LE TOUCH Cable for Apple and Android Devices. When you see how it works, you'll never go back to your old boring cable. PROMISE!

I charge my phone like crazy. The 2,100 mAh battery of my S3 is never enough, not even on a bad day. I even got my baby a Momax 11,200 mAh Powerbank for it to have a constant supply when I am on the go. 

It was too bad that just a little over 3 months, the cable that came with my Samsung S3 broke. Very crappy Samsung! It was good thing that I still had my old HTC cable with me. I had to make do with that since then.

Whatever cable I use gets murdered with each and every use. It amazingly stood up to the murderous intent of my phone. Twisting and turning, tugging and pulling the cable more than it can bare. I sometimes even pull the cable off from the outlet. I loved that it lived as long as it could, 'til a couple of days ago. Not bad if you have seen the way I used it. Haha

I am crazy paranoid when it comes to my gadgets. I only want the best or maybe the cutest. Anyway, I went through to all the electronic stores that I can in Glorietta 1 in search of a new cable. I went through a lot of stores and nada, nothing good. I was about to give up but I decided to go to that one last place, OCTAGON. I seem to have so much love for Octagon these past few months. All my new stuff were bought from them.

I was originally looking for an original Samsung cable for my phone for some reason and I know it will be pricey if that was what I am gonna buy. Since my last encounter with it was not good at all. I thought of looking for another brand. You might be thinking that I am brand conscious? Yes I am, maybe not. It depends actually. 

In my mind I always expect that if I pay well for something, I expect that it would live up to the company's real standards or at least my standards. But sometimes my being brand conscious is just plain WRONG. Not everything expensive lasts. My being brand conscious is really a drag in the wallet. Good thing my "senses" decided to come back to me just in the nick of time. It prevented me from paying a huge amount just for a charging cable.

Likewise I would not like to pay P100.00 for a fancy cute sub-standard cable because I am scared that it might catch fire (or am I just being paranoid because of the photo posts that I saw on Facebook of burned phones because of charging). I was also thinking that it might break just after a few times use. So I looked and looked until I found LE TOUCH.

I love how I have the patience to keep on looking, keep on searching until I find the one thing that I want and I am satisfied with. Maybe that is why I don't work out because I consider my rampage, my exercise. I could walk for hours and hours at a time, just to find what I want. I am a very determined lady.

I was crazy happy that I stopped obsessing to find a Samsung cable. I saved me a good couple of bucks. I was also VERY pleased that what I found was so cute! Just like the fake cables, it had a couple of colors to choose from. There were cables for android phones, lightning cable and the old cable for Apple devices.

I found the android phone charger cheaper because it was only P350.00 as compared to the lighting cable that was P500.00. I wonder why that is! Haha Although with the lighting cable there is a sticker that says "it is NOT COMPATIBLE WITH IOS7". It only means that it does charge your Iphone but the lighting data transfer doesn't work, it only works the normal pace.

Momax iPower GO/GO+ Powerbank : Is it a gadget or a fashion statement? It's BOTH!

I love my Samsung S3. I have been with it for almost 1 year and a half now. It runs on 2100 mAh battery, which is almost twice my previous HTC Desire HD which has a 1230 mAh battery. I didn’t know that 1230 mAh was ridiculous back then, since it was just the dawn of smart phones. 

Having the Desire HD was totally amazing. Not to mention cool because I was the only one I knew who had that phone. No twins, except for my best friend, while everybody else had an Iphone, Blackberry or Nokia. 

Everyone who sees my phone, comes up to me and is like “Is that an Iphone?!” and I would stare back at them ridiculously and be like :

“Does it look like an Iphone!? No, it is an HTC”

And they would all be like “What’s that?". I don’t think the 2 phones looked alike not even during blackouts. Not to mention the color love! (the Desire HD was brown) and the lack of a round home button should have said "not an Iphone".

I love to have the same stuffs as my friends, but when it is someone I don’t like that much. I am like “Mah….”. I still can’t get over the fact that me and my best friend are so much a like that we don’t even have to speak to each other to know that the other is gonna buy. 

We would just meet one day and BAM! Great minds do think a like!

SAC People, eco bags with personality!

     I may not be mother earth's best child, but I do love her and I do what I can for her. Eco bags were not the best solution for some just because back then it was PLAIN and BORING. Some of them were and is still BULKY and are NOT "BAG" FRIENDLY. Can you imagine putting this in your bag?

     I can't! Not cool. So I was really happy when I started seeing very colorful and fun shaped eco bags! They looked too cute that they didn't seem to look like reusable bags. When in storage of course! Some of them are shaped like cupcakes, animals, flowers, etc. Take your pick, they have it.

Magic Bin. Can you spot the ice cream? :)

ZAP TAG : Your best friend whenever you dine, shop and relax. Now with over 200 partners!

photo taken from their website

     

     Curious about ZAP TAG, what it is for and what it does? Looks like a credit card at first but it isn't. It is actually a smart sticker (It is the size of your regular credit card but can be toned down to half its size)! 

     It may be placed in your wallet, at the back of your phone or ID, basically anywhere you want to place it.

     It is such a cool thing because it uses NFC just like your super smart phone! No need for swipper swiping!

     There are a lot of credit cards that have specific companies tied to them giving you rebates every time you use them, down side is that it is usually for one company only. 

     So here is the coolest thing! Zap allows you to have the same privilege but not just for one company. Their rebates are not only 5% but it can even be as great as 20%! 

10 steps to online shopping with ease care of JOHNNY AIR CARGO

     I love love love online shopping. But there comes a time when the thing I want is out of reach. Literally! So I was left with the dilemma on how am I gonna get it!? Since the thing and I are worlds apart, I am loosing my mind thinking of how how how will I be able to get it?! But in a blink of an eye, comes this beautiful prince to save my life! Mr. Johnny Johnny Air Cargo also known as JAC EXPRESS or JAC. Saved my life and saved me money at the same time.

     I was planning on buying a book but it wasn't available in any local bookstore here. Down payment for ordering the book alone costs way too much than what I was expecting and to think I have to wait about 3 MONTHS! Not worth it. With the money I was about to pay them, I need to get my book ASAP! Unacceptable for me. I was a little worried at first to buy online from Amazon, and to think that they would be shipping it Internationally, I was thinking what if it gets lost in transit!? What am I gonna do now. I was left to gamble, thing is I WON! whoooo :) When I saw JAC online. I was like TAKE MY MONEY (with an insane persons voice)!!!!! JAC is seriously a really great shipping company if you want to buy things from the USA and have it delivered here to the Philippines, isn't that great?! NO! because it is even better! They can ship it directly to your home, saving you all that trouble of picking it up and carrying it around with you.

ONLINE SHOPPING WITH CREDIT CARD

1. Buy something from Amazon, Ebay or any online shop (in this case I bought my book from Amazon)

    JAC is your typical shipping company : which means that you pay whichever is higher volume or weight.

-Minimum of 2 pounds : $5.99 per pound + $5.00 handling fee

-Branded/Cultured bags, electronics, commercial quantity, metal, aluminum and taxable items : $6.50 per pound + $5.00 handling fee

SEVENFRIDAY Boutique now open at Greenhills Shopping Center Promenade Extension

     I was surfing the web looking for a new watch just because I have an empty spaces in my watch box, and it is a NO NO! So I found SEVENFRIDAY. It caught my attention because its face was square and it looked sporty yet classy at the same time. It also reminded me of my favorite Nike watch that retired a few months back. Seriously, who doesn't like Fridays!? It means rest day for most people but not all, and to have 7 of it?! Immaculate! But reality check. NOT HAPPENING!

     I went to their website to check out the different models that they have and guess what I found. It is certainly more than what I expected. When looking at watches online you have no idea how big they are, and how they would fit your wrist. So here is something new. They have this PRINT AND TRY tab. So I clicked it and to my amazeballs. You can print the watch and try it on! KUDOS to their advertising strategy. BRAVO!! I found it really cool and if you like what you see. Then you might actually get the real deal. But it doesn't come cheap. Well for a pretty watch like that who wouldn't cash out!

     I know it is stupid. But just because I am bored and just for fun, I am actually gonna try the paper watch so that their advertisement won't be in vain. When you print the watch make sure to uncheck the fit to page option and in no time you will have a watch that is totally flat and won't even tell you the right time. Which tells you that you need to go now and buy the watch! :)

     So here's how the paper watch looks like when printed on a short bond paper :

Ozaki for IPad

     If there is one thing I love about Apple products, it is that they have countless number of protective cases to choose from. I have bought several different brands and types of cases for my precious Ipad 2. OZAKI was the best for me. I love how creative and versatile their products are. They have designs for different types of personality and colors you would certainly like. Their products are well crafted and certainly worth the money for me.

     I have been scouting stores for a new case for my Ipad, but I can't seem to like any of them. I went on the internet thinking that I might find something that I would fancy. I did! I found OZAKI. But it seemed to me like they don't have it here in the Philippines. All the cases I found at the stores were boring and out of date. I decided not to buy, but when my old trusty Ipad case seemed to be in the verge of death. I went back to the mall and when I spotted the Ozaki Icoat (Slim-Y+) it costs around (P3,495.00), The collection has 7 different colors, each with a different design. When I saw the Baroque in pink, I knew she was the one!

Pandora's Box

My mother isn't a compulsive buyer but when she saw this ring that was designed like a crown. I tell you, her eyes lit up and I never saw her so happy. 

On my part, I was so "inggit". I wanted one for myself. No, actually I want one for every finger I have.

So ever since that day I have been dying to have a crown ring of my own. So whenever we go out, I would hunt down jewelry stores for the crown ring. (My preeeeeeecious!). 

Finally when my chinky eyes laid eyes on PANDORA's Fairy Tale Collection. I saw "THE" ring and I fell in love with it and just like my mom I wouldn't let go. She had no choice.

My Awesome Crown Ring!! whaddaap :D
