The iRover hoverboard is here! Is the hoverboard what I expected? Perhaps not, but it still promises to be a lot of fun. 😀
My first hoverboard encounter was in the movies
Hoverboard from Back to the Future 2, starring Michael J. Fox
I remember that I was a teenager when Back To The Future came out in the theaters. In the sequel where Michael J. Fox goes to the future, I was one of many who saw him use the hoverboard and wished that I had one of my own, too.
It is 2016, one year past when the movie was supposed to be set, and the hoverboard is here! It isn’t quite the same as what they predicted in the movie — it is not controlled by electromagnetism, it does not actually float, but, to a certain extent, it does give the feeling of hovering, of levitating.
Superman, Magneto, Thor … growing up, I’ve speculated on what super-power I would want to have if I could have one, and levitation or flight was definitely somewhere on the top of the list. After all, who wouldn’t want the ability to glide effortlessly across the room? Guess what? To a certain extent, we can do that now! It’s not the same as in the movie, but the feeling is close enough.

Doctor Who is one of those pop culture phenomenons that have invaded our lives for many generations. And with regeneration as the Doctor’s method of cheating death, this allowed many actors over the years to create their own interpretation of how The Doctor will look, act, and behave.
Who is your favorite Doctor?
When people learn that I am a fan of the show and that I have been watching for a long time THAT is usually the first question I get asked … even by people who are not even really into the show.
I cannot speak for my fellow Whovians but I, actually, find that question very difficult to answer. As a matter of fact, it takes me a while to give a complete answer. Each regeneration of The Doctor brings with it not only a completely new body but also a completely new personality. Some things I like, some I don’t but, let’s be honest, it’s the full package that makes The Doctor the most interesting, intriguing character that he is.
From the first doctor to the latest, every single one of them has that special something that makes the Doctor one of the most interesting fictional characters in speculative fiction (also known as sci-fi/fantasy).
Perhaps it would be safest for me to answer in this manner … by categorizing.
Who is my favorite classic Doctor Who?
The Doctor I met first.
Tom Baker plays the 4th regeneration of Doctor Who
The Doctor, I believe, I was introduced to as a child was the 4th Doctor, Tom Baker (from 1974 to 1981). Since I was a child when I saw these on our black and white TV I did not have clear recollections of what happened on the episodes of the show but I remember the funny man with the scarf running around. 😀 Also, I liked his companions, Sarah Jane Smith and K-9!
Elisabeth Sladen played Sarah Jane Smith in the Sarah Jane Adventures. She was also the original Sarah Jane Smith opposite Tom Baker.
Speaking of Sarah Jane and K-9, I was really happy to find out a few years ago that they were given their own show called The Sarah Jane Adventures which ran from 2007 to 2011. I totally agree that she was a companion that deserved her own show. I was sad to see it end but accepted that even good things had to end sometime. I got a kick every time she said, “Mr. Smith, I need you!”
Peter Davison is my classic Doctor Who!
Peter Davison plays the 5th regeneration of Doctor Who
Perhaps because I was older by then, I found that I enjoyed watching the 5th Doctor, Peter Davison (from 1981 to 1984) the most. He didn’t have the ‘fro (LOL!) and scary eyebrows of Baker.
Doctor Who and his companions Tegan, Nyssa, and Adric.
In contrast, Davison was actually babyfaced! What I had difficulty understanding, though, was why 5 (Davison) had so many companions! Let me see if I remember it correctly — there were these two non-humans, a girl and a boy, then there was a female (human) flight attendant. Did I miss anyone?
I always wondered, though. Why did The Doctor use a celery stalk to accessorize his jacket? I personally like the smell but I certainly won’t use it to accessorize my clothes! I’d eat it before I’ve even left the house! Lol! I’m sure the answer is out there somewhere. Hmmm … googling it now. 😀
Who is my favorite 21st-century Doctor?
Every time a new doctor comes out I tend to change my mind (or reaffirm my earlier opinion). 😀 The better question, perhaps, would be … Who is your favorite Doctor Who RIGHT NOW? And to answer that, I would like to do a rundown first of the Doctors who appeared starting 2005.
Before 2005 the last Doctor Who to grace the screen was Paul McGann in 1996. He has the privilege of being the actor who played Doctor Who onscreen the shortest (one episode/movie) yet held the role longer than anybody else (1996 to 2005). While not onscreen Doctor Who was kept alive through radio plays and books.
Paul McGann plays the 8th Doctor Who in the TV movie. Check out how Victorian his TARDIS IS! How the Phantom of the Opera meets steampunk! 🙂
Christopher Eccleston (the 9th Doctor)
Christopher Eccleston reintroduces Doctor Who to a new generation of Whovians as the 9th Doctor Who
While The Doctor has never been the most cooperative or congenial character, I guess I expect him to not look too sinister either.
When Christopher Eccleston made an appearance as the 9th Doctor I had mixed feelings. I loved the clothes (leather from H2T, how can you go wrong?) but he just didn’t quite fit the image in my head of what The Doctor should be like … this is while knowing that each regeneration is different from the previous ones, mind you. I suppose, in my head, this was because I was still seeing him in other roles where he usually played the villain such as in The Seeker: The Dark is Rising.
That aside, though, I concede that he did a pretty good job. Otherwise, I would have lost interest in the series and stopped watching, instead of being completely hooked on it as I am. 😀
David Tennant (the 10th Doctor) stole my heart.
David Tennant is the Doctor with the catchy catchphrases … alonzi! molto bene!
When Eccleston regenerated into David Tennant in mid-2005 I wasn’t sure how I felt. While I was ok with Eccleston as The Doctor I didn’t know what to expect with Tennant. It took me, perhaps 1 or 2 episodes to settle in and then I could not help but love him. 😀 To be more precise, I really enjoyed his portrayal of The Doctor that I did not want his stint to ever end. I believe he felt the same way. Doing a flashback now on his last episode where he actually says, “I don’t want to go.” and pouts.
I remember a time when I called him a kissing bandit because, of all the Doctors, he was the one who got to kiss the most people. And then it hit me. He wasn’t the one stealing kisses. He was always the one being kissed! And when his companions would end up falling for him, I thought it was conceivable. I was just watching him on TV and I was falling for him myself! 😀
Rose Tyler, Martha, Captain Jack Harkness, Queen Elizabeth, Madame de Pompadour, the Zygon, and the list goes on …
Fun facts:
- 10 was the first Doctor to admit to falling in love with his companion
- Even after 10 regenerated into 11, we all know there is still a version of him out there, with Rose Tyler in the other dimension. This means that at some point we can hope to see him appear, however briefly, in the show again.
- Captain Jack Harkness (played by John Barrowman) was lucky enough to get his own spin-off called Torchwood.
- David Tennant married the daughter of Peter Davison, Emily, which makes Davison his father-in-law.
- Peter Davison appears in a special quick episode of Doctor Who (Time Crash) with David Tennant as the Doctor but as his older self. They both explain the paradox as “wobbly-wobbly-timey-wimey”. This was a fun episode. I enjoyed it immensely! 🙂
Time Crash was broadcast in November 2007. It is a mini-episode of Doctor Who starring David Tennant and Peter Davison both playing Doctor Who at the same time
Matt Smith (the 11th Doctor) is the Raggedy Man.
Matt Smith plays the 11th regeneration of Doctor Who
When Tennant became Matt Smith I was like, “What the frack? The Doctor got older and more kulit?” Imagine my surprise to discover that Matt Smith is actually the youngest person to ever play The Doctor. I guess he just has that kind of face. It’s the lines.
At the same time, there was just something so lovable above him. He was like a kid in so many ways. His sense of wonder and joy, how he just seems to always want to play. Perhaps he was a lost boy and just got out of Neverland?
What made Smith appealing to some fans is what made him annoying to me, and why he is probably called the Raggedy Man, he just flops around a lot. He’s like a kid with ADHD – he can’t seem to stop moving. And when he does stop, you know there is trouble coming. Because when he stops that means he is in serious mode.
The best part of Smith’s stint, in my opinion, was The Ponds, Amelia and Rory.
Amy (Amelia) Pond and Rory with The Doctor
Peter Capaldi (the 12th Doctor) is a rockstar!
Peter Capaldi as the latest (12th) regeneration of the Doctor with his companion, Clara Oswald (played by Jenna Coleman)
And now we come to the latest person to play Doctor Who – Peter Capaldi. He holds the record of being the oldest person to ever play the Doctor. Even older than Hartnell who was only in his 40s at the time that he played a grandfatherly Doctor.
In contrast to Tennant and Smith, Capaldi does not like to be touched or hugged (or kissed!). He is quite stern yet still a kook! Unlike his predecessors Capaldi came out in several episodes playing on an electric guitar, wearing Wayfarers (which we later found out were his sonic glasses) and a long coat. Talk about Mr. Cool!
Is it mean of me to say I am glad that Clara Oswald (aka Oswin aka The Impossible Girl) is out of the picture now?
So who IS my favorite Doctor Who?
Of them all, I would still say I am a Tennant girl but … I’ve only met Capaldi for two seasons to date and he is a close second. Who knows? He may just make it up there and take the first place. How about you? Who is your favorite Doctor Who? I wouldn’t be surprised if you say, John Hurt, the War Doctor. 🙂

What’s the next big thing that you want to achieve, now that you’re starting your career, and earning your own money? Do you have a plan on how you are going to spend your hard-earned cash? Are you thinking of buying a new phone, a laptop, or a new wardrobe? While these may be tempting, for sure you are also dreaming of having your own car in the future.
The biggest question you might have is, “Kaya ko na kayang magkaroon ng sariling kotse?” Now don’t you worry because we have an answer for you! As you are earning your own money now, this could be your way to start saving up for your dream car.
And since New Year just ushered in, it would be best to add this on your bucket list this 2016! Always remember that it’s never too early to reach your dreams. So better start saving up!
“Looking for a car that matches your need and budget is an exciting experience, especially for a first-timer. Before deciding to bring home that dream car, a number of things have to be considered. Below are a few tips that may guide you, young dreamers, in making wise use of your hard-earned money to help make that dream come true,” says Pepe Carlos, VP and head of BPI Family Auto Loan Division.
Yes, at this point in your life, it may seem intimidating just thinking about how to get your own car, but with proper guidance and advice from the experts, you can make your dream come true!
Here are three tips that can help you in planning, saving up and finally bringing home that dream car.
Know which car is right for you.
Determine what kind of car you really need. It is quite challenging, so you need to carefully study your options. Whether you’re a businessman, an architect, an engineer, a call center employee, a social media specialist, a sales and marketing executive, etc., choose the car that is best suited for your daily use.
When choosing your car, several things such as car brand, model, price, and your budget should be well thought off. You may visit www.bpiloans.com, a virtual car showroom, where people looking for a brand new car can view and compare the vehicles that are available in the market today. It has a comprehensive car buyer’s guide, a user-friendly auto loan calculator, an easy to use self-assessment test and a simple online application form.
Plan your budget well.
In getting a brand new car, your budget may be the most important concern that you have to think about. You need to ask yourself, “What can I really afford?”
Before you decide on making that purchase, list down your expenses. Check out how much you spend for your daily commute; see which part of your daily/monthly budget you can cut down or save.
There are other incidental expenses related to the purchase of a car that you also need to take care of like car insurance, chattel mortgage, and registration fees, among others. Some banks offer FREE insurance for the first year, so it’s important to check what offers are out there too. You can take a portion of your mid-year bonus and other monetary incentives you’ll get to add to your savings so you can allot it for the down payment of your dream car. It is typically at least 20% of the car price.
With these penned down, you can now calculate how much your monthly amortization will be, given a certain down payment via www.bpiloans.com. You can take the 60-Second Online Loan Pre-Qualification tool found in the website to see if you’re already qualified to apply for BPI Family Auto Loan. It’s easy, convenient and hassle-free!
Ask the experts
Reach out to the experts who know about bank financing for your Auto Loan. Seek a conversation with a BPI Family Bank representative to help you make the right decision and get the best deal. You may visit any BPI branch or drop by 102 Paseo in Makati to have a chat and learn more about your options.
So what are you waiting for? Getting your dream car is possible!
Pepe Carlos concludes, “A lot of people think that the process of buying a car can be a challenging one. But as long as you are informed and prepared, it doesn’t have to be.”
With BPI Family Auto Loan, let’s make your dream happen!

Nothing describes Gary Valenciano quite like his moniker “Mr. Pure Energy,” He is the very image of youthful vibrance, whether onstage or not. That’s why it shouldn’t come as a surprise that he values the way he looks the same way that he values the core of who he is: a prayerful, faithful husband, dependable father, and an outstanding entertainer.
Part of what makes Gary stay young looking is his head of hair.
What many people don’t know is that, like all other men his age, Gary once worried about hair thinning and hair loss. That’s why, at the first signs of the problem, Gary sought to find ways to prevent it from becoming worse.
“I first noticed the hair loss in the shower, after I toweled my hair dry. Then one day, my team of hairstylists noticed that my hair was thinning, too. That’s when they told me to look for the product that Fanny Serrano was using, a product called NOVUHAIR,” remarked Gary on his journey to regaining control over his hair loss.
NOVUHAIR is a topical scalp lotion that is a unique combination of 14 different natural ingredients and essential oils for a healthier hair and scalp.
One of the factors of hair loss, according to studies, is stress, something that Gary experiences on almost a daily basis.
Other factors include hereditary disorders, a persistent illness, major surgery, hormonal problems, childbirth & delivery, medications, infections, pollutants, and even excessive exposure to sunlight.
And contrary to popular belief, hair loss is as much a problem for women as it is for men. In many cases, hair loss may be prevented or alleviated through early detection. In the case of Gary, his decision to try NOVUHAIR to prevent his symptoms from worsening made a big difference, and within a few months, he saw remarkable results.
Gary shares his experience with Novuhair
“Hair loss runs in our family, too, even if it sometimes skips a generation. My brother and grandfather both lost their hair, but my dad still has a full head of hair at 87. I just wanted to make sure I take control of my symptoms.”
“Now, I use NOVUHAIR everyday, and I’ve noticed that I don’t shed as much hair as I did before, especially after toweling my hair dry. And my hairstylists noticed it, too. I love using NOVUHAIR because it has this minty, cool effect that makes me feel like my hair is always clean and fresh.”
“In less than a month and half, I already saw results even if I was told to wait three to four months before I can see a difference. The effects on me were much faster.”
“There were fewer strands on my white towel, which basically was within the normal boundaries of hair loss for an average person. Before using NOVUHAIR, I used to shed more.”
This is due to the fact that NOVUHAIR penetrates deep to help rejuvenate, nourish, & maintain moisture in the scalp and hair. By improving the blood circulation in the scalp, NOVUHAIR helps stimulate hair growth and aid in preventing further, excessive hair fall, while also improving the overall appearance of the hair.
“I never endorse a product that I did not experience first. I have to make sure it is really effective. With Novuhair, I can say that it has really contributed to my peace of mind and overall well-being.”
“And, heads up, as Novuhair is now part of my daily routine, which includes prayer, diet, and medication. God has truly lived up to his promise in my life, and as he says in Psalm 92:14 ‘I will keep you fruitful even in old age. Fresh and green.’ I am very happy now that Novuhair is a part of that.”
NOVUHAIR, Nature’s Answer to Hair Loss is available in all Mercury Drug outlets, Watsons, Rose Pharmacy, South Star Drug & Manson Drug, Metro Gaisano Pharmacy, The Landmark (Makati & TriNoma), J Centre Mall (Cebu), KCC Malls (Gen. Santos City & Koronadal City), NCCC Malls (Palawan & Davao), Gaisano Malls (Davao & Gen. Santos City) and online at www.regaloservice.com and www.lazada.com.ph.

There are two things I like to order every time I go to Mrs. Graham’s and those are the Apple pie soda and macarons for dessert. Yum, yum! #comfortfood (at Mrs. Graham’s)
I was dubious at first when they said Apple Pie Soda but one sip and I was convinced. Now I know what drinking an apple pie tastes like. It isn’t apple juice. You can really taste the pastry in the drink.
Mrs. Graham’s is located before F7 on Rallos Street just off Tomas Morato in Quezon City.

The Satchmi Store was packed to the brim for their 1st birthday. A celebration of Satchmi’s love for records, music, and the lifestyle they cultivate together with their community of friends and loyal customers.
It’s no surprise when we saw people pouring in from all directions to the store. When you step in, it’s as if you’re in another world separated from the mall itself. There was free food courtesy of Mr. Graham’s Sandwich Shop, their highly talked about Cebuano along with chips and dip filled everyone’s appetite throughout the event. In tandem were Mrs. Graham’s macarons straight from her cafe, specially made for the event complete with vinyl record designs and plating. Their Apple Pie Soda was also served during the party as well as Craftpoint’s Summer Sessions. All free aside from Satchmi’s esteemed third-wave coffee.
People got to experience fun and games throughout the event like spin the wheel with prizes from Satchmi’s lifestyle brands — Happy Socks, Lost Nomad, Gouache Bags, The Green House Project, Sunday Paper Co and more, there was also a sleeve face Photo Booth contest, by the end of the night the most creative photo got to take home a Motorino Mk II. A Satchmi event wouldn’t be complete without performances from their favorite artists BP Valenzuela, Reese & Vica, CRWN, and up-and-coming Coeli. Chip Balbuena — a comedian from Comedy Cartel’s line up was also there to provide some laughs for the night.
The main event was when Satchmi released a video showcasing what was next for them this year. Some of the things announced were that they are opening a 2nd branch in Quezon City (exact location still top secret) in early 2016, the Motorino Mk II now comes in the new color Silver bidding goodbye to the Ivory model, a new Satchmi Blend of beans exclusive from EDSA Beverage Design Studio coming soon to the store and most importantly, a new vinyl compilation that is composed of some of their favorite performers from Vinyl Day 2013 to 2015. Some of the artists include Autotelic, Oh, Flamingo!, BP x CRWN collab, Tandems ’91, She’s Only Sixteen, Reese & Vica, Imago, Taken by Cars, and more! A total of 12 tracks for a vinyl produced and manufactured entirely by Satchmi. The vinyl, entitled “General Assembly” (and rightly so) will be released sometime in 2016.
“It definitely is hard to believe how far we’ve come,” says Edric Chua, co-founder of Satchmi. “When we started out with just a couple of records and an online store, we always used to talk about opening a brick and mortar store until eventually the opportunity presented itself to us and we took it,” he adds. “From an online store to an actual physical store, and now we are not only distributors but producers and manufacturers of actual vinyl records — for a couple of vinyl enthusiasts, it’s amazing to see how far we’ve come,” says Aislinn Chuahiock, another co-founder of Satchmi. When asked what their secret was into getting this far, Ronald Sy – Managing Director and co-founder of Satchmi simply said “It was really a collaborative effort. Both within the team and with everyone we’ve ever worked with. Our loyal customers and everyone who has ever supported us also helped materialize what we’ve been planning for how many years.”
Vinyl records have been around for a while now and although the emergence of technology and digital music has proven to lessen physical music sales, the fact that vinyl is slowly growing and emerging to be the ultimate and most genuine medium shows that a love for the good old days will never go away. Satchmi has been the frontrunner in making vinyl records accessible to everyone and as proven today, they are here to stay and we couldn’t be any happier.
Satchmi is a music and lifestyle brand with a love for vinyl records, worldly goods, and everything in between. Visit their online store at www.satchmi.com or their physical store at the 4F Mega Fashion Hall, SM Megamall.

If you are a woman and your are self-conscious about your body I am sure that you (like I) are worried about things like unpleasant odors “down there” and dark inner thighs. I’ve used many feminine washes over the years and the one thing I hated about them were the medicinal smell. Ew! Who wants that?
pH Care Coolwind, my default scent
Then I heard about pH Care. For the longest time the scent I liked was Coolwind. As you can tell from the pic on the right, I like it a lot! It’s empty now, hehehe.
What do I like about it? It is slightly mentholated and, therefore, leaves me feeling fresh and clean all day. Keeping myself clean by washing with pH Care every time I use the toilet helps even further.
I am not the only one in the family to use pH Care. So does my daughter, my sister, and my niece.
My daughter is a dancer. This means that more than anyone else, she finds herself in a situation where other people get up close and personal with her intimate area.
Erika dancing in the Nostalgia concert of LSDC Contemporary
Imagine how embarrassing it would be when her partner lifts her up in that pose and he gets a whiff of stink. Ew! With pH Care she has the confidence to move any which way and know that she still smells and fells fresh and clean all day, every day. And that is using Coolwind. Imagine how much better it would be with all-natural scents?
Experience natural care “down there”
Everyone’s going all-natural these days, whether we’re talking about organic food, health supplements from plant and animal extracts, and even personal care and beauty products. And, why not? It’s important to make sure that what we ingest or apply onto our skin is something that won’t harm us.
The folks behind best-selling feminine wash pH Care have an intimate understanding of the importance of using natural ingredients for your most sensitive part, your bikini area. This is why they’ve come up with their all-new pH Care Naturals line in two variants: pH Care Naturals Papaya and pH Care Naturals Guava.
pH Care Naturals Papaya
pH Care Papaya
There are a lot of factors that can influence a woman’s confidence when it comes to donning that swimsuit, including “puson” problems and cleavage consciousness. But one other common insecurity many women have is dark skin in and around the bikini area, and this is something they can feel self-conscious about even in the comfort and privacy of their own rooms and bathrooms.
And while there are many products for whitening dark skin in other parts of the body, most of these aren’t safe or suited for use in intimate areas. Now, however, pH Care has a new whitening feminine wash that uses natural ingredients, so you keep the sensitive area fresh and fair.
The new pH Care Naturals Papaya cleanses the bikini area while the papaya extract, added to its formulation, aids in skin-whitening, so you get fairer skin in as early as 14 days.
pH Care Naturals Guava
pH Care Guava
Even if you’re not overly concerned with dark skin, you may still want a feminine wash made from natural ingredients that will still keep your intimate area fresh and clean. After all, in a hot country like ours, sweat can lead to discomfort, even body odor, and infection—and it’s worse when it involves the bikini area!
But no need to worry; pH Care Naturals Guava has been specially infused with guava leaf extract, which is well-known for its cleansing and anti-bacterial properties over the years. So if you’re 1 in 3 Filipinas constantly seeking for natural solutions “down there,” then give pH Care Naturals a try. It will naturally deodorize the area so you can feel confident regardless of outfit, activity, or even weather.
The NEW! pH Care Naturals variants are available at leading supermarkets, drugstores, and beauty stores. For more information, check out facebook.com/pHCare.

A while back I posted about the flash sale of Lazada where they featured the Lenovo A7000 Plus. Several bloggers were invited to the unboxing of the Lenovo A7000 Plus at Lazada HQ. There were tech bloggers and lifestyle bloggers.
Everyone had different blogging techniques that I found interesting to see. One was making a video blog on the spot. Another blogger brought her own lamp. And some would use natural light (aka, bring the unit to the window and use sunlight) for their shots. I opted to trust the camera of my phone (Samsung Galaxy S5) and Photoshop.
Some would write on the spot. And there were others, like me, who opted to take our work home.
I look forward to events like these because they give me a chance to fiddle with the gadgets. And that’s exactly what we got to do today.

Considering the price I was expecting a low-end phone with entry-level specs. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that quality does not have to be expensive. Its features are almost comparable to the Samsung Galaxy S6. Its response time was really fast. I also wondered about the glass since Samsung comes with Gorilla glass and was told that it uses Dragontrail, instead of Gorilla glass. Dragontrail and Gorilla are very similar in performance. The main difference … the manufacturer.
The camera took really good pictures, too. Both the front and back cameras. We tried to compare the rear camera of our phones with that of the Lenovo A7000 Plus and it stood up well.

“Hair loss runs in our family, too, even if it sometimes skips a generation. My brother and grandfather both lost their hair, but my dad still has a full head of hair at 87. I just wanted to make sure I take control of my symptoms.”
