I Was Here All Along!

Today while I was waiting for the bus, a group of old ladies came to the front and stood a little off to the side. Then slowly, and slowly, they nonchalantly budged in front of me.

I find it very amusing, albeit a little annoying, that they would think I won't notice them cut in front of me. They pretended they where in front of me all along! Hahaha.

They were old ladies - I forgive them.

Free Zune!

Woot! I received my free 8GB Zune in the mail recently. This was part of Matchstick's word of mouth promotion and I was lucky enough to qualify! I was already considering getting it as it has FM radio which is a great plus!

The Zune is pretty sweet! It is so pretty. Even the box is nice. Haha. I can also transfer songs and pictures wirelessly between Zune users! Cool eh? I added all my pictures from my gallery onto it so I can show people.

I think I can download some games to play on it too. I'll have to experiment some more.

Now something for you guys:

As part of the promo, you all have a chance to win up to $500 in Amazon.com gift certificates!

Here's how:
Log on to ChatThreads.com and enter 102 986 0387 for the Conversation ID and you'll be entered to win a $500 Amazon.ca gift card! You can also tell your friends about it and give them the conversation ID if you talk about the Zune.

I so love it. So what do you guys think of the Zune?

Good day in the stock market

Made my first profit selling stocks today. I made $651.66 since August 2007! Not really a lot when I think about it...

Hahaha I sold YLO.UN for profit of $20. Heheh. I was going to keep it because their dividend yield is 13%! But I was afraid it might still go down. And I also sold all my BMO stock only to find out it went up a little bit higher later in the day. =( Still I made a nice little profit so I can't complain. I just don't know if it going to go higher (4th consecutive day) or go down. It kind of plateaued midday but closed at 45.96.

The monthly income fund is killing me. I'm losing $384.24 as of today. I don't like mutual funds. The BMO monthly income fund was the first I bought when I got into investing. I was up 100+ before the market plummeted. =(

If only I don't have to pay commission fees. Just to buy and sell a stock costs $50 for me! Zecco is a company that offers 10 free trades per month, but I've read bad reviews about Zecco. But maybe I should give it a try?

Hellboy 2

I entered a contest at Dose.ca to win tickets to the screening of Hellboy 2 and won! There was some email trouble so they called me this morning to tell me that the screening was tonight and I have to pick up the tickets downtown! I had to leave work for an hour to bus down there to pick it up.

Overall, I liked the movie. It had its moments; it was funny and made me laugh at times. The thing I didn't like was that Hellboy looked a little fake in this sequel. Maybe they changed his eyes or his makeup or something. It just didn't sit well with me. I didn't like the kid in the beginning either - so fake. I don't think I can say anymore without spoiling it. And Liz's fire! I liked her blue fire in the first movie better. Now it is regular fire. That's so boring! =(

I do hope that they make another one. I like Hellboy. But from the looks of it I'm going to say it is highly likely.
