NICO BOLZICO Releases "Bullied Husbands Club - The Manual" on Lazada

 One of the most good looking guys on the internet Nico Bolzico aka the "The Bullied Husband" of Solenn Heussaff just released his own book called "Bullied Husbands Club - The Manual" in popular online shopping platform Lazada. 

His humor is different. Either with culture or upbringing, one could tell how it would always be fun in the Bolzico household as he narrates small anecdotes in this printed work. Marrying one of the most beautiful women in show business must have come with a lot of things, and one of them is dealing with an equally crazy life with a "Wifezilla". Nico's book details a few procedures how to deal with the everyday battles. One must not forget where one stands in the relationship, that men are only slaves and don't have anything to say other than YES on a normal day (I kid). He also goes the mile and gives good advice on small things so you don't have to suffer the consequences. 

 

Nico's celebrity friends, Lazada executives put their stamp on the book.

Congratulations Nico!

I read it in a span of 2 days, and I thought I wouldn't get his humor, but I did. Got my copy signed in a Lazada event a few weeks ago. I must say, the fine man is quite nice to talk to.

 To tell you honestly, I liked every bit of it. It's sort of a preparation if you're in the process of getting married. It's not all clownery, because at the heart of these conversations in his head is his way of telling you how it is done, how one should respect women in general. It's not just giving her what she wants, but thinking about what she needs and her freedom. Being married doesn't mean you would need to just stay at home and take care of kids (and dogs), women in this era can do so many things and being a husband means you need to support her among other things. You'll learn that and more in Nico's book. Although delivered humorously, it makes a lot of sense.

 This is also very affordable and perfect to have as a Christmas gift for men, if you haven't had the chance to get your spouse, boyfriend or male friend a gift... go to LAZADA today and take that leap to understand why the Argentinian man survived the Filipina wife. You can get the book HERE. Thanks to Lazada for having us!

Looking for Gifts? Here are OPPO Specials!

The holidays are coming and you're looking for a gift to give that special someone but don't know where to start, well here's guide we can give you especially for people who are into tech, your boyfriends included.

Check what he's into. If he's into gaming, social media, robotics, try and see what he often carries around when you're in a date, or when you hangout in his house, see what things he's into especially when you've been comfortable enough to spend overnight in his room, see where he geeks out on and take note. That would probably be a good place to start.

Look out for deals. Now, there are a lot of brands out there but see who's giving out a lot of discounts of freebies before you decide on what to buy. Take your own sweet time to compare with others if the specs make sense with what your boyfriend needs because it would be sad if it weren't an upgrade especially if he's good at MOBA and FPS games.

If you've chosen a specific model and brand, start watching reviews. YouTube has a lot of first hand experience documented. So whether you're choosing a phone, pc build, tech bloggers probably had them before it came out in the market. It's a good thing brands let vloggers borrow stuff from them so you don't have to second guess, just listen to the reputable ones that doesn't seem like they're pitching it to you like a salesman.

OPPO has some mean ones like the OPPO Reno6 Z5G and the OPPO Reno6 5G. They're fondly called Portrait Master because of the way it takes portrait shots which would be perfect if you're into selfies, or taking photos of loved ones. It also has Boke Flare Portrait, Portrait Beautification and AI so you can take those social media photos you're posting to another level. You have more reason to brag about him, or him to brag about you and look good in shots, why not right?

Here's Mary Bautista's review about the phone

OPPO has specials on your favorite shopping apps and I heard, they're taking 40 percent off on iot devices like the Enco Buds, Brand, Enco Air, Enco X and their smartphones from the A and Reno series. They've also giving away free Smart Watches when you get the Reno6 so really, that's a pretty good deal right there. It only will last until October 3 though, you've got to see them at the oppo.com/ph site if you want to get one today. Follow their social channels too (search OPPO Philippines on Facebook) because they announce their offers there too. 

 

 Not even kidding.

What to get your MAN these holidays

I'm currently confined in my room and braving the cold and just thought about this at quite an ungodly hour. I'm sure there are ladies out there that are probably still thinking of what to actually get their man this Christmas. Let me help you find a good gift.

Now I've been browsing the Shopee app for a few days now just so I could get a good deal off what I call my "planned purchases" because I've been wanting a few things for my room. I'm a content creator and honestly, I haven't had a gift for myself for a few months now as I was actually planning to buy big ticket items for myself. Here are some of the things I got this month, please don't judge LOL

 

 A Bar Table

I wanted to be comfortable while I'm writing so initially I planned to buy a BAR TABLE. It's those high tables and high chairs that you commonly see in cafes. It costs around 3.5K on a very good day but it can go up to around 12K if you want it a little fancy and made of hard wood. I was gonna be okay with the palochina at 3.5K (as I've seen quite nice builds) but I was always put off by the huge transport fees I was going to pay for because pieces like that only would commonly come from Cavite or Antipolo. QC was too far. I could also opt for the Bar Tables in SM but it was also too pricey, plus the transportation was pretty much gonna end up the same. So I threw in the towel and settled for something a little similar. I got a table off Shopee. It's like a bar table but can fit about 2 monitors and my laptop computer. The measurement was 120x40x75, and it did fit the space I had at home. It's also pretty sturdy, and the color is black so it fits my monochrome theme.

 

This only costs around 1K which was a deal in my books. So I had to look for a chair that could go with it and was initially planning to splurge around 3K for a pro Gaming Chair. But it was either you spend for it around 4K or go with the mediocre ones that cost around 2.7K. I was a little afraid to spend that much so I settled for something like this. It's a mesh chair and it did cost me a little around 1.2K on the same app.

 

 So in a nutshell I kinda saved a lot than going for the pricey gaming chair. All in all, it cost me around 2K for the supposed table and chair I planned to buy. I'm enjoying the table now as we speak but have yet to see the chair in a few days. I just bought it yesterday. Hopefully it doesn't have any damages because I've seen a few rated them (on their shop) low because of that. So basically I just DIY'd what I wanted to splurge on, and hopefully the chair is as good as this table I got because this was worth it.

 

Air Purifier UV Lamp Steriliser Box 

Now I don't know if this really had an effect but I think if it's just for the air why not right? I would advise you to also not use this when you are inside the room, I'd like to think that UV rays of any form is kinda harmful for the eyes and if a little does leak from this thing it would be a little harmful. But I'm no doctor lol. It only has 3 settings, low high and off. I'm still skeptic though, but this would be a nice thing to have to clean the air at home. I think I felt the difference because it wasn't too "air thick" inside my room.

A Nintendo Switch

Now don't be mad at me when you see this, but really, I think my Nintendo Switch has been the best investment so far. I not only use it for games but also for YouTube. It's fast, it displays so clear on my smart TV and I can carry it around if I want to. If I need to go to Tagaytay or remote places with no entertainment, this would be a good thing to have. Plus, if you are the wife or girlfriend, you get first dibs on player 2. The games are pretty expensive but you don't really need much variety, just make sure you choose your best games to play before deciding to purchase it. Or sell it to other players because it can even go a lot like the original price, the high resale value doesn't come in other consoles. Don't worry about the steep price because there are a lot of them on Nintendo Switch Facebook groups that sell them for a lot cheaper. They also have games there and sometimes, they even bundle it up with the consoles they are selling. Your man won't mind if it is second hand.

Old Spice Deodorant/Body Spray Gift Boxes

Your man doesn't need to smell like old country rags while at home. You need to make sure he's all armed and dangerous when you come whisking him away for a day. Now you can hug him, sing to him, hold him tight. Get him these nice looking GIFT SETS from Old Spice which is available on Shopee.

It's a little musky, but has fruity notes like watermelon, citrus, summery of mingh so you feel fresh while you are out working all day. I prefer the sprays but of course they also have it in stick form. Best thing is, you also get first dibs with your man and smell how crisp, clean he is when he gets home from work or play. Best thing is, they also got the gift boxes on sale so you get to save a few bucks while getting him smelling oh so nice! Check out the offers here.

Aside from these nice things, there's still no other way to make your man happy but by being there for him. Be with him in the good times and the bad times. A simple hug, kiss, small things that would make him feel important and it doesn't even have to be big. The simple things in life can mean the world to him, so don't stress over what to get him, he loves you and that's what is important.

Netizens Praise Alden Richards’ The Gift

The Gift: Review from Kumagcow
"If you're really looking forward to one of Alden's shows, this should be on your list." - John Bueno from Kumagcow #TheGiftWorldPremiere
Posted by GMA Drama on Sunday, September 15, 2019

That's what I said a couple nights ago when we got to preview Alden Richards' new project called The Gift. It already had its first week run and netizens couldn't help but praise what they've watched on TV and made really nice remarks on social media.

I felt the same way, connecting with the things that happened with Sep's family. When they were already poor, he got sick, no way to pay the bills, then he needed confinement. When his father lost all hope, he resorts to commiting a crime, he gets shot and dies. After that, Jean Garcia couldn't pay for rent, had to beg to stay in their apartment, eventually become homeless and decided to leave Sep to fend for his own. He must have had a black cat or walked under a ladder, or maybe broken tons of mirrors to become that unfortunate.

This was when Jo Berry saw Alden got shot

This was when Jean Garcia tried to keep TJ Trinidad be faithful after all those unfortunate events

Drone shots in Divisoria, yes they did

Alden trying to make his mom Jo Berry smile to start the day

ehhhh... he got shot! omg!

TJ Trinidad loses hope, decided to be a Bank Robber the next day

I remember Alden saying they had to bond on set, they didn't have time for workshops before the shoot

Jean Garcia tried to call TJ Trinidad outside the bank so he could surrender to authorities, then he got shot later on

The only thing they got positive reinforcement from was from the young Sep.

He got better, but they never got out of the debt, and the miserable things that were about to happen after TJ died.

There is so much more to watch out for in this series. It shows primetime on GMA, make sure you watch the episode today!

No More GIFT Guessing Games with Things I Like App

Have you ever had that situation when you're going to a friend's party but didn't know what to give them for a gift? Either they're too rich to actually be given one or in many cases, you just don't have a clue. Well that's about to change now that the Things I Like App is here! 

It's from a tech company based in Hong Kong and this is to solve that problem. This is also a way to give back to friends, loved ones, to interact with celebrities that you love, and it could be the way they could also do the same with you. This would be the perfect platform to also advertise so if you're an entrepreneur or online shop, this would be a good place to put your products in. People can monitor other people's wishlists and get reminders a few days before the actual event, so they never forget it and even prepare advanced greetings with customizeable (change text, photos and frames, make it compiled in a video) e-cards if they need too - plus the service is free of charge.

I registered today and it was so easy.

The app also includes ways to follow people, like celebrities, public figures and you can even give them gifts if you place requests. Details like addresses can be kept confidential so there's no security risks. Think of it as a combination of an app and gift registry we used to do in malls.

You can also keep track of your friends and family's birthdates. You'll be notified of it and you could just look at their profiles for their own wish lists. If you haven't decided yet but you like what you see in other people/celebrity profiles, just repost it and it'll end up in yours.

Best of all, you won't miss a birthday because you can set personal reminders before the actual day starts.

It's already available on the App Store and Google Play. You can buy it online or in the mall, request for their address and send it there. Now gift giving can be more efficient, even more now that you can see what your loved ones would want and need. When people enjoy the app, you get to know their buying habits and you won't have to think what the other person would need if it's already there. It's like an easy gift registry where you instantly know just by looking at their profile. 

For now they are developing the app for more features in the future. Purchases will still be done on actual websites and once you post the link on the app, it'll automatically have a thumbnail and copy the details on the post. Seems like Christmas shopping would be easy using this. 

You may download them today on iOS

Villa Del Conte for Valentines Day

This must be a crazy week for guys right now because Valentines season is just right around the corner. The tons of preparations done for that perfect date and the other things that go with it must be really stressful because you're thinking about what clothes to wear, what restaurant to reserve and perhaps what other things you really need to surprise her. 

Well let me tick one thing out of your list and suggest these wonderful chocolates from Villa Del Conte. I've been a fan of this brand since it was introduced to me a few years ago. The chocolate, is superb, but what's interesting is that they kinda surprise me in every packet because sometimes there are almonds, walnuts, fruits, that make this chocolate lovers dream even better. Best of all, it's actually more affordable than those other imported brands you see in department stores even if I consider this already artisanal to begin with. You'll love this Villa Del Conte AMORE Gift Box made by artisans in Padova, Italy. It costs Php880 and for premium chocolates, that's actually cheap.

If you need it, you can buy it off counters at Greenbelt 5 (I go there a lot!), Century City Mall, Shangrila Plaza, Resorts World Manila, Alabang Town Center, SM Megamall and Robinsons Magnolia. You can also call them for bulk orders if you've got a lot of ladies to please! Just search for Villa Del Conte on FB, Instagram and Twitter because all their contact details are all there!

Christmas Gift Suggestions For Techie Men

I know. You're probably reading this because you have no idea what to give that special guy in your life... and it's almost Christmas, you feel time is running out. Don't worry because I've got a few things that could answer that wondrous question, of what to give him when you think he's got everything. These gadgets are on top of the list of Digits Trading, the largest and premier gadget accessory store in the Philippines. I could say, they're on mine too so if you're ready, let's start!

If he's the sporty type of guy, who probably goes to the gym everyday or makes it a point to run every time in McKinley, BGC or Roxas Boulevard, then think about how he could measure his every activity. Check his pulse rate when he's in love with you with the ultimate health buff's dream called the FITBIT Charge 2. This isn't the first one so you're sure they've made tons of improvements in this gadget. It also monitors how you sleep and can get his data online so he could access it anywhere in the world that's got internet. It costs Php 8,490.

If he's the type who listens to really good music, treat him with this new BRAVEN 405. It's designed for the active ones. If you're the type who wants to go outdoors or just game for a swim, this model is Waterproof and can withstand accidental splashes if that's a problem. I've reviewed BRAVEN speakers before and they're really known for real non saturated sound, perfect for those who don't fancy super bass over the top speakers. Just feel good, feet up, and enjoy! It's sold Php 4,890.

Finding premium headphones that doesn't break the bank? That's easy with the BlueAnt Pump Soul. It costs Php 5,790 and can be enjoyed with full controls in the outer ear part of the gadget. It's also got a great kick stand. Brands are okay, but if you can get the same performance at a third of it's cost, why not right?

If he's the type who always takes photos, or perhaps is addicted to selfies, why not get him the BlackEye Pro Kit Smartphone Lens? It's got zoom, wide angle and even Fisheye lens in one pack. It's even super easy to use because you just have to clip it on. Now why didn't they think of this in the previous lenses no? I'm sure those landscapes, portrait and selfie shots would be better. They use a special lens so it's clearer than your usual lenses out there.

This one is sleek, simple, classic colored. It sounds good too. This is the Addon T10. I hear a party coming up and this would definitely start that going. It also uses Bluetooth technology so if you've got the playlist on your phone, just pair and start that ball rolling. It only costs Php 15,990 and is about a quarter of the cost of the other one. Then there's more!

This is the SCOSCHE MagicMount Power Bank. If you're like me lugging around the power bank and chord all around Manila when I need my phone charged, this solves it. It sticks to the back of your smartphone like it's magnetized. It can do your phone 2 cycles plus it's light weight. You can never go wrong with power banks.

You've probably been drooling off that BB8 Starwars Robot right? Well the company that made that technology just released this cute little ball with the same concept, but lets you program with your kids and even teaches you how to code. By dragging and dropping simple commands on an app, you can teach your very own SPRK+ to move like how you want it. I played around with it too, so fun! I want one and it only costs Php 8,990 which is actually a few K's lesser than the BB8 robot, but you can customize this one. This would be the ultimate dream toy!

Finding a better 360 degree camera? Look no further because this is Insta 360 NANO. You can make your iPhone into a 360 degree camera instantly by just attaching it to the phone's lightning port. You can also broadcast Facebook Live through the camera and that's just the beginning. Take those 360 shots smoothly and upload them on Facebook like a pro. It's the best at Php 12,990. This I want too!

If he drives a car and needs a dash cam, this does the job. It's the RoadEyes RECSMART. It's a social dashcam, because aside from recording your drive at HD quality, it also sends shots easily to Facebook, Twitter and can be controlled by your smartphones. It costs Php 8,990 and can be the perfect gift for your driver, sweet lover. 

All of these devices and accessories are available in all Digital Walker stores. They've got you covered if you want to get something for your man. Well, in fact, these are good for the ladies too. If you want to get me something, get me the robot ha-ha!

So what have you gotten your man this Christmas?
