There are a lot of new kicks out there, but this is different. Wanna know why?

1. It's a style with a cause!
Only 1500 pairs were auctioned on eBay, which is nikemag.eBay.com, with all of the net proceeds directly given to the Michael J. Fox Foundation. Nike has agreed to have a 50 million match up with the foundation which help those who are suffering from Parkinson's Disease.

The Nike Air Mag is a replica from the Back to the Future II, it also means that it has not yet lost its futuristic touch. The shoe has glowing LED panel and the Nike logo in the strap is electroluminiscent. It glows for five hours per charge. It really needs recharging if you really want it to glow all the time. :)

iPhone cases are already too mainstream nowadays.

We have seen a lot of vendors selling the cases with different designs out in the streets, or even in malls and it seems like people just can't get enough of them.



I wonder why, but have you heard of the iPhone Ear Case designed by Daniela Gilsanz, a student at the Rhode Island School of Design?


This is a different kind of case. It is weird but it is indeed an awesome idea. I am not encouraging you to buy it if you don't have the money for it costs around 13 Pounds, but if you manage to have the money, you can buy it online at www.collabcubedshop.com

Why should you try to check it out?

1. It's Ear design!
 People won't notice that you are on the phone when you answer some calls. This may be weird, but it does make your iphone look more amazing than the usual. By the way, it comes in different ear designs. :)

Despite having lots of designs for each ear case, EARonic's ear designs look real. It helps you hide your phone from people. Hmm. Good in class. Kidding. :)

4. It's a fad
iPhone cases come in different designs, starting from logos of branded bags to cassette tapes. People show off their iPhones through their cases. Well, with this kind of case, you will really stand out from the rest.

5. It's a great idea.
The case itself is an amazing idea, it is simply out of the box! People should know about these things to evade from the usual stuff we always have. It's time to accept the fact that not only technology undergoes innovations, but ideas as well.

Why Adventure Time is Awesome!

Adventure Time is a cartoon shown on Cartoon Network. Kids and Kids at heart know all about this. It is a cartoon about Finn, a teenage boy, and his magical dog, Jake who live in the apocalyptic land of Ooo.

Finn and Jake has a lot of weird and wild adventures and at the same time it still remains hilarious. There are a lot of adventures to watch out for in the hilarious world of Finn and Jake.


Adventure Time is really at it's peak right now, there are already viral in the internet and because of their popularity, they were mashed up images of Finn and Jake with other TV Characters. Is this how awesome it is?

Why is Adventure Time awesome?

1. It's funny.
 The punch lines in the cartoons make people want more jokes. Even though how weird and wild their adventures may be, they still manage to make the viewers laugh. It's different from the Simpsons and The Family Guy. Adventure Time is funny and is not really into foul language.

2. Finn and Jake's Friendship.
We all know that a dog is a man's best friend, but with Adventure time, a magical dog is your best friend. Finn and Jake encounter a lot of adventures and their real friendship can be seen. It shows how Finn and Jake both support and help each other even though in the most weirdest and wildest situations of all.
Friends Forever :)

3. The Candy Kingdom characters are very cute!
The Candy Kingdom is ruled by Princess Bubblegum. Besides the fact that the Candy Kingdom is made out of sweets and sugar, the people who live there are also cute. Imagine Peppermint Butler, Cinnamon Bun and Chocoberry, aren't they adorable? These characters talk and they add more life to the show. By the way, Lady Rainicorn speaks in Korean. :)
Peppermint Butler :>

4. Finn and Jake's Adventures are fun!
Yes, they go on weird and wild adventures, but Finn and Jake always have fun with it even though they may get into trouble. They sing and dance, they rescue orphaned creatures, meet weird people and they still manage to have fun with it. It must be amazing to go on an adventure with them.
Image source:http://images2.fanpop.com
5. It has one of a kind episodes.
The Adventure Time show does not only stick to only one story, each episode is full of stories. The episodes make it more appealing to viewers because of random happenings. There's and episode where in Finn become Fiona, and Princess Bubblegum becomes Prince Gumball! The episodes are so random but at the same time one of a kind. Character Switches don't always happen in the world of Cartoons. :)

6. You get to meet The Vampire Queen, Marceline.
Kids always consider vampires to be scary, but this vampire character in the show is not scary at all. She's pretty, sings, dances, and she's a rocker! A vampire rocker! Instead of craving for blood, Marceline sustains her life by eating only those colored red. She is one of Finn and Jake's close friend.

7. Lumpin' Princess' lumpin' awesome lines.
Lumpin' Princess is from Lumpy Space, she speaks in a deep voice and has a complicated life. She is often called as LSP and is popular due to her lines for it sometimes has the word lumpin' in them and it has a bratty tone which makes it funny. Here are some examples:
*I totally saw Hot Dog Princess get sucked in here, and I wasn't invited!? I was all, "What the lump?" so I'm crashing this party.
*(Carrying two rocks) My arms weren't meant to carry so many rocks, you guys. 
* I know you want this body, but you can't have it! YOU CAN'T HAVE IT! 
Lumpin' Princess is Lumpy!

8. Finn's Heroic acts.
They are not superheroes but Finn can save Princess Bubblegum. He is like her knight in shining armor. Finn and Princess Bubblegum can also work as a team for his heroic acts and her science based mind can work together to work things out! He does not only save Princess Bubblegum, but he saves and rescues other characters too. The only problem is, he's shy around girls.

I like Adventure Time very much, if you want to experience the weirdest and wildest adventures, watch Adventure Time. :)

Why People like Ice Cream


We all like Ice Cream even though when we were still kids.

We crave for it during hot summer days and even during the most difficult heartbreaks that a girl can experience.

Ice cream is a sweet treat for all ages. It has been proven that whether you are young or old, you will never outgrow your love for Ice cream.


Seriously, what's with ice cream? If you're a curious person, wouldn't this be a nice question?


Like everybody else in the world, I am an ice cream lover and I came up with reasons why we are still drawn to the famous cold treat.

1. There are so many flavors to choose from.
Ice creams are famous because of their flavors. Kids and adults love the fact that there are a lot of flavors to choose from. You are able to choose the flavor you desire. Ice cream will be boring if it only has one flavor available for the whole wide world right?

2. It never fails to satisfy.
Having a bad day at work or in school? Got dumped or got your heart broken? Eating ice cream helps lighten up one's mood. It helps you forget the tough day you have because you enjoy eating it with your favorite choice of flavors and toppings. It helps you get through the day.

3. It makes you feel like a kid again.
Ice creams make adults feel like a kid getting the best sundae they ever had. The way it is served, either in a cone or a cup, the way you lick it when it melts, the messy look it gives, makes an adult reminisce about the good times he had with Ice cream. It doesn't only satisfy one's stomach, it also helps one relive the memories they had with good 'ol ice cream.

4. It's tasty. 
The creamy texture that an ice cream has makes you want more. Even though it melts easily in your mouth, you still enjoy the taste it gives you for it is bursting with flavor.

5. It is refreshing.
Nothing beats eating a scoop of ice cream during a warm day. 'Nuff said.

6.  It's the simplest dessert.
When you have a hard time choosing the perfect dessert to help you satisfy yourself after a meal, ice cream is the simplest of all. You don't need to spend much on ice cream unlike other specially designed desserts and expensive desserts. When choosing a dessert, people always consider ice cream. Why? Even with a few scoops of these, it surely can satisfy you.

I scream, You scream, We scream for Ice Cream! Hahaha!

Well, these are my own reasons on why I like ice cream. What's yours? Feel free to tell me about it :)

Why Twitter is Popular



Did you guys know that in Twitter, there are 200 Million tweets sent each day? This is a huge number right!

It doesn't only show how people are so into tweeting, but it also shows how popular Twitter is.

There are 200 Million plus Twitter users, and each day, it is still growing.

I just can't imagine how my Twitter page would be like if I made one right now. Yes, I do not have a Twitter account, but I will
be making one soon. Very soon.

There are a lot of Social Networking sites today aside from Twitter. But, lately, Twitter is always on top!
 But why is Twitter popular, aside from the Celebrity fights and rants we get to know because of it?

I have been wondering why, and these are some reasons I can share. I hope these are right though :)

1. It makes a Twitter user feel popular.
Twitter users like having a lot of followers. Having an additional follower makes them happy. Twitter makes you feel special because of the followers you gain. It makes you feel like you are a celebrity in your own way due to your followers. The more followers you get, the better right?
Image source:http://3.bp.blogspot.com

2. It's simple to use.
I don't have a Twitter account yet but I have heard that Twitter is very easy to use. Clicking Retweets, and Follow on Twitter is as simple as 1-2-3. You just type what you want to say on the 140 Character Tweet box, and then with a click you're done! Voila! A tweet has been posted!
Image source:http://cdn.creativeguerrillamarketing.com

3. You can follow anyone you like. 
In Twitter, you can follow anyone you like to follow. In other words, you can follow your favorite Celebrities! You will be updated on what they do, or where they are. Nothing would beat getting a tweet or a reply from your favorite celeb right? Fan mode on! :))

4. It is a fast form of communication.
People use twitter because it is fast. Communicating with other people using Twitter is a reason why it's a hit. However the downside of this, people around the world can see what you just tweeted.

5. It's all about YOU.
Everything on your Twitter page is about you. Your thoughts and feelings are shared. It's not all about your friends this time, it's mainly all about you.
No matter who you may be, your Twitter is all about YOU.

6. It is an excellent marketing tool.
With Twitter, your business promotion can spread in seconds than using traditional promotion systems that take so long. It can reach out to as many people as you want to for it can be seen by almost everyone. It's also nice to use this for promotions since it's free.
Image source: http://tweepi.com

7. It's loaded with Apps.
Twitter has a lot of apps. An example is Twitpic, which makes you tweet pictures easily, Tweet Later which is time delayed tweeting and #hash tags. This makes twitter popular too, you don't have these on Facebook.

Maybe with these reasons I just figured out, I might as well push through with my plan to make a Twitter account. What do you say?  :)

Why People still play Tetris.

Tetris was released way back, to be specific it was on June 6, 1984. It was very popular during those times and it had a lot of versions available of then gaming consoles like the Brick Game.

Everyone is aware of this game, I guess everyone had fun playing with the geometric blocks called tetriminoes. I remember those times I never let go of my Brick Game. I enjoyed Tetris even though it was just in black and white.

Tetris today :)
Image source:http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net
 Tetris was out of the picture for a long time. Perhaps it didn't become famous the past years because of the new innovations in the gaming industry.

Who expected that this game made a comeback this year? I didn't. There are already a lot of new games that people enjoy, with hd graphics and everything, who would even remember the classic game, Tetris?

Well, I was amazed with the comeback of the classic game I loved way back.
Tetris made a great comeback! But why was it famous again? Why do people like playing it?

1.  It makes people have the thrill to organize.
Tetris is about putting tetriminoes in the proper place in order to clear a line or make a perfect clear. People who love organizing is great at this game. It makes people organize their minds and their blocks because they have the control to drop them wherever they want.

2. It's addictive.
The thought of you having control makes you want to play the game some more. You have the freedom to change the blocks at the very last moment until they land. It makes you feel you have the power over them, thus making you play some more especially if your blocks are misplaced which causes you to lose.

3. It's someone's first game ever.
Like I said, Tetris is already old. Tetris created a lot of memories, it was someone's first game. It's the first game that they ever loved. It was like their first love. You just can't forget your first love right?

4. It's simple.
Gamers and none gamers can easily play this game. It doesn't require as much understanding like any other games. It doesn't have difficult controls. Anyone can play this game!

5. It's an effective treatment for a disorder.
Studies have shown that the game serves an effective treatment to those people who suffer post-traumatic stress disorder because of distracting capabilities. Tetris players have a flew flashbacks because it disrupts the laying of memories than those who don't.

6. It makes people feel smarter.
According to research, Tetris players use more glucose suggesting that the brain is working hard. In other words, the brain has to work less hard the more it practices. It becomes used to solving problems really quickly.

However, when you play Tetris, you must take note that you should always regulate your play because sometimes too much of something is not good. :)
