exchange arena poster Originally uploaded by annalyn. Thanks to a sender from the Philippine Business for Social Progress for believing that this blog can help spread the word about their noteworthy project called Exchange Arena. In this endeavor, the country's top companies are invited to invest 1% of their annual employee time for nation-building. The idea is to form an army of employee volunteers to work for some development projects in progress. Attention HR managers: this could be a noble alternative to the out-of-town excursions, basketball ... Continue Reading...
Nokia’s 5500 Sport & the advent of the talking cellphones
nokia5500 Originally uploaded by annalyn. Talking cellphones are here! And so... you will not just read SMS messages but also hear the same messages being read to you through the phone's Message Reader. I first heard about mobile phones' Text-to-Speech recognition from the Ben-Q distributor early this year (since Ben-Q phones carry them too) and now I get to test it first-hand with the new Nokia 5500 Sport which my editor has sent me to review. What can I say? It's really C-O-O-L! ... Continue Reading...
LG’s 5 megapixel cellphone

These ... Continue Reading...
Get fit tips from my gym
Gyms are really not the favorite destination of Filipinos, malls are. Somehow we have this crazy idea that walking the whole length of Mall of Asia (with stop-overs of window-shopping in between) already equates to time spent in the treadmill. Women wearing skimpy skirts and midribs are also a common sight in Manila :P but rarely will you find a mini-skirted woman who is toned and muscular at the same time. A muscled and toned woman seems odd, by our standards. We prefer to wallow in our slimness and we can only thank God that we are Asian, and in some cases suffering ... Continue Reading...
Balut, kwek-kwek & other Philippine street food
Balut. I should have blogged about this more than a month ago during our first culinary trip to Pampanga but somehow the pictures got lost in my archives. At the Nepo Mart in Angeles City, I saw several carts of street food which is perhaps one of the biggest to be gathered in one place I'd seen. What's good about these stalls is that people flock to them like flies because they're cheap, they can ease your hunger pangs for a few pesos and some people seem to believe that the dirtier, the better (these places just have pails of water to wash the dishes, ...
