A lot have been heard about Huawei products recently both good and bad. And with the recent rift between the US and China, the butterfly effect has been felt all over the world. But that scenario didn’t really stop the fans from owning a Huawei unit. I personally just had my hands at the newest Huawei P30. Being known for its awesome photography system, I was so excited to test run the product.

As a big company, I do believe Huawei could be able to have a back up plan on to what ever happen next in their position at the global market.

On a personal note, I am just happy to take the phone around and take awesome shot along with it. Continue reading and just a note, this post is a bit photo heavy.

Redefining the dormitory concept in the Philippines comes Dormitos, the first Japanese-style capsule hostel in the Philippines. It’s first branch is centrally located at the metro’s busiest/transit Center – Cubao. Dormitos offers guest accessibility, security and privacy at a very reasonable price.

I’ve been eyeing to try this hostel since it opened, most especially after my personal trip in Japan, where capsule hostel originated. Luck have probably brought me on this day where I was able to try it finally. And being near to places like Smart Araneta Center and Cubao X made me even more excited to stay here for a night knowing that I could have other things to do around the area on my free time.

Travel-ready with the Slimmest and Ultra-tough ASUS ZenBook S13 UX392

Its officially summer and no doubt I’ll be going to places where my wandering feet takes me. While it looks like I’m on vacation, reality is I’m still working while taking beach breaks in between. So with all the traveling plus the scorching heat, I would need a workstation that’s very light to bring along yet tough enough to take the weather conditions and endure minor thuds, bumps and scratches along the way. Well getting my hands on the world’s slimmest and toughest ultrabook by ASUS made me feel like I’ll be spending my summer just as I had planned it.

Yep, I was skeptical at first with this 1.1 kg ultrabook and 12.9 mm thin, so that’s barely an inch. I thought, how would this put up with my frequent travels plus the sweltering summer heat? Trying the ASUS ZenBook S13 for a day, I got it in my bag along with my usual stuff and just placed it in the backseat of my car. It was around 10 a.m. and the heat is becoming unbearable so I had to quickly get off the car. I was halfway out of the parking area when I realized I forgot my bag with the ultrabook. So I had to go back and check if the ultrabook was ok and I was relieved that it booted fast and had no signs of damage.
