Cosmopolitan Philippines
I take after my mother who absolutely loves magazines. I have a lot of subscriptions, and one of them happens to be Cosmopolitan Magazine. At first glance, Cosmo is a radical magazine for Filipinas, who are known around the world as conservative women. Although Cosmo has the requisite discussion …
Bon Appetit magazine
I think this is a really amazing magazine, full of ideas, recipes, articles and beautiful photos of appetizing food, designed to make your mouth water. For me it is helpful, well written and conscious of the times and the economy that we are currently experiencing.
I have subscribed to …
Reminisce magazine
I subscribe to the “Reminisce” magazine. It is full of information that brings back the “Good Old Times”.
Readers send in their nostalgic photos, stories and articles to share with other readers. There are various features including pictures of your last childhood, name that car, short memories, when TV was …
Giant magazine
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 …
Fox Movie Channel
I watch this channel sometimes and I don’t believe that it’s a really good channel when it comes to watching movies. This channel is normally not included with basic satellite and cable packages so it will require an upgrade. In my opinion it’s not worth paying extra …
Star Wars Insider Magazine
If you are a Star Wars Fan (and I am) you will love the new look and fell of the magazine. Recently licensed by Lucasfilm, Titan Publishing has taken over the production and distribution of this magazine and done many exciting things to encourage new and old fans/readers …
IKEA “Too White” (tv ad)
When this commercial comes on, the viewer sees a completely white room, with beautiful white furnishings–great art…a really inviting space. The camera cuts to a white couple sitting in their very white living room reading. The woman is thumbing through an IKEA catalog. We can …
Custom Creation Foundation by Revlon (magazine ad)
Jessica Alba is again used for the Revlon cosmetics line. This time, instead of lip color, she is being used to focus on her skin. This is one icy broad. Even when she is supposed to look fresh and friendly, she looks fake. I …
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 …
Make-A-Wish Foundation (magazine ad)
I would never think that Nigel Barker, photographer on America’s Next Top Model (ANTM) would be the focal point for a Make-A-Wish Foundation ad. In fact, I don’t know that I have even seen ads like this before. In any case, Nigel is seen holding his …
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, …

Ryan Porter (MSN.com Journalist)
I usually enjoy reading the news that is linked on MSN.com, and mostly find the articles informative, entertaining, interesting and the perfect length to stimulate the mind on those hum-drum days at work. HOWEVER, this particular reporter never ceases to amaze me.
Ryan Porter writes the “dramarama” articles you find …

First, I was glad when …
Kipling bags by Fergie (magazine ad)
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 …
Family Circle Magazine
I recently bought the November issue of Family Circle magazine. It caught my eye while I was waiting in line at the grocery store. The cover stories that interested me where- “Slow Cooker Suppers, Walk it Off, and 30 Organizing Solutions.” Well, what a waste of money …

First of all it comes in glossy …
Alli Diet capsules (magazine ad)
Again with the diet pills. I have seen these advertised in stores in plenty of magazines. But I am still grappling with how these pills are supposed to work differently than other pills. Anyway, these pills are said to help people lose 50% more …
Chadder’s Science Adventure - Day 4 (DVD)
I had volunteered to help teach Vacation Bible School this summer for the first time! I signed up to be an assistant in Chadder’s Cinema Science!

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 …

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 …

Cosmopolitan magazine is my favorite magazine. I can learn so many things in this magazine that I cannot find easily on the internet. I got my first ever copy of it last month and I was so excited to open it since it’s been a long time that I …
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 …
TV Guide Channel
The TV Guide Channel began essentially as just a scroll of cable listings. Now it’s a network with original programming. The one theme that is consistent is that TV Guide Channel is all about entertainment and nothing else. You may find paid programming during the wee …
Cover Girl Queen Collection Lipsticks (magazine ad)
There is no better spokeswoman than Queen Latifah—to market the Queen Collection lipsticks. I imagine that this line of cosmetics was renamed specifically with this woman in mind. She is a great spokesmodel because she doesn’t exactly fit the traditional mold of someone who models for …
Zip 103 FM
I think Zip 103 FM is a radio station that many young people in Jamaica listen to. I would have included myself in that statement also, but I can’t because I stopped listening to it about two or three years ago. Nevertheless, I would still recommend it to many …
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 …
Kohl’s Vera Wang clothing line (magazine ad)
First of all, I had no idea that Vera Wang even had a clothing line at Kohl’s. But from the look of the ad, I wished that there was a Kohl’s nearby. In the ad several young women are draped across what looks like …

Makulay ang Buhay Marketing Campaign
Have you seen the latest campaign of the Knorr Meaty Seasoning? It was really amazing and I guess this is one of the best TV advertisement ever show in the modern era of TV media advertising. Their main concern was not only to sell the product; their campaign also …
Metroactive: A Magazine for the Weekend Warrior
I have been a long-time reader of Action Asia magazine, the magazine that is all about travel and adventure in Asia. It is a fascinating read because I have to admit, I am a weekend adventurer junkie. I was happy to find this magazine called Metroactive in my local …
Beyond the Headlines news talk show
One of the radio talk show programs that I find to be both interesting and
sometimes annoying is a programme called “Beyond the Headlines”. Although I
am still not one hundred percent sure what time it starts, I know that it
usually airs on weekdays in the evenings after either the five …
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 …
Birds and Blooms magazine
If you love the outdoors and bird watching, you’ll love the Birds and Blooms Magazine. Each issue is loaded with bird pictures. Although many pictures and most of the magazine is written by professionals, a great portion of each edition is made up of reader contributions.
One of my …
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 …
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 …
Anchor Blue clothing line (magazine ad)
Oh no it’s happening. There is another Hollywood blonde who is trying to nose in on the fashion world. Anchor Blue, I am assuming is the newest clothing line to hit the market. Headed by media whore Heidi Montag, this ad is everything you …
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 …
