When running out of space on your iPhone?  I recently discovered this Kingston Data Traveler Bolt Duo flash drive for Apple iPhone and iPad.  When your iCloud and iPhone memory reaches it's full capacity you really need to have a flash drive to back up your photos and videos.  While Android users can easily use USB-c flash drives, for Apple users it's hard because there are no flash drives with lightning connectors before.  Well now there are a lot of these lightning connectors flash drives available in the market.  Kinda felt like a  yesterday person because I just learned about this Kingston flash drive with lighting connector. (haha). - Better late then never, right?! To use this, you need to download the Kingston bolt application on the Apple app store.  After installing the application you can now connect the Bolt drive in your iPhone or iPad. With the Kingston bolt you can transfer, capture and view the things that your backed up on your USB driv...

source: Google Maltipoo is a popular cross breed between maltese and toy or miniature poodle.  Even though they are not recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC) (because they are not pure bred) these dogs are considered designer breeds.    I have a Maltipoo and his name is Mochi. He is two years old now and I wanted to share my experiences with him if you are planning to get one. Here are the 10 things you need to know in owning a Maltipoo: Low shedding - that is why they are considered a hypoallergenic breed.  It does not shed that much so they are safe for allergy sufferers.  Based on my experience, some members of my family have allergies including me but luckily we don't have allergy attacks having a maltipoo in our home.  As per AKC there is no such thing as a 100% hypoallergenic dog.  Dander which is attached to a pet hair is what causes most dog allergies in people.  Since Maltipoo's coat is silky and soft it allows dander to fall out....

source: smartiac.org For those asking how I started earning in blogging.  Just a backgrounder: I started my blog in Friendster, then transferred to Multiply that was in 2005.  Before Multiply discontinued it's operations in May 2013, I am already starting my account in Blogger (which is known as Blogspot before) if I remember it right it was in 2006.  I started earning through Google AdSense in 2020.  As I have discussed on my previous post, it took 2 years before I reached the $100.00 threshold (to become eligible for payment). FYI, amount of threshold depends on your location or country, in my case here in the Philippines its $100.00.     How to get Google AdSense? If you are already a blogger or vlogger,   you can earn from your content by signing up at Google AdSense.  To sign up with Google AdSense kindly click on the link :  Google AdSense sign up . But if you are a beginner you can also sign up with AdSense but for me it...

source: Google.com When you reach the Google Adsense threshold (in my case) here in the Philippines it's $100.00, you are now eligible for payment.  Keep in mind that your account should be verified first before you can receive payment.  To be verified you will receive a Google Adsense Pin which will be sent to you by postal mail within 2 to 4 weeks.  It took a month before I received mine  because of the pandemic, I entered it as soon as I got it (Pin validity is 4 months from the date your pin was generated and if you don't update your account your ads will stop showing). After entering the pin and verfying my account  I added my bank information where the payment will be sent.  Before you can choose whether to receive it via Western Union but now payouts are sent by wire transfer to your bank.  For me, I think it's more convenient.  How to add your bank information: Log in to your Google Adsense account Click on PAYMENTS Then go to "How to get ...

source: Sephora.com For those who is not familiar with this make up line, it's owned by Patrick Starrr.  Patrick Starrr is a Fil-American make up artist who recently launched his own make up brand.  Honestly, I have learned about this brand through the vlog of Small Laude, when she had a collaboration with Patrick Starrr.   I admit (super curious) really wanted to try it.  I have tried American make up brands like Clinique and Colour pop and they did not disappoint.  So why not try One/Size to support a fellow Filipino.   One/Size is available in Sephora Philippines online:  One/Size on Sephora PH .  Since I have a hard time sourcing Clinique Super powder double in Matte Honey, I decided to try it's powder foundation.  What's good about the Sephora website they can help you find your shade.  To find your matching shade: just choose the brand, product and shade.  In  my case, I chose my favorite Clinique shade - and th...

source: google (ctto) Have you experienced fitting your favorite outfit and it does not fit anymore?  Or your clothes size started from Small and now you are either Large or Extra Large.  It's really depressing, right?! As people get older, based on my personal experience maintaining our usual weight becomes really difficult i.e., even if we don't really change our eating habits.  Honestly this had brought me a lot of stress and anxiety especially when I turned 50 last January.  Yes, I am aware that weight gain as we grow old is inevitable but let's face it this really affects us.  Especially when someone comes up to you and tell you: "Uy, ang taba mo!"  (Hey, you gained weight!)  Things we don't really want to hear, especially when you are in your peri menopause or menopause because women are more sensitive during this stage in their lives.  I exercise regularly, walk and use stairs instead of using the elevator and the escalators at work... I am...
