Posted on February 5, 2022March 1, 2022 by jane

The New York Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) was founded in 1929 by three women. It was the first museum dedicated to new art that included paintings, drawings, film, design, and performance. UNIQLO and MoMA have been partnering since 2013 to make art more accessible to the world.

The latest offering of this partnership is the UNIQLO T-Shirts (called UT) Collection where an array of authentic pop culture and art graphics from around the world can be found on UNIQLO’s t-shirts and sweaters. UTs offer an array of authentic pop culture and art graphics from around the world that express wearers’ individuality. Both UNIQLO and the Museum of Modern Art aim to make art and museums accessible to as many people as possible under the concept of Art For All.

Beko’s SteamCure Hygiene+ washing machine uses steam to loosen stains and dirt

Posted on October 9, 2021October 9, 2021 by jane

Growing up, I already knew that hot water helped loosen stubborn stains and dirt on clothes. We did not have a washing machine then but I saw our helper pour hot water on our clothes and leave it soaking before washing them by hand. Many years later, when we already had a washing machine, we still soaked stained clothes in hot water before running them through the wash cycle.

Moms and single men and women are so lucky these days with appliances that make housework a whole lot easier. Doing the laundry with a feature-filled washing machine is one of them.

Beko recently launched its line of automatic washing machines. Its line of Beko SteamCure Hygiene+ automatic washing machines releases steam at the bottom of the drum even before the wash cycle starts.

Miss Universe Philippines to Release World’s First Beauty Pageant NFTs

Posted on September 21, 2021September 21, 2021 by jane

Have you heard of NFTs ? NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, are digital assets that can represent a wide variety of real-world concepts such as ownership over one-of-a-kind art, videos, in-game items, and other collectibles. NFTs can be used to represent items such as photos, videos, audio, and other types of digital files. These are bought and sold online, usually using cryptocurrency, and they are generally coded with the same software as cryptocurrencies.

The NFT trend has come to Miss Universe Philippines. RedFOX Labs, a Southeast Asian venture builder, has joined forces with Miss Universe Philippines in making history as the world’s first-ever beauty pageant to drop an NFT collection.

The Miss Universe-Philippines NFT collection will be released on September 24, 2021, and will be available for purchase using the RFOX token via MetaMask or Uniswap.

Netflix’s new Top 10 list for the Philippines makes it easier to watch Pinoys’ popular shows

Posted on February 28, 2020 by jane

How do you decide which Netflix show to watch?

Last Christmas, at a Netflix party for media, we got into discussions with the Netflix team from Singapore. They were eager to hear feedback from Netflix viewers in the Philippines. One of the issues I brought to them was my problem looking for good Netflix shows. I told them that I went by friends’ recommendations or if I happened to see posts on Netflix’s social media accounts. While there has always been a “Popular” row, the list was culled from popular choices globally and may not necessarily reflect the tastes of Filipinos.

What do you know? Now, there is a new row showing the “Top 10 in the Philippines Today”.

Experience Sakura spring time at Starbucks!

Posted on March 5, 2019 by jane

It’s springtime!

I know….we are in tropical Philippines. There is no spring. But in many other countries with four seasons, the ground is suddenly coming out of its wintry sleep as plants and trees start to come alive. What a great time it would be in Japan as spring brings with it the sight of cherry trees all abloom with cherry blossoms.

Starbucks embraces the changing of the seasons with Sakura merchandise, beverages, a special card, and a special spring coffee blend.
