Pioneer Navigation System (magazine ad)
When I first took a look at this advertisement, I thought it was perhaps for a cologne. Then I thought—no—it must be a condom commercial. Then I saw the word “Pioneer” and immediately thought that it was for a musical device. I came to …
Top car magazine
As a natural car enthusiast Top Car mag is one of the monthly reading materials that I buy and I am never disappointed with the content.
I love all the unique features that they have in the magazine each time as well as all the regular stuff like new car …
Outside Magazine Travel Issue
I am very fond of magazines. I have a large collection of them, and my mother is always after me to dispose of them. She says I collect trash while I say I keep information. I have magazines on different topics that I am interested in. Travel magazines are …
Chadder’s Science Adventure - Day 1 (DVD)
Chadder is a chipmunk and I first encountered Chadder the chipmunk and his fun DVD on the first day of my volunteer work at a local Vacation Bible School one of the churches in our area was having.
It was the first time I had ever volunteered to help teach …

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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Essence magazine
I’m not an African American, but one of my favourite African American magazines is a magazine by the name of Essence. I usually see them being sold in stores, but when I usually get the chance to look on them is when I’m either in a waiting area, or …
Fresh 102.7
Everyday at work I listen to the radio station Fresh 102.7 (Las Vegas, NV). I have come to appreciate the DJ’s sense of humor, especially Suzy. The traffic reports are accurate and timely. I drive to work during peak hours in the morning and I am rarely late due …
Journeys.com footwear website (magazine ad)
This website is for the athletic footwear enthusiast. In the middle of the page is shown a terribly trendy sneaker, hovering over the words “an attitude you can wear.” I like this phrasing because it’s powerful when applied to something as trendy as a sneaker. …
People magazine
I buy People magazine every single week. I love it because this magazine doesn’t only talk of celebrities , it also has lots of articles about big news that is happening around the world.I would say it is 50/50 mix of celebrities and human interest.
People magazine debuted in 1974, …
Citicards (magazine ad)
Credit card commercials are usually pretty inventive. There was one that I ran across in Wired magazine that really caught my eye. The ad features a fairly large house and the garage is painted in wild colors, with a crazy graffiti-like design. The caption …
Muscle & Fitness Hers
I have been going to the gym since I signed-up for a lifetime membership with Slimmers World in 1994. Back then (at least in my country) gyms were domains of the men and 2-lb weights were for aerobics only. My fitness instructor was male and so was my trsining …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Grace To You By Pastor John MacArthur
I do really appreciate the radio program “Grace To You” which is aired on FEBC DZAS every night at 9 in the evening Monday to Friday.
The preacher of the program Pastor John MacArthur is a gifted preacher who is an excellent exositor of Bible doctrines and teacings. He …
Klipsch sound system (magazine ad)
Again with all the technology, and the merging of it with music. Here we have a young man seated at his notebook with an electric guitar in the background. I guess you get the impression that he’s interfacing his music with some sort of software. The …
Coconut milk shampoo by Organix (magazine ad)
Here we are again with the ads for cosmetics and other beauty products that have food in them. However, doesn’t this sound really lovely? Coconut milk sounds refreshing. I understand that it is good for you in terms of nutrients. But from the looks of …
Computer Shopper Magazine
My wife is a subscriber of Computer Shopper Magazine. At first, I am against with her subscription to that magazine because it will be piled up on our center table or shelf. But when time came that our desktop had a problem and I told her the errors I …
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 …
Computer Active Issue 265
Computer active is a simple, easy to understand magazine which has been running for ten years. It costs £1.59 from most supermarkets and other retailers.
Inside the issue there are several features, as well as the ongoing sections such as the exclusive, free download and the letters page. The cover …
Fox News
I watch Fox News sometimes but I don’t watch it a lot. I consider myself somewhat of an independent and most of the shows in my opinion do have a conservative bias. Some of the main anchors include Sean Hannity, Bill O’reilly and Greta Van …
Mix96 - KYMX 96.1 - Christmas Season
Radio Station KYMX in Sacramento, referred to as Mix96, launches into a holiday season of music each and every year, though it’s not always the same. Two years ago, Christmas music began after Thanksgiving. I eagerly looked forward to a repeat last year and was ultra disappointed …
Shades 5th Avenue by Redken (magazine ad)
Again, there is a blonde with wonderful luscious hair and a pert little pouty mouth, and blue eyes. I wish that advertisers would get a bit more creative than just sticking a blonde on a magazine page and thinking that the world will buy their products because she’s “beautiful.” …
Lucky Magazine by The Conde Nast Publications
I bought this magazine from our local store and boy how I regret them. They are really thick and seem like a fashionista must have. It is really deceptive to look at especially since they are super thick and I thought I am getting value out of my money. …
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 …
O: The Oprah Magazine
Oprah’s success as a talk-show host gave rise to the birth of O The Oprah Magazine. I love this magazine. It is the printed version of the TV talk show which I find so informative. I like that they keep it real here, discussing about real-life issues and using …
Marie Claire Magazine
I have been reading Marie Claire Magazine since its debut issue. I was in the 10th grade, that makes the timeframe around 1995 when I was 16 years old. Even as a young girl I could recognize a great magazine. I have been reading it through …
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 …
Look: A Philippine Fashion Magazine
Whenever I have the time, I like to browse around magazine stores, especially second-hand magazine stores such as Filbars, to see what the market is offering in terms of magazines, both local and international magazines. Although I still like international fashion magazines, I have long ago learned to depend …
Real Simple magazine
Real Simple is a magazine which contains information about productivity, recipes, occasionally workouts, organization tips, and other things to get your life straightened out. I have been a subscriber for about two years now and have been a huge fan so far.
I read Real Simple for the first time …
A great shopping guide
I recently subscribed to a new magazine called “SHOP etc.”. And all I have to say is that I absolutely adore it! This magazine is the ultimate shopping guide for women. I love to shop. I am addicted to it.
I just finished reading the August 2005 issue the other …

This magazine is …
One Touch diabetic monitor (magazine ad)
There is a huge close up of a real life mother. Her name is Kelly. She has diabetes, and she’s a mother. It’s very interesting that they chose this particular style of ad for such an important little device. I like that they used …
Time Magazine
Time Magazine is a tradition, and that’s pretty much how I look at it. I don’t take any news publication as gospel because in my opinion, just about everything is slanted, one way or another. However, I do like Time Magazine as a leader in information and …
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 …
Shape Magazine
There are more fitness magazines for men than there are for women. Since starting my weight training program, I was always hard-pressed to look for books and magazines dedicated to women weight trainers. I found Shape Magazine in the magazine section of the library of my school. I enjoy …
Magandang Umaga
There are a lot of things to go around and buy in the mall, I guess everyone must have thought that one way or another, spending without having to worry about money would be really fun! This I guess is what we all wanted to experience anyway. Well, there …
