Just when you thought you need an iPhone or the latest Samsung Phone just so you can take better photos from your phone, you are mistaken. Star Mobile just made possible for everyone to take Instagram-worthy photos with the new Knight Elite and it retails only P9,990.
If what you're after in a phone is a good camera then this could be the smartphone you are looking for. The new StarMobile Knight Elite exclusively has the STARCAM and it has 3 major feature that makes it stand out among all the new phones out there.
When was the last time you held a photograph?I noticed lately how we've been so caught up in preserving memories digitally that we forgot how good it feels to flip though photographs with our hands. When my friend, Ria, told me about this cool new app that's proudly Pinoy-made, I went ahead and tried it while stuck in Metro Manila's horrible traffic.
This app seriously addicting!
As much as I love everything in beauty that will prevent my skin from looking my real age... I am not averse to aging. In fact, I welcome it. I, after all, believe in the old adage that with age comes wisdom. Yes, they do.. It's just a matter of knowing how to use it. :)
One thing about growing older is the chance to reminisce things in the past with friends your age. Just last week, T and I got excited about the remake of the Jem and Holograms to live action film! Now I'm back in my 80's groove and listening to songs that I grew up to.
Oh how music just takes you back.
That's why I was quite ecstatic to know that Smart and Deezer is partnering up! :) That's freedom in music for over 72 million Smart subscriber nationwide! I get to have a Deezer Premium + service just by subscribing using my Smart Postpaid line. That means unlimited access to music with no ad interruption online or offline. I don't have to scour tracks from the internet and empty out my memory to keep the track from all era's that I want.
Best of all, I get to share my music playlist with people whom I share common interests with. Because not everyone will get what Electric Dreams does to me whenever I hear it. :) Smart will be offering all kinds of promotion and types of plans for those who want to avail Deezer. I can't wait for them to finally launch this partnership. :)
It's gonna do me so much good to surround myself with good vibe music ones the baby is out. :) It's also gunna be easier with a SMART LTE connection! :)

Just when I thought I'm over iPhone... I was wrong. I had everything I needed in my iPhone 5, which I think is the sexiest iPhone out there (well, except now that iPhone 5S is here). But I am here eating my words and quite head over heels over my new iPhone 5c.
When all your gadgets have speakers, why the hell do you need a portable speakers for? That's exactly what I ask myself whenever I come upon a really chic speakers with a price that could afford me a high-end foundation and more...
But for someone like me who prefers to listen to music or watch a video sans the earphones, a speaker comes in handy like an oil-control film.
Here is just a few instanses...
1. During a Jason Magbanua SDE Marathon.
2., Watching The Walking Dead or American Horror Story on my iPad
3. Singing along to my 80's and 90's in the shower
4. During vacations with either friends or family.
5. Showing off your new playlist to your friends.
6. Obnoxiously making sure that you get to show off how cool your taste in music is.
7. Listen to music and still get to chat with your officemate or seatmate.
8. Bluetooth speakers are just way too cool coz you can listent o music and still get to instagram without having to lug it around.
And Nude Audio Speakers in Move M (Php2,990) is exactly that.
Like in Goldilocks, I settled for the Move M (from their Move S, M & L speaker line). It was "just right!" Nude Audio is a fairly new in the tech industry but I seriously think they are nailing it.
Nude Audio Move M bass sound was unbelievably good for its size (although I think the K would be a better pick for serious musicians). The strap alone makes it really nice to lug around with. Hang it on your bike, shower hook or anywhere you want to music to blast. Listening to Mo Thug to Panthera to Celine Dion and Debbi Gidson.. this is by far, one of the best speaker I've tried this year.
And I get o maximize my iPad more because of this! Yey to more youtube videos watched. :)
You gotta love Bluetooth!
Pairing was easy, I didn't need to read the instruction. A simple long press on the Bluetooth button and it got connected to my gadgets. :) A wireless wonder this one is. :)
Look how great it looks with my new white iPhone 5C! :
This also doubles as a speakerphone. Hello to skype-ing and facetiming more!
Great things come in small packages. :) Nude Audio is exactly that!
Here's a sample of the audio. :)
If you're on a hunt for a chic-looking speakers with really good audio quality and with a price range that's reasonable, visit Beyond The Box or Digital Walker and try out Nude Audio. :)
Hey, loves!
I'm still here in Hong Kong with the rest of Mary Kay Team. Today we will be witnessing the training of the mdoels and their consultants. I'm pretty excited and equipped with a few questions for them to answer. If there are some thing you'd like me to ask them, just tweet it to me!
For the meantime, it's Tech Tuesday and I'd like to share with you my new acquistion for my hardworking Smart Iphone 5. It's the Casemate Pop! with Stand Case. This case comes in basic and vibrant shades but I wanted something girly so I chose the Lipstick Pink/Pool Blue combination. I went for the case for the stand since I l;ike to treat my iPhone5 as an alarm clock. Setting it down on my desk allows me to see what time it is. Interior lining is also impact resistant-resistant for clumsy li'l me!

A Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 is an unlikely gadget you'd see me owning. I didn't know if it was right to own one at my age. But ever since winning it in a raffle during the second Sample Room Blogger's get together, I got hooked.
In a world where everything digital is hailed, only a brand like Fuji Film would take a camera to a whole new hipster level.
Consider me an almost-geek when it comes to my gadgets. I go for the quality, the quirky scientific stuff before I go for design or color.
Case in point, the new Tech21 D30 Impact Band iPhone 5 case I got for my baby, Favia! Knowing how badly I've treated my previous iPhone, I choose not to take risks and get my baby a better casing. One that has protection but still retain it's slim feature. That is after all one reason why iPhone 5 has become a hit for tech-noobs and tech-savvy peeps.
Did you know that there are over a million units falling off their owner's hands right this very minute? Yup! There's over 1 million klutz like me who at a point of buying their phone, have already dropped them. Que Horror!
That's why I chose to have my phone protected by something really snazzy!
Blame my childhood and exposure to a lot of tech gadgets
thanks to my male cousins and my dad that I tend to want (and often buy) the
latest gadgets. Specifically those that Apple rolls out.
And why not when Steve Jobs clearly revolutionized the way we interact using our pointer finger sliding and pressing the smooth glass screens of their creations.
And can you imagive the progress they’ve had since? From
iPod to iPad! Wow! And because Apple is making faster and easier for us to do
things online, telcos has to catch up with us!
At work or at play, I want to be online 24/7 365. And that’s
exactly what I will be now that Smart just released their brand spanking new
SMARTLTE Ipad Plans!
The tough decision comes to choosing if I’ll get the iPad
Mini or iPad 4.
Girls says that I should go for iPad Mini. It’s more light
and handy (and every bit of an iPad) The boys, however, prods me with the gorgeous retina display and speed! Choosing a foundation is soo much easier! Seriously!
Thank God a fellow iPad crazed friend loaned me her iPad Mini to get the feel of it. It was love that I was hooked! But the experience wasn’t complete til I got to a hold of
the SMART LTE Prepaid Sim to try.
And lookee! Fast internet as I travel on the road! Got to watch 2 youtube videos without any lag as the taxi driver battle with the EDSA traffic! That’s connection progress. A far cry from what I enjoyed in my 3G connection.
Here's my "feeling like a tech blogger-mode video. Forgive me, I am a frustrated tech blogger. :)
Now I'm more convenienced to get a a new iPad just so I can be on LTE! Spending most of my days hauled up at work (with no youtube access! Argh!) I need to get my beauty guru fix on an iPad. And since I've had this, I tell you, it’s way faster than our internet in the office. Crazy, right? But that’s LTE for you, baby.
So, C’mon... help me out! iPad Mini or The New iPad?
The BF's parents are here and they came bearing gifts not only for their children and grand children they also included me in the list. And what I got from the loveliest couple I know, are too cute for words! They got me a couple of pretty iPhone cases that totally shows off my personality.
First is a neon pink textured rubber phone case that reminds me of makes me think of sound proof walls like those in music studios. It's matte and glossy. The feel is matte but the cubic ridge lines are glossy. It's got a nice grip and it compliments the thinness of my iPhone 5.
This hologram hard case for iPhone 5 definitely has more personality than I do. And though I'm not a fan of hard plastic as casing, I just love the design. I haven't seen a hologram casing for iPhone and now I wonder why! It's super nice!
-o-
I'm really a hard person to give gifts, too. But I'm glad my future in-law's knows exactly what I want and what I would enjoy! :)
They also gave me a Sex and the City perfume that smells so good! :) Yes, they do know me well and I gotta thank my BF for that. :)
