The Three Things: Carrot, Noose and Limpet
December 15, 2011 by
If the three kings are visible this holiday season, I have three things that visibly smarten up utility accessories. These are items that aren’t only eye-love, but are fairly useful to me. No big preamble here as these are simple key items that have straightforward function. If you have panache for gadgets, traveling and keeping things in line, read on.
THE CARROT
In school, whatever gender orientation you have, both boys and girls put value in their pencil case and pick out one that best describes their likes and personality. Some pencil cases transform into robots, have secret openings, are multi-functional with attached pencil sharpener, eraser or magnifying lens. Others are dazzling with colorful glittery designs or cartoon characters. Instead of wallets that we fill with money with, in that early stage in our lives, pencil cases are the most prized possession. A valued container of our favorite pens, pencils, highlighters, markets, correction pens, erasers and such.
Instead of high-end retail outlets, stationery shops are our stores of choice then. We kept our pencils looking so neat and well behaved in a pencil case, so that wherever we take them… home, school bus, tutorial house, play dates or anywhere else, they don’t start going AWOL.

Hed Kandi Pure Eye and Ear Candy
August 26, 2011 by
Party people and music lovers know that Hed Kandi parties are intensely fun, glam and certainly one of the best! The Hed Kandi events blow the roof and the top reason is their engaging chic visuals and dope music that can get you going until the sun rises.
I’ve attended several Hed Kandi events in the past (my good friend Martin loves going and we usually go with our former colleagues we call Sabi family). Here are some of my favorite photos (one as old as 2004 and Bubba was still my friend then!)
Hed Kandi 2006 (March)
My PS Peeps!
October 2006
Sabi Family
Okay, this is Big Fish but we still love the music!
Those were the days. It’s been a long while since I last attended. Mostly because I can’t take the 2nd hand smoke I engulf and I have more appreciation for sleep nowadays. But the love for music is still there. Thank goodness for different media players available to belt out the beats.
Choosing from a range of headphones out in the market, it’s so easy to pick out Hed Kandi since it’s a familiar brand. Check out their website http://www.hedkandi.com/ for a complete list of their products.
I recently unboxed a sleek Hed Kandi Pure Kandi brand of stereo headphones. The blue headphones were carefully packaged in this small, sturdy, sweetheart box.
This particular line of Hed Kandi Pure Kandi has an ultra-thin adjustable metal headband. There are bigger bands nowadays in the market but for the ladies who don’t want their hairstyle messed up, this is for us girls!!! It’s lightweight and will barely disgruntle your hair.
Hed Kandi Pure Kandi is available in the following stores in Manila:
Power Mac
Power Hub
iStudio
Astrovision
Technoholics
Bratpack
Mobile 1
Xsite
8 Telecom
Abenson
Electroworld
Digital Hub
Digital Walker
Beyond The Box
I was debating whether to get blue or pink (I love pink but I also love blue) but in case Bubba wants to use them from time to time, I chose blue (although it does have a hot pink tangle-free 1.3 meter cord). The soft ear-pads are gentle and don’t put undue pressure to the ears.
Converting to ear pads other than the little earphones I pop inside my ear will damage my ear less. This specific Hed Kandi Pure Kandi ear pads still deliver audible, surround and pulsing music minus the hearing risk of direct sound coming from closer proximity of the smaller headphones.
It has a foldaway design fit for any luggage or overnight bag. However, it would have been better if I could also fold the metal band somehow.
Regardless, I particularly love the cushiony inside that makes my ears feel so protected. My ears have been thanking the soft-touch, rubber-housed earphones. The Hed Kandi Pure Kandi design is so chic and stylish, it certainly feels like an accessory. Modish, it goes well and is suitable with any wardrobe, from casual chic to runway glam.
Chris Brown Apologizes
July 21, 2009 by
Chris Brown publicly apologized for the beating of Rihanna, releasing a video on his website on Monday (http://www.chrisbrownworld.com).
Brown was arrested in February following a pre-Grammy party when he fought with his ex-girlfriend R&B princess Rihanna in a rented sports car. He was charged with felony assault. Brown was said to have pushed Rihanna from the car and repeatedly hit her. It came to a point where he almost choked her. He fled from the scene leaving a shaking and crying Rihanna.
He turned himself on the evening of the Grammy Awards, where he was supposed to perform with Rihanna.
In the two-minute video, he apologized to fans saying that he’s still seeking help and wants to live his life as a role model. He said that he was not proud of what he did. He also assures the fans that he has also repeatedly apologized to Rihanna. Brown referred to the beating as “the incident.” He calls his conduct “inexcusable” and says his mother has taught him better.
Brown in an earlier interview confessed that he witnessed domestic violence growing up. Before the beating, Brown was considered a squeaky-clean R&B up-and-comer. He rose to prominence after the 2005 hit “Run It!” He was nominated for a Grammy for “No Air” with Jordin Sparks and named Billboard’s top artist in 2008. The incident has clearly damaged his reputation. Brown lost sponsorship deals, radio stations stopped playing his music and other artists condemned him after the attack.
“I felt it was time you that heard directly from me that I am sorry. I saw firsthand what uncontrolled rage can do,” he tells viewers. “I have sought and am continuing to seek help to ensure that what occurred in February can never happen again. I intend to live my life so that I am truly worth of the term ‘role model. “
Chris Brown will face sentencing on August 5, 2009, which will likely be 5 years of probation and 6 months of community labor.

Hollywood Buzz
The Appren-tease in Jesse James Blindsided Sandra Bullock
I really liked Apprentice Celebrity Season 1 a lot and loved the clever Piers Morgan and his biting (but objective) tongue in it. I caught several reruns of Apprentice Celebrity Season 2 and was intrigued by it despite not having as many strategic players as the first one. Jesse James, 40, had a cool stance during the whole season and maintained his stand on not using his wife’s connections to get more money for their team projects.
Sandra Bullock, 45, was freshly minted with the coveted Oscar best actress awards several weeks back. Nowadays, she’s back in the limelight but not for her acting chops in Blind Side, but because of Jesse James’ infidelity. Not only with one woman –but with FOUR others.
The news broke when Michelle McGee told In Touch, she and James had unprotected sex once a week during their 11-month romance. Soon after, more women came out dishing about their affairs with James.
Sandra Bullock broke her silence to People Magazine and denied reports that there’s a sex tape with her and husband Jesse in it. “There is no sex tape. There never has been one and there never will be one.” Other than that statement, Bullock has remained quiet about her current relationship status with James. Many speculate that she will file for a divorce.
Meanwhile, Jesse James also denied Internet rumors of a sex tape. He said in a statement, “There is only one person to blame for this whole situation, and that is me. It’s because of my poor judgment that I deserve everything bad that is coming my way. This has caused my wife and kids pain and embarrassment beyond comprehension and I am extremely saddened to have brought this on them. I am truly very sorry for the grief I have caused them. I hope one day they can find it in their hearts to forgive me.”
His lawyer reports that James is struggling to get back into Sandra’s good graces. “When all is said and done, he wants the same people who were living in his house before all this happened to still be living there,” his attorney, Joe Yanny, said in a statement Monday. “And he wants to save his marriage with the woman he loves more than anything in his life.”
Ricky Martin is Gay
After so many years of keeping his personal life private, Latin pop star Ricky Martin admits in his book that he is gay. In his official Website, Martin says that writing his memoir and his twins are what made him go public about his homosexuality.
“I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am.” I think not a lot of people were surprised but it’s still a brave thing to come out in the open.
So Mr. PJ, when are you writing your book? 🙂
