The morena beauty further expanded her horizon and took her acting prowess to the next level. It was on this path that she would be destined to meet her current partner.

Oppo F3 Plus

Oppo won a huge chunk of the already saturated Asian market with its selfie-centric product development, running with it ever since. The F3 Plus is the company’s upgrade to the highly popular F1s. I got my hands on one to see if the new tech upgrades warrant an entirely new-generation phone model.

NyneTT

Music is life, but wires will be the death of all of us. Have you looked inside that drawer under the TV recently? It’s a rat’s nest of tangled wires and dust. Fortunately, we live in 2017, and that means accomplishing what once required the vinyl embrace of a cable is now wireless. Today, we take a look at the Nyne TT, Bluetooth speaker, and find out if it’s up to the task of enlivening your next party.

Honda HR-V Mugen

The HR-V got my attention the first time I saw it at its launch some time back. Something about a stylish crossover SUV that leaned more towards the sporty side of the spectrum has its appeal, so when I got word that I’d have the Mugen version to test, I have to admit, I got excited. Here are my thoughts after a week on the road with the car.

LS2 FF325 Strobe Civik

I have an unusually big head. This is usually not a problem with my day-to-day life, but once I have to go shopping for a helmet, it becomes something of a problem. There are very few fullface helmets that I can cram my head into, but not having anything covering my chin freaks me out. The solution? Go modular. The Helmet I’ve been stuffing my head in for the past half year has been the LS2 FF325 Strobe Civik, and here’s what I think about it.

Lenovo Legion Y720 Cube

For a lot of people, PC gaming can be quite an intimidating thing to get into; not everyone knows how to build a rig from scratch, and really it’s more convenient to just pick up a console and start playing out of the box. However, pre-built gaming desktops are becoming more and more akin to their personalized counterparts in terms of power and flexibility. Lenovo’s new iteration of the Legion Cube is one such machine.

Oppo F3

The OPPO F1s was a true game-changer in the smartphone market. Upon its release, units were selling, like hotcakes. This feat was only to be expected from a phone that captures selfies impressively and retails at a very competitive price. OPPO hopes to recreate and multiply this success with the launch of the F3.

Fitbit Alta HR

I am not physically active. I find working out at the gym aimless, and the whole burning calories part makes it feel too much like work. I need motivation to get my mind excited rather than anxious for exercise. Recently, I got my hands on the newly launched Fitbit Alta HR, the updated version of the Alta health and fitness tracker, now with continuous heart rate tracking. Is this the key to giving me that push to take better care of myself?

Carl Zeiss Lenses

I’ve needed eyeglasses since I was in grade school. Being near-sighted with astigmatism, I had to wear eyeglasses all the time, which I hated when I was younger. My prescription was so high and the lenses were always thick and heavy. In college I wore extended wear soft contact lenses and needed to wear eyeglasses occasionally as backup. But now after developing dry-eyes, my doctor shifted me to Scleral Gas Permeable Hard Contact Lenses to lessen my eye strain, especially after long hours of working in front of the computer. But for the past two years that I’ve been wearing Scleral Contact lenses, I’ve had a pair of reading glasses perched on top of my head just in case. Regular reading glasses did not protect me from eyestrain when working on the computer nor from the glare of the sun. After a long day at the office, my eyes were tired, driving home was sometimes a challenge. Then I learned that Carl Zeiss could tailor-fit a pair of spectacles for me that would address all of my concerns:
