    Disclaimer: All words written here are my own. Nobody (not even Travelicious) persuaded me to write in this manner. I am just telling my firsthand experience with the site to hopefully clarify all doubts and […]

    • Why did you stop? Why not hit us with the rest of the info here.

      You know getting some first hand testimonial from people who have tried things first has a great way of motivating someone into doing the right thing.

      • Sorry for the cliff hanger! All parts were written but it is taking quite a while to get appr

      • argh! As I was saying, I had the entire testimonial series submitted but it is taking some time to get approved. I see you have read the second part which contained the payment proof but I am still waiting o. the third part to cap it off (ie why you should consider it for yourself). I don’t get anything by telling this but there has been doubts on the site especially because there is the ‘catch’ with the paid domain but I hope that online earners would re-consider since it really pays anyway.

    • I think this site is for serious Travel bloggers who are not blogging to get pennies apart from the Pounds.

      • Probably it is since there is a sort of “investment” when you buy a domain. But judging from some of the articles submitted on the site, they really do accept all proficiency and command of the English language. So even if you are not overly confident on your English, you can earn from the first article. 🙂

    cessy08 wrote a new post, Comfort eating: Sauteed Pork Mince with vegetables 8 years, 3 months ago

    Minced meat is often used in my cooking. There are just a lot of things you can do with it not to mention it is usually a lot cheaper than other cuts of meat. I am not particular with the lean option, too. We are […]

    • I like both versions. Yours and your husband’s. Yummy either way. 🙂

      • Thanks! 🙂 I don’t often cook it with tomato passata and stick with what I grew up with because I don’t want to have a lot of leftover passata inside our fridge (unless I plan to cook another tomato-based dish again).

    • thanks for your share. This minced meat recipe is similar to our chinese version too, however, we don’t mix with vegetables, instead, we used chopped chinese black mushrooms and oyster sauce.

      • Oh, I think I tried that version before, too! 🙂 I also cook pork mince in oyster sauce and add spring onions and mushrooms but I use just the regular button mushrooms as it is the cheapest option here. Asian vegetables often cost twice in comparison to locally produced vegetables. Well it makes sense anyway. Probably to cover for taxes and importation costs.

    • Yeah it is super easy to cook. I think it literally took me 45 minutes (including prep time) to finish the entire dish! It took me a lot longer to chop the vegetables in tiny cubes, LOL!

    I love crackers, especially when am hungry i eat them very well even without jam or cream. but they usually are tasteless when they have nothing on them so i would rather have them with jam just to sweeten them a bit

    Soup is a good source of healthy living, though i don’t like soup as such it has never been a favorite but when i am offered i do take and it should be spicy for me to take it otherwise i can’t swallow it. the soup that i don’t like is the tomato soup i don’t like the taste.

    I never used to like oats when i was younger but my mum always made it a must to have them, then we also had porridge in the mix as well, and i guess that was mandatory to us though it was very nutritious for growing kids.

    Treathyl FOX wrote a new post, Watching Korean Drama Online With English Subtitles 8 years, 3 months ago

    One of my kids called recently. My daughter answered her cell phone and my other daughter was wanting to know if I was busy. My daughter says: “Uuuhh … she’s absorbed in one of her K-dramas right now.” Absor […]

    • There was a time when I was so addicted with K-dramas (around the same time as My Sassy Girl). To be honest, I don’t have much time to watch TV these days but I know a lot of people who stream online to watch. They are freelancers as well and they say it is bad for the business, LOL!

      • Watching the series is a very time consuming activity. So that I don’t feel too guilty for the time spent, I try to write reviews and publish them at my different blogs or in the blogging communities where I am active. Plus I like sharing my opinions with others so they can put the programs on their watch list and have fun too! 🙂

    • You got me now !
      I am a K-pop fanatic and K drama too.
      Right now, I am watching Doctors and Beautiful Mind, all are related to doctor, romantic genre.
      I can’t use viki nor dramafever because malaysia is not one of the country supported by these sites.
      So, I watch online through dramanice.eu or dramacool.

      I also love runningman and the return of superman ( kids edition)
      With the english subs, you don’t have to subscribe any tv channel now.

      • Oh how I wish there were no borders. There are some sites I find with a show I really want to watch and then I get that dreaded message “This site is not available in your country.” Fell like screaming! The disappointment is so hard to bear. Anyway! Could be worse. Suppose none of the sites were available in my country. It would be like living in the Dark Ages. 🙂

    • I really really love Korean dramas. Ever since in high school, I am already hooked with them especially when I watched Moon Embracing the Sun and My love from the Star which were translated in our language. Another good Korean drama is the rooftop prince. If only I have stable internet connection and a good computer, I will surely watch other entertaining dramas. The most famous kdrama in the Philippines today is the Descendants of the Sun. Song Joong-ki is very handsome.

      • “Moon Embracing the Sun” was on Netflix. I started it and got distracted. Went back to look for it and it had been removed from the database. Then my husband found “Tamra the Island”. So I watched that. Eventually, I did find the TV series and got a chance to watch it all the way through. I loved it!!

        I found a list of Top K-dramas published on YouTube and I sort use it to help me select a series. Right now I’m in between two shows. In America, we have an expression. If we say a child is “born with a silver spoon in their mouth”, that means almost everything works out well for that child in their life. Well in these two K-drama series, both girls were born with a “golden spoon”. Things go well for them and then extra good stuff gets piled on! 🙂

    • Yes. Sometimes when I take my lunch break during the day, I’ll watch an episode while I’m eating. Then late at night, after I have accomplished most of my work for the day, I may watch one or two episodes and then force myself to turn off the computer. I takes will power but I shut down! 🙂

    • I am an active member at a discussion forum that has many members from the Philippines. Whenever I publish a quickie review of a Korean drama they are always enthusiastic about it.

      It’s hard for me to find good K-dramas on YouTube in the USA.

      Watching the K-dramas has taught me a lot about the history and some of the language.

      I like the love triangle theme because I pick the “best couple” right from the start, and then go through the whole series to see if in the end, I picked the right one! It’s so fun!! 🙂

    • Sometimes its very exhausting watching a korean drama with an english subtitle i cannot even concentrate with the character of the actor or actress in the story i usually read the subtitle knowing what they were saying. For me, i think it is much better to dubbed it in tagalog which i could easily understand and relate. My favorite korean drama is descendant of the sun, a phenomenal hit who touch the heart and lives of the filipinos. Even the background music of it is perfect. You would absolutely fall in love with the story! I really love the plot, the character, and the heartwarming love story between the hero and the heroine it seems very different and unsual to the other korean drama i used to watch. Hope to have a second season of descendant of the sun.

      • For sure if I would love to find the movies “dubbed”. That would be fabulous! Watching with the English subtitles is exhausting. Especially if you have weak eyes. But it’s funny. I find myself learning Korean words and phrases. Then I get excited! To my husband and my kids, I’m like: “Oh! Oh! Guess what? I know how to say father, mother and big brother in Korean! Yes!! And I can ask What? And Why?” You never know. It might come in handy one day! 🙂

    • We used to get a show called ‘Sansun’ in Ja. It did pretty well but we were addicted to a Bollywood show which was dubbed called ‘Strange Love’
      it was Iss Pyar Ko Kya Nyam Doon

    • My Daughter in law was hooked with Korean soap operas. She did not miss an episode. In fact, when she came to visit us in Virginia, she would go to you tube and catch up on the episodes she had missed. I might go to you tube or netflix and check some of these movies. If they have some suspense, action and drama, that might be a way to spend a lazy Saturday night. Thank you for sharing. Article well written.

    • Trends and styles keep changing rigorously but some styles always attract people. Similarly, Gold glitter nail polish not only adds bling to your outfit but also matches with almost everything. You neither have to worry about matching your nails to your dress nor to the season. Not only this, gold glitter nail polish has an extra benefit that it can be worn along, on top of another colour, or can be used in nail art designs.

      But along with so many positive points, there comes a problem. As there is a large variety of gold glitter nail polishes available in market, you can get confused about which one to choose out of all. So, here we have tried to help you out by describing the features of so many different but pretty gold glitter nail polishes.

      The unique feature of this nail polish out of all others in Skyfall collection is that it consists of actual gold flakes. This nail polish does not give a solid gold finish but the finished product is a clear base with gold flakes throughout. The price of this nail polish is on a higher side.

      Part of the China Glaze Eye Candy 3D Glitters Winter 2011 Collection, China Glaze Blonde Bombshell is a mixture of fine yellow-gold glitter, a very small amount of fine bar glitter and larger but still small, round specks of yellow-gold glitter. This super shiny and super golden nail polish looks very pretty and attractive.
