TCL Gets Red Dot Award for Soundbar this 2023

I remember buying a TCL TV a few years back, it lasted for years and I loved it til it had its last hurrah. Today, it's the second top brand and first when it comes to 98 inch TV's and recently, their TCL S6 Series Home Theater Soundbar even won a Red Dot Award for product design (this 2023). This distinction has been much coveted in the industry since they've been around for 60 years recognizing the best of the best for consumer devices.

The TCL S6 Series Home Theater Soundbar has 3 models. The TCL S643W takes pounding for breakfast with it's 70W subwoofer, three speakers that can take your listening to another level. It's got a different max volume output, less distortion, so imagine if you've got this, subwoofers and sattelite speakers installed in your media room. Power is at 240W so if you've got a large floor space than recommended, it's not going to be an issue.

It's also got Dolby Audio. If you hear how it feels in a multi channel environment, you'll love how it's clear and feel like you're there on the scene when watching a movie. You can opt for automatic settings via Specialized Sound Modes if you prefer an easy route, but everything is up to you if you want to personalize your settings.

If you've got a TCL TV (which has Bluetooth capability), you can take advantage of its Bluetooth 5.3 connection and just use the connection to keep everything wireless in your entertainment setup. If you want more ideas, go visit TCL Philippines official site and social channels because they've got a lot of tips there.

Fall in Love with TABASCO

Who loves Tabasco? I know I do!

I'm not a connoisseur nor a pretender but if you talk about spicy stuff, I know a LOT from experience. In spice tolerance, I could take it up until normal people won't be able to actually have. My personal favorite is the Red Tabasco Pepper sauce and I've had adventures with it in the office, at home or sometimes the restaurants I review too. Don't look at me like I'm weird but I do carry a bottle of it when I can, and I also know a handful people who do.

This evening, I had dinner with a couple of special people in TABASCO's hot heart. It was intimate, very experiential and I learned a lo how they grow the peppers they use for the brew. They also age this for about 3 years and they had us compare how it actually tastes like over time. Well not everyone was keen on doing so because it is HOT and when we did attempt to taste it, they gave us these lovely spoon necklaces as mementos after taking the challenge. I'm wearing this proud!

Tabasco is irreplaceable. You can try hot sauce, or sriracha, but it really is so different from this. Thank you TABASCO for having us yesterday! Falling in love with you again was just so right.

A Johnnie Walker Summer

It's so hot outside you can literally fry an egg off of your car's roof. It's so hot outside that if you walk out on the street, you can feel like a clothing iron is on top of your head. It's so hot outside that the only place you would want to be in this case, is the beach so you can get your dose of Vitamin Sea and chill there for a while. Problem is, we have work, we have things to fix, we need to stay in the city and be the good citizen that we are. Johnnie Walker had a different thing in mind. In an unsuspecting building, in a busy day at work, they suddenly popped up. Check out this video!

If people couldn't enjoy the beach, then Johnnie Walker brought the beach party to the city. I can already imagine myself doing this in the elevator and I'd probably have a bottle or two if I'm not driving (so drink moderately). As for the party ambiance, the beach balls, the dance music, the Johnnie Walker servings, I'd have all of that! They call this a Johnny Walker Summer!

To stay cool in this hot weather, they also introduced a way to enjoy this whisky. Just pour a shot of Johnnie Walker Red Label, take a glass of ice cold clear soda and do it. Take the shot, make the clear soda your chaser and walk around like the usual beach boy. You can do this inside the confines of your home, after office, or perhaps the beach. Oh yeah, the beach. Make this a ritual for the summer!

For those who would prefer Johnnie Walker Black Label, take a shot of it in a glass with a healthy amount of ice, pour some ginger ale and voila! That's Johnnie Ginger! Now how's that for an easy fix this summer right? So for those cold nights, you don't need a love life. Get a bottle or two of Johnnie Walker Red Label and Johnnie Walker Black Label in your favorite groceries. It's there, just look! Then enjoy!

Two Toned Hair Colors by Jerusalem N. Dio Salon by Bing Dio

I had a wonderful time getting my hair colored yellow a few weeks back - and after almost a month, it kinda grew already. I was covering a few events that month so I didn't have time go drop by Jerusalem N. Dio Salon in Mother Ignacia, Quezon City. Tita Bing Dio must have seen that infamous line on my hair and seen the black line already showing growth of my hair so she asked me to go back and have that fixed. I know, you must think I'm silly going out like that but time wasn't really working in my favor. So when my schedules got freed on a Monday, I went to the salon on a whim and sit my self in a chair thinking of what to do with my hair. Good thing my friend and lovely hairstylist Cher was there to take care of me and suggested we take it up a notch. Since I probably have already tried all the colors in their arsenal possible, she said why don't we try using two colors. This bright idea made me realize that it would be awesome to have something different again. I said yes and we proceeded bleaching my hair so we could take off the yellow color I had originally.

As I always say in my previous posts, bleaching is not an easy process. You must trust the one taking care of your hair and I'm glad that people in Jerusalem N. Dio Salon are like family. Cher Nogara and Tita Bing Dio always took good care of me and they know color. They've done the hair and makeup of countless local and international celebrities so who am I not to be in their char LOL! Then, I had to wait for the bleach to take effect, then after a few minutes of retouching, we rinsed it off on the salon's sink which they've also done quite safely. Remember, after a bleaching procedure you should never ever scratch your hair when rinsing. Then we proceeded with color!

I have a color in mind because I wanted to pay homage to UE and choose Red but Cher suggested we do a two toned mix and have Ash Blonde on top which I haven't really done so we headed on and did that!

After color, she then got me a short hair cut so the edges of my hair would look clean, of course I loved it!

Cher Nogara has been awarded several accolades when she joined different local and international contests, I trust her and Tita Bing Dio for my hair, my color and always go to 58 Pentagrand Building in Mother Ignacia Street (right in front of St. Mary's College of Quezon City) in QC for it. They're on the second floor so just take the elevator or stairs to get your hair color right.

I only trust the best in the industry, and with this color, I'll be hanging out with friends, taking it to UAAP games in it's awesome Two Toned Glory! Thank you so much Cher Nogara and Tita Bing Dio of  Jerusalem N. Dio Salon for loving me, taking care of me and my hair - just like family! Hurry and call or text 0906 267 3099 for appointments today!

Western Digital Storage and Entertainment Solutions

We visited the Western Digital store in SM North Edsa's Annex to take a look at their newest releases specifically the WD My Passport AV-TV and the WD TV Live! I'm no stranger to hardware like these because I configure them for a living a few years ago. There has been some really good improvements but it basically only does one thing (talking about the WD My Passport AV-TV), it's for recording TV broadcast and streams. Even at it's small built, the thing has 1TB capacity but also got a 500GB version of it.

It's also got accessories that can have the device attached to the back since some TV sets in homes are wall mounted. This small wonder can record your favorite shows so you can watch them whenever you want. Using the remote controls of your TV, you can pause, rewind, or fast forward any scene but you have to have the corresponding compatible TV with it. TV Models would be listed in Western Digital's website. Video output is superb and quality is crystal because the USB port is already 3.0, making transfer rate of data faster. Don't worry about messing up the bracket because you've got the Quick Install guide in the box too. Setting it up would be a cinch, else you can visit their knowledge base for detailed instructions.

I also saw something I'd want for my home on display.

Solaire and AirAsia Launches SkySolaire!

Solaire and Air Asia in a very special partnership.

I wasn't really prepared to know what was about to happen, but I was just as excited as the people from Solaire and Air Asia as they were about to embark on something BIG to help boost the gaming and tourism industry at the Air Asia Hangar in Andrews Avenue, Domestic Airport in Pasay City. What am I talking about? Well.. have a look at this video.

Donato Almeda the Board Director of Solaire says "This is a key undertaking between two dynamic brands, we are raising the bar and even taking it to the skies!"

Maan Hontiveros, CEO of AirAsia Philippines says they fully believe in partnerships and this collaboration will surely be a boost to the tourism industry. They are planning to have flights directly to cities in China, Malaysia and Korea.

Ladies from AirAsia will be donned in colors of Solaire Gold and Black ensembles. Then they unveiled the plane that afternoon!

This is SKY SOLAIRE!

This is the Airbus A320, now it's fully covered with the Solaire brand. With the world class service that's also seen in their hotels and establishments, you can only expect nothing but the best in Sky Solaire. 

Solaire and AirAsia has plans of making this a continued effort; to even get additional planes and a bigger campaign up until 2016. This will be something that people from other nations would take notice of and surely, a way to entice them to visit Solaire in the future. They will see how it is to have so much fun in the Philippines and perhaps get food and entertainment in one place called Solaire!
