The Coolest Gadgets for Summer 2016

Spent the evening with the good people from Digits Trading. They're one of the largest gadgets and accessories distributors in the country. I couldn't even fit in my hands what brands they have but it includes Marshall, Braven and some new ones like Vest (that does anti radiation accessories) and Fuse Chicken (which have Apple accessories). We're here to find out some of the coolest gear for Summer 2016.

This is the vest Anti Radiation Headset. If you're looking for best deals on electronic gadgets, this is a good place to start. The thrust this year is to get your gadgets to become more healthy and safe. It makes sense since we're using them for a long time. The wired headset is made sturdy, and the concept is to lessen the radiation while you're listening to your favorite songs on your smart phones. If you're streaming music or video, this would actually help and lessen radiation worries for you and your family. I'd definitely consider this as one of the coolest things you can have this summer. Now the only thing left is a trip to a beach or that lovely destination you've been thinking of all year.

There's also a wireless version of it, this is the vest anti radiation Bluetooth headset. If you're not a fan of wires then this would be a great alternative. It's a little pricey, almost twice the price. Hopefully we can get more affordable gadgets by getting the best shopping coupons at http://www.myvouchercodes.ph/.

Aside from the Earphones, vest also has Anti Radiation smart phone cases for iPhone 6S and 6S+. It protects your phone from bumps and drops. It also gets you about 89% less radiation exposure without compromising signals with an additional PCB for your antenna. 

The vest Radiation Shield can prevent those that are coming from your laptop's battery and WIFI antenna. It also would be a good thing for heat reduction, confidently making you work without worries of exposure up to 92%.

Fuse Chicken boasts of the IPHONE phone dock, car dock, Apple Watch dock and Titan. They're made with the toughest cable on Earth and I think they have every right to claim that since it's made of industrial grade cable that is made of high strength steel. It is both flexible and might probably be the last charging cable you'll ever need in your lifetime. It works best for your phone that uses lightning cables. You'll never see it peel off or get chewed by your pets. I wanted to have this long cable actually because I have already bought about 4 original ones and they all got ruined after daily use. This for me is a solution, and hopefully we get to experience it soon.

Then we saw the BRAVEN BRV-PRO speaker and accessories.

This one is the Stacking Plate, which you can use to stack multiple BRAVEN speakers so they can sync with your Bluetooth connection and play music on a whole different level. I actually have an older model and just like it, the BRAVEN plays super crisp audio without distorting it too much with too much bass. You'll love it!

To make your speaker fancy, this one is their Glow Deck. If you're out in the woods, you won't have to use your precious batteries because it glows with LED's while you're playing music in the background.

This is the Action Mount. You can now go on adventures, ride your bikes, drop through mountains and still have that music play while you're doing everything.

For environmental freaks, if you run out of batteries, don't worry because you've got the BRAVEN Solar Panel. Just go and tuck it out on a sunny day and it'll charge your device automatically.

If you run out of phone batteries, don't worry because you've got this Battery Pack to help you through your camping activities. Just hook it up and use it like a power bank in those emergency situations. You've got the best gadgets within your reach, now go get them before your next beach destination. You'll love it like I do!

That's our roundup of the coolest gadgets you can have this summer. Make sure you get them while it's hot literally, and figuratively. Everything is available in Digital Walker or Beyond the Box Stores nationwide!

SM Launches "Art for Everyone" Today!

Today is a good day for art and SM is going to celebrate it with established and new artists in a two day art fair called "Art for Everyone". It will be held simultaneously today Feb 27 until tomorrow the 28th in SM City North Edsa, SM Megamall, SM Aura, SM Southmall, SM City Cebu and SM City Lanang in Davao. This is also in part of the celebration of National Arts Month on it's 25th year since it was put into law in 1991. SM is continuing to support the local art scene and this is the first time to ever do it in 6 malls at the same time. Now, more people would be able to see how talented Filipinos are since this is in a larger venue plus it can be viewed free.

Curator Dr. Patrick Flores says "It is important to broaden the access to contemporary art. It'll give the public a better feel of these emerging artists, their work, and the galleries they belong to. We have been supporting them as they have a track record of professionalism and we cannot discount the fact that Filipino artists are world class!"

The "Art for Everyone" exhibit is organized in collaboration with Dr. Patrick Flores, Ms. Louise Marcelino of UP Vargas Museum and Mr. Peter Natividad of the Lopez Museum. Oh and yes, some of the pieces are up for sale so if you're collecting this might be a good place to discover worthy art. Open mall hours today, so see it!

There's A "Little Nanay" in All of Us: A "Little Nanay" Set Visit

I saw this written in a coloring book which was used to promote the GMA show "Little Nanay" while I was writing this story. We just got back from a long day of interviews with the cast in their Sta. Ana location shoot and we had fun talking to the cast of the show. I didn't quite get it why they would insinuate that we all had that "Little Nanay" in ourselves though because I know quite a few people who probably don't. I mean there are bad people living in the Philippines and I got confused with that statement.

I guess what they were trying to prove is, no matter what condition, mental capacity or psychological grade a person has, they'd probably have a little part of themselves to still care for someone else. That's the vibe that I got from Kris Bernal when we talked to her that afternoon. The show is about to end and I guess in some way, that's what she wanted to impart to the people who have steadfastly supported the show since it's inception. The task of making the character of Tinay alive was much of a challenge to the Kapuso actress but she feels it was all well worth it. They did make us think a lot about what a person who's matured but with a mind of an 8 year old could actually do to take care of their own daughter, their own family too. As with any other differently abled individual, they should always be treated as humans no matter how much we have to learn living with them would actually take. Here are some of our interviews with the cast done a few days ago.
