At first, I was never really a fan of the line of Havianas slippers when they first arrived here in the Philippines (since it is a product made from Brazil). Not only were they expensive (I just can’t imagine wearing flip flops that is worth Php1000 (or roughly USD23), …

One of the sports that I like is tennis. I was enthusiastically following the recently concluded Australian Open 2011 and to my regret, the guy that I was rooting for did not win. I am talking about the World’s Number One–Rafael Nadal. Because this is the guy that I look …

The Tavo TG002-BL-L Gloves are regular gloves that are intended to keep your hands warm but they have a great feature called playpoint technology that regular gloves don’t have. The playpoint technology is a very good feature in my opinion because it gives these gloves the ability to …
