Signing up for Tomoson.com

I received an email yesterday, inviting me to sign up for a site called Tomoson.com. It's still in Beta, but they've been open for registration for bloggers who want to earn by reviewing products.

Registering is free and easy, you just have to provide some information like your name, email, blog URL, and the address where they'll be shipping the product to be reviewed. According to the site, Tomoson will send the products for free, though I think the shipping fee will be handled by the blogger/ reviewer.

On the site, you'll see a list of products that are ready for review. When you click on the hyperlink, you'll see the details of the product and the duration of the application for review. You can click on "Apply To Review Product" when you like to give your own opinions on it.

I've just registered but haven't chosen a product to review. The site needs a little more details on the FAQ (though they look legit because from their Facebook page, it says they're based in Minnesota). Well, I'll see in a few days if there are more updates for the site.

Till then, I encourage you to check out Tomoson. Who knows, this may be a great opportunity for us.

Mexico wins Miss Universe 2010 crown

Miss Mexico Jimena Navarrette
Yeah, I know I'm no model employee for getting online updates for the Miss Universe 2010. But I can't help it.

And after some hours of checking Tweets and updates from friends, I got the news: 22year-old Jimena Navarrette, Mexico's representative for this year's Miss Universe, won the much coveted crown.

The runner-ups are:

1st runner up: Miss Jamaica Yendi Phillips
2nd runner up: Miss Australia Jesinta Campbell
3rd runner up: Miss Ukraine Anna Poslavskaya
4th runner up: Miss Philippines Maria Venus Raj

Go, Venus!
Venus, even if you didn't get the crown, you're still a winner. You made it that far, so congratulations!

Got my EON Card today

Yep, exactly a week after applying, I got my EON Card from Unionbank. I've also enrolled an online account so I'd be able to check the funds I have in my EON.

Thing is, I haven't put money in my EON account. So that means I can't link it to my Paypal yet. I believe that the EON Card should have some money in it before I can link it to Paypal. Oh well, guess that would have to wait until Monday.

After that, I'll be able to lift the limitations of my Paypal account. Woohoo!

PS: That's not my actual card. Got that one from the Unionbank site.
