On April 2007, Pantene launched a contest to find out which celebrities Filipinos consider to be the most beautiful women. Four female celebrities...

Indo Board Brings Surfing Indoors

Indo Board Brings Surfing Indoors

I’ve always wanted to learn surfing but my first hurdle is to have balance. What I didn’t know is one can actually learn “how to balance” inside one own’s home. On those days when the surf is a little flat, here’s a useful piece of surfing-wisdom: your garage, living room, maybe even your bedroom floor, will do. Sure, nothing beats the experience of the water on...

High Impact Rear Projection System from Skyview

High Impact Rear Projection System from Skyview

The idea of a floating visual medium called Skyview caught my attention. Usually, I don’t get invited to tech events mainly because they think tech gadgets are not my kind of thing. Just because Roy Bato was kind enough to invite me, I graciously accepted the invitation for the media launch at Shangrila Plaza Mall. Unfortunately, they were unable to let the Skyview float inside the mall...

Shopping at Multiply: Wear Art Thou

Shopping at Multiply: Wear Art Thou

T-shirts are my favorite fashion staple; they’re simple, versatile, and very low-maintenance.
