United Colors of Benetton Launches New Fragrance Line

Posted on the July 26th, 2010 under Contests and Promos, Events, Perfumes and Scents by AJ of Baklaako.com

I love collecting different kinds of stuff. From bags, hats, eyewear, jackets, fragrances to hotel toiletries (yes!) – I collect them all. Fragrances, in particular, are my favorites. Even if the bottle is all dried up inside, I still keep them because I want to be reminded of the scents I wore at certain points in my life.

Whenever I’m in public and get a whiff of a scent I used to wear, I’m always reminded of the emotions I had while I used to wear that particular scent.  Even if I have lots of different bottles of colognes and perfumes, I would always have one “scent of the moment”, which I would wear as much as I could. Most times though, I would wear a different scent everyday, just so people around me won’t get sick of smelling the same scent.

Samsung Unveils Innovative Devices at the Pahiyas Festival 2010

Posted on the June 2nd, 2010 under Electronics, Gadgets, Photography, Technology, Travel by AJ of Baklaako.com

Samsung recently launched their newest innovative devices to lead the digital imaging evolution during the Pahiyas Festival.

I got the chance to try out two of their products – the SMX-C20 Digital Camcorder and the ST550 Digital Camera. The festive colors and fantbulous designs of the houses in Lucban, Quezon were easy to catch using the SMX C20 camcorder (for the videos) and the ST550 (for the photos).

I have to admit though that I really wanted to try out their other products (specially the NX10 – a next generation camera), but they only had three units during the event. Then again, there’s always a next time, right?

The Pahiyas Festival at Lucban was the perfect place not only to eat free food, but also to appreciate a Filipino tradition. You cannot go to Pahiyas and not take photos and videos, becuase trust me, you would definitely want to capture priceless moments. These memories are best saved not only in your mind and heart but also in the memory cards of your digital imaging gadgets!

Samsung Electronics Phils Corp (SEPCO) made that possible for me and other bloggers as they unveiled their latest line-up of cameras and camcorders which are designed to meet the consumers’meed for high quality digital imaging and easy photo management. One of the good things I appreciate about Samsung is that they have the consumers’ needs in mind when they develop new products. They focus on enhancing usability with technology advancements that help the consumer take and manage photos better.  And all these while improving sharing and connectivity features.

Here are some of the latest innovative products they launched:
