Truth be told, as a self professed kikay, the major contributor to my purse’s weight isn’t much of my beauty stuff but my can’t-leave home-without-gadgets. I make sure the makeup kit I don with me is as lightweight as can be. This is why I recently got hold of the Charm Pocket Brush Set, which I will blog about later.

I shared last week the story behind my being able to air hockey my way to a brand spanking new Blackberry Torch 9800 in Red,  here comes some unboxing photos.

First off, I love that it’s in the exact color the kikay in me would have chosen. Not that I will say no it if it came in the other color it is available in, which is Black. The deep red color is just so me and I cannot me more thrilled to be tinkering my way into getting acquainted with it — which I did in no time!

She’s pretty, right? But don’t be deceived, she’s not all but looks. It is actually the first Blackberry that comes in Blackberry OS Version 6.0 Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve always been curious about Blackberry but never really got around to it until  last week during  Blackberry’s First Fans Meet Up attended by Research in Motion’s (RIM) Senior Manager in Social Media for the Asia Pacific, Mr. Gerald Ang.

The idea is for the Blackberry Pilipinas fans to meet the just launched Blackberry Playbook. It was an intimate and fun-filled event hosted by certified BlackBerry addict Rovilson Fernandez. A number of Blackberry Pilipinas fans, bloggers and celebrities like Rich Herrera and Rich Hardin of Team Philippines (Amazing Race) were there to celebrate the event.

We were introduced to each other by pairing us up with another guest.  The object was to learn three interesting things about our new friend. We did that.  It was fun, given all the random,  even quirky facts about our newfound friends.  One man shared that he shaves his legs for speed. He’s a runner and it’s the benefit he believes he gets out of doing so. How interesting can people get, eh?

And did I mention that the event was held in Marriott Hotel’s Garden-inspired ballroom.  Cozy, elegant, quaint. I’m totally digging the ambiance of the place. :-) Read the rest of this entry »

When I received an invite for the grand launch of Beyond the Box some couple of weeks back, I knew I would have to scratch out my mindset on not going to events that are held beyond Makati. I have loved Apple since we got hold of our iPad and iPhone 4, the hubby’s and mine, respectively. And this, I knew I had to check out.

The Beyond the Box launch was as grand as grand can be. It was hosted by Lifestyle Channel’s VJ Janeena Chan and Philmug chairman Elbert Cuenca.There were probably over a hundred of instant prizes that guests and members of the media went home with. Among those that were given away were headphones, hard drives, portable chargers, thumb drives, et. al.

As a satisfied HTC user myself since August of this year, I was thrilled to witness the unveiling of HTC’s brand new Android-based smartphones – HTC Desire HD and HTC Desire Z last November 23, 2010. While a considerable bunch are into Android nowadays, we might as well stick with the company that makes the best Android Phones, right?

First off, just a few facts that you probably didn’t know about Android:

Kikay Corner was picked by the Asus team during the Asus EEE PC Seashell Karim Rashid Collection (1008P) Philippine Launch held last night at Icon Intercontinental Hotel, to receive this fab of a netbook. There is probably no netbook more Kikay than this.  I love it to bits!

My dear hubby owns an ASUS netbook (1005HA), so I know how this little monster performs. I love that I now have a matching all girly, pink, just the way I want my netbook to be. Karim Rashid, one of the world’s leading designers definitely made this particular Eee PC Seashell more appealing and hip. To achieve this distinct and gorgeous look, ASUS’ industrial designers have had to pioneer a plethora of material, production, and textural innovations, such as the combination of rubber paint, in mold roller (IMR), and metallic materials to create thoroughly unique finishes.

Glossy Hot Pink

Hot Pink is the new black for fashion and a shock of punchy pink is just the thing to brighten any ensemble. This positive and very orgulous color clearly communicates the idea of immateriality, entropy and energy of a strong optimistic presence. The Hot Pink Eee PC™ 1008P—which recalls a fashionable woman strolling down New York’s Fifth Avenue—has a metallic silver bottom layer and a transparent Hot Pink IMR upper layer.
