Razer blade 14 inch notebook.

This company emphasizes the very thin height of this one.  At present, This laptop is the thinnest one among same 14 inch competitors.  You can imagine the height of MacBookair for this one. 

The targeted customers are gamers as gaming is emphasized. It is generally enough for most gaming tasks. Many games works smoothly in the native resolution. Users doesn't need to scale the resolution down. 

There is no resolution problem, but you would face some troubles in other side. The viewing angle stability is very limited because razor made a decision to use TN panel.   If you get used to IPS panel, it would be quite annoying.

Korean singer - Ailee nude scandal

 

 

 

The nude photo scandal about singer Aliee is still hot issue in korea.

This scandal became main topic among netizens when the article titled "Purported pre-debut nude photos of Ailee  leaked" was posted on the a U.S.-based Korean pop news site 'allkpop'.  

As time went by, this news was getting controversial  and seemed to start damaging her image so the  agency 'YMC' of Ailee released a statement "The photos were from a camera test shoot for a famous underwear company that Aliee had taken when she was living in the U.S"

  

The agency tried to contact the underwear company but it could not. Finally, the modeling offer turned out to be a fraud and then it reported the case to local police. The agency said Aliee discussed the incident with her boy friend, Daniel lee, and sent the photos to him as part of their discussion who is now a reporter for allkpop 

One guy who identified himself as Daniel lee contacted korean news site 'Dispatch' and then claimed that he had Aliee photos and wanted to sell her photos to it. This guy was confirmed as Daniel lee.

YMC hired a lawyer and is trying to find who spreaded her photos

Actually, this kind of issue is very sensitive and easily can damage celerbarity's image of a girl in korea because korea still has conservative view on a girl but in this case, netizens thinks this case is not her fault so no problems.

Shs has nice voice and shows good dance perfermanc. She is getting popular nowadays and got top 10 award given by 'melon music award 2013'

I hope and pray that this case is solved well

  

The next generation Apple Mac Pro.

Finally, Apple displayed Mac Pro that is interesting design. This has a shape of a cylinder and the fastest performance compared to the previous models. This is a desktop workstation and it is for a professional.

The design looks like the grid that appeared on star wars series. ^^ interesting!!!!

A interesting suit case : Micro luggage

Micro luggage 

Wheeling a suitcase makes us feel tired but now, It seems we don't need to do that anymore. There is a interesting product luggage case that can transforms into scooter. you can ride it !!!  If you are a light traveler, you will be interested in this one.

This would be useful in a long terminal in airport.

When you don't need to ride it, it can function like a normal baggage cabin.

 

Let's go to Cebu in Philippines! (4)

                                             
In the Cebu city, the largest mall is SM mall. It is in 20 minutes distance from Ayala mall by taxi. The inside is so spacious so if it is your first visit to here, you may be lost but people are friendly so you can ask them or guards. A guard who is the same sex checks your belongings at the entrance. Usually, There are guards in most of mall and they are doing security check to make sure that you have no gun because Having a gun is legal if you have a firearm licence.

There are a theater including (3D and 4D), many coffee shops, clothes shops and electronic products store so on.... It has most of things that people need.  This is the most popular and largest mall  in addition to Ayala mall. There are other malls but the size of that  is smaller then these two malls and the location is out of the middle of this city so if you wanna go to others, you had rather go with local people or a guide.

If you wanna look around a traditional market, There is the popular one, the name ' Colon' and 'carbon'. Colon and carbon are close to each other.  Both of two has many street vendors but colon mainly consists of some malls and electronic products stores such as Elisabeth mall and Metro mall, and carbon has small stores selling vegetables and animals so on.           

These areas are undeveloped enough in Cebu city and they actually not safety area especially for a traveler so When you go there, you always need to be careful of a pickpocket or robbery. I recommend you that you go there with guide or a local filipino friend.  

Nice bar in ayala of cebu and How to get in the taxi around Mactan airport.

Have you finished making preparation to go to Cebu? ^^
When you get out of the mactan international airport, you can see yellow cab.

(AIrport taxi)

 This is an airport taxi which has more expensive basic fare than a regular taxi. The fare starts from 70 peso and a regular taxi's basic fare is 40  (2012 fare). You costs less than 250 peso to go to mango square and Ayala mall by a regular taxi so if you can find a regular taxi outside the airport, check weather or not a meter turn on and then use the taxi. Sometimes, taxi drivers turn off a meter and when he get to the destination, he requires more money.  

                                                      ( Regular taxi-white one)

Usually, travelers go to malls for the first time. There are many malls in cebu city and here, let's look around Ayala mall among them. 
                                      

This mall is the second largest mall in cebu city. There are everything that you need such as a theater, bar, starbucks and pharmacy so on...also, many events are held inside and outside the mall in the evening so you can go to the mall to enjoy the events roughly after 8 pm.

There is the one bar that I would like to recommend you to go to. The name is 93rd.
This bar is located in the last floor on the left side corner. It is open in the early evening.

The DJ is playing musics and you can drink some kinds of cocktails or beers. There are some books displayed on the wall so you can read them.

Affordable and gorgeous hotels in CEBU.

If you don't find any accommodation and have no friends there, Making a reservation in advance is necessary for you because a room is often full up.

I recommend Cebu R Hotel as one which is value for money. I stayed in the hotel for one week. When i made a reservation for Standard R room, the reception manager upgraded from my Standard room to Deluxe r for free because i was staying for quite long days and there were some empty Deluxe rooms. My room was a so spacious for a man. There were a refrigerator, air conditioner and flat TV.  All staffs were friendly and kind. 

This hotel is good for a person who wanna stay in good location that is available to reach to every place in the short time as this one is located near mango square so you can go to most of famous places by taxi easily and fast such as Jy square, Elisabeth mall, Ayala mall, and colon and carbon street and SM malll

You can check the rate of room in the website below. The rate is 21.87 USD for standard room at this time when i am writing this one.

If you want a hotel which has higher quality and the same advantage of location, Crown Regency hotel can make you satisfied. The rate of room deluxe room is 58 USD this time when i checked. The special feature of this hotel is to provide various recreational services such as 'sky walk' and 4D Theater so on... and there is  a casino next to his hotel in 5 minutes walking distance and club' Jave' in 10 minutes distance by walking.

When you wanna go to mactan for hoping tour or diving, you can get there within 30 minutes by taxi and It usually costs less 300 peso.

  

   

Let's go to Cebu in Philippines! (1)

There are many cities in Philippines. If i choose the best one among them, i would say that is Cebu. Cebu is one of the most developed provinces in the Philippines, with Cebu city as the main center of commerce, trade, education and industry in the Visayas.

The people there are using Tagalog and English is the second language so If you speak English, There is no problem in communication there. 

Before going to Cebu, what do we need to prepare? The First is clothes!!!

Cebu has tropical climate' and the season is divided into two 'dry and wet season'.Dry season is roughly from December to may  and Wet season is from June to January.

 In the wet season, there are heavy raining very often so It is better to go to cebu in dry season if you have no special reason to go in wet season and you mainly need to prepare some summer clothes

When we talk about travels, we can't forget medicine !!! Preparing some medicine in advance is very necessary. When you prepare medicine,that would be for the cold,fever and diarrhea. Especially, water there contains a lot of lime so many travelers have a diarrhea problem during and after two weeks coz of that. I recommend you to buy some medicine for diarrhea in advance, and whenever you wanna drink water, just buy water in convenience store or supermarket. Don't drink service water in any restaurant.  Drinking water from water filter is safe.In my case, when I stayed there for one year, i had no serious diarrhea problem but I saw the most of my friends having stomachache due to water.

Thirdly, Philippines currency are peso, not dollar but you can easily find a currency exchange office  so you don't need to worry about exchanging your money for peso but it would be helpful for you to exchange some dollars in advance in your country. Most of malls has a currency exchange office and I saw and tried some on the street but the exchange rate was not good and very doubtful.It is safe and good for you to make a deal with a currency exchange office in a big mall . 

Forth, maximum staying time there is 30 days without visa.  You need to go to Bureau of Immigration to extend your visa if wanna stay more by paying for that.It was 21 days but it has been extended up to 30 days.

Visa extension charge below

         The first (29) : 3300  peso  The second (30) : 3590 peso

      The third (30) : 2630 peso  The fourth (30) : 2630 peso

         The fifth (30) : 2630  peso  The seventh (30:) 3640 peso

I-CARD : A foreigner who stays for more than 59 days must register this card.

charge : 3000 peso
