The Morning Banana Diet

How much I tried I just don't seem to loose weight , I play Basket Ball , go for a swim for about three days a week but still doesn't seem to lose weight. Well my eating habits are one of the main reasons why I cant lose weight and with thousands of diet programs out there its not that easy to choose one either. That's when I found this morning banana diet program , which is easy to follow and cost effective as well. What you have to do is eat bananas for breakfast and after about 2-3 bananas you feel full. Combine that with some good eating habits and you will be on your way to loosing weight :)

Sri Lankan Blogspot

One of my friends pointed me to blogs.lk , a site where you can create a blog for free. It looks pretty similar to the standard Wordpress dashboard and you have some in built in  widgets ready to be added to the theme. There are some Wordpress themes added so you can change the theme to suit your need as well. The tricky part is the Adsense revenue plan. You can add adsense blocks but they are shown in 60-40 sharing mode. That means for every 100 impressions your ads will show 60 times and there ads will show 40 times. With services like blogspot where you can get 100% of your ad earnings why should anyone want to share there revenues ? 

One advantage is you can get a .lk domain name so you will look cool and represent Sri Lanka. Hopefully more and more plug-ins will be added in the future so you might be able to get the full functionality offered by self hosted wordpress. Lest hope the admins will take care of that.

Doing online surveys in Sri Lanka

More and more people are looking for ways to make money online in Sri Lanka. And one of the favorite things seems to be signing up for online survey sites. Almost all of these sites have testimonials from people who are getting paid to do surveys. But the problem is most of them are in countries like USA and Canada where there is a huge competition for brands and customer surveys are a important feature of there marketing campaign. Most of the surveys are targetted for people in those countries so Sri Lankans don't get many surveys. Since there are no surveys people cant reach the earning limit to get paid and hence they don't get any money. The bad thing about is most try only this , gets dissapointed with the results and don't even try any other way to make money online. If you are in Sri Lanka and know about site that has enough offers for Sri Lankans please share it in the comments section. Others, if you are in Sri Lanka stay away from online survey filling sites.

Finally watched Machan

After hearing from almost everybody I finally went and watched Machan directed by Uberto Pasolini and I realised why everyone is highly recommending it. First of all the stroy line is different and the fact that its based on a true story makes it more interesting. It wasn't a star studded crew but the actors did more than justice to the film. After doing some Googling I found out that the director actually spoke to some of the people involved and try to make the film as close as to the true story as possible. The jokes were all very natural and they were in flow with the story. You also get a glimpse into the poor communities of Sri Lanka and how hard it is to survive for them.One of the best Sinhala movies I watched in recent times and I highly recommend that you go and watch it.

Reunion Night was Great

We had the first official reunion of the 2002A/L batch of St.Peter's College and it was an fantastic event. We initially planned for around 60 people and more than 80 were present and because of the success of this event I think there will be more next time we plan a meet up. It was nice to see most of the guys after a long while. And instead of the normal fried rice and curries this time we had Kottu for dinner and it went very well with the drinks. There was liqour drinking competition and a dancing competition and Dilanks who was the captain of the Sri Lanka National team was given a special award. Then it was all dancing and drinking till it ended around 1.30 PM. Waiting until the next get together :)
