Nokia C3 has been making noise in the realm of mobile phones mainly because it offers great value for money. Launched in July 31 of this year, the phone's introductory price of Php6,295 drew a lot of people in getting a unit for themselves. After the first day's stocks got sold out, the SRP of Php7,295 now fills the market (lower prices are available in some stores).

The Nokia C series was manufactured mainly for the budget-conscious people who also wants good communication features. By communication, Nokia means accessibility to social and networking sites, as well as tools used for interaction with family and friends (i.e. email and chat).

Online shopping has gotten growing popularity over the last decade due to the convenience it brings to shoppers. Since I started blogging a few years back, I have already bought several items online, which I think were all good purchases. From t-shirts and gift certificates to external hard drives and digital cameras, the experience of shopping online has paved way for online purchasing that goes beyond the items available in my local country.

I have always known Merrell Shoes to be a good brand, but haven't purchased a pair still. Merrell has been at the forefront of urban active and multi sport shoes for over 2 decades -- no wonder their designs mostly settle for the classic, sporty look. Now a globally trusted brand, Merrell makes footwear of the highest quality with style and performance in mind at every step.

The restaurant was empty when we arrived past 3:30 in the afternoon, which made us think they were closed. However, upon closer inspection, the lights were just turned off to save electricity.

How sweet do you want your tea? What kind of texture do you want to feel when you sip through your favorite milk tea? Serenitea is like a celebrity that's been gaining popularity ever since it opened its doors to both tea and non-tea drinkers last year -- the former raving about it, while the latter discovers a new perspective of how different tea's taste can get.

Owned by Peter Chen (coincidentally my sister's batch mate back in high school) and Juliet Hererra, Serenitea is available in three of the most-visited places in the metro, namely Banawe, San Juan and Paranaque, and soon to open at Robinsons Place Malate and Alabang Town Center.

Third to fourth quarters of 2009 saw the introduction and formal launching of the Finnish company's first ever mini-laptop called the Nokia Booklet 3G. Though it has mostly the same capabilities as that of fellow rivals, Nokia has made use of its strength in creating mobile devices and translate them to fit a netbook. Their end product is gorgeous, portable, and user-friendly like their phones.

Here's the unboxing video of the netbook (forgive me for the shaky takes and some wrong grammar, coz this is my first time to video a gadget *lol*):

Aside from the common features such as a webcam, microphone, multiple USB slots, and Windows 7 Starter OS, here are the things that I've liked and the details that I think would need improvment.

Out of curiosity and the repetitive advertisements I see and hear, I finally gave in and bought a 75mL bottle of Freshman Masculine Wash last August 1. The small bottle costs Php77.75 and the bigger one was around Php100+. It comes in two variants -- one being more "menthol-y" than the other.

When I was younger, I always see the feminine wash that my folks were using at home. It got me thinking why they have a special wash for their vajayjay, while men only use plain soap for the penis. After many years, a friend told me there's a Peni Soap that smells like Tutti Frutti... but I didn't try it out, mainly because I am not really fond of using hard soaps. I prefer using liquid soap for my body, and this time, for my private part.
