Send Money Through Friendster

Friendster, probably the biggest social networking site at least among Filipinos, has introduced the “Send Money Feature”, utilizing the Globe GCash Money Transfer.

I tried to click on the link but it redirects me to the Friendster mobile page.  I think they are still rolling out this new feature.

The “Send Money” feature could be both an advantage or disadvantage.  It offers a convenient way to send money to friends online for only P2.50 (only available to Globe and Touch Mobile subscribers).   Or it may turn into a medium for scam online.  Just like how the Paypal scams who have deceived millions of users.  Hmm, we’ll see.

Rihanna was ought to perform for the first time in Kuala Lumpur this Friday but due to recent events involving her and her boyfriend Chris Brown, who was under investigation for assaulting the former.

The said concert was sold out but the concert organizers had to postpone it due to the incident. The fans were maybe disappointed about the postponement of the concert but surely they understood, according to the organizers. The date of the concert (or whether it will be pushed through or canceled) will be announced in two weeks.

Although this brought bad news to her Malaysian fans, they’re sure happy that Rihanna has been discharged from the hospital, after reportedly sustaining bruises, described by some as “horrible”.

Confessions of a Shopaholic Movie Reviews

Another great, feel good movie that is about to hit the wide screen is the adaptation of Sophie Kinsella’s bestselling novels of the same title, “Confessions of a Shopaholic” and “Shopaholic Takes Manhattan”. It stars Isla Fisher as Rebecca Bloomwood, Hugh Dancy as Luke Brandon, Joan Cusack as Jane Bloomwood, John Goodman as Graham Bloomwood, and
Krysten Ritter as Suze.

The movie will be released on February 13, 2009. It is about a 25 year old Rebecca, who lives with her best friend Suze in Suze’s flat (paying her friend rent that is well below market value), in a trendy part of town. Rebecca has a very boring job writing for a financial magazine. She has a shopping addiction and her crap job doesn’t pay enough. Her bills are piling up, so she tries cutting back (complete fiasco), then she tries making more money (another fiasco). Eventually, Becky discovers a story that she is truly invested in. Exposing the story gets the attention of a colleague that she hasn’t quite figured out yet. Some drama ensues as she snags the guy, and she attempts to pay off her ever-growing debt. From IMDb.com.
