Shop Globally with Uskoop

When I was a kid, we had several relatives who lives in the U.S. and some of them are my ninangs and ninongs. So every time someone visits the Philippines, we usually get pasalubongs in the form of chocolates, shoes, perfumes, shirts but of course, there will always be toys!

I told myself when I grow up, I want to visit the U.S. so I can buy those products and bring them home. But time has led me to a different path to stay in my beloved country. Thankfully, the birth of internet shopping has made it possible for customers like me to purchase products from abroad and have them delivered to your doorsteps.

It may sound easy but purchasing online requires you to have a clean credit card and should shoulder the shipping cost and import charges. Not to mention with the rise of online hackers, there is risk on online transactions.

Jollibee Unveils Augmented Reality Game: Jollidance Showdown

Probably you have heard of virtual reality games, right? If not yet, well it is an artificial, computer-generated simulation or recreation of a real life environment. It stimulates the player's vision and hearing by making them feel that they are experiencing the simulated reality firsthand. But there is another kind of simulated reality that is getting popular in digital games and apps which is called the augmented reality.

Augmented Reality is a technology that layers computer-generated enhancements atop an existing reality in order to make it more meaningful through the ability to interact with it. AR apps are usually designed for mobile devices using the phone camera where the computer-generated elements can be viewed and interact in 360 degrees angle.

Clean Your Toys - The Lazy Way

If you are a toy collector, I bet one of your most favorite part of the house is the room where you keep all your toy collections.

Now most of the time, toy collectors prefer to take the toys out of the box and put them on display. But in a short time, DUST will begin to build up on your precious toys.

As we all know, dust are:

- harmful to your lungs
- they make toys look old
- covers the gloss and actual color of toys
- when not removed, it tends to pile up and cause more harmful effect.

Babysitting Made Easy For Daddies

Having a new baby is one of the most wonderful experiences for parents like me. The father and mother become instant "caregivers" and that special care has no limits even when it comes to doing the role of a mother or vice versa.

I love my wife and I salute her incomparable labor of carrying our child in her womb for the last 9 months. As a token of appreciation, I want to be part of the next challenge in babysitting.

I opposed the notion that "babysitting" is not manly and women are only good in this field. As long as men know how to value his wife, same value applies to his child. We daddies just need to learn how to babysit. For your information, the U.S. has a growing job demand for babysitters and that includes men babysitters. If other men take babysitting as a career so why not daddies do it for free.
