Goodies from TechLife
Just a bit of a life update. While I was doing my industry pages tasks for Aratum, someone called from our gate and said that I have a package. For my online packages, I usually opt for J&T Express, so I was stunned to know that it was the LBC guy. Apparently, I had a suprise package from Techlife! I got to ecstatic. Here are the stuff inside the TechLife PR kit: TechLife Wireless Headphones The most noticeable one is the TechLife Wireless headphones. I tried it out, and its sound quality was the best. Plus, it was so light; it didn’t hurt my ears at all. Apart from that,…

Life Update: Busy, but Red Ribbon Made My Days Extra Sweet
Hello, everyone! So just a bit of life update. Our company is growing rapidly, and there are a lot of things going on—new teams, projects partners, distributors, which meant a lot of new content. Being one of the writers and the main editor, the past few weeks have been hectic. Although I manage to keep my work-life balance, sometimes, I would need a bit of a boost in my life. Apart from entertainment, I have to give time for my family, my cat, my friends, and while I’m not currently in a relationship, I crave for something sweet, especially after a long day at work. Well, I was so delighted…

Street Portraits Taken By realme 12 5G
So I’ve recently joined realme’s annual photowalk using their latest model, the realme 12 5G. This might be the first photo blog that I’ve product so far, because it will be photo-heavy. So the photowalk started at almost 5pm, where the realme people divided all participants into groups. I was part of Route 1, Group 2, which started at Osmeña Park, heading to People’s Park, and finally at Poblacion. Although the photowalk time was set during the golden hour, yesterday was cloudy. Nevertheless, we had the realme 12 5G to back us up in taking photos. I have mostly used the Maverick filter on the real me 12 5G because…

Skincare Review: White Glow Bar Soap, Hand & Body Lotion, Facial Toner, and Facial Creams
When it comes to skincare, I am like an incomplete canvas, sometimes left unbothered by its intricacies, and almost always leaning towards the herbal, less-invasive bunch, a myriad mixes of anything I see, or my sister’s unconsumed products due to her sensitive-prone skin. A friend might panic after reading that because I am not getting any younger (I already have age spots on my face). Yes, I have my retinol, niacinamide, and glycolic acid, but I don’t use them daily, as it seems my skin has developed a tolerance to them. Additionally, my lack of sleep has dried out my skin, which caused concern in January of this year. It…

Reviewing Hui’s WHU IS ME: Complex EP
Hui (Lee Hoe Taek) of PENTAGON released his first solo EP last January 16. I’ve been a Universe (PENTAGON’s fandom name) for a while now, and Hui is one of my biases, so I’ve been looking forward to this album since it was announced last December. Besides Hui, I also favor Kino and Jinho, but overall, I love every member of PENTAGON. Hence, it quite vexed me that Kino suddenly released a single on January 8; I’m following him on Instagram, and I’m updated with his affairs, but I thought that he was only modeling (dumb me). Anyhow, stay tuned for my song review for Kino’s “Fashion Style.” But yeah,…

The Little Box of Mindful Meditations Cards Review
For someone who has embraced the esoteric lifestyle for over 12 years, I am quite subtle. Since esotericism and spirituality are uncommon amongst my peers and perhaps in the society I’m surrounded by, I have refrained from speaking about it. Otherwise, I might be the subject of ridicule or at least a condescending smirk. Now, one of my New Year’s resolutions is to blog more about my spiritual journey. But as mentioned, I still have to contemplate doing so deliberately for the reasons above. Nevertheless, I took the first steps by blogging about getting into crystals and being more grateful. Spiritual Guide: Oracle Cards I have been buying Oracle cards…
