Globe's MyFi

I'm just about giving up on our Skybroadband wi-fi thing here at home. For the past 2 weeks, it's been acting strange. We lose our connection between 8-830am every single day, afterwhich, the signal goes on and off the rest of the day. Thank God we still have our trusty Sun Cellular broadband "stick" as reserve. I heard about Globe's newest product from a very good friend and saw a lot of Tweets about its performance, so we got one for Father Goose and tried it out for ourselves for a few days before giving it to him. It's definitely God sent!

At home, you can use up to 5 laptops simultaneously. The speed is amazing as well. It's a wireless router with its own sim so you can also use it while in the car. I tried it myself and I have to say, I wasn't disappointed at all. Even while mobile, the speed was consistent, no pauses or downtime.

This made me decide to eventually get one for ourselves. We chose the postpaid kind, which charges you P999 a month, unlimited surfing. The prepaid pack is a bit costly because you need to purchase the device at more than P7K.

My rating? 5 stars definitely!

Beauty Finds : Sunsilk Straight to Perfection and Olay Beauty Bar

The shampoo is not new to me. I've been using it for a few months now and although through the years, I've been switching from one brand to another, I think I've found THE brand I'm gonna stick to for a while.

Been using the one in the purple bottle, Sunsilk Straight to Perfection. Most of the time and even with my rebonded hair, I don't even need to use conditioner. I just do when I'm in the mood to blowdry or style my hair after a shower. Otherwise, just with the shampoo I'm good to go. I also love that the scent is not overpowering and is fruity with a hint of strawberry. My 14 yr old claims she likes it too, so everytime I go to the grocery I make sure to grab two sets, one for each of us.

The bottles you see in the photo above are the imported packaging. These are the bottles I get when I'm in Puregold Subic. In Manila though, they're packed differently but use the same bottle color.

My most recent switch is the one I made to Olay Beauty Bar, Age Defying variant. I've seen and read a lot of good reviews about this line so I made the big jump from body washes to this. I admit, it's not as convenient to use vs. the liquid type. But it's extremely lathery, I don't need to use much on my bath lily. Again, I'm big on scents and this one isn't overpowering either. I've already stocked up on a few more bars after buying just one to try out. After a few showers, I decided I was going to use this for a while.

It comes in other variants too : Fresh Reviving and Ultra Moisture with Shea Butter. They all promise younger-looking skin in just 7 showers. Hmmm...we'll see about that!

Meantime, I hope you all give these a try. They're really worth it!

Tweet! Tweet!

I never thought I'd be hooked. But guess what? I am now officially a Twitter addict.

It's even better than reading the papers. I follow a lot of news-related accounts and get realtime updates from these. A few good friends have signed up too so we also use it to communicate on a daily basis about anything under the sun. I've just downloaded the newest version of UberTwitter for my Blackberry and although it's still a bit slow (the announcement of the new version was posted just this morning), I'm looking forward to it settling down within the day.

I would ask people to follow me but for now, I'd like to keep my account private and accessible only by people I know and verified accounts of reliable resources of information.

If you haven't signed up on Twitter yet, I suggest you do. But don't blame me for the addiction. It's almost impossible not to get hooked!
