On Nike Dri-fit and other sports clothing fabrics


When I was still active in mountain climbing and going the gym, I usually wear Dri Fit clothing because it’s convenient, cool to the skin and lightweight. Washing and drying them is also a breeze, dirts and stains can be easily removed and they dry easily. It has been the popular choice for most athletes because it wicks away perspiration from the body and brings it to another surface of the fabric. One major disadvantage of this fabric is its smell, no matter how much fabric conditioners and detergent I used, it still has this funky smell. Until I answered this from Dneero, I learned that the culprit for that funky smell is the residues left by perspiration in the fabric. Feel free to answer the survey below.

Beauty find: Smashbox O-Glow Intuitive Cheek Color


As I’ve said before, I’m a powder, cheek tint and lipgloss/lipstick person. I can do without the foundation, eyeshadow, mascara stuff. I’ve been using locally made cheek tint for years and it’s great! But I thought of rewarding myself a bit and bought the Smashbox O-Glow. It had great reviews for years now and still a bestseller of Smashbox.

It arrived in the mail and yesterday and I immediately used it. The liquid goes on clear and turns pink when applied to your skin. When blending, it feels creamy to the skin so application is a breeze. It reacts with the skin’s personal chemistry that’s why it will turn into your skin’s natural color when you “blush”. With this clear gel, it suits all skin shades and gives a unique color on different skin types. If you have the moolah and want to splurge, go ahead and buy this, it sure is worth your money!


Now, I gotta save for Smashbox O-Gloss for now, the lip gloss counterpart but the same concept as O-Glow.

Spanking new LCD: my raves on Samsung SyncMaster T220

Browsing the web and watching movies in our PC has never been this fun. After weeks of hardwork from our full-time day job and a little extra from earning online, Jeff and I decided to pimp our gizmos. We upgraded to a faster PC and faster Internet connection (thanks to PLDT myDSL!) two weeks ago but still used our jurassic CRT monitor then. After a while, we decided to switch to LCD because our old monitor is screaming to retire already. What’s great is that SM North Edsa had their 3-day sale, oh how I love payday SALES! Off we went to Silicon Valley, the particular Samsung LCD model we wanted to buy is unavailable and the only 22″ model available is the new arrival, Samsung SyncMaster T220. How lovely, a blessing in disguise indeed because we thought it wasn’t slated for release yet here in the Philippines. The Samsung T220 is a Php 15,700 beauty that is too beautiful to pass up. Although it’s a little over our budget, we bought it since we saved up for it nonetheless.

the white speakers need to be replaced now

Appearance-wise, it has a very sleek look, I like the touch-sensitive power button and all the menu adjustment buttons hidden at the right edge. The frame has a hint of red color along the edges which complements the piano-black finish. Contrast ratio is 20,000:1. I don’t have to delve into technicals now, all I wanted to say is I love this LCD!

Affordable and Stylish Prescription Eyeglasses


I’ve been wearing my glasses since high school, so that’s about 11 years ago. Back then, eyeglasses are so dull looking and boring that wearing one makes you look like a geek. In college, where I became more conscious with my looks, I started wearing contact lenses so I can be normal looking again and others can see my face without the obstruction. But we all know that wearing contact lenses for a long time is also bad for our eyes, our eyes needs to breathe once in a while so it is imperative that I still have my trusty eyeglasses.

It is surprising to see that other people now wear eyeglasses even if they have 20/20 vision, they wear it for vanity and fashion purposes. Other people look good too when wearing eyeglasses. It became an accessory and a fashion must-have for some. It’s a good thing that the market offers different variety of shapes, colors and styles for different individuals with different styles and with different face shapes. Try to look at the incredible stylish new frames from Zenni and choose whatever suits your fancy. For the budget-conscious yet still likes to be stylish, Zenni Optical $ 8 Rx Eyeglasses is the way to go. Now, who said that you have to spend a fortune for those eyeglasses? Because of this amazing offer, Zenni Optical was on FOX news!
