I visited the office of Multiply.com in Ortigas center and I attended their office blessing and party, I arrived late and didn't know that it was a super party to all staff and also Multiply users. Awesome!! First office here for Philippines.
I'll post a photo blog entry tomorrow and you'll see what's their office look like. Inside the office I spotted a cool wall artwork doodle by Wewilldoodle team.. astig! To record my visit, this is the 3rd social networking site office that I visited here in Manila.
It is not an actual splint but its a wrist guard that I use for inline skating, we're using this to relax our wrist and hand whenever we feel a pain sting, they say that it is one of the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, my mom told me to wear one just to prevent having a bad case of carpal tunnel, she got that already and her wrist and palm was operated to loosen up those clogged veins, that's a real pain because it will take years to recover after operation and I dont want to experience that and I'm going to listen to my mother.hehhehehe .
I'm going to wear this over night and while I'm sleeping, it feels great when I wear this.
I’m having another painful wrist cramps and it I felt if after working yesterday for the whole day in my laptop without using an optical mouse, I used my laptop’s mouse track pad to surf, blog and attempted to edit a page layout of magazine, but then after I took a rest and ate my dinner last night, I felt this numbness and painful thing going on to my wrist and on the top of my hand. (more story below)
The night when I play with Ashton, I felt this pain again whenever I carry him and dance some Yo Gabba Gabba song, I sat down and tried to massage my hand and I felt this pain surging through my veins and I felt weak after it. I was about to work for the whole night after watching a movie with my wife but then I decided to sleep instead just to recover and hopefully the pain on my wrist will go away.
The pain on my right hand comes again for day 2 and I felt another cramps after waking up in the morning, I felt that my two hands are numb and I’m already dreaming of some “what if “ stories like. What if my hands are numb forever after waking up, how am I going to work or update my Facebook status, I imagine it and then got scared, I woke up immediately and forget about it Im glad that the numbness of my hands are gone, I think a good sleeping position will help me.
I’m not sure if this is a sign of carpal tunnel syndrome, but I know that the only cure is to rest your hand for a day and avoid using a computer, seating in a good posture on a chair will help and also I love working on our dining table because it helps my hands relax while typing non stop on my laptop, my elbows are on top of the table and arms are stretched reaching the keypad of my laptop, this is my technique in order to avoid carpal tunnel, so that my wrist and hand are relax and no hard pressure on using the optical mouse and keypad. But problem is that my right hand got burned out after using the laptop without my trusted old optical mouse.
But that’s okay, I already ordered 4 optical mouse yesterday in Multiply.com Marketplace, I just received a notification that my payment is already approved and items is now on scheduled for shipping direct to my door steps.. I’m excited for my brand new and cheap optical mouse hehehehe.
Okay okay, I’m going to attend today an office blessing in Ortigas, I’ll post that update here after I arrived home.. exciting!
This is how AXN introduce to us the new contest singing show - The Voice, they created this mini Voice singing contest and all of us are the judges,we turned our backs and if we like the voice of the singer, we will face to the stage and be counted as vote. The big tsismis is...who are the bloggers who joined the singing contest? Okay hint: SOON
MORE PHOTOS BELOW
One of then is Myke Soon, but he chicken out and joined the name that tune contest, Anton chicken out too, and joined the name that tune contest, Jeman forgot to join the contest, Jonel was glued to his seat and got busy food blogging, Jeff and Sefh takas mode and went back to their office in Makati, Justinbreathes stayed too long vocalizing behind the stage, Denisson and Kumagcow are hiding under the table sheet, if you're going to ask me if I joined, well..I joined the signing contest, but I got busy doing my own private moment inside the CR but I sang there and didn't know that the contest is over, but we got one brave blogger who joined - Jenny Roxas, she joined and but too bad she didn't win the contest over that guy who has a female voice, but its a fun day for us to try The Voice pilot episode on the big screen, then I got a tip from Myke Soon and he said that there are torrent downloads of the show hahaa.omg! that's bad! Event host of the day

I heard of SHINee before wayback year 2008, and at first I thought that they are Japanese, but then learned via online that they are Koreans.
This is not your ordinary signing contest show on TV, and not the kind of a Rockstar or American Idol contest or even the America’s Got talent show, this show requires more skills and art of singing and less on the looks. Yes! You read that right… they want your talent and not your look. (more story below) Singing and talent contest are the new trend for tv shows and it is the new search engine for new talents and fresh artist that are left undiscovered in different parts of the world. The Voice is a tv show and a talent contest show that was aired in the US via NBC and it receives a 11.8 million of viewers and now the show will be here in our Philippine cable tv and will premiere on AXN this August 21 at 8pm-10pm.
So what will happen ? Okay there are celebrity and A-lister people/artist who will be listening to the singer contestant, they will seat infront of the stage but facing the audience area and not visible to the singer contestant. They are required to listen to the singer and judge them by their VOICE. If they love and like the performance they have to press the button and the chair that they are seating will turn around and they can face the singer on stage…means that they got points and they are approved!
Think of a blind audition system..
If one judge faces the singer, then it is automatically that the singer is IN and recruited to be his/her student and be coach and trained well for the next elimination, but if ever there are 2 or more judges who face the singer, then the singer should decide and select which judge will be her/his coach.
It is a very nice mechanic of a singing contest and far more different to American Idol that you will bash the singer contestant in their face, but here, the requirement is talent and not by the looks, so the judges should judge them by their VOICE only.
After the judging, all of the singers will be in a group and later on compete with each , take votes from tv viewers and iTunes download of their songs, and then judged again until one of them be selected and becomes the VOICE champion and take home a USD $ 100k money and a record deal.
There will be excitement and thrill because if you watch them on TV, you’re going to be amazed on how awesome these singers are, well, we know that our judges have high standards, but we can see here on the tv show how they can cope on the standard of The VOICE and its participants…no more bitching and lets get on with the show.
Who are these A-lister judges? well..here they are
Adam Levine (Maroon 5)
Cee Lo Green (rap artist)
Christina Aguilera (RnB diva)
Blake Shelton (country singer)
The show is hosted by: Carson Daly (Last call with Carson Daly, Jimmy Kimmel’s Live)
The Voice premieres on 21 August 2011 (Two Hours Weekly) Every Sunday at 8pm (SG, MY, HK) 7pm (JKT) First and Exclusively on AXN
I'm some problems at home because we're running out of a good running and working optical mouse, we only have this Fujitsu optical mouse and it is the only perfect optical mouse that I use for my online work. But then my wife's optical mouse broke down and same goes to the other extra optical mouse, she now uses my Fujitsu optical mouse and now I'm having problems using this laptop's mouse trackpad because it is not good to use it for blogging, editing photos and lay outing an advertorial page for a local magazine. My deadlines are coming and things to publish online are starting to grow, I'm not very comfortable using a laptop's mouse trackpad and it hurts my wrist and my finger tips. So here I am logging in to my Multiply.com account and search for the best optical mouse that they have for me, I search and saw some good optical mouse over at the Multiply.com Marketplace, let us feature the optical mouse that is being sold by trusted online sellers of Multiply.com, I'm going to feature it first here and later on reveal what kind of optical mouse that I ordered online.
I checked on the site on what are the available kinds of optical mouse and found that there are a lot of wireless optical mouse and mini optical mouse, I didn't like the wireless and mini mouse because for the wireless it needs two batteries in order for your wireless mouse work using via bluetooth connection to your computer, and then the mini mouse doesn't work well for me because I have big hands, the only close to the perfect mouse for me with comfortable feeling is the gaming mouse, but it is built for gaming and I know the performance is good and has a high quality material and also the optical laser is accurate on the movement and has no delays.
I think I'm going but that red usb optical slim mouse that is worth P219 or that generic P200 optical mouse, I think I'll buy 4 pieces so that we have lot of extra optical mouse here at home.
Hed Kandi reminds me those energetic and moody club music that can make my feet stomp all the way until the music are finished, it also reminds of those vector artwork of Jason Brooks, and that popular song Ever After. But this time Hed Kandi take us more into music as they releases this cute and fashionable Hed Kandi Discotheque head phones, these colorful music gears are inspired from Hed Kandi’s name, style, groove and fashion. We tested it and used it for a day, and loaded my mp3 player with some club music and also Hed Kandi albums, it’s a long time already since I played those music, but I’m glad I went back to it again listening with the use of these cool Hed Kandi headphones. (MORE STORY BELOW)

unboxing the Hed Kandi Discotheque
You’ll be back on the mood listening to club music or any other genre of music, the color and style of this headphones can fit to any gender, even that the gear is blue and the wire is pink, its okay to say that this can fit for male music fans also. I don’t mind wearing it outside when I travel, it reflects a colorful aura because of its color style, I will love Hed Kandi headphones today because its different and unique for the moment, because I want to be different after I saw many people are using Beat headphones and some of it are fake ones. I just hope they don't pirate this headphones too.
There are other available colors, this one I have is Blue/Pink color, and then there's all Black, White/red and then purple/white (you can check out the color features here)
Here’s the tech spec • Driver diameter: 40mm • frequency response: 20-20,000Hz • impedence: 32 Ohms • sensitivity: 108 dB • max input power: 100 mW • cable length: 1.5m
here's a closer look on the head phones and my review
Here's the frame and look of the headphones, earlier I mentioned that this can fit to any gender, my only problem is that they have only one size and this is small for me to wear, I'm a music freak and loves headphones and earplugs, I have lots of it here at home and the only features that I'm looking for is that the headphones should not be so tight and squeezing my ear and my head, but the Discotheque headphones are too tight and small for me, I guess the teens and females are okay to use this and also to guys who have small head, I suggest you test the headphones first before you buy it, because wearing headphones that are too tight in your head for a long time are very uncomfortable.
The style and frame are very classic, I encountered this kind of style back in the 90's when I bought a DJ headphones in Raon, but this one looks strong and the metal hard wire is very stylish, so when you adjust it, the features changes and it gives another set of look that you have a robotic antenna. I don't like the idea the the wire of the headphones are revealed, you should be very careful in adjusting the frame to prevent the adjust wire on each phone be loosen up or stretched.
I also love headphones with one sided cable on it, this is the modern style of all headphones and I just don't like having double sided wires because they tangle to other wires and it can broke easily.
I like the combination and gold plating look of the headphone jack
The Hed Kandi Discotheque headphones cushion cap quality are common, the style and the leathery fabric that cushion our ears are common to all headphones, but I complained that this is too soft and light to have this for the Discotheque, you should be careful in storing your headphones and not place them under direct sunlight or cold places, because the headphone cushion damages easily (same thing that happened to my Skull Candy headphones), it can easily chip into pieces and later on those tiny fabric will stick to your ear. Don't wear this headphone if you plan to use it while jogging or running or even ride a bicycle, the material is very sensitive and it shouldn't get wet by rain, water or your sweat, if you did that it will start to have a bad odor and then breaks bit by bit.
They should have covered the metal frame, I hope its a real stainless metal
the rainbow effect color is here from the headphones up to the cable wire and the jack, the curly wire's purpose is that it stretches and added more length to your headphone wire, it also serves as a limit that you should not stretch the wire too much.
Wearing it is nice, this Lego head statue holds my music gears at home,but here it shows that the frame are too small and it can only fit to teens and females.
Connecting my Hed Kandi Discotheque headphones to my Philips Go Gear Aria that is loaded with lots of music and also podcast.
Side view of the headphone when you wear it outside.
The Hed Kandi Discotheque headphone is very stylish and cute! I listened to some music on my player and I received a lot of bass on it, perfect for club and house music especially if you are into Hed Kandi music, this is a good gear to party music lover and also to wanna be DJs, my only problem for the audio quality is that the headphones never adjust to the right music feel and compare to other headphones that it works well due to large headphone audio receiver, but this Discotheque style has a small audio receiver only.
For guys and for me that looks for a headphones that can fit to our big heads, I think the Hed Kandi Disco Heaven is for us, because of its light wire frame and small headphones, I'm not sure but I'm going try that in the future.
My wife will own this headphones after reviewing this, she already set her eyes already after this item arrived last week and its funny that I already knew that females are the right target market for Hed Kandi headphones.
