The 5th Philippine International Pyromusical Competition

Sparks will literally fly again on skies of Manila as the 5th installment of 2014 Philippine International Pyromusical Competition happens at the SM Mall of Asia grounds this February 15, 2014!

It's the most awaited show every year and we haven't run out of participants from first world countries yet. Australia, Spain, United Kingdom, France, Japan, China, Germany, Finland, Canada and the United States of America will all be there represented by individual firework companies to provide the right amount of shock and awe that Filipinos have definitely been a fan of since this started.

Don't worry! We'll be well represented at the event because the Philippines will be doing an opening salvo courtesy of Platinum Fireworks Incorporated. We will be showing off our best at strict international standards to show them why we've been winning other Pyromusic festivals elsewhere too!

Bring your family, friends and loved ones later - and until the succeeding Saturdays until March 22, 2014 so you can be part of this BIG celebration of what is the Philippine International Pyromusical Competition! Explosion starts at 7PM and the next country will be there at 8PM. I'll be there later to shoot so see you! :)

The Crumpler and Philippine Airlines TravelTour Expo 2014 Rewards!

This is how Philippine Airlines celebrated valentine's day!

Something sweet and giving happened yesterday and will last until the 16th of February 2014.

World renowned bag and accessory brand Crumpler will be at the annual Traveltour Expo 2014 happening at the SMX Convention Center, Mall of Asia  in Pasay City. It's the country's largest and most awaited travel exposition of the year. It's now on its 21st year and it has established a strong following since it's the place where you can only get the best travel and hotel deals. Crumpler Philippines has partnered with national flag carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL) to offer once in a lifetime exclusive privileges for patrons at the expo. Any purchase of an international ticket entitles customers to an automatic 30% discount on any Crumpler bag purchase. This also happens the same when you purchase a domestic ticket as it gets you 20% discount on the same bags and accessories instead. Now isn't that amazing?

As if that wasn't a big deal, all Mabuhay Miles members will enjoy an additional 20% Crumpler discounts on top of the ticket purchase promo by just presenting their membership cards or a copy of the promo email letter sent by Philippine Airlines. That means you can get almost 50% off on your purchase if you get an international ticket, if that ain't a great deal I don't know what would be a nice one right?

Go rush to the SMX Convention Center and avail those BIG discounts on the Philippine Traveltour Expo 2014 courtesy of our good friends from Philippine Airlines. I'll be there later! :D

Excellence in Sound: Move S Wired by NudeAudio

It was Green, perfectly paired to my current bed covers so I gave it a stunning portrait. It was another gadget at the palm of my hand and honestly, I'm already loving it! On looks alone, this portable wired speaker was so good that my friends and family kept on bugging me and asking to even buy it from me. I politely said no so I could unbox the little square one for you guys. Now isn't that nice? :)

The promise of having it connected to almost any other gadget with a 3.5mm jack was a treat, but do you see that mark just below it? Yes, that is true. You'll have 8 hours of pure unadulterated entertainment with this small squared wonder. Given it's small size, you wouldn't believe how much sound and bass it actually produces even with music from my iPhone 5, iPhone 5S and iPod Shuffle.

I was so surprised when I got it to play a couple of tracks. With the high bass requirement on some of my Electronic Dance Music albums, I've never thought that something would be able to cope with it. If I wasn't looking at the thing when it played, I would have mistaken this to be like a 300 dollar brand of speakers (no joke!). Plus the material on this rut looks indestructible. It was made to hit surfaces, get bumped, scratched and develop minor contusions if you hit somebody with it. 

The good sound must have been caused by this. If you've got great engineering done on the container that surrounds the actual piece that emits the sound, you'll have bigger and bolder music. I felt every single beat on my bass. I was contented with it, well no, let me rephrase that... I was astounded by it's performance and had to check with other gadgets if it performed the same. It wasn't a fluke, it was real and I'm digging it. Built to last outdoors, pocket sized and sound quality is divine, how can you go wrong with that?

Impeccable Design and Function: MONOCLE by Native Union

I was in the mood of getting accessories for my iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S so this arrived in the mail today. Right from the get go, I've always liked things that is a little fashion forward. When I held the box in my hand, I knew the MONOCLE by Native Union was right for me. It functions as a Speaker, Handset and Speakerphone all in one. I had to do an un-boxing of course. I immediately tested it out and see if it fits my phone. 

At first, I was a little skeptical that it might not be appropriate to carry it around like this guy in the package. Then again, maybe I might think of it differently when I try it on. 

Concept wise, I think I know why this is a little different. It's not meant to be worn like head phones, although it can function as one. Put it on your bag or pocket, it'll still be a good thing to show off to friends if you are the type of person who wants envy to flourish in your hood LOL! The body itself is made of spun aluminum whilst the inner grill is scored copper and plus a black aluminum casing. It's pretty sturdy and solid build makes it a tough cookie for travel purposes.

When I opened the box, it had a few brochures inside of it. The manual was also simple and available in different languages. The cords that came with it were all in Nylon reinforced covers. This make it literally hard to ruin or get damaged on normal occasions. Unlike the power cable of my iPhone5 that's about to say goodbye to this world soon LOL!

The cute MONOCLE also has this button on the side that can function to answer calls or drop them. It'll be handy answering calls so you get to do it hands free on speaker mode which I'll tell you about in a bit. Otherwise, you can just stick it to your hand while you hold your phone on the other. Private conversations on this gadget is a breeze but probably would need the help of your hand since it can't be hung around your ear. It is cozy though because it's softly padded by a cushion in the earpiece. You can opt to also put it on top of a table so you can share it with your friends or if you are in a conference call.
