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.
Gadgets Giveaway! HiSense Bluetooth
October 11, 2011 by
Following the Hed Kandi headset post, here is another lightweight gadget that can ease mobile calls particularly when one is driving or busy typing or their hands are occupied with something else (that shouldn’t sound naughty please).
HiSense, a global network company hailing from China, is known for creating an internationally famous brand for high-tech, high-quality, high level of service of technological innovations. One of which is their Bluetooth headset called HiSense HB200 which is a small size lightweight Bluetooth device that combines functionality with style. Multipoint connection allows you to connect it to 2 Bluetooth devices at the SAME TIME –whether it’s on two different mobile devices or from PC and mobile.
It has 150 hours of standby time and 5.5 hours talk time. There are accessories included in the boxed set. These are interchangeable ear buds which has different sizes and a magnetic clip attachment which can be easily clipped on neckties, shirts and pants for easier storage when it is not in use.

Hed Kandi Pure Eye and Ear Candy

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!)

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.
