“Try Google it!”
“Can you FedEx the package to me?”
I’m sure you’ve heard a similar variant of the above sentences. Brand names are very important and famous brand names like Google and FedEx are so popular that they are commonly used as noun. I’m not sure if these two big brand names have made it to the Oxford Dictionary, though. Can anyone check? Anyway, if you’re interested, there are 9 other wonder brands that have successfully made it to the Oxford Dictionary. Can you guess what brands are they?

It’s always a problem for tourist to decide where to eat and enjoy a nice dinner when they go travelling. When I went for a trip to Spain few months ago, I had a hard time deciding which restaurant to go. You’ll be surprised that expensive places don’t necessarily translate to good quality, so the best is to read reviews about a particular restaurant before you decide to eat there.
And you can do exactly that in TrustedPlaces. It’s a well designed website with details and reviews of interesting places to visit. This is a community driven website so you get various reviews by actual people who visited the place. For example, if you happen to visit London and have no idea where to eat, they have a section on london restaurant with a list of restaurants and their reviews. Not only that, there are maps to guide you to the place as well, which makes it really useful for people who aren’t local to the place.
I’ll definitely use this guide when I visit London next time. Eating out in London is expensive, so I really want to make sure I get the most out of my “investment”. =)
This is a funny poster advertisement by O.B. When I first saw this poster, I was wondering what is so funny about it. It says, very very absorbant. Hmm…At first I thought it’s the swimsuit but then I thought, what’s the point of having an absorbant swinsuit?
A quick google on O.B and then I realised how funny it is. This is actually an ad for O.B tampon! OMG…how creative! LoL!

It seems like the interest rate in the UK is going to keep rising. It has been rising a lot recently and obviously this is a good news for people with savings. But what about those with mortgages? The rise of interest rate will cause a lot of problems to such people, including driving them into bankruptcy.
Who is at fault, really? Some people argued that banks are partly responsible due to the fact that they are lending money too easily to people without taking into account on whether they can really make the repayment or not. This then lead to bad debt and eventually drive people to bankruptcy. However, I don’t really think the bank has to take all the blame in this case. It is the responsibility of the public to be more informed about the ins and outs of a mortgage before taking them. People are still ignorant about a lot of things that relates to mortgages and home loans, such as the fact that there are things like mortgage payment protection and remortgages that might help them avoid bankruptcy or bad debt. Therefore, before taking up a mortgage, do your homework and weigh the pros and cons to avoid getting into trouble in the future.
The experiment involving mixing mentos into coke to create a mini explosion has been produced in videos and distributed widely across the internet. It’s quite an old story now and I’ve also introduced some videos in the past relating to this experiment, such as the Extreme Diet Coke + Mentos Experiment and Domino Effect with Diet Coke + Mentos. Amazing, aren’t they?
Now, what if we mix mentos with a pint of Calsberg beer? The result is simply beyond your imagination. Watch the video and you’ll see what I mean!

When I first visited this online dating site called Sober Seek, I was wondering why did they name it as such? Then, I realised …probably it’s related to getting to know people with the help of alcohol. In fact, I heard from my friends that their main purpose of getting drunk is to help them to open themselves up a little bit and gain a bit of courage to walk up to girls. Well, I’m not really interested in such an approach. I guess this website has the same concept as mine, ie it is always best to meet and get to know people in a sober state of mind. According to the site, is also a dating site for people in recovery and people living a sober lifestyle. So, anyone up for some sober dating?
