Dockers Commercial Contest

The Dockers contest gives contestants the opportunity to try their hands on making tv commercials. Each contestant is required to film a 30 seconds commercial for Dockers. Among the many commercials submitted, only ONE video will be submitted to NBC Universal to be considered as a commercial to be shown on the June 13th broadcast of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

I just browsed through the many videos already submitted for the contest and found a few entertaining commercials. The contestants certainly have put a lot of effort in making the video commercials considering that they are people just like you and me who do not have prior experiences in filming tv commercials.

There were a few video that caught my attention, but my favourite has to be the one entitled 'Dockers Temptation' by Payarn. View this video and others here. Don't worry about loading time, each video only takes a few minutes to load. You may vote for your favourite videos on the website or you may even submit your own video for the Dockers contest. Who knows this could be your big break in making it big as a tv commercial director! Visit the website for the rules and regulations for the contest.

Me and My DSLR

I admit i have been neglecting my DSLR for soooo long :(

I think i m just plain lazy to lug around that big camera around...heee...so i hve been keeping it safely in its bag... bleh ;p

but on Friday after work, me being in a such a jolly mood with the long weekend break and all...i finally brought my DSLR out for a stroll in my garden...

just a 1/2 hour walk and i find so many nice phototaking subjects in my very own garden!

did you miss my dog??? it has been a while since she appeared here...wahaha

anyway she says hi too 'x'

and there's even a stupid butterfly who wouldnt budge no matter how many shots i take of it...or...............is it...........*gulp*................................dddddead?

Suddenly i love my camera very much again 'x'

I look forward to the day when i can use the money i earn from paid posts to buy myself an external flash unit...wahahaha i hope its very soon!!! ;)

Pacific Ink

When you talk about printers, you think of 3 major brand names namely Canon, Epson and Dell. More often than not, when you consider buying a printer, you will think of the ink cartridges. Which ink cartridge is more affordable? easier to obtain? lasts longer? gives better print quality...

However, there are still not one ink cartridges which has all the pros. For instance, canon ink cartridges are known for being able to print good photos but Canon printers lack of selection. Whereas for epson ink cartridges , they also provide good photo printing and they use individual ink cartridges but Epson cartridges cannot be refilled. Dell printer cartridges on the other hand are refillable but the ink is unfortunately not that good compared to the other brands.

So if your printer has run out of ink and you need a reliable source, Pacific Ink could be your answer. I like the design of the website because it makes it easier for you to search for your desired ink cartridges. First you select your printer brand and then you can either enter your printer number or your cartridge number.

The website will then list out all the available ink cartridges that meets your criteria. What's more, they even let you save by offering discounts on top of the OEM price. This is certainly a good enough reason for you to buy your ink cartridges from Pacific Ink. Apart from ink cartridges, they also carry a range of refill kits.

They carry a wide variety of ink cartridges from the likes of Canon, Epson, Dell, HP, Lexmark and others. And the website also offers you a Pacific Ink resource center aiming to answer all your questions regarding ink cartridges. They even have an article detailing the pros and cons of various ink cartridges. This is what i call good customer service.

Stationery Spree

So i walked in to the bookshop without any intention of buying anything...cos i still have some reading material at home...

so i skipped over to the stationery section just to have a look and kill some time lar...

and i realized....hey! i need a penknife...

so i started picking one penknife after another and finally i found one that fits my budget...

then....*ting* i think i need some staples...to errrr..do....erm ....... i still cant think of the reason why i need staples...

eh....since im buying staples...i m not sure whether the stapler is still around...i think i lost it...yes yes.... so i need a new one....

so i picked a stapler...

so while i was choosing a stapler...i saw the tape dispenser....

OH! i need some tape...to ..ermm...wrap presents for Christmas???yes yes ...

(sorry, i just had to show off my french manicure...BWAHAHAHA)

i was a little surprised when the cashier handed me my receipt......

so when i went home and happily unpacked my new bought goodies...i saw a big stapler on my desk =(

and i thought to myself...but you dont have staples...

so i rummaged around and i saw a box of staples....GAHHH!!!

anyhoo...its cheap...not much harm done....bleh :P

so who wants to auction for a stapler and a staple? we shall start with 10cents......11cents?do i hear 12 cents?.......

My Manga Character

I am sure most of you would have already heard of Bleach the anime series which has taken the world by storm! If i were to choose a manga character name, i would choose Hitsugaya Toushirou. He is considered a child prodigy in the series and is the youngest ever to reach captain rank! His cool demeanour makes him even more admirable!

for lunch...we decided to try out the food court at the spring...cos we've never eaten there...
we walked round and round and round and could not decide what to eat. That was a sign! we should have walked straight out! but instead we decided to give this stall a chance...

onion ring tasted like plastic :( i practically left them untouched
hotdog bun was as puny as my little finger...ok! i am exaggerating a bit here! :P

one quarter chicken for RM3.50

do u call that a quarter chicken???????? i call that FOUR PIECES OF CHICKEN!

They obviously need some math lesson 'x'

byebye Ipoh Kopitiam...

Keep the spark going!

Well, it might not be that big a secret by now...since i've already done a few paid posts from SocialSpark...but hey! i've just joined SocialSpark! hehehe

If you are a beginner in doing paid posts, i would recommend SocialSpark. One thing that i really really like about SocialSpark is that, you do not get opportunities based on your Page Ranking!!! Which is like the best thing ever to happen to us poor people who have low page ranking :(

SocialSpark practices the following code of ethics :

-100% Audit-able In-Post Disclosure
-100% Transparency
-100% Real Opinions
-100% Search Engine Friendly

Based on my personal experience of SocialSpark over the past 2 weeks or so, the few things that i particularly like about SocialSpark is that :

1. You get to add friends in SocialSpark just like any networking websites. The good thing about this is, i can message them to ask them for help when i needed them. That is how i first found out how things work in SocialSpark!


2. You do not need a high Page Ranking to get certain opportunities! Yes! i really love this feature! =)


3. Even if you are not qualified for a certain post and you really really want to do that post cos you feel strongly about the product...by all means, send a message to the advertiser to request for the opp
   


4. I do not have to post my Disclosure Policy on my blog cos every paid posts will be accompanied with a Disclosure badge which i think is pretty convenient


5. I can reserve an opportunity for up to 12 hours! This works pretty well especially for working people, you don't get to sit in front of your PC to write paid posts all the time right???

And that's just the tip of the iceberg, SocialSpark not only enables you to write sponsored posts, but you could also get blog sponsorships which pays you on a daily basis or you could accept a Spark which is although free, but you in turn get some free advertisements of your blog or services.

That is why, SocialSpark calls itself a social media marketing, blog marketing and a blog advertising website!

One great thing about SocialSpark is, i get to say what i want about the products. Instead of being restricted to only do positive reviews which i think is pretty fake and pointless, isnt it?

If you are feeling tired of being slapped with a big ZERO for your page ranking and are not getting anymore sponsored posts from your current blog advertising...switch to SocialSpark! This comes highly recommended from Pink Cotton! =)
