BRAVEN BRV-1 weatherproof wireless speakers + charger goes for PHP 7,450.00
BRAVEN. I love this word. This is because it sounds like one of my favorite descriptors in the English language — the adjective ‘brazen’ which meant ‘without fear or shame.’ And perhaps this descriptor is apt as a brand name for hands down, the most impressive rugged portable speaker system I have encountered.

Chikka is still around, and going strong after 10 years!
Trading jokes and getting into never-ending kulitan. Quoting songs and exchanging pick-up lines. Sharing comments about the weather or passing around traffic updates. Asking obvious questions or giving practical answers.

ClickPlay.PH is our local version of Netflix; stream movies online for PHP 60.00 per title

Loaded up USD .00 for the Steam sale this holiday season. I now have a more strict criteria for games as I’ve a little one-week old bundle of joy beside me. No MMO’s, no games that require quick reflexes. I did buy games that have a big single player experience so I can pause anytime.…

For a photo sharing app, Instagram is getting a lot of flak for the confusion with their Terms of Service. Apparently, legalese is way beyond the comprehension of the common man so Instagram had to re-publish and re-clarify what it had meant in its previous ToS. It’s here if you want to read it.

DesignCrowd enters Philippines enabling graphic artists to make more money for their talent
There’s nothing like a good crowdsource business model that benefits both clients and suppliers. In the garments business, I’ve had a few friends who were also graphic designers have me upvote a few tee designs for Threadless.com. If their designs were chosen, they’d get USD ,000 and have their work printed on shirts for sale.
