wedding anniversary

today's my wedding anniversary - got reminded of the time past when we
found travel documents of our stay at turi beach at batam back in
1997..the last trip before the wedding.

was thinking of how fast time flies & what has happened since then &
definately counting my blessings :)

Great mags (digitalized!)


Discovered this GREAT solution to getting magazines (overseas to boot!) digitally! Website is www.zinio.com. I have tried out with Reader's Digest (US version) to see how it looks - the result is WOW! never knew that it could even be so fun!!! 


PLUS points: 
  • environmentally friendly cos no paper & the headache of finding space to keep them!!
  • for those who like to keep some pages - there's a print option! (haven't used it myself but the idea is cool! esp since i only keep like 2-3 pages if ever?!) 
  • I can download up to 3 copies of the same mag - best for those who like me, use a Mac & Windows at home & a Windows comp at work (of course I read only during lunch breaks! (NOT!))
  • price! price! price! 13 issues of Readers Digest for USD10! (usual $38.97) - in local pricing, it's lesser but hey! I am not complaining.....besides, I love the magazine but I can't take all the trash mail that comes along with it (contests, sweepstakes etc) that is like an avalanche when you subscribe to that magazine! 
  • you can enlarge into the page you are reading
  • I have downloaded some other mags for my yoga, healthy living & elle decor & found that they sometimes come with embedded videos/music!!! Hyperlinks direct to the web (no more making a webpage note to check out stuff!)  
Not so cool points.....don't have titles like "Oprah", "Instyle", local magazines or even hub's fav, Man U mag. Not readable on iPhone (on-the-go) 

Anyways, I get to send a copy of the mags I have subscribed to friends so send me a comment if you wanna a try!
