I have been with Advertlets for months now. Well, you must have been hit hard with all those news, blog posts and comments about these two popular blog-advertising middleman, Nuffnang and Advertlets. Everywhere you go you will see some Nuffnang supporters, and some Advertlets supporters, some even flaming or b!tchslapping each other and debating which one is better.

Not that im greedy for money, but cant we have the best of BOTH worlds?

Media advertising is a tricky business, its like choosing between Jessica Alba or Paris Hilton.

Die edy lo now, how to choose? 

 

Here, we are to face the same question, Advertlets or Nuffnang?  These things always conflict with each other, because they are competitiors (advertising ma). Which one to put higher? Which one to take more space on you blog? Being greedy, if you put ALL OF THOSE advertisements on your blog, its a turn off. I dont feel like visiting any blog which is filled mostly with ads ALL OVER THE PAGE. Im not saying you cant be money oriented but too many advertisements is really really disturbing. Not to mention we load it with streamyx slowpoke speed.

Recently, Nuffnang ads have been pouring in to my blog, so I decided to give them a try. After all, listening to people wont do, you must experience and evaluate them yourself.

I have yet to receive any cheque from Nuffnang, (as I said Im just starting to give them a try), almost cashing out though. The same goes to Advertlets, but I have cashed out on OCT 11. Exactly 3 months now but I’m yet to get my cheque. Hmn, a lil worried thats all. You see, when people are cashing out, they get pretty excited, Not to say that we are impatience or anything, its just tiring that bloggers cant get thier cheque fast when they are anxiously waiting for the day the cheqeu to come!

Based on first impression:

Advertlets:

CPM ads, even if your blog does not have high visitors, these few would probably click on those irresistible deals such as food promotions.

Sometimes they let you do review. This is when u get to do crazy stuffs like camwhoring with your advertlets stickers :)

Nuffnang: I find thier ads, more interactive and eye-catching. A lot of their ads involves users to check out the advertisement.

You get a lot of cool advertisers and advertisement.

Hope im not stating the obvious like everyone do!:)

So, who will win?

When u say, you dont care about looks and appearance, the heart is what matters most, is it true?

imnot sure if you guys see this shop anywhere else. but its called:

dsc00565.JPG

EMO Bookstore.

Its our Monash University Sunway Campus Bookstore. and it DOES get you emo.

I was emo because for my Australian Business Statistics Book, i bought it for RM73 instead of RM65 if i just walk over to Sunway University Bookshop which is just nearby!

I even asked for discount from them!

AdrianC: Any discounts for monash students?

although i sounded a bit sarcastic.

Lesson learnt, never buy things in a hurry. EMO bookstore gets you EMO! however even when they charge overpriced candy stuffs, ppl just buy from them. there is no other places to go. i do get my dailydosage of clorets(for your info i dont have bad breaths but according to the advertisement on tv i can get a princess to marry me…nice refreshing breath is better than looks, they say la) from them too.
anyway try not to get near them. or u will get emo.

should i forgive them? after all even my blog name is ‘emo’ cha.net :p

heloooo updatesss

Everybody wants to be thin. Everybody wants to be as sexy as Halle Berry, Marion, Hannah T or Paris Hilton. Or as awesome as the lick-able chad micheal murray muscular body.

Recently, a bride who had her stomach stapled died of starvation.

emmalouise_228×497.jpgstomachstappledm_468×531.jpg

Emma Favell, 32, paid a Belgian clinic £7,000 to carry out the radical procedure and within six months her weight dropped from 23 stones to 15 stones.

The nurse, from Burton upon Trent, spent months researching the treatment before picking out a Sint Blasius clinic in Belgium, where the procedure is carried out for half the £14,000 price tag in the UK.

During stomach stapling, surgeons usually close off some of the patient’s small intestine, leaving a smaller area where food and gastric juices can mix.

This gives them the sensation of being full after eating a smaller meal than normal.

The inquest heard that in Mrs Favell’s case, surgeon Jacques Himpens had left only a 30cm (11.8in) length of small intestine free instead of the recommended 75cm (29in).

Pathologist Manuel Sotres said this was “not enough to ingest enough food to keep someone alive”.

Coroner Andrew Haigh recorded a verdict of accidental death, but said the operation was partly to blame.

He said Mrs Favell’s death was due to multi-organ failure, protein malnutrition and malabsorption due to weight-loss surgery.

We hear news like this all the time. And sad to say that sometimes it doesnt have to turn out this way. Does the society now only care for looks?

Its common to hear that weight is an issue nowadays. As people have more money and the food are getting more and more delicious, a lot of people have weight problems. Food is no longer a survival object but a cure to temptation, desires and food cravings. And a lot got dumped by girlfriends and boyfriends because of one reason too: “You are TOO FAT! and HES More Handsome. At least he has some puny ABS!” “OMG SHES SO SEXY”. “how come i only see meat on you?”. Of course, those words are really painful to hear. and a lot of people are actually looking for weight loss programs and even extreme starvation diet. However do keep in mind that the best way out of this is through proper diet and exercise. It is easy to gain weight but its not easy to lose weight. Everybody knows that but there is never an easy way out.
