OF all the gadgets I reviewed during the holidays, I never thought that a dashcam would be one of my favorites.
JUST when you thought you had all the time in the world, adulthood sneaks up on you. One day you’re carefree and the next, you’re wondering why you’re so excited about a sale on housewares. That’s adulting for you—it arrives not with a bang, but with a whisper. Suddenly, you find joy in the mundane, from relishing a well-organized pantry to feeling a sense of achievement in paying bills on time. And it’s not just about reaching a certain age; it’s the subtle shifts in preferences, responsibilities and joys that signal you’ve entered a new phase in life.
THERE are two mandatory stops whenever I’m at the mall, the first being Toys ‘R’ Us to appease my inner child, and Digital Walker just so I can add more items to my wish list. Digital Walker is known as the Philippines’ premier tech curator with an incredibly diverse range of consumer electronics.
NOTHING dampens the festive spirit of the holiday season quite like getting sick. As families gather and friends reunite, the joy and cheer that define this time of year can quickly be overshadowed by the onset of a cold, the flu, or other seasonal ailments. It’s a stark reminder that health remains as a precious gift, one that requires attention and care, especially during the busy and often stressful holiday season.
SUNDAY is that one day of the week when I allow myself the luxury of sleeping beyond six hours without feeling guilty. So, you could probably imagine my rage when I was jolted awake at 8 am by the thunderous beats of gangsta rap coming from our neighbor.
FOR the past month, my ASUS Zenbook OLED earned a well-deserved break because of an experiment that lasted way longer than I expected.
IN The Avengers, movie, Loki, portrayed by Tom Hiddleston, delivers the memorable line: “I am Loki of Asgard, and I am burdened with glorious purpose.” Who would have thought that those two words, “glorious purpose,” would remarkably encapsulate Loki’s evolution from a villain to a central character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
Let’s be honest, not everyone can become a millionaire in their lifetime, but an “iponaryo”? Well, that’s something that we can easily and should aspire to be.
LAST week, Oppo Philippines officially launched the Oppo Find N3 Flip via an exclusive event held at The Blackbird in Makati, marking a major step forward in its flagship foldable lineup.

YOU know you’ve reached a certain age when you start using the phrase “Back in the good old days” a lot more often than you realize. That yearning for a simpler past when things seemed brighter and more straightforward. But what if those cherished moments of yesteryear could be seamlessly interwoven with the vibrancy and innovation of today?
SINCE the Mi 9T, Xiaomi’s T series phones have been my daily drivers for the remainder of the year, up until the release of the next batch of flagships. And while they are really good smartphones, it was still pretty much a midranger trying to live up to that “flagship killer” moniker.
BEFORE our review, here’s a quick update for those of you planning to get an eSIM. While I anticipated a surge in demand for eSIMs, I was surprised by how quickly they sold-out. Fortunately, for those on the hunt, eSIMs are now available for online order and digital delivery. Mobile users can simply visit store1.smart.com.ph sims to purchase their Smart Prepaid or Postpaid eSIMs, which will be promptly sent to their email.
NOT counting the Casio calculator and robot watch I had during elementary, I think the Huawei TalkBand B2 was the very first smart wearable that I had. I could still remember how amazed I was when I first wore it. Not only did it count my steps, timed my runs and monitored my sleep, but it also detaches and transforms into a Bluetooth earpiece for answering calls or listening to music.
DESPITE the heavy rains last Tuesday night, there were two back-to-back smartphone launches that we just couldn’t miss. Honor was unveiling four new devices at XYLO while Xiaomi was having a livestream watch party at Manduca Taberna for the announcement of its Xiaomi 13T series. So, we had to shuffle back and forth between the two venues, which thankfully were both in BGC.
AFTER being an exclusive MacBook user for more than 7 years, I decided to switch back to Windows because of the ASUS Zenbook OLED. I’ve been using it for the past year and have gotten so used to its fantastic display and touchscreen, I often find myself tapping on the screens whenever I use a different laptop.
THEY say good things come to those who wait, and if you decide to hold off getting the Tecno POVA 5, which I reviewed last month, well, you are in luck because the brand just released an upgraded version of an already incredible budget gaming device. I am, of course, talking about the POVA 5 Pro 5G.
IN 2019, realme began collaborating with award-winning industrial designer Naoto Fukusawa for the realme X Master edition, which became quite memorable for its colors “Onion” and “Garlic.” They would again partner with the legendary Muji designer to create the “suitcase” design of the realme GT master edition followed by the “Paper Tech Master Design” of the realme GT 2 Pro.
AFTER dealing with “boomer” bosses most of my career, I realized I need to understand a totally different generation when it comes to content creation—the “zoomers.”
Prior to the pandemic, several studies came out saying blue light from phone screens can damage your eyes and accelerate blindness. I remember reading that on my laptop midway through a very long research project, and it actually made me think about switching careers.
While the iPhone might not always be the first to introduce new features and technologies compared to their Android counterparts, Apple has undoubtedly taken the lead in pioneering the art of subtraction. From the removal of the beloved headphone jack and excluding the wall charger, we may soon bid goodbye to the SIM card slot next.
Confession time: I almost missed my deadline this week because I was having too much fun playing Free Fire on the Techo Pova 5.
IT was through my then eight-year-old nephew that I was introduced to the name MrBeast.
