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 …
Zoning
“Zoning” by an unknown author at Entrepreneur.com is an important piece of information for home based business owners. Not only does it advise a home based business owner where to find information about their city’s zoning ordinance, but what you can do if you business is considered “illegal”.
Since I …
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 …
Bain de Terre Sugar & Fig Scalp massage scrub (magazine ad)
Now this is really a strange product. A scalp massage scrub? I have never heard of this before. But I won’t knock it until I’ve tried it. In reading this ad, I see that the caption indicates that the product exfoliates the scalp, leaving it …

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 …
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 …
Heat Magazine
Heat Magazine is a guilty pleasure of mine. It is gloriously gossipy and rather bitchy too, but it is difficult to drag my eyes away from it until I have looked through the whole thing. It has features on various topical glamorous celebrities (Katie Price, Victoria Beckham, …
Entrepreneur magazine
Entrepreneur magazine is among one of the best magazines i have ever come across especially for those who are young entrepreneurs or those who intend to start a home-based business.
Lots of business magazines out there are usually full of advertisements and basically it just defeat the purpose of getting …
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 …
Philippine Daily Inquirer
For me, Philippine Daily Inquirer is one of the leading newspapers in the Philippines. In fact last year, according to the research conducted by Neilsen Media Research, Philippine Daily Inquirer had once again ranked at the very top.
I am buying this …
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 …

Star Magazine
If you like to read about celebrities you will like this magazine. That is all it’s about. It’s also not filled with advertisements like a lot of the magazines are. It has pictures of celebrities, stories about them. It is a lot more entertaining than a lot of them. …
Garden Design Magazine
I don’t really learn anything about gardening by reading this magazine. It’s mostly about the pictures for me. Sometimes they’re so beautiful I want to frame them and put them up as wall art. This mag is almost like a look book. These aren’t do it yourself ideas. These …
PC World Magazine
I originally bought a subscription to this magazine when the school where I work was selling magazine subscriptions to raise money. I have continued the subscription for three years because I find that there are a number of good article in it. I particularly like the articles …
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 …
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 …
EUREKA TIMES STANDARD NEWS PAPER
In Eureka, there are two newspapers out, currently. One is privately owned by a local, very wealthy man, the other is THE EUREKA TIMES STANDARD NEWS PAPER. It doesn’t take a lot of reasoning, on the part of any of our locals, to know which newspaper is probably most …
Article : “The Last Chinese BBQ” Written by Francis Lam
“The Last Chinese BBQ” is a very fervent article written by Francis Lam about memories: Past, present, and future. I actually had to read it three times: The first time I kept getting distracted; the second time I just read through it without taking in what I was reading–distracted …
Taste of Home Magazine
I have come to love the arrival of the mail. Of course not for the bills, or the ordinary letters and advertisements we all get, but for the magazine that has been coming to my home for the last 4 years, “Taste of Home.”
As a chef wannabe, I’ve …

In Style magazine
When In Style magazine began several years ago, it was a much thinner publication than it is today. The articles were awesome. With a focus on the celebrity and their homes, it brought a unique perspective to the public. The first two issues pictured Barbra Streisand …
PBS - Programming/Pledge Drives
PBS is an awesome network that brings many shows to television that otherwise wouldn’t be there. There’s no doubt it’s the leader in children’s programming. Sesame Street still educates and entertains. Senior citizens can watch reruns of The Lawrence Welk Show. Music and science shows from …

fuse.tv (magazine ad)
I must really really be behind the curve where it regards cable television stations and pop culture in general. I ran across this ad for fuse.tv and I really got confused as to what it was. Shown in the ad is a large close-up of a …
Love Letters Radio Program on DXMS, Cotabato City
Last December 2, following a visit to my mother’s grave in the province for her death anniversary, I got the greatest shock of my life. While I was still in the bus, my cellphone began beeping and ringing like crazy. For a moment, I thought my employer needed me …
Runner’s World
I have tried to train for triathlon for some time now, and have been reading up on running a lot from anything I could get my hands on. Running is my weakest discipline, and so I have been trying to look for a training guide for this. I saw …
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 …
Yahoo News
Yahoo offers many important services such as groups and e-mail accounts. One thing that Yahoo has begun offering is news. Yahoo! News is very convenient. I am very busy and I seldom find time to turn on the television to watch the news. I also find it frustrating to …
Good Housekeeping
My mother subscribes to Good Housekeeping magazine and when she is finished with her monthly copy, she passes it along to me. Honestly, I would not subscribe to Good Housekeeping or pay money for an issue I saw on a rack at the store. I will, however, be happy …
Catherine’s Casual Wear (magazine ad)
What a horrible horrible ad. The clothes for this line are so ridiculously “Dress Barn” that no one in their right mind would wear them. They call it Classic Careerwear. And to tell the truth, the model shown looks extremely professional. The suit …
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 …
Wonderful magazine for women
I went to the store today to pick up a few things and came across this month’s issue of “Women’s Day” magazine. I admit it, I dont buy this magazine every month, I usually get it if there is something that interests me on the cover. This month featured …
Activ Flex Blister Block by Band Aid (magazine ad)

Sirius Satellite Radio
A couple years ago for Christmas I received a Sirius Satellite Radio for my car. I had wanted it because Howard Stern was moving from terrestrial radio to Sirius Satellite Radio. After requesting the gift just for that purpose I have found that there are many more benefits Sirius …
Glamour magazine
I was shocked to see that no one had written a review on Glamour magazine yet! Personally, I find this magazine to be one of the better magazines out there for women (it is my second favorite, after Cosmopolitan). Included in the magazine is just about everything …

Body and Soul magazine
This is by far my favorite magazine. It focuses on topics that range from healthy eating and stress reduction to cooking to relationships to spirituality. It has a new age bend to it, but it is never heavy handed with any specific type of philosophy. Rather, …
Tacori jewels (magazine ad)
You know what? I have never in my life had caviar. And I know that caviar (fish eggs) are quite the expensive delicacy. But I can’t imagine how they will ever be so luxurious to me that I invite myself to taste them. In …
Gadgets Magazine
The economic crunch has made me realize that I should be a little more circumspect in my shopping. I just cannot resist buying on impulse. To stop myself from grabbing the first thing I see and to put some discipline in me, I have taken to window shopping through …
