My Belkin Wishlist

At the mall, I saw some of the useful and unique items from Belkin that I thought it doesn't exist. Well, I am wrong. When I got home, I searched for it in the internet and discovered more items from Belkin. I decided to share with everyone my beloved list that I am wishing to have for this holiday season. *wink wink* Got it, I want this for Christmas.

Belkin Mixit 1.2 Meter Lightning Sync/Charge Cable (Blue)

First, the Belkin Mixit Charge Cable in color blue because I love blue. Haha I am a person who loves color why should I settle for black or white cord if I can have it in my favorite color, right?

Belkin Sport-Fit Plus Armband for iPhone 6

Second will be the Belkin Sport-Fit Plus Armband, I super want this. Well, because this is also blue like the cord on my first item. Then, when I am having my workout, it will be no hassle to bring a phone and play my favorite jam when I groove to the moves. While running, doing some curl ups and whatever action or moves I will do I know, it will be definitely stay on my arms no matter what! My phone is 100% secure.

Belkin Road Rockstar 4 Port Family Car Charger Port 7.2A (Black)

One of the best charger port for a car, I have ever seen! No more racing to charge on the only usb port in the car, everyone will have chance to charge their gadgets simultaneously. That's why it is called road rockstar! Rock on! *WANT WANT WANT!!!*

Belkin Universal Charger Kit (White)

To those people who loves to travel, we need this. It is a necessity. You can be anywhere and everywhere. Charging our phone with whatever sachet, it will not be our problem anymore. No need to buy extra adapter just to plug your gadgets because you have it all in this charger kit. Travelers are drooling right now because I am. Hahaha @-@

Belkin MIXIT Lightning to USB Keychain (Gold)

Lastly, I am saving the best item for finale. I need and want it badly. If I have this, no need to bring the long cords everywhere because I can charge my phone, share photos or videos in this damn little accessory. Very fashionable and discreet. I can attached it with my keys, or with my bag. Who would thought, it can be a huge part of our lives. haha

I also include my wishlist on Lazada. For more Belkin's items, visit Lazada site, make sure it is Belkin Ph by Macpower for original items :)

So how about you? Which one do you like the most?

What influences you to try a new restaurant?

***Photo randomly grabbed from google***

Most of these days, it’s easy to detect what’s in and what’s hot in the market. Just by logging in to our social medias, surfing the internet and checking out the trending subjects, you will surely know what to buy, when to party, where to eat or how to do certain stuffs. In our world today, we have the easiest access to the information we needed. How lucky we are to have what we called the internet. Searching ideas, reading news, blogging, checking our emails can surely take our time when we are online. Not only that, it also influences us on our daily lives. For example, I am looking for a new restaurant to try. Which online resources I usually refer and influence my decision?

In my case, I have a list…

No.1 – Social Media

If people are tweeting and sharing non-stop, they keep on raving something good about this restaurant, I will surely check on it. There are times, you just want to be in and be one of the cool dudes who went there first. Another scenario is if my favorite celebrity has visited a certain place and recommends it by sharing a photo on Instagram or facebook or a tweet pic. I will visit it too.

No. 2 – Blog reviews

Just like any blogger, your opinion matters. That’s why before I go to a certain place I check on my foodie bloggers for their ratings about the food of the new restaurant. If they gave 5 stars out of 5, I will hurriedly be going there, as fast as a lighting thief. As a blogger too, I want my reviews to be honest and detailed so I could help other people and my readers to know the facts and my opinion as well. Let our voices be heard.

No. 3 – Mobile Apps

Trustworthy apps just like looloo and trip advisor are one of mobile application that I truly rely on. Their recommendations are a must. I never gave them a doubt. They help us discover the hidden paradise of a foodie.

In short, I check on social media sites, then google about the new restaurant, click on the reviews either on a blog or on the mobile app. If I am convinced, time for a scrumptious meal. Yey!

Electrolux HUSH Happier at Home

Have you experience waking up in the morning because of a noise outside your room? Then, you get really irritated because your sleep was disturbed by the sound of which you can’t explain. You open your door and started shouting, “What the.. Beep beep was that sound?” haha Then, you saw someone just vacuuming your living room or someone is just preparing your breakfast with smoothies with a blender. You suddenly realize, when will be the day those appliances will become quiet. For so many years, vacuums and blenders are seriously noisy; nobody has a choice but to deal with it.

However, have you heard about Powermix Silent Blender and Ultra Silencer Green from Electrolux? If you haven’t, I can say, “That’s exactly what I wanted!” For the reason that they are the new generation of vacuums and blenders, they are noiseless. Yes, for the first time of my existence in this world. Finally, I can now enjoy my weekend with a quiet time cleaning my house with the use of Ultra Silencer Green and I can also blend some fruits with the use of Powermis Silent Blender. It is such a good news for me and to all those people who hate the noise of Blenders and Vacuums, we can now appreciate these appliances more and without a sound.

Photos of Powermix Silent Blender:

A weekend with Powermix Silent Blender and Ultra Silencer Green:

I can see myself, sleeping smoothly during the weekends, if someone is using the vacuum and cleaning the house. I will wake up in a good mood and relax than before. I will start blending fruits more often while watching television or listening to the music. I can hear the chirping of the birds in the morning and the chirping of the crickets at night. These simple moments will help me to have spent my weekend to be quiet and relaxing. As they say, best thing in life are free.

Bel-Air Residences Lipa: A House, A Home, and A Lot More

Lately, I been pushing my mom to buy our dream home because we’ve been renting for years and I told her that the money we spent in renting is just putting into waste. We have been invited to some open houses here and there, dreaming that one day we might found the right one.

What do I consider in my dream home? Of course, I consider the structure of the house, the neighborhood, the accessibility of the area and the price. Once I step in the house I like the feeling of good atmosphere, it should be well ventilated and the sun can shine thru. As they say, it can bring good energy and good luck to the house and to the people who lives in it. It would be nice if the location of the house is near the hospital, public market, malls and schools for my sister or future baby. Hihi Don’t forget the neighborhood, I want to feel safe for myself and for my family. I always look around the neighborhood if there is a guard to look out for our homes or if there is anybody who looks suspicious, report immediately.

I am not aiming for a mansion or huge house. We just need 3 to 4 bedrooms for us. A sala, dining room, dirty kitchen and I terrace. I want something right for my family. A cozy house with everything I need in it will be perfect for me. I want to feel the presence of love in our home. A simple house with a garage will fit for my family and to our needs. Just like what I have seen while browsing the Bel-Air Residences Lipa site.

Check out this, same as what I have in my mind a while ago:

Bel-Air Residences Lipa can be found in one of the best cities in the country.

Your choices of house units range from townhouses to two-storey units with floor areas as big as 88 to 165 sq. meters, all designed under the concept of “Modern Zen” architecture.

Owners will enjoy amenities like their own basketball court, a jogging path, a playground for kids, barbeque area, multiple parks, a pool, a lanai, a gazebo and a Club House.

Bel-Air Residences Lipa is near schools such as Ateneo School of Business, De La Salle University Lipa and many more. • Aside from being close to established hospitals like Lipa Medix Medical Center and Metro Lipa Medical Center, the village is walking distance from major malls such as SM Lipa, Fiesta Mall, South Supermarket etc. Other leisure places like the Mt. Malarayat Golf Course, The Farm at San Benito and famous Batangas dive sites are minutes away also.

I will consider this for my dream home. A rural place far from the hassle and bassel of life in Manila, count me in! Like BOHOL.=)

Hahaha) I don’t have the guts and the body to wear skimpy 2 piece swim suit, all I can offer is a nice pair of Tankini. Sexy but not too revealing, it can also hide my unwanted fat tummy. Haha Must-have-for-me.

4. Stainless Steel Bangles by Gucci

If I’ll have a watch like this, I can wear it anytime, anywhere or any occasion. The design is chic. I love the idea that this is a stainless steel. I can use this for a long period of time. Must-have-for-me.
