Cool iPhone Stuff

/ iamsupercarla / Leave a comment

A lot of paperwork was required in the office for quite some time, so you can only imagine how little attention I’ve been paying to my phone.  Hahahaha.  I am usually attached to these things, but lately I haven’t been.

Did you know I only started playing Temple Run?  When it was trending in the Philippines for the longest time, I was just typing away like the typity type that I am.  So now, I’ve officially started exploring the cool iPhone stuff I’ve been meaning to get for myself.  Or at least, twisting someone else’s arm so they can get it for me.

I’ve never really had my favorite iPhone cover.  To this day, I am using the simple silicone one that makes my phone bounce to safety each time I drop it.  But when I do get this cover — which an amazing blend of the old and the new — I am so making sure that dropping the phone is out of the question.

I don’t even know if this is a legitimate product!  Hahaha.  But nonetheless, I would like to think that being in a tropical country has more benefits than just the 300 days in a year sunbathing option (I don’t even like sunbathing nor do I have a purpose for it as I am already tan).  This solar charger can easily come in handy.  And it’ll also solve the ever present dilemma of poor battery life in iPhones. Found this on here.

I found this on Pinterest and has successfully traced it back to Etsy.  COME ON!  This has to be the coolest iPhone dock ever.  EVERRRRR.  I want it so bad, but it’s as expensive as the shoe I want to get, and I love shoes so I’m in the middle of an internal debate somehow.  BUT if someone would get it for me, that problem is easily solved!

Especially that the owner allows shipping to the Philippines. :)

Last and certainly not the least is the iPhone lens dial.  Named by CNN.go as one of the 10 best travel products for 2012, this is every photography whore’s dream come true.  Come on!  Look at that baby.  Not only will it make your iPhone look more bad ass, but it will also immediately eliminate the time you need to edit your photos because the lens options!  Wide angle!  Fisheye! Telephoto!  And all you do is rotate!  Oh dear God, I want this.

Available in Photojojo.

Look at that.  An instant guide that will make my materialistic side very very happy.  :)

Here’s a photo post.

I had a pretty amazing 28 hours.  I can’t even begin to explain how happy I am right now, so I decided to collate some random photos just to share it with you guys. :)

It was by far one of our best days. :)

I will help DOT!

Since the launching of the #ItsMoreFunInThePhilippines campaign, a lot of people have been creating their own versions to support this statement.  Secretary Mon Jimenez Jr. was quick to tap Chuvaness and Anton Diaz to help promote this.  Already he knows how powerful social media is that he immediately contacts top bloggers to help spread this campaign!  Smart man.

So in my head, I should do my fair share of promoting.  I’ve decided to always end my posts with a meme supporting #ItsMoreFunInThePhilippines.  I would love to feature your work here, so if you have one, just email it to me at carla.arriola@yahoo.com.  Don’t worry; I’ll make sure you get all the credit.  I can also link it back to your blog or site, should you have one.  Your submissions will not only help me in helping DOT promote tourism in the country, but would also pressure me into writing more regularly. :)

So here we go!  Let’s start now shall we?  Send in those reasons now!

One Roxas Triangle

/ iamsupercarla / Leave a comment

I’ve always been so intrigued by this building.  According to Wikipedia, it is the 15th tallest building in the Philippines.  Each time I see it at night, it stands there with its classic elegance, quietly boasting, never humble, as if rubbing in my face what I’ve been missing all this time.

And I often wonder what it’s like to live in a place as posh and luxurious as this one.  Maybe I’m just blowing it all off in massive disproportion in my head, maybe it’s not as good as I think it is.  But still it would be nice to find out for myself.

Oh and did I mention that One Roxas Triangle is right across my workplace?  I’d love to wake up at 7 in the morning, only to find out that even if I move at a snail’s pace, I’d still be early for work.

Ah, to dream big.

Aren’t we all?

Aren’t we all a little crazy on the inside?  Random musings, it’s late and still in the office.  I wonder if this will be the ending trend of 2011 or the beginning of 2012.
