MSI The Great HP Sale 2011
Labels:

MSI is currently offering their annual Great HP Sale. From November 28 - December 2, 2011 9AM - 7PM, get discounts on various HP and non-HP products such as notebooks, desktops, PC and laptop accessories, Apple accessories, storage, speakers, cameras, smartphones, projectors, servers and more. You can go ahead and download their complete product list for the sale although I'm not sure if they update this every day. Head over to MSI-ECS Bldg., # 3 Economia St., BAgumbayan, QC. But before you do, try to be a smart shopper by checking the items you want online and calling if they have stocks.
I went there just a while ago I was quite surprised on how long the line was. You had to take a number (bottom right photo) from the guard before you can go in the office to browse the items. I didn't bother waiting because the current number was about 300+. I'll probably just go back later today with the list of items I want to get since the guard said that I can still come and use the number even if it's already passed.
If you do plan to go to the sale, I suggest you go early and get a number or get a number in late in the morning and just go back in line after lunch. The guard said they give up number as early as 7AM.
JBL Speakers plus Spyro Review
Labels:

A few days ago, I got invited to JBL's event where they showed their latest line of speakers available in the market today. I remember back then we had these very sturdy JBL box type speakers back then which still worked when we sold them in a bazaar. The sound quality didn't deteriorate much given the length of usage and the abuse in high volume. I was curious as to what JBL currently has to offer us consumers. Good thing I actually went because I was lucky enough to win home a brand new JBL Spyro speakers which I made a review on below. Yahoo!
JBL OnBeat
JBL OnBeat
The JBL OnBeat caught my eye first. It has a cool design and it's especially made for iPhone and iTouch. It is able to rotate portrait or landscape. What I like most is how small this speaker is. It's great for those out of town trips you want to listen to music and videos to but requires an AC outlet for it to operate. It uses Phoenix transducers technology to deliver clear and crisp sound. Included is a remote control so you can sit back and relax.

JBL OnBeat Xtreme
JBL OnBeat Xtreme (w iTouch attached)
Not to be confused with the JBL OnBeat is the JBL OnBeat Xtreme. It's a few inches larger than the JBL OnBeat and the design looks even more impressive. Similar to the JBL OnBeat, it can do portrait and landscape mode.
The great thing about this speakers is that it could dock iPod, iPhone and iPad devices. It also has built-in Bluetooth so you can do hands-free calling (at least with iPhone and iPad). When attached you can simply speak through the built-in microphone. This is perfect for my 2nd gen iTouch which doesn't have a built-in microphone.

JBL OnBeat Xtreme (w iPad attached)
Included is a JBL OnBeat Xtreme RF remote control which you can use to navigate your iPad, iPod and iPhone menus, iTunes songs, playlists, photos and videos. You can easily change tracks, system settings and more, from up to 30 feet (9 meters) in any direction.
The video being played (photo above) was set at maximum volume and it still delivered sound with minimal distortion. There's even several sound settings you can select. I like the power bass setting best. You need to hear it to believe it
JBL on Time Micro
JBL on Time Micro
Out of all the displayed speakers, the JBL on Time Micro probably had the poorest design. I just didn't think it was in the same level of all the other speakers in terms of aesthetics. Maybe it was the placement of controls, the plastic like "snooze" button or the casing or finish it had. It just didn't go well with the iTouch.
The JBL on Time Micro also acts as a radio and an alarm clock.
JBL on Air Wireless
JBL on Air Wireless
The JBL on Air Wireless has a very sleek design. Unfortunately, the design compromised its usability. The circular speaker design makes it a bit difficult to attach my iTouch. It only provided little room for me to work with in getting the iTouch into the dock which wasn't very convenient. It also took a bit of time getting used to the controls. It wasn't as easy as doing a trial and error. I would probably have to read the manual to fully understand how to operate this.
Looking into its features, it has a built-in radio and alarm clock. The LCD is also a big improvement as compared to the JBL on Time Micro.
JBL on Tour
JBL on Tour
JBL on Tour is a small, compact, ultra-portable speaker that can deliver 4 hours of playtime in one charge. It's best used for those out of town trips or small gatherings. If your familiar with X-mini, the JBL on Tour actually has the same features but performs better in terms of sound and design (at least for me).
Design wise, it looks really nice. It comes in White Glacier, Black Carbon or Red Dragon designs.
In terms of usability, the 3.5mm headphone jack can be securely hidden inside a rubber lining at the back of the speakers. No longer do you need to organize your wires again.
It also has that same feature with X-mini that could connect multiple speakers through the headphone jack as shown in the top-right photo above.
JBL Jembe
JBL Jembe
Now this is a sweet and simple entertainment speakers. It has a simple design yet usability is just right. There's a white LED power indicator on the front of the speakers as you can see on the photo above. What I do like most is the volume control. You can't see it in the photo but the volume control is located on the top of the speaker with the power LED. It's a disc that has a circular dimple (for grip) which you turn clockwise and counterclockwise to change the volume. To turn it off, you simply needed to turn it counterclockwise until you hear a slight "click" that locks the control.
JBL Duet 2
JBL Duet 2
The JBL Duet 2 would look nice beside your computer or laptop. There's also a JBL Duet 3. Only difference is the technology and size and price of course.
JBL Creature III
JBL Creature III
True to it's name, this speaker really looks like a creature from outer space. It's very cool looking. It comes in black and white design. The “capacitive” touch controls are accessible and easy to use. It delivers big sounds with it's subwoofer and satellite speakers.
JBL Spot
JBL Spot
The JBL Spot reminds me of the white robot in Wall-E. It has a dome shaped subwoofer and satellite speakers that resembles the cartoon character.
JBL Spot
Volume control on the JBL Spot is located on top of one of the speakers. The volume control is sensitive to a light tap of the finger. It was quite responsive when I tried it on their demo. The only issue I had with the volume control is that you don't know the current volume of the speaker is before you play something. For all you know, it might surprise you with a loud sound when you play your media. I wished there was a sound that would indicate what the current volume is similar to when you increase the volume in Apple laptops using the keyboard.
JBL Spyro
JBL Spyro
The JBL Spyro displayed at the event is color fuchsia. Good thing I didn't win this color. It's not the color would emasculate my manhood but because it wouldn't look good in my room. The JBL Spyro is also available in sleek black or simple white.
The design is quite similar to the JBL Spot except for the obvious difference in the satellite speakers.
JBL Spyro Review
I like the minimalist packaging of the JBL Spyro. This is one box you would be proud of carrying around the mall. I just found it a bit inconvenient that there's no handle which meant you had to carry it with both arms.
All the parts and speakers are packaged securely and neatly. Unboxing it was a fun but tiring because of all the excess plastic the speakers and wires had. I sure wish they could try to minimize on wrapping plastic. This goes the same for other electronic companies out there. I know there's a purpose but do you really have to put 2 layers of plastic?
The JBL Spyro has 2 available AC power chords. I'm not sure what the technical terms for these sockets are but I know the big socket with the 3 pins is usually used in HK and Singapore. We usually use the 2 round pins which usually requires an flat pin adapter to plug it into our standard wall socket.
The manual is quite easy to understand. All the instructions that you need are on 1 page with illustration to aid. I had no problem setting this up.
I appreciate the fact that they made the ends of the left and right speakers different to easily identify which wire goes to which hole. But I'm guessing the right wire is a multi-pin wire (not sure what it's called) because it also carries the signal for volume control. I like the how the wires look and feel like ropes that you use in wall climbing.
The back of the subwoofer hold all the holes for the satellite speakers, the AC, the audio line in. It's arrange in such a way that the wires will not overlap with each other. On the middle is a button to power the JBL Spyro and on the rightmost is the control for the subwoofer bass level.
I usually turn off all my electronics at home when not in use so placing the button at the back makes it awkward for me to reach. My solution for this is to face the subwoofer backwards. It looks OK overall except for the fact that the wiring for the right and left satellite speakers has to cross over each other.
Another concern for me is the control for the subwoofer. I don't know about you but I often tweak the control of the subwoofer depending on the media I'm playing. Similar to the power button, it's hard to reach if it's at the back. The knob control also makes it uncomfortable to turn because the left satellite wire near it is blocking it once you turn it halfway.
Similar to the JBL Spot, the volume control is operated by tapping the + and - button found on the front of the satellite speakers. I really had a hard time in getting the volume control respond to my touch. I'm not sure if it uses sensor but I was already using my thumb and sometimes it doesn't respond. My brother tried to play with the volume as well and he had the same feedback. Like I said, I wished there was a sound notification so I know that the speakers is responding to my touch.
Despite the usability problems of the JBL Spyro, the sound it produced was outstanding. The bass provided by the subwoofer was awesome for something that size and the sound was crystal clear even at maximum volume. The JBL Spyro can easily fill up sound in a large room.
Overall, I think JBL really are the best in creating speakers in terms of sound and aesthetics but they really need to think the usability more thoroughly. The JBL Spyro provides great quality sound and should look amazing with your PC/gadgets and room. If you don't mind some of the flaws in usability, you should consider buying this speaker.

Thanksgiving Dinner and Sales
Labels:
archive
It's not in our culture to celebrate a longstanding American tradition - Thanksgiving. However, if you think about what it means to celebrate it, it might actually bring something good not only to the table, but to family and friends as well. A few days ago, Mel and I was invited to the United States Potato Board (USPB) and United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for a special Thanksgiving dinner. This was their way of saying thanks for the continued support of the media. All the same, I'd like to take this opportunity, to thank you, my readers, for the continued support of this blog.
Thanksgiving falls on November 24. In the US, Thanksgiving marks the time of Black Friday sales/deals, the biggest discount offering of the year across different products. Although we don't have real Black Friday sales/deals here in the Philippines. I gathered some local sales by SM (Thanksgiving sale on Nov 24), Black Friday Sale Event (Nov 25-27) and Winter Wonderland Pre-Christmas Bazaar (Nov 25-27). Read more at the end of the post.
UPDATE: Added 2 more deals. Big Garments Sale at Meycauayan and Eastwood Richmonde Hotel buy 1 take 1 buffet.
Thanksgiving Dinner
We had our dinner at Restaurant 9501 inside the ABS-CBN building ELJ Communication Center. It was my first time to go inside that building. We didn't see any local celebrities though on our way up to the restaurant.
Our timing was perfect. Chef Myrna Segismundo was just talking about how she whipped up original and off-the-menu recipes using US Frozen Potatoes. All from appetizer to the dessert! It's like being in Iron Chef haha.
While waiting for the 1st dish to arrive, we munched on some homemade potato bread with a choice of tomato jam or Adobo pate. The potato bread was a quite heavy so we only took a couple of slices. Not sure how they infused the potato into the bread but it gives it a hint of that potato flavor. The tomato jam was just superb. I liked how it tasted like regular jam but with tomato chunks. The Adobo pate wasn't bad as well. This seemed like a good start to dinner
Homemade Potato Bread
(Tomato Jam, Adobo Pate)
Our first dish was the Seared Scallop, Straight Cut Potato and Waldorf Salad. The Scallop was perfectly cooked and the sauce and dressing complimented it nicely.
Seared Scallops, Straight Cut Potatoes
(Apple Waldorf Salad, Basil Oil)
Our next dish was a divine Truffled Mashed Potato and Porcini Mushroom Froth. It had mushroom bits underneath that gave the soup texture with every bite. We used a small teaspoon to drink from it. It was nice because each and every sip made the next one better.
Truffled Mashed Potatoes
(Porcini Mushroom Froth)
Before we were served the main course, we were offered a glass of wine. I got myself a white wine. It was poured into this nice wineglass that had etching of the restaurant.
Roast U.S. Tom Turkey
(Bread and Nut Stuffing, Minted Orange-Cranberry Relish, Creamed Spinach, Candied Crinkle-cut Potatoes, Giblet Gravy)
Poached Pears & Grapes
(Mashed Potato Crepes & Vodka Sabayon)
The culinary possibilities of US Potatoes are endless. The USPB has always believed in the work and talent of Filipinos in the food industry and has pursued in its commitment to nourish their creative spirit by providing various opportunities for chefs, caterers, and restaurant owners to explore the versatility of US Frozen Potato products.

Bigoli Party Packages (Win GC)
Labels:

Organizing a Christmas party for your office, friends or relatives? Ristorante Bigoli came up with Holiday Packages ideal for groups and companies. Ristorante Bigoli is an Italian restaurant that brings together two of the most popular dining concepts- the Italian Family Restaurant and Quick Service in a casual setting. Bigoli currently has 3 branches located at Trinoma, SM North Edsa Annex and the recently opened flagship store at Eastwood City Walk. I blogged about my experience at Bigoli a few months back.
Help spread the Bigoli holiday Christmas cheer and packages and Win some GCs! Read on to find out how
You may choose to hold your party at Bigoli or order out, Bigoli can cater to your every need and budget.
For the Holiday packages, they have Santa's set plates which includes a variety of combination of pizza, chicken, fish, pasta and rice plus a single-serve drink. This is probably best if you plan to distribute food evenly for all people. The Santa's set plates are available for a minimum of 20 orders only.
However, if you want people to share which I think really brings out the Christmas cheer out of everyone, you can go ahead and order the Party Platters good for 8-10 people. There's chicken, pasta, and stromboli.
If you want to customize your order depending on your needs, you may also call Bigoli and they would be more than happy to arrange it for you at the best price possible. Discounts might even be given for orders P10,000 and above.
