South Bend Tribune
The South Bend Tribune is the only daily newspaper from South Bend, Indiana. In these tough times for print newspapers, the Tribune is showing no signs of giving up the ghost. They continue to provide headline international, national, and local news like clockwork. Like all newspapers, …
Look-Alike (TV Guide channel program)
There is something really whimsical about wanting to look like your favorite star, and then getting the opportunity to be completely made over by a panel of professionals. I have seen a few episodes of this show, and the most recent one I saw was the one in …
KDAY 93.5
I am a huge fan of Old School Hip Hop and R&B music as back in the 80s and 90s, urban music had much more substance and did not emphasize too much about violence, cars, clothes, and materialism. Living in L.A., I found my perfect radio station which is …
Chrome by Azzaro cologne for men (magazine ad)
Available at Macy’s. I think that when I start seeing this, I will automatically figure out that the product in question is of good quality. And in looking at this ad for just a few seconds, I am more than convinced that this product is of high …
US Weekly Magazine
I have friends who like subscribe to US Weekly Magazine almost regularly, and I thought of what the hype is all about, and started to buy them rigilously as well. But, up till now, I can’t really catch up what’s so exciting about this magazine. Here is …
Rouge magazine fall 2007
I got this small free magazine in the mail. I couldn’t remember signing up for it but then I remember it is a product of Proctor and Gamble and as I get their email coupons, I am now entitled to receive their magazine called Rouge.
Rouge is a brand new …
BBC World News (radio)
My family and I listen to the “British Broadcasting Corporation” or BBC a lot, and one of the things which I like about it is the BBC World News. Over the years that I have been listening to it, I have realised that both the one that is aired …
Food and Family Magazine: 2005 Fall Issue
I love the fall time not solely because of the golden leaves on the trees, but because it’s the best time for home cooks to bust on the slow-cooking recipes. In the Food and Family Magazine; 2005 Fall Issue, it captures everything about fall cooking for cooks: the fast …
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 …
Good Housekeeping magazine
Good Housekeeping has been around for decades. I grew up with the publication and I have subscribed to it on and off, as did my mother before me. My current subscription is one I received free online, and I’ve really enjoyed having it again since I couldn’t …
Men’s Health Philippines Magazine
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 …
Article : “Single-Handed Cooking” Written by JJ Goode
“Single-Handed Cooking” written by JJ Goode was the complete opposite of what I thought it would be. I thought it would be about a single parent or a single person in general working in the kitchen by themselves, but it turns out it’s about a guy overcoming the adversity …
Jennifer Love Hewitt’s Ghost Whisperer Halloween Goodbye Video
Just before Halloween 2010, actress Jennifer Love Hewitt released a video that was a goodbye to fans of her series, Ghost Whisperer. After five seasons on the air, the show had been canceled back in May. I’m not sure if the reason for the delayed goodbye had …
Alan Magnus Radio Personality
The Jamaican radio personality Alan Magnus has worked on Real Jamaican Radio or RJR as it is most commonly known for a very long time. In fact, I think he might just be the radio personality working there the longest. One can listen to him on weekday mornings from …
96.3 Lite Rock FM Radio
One of my favorite FM radio station in the Philippines is 96.3. I listen to almost all kind of music but I prefer the softer kind. I barely have time to listen to the radio but while I’m in my car, driving or jogging, I prefer listening to radio …
Borghese Nail Lacquer (magazine ad)
If I were looking at this ad without knowing that it was for nail polish, I might think that it’s actually for lip gloss. The model in the picture is very pretty. She sort of has a “Liv Tyler-esque” glow about her. And what struck …
Rush Limbaugh Radio Program
Rush Limbaugh is a conservative radio host. He is certainly the most successful conservative radio host out there. I agree with a lot of his views on certain issues but I believe that he is way to controversial and divisive. He is a conservative but I …
Jet Set: The Magazine for Today’s Stylish Traveler
Traveling is one of the best all-time favorite hobby of most people. It is very seldom that you will find a person who wants to be locked up away from the world (except monks, perhaps), and even couch potatoes have been known to watch travel shows. This shows that …
Countryside magazine
Countryside magazine is similar to Mother Earth News. It is a magazine for people who want to learn to live off the land and do tasks the old fashioned way, with minimal tools and hard work. It shows you how to live a simpler life style. It can teach …
Fit Body Multimedia Exercise & Diet Guide
I have been very interested in the fitness industry since I bought my lifetime membership to a gym. Part of my collection of magazines is fitness magazines. I use to make do with fitness magazines targeted for men because I found that there was a dearth of books and …
Canon Power Shot SD870IS (magazine ad)
I don’t know much about tennis. And I sure don’t know much about Maria Sharapova. But I can say one thing about this ad for the Canon Power Shot digital camera: this ad is lame, lame, lame. In it she’s shown taking pictures of …
National Enquirer
The National Enquirer is my favourite magazine. I love celebrity gossip, and the Enquirer happily provides it.
My husband jokingly refers to the Enquirer my “Bible”.
I used to love the column that Anna Nicole Smith wrote, it was very funny and yes, very wacky!!
I am not crzy about the issues …
Kohl’s Clothing Love Revolution (TV commercial)
I have never shopped at Kohl’s. But I understand that they have good bargains. When I think of Kohl’s, I think about the things that you would see at Target or Wal-Mart. And I think that the quality would be perhaps a little better, …
Reader’s Digest magazine
Reader’s Digest remain to be my top favorite magazine for years and I think that will stay that way for a long time. Reader’s Digest has travelled around the world for decades and they have provided valuable information, inspiring stories and a good time for their readers. They release …
US Weekly
I’m not a big fan of tabloid journalism and you won’t see me go out of my way to buy the latest gossip rag. But, I will admit one magazine had gotten some attention from me lately; US Weekly.
US Weekly still prints most of the same scandals as every …
Resolve Carpet Stain Remover Commercial
I just watched this commercial on Resolve Carpet Stain Remover. The guy doing the demonstration pours read wine, gravy, and some kind of oil onto a white, plush carpet. Then he sprays Resolve Carpet Stain Remover on it, and removes the stain.
I have just a couple of …
BLENDER magazine
BLENDER magazine is nonstop fun fun fun. I have a lot on my mind and do a lot of heavy intellectual reading — because I like to, frankly — and this magazine is always a great vacation from worry and deep thought. For example, every month they feature …
Euphoria perfume (Calvin Klein fragrance ad)
Facing you is a young woman, about 18 - 22 years in age. You can never tell because models these days are so young, and made to look so mature, that you could actually be looking at a 14 year old girl and would never know. …
Old School Wrestling (OSW)
On the internet, there is no shortage of resources for fans of professional wrestling. There is a majority that are distinctly American in their perspective, often marred by nostalgia. Save for the UK’s WrestletalkTV, the viewpoint of wrestling fans outside of the US is minimal. Fortunately, …
Veranda Magazine
I am an avid reader when it comes to books. But, I don’t feel the same way when it comes to magazines. I like magazines for the pictures. After all, it isn’t poetry that’s inside these magazines. Especially when the articles are routinely lengthy, I feel they’re just filler …
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 …
Women’s Health Philippines
I admit I am a health junkie. I go to the gym most days of the week and try to eat as healthily as I could. As I am not a doctor, I do a lot of research on the internet about health. I am glad that they came …
Money Sense finance magazine
Before, FHM and Cosmopolitan lord it over the shelves of every bookstores and magazine stands. Now, they still do but there is also a magazine that is creating a niche for itself and that is Money Sense.
Money Sense was born out of the need to address the growing …
Rohto Eye Drops (magazine ad)
“Feel the Eyedrenaline” is the title of this striking ad. I really like that the artists responsible for this used the visual (pun intended) option and ran with it. In the middle of the page is an eye. Part of the eye looks dry …
WRAL Morning News
I’m not really a morning person, but when Im up I like to watch the morning news on WRAL. What I really like about their newscast is the personalities. My favorite is Mark Roberts. He has a lot of energy and gives a good representation of what traffic is …
OTR Fan (otrfan.com)
This is yet another great web site for people that like to listen to Old time radio. Again, old time radio is what people used to listen to in about the 1920’s. There are a lot of good programs including mystery, western, comedy, as well as suspense. Some of …
The Dress Collection by Ralph Lauren (magazine ad)
Ralph Lauren is known for making really preppy looking clothing. Think lots of polo shirts, khakis, and clothes which are befitting a summer in the South Hamptons. But fast forward a bit, and you will realize that Ralph Lauren has come a long way in the area …
