When it came out last year (2005), GIANT magazine was the coolest. It touted itself as being men’s interest, but I had such fun with it. Its book and movie reviews were sharp, plentiful and on the mark, the interviews were punchy and fascinating, and even the layout …

I regularly read the columns of Swami Sukhabodhananda in newspapers and listen to his speeches telecast on Aastha international channel.

Fox News does dish out news and commentary much like CNN though tears earlier, it was not termed even by members of the media as “mainstream”. And I t still remains NOT mainstream. Yet, Fox News captures the news and cable audience through out the world because it is …

I am not really a fan of Jennifer Love Hewitt. It’s not because of anything that she’s done per se. She actually seems like one of the more normal people in Hollywood. I just think that she’s not really that great of an actress. …

This ad depicts three people seated around a little speaker. At first when I saw this ad, I didn’t know that the commercial was for a speaker at all. In any event, the ad, which is in black and white (save for the products and …

I have seen the television commercials where the Life Takes Visa slogan is punctuated by all sorts of gregarious activities. It makes people want the freedom that a credit card sometimes feel like it’s providing. In this magazine advertisement, a guitar with five necks and five sets …

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 …

Daily Variety is one of the trade papers for the show business industry. It’s published every weekday, except for holidays, so it’s quite expensive. I’ve subscribed to it often over the years, back in the days when my salary was actually decent and the economy wasn’t such …

Halifax’s local newspaper is offered online as well at www.thechronicleherald.ca. I personally opt to visit this site daily, as I prefer the neat and tidy web surfing to flipping through the large, bulky paper that makes a mess on my hands and desk.
I do enjoy this site for its …

I am not really a Fergie fan. Personally, I feel that when she joined the Black Eyed Peas, they lost a little of their authenticity. The band suddenly became all about Fergie because she was the new snow princess to take the rest of the group to …

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 …

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. …

I first started reading the Daily Mail about five or six years ago after reading my Dad’s copy a couple of times.
One of the main things I like about the papaer is that it doesn’t really deal with celebrity ‘news’ instead, it deals with real news.
The Daily Mail …

I like when summer rolls around because it means some good outdoor cooking as well as fresh fruits; however, I didn’t really the Food and Family Magazine: 2003 Summer Issue because it didn’t have an abundance of summer recipes I was hoping to read about.
The front cover of Food …
