CNN’s coverage of Chilean Miners Rescue
Like thousands in America and I’m sure around the world, I was tuned into the coverage of CNN when the miners in Chile were rescued. This event captivated the globe for the last couple of months. These 33 men were trapped below ground, and no one even …
Article A Really Big Shoe Written by Jane and Michael Stern
Gourmet Magazine co-writers, Jane and Michael Stern, compose an article that makes your mouth water and leaves you scrambling to make travel arrangements to get to Springfield, IL for the “horseshoe” meal. If I had not read this article and the description of such a meal called “horseshoe”, then …
Canadian Living magazine
These magazines, Canadian Living, always look so appealing, so last year, I got a one year subscription. While I do occasionally enjoy the magazine, to be honest, I don’t think it was worth it to get a subscription. Part of my reason for feeling this is that you end …
Verizon V-Cast (magazine ad)
I am no fan of Keyshia Cole. I am not saying that the young can’t sing. But it’s obvious (since this ad is in Essence Magazine) that the majority of African American youths are infatuated with this woman. She’s very attractive, with a smooth café-au-lait complexion …
Breast enhancements by Natrelle (magazine ad)
Ok, so you’re supposed to want to get breast implants when you can’t even see the breasts of the model who supposedly has them? I have heard of Natrelle before. But I don’t really know what the difference is between getting implants according to the selection your …
Redbook Magazine
I have been a subscriber to Redbook magazine for close to a year now and have been a fan since eighth grade, when I discovered my mom’s collection in the spare bedroom. Like many magazines, Redbook has come downhill quite a ways. Fortunately, there is still a bit of …
White Lucent Eye Treatment by Shiseido (magazine ad)
The purple is a really good idea. For some reason that particular color denotes a majestic aura. In this case, the eye treatment that is being advertised is given a polished look through the centering of it on the page, and with the color. The commercial …
Mix96 - KYMX 96.1 - Christmas Season
Radio Station KYMX in Sacramento, referred to as Mix96, launches into a holiday season of music each and every year, though it’s not always the same. Two years ago, Christmas music began after Thanksgiving. I eagerly looked forward to a repeat last year and was ultra disappointed …
Sirius Radio
I really enjoy listening to Sirius radio. I like the variety of the selection of stations. I find that I hear songs I have not heard in years.
Sirius radio is satellite radio. The sound quality is excellent.
There is something for everyone to enjoy from Talk radio, …
Stuff Magazine
When I first bought stuff magazine I thought, hey, they are just using a picture of a pretty lady on the front cover to sell this magazine. True it probably does boost the sales, but when you open the magazine, there is so much more! Stuff magazine is described …
Psychology Today Magazine
Psychology today is a really good magazine that has been out for a while. It is the best solution when you are looking for something to read while waiting for that bus or on a train. It is a collection of a few 3-5 pages articles, mixed with some …
Saveur Magazine
So far I am quite disappointed with my subscription to Saveur Magazine. Having been a subscriber to Bon Appetit for years and loved every issue of that publication, I started to consider adding another subscription. My first thought had been to go for Gourmet, since it comes …
National ENQUIRER magazine
This is one magazine that I buy even though I do know you can’t always believe every thing you read. Sometimes, they do have the “real” scoop and it makes some of these celebrities very mad.
This magazine has had a lot of law suits against it but continue to …
Gadgets Magazine
My brother and I take after my mother who loved to read magazines. When we were younger, magazines use to be a luxury because there were only a few local magazines in the Philippines. We were inundated with magazines from the US, and I grew up reading them. Free …
PC Magazine
I started getting this magazine due to a mistake on my part. I had been getting PCWorld magazine and one of my nieces came around selling subscriptions for her school. I saw PC magazine listed and misread the name thinking it was PCWorld -which I love, and I subscribed …
Shepherds Voice Radio Program
I do really appreciate the radio program “Shepherd’s Voice” on DZAS-FEBC. The moderator of the program Brother Jurem Ramos of Soli Deo Gloria Church which is based in Davao City, is an excellent preacher of the great doctrines of the Bible and courageous expositors of false teachings so …
Aqualumiere Gloss by Chanel (magazine ad)
Chanel is one of those brands that will always stand out because of its reputation. That reputation is one of distinction, extreme sophistication, luxury, and even excess. The lip gloss they’re marketing should be no exception. And to display that, they chose a very …
Jaguar XF (magazine ad)
If ever there was a magazine ad that captured sleekness, power, and luxury this is it. The XF looks like one powerful machine. Shown in sleek silver, it covers two whole pages. The first page gives the customer a view of the front of the …
Comcast Triple Play ad campaign
In my lifetime, I’ve seen more commercials than I care to think about. Some of them are classics, poignant ads that somehow warm your heart, and others are on the total opposite end of the spectrum — annoying things that just make you want to turn off the …
The Sunday India
Once waiting for the train at station I came across the Sunday Indian (TSI). I bought to pass my time since it was too cheap and looks smart enough to attract the possible reader. This is a weekly magazine published from New Delhi, India.
After going through the first issue, …
CVM News Watch

Daily Citizen
Everyone knows that the best way to stay informed about what is going on in town is by subscribing to the local paper. In Beaver Dam, WI, that’s not the case.
The local paper, the Daily Citizen, has been around longer than I have. And, at one time, it was …
Jane Velez (CNN)
Jane Velez has a show on Headline News, in which she comments on the latest political story, scandal, crime story or gossip topic of the moment.
Until her show came along, I really didn’t think any one person could get on my nerves quite as much as Nancy Grace, but …
Boating Life magazine
Boating Life magazine is a magazine that I never ordered but has been coming to me for several months. I think I may have signed up for something like this when I attended a boat show several months ago. This magazine first and foremost is a magazine for boaters. …
Chatelaine Magazine
Chatelaine magazine is something I receive monthly and get excited when it comes in the mail.
For me, it’s the perfect women’s magazine for someone in my demographic who is both into homemaking and into current events and health.
The magazine covers has articles on career, financial advice, news, reviews, health …
HyattPlace.com (magazine ad)
I don’t stay in hotels too very often. But this commercial for Hyatt hotels is a very convincing way to get people to think again about staying there. In any case, a woman is shown sitting on a huge sectional sofa. Her feet are …

I started reading femina when I was in college.Then I was this tomboy who never cared.True to its name femina has helped me a lot in devoloping my own poise and dignity.

As a gym buff, I have to have my own bible for health and diet concerns. This magazine was first introduced to me by a friend. My first copy was an international issue with Paul Walker in the cover. The US version was good but most of the contents …
Nintendo Power Magazine
Nintendo Power is a Nintendo-product-oriented magazine that provides up-to-date news on upcoming games, exclusive content, and reviews of games and Nintendo products. The magazine usually has a central focus, one particular game that gets the biggest feature and review, but covers a wide range of games for all …
Good Housekeeping magazine
Whenever I am in a waiting room I have always bypassed Good Housekeeping magazine and instead reached for a celebrity gossip magazine, Glamour or Marie Claire. I always assumed that Good Housekeeping was for older women, maybe in their 40’s and 50’s with grandkids, spouses and a home grown …

Xerox “Practical Color” (magazine ad)
This is one of the juiciest ads I’ve ever seen. The people at Xerox have really put some thought into what was going to catch the readers’ eye. This one did it for me. As soon as I turned the page, I saw …
The Girls Next Door (E! network show)
Everyone loves Playboy, all things associated with Playboy. Hugh Hefner is an American icon. Known for playing host to some of the most decadent parties in the world at the Playboy mansion, this show focuses on the personal life that he shares with his three girlfriends, …
Real Simple Magazine
I usually don’t like lifestyle magazines because they’re all over the place. Real Simple has all the same information as those other magazines, and yet it’s very different.
I think it’s because all the information in this magazine is put together in such a simple, paired down to its essentials …
Food Magazine: Philippines’ Largest Selling Culinary Magazine
I am teaching myself some life lessons, and one of them is the simple chore of cooking. When I was growing up, I was not encouraged by my parents to be domesticated, pushing me instead to studying. As a result, I grew up to be a kitchen idiot, not …
Wired Magazine
I used to be absolutely in love with Wired Magazine, but over the years I have found that this magazine is declining in quality. I noticed the big change sometime around last year. I’m a big technology geek and when it came to my technology news, Wired …
The San Tan Sun News in Chandler Arizona
I lived in the mid-west long ago and always enjoyed the local papers in the various small towns where I grew up as a preacher’s kid. They had that homey feel that made you feel at ease and I found the stories more interesting than the larger newspapers with all …
Good Housekeeping September 2008 issue
I must say I am very impressed with Good Housekeepings September 2008 issue. It is jammed packed with great ideas on how to save money, which everyone could learn from.
On page 164, GH claims that you can save $70 a week by doing a few things such as …
Popular mechanics magazine
Popular Mechanics is a monthly magazine that looks at science and technology through the eyes of everyday people and mechanically inclined people. I like this magazine because it looks at new inventions and innovations, but then it shows and tells you exactly how they would impact your everyday life, …
Wide Eye Schnapps (magazine ad)
I have never heard of this particular liquor before. I don’t even know what flavor it is. The ad says that “this is your wake-up call.” A woman is featured sitting in one corner of the ring. She is blonde, fully made up, …
DogFancy Magazine (on One Year Subscription)
I had a subscription to DogFancy magazine many years ago, when I was in middle school and students got special incentives to sell magazine subscriptions at fund raisers. I ended up buying myself a subscription to the magazine to keep up with all things dog-related. I remember …
Lake Tahoe Nevada State Park (Hilfiger magazine ad)
At first glance, I really assumed that the pretty blonde model in this ad had one leg submerged in water. It was not until I looked closely that I realized that the camera angle is what was responsible for the optical illusion. The woman is featured …
Dance Spirit Magazine
The Dance Spirit Magazine is the best magazine that I have found for the common dancer. Unlike Dance Magazine, this magazine is a lot of fun to read and includs many styles of dance. You can find new chorepgraphy, costumes, music, schedules, and much more insde this magazine. They …
