Hey Balkhis users,

This was a great year, and I wish you happy holidays and a very happy new year. I am enjoying my time with my family, and I hope you do the same. This year I am not giving away anything special on new years except for my best wishes to you all. I think I have given one of the best tutorials over the course of this year. I think you can find a lot of tricks on this blog that will get you tons of traffic.

Have a great time on holidays and enjoy the time with your family. There is nothing that deserves your time more than your family specially at this time of the year.

Dear Balkhis Users,

I am sure you are wondering where I have been. The last post on was Sunday, and nothing since then. Firstly, I would like to apologize to you that I have not been updating this blog, but there has been a lot of things going on in my life.

Monday was a religious holiday, so I drove 4 hours from Gainesville, to West Palm Beach to pray with the family. The same day towards the afternoon, my mother got sick. So we had to take her to the hospital. I won’t go in extreme details of what happened.

But she is getting well. She is still in the hospital. I drove back to Gainesville yesterday because I had an exam today. After my exam, I drove back. So most of my days, I am just driving. So I have no time to update the blog. Considering the final, and my suddenly getting sick. But she will be discharged from hospital tommorrow, hopefully. My finals will be ending by next thursday. So the schedule should be back to normal then.

You guys will see the big list of top 100 blogs of 2008. My New Years Resolution, and the trip that Uzzz Productions staff and I are taking to start our year of.

I still haven’t updated to wordpress 2.7 and you know the reasons. Once I update, I will put out my review.

So yesterday was the day when we stop arguing and start loving our neighbors again. Yeah most people were voting for Obama and the Change to be elected. I was the minority voting for McCain but that is alright. At least our country now have a leader, and we can work on it together to get this country out of the economic crisis.

I will say that I am happy that election is over because now twitter / plurk and all the other social networks won’t have this retarded election tab which is so annoying. So that will not be an issue now.

This election was a historic one because the 44th president of America is the first African American President to be elected for US President.

The resuts was a land slide, all I will say that we will see whether the president will do what he promised all of us.

Ladies and Gentleman if you ever doubted the power of America into being a place where anything is possible. Anyone can be Successful. This is your answer.

Change Has Come to America

Everyone needs some fun in their life. Well Halloween was the perfect time for it. My Friends and I decided to have a little get together. It was like a mini-version of the party. Everyone who was invited was suppose to bring a dessert. I made Fruit Cocktail (NO Alcohol). It had Whip Cream that was mixed with condensed milk, and pineapple/peaches/grapes.

I just turned 18, but it still didn’t stop me from going and collecting Candies from everywhere lol. I actually only went to one of the local Stores (Publix) because they were giving out candies.

I decided to be a Desert Prince.

You might think it is a traditional outfit, but it is not because it is really a costume that I got from Party City. Our party was fun. Everyone dressed up. We had a Scientist, we had a Pirate couple, sailor, devil, tropical girl and I can’t remember all now.

But we played a lot of games. Such as designing a pumpkin. I didn’t win because I wasn’t in all the mood to do any artwork. I gave it a shot by just randomly coloring the pumpkin. Obviously won’t post it here because I didn’t think it was all that great.

Then we played Limbo. I didn’t play that either. You might be thinking what is going on. I might be feeling a bit better, but I am not over the sickness yet. So it has everything off the hook. But I was the judge for the limbo. Beside I always lose in Limbo anyways. I am too tall for this thing.

Then we played made things with Play Doh. I came second out of 6 people. That is because I destroyed my last round entry before the final judge who wasn’t the judge before just decided to watch everyone’s. I think it was biased juding. That was fun as well.

I got good sportsman ship award. Yeah we handed out award to everyone. At least this year, I didn’t win the biggest cheater award. Or maybe I have just gotten so good, that Nobody caught me

Well it was a fun night out. I think people should enjoy life whenever they can and hang out with friends. I hope you all had fun at Halloween at least those who celebrated it.

Now this will sound really off topic, but I think as I was talking about saving money a few days ago, this will help. Uzzz Productions have planned to take a vacation along with some friends to Tennessee. Our dates are final about time. We will be going there from Jan 2nd – Jan 5th 2009. This will be a ski/snowboard trip. And it is in Ober Gatlinburg Tennessee, so if you will be there let me know. But lets get to the point. After the trip was final, I decided to take a trip to the mall to get some winter shopping done.

I went to JCPenny as there was a doorbuster sale that started at 3p.m to close today, and tomorrow it will be from 7a.m to 1p.m, so you have a very good chance of finding some awesome deals. But aside from the awesome deals, there was this coupon that I used which I printed online.

A good habit that I have is that before I go to stores, I always go online and search for coupons. I came across this $10 gift certificate from JCPenny which gets you $10 off of every $10 you spent. So I printed out one page, and it had 3 coupons on one. I said well let me print some extra just in case.

So I head over to the store, and found things that I like. Majority were Buy 1 and get other for 88 cents. So I got some thermals, jackets, pants, sweat pants etc. Well I just made multiple transactions rather than having just one. The advantage of that is I got to use my $10 certificate multiple times because I had about 6 of those. So my pants that was suppose to be $20 ended up being $10. But ofcourse I didn’t stop there. I had another 15% coupon that I found online, so I got the thing for $7.

The website to go if you want to save money at JCPenny is Printable Coupons.

Note: The coupon that says it may not work, it works just to confirm. But it expires tomorrow, so use it tomorrow. And the sale is tomorrow at JCPenny, so head over there with the coupons. Both 15% and the $10 off ones.

Next event is at Macy’s. I got inside news that Macy’s will be giving out $10 gift cards again to their first 150 customers. And as you guys know that what it means exactly is that first 150 customers on each gate, so they have about 1000 of these to give away. Go and take advantage of those.

And aside from that gift card head over to printable coupons, and get the additional coupons from there.

I hope you guys get just as good of a deal as I got. I mean heck I spent $40, but I saved $120 lol. Ain’t that something. The lady at the counter said she needs to learn how to shop from me.
