Father of G-SHOCK will be in Manila for "Shock The World Tour"

This guy right here is Mr. Kikuo Ibe, the Father of Casio's G-SHOCK. One day, he dropped an heirloom watch given to him by his father. He watched it break into pieces, and broke his heart in the process. He envisioned one day that he'll create a timepiece that won't break when dropped. That was how the great G-SHOCK story started.

Since he's the head of Casio's watch design team, it was really hard finding a material that could substantially prevent the watch from breaking. He saw a girl playing with a ball and was inspired by it. He thought of suspending the actual timepiece with air or "space" hence the design of having a hollow structure holding the module whilst it's suspended inside.

In 1983 they came out with the first G-SHOCK model called DW5000C. The watch followed a triple 10 principle which means it's got a battery life of 10 years, 10 bar pressure resistance and can withstand a 10 meter drop too. A lot of others followed suit and made G-SHOCK a byword for timepieces.

 2013 marks G-SHOCK's 30th Anniversary. They have been holding events around the world and yes they call this "SHOCK THE WORLD" among other things. Mr. Ibe will be appearing in Manila to get Pinoys a glimpse of the celebration this February 28. I'll also try to be at the press conference prior to that at HYVE bar in W Global Center, Bonifacio Global City. For those interested to see this guy who made history in the flesh, please check out http://shocktheworldmanila.com/ for more details.

Move On Because Scars Are Gone With Contractubex

Admitting I am not flawless probably won't surprise you. Yes, just like some people you know I do have my scars. Scars are marks, they can disappear... and some stay quite permanently. We didn't have science help that much years ago and everything was mumbo jumbo. We had one solution later on but surgery costs thousands of dollars. Then we met Contractubex, I didn't know some scars could have been healed faster and completely disappear by using this.

 

Meet Ms. Cheska Garcia - Kramer and her daughter Claire Kendra Kramer. They are both gorgeous and Mom Cheska always made it a point to take care of her kids skin. With the kids active life, she can't always look after them when they are out at play or when she's at work. They told us a story when Kendra scratched her knee during play and got it healed first. After that, they applied Contractubex on the area and it's almost invisible now. So did Cheska when she got scars from having Cesarian operations giving birth to her cute kids. The little man was there too, he was too cute I tell you!

 Cheska says they've been using the brand even before they got the endorsement. It was quite nice to see that fate probably has something to do with this event. Their family is so tight, they always wanted the best for their kids and taking care of them with the best way possible is how they want it to be. A little research shows that Contractubex is effective for abrasions, cuts, lacerations, operations, burns/scalds, laser treatments and even those affected by tattoo removal. It is mostly recommended for scars that are mostly on top of the dermis and not concave looking ones according to the rep from Contractubex.

 

Now, it's time to move on with your life and LIVE IT! The scars can only tell a story, now there's a solution to even rid of it and make your skin back to flawless state. Who wouldn't want that right? Your loved ones deserve to have the best. Living it without haste, without being too shy about your skin is something everyone want and need. It's easy getting this tube and putting it on your scar, but the happiness that you'll get is insurmountable. If you have scars now, you know what to do.

Grab a tube, it's worth it. I'm already applying it to two scars and I'm seeing and feeling its effects. You don't have to suffer, check the channels below and see how it will make your life different. Definitely better!

Converse: Deserving Indie Bands Get Loud!

Who are we to stop creativity? Are we making sure that the artistically forward are recognized in this country? Are we even giving them a voice when its due them? Well it's time we do. That's exactly why CONVERSE encourages us to Get Loud! The need to get noticed, without putting off listeners and get that coveted career on a roll. Converse is here to get these Indie bands some needed push and that's going to happen now.

This is Paranoid City. Their strength lies in using synthesizers for most of their masterpieces. With songs like "Hello Strange", "We Are/HereWe Go" they will let you feel that there's space for Pop Funk and Electro Dance. You'll figure out why their music, coupled with an Ivy League fashion template can bring them to the front of their genres and make a mark in this industry. It's something they wish for, it's something they want to happen soon. Armed with Jack Purcell pieces on their wardrobe, they won't have problems getting noticed.

This one's Stereodeal. Having quirky, intelligent and poetic music isn't just something the band is known for. They are bringing to the table their brand of Alternative Music. A very creative thought process comes into every song they make and influences in everyday situations, even love make up most of their originals. That real vibe and melancholic songs such as "Hypertime" and fast ones like "Relentless" makes them a force to be reckoned with. Together with their tasteful choices in music and a look mostly based on the CONS line, they will surely get to impress even the most discriminating audiences wherever, whenever that may be. 

 With a promising career in sight, awesome clothes, shoes and love for what is innately theirs... Their brand of music and Converse's support, nothing is impossible... They will Get Loud!
