction winners in Bidazzled usually save over 80% off the retail price. Even if you don't win, you could receive up to 50 Bonus Bids as a thank you for participating. In the first month, there were 2 winners of Nintendo Wii's who have won with just their 5 free bids! Unbelievable but it is real!

Bidazzled also has a lucrative Viral Referral program. Do check it out if you would like to know more about it!

holiday buying guide~

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Dirt Devil. All opinions are 100% mine.

Here in Malaysia, we are already entering the third week of year end school holidays. The time is radically moving fast. Megat's extra classes started even on the Saturday (first day) itself. The schedule has been arranged as such because Hari Raya Haji (Eid Adha) fell on the following Friday. Take note that Megat is schooling in a local Chinese primary school. He totally skipped the second week's classes, as he already followed his Wan Chik (auntie) back to KL on last Sunday. While as for me here, of course there's more stories to come soon.

I bet some of you are already shopping for gifts to give to your closed family, relatives and friends on this coming holiday. You might be looking for shopping outlets online and trying to see if you could extend your budget for gifts. In fact, you could. If you're only patient and diligent enough in finding the best deals online, you'll definitely find one. I can recommend one as I blog about it— Dirt Devil Holiday Buying Guide.

knows our way online...

warning: this blog post is certainly not to bring down anyone or anything. but it is thoroughly meant to remind everyone of the consequences in their action online. so do think wisely before you do any sort of things~

i was reading my twitter live feed earlier, when i clicked a link that was referring to local celebrities gossips by @amir_izwan just for the fun of it. and to my surprised, the website's favicon image is owned by SocialSpark!

blogging & law conference have said it all. although not everyone had the chance to attend it, but to steal other people's stuff are certainly not kewl...

so to whoever the site owner, its good that you replace it with other of your own asap. or worst come to worst don't use any for the time being until you create one of yours! where it will indicate your true identity... jmtc.

charter on demand...

If you’re using Charter digital in the United States then you’ll surely love this post. Not many of you know but having Charter digital means that you also have Charter on Demand. And the thing is that you don’t have to pay extra for it because it’s free.

This means that you won’t have to check TV schedules to see the time of your favourite show or when your children’s favourite cartoon starts. Charter on Demand has 6,000 movies and shows to watch at any time you want. And if you’re a busy person and you just missed your show or movie you can easily watch it for free the day after and avoid the fuss or going to a rental to get the movie you missed or waiting for it to arrive in your mailbox.

This is also great for parents. Children probably don’t understand TV schedules or just don’t have the patience to wait for their favourite cartoon to come on and start screaming, crying and so on. With Charter on Demand you can easily do your chores while your children are on the TV enjoying their cartoons no matter what day or time it is.

You can learn more at charter.net/ondemand and you can also get updates and fun extras on Charter’s Facebook page.

the truth about infant formula...

I remember that I wrote about the ever great benefits of breast milk depending with infant formula sometime this month (read my October 2009 archives). I am so lucky to be one of the many mothers in the globe who breastfed their children, even though I am petite *big grin*

I believe that no infant formula can substitute breast milk. Infant formula is a safe alternative to breast milk, but more people need to know the truth behind this breast milk substitute, especially when coping with guilt.

I don't condone those mothers that opt to use infant formula. They have different reasons for doing so. Most mothers that tend to use formula buy the more expensive brands thinking that they're giving their babies most of the benefits of breast milk. Infant formulas are all actually the same whether it is the most expensive brand or the store brand formula.

According to Dr. Barbara Levine from Weill Cornell Medical College, buying a heavily marketed, expensive, brand-name infant formula from a big pharmaceutical company does not get your baby any closer to human breast milk than a store brand formula. She also said that mothers can choose to supplement their breast milk with any formula because all formulas are regulated by FDA and nutritionally equivalent.

This message is set to become even more important for many mothers in the United States because of changes in the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program with effective 1 October 2009. For those who don't know WIC is a food and nutrition program to help pregnant women and families with young children. The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for WIC provides nutrition education, nutritious foods, breastfeeding support and information. The foods provided through WIC are a good source of essential nutrients. WIC improves the health of it's participants and promotes lifestyle changes. WIC participants have longer healthier pregnancies and fewer premature births. WIC is a short-term program designed to help families in the US build healthy eating and living habits that will last a lifetime!

A new WIC initiative aimed at increasing breastfeeding rates among families reallocates funding for all currently provided foods, including infant formula, baby foods, juices, and fresh fruits and vegetables. This program could mean a reduction of up to 20 percent in infant formula subsidies; parents who previously had most of their formula paid for by WIC may now have to purchase formula on their own.
