Radio Program at DZMM
I woke up this morning at the sound of my mom’s radio playing in the background. There were laughs and discussions that seemed nothing serious. Well I never really liked to listen as to what she is up to with the radio, but today was different because she was …
Myles of Style HGTV design show (magazine ad)
I don’t think I have actually seen this show. But I am a huge fan of shows which transform living spaces into little wonderlands. This show is hosted by a black woman named Myles. I have never heard of her. But I think …
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 …
V05 Extreme Style Hair Products commercial
Now THIS is a commercial I really like. It’s a two-page spread that I found in Blender magazine. On the first page, you see a woman and man in an elevator. First and foremost, I must say that whatever building they’re in looks incredibly classy. …
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 …
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 …
Shepherds Voice Radio Program

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 …
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 …
KYMX - 96.1
Radio stations come and go with the decades and certainly in this day and age, more attention is given to playing company favorites than fan favorites, and that frustrates me. After listening to country music for a few years and becoming totally disenchanted with its same repetitive tracks, …
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 …
OK! Magazine (celebrity tabloid magazine)
Of all the tabloid rags on the shelves in grocery stores, it seems that OK! Magazine is one of the most reputable ones. Stories have broken in OK! Magazine that haven’t even captured speculation from other publications, like Life & Style, and Us magazines. A more …

Article: “Put A Little Science In Your Life” by Brian Greene
“Put A Little Science In Your Life” by Brian Greene is an op-ed piece about how important science is, yet, no one really understands it or uses it in their lives.
First, the article begins with a reference to a letter Brian received from a soldier in Iraq. Instead of …
Article A Really Big Shoe Written by Jane and Michael Stern
Gourmet Magazine co-writers, Jane and Michael Stern, compose an article that makes your mouth water and leaves you scrambling to make travel arrangements to get to Springfield, IL for the “horseshoe” meal. If I had not read this article and the description of such a meal called “horseshoe”, then …
Geico Insurance (Therapy Ad)
I recently saw this ad on TV and I found it to be pretty amusing, this is the Geico commercial in which there is a caveman on the couch in a therapist office and they are talking about his problems. He makes a comment that all of his problems …
Wells Fargo (magazine ad)
I have always believed that young people should think about how they’re going to take care of themselves (and each other) in the near future. I realize that this mode of thinking is not always prevalent amongst the very young. But this ad in Essence magazine makes …
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 …
CRNTalk with Robert Conrad: Stanley Livingston radio show
On February 18, 2010, CRNTalk with Robert Conrad did an interview with Stanley Livingston, who is best known as playing Chip Douglas on the 1960’s TV series, My Three Sons. While the interview covered only about a third of the half hour radio show, it was an informative …
Mineral Sheers Powder Foundation by Neutrogena (magazine ad)
A great big, make that HUGE photograph of Jennifer Garner is being used to market this cosmetic. The powder foundation appears to be giving this actress the model glow that she has all the time. The delicate dimples in her cheeks don’t hurt either. Her …
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 …
National Geographic Magazine
One of the magazines I have always enjoyed reading is the “National Geographic Magazine”. In fact, I did not know there was also a National Geographic cable television channel until I received it from my cable company a few years ago. Thus I can say that it was the …
The Hindu Magazine
The Magazine is a weekly supplement with the Hindu newspaper. I am a regular reader of this supplement which comes on every Sunday.
Though not well designed, it is still a thing to be kept in treasure because of its amazing content. The Magazine covers plethora of activities and personalities …
Vanity Fair Magazine
Vanity Fair Magazine, to me, personally, could be called a “Scandalous Magazine”. I have some copies at home, which my mom bought like almost every month, and I love flipping pages usually. First of all, I am totally amazed by how good the photographers’ shots were, and …

The Price is Right Game Show
The Price is Right is a game show that runs on CBS. In my opinion The Price is Right is the best game show. Drew Carey is the current host of The Price is Right and he is always very energetic which makes the show a whole …
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 …
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 …
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
For the past year I have subscribed to Entrepreneur Magazine and I have loved it. The articles and topics presented have been very helpful and they are enjoyable to read. I found the whole presentation of the magazine to be very professional and visually pleasing.

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 …
Nivea Natural Tone Moisturizer (magazine ad)
The couple shown in this commercial are too beautiful for words. Their entire faces are not even shown in their entirety. But the woman’s thick, luscious curly hair, and the man’s close cropped do are quite prominent. Their creamy café-au-lait complexions don’t hurt either. …
Mossimo clothing (magazine ad)
Target has really come a long way with their clothing. No longer are the clothes relegated to people who simply can’t “afford” to shop in regular department stores. The people behind Target’s clothing know that a great deal of the population (richer and poorer) like …
New Idea Magazine
I do admit that I love to read tabloid magazines for my leisure and relaxation time and I saw this gossip magazine on the newsstand with the headline: Ange’s Shock New Interview - “Why I let Brad Cheat”, it features a smiling Brad Pitt and a gorgeous Angelina Jolie …
Canadian Living magazine
These magazines, Canadian Living, always look so appealing, so last year, I got a one year subscription. While I do occasionally enjoy the magazine, to be honest, I don’t think it was worth it to get a subscription. Part of my reason for feeling this is that you end …
Entertainment Weekly
My favorite news magazine is Entertainment Weekly. I understand this is not a source for news going around the world, but news of the multi-media venture. I don’t mind. I am tired of turning on my tv, seeing items that do affect me, but depress me. …
Seer
I regularly read the columns of Swami Sukhabodhananda in newspapers and listen to his speeches telecast on Aastha international channel. He has a unique knack of telling issues in scriptures in a simple language. The seer’s teachings are simple but not simplistic. He talks are interspersed with humorous anecdotes …
