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, …
Modern Dog Magazine

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 …
Press Enterprise
Several weeks ago, I had to take a business trip to Bloomsburg, PA and found myself spending a few nights in that town (maybe I’ll take the time to write about that too). While at the hotel I made every effort to kill my boredom by reading the local …
Lord of the Rings Fan Club Official Magazines
I’ve always been choosy in joining international fan clubs and being halfway across the globe, it was always a question whether it was worth it or not, and looking back now, it was. Since the release of the LOTR movies and now “The Hobbit” trilogy, I have been taking my …

Channel 67 The City
I have had my XM Radio since November 2006 and so far I enjoy listening to it. What caught my attention was commercial free music. “The City” channel 67 is a channel that suits my taste. It is an urban channel and the selection is good. There is however …
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 …
Netflix
I have been using Netflix for about 3 months now.
It seemed like the perfect service for me and my partner. We are both great movie and tv-show lovers, but as we are both tough and only just starting on the career ladder we cannot afford renting or buying movies …
A helpful and interesting read.
Last night I purchased an Allure magazine from a local book store. I paid about $2.99 for it. On the cover of this month’s mag is a picture of Mariah Carey. Some of the headlines on the cover include, “Easy Sexy Hair”, “The Best Fall Makeup”, and “10 Hidden …
Article A Really Big Shoe Written by Jane and Michael Stern

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 …
Sparks Energy Drink (magazine ad)
I am surprised that I was surprised when the Vodka & Red Bull cocktails became all the rage. I have never ever heard Sparks energy drink. To be truthful, I am kind of leery of some of the drinks that are on the market right now. …

12 Noon Workout on 106.1 Philadelphia Pa
My office always has our radio station tuned to 106.1 in Philadelphia, Pa. Usually I tune out whatever is playing and concentrate on the phone calls I am making for work. Today I was work on some paperwork between noon and 12:30 and heard the “12 Noon Workout” on …
Doo Gro Mega Thick Hair (magazine ad)
This is perhaps the most aggressive yet generic ad I have ever seen for a hair care product. Doo Gro has been around for a little while. But I don’t think I have ever used it. Personally, I find the title of the product …

Clean Make-Up by Cover Girl (magazine ad)
Rihanna is a really fresh faced beauty. When she first hit the scene, everyone thought that she was just going to follow in Beyonce’s footsteps and perhaps be a cheaper knock off. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not necessarily a big Rihanna fan. But I …
102.3 KJLH
I am a huge fan of R&B, Hip Hop, and Old School Music. Living in Los Angeles, I have found the perfect radio station that best suits my needs and that is 102.3 KJLH. With KJLH, they value the community much more than other radio stations. They care about …

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 …

Aperture Magazine
This magazine, which started since 1950s, is a hit between both my parents, and still are till now. I guess the idea has creeped into me, and as an aspiring photographer for hobby, I certainly learn quite a lot of things just by looking at this magazine.
Now, be …
Luxury on Loan by BagBorroworSteal.com (magazine ad)
Let me first say that I would love to have lots of bags from Yves Saint Laurent, Fendi, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Kate Spade. But the idea that I would have to log into a website and “borrow” a bag makes me sick. I wouldn’t want to …
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 …
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 …

Life in Hell: A Baghdad Diary by Aparisim Ghosh
I just read an article in the August 14,2006 Time Magazine. It details the life of a Time Magazine writer in Baghdad. It is an important thing to read. It is sad, it is tragic, it should and will affect people’s opinion of the war in Iraq. If you …
Active Naturals by Aveeno (magazine ad)
Boy oh boy, once one cosmetic company catches on to something, then it seems like all the rest follow suit. I think that either Cover Girl or Revlon has discovered a way to help the consumer find her perfect shade. Now Aveeno appears to be doing the …
Daily Citizen
My parents are out of town until tomorrow and, because I’ve been checking on their house daily, they told me I could take home their newspaper rather than letting the papers stack up on their table.
Because of this, I have had a chance to look at the Daily Citizen …
Garnier Fructis Reshapable Hair Putty (magazine ad)
This guy is smiling or laughing his fool head off. It’s actually a nice, refreshing profile of the guy. But I have to admit that I am really surprised that a man was even chosen to market this product. Anyway, this hair putty is supposed to …
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 …
Bio-Oil Scar Treatment (magazine ad)
Now this is a new one for me. I had no idea that this product even existed. I have some scar damage and am always looking for products that reveal the great skin that I have underneath. (How is that for a commercial?) Anyway, …
