Seeing too much of Britney Spears?
Let me ask u a question. Don't you think Britney has gone too far by making music videos and Pepsi commercials? If you agree, welcome to my world. I know this issue may not occur to you, but I just can't stand her. She's appearing everywhere on TV! Britney this, Britney that; She's also taking most of the fans to herself.

2002 Much Music Video Awards - June 16th. Don't miss it!

Hip, hip, hooray! School year is almost over!
Feeling all tired, hyped up and excited? Cause, you're ready to Rock and Roll and celebrate the last month of the school year! But, oh no! What am I going to wear to the Prom? It's ok, no need to panic. I'm got the right tips just for you below:

Prom Dress
If I were you, I wouldn't spend my time at the mall looking for a dress and waste a couple of hundred bucks on it. Nah-ah. If you got the brains, you know there's a possibility to this…Hello! You can ask your mom/friend about it. I'm sure you'll find something.
Hair
Hair is what most girls worry about. Just try to seek out the most cheapest hair product that will keep your hair in place as long as your boogying on the dance floor. (I know this maybe sound cheap to you but hey; you don't look cheap once you try it.
Makeup
Like I said, you can borrow some of your mom's/friend's makeup. That is all!
Shoes
Don't even bother going near those high-heels, missy! Because how are you going to feel comfortable in them? I'll tell you, you'll have to sit out packed with a bunch of losers if you don't take my word for it. Gosh, get a pair of low-heels, slip-ons, etc, etc.

Instant Messaging: Long Distance without the phone bill!
By Phillip B Hong

Have you wondered how you could contact your relatives without paying a cent? Do you incur so many long distance charges that your mom would freak out when she looks at the phone bill? Well, "sorry" no more with the world of instant messaging! (Yay!) You can actually talk to friends and relatives without using the phone and dialing long distance with instant messaging.

Many examples include - > MSN Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, ICQ, AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) and more. Most of these messengers also have Java versions of their services so you won't have to download anything (for example, surfing in the library).

Many messengers also support voice conversations and Yahoo can support video conversations! What a savings of, whatever's on your phone bill!

But they do come with limitations, however. The person you are talking to must be online to ensure that it is live and instant. Also, you will need Internet Access, so for the2 tenths of Canadians who don't have internet, that wouldn't be an advantage to you.

Well, happy conversations with you!
