Giveaway: Are business cards important? YES!

by | 33 Comments

I remember attending my first social media conference back in December 2010. Days before the conference, I had butterflies in my stomach because I’ve not been to ANY conferences at all. I imagined so many weird scenarios happening in my head.

The worst part is, I made a huge mistake by not having enough business cards with me during the conference. It wasn’t a pleasant experience getting a card and not giving one in return.

Well, luckily I’ve managed to keep in touch with a couple of people whom I met back then. Right Zilkry?

by | 25 Comments

After I had posted a review of the Toshiba Portege Z830 Ultrabook, many of you had asked me how long can its battery last, so today I decided to put the Z830 Ultrabook to the test by using it on a single full battery charge and see how it will perform under Ask Aaron Lee’s scrutiny and how it will compliment my work.

Part of my job involves me reading and keeping up with the latest trends. Opening a ‘million’ tabs at once becomes the norm because I need to know what’s happening in social media, as well as having other programs opened for writing and sharing some of the best tips that I’ve learned from my own personal experience.

Then there are times where you simply cannot write but at the same time your blog post isn’t quite ready to be published, so I need to open even more tabs to watch a lot of funny baby videos on Youtube to reduce stress levels. *cough cough*
