I was going through the racks of promotional items in HyperPanda few days ago and foudn this Zeno MP4 Toucnmate Player. I did not notice it was another brand and thought Apple was selling of its goods for a measly price. Imagine, iPod Nano for only AED 99! That's a total rip-off!I was surprised to know that it was not iPod Nano at all. It was Zeno Touchmate but also an MP4 player. Consideri...

I was born with a straight hair but eventually turned curly when I got older. I guess I have bad hair days  like forever! My hairstyle has always been either on a bun or tied pony-tail style and my family and friends are already getting "bored" with my look, and I do too =) I had rebond session before here in Dubai but was very disappointed with the outcome because it was suppose...

I now understand what that phrase means; "Run like a wind..." It is what I feel with my new running shoes. I had my Nike Air running shoes for nine long years and it just had to give up. My family and friends (and even the shoe clerk where I got this new Adidas Adistar Ride) said nine years is more than  enough for a good running shoes to keep running in good condition.Well, I th...

My daughter recently had cough and colds due to the change of season and the weird weather system happening. Her cough sounded more like a whooping cough with intermittent fever and a runny nose.I am scared of what I am hearing about the mutated virus coming from swines so I decided to take her to the doctor right away. She was given anti-biotics for respiratory tract infection and one of the m...

I have never been disgusted like this in my life, at least in terms of finances. I did not expect to be treated like I was the one running after them when in fact Barclays Bank have called me a lot of times to offer me a nice loan with a good interest (9.9% which is reducing and is not bad compared to other banks) and a flexible repayment terms. Not only that, there was a promise of free openin...

It also has pulse scanners on both the handle to monitor your heartbeat. It com...

I am not a juice lover because commercial juices are already processed and have too many sugar in them. I tried the Fit N' Right juice of Del Monte and it tasted so good, minus the sweetness. It's not bland but just about right if I may say.Del Monte's Fit N' Right is very apt for people on the go who are aiming to lose some pounds as well. It has L-Carnitine that helps burn fat...

When I had the sore eyes few years ago, my doctor prescribed me this small eye drop with a potent effect - Oculosan. It was so potent that my sore eyes lasted for a day only. Most of my colleagues and friends who contacted the eye sore from me had theirs lasting for 2 to 3 days!This small bottle with a very strong effect is really an eye saver! It comes in a small 10 ml eye drop bottle. It is m...

This Faber-Castell fine marker is specifically for labelling CDs/DVDs, glass or plastic, or even metal surfaces.  It is waterproof and permanent. The marker does not emit any strong acetone like scent which I find very appealing considering the last permanent marker I bought was completely opposite. The fine print of this marker is suitable for labelling the abovementioned surfaces. It is ...

I bought this gadget for my daughter actually. Whenever we have long drives, she drives me up the wall with her endless rendition of "I'm so boooorrrreeeeeed." Hence, the answer to her prayers! This portable CD/DVD player is a value for money. It has remote control, video in/video out jack, charger, battery pack, casing, and power cord and straps to use for placement at the back o...

I bought this lotion cum whitening lotion cum sunscreen during my last visit to Thailand as I have forgotten to bring my lotion. Since the weather that time was permissible, it was still hot, humid and weird.Thank goodness for the ever ubiquitious Watsons in Bangkok that I managed to find not only a lotion but also a whitening and sunscreen lotion all in one.It has a very nice scent, more like ...

I use deodorant for the purpose of keeping my pits dry. I don't have smelly pits (and thank goodness for that!!!) but it really is bothersome to have wet pits during the hot summer months. Living here in Dubai has proven that point. No matter how thin a shirt one wears ion this part of the world, you will still get wet armpits. with 50 degrees celcius, who wouldn't?I am quite picky with...

I initially used a Siemens modem/router but when I upgraded my DSL connection to a higher speed, my modem was unable to handle the load and was no longer compatible with my Vista OS in my laptop. I bought this Belkin wireless modem/router which is easily set-up and is compatible with my Vista OS.I liked the way my network connection at home is mega-secured. I think even Kryptonites won't be...

I have tried other medications on her but so far, Actifed Syrup for Cold is the one working fast.Actifed Syrup is a good relief medication for runny or blocked nose. Its active ingredients are Triprolidine Hydrochloride BP, Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride BP, and Syrup base.This is an over-the-counter drug in this country but I am ...

One of my favorite brands is Victoria's Secret. I have been using most of their beauty and body products for a long time now and I am always satisfied.This Beauty Rush Body Double Mist in Candy, Baby scent is a sweet scented body mist. It smells like a faint cotton candy and it has this captivating scent that lingers. Although it is not as long lasting (based on my observation) as the Garde...

I have a terrible allergic reaction to MOST medications. Unless I get tried for a skin test, I will have no clue if I am allergic to one or not. Imagine how it feels like keeping a tab of what I can take and what I cannot and have that list with me wherever I go, just in case of emergency.These past few days, I have been having a terrible back and body pain due to the heavy lifting (no, not the...

One thing that irritates me is when our blouses, shirts and trousers are wrinkled like a raisin. I don't send off our clothes to the cleaners, only the delicate one and I do the pressing myself at home. To cut time and effort, I bought this Merito Starch Spray so it will be easier for me to press the creased clothes of my family. My husband always wear long sleeves polo to work, my daughter...

I am not an energy-booster drinking kind of person but I do once in a while when my spirit is willing but the flesh is super weak. I think this time is that time when I need an extra jolt on whatever is left of my energy. I just felt so drained the whole week because of stress at work.I tried my husband's energy drink and found the Extra Joss rather tasty and limey compared to the other dri...

I have always fancied lotions and body butter especially the fruity-scented ones. I received this Coconut Body Butter from one of my friends as a Christmas gift. I haven't tried the coconut scented lotions yet except for Palmers which slightly smells similar to coconut. This particular body butter is almost close to the real deal! I was certainly amazed by the closeness of the scent to the ...

I really don't like driving our car when it smells weird. I enjoy getting in a car with a fruity, vanilla-like or citrusy scent because it keeps me awake for some reason. This scent I am featuring is not the kind I would like my car smelling because it just smells weird, or it could be my nose though!The scent is that of a "new car" but it does not seem like it smelled that way. O...
