Say Moo!

Before anything else, I want to make it clear that Moo didn’t commission me to make this review. I am doing this out of love. WTF?! In other words, this is not a paid review.

I’ve heard about Moo — a printing company based in London — a year ago, since then, I’ve been drooling because of their famous Moo MiniCards. These MiniCards have a vital statistics of 28mm x 70mm with a Matt laminate finishing. They’re so small but they’re still attractive and cool. You can get Ready Made MiniCards, or you can design your own with your own photos. On the reverse of the card, you can place up to six lines. You can even choose the color and font that suits your needs.

Back in February, I subscribed to Flickr Pro account. Surprisingly, a Pro account comes with ten free Moo Minicards. I immediately chose my favorite photos and ordered them. The waiting period was very long. There was even a point when I thought they would never arrive safely here in the Philippines. It took a month before they arrived. It’s my first package from London and I was like sniffing the envelope trying to smell London. LOL. Call me crazy but I don’t care. (I’m really dreaming of London. Haha. Someday, I’ll treat myself a trip to London). I was so happy with them. They’re simply beautiful.

Last May 03, I decided to order 100 Moo Minicards. Even though they’re quite expensive, I didn’t hesitate to order. After a month, they were still in the mail. And that was the time when I started to panic. I thought to myself that perhaps, they were lost in the mail somewhere in Japan or Madagascar. Haha. I asked my younger brother every now and then if I received an email when I get back home. Last week, I concluded that they were really gone and maybe, they’re back in Moo’s Headquarters in London. I was really sad because they cost me around $30.00 (that includes the shipping and the plastic Moo MiniCards holder).

Two days ago, when I got home from school I saw a small package with a familiar label on our dining table. The package was very dirty (it might not look dirty on the photo, but it is). I was really shocked when I saw it. My Moo MiniCards had arrived at last! I was saying “Dumating din sa wakas!” like a mantra for a few minutes. Now that I have them, I can’t wait to give them to my friends even though they perfectly know my email and phone number.

My next target is their StickerBooks. God, I really love their products! Now, I have to look for a good blogger out there who can buy me a StickerBook. Hehe.

I joined Flickr, a photo sharing site last year. I think you will agree with me if I would say that it’s a very cool site. The user interface is sleek and it’s very easy to navigate your way in the site. I’ve been using it for storing some of my photos and searching for a good image that I can use without paying any royalties and breech the copyright law as a banner here.

Three Each For one long year, I’ve been using the free version which has so many limits. With a free account, a member has only 100 MB monthly upload limit, three sets, only the 200 most recent images are available, photos can only be add to 10 groups, and only smaller resolutions of the photos are viewable. It sucks isn’t? But since I have earnings in the Internet, I decided to buy a Pro account.

Since last Sunday, I’ve been uploading lots of photos in my Flickr account. Currently, I have 738 photos uploaded in Flickr where 199 photos are for public consumption. I’m officially a Flickr addict! Lol. Actually, last Wednesday, I tried my stinking prowess in photography and came up with a set of photos of salt and pepper shakers. Lol. I had fun taking photos even though they’re not as impressive as those photos that are currently in my favorites (that’s obvious).

My Moo cards arrived! It’s been a while since I first expressed in my Twitter that I wanted a pro account and I’m really glad that I purchased one. I like it. What’s more is that I’m now waiting for my 10 free Moo MiniCards. They would look like those tiny cards in the photo on the left. They’re photo calling cards, actually. They look wonderful and from what I have read in the Internet, they really look amazing! As I write this, my MiniCards are being dispatched. I cannot wait any longer. Lol. I want my MiniCards now! Haha.

Maybe, I will order more MiniCards if I would be satisfied. There are other things that you can do with the photos that you’ve uploaded in Flickr. I want to try them but then, I don’t have any moolah. Lol. Haha. Maybe, someday, I’ll be able to buy other things from the Internet.

If you have a Flickr account, be sure to add me and visit my set I call The Gallery. I end this post with some of my favorite photos that I took (be sure to check out the photos found below this page).
