Posted in Hot giveaway  by redamethyst 3 Comments
Before I continue with my blog reviews for Yuuki’s Twin Blogversary Contest, I want you inform you all about K’s Blog Make Over Giveaway. It would be nice to have a beautiful template that fits your blog. Just like my template, I just got this for free when I searched for a free blogger template. But it would be nicer to have a personalized template because the tendency of a free template is that you might land a blog that looks exactly like yours. It happened in my personal blog. Oh anyway, if you want a personalized template you should join K’s Blog Make Over Giveaway.

Techie Liz

Posted in website, Yuuki's contest  by redamethyst 4 Comments

Techie Liz is a new blog of Liz, hehe who else. Now, I can not count how many blogs Liz maintains with different niche. I wonder how she manages her time between her blogs, her work, her lovelife and her hobbies.

Did you see Liz in front of the PC. She is very pretty, right? Heheh.
I really can not comment on the layout of this site because it is still new. It was born because Liz is so inspired last February 2010. I know she is planning something really cool and intersting with her new site. This is a four months old blog that contains three really informative posts and screen shots on Removing Antivirus 7, Removing Vista Security Tool and on Removing PE_Sality Infection. I am just excited to see more updates on this site soon.

This blog review is an entry to Yuuki’s Twin Blogversary Contest. If you haven’t join this contest, you still have time to join. :-)

New Sandals

Posted in footwear  by redamethyst 6 Comments

This is my son’s new Sandals. A tribu foot wear. We bought it at Php 382.50 or about $9. It was on sale at Megatrade, Megamall last Thursday.

I myself have a tribu sandals similar to my son and I am so comfortable with it. It is durable too, I’ve been using my sandals for more than two years now. That’s why I know my son would love his new sandals too. He is very active and I know the sandals can keep up with him since tribu sandals are known for being outdoor partners, it can be used in trekking, mountaineering, running, & of course walking. It’s curve design makes it even more comfortable the straps are adjustable.My son is excited to use it, he will be using it today when we go to The Feast at Valle Verde

The Thoughts of Tsinay

Posted in website, Yuuki's contest  by redamethyst 5 Comments

This is a blog review for The Tsinay Writes as an entry to Yuuki’s Twin Blogversary Contest.

Tsinay is commonly used for females who has a Chinese blood and is living in the Philippines. Sam, the author of The Tsinay Writes, is obviously a Tsinay. As she said she has Chinese descendancy but was raised in the Philippines. Just imagine growing with a mixture of Chinese and Filipino traditions.

The simple layout is just right with pink and green designs on a white background. The sidebar is clean containing just the essential things like archives, tags, blog vitals and of course the adgitze and entrecard widgets which are common for blogs. The header contains a girl that looks like a typical tsinay, it also contains “The not so random thoughts of a not so Random Tsinay.” I think this is the subtitle or description of the blog. Anyway, the content of this site is really about the random thoughts of Sam, who is a Tsinay.You can read Sam’s thoughts about politics, TV shows, or even about herself or just about anything that pops on her head.  I enjoy reading this blog and I have been a follower ever since this site became live. I also invite you to read how The Tsinay Writes.

The Blogger Hub

Posted in website, Yuuki's contest  by redamethyst 4 Comments

This is a blog review for The Blogger Hub as an entry to Yuuki’s Twin Blogversary Contest

Being a blogger would force you to learn many things, both techie and non-techie stuffs. Blogging is not only a way to earn online, to express our thoughts and feelings and at the same time it is also a learning path for us. This is why Sam gave birth to The Blogger Hub. Though she is not a graduate in computer related course she learns so much with blogs and codes. She designs and code her own blog, and even my personal blog. This blog is dedicated to sharing all the techie stuffs she learns. I even learned from her about the do-follow and no-follow comment section of a blog. There is a lot to learn in this blog’s informative posts.

It is very easy to navigate this simple two columns layout with three columns footer. The availability of tags and archives, and about section is very helpful. So, whether you are a newbie blogger or not, you will find interesting and informative topics here.

Sam’s Life and Loves

Posted in website, Yuuki's contest  by redamethyst 3 Comments

This is not the first time that I will do a blog review for A Mom’s Life and Loves. If I remember it right, I did a blog review for another contest about three months ago. But this time this blog review is an entry to Yuuki’s Twin Blogversary Contest.

Sam is the author of this blog. She is one of the few bloggers that I met when I was still starting my blog.She was still pregnant that time, and time really flies fast because her baby Sanjo is almost a toddler now, as I read on her recent post that Sanjo is already sitting on his own.I still love the simplicity of her blog, two columns template with floral and pink, blue, and yellow background. The side bar is clean, with the must read on the top portion. Her babies (blogs) badges are also displayed. Maybe adding archives or categories would be helpful for her visitors. This site talks about her life and loves, she brags about her family especially her kids, her gadgets, health and anything about her.  I am an avid follower of Sam, and I’m sure your time won’t go to waste if you visit her A Mom’s Life and Loves.

Are you a Drama Queen?

Posted in website, Yuuki's contest  by redamethyst 3 Comments

This is a blog review for Drama Queen as an entry to Yuuki’s Twin Blogversary Contest. This is also a blog of Yuuki herself, the host for the said contest. I am not new to this site and I have visited it not just once. Black symbolizes power, sexuality, sophistication, elegance and wealth. But it can also mean, mystery, sadness, or even mourning. The black color is very powerful, it denotes different meaning and this is the background of Drama Queen.

The background color fits the theme of the blog, usually drama is connected with sadness, as you know all the soap opera around, they go series of sadness first before having a happy ending. The girl on the banner is just perfect for the Drama queen. I also like the clean three columns template with just essential things on the sidebar, like labels, archives, ranks, adigitize and entrecard. Different buttons are also found on the left side bar which belongs to her contest sponsor. One thing I noticed is that the navigation menu is not linked properly, when I clicked it I am directed to a different site.

Yuuki is so addicted to Asian dramas, and this site is dedicated to that. It may be Korean Dramas or Taiwanese Drama or even Japanese Drama. Though, she claims that she is a drama queen, she stay away from shows that have too much drama in it. She prefers light drama or romantic comedy. She also believes that life itself is a drama. If you believe this statement, and is a Asian drama fanatic too, don’t forget to bookmark Drama Queen.
