For one thing the sites I’ve visited weren’t very user-friendly and the sites loaded too slowly. So i stopped using them and forgot about them all together.

But just recently, I came across this new (well, new for me anyway! It seems like this site has been up for a while already) site called Looklet. Honestly, it has great potential as a time-sucker! Hahaha.

What I love about Looklet is, its ease of use! The interface is easy to navigate thru and pretty straight-forward. It’s pretty much a drag and drop thing. The loading time is also amazingly fast and you get to see your virtual styling immediately.

And I love how realistic the photos look. It’s like you took a photo of the model wearing the actual clothes instead of it being computer generated.

And ofcourse, if you like the look you created, you can easily go to a website where you can actually order and buy the clothes! Love it! I just wish the online shopping feature of this site is accessible to the Philippines. It would be soooo easy to plan what to wear every single day! Do you know that I spend like 15 minutes standing in front of my closet, stressing about what to wear every day?!?!

Check out Looklet. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it as much as I did, if you’re a fashion-loving Gadgenista!

So yeah, animals + lightsabers == happy, geeky fun!

Omigod, I can’t stop giggling over some of the photos. The photo above is one of my favorites. I just can’t get over it. Bunnies with light sabers are waaaaay funny.

Just a little something to brighten up your day! And something to keep you occupied at work if your day is starting out a little slow (and maybe even stressful).

Hahaha, things bored people come up with. Funny!

Is anyone else a Tumblr user out there?

For those who don’t know what Tumblr is, Tumblr is basically a simple blogging platform that allows you to post text, images, videos, links, quotes and audio to a tumblelog.

Personally, if you’re going to ask me what Tumblr is, this would be my definition: Less than WordPress and more than Plurk.

You’re not limited to 140 characters like Plurk is. But the behavior of the content would be similar to Plurk. One liner posts on links, shared videos, funny photos and quotes. And compared to WordPress, it’s not as complicated. Want to share a link? Click “Link”, fill up the required information, click “Submit”. Easy peasy.

Anyhoo, I recently resurrected my Tumblr page and to my dismay, I discovered that people can’t comment on your posts. What the heck right? Where’s the interactivity?! Where’s the community building?! *raise fist*

Fortunately, a friend of mine mentioned that there’s actually a way for your to be able to add comments to Tumblr. *thank the Geek gods*

A few googles after, I discovered DISQUS.

DISQUS (pronounce as ‘discuss) is a platform made specifically for web comments and discussions. It can be used with any website, blog or application. Just add an html tags here and there… viola! Hello, comments!

The best thing about DISQUS: the comments stay even if the website goes away. I remember having that problem before. I wanted to migrate my Blogspot to WordPress. But I felt bad about leaving the comments behind. But with DISQUS around, I won’t be having that problem anymore!

Anyway, the story revolves around people and their daily issues and they create vlogs (video blogs) about it. It’s actually quite interesting! And one of the characters, Jed (aka Scott Michael Foster) is just sooooooooooo hot!!!! *drool*

And apparently, the Quarterlife website is also social network for creative people. It’s a place where you can express your art thru videos, music, poetry etc! And ofcourse, there’s a forum where you can share your ideas and even a classified section for jobs, etc.

I know YouTube is the best place to share videos but if you’re looking for a more community-based website, then Quarterlife.com would be a great option.

Hmmmm, ok, well…

OK, FINE! This post is just a sorry excuse to tell people how HOT Scott Michael Foster is, bwahahaha.

I’m currently watching the “Chelsea Lately” show (guilty pleasure! I know some people hate this show…) and Kim Kardashian was one of the special guest.

Anyway, Kim mentioned this website this website about having your own personal show stylist, called ShoeDazzle.com.

Sooo.. being the curious person that I am when it comes to shoes, I decided to check it out!

According to the website, for only $39 you get to have a stylist give you recommendations on what shoes suit your style… and you also get one pair of shoe per month! (Basically it’s like buying a shoe every month for $39)

Unfortunately for me, it’s only available to U.S. Residents so I won’t really get to try it out.

If you do, let me know how it goes!

I think I’ve encountered this website like a year ago, and I remember being addicted to one of it’s game.

Anyway, a friend of mine shared it again on Plurk the other day and I was just reminded of how much I visited this website before!

So, I’m sharing this to everyone! It’s the perfect website to visit if you’re bored. Their games are quite addicting and the graphics are pretty cute!

Do you have multiple Twitter accounts?

If you do, then I have the most awesome website for you!

Splitweet, the Twitter multi account manager!

I’m sure there are a lot of people like me who have two Twitter accounts, a personal one and a business one.

I used to update my personal account with Gadgenista updates, but then I realized that it’s better to make a separate account for Gadgenista updates as my readers probably won’t be too interested to know if I’m in the shower or what kind of food I’m eating at the moment, or which show on TV I’m watching or just any random, mundane thought that enters my mind.

So I created another Twitter account.

But then I realized, it’s so bothersome to keep on logging in and out of both accounts just to update them, so eventually my personal Twitter account became update-less for a while. Until now.

With Splitweet, you just need to go to one website to be able to update multiple Twitter accounts. You just choose which Twitter accounts you will send tweets to! You can send one tweet to one Twitter account or to ALL of your accounts. It even follows direct messages and replies for ALL, too!

Splitweet is also a brand monitor, meaning it follows all the tweets connected to a brand that you’re interested in knowing news about. For example, I want to monitor my brand, Gadgenista. So all tweets with the keyword  “Gadgenista” made by me and other people will be tracked by Splitweet. Pretty convenient!

Sorry Plurk, but apparently Britney Spears is now on Twitter (http://twitter.com/therealbritney)! How can you totally beat that?!?! And she has her own website, too! (BritneySpears.com)

I wonder if she’s really the one updating her Twitter or she has an assistant to do that, haha.

Anyway I have to admit (grudgingly, I never really liked her before) that I’m totally impressed with how Britney Spears managed to get her career back up!

And I’m totally loving her new song, Womanizer, hahaha. Can I just say LSS (Last Song Syndrome)? Oh, and the “I’m-a-woman-hear-me-roar” theme just totally entices the feminist in me, haha.

Oh, and did you guys see the totally shameless ad placement by Nokia on the Womanizer video? Hahaha.

Anyway, click here for the Womanizer video!
