Everyday life has become so busy and fast-paced that I sometimes get the feeling that I do things automatically just like a robot. Because of this, I do not get to enjoy the good things in life the way I used to. There are even times when the activities that I once loved doing no longer appealed to me. I have become less passionate about them which I know is something that I should instantly curb otherwise I would be living an unhappy and meaningless life. I realized that I am too serious and rigid and that I am living life for all the wrong reasons.

This is pretty much the same message that Tiger Beer’s latest campaign, Tiger Street Football 2014, conveys. It is more easily understood because of a short video featuring Deco (Anderson Luís de Souza), a retired Brazilian-born Portuguese professional footballer, who happens to be one of the few players to have won the UEFA Champions League with two different clubs – FC Porto in 2004 and FC Barcelona in 2006. It shows him walking in an empty stadium, thinking how football is such a beautiful game. He thinks that sometimes instead of playing with their hearts, people play with their heads. They lose track of why they play football in the first place. Since football is so beautiful, Deco wonders why people keep it caged and says that true football should be free. This means that it can be played anywhere, even on the streets (as symbolized by the stadium exploding), with fun and passion.

Tiger Beer, the world famous Singaporean beer brand brewed in 11 countries and available in over 75 countries worldwide including Europe, USA, Latin America, Australia and the Middle East, presents #uncagefootball, transforming football for the better and “uncaging” it from its traditional chains through Tiger Street Football 2014 which is a great break from traditional football. Fans are invited to share their views on what they love and hate about football by July 28 and suggest new rules for the game by visiting the Tiger Uncaged Football Website. The fan with the best rule suggestion will win a trip for two to Barcelona and will meet Deco. Only those from Singapore, Australia, and Cambodia can join.

Please visit the Tiger Facebook page to stay updated with the latest information about Tiger Beer and subscribe to the Tiger Youtube channel to view all their campaigns. You can likewise spread the campaign by tweeting and sharing Deco’s video on the Tiger Twitter page using #uncagefootball.

Because K-pop musics are indeed entertaining , plus, the soul of the song are still there which capture the interests of the listeners even it does sang in their mother tongue, Hangul/Korean. Yeah! that’s how the Korean musics invades the whole music industry today.. Also, Korean pop music are composes of variety of materials where you can even hear some jazz sounds to it and at the same time pop sounds are blending well to one another, I dunno on how they arrange their musics but overall the Kpop is amusing to listen and it is really catchy and easy to follow.

Few days back, the sibling duo, Akdong Musician, had released their new song called GIVE LOVE. Actually, I’ve heard this already when the siblings are still on to Kpop star and I think they’re the one who composed this song. But I am not still sure though about it.. ehhe but you can try to listen this give love song at above video, you may also see the duo dancing in their cute moves..

Summer is not that close but some people like planning ahead. This is article for those who wonder where to go this summer. Here is a list of attractive summer destinations:

1. Maui. It has multi-colored beaches, jaw-dropping scenery and five-star resorts. Adventure-seekers can hike through the lush Haleakala National Park or drive the winding Road to Hana. Or if you’re craving a bit of sun, spend your summer lounging on Wailea’s shores.

2. Fiji. There really isn’t a bad time to visit Fiji, but many consider the summertime — with its constant sunshine — to be the best season. If you’re able to get away in early June, you might be lucky enough to score an over-water bungalow without busting your budget.

3. Antalya. According to Budget Travel magazine, the Turkish Riviera is a beautiful European destination that comes without an excessive price tag. Hotel rates have dropped by nearly 25 per cent in the past year, and as a result, it’s become a must-visit playground for money savvy travellers.

4. Sardinia, Italy – The Mediterranean Island of Sardinia has long been a favorite summer stop for Italians, but it’s stunning beaches, growing culinary scene, and historical monuments have helped make it the top summer destination for international travelers.

5. Algarve, Portugal – The Algarve region in southern Portugal is home to some of Europe’s most spectacular coastline and is still one of the continent’s most affordable vacation destinations. While coastal cities like Portimao and Albufeira are popular among package vacationers, Algarve’s real treasure is the endless miles of seaside cliffs dotted with spectacular grottoes, hidden beaches, seaside cafés, and dazzling underwater caves.

Also, dont forget to bring some cookies to bite as you travelling in any of the places mentioned on top. Just found them here for you to choose..

Awesome Timepieces by Peter Cuderman

by admin

When Peter Cuderman set out on his quest to find a luxury watch, he never expected to be so taken back by the whole experience. After being frustrated, he decided to do something about it. The young B-school graduate left his cushy desk job in J.P. Morgan’s Private Bank and opened the doors to his business venture. He created Washington Mount Vernon, an American company that produces top quality watches. The inspiration for the company was from a watch discovered in the late 1800’s from the Washington Watch Company. Using a contemporary approach and inspiration from the Washington Watch Company, the first line, The 1776, was produced with a classic and timeless touch.

An automatic watch; the timepiece comes with an ETA 2892 movement engraved beautifully with the company seal and the all seeing eye, bearing each owner’s serial number. The hour and hand minutes are small scale modeled hands of the Washington Memorial. While the watch presents a simplistic look, each hour and the WASHINGTON name are raised with a 1.5 mm height and .25 mm thick polished index.

The package wouldn’t be complete without a box. The full sized treasure chest replica is a special reminder of the olden days of watchmaking. One of the company’s short term goals are to bring production from Switzerland to the United States. Each watch also comes with a certificate of authenticity, sealed in a wax envelope.

Washington Mount Vernon launched their Kickstarter campaign on May 2 and will be up and running for 43 days. You can pre-order a Washington 1776 for $575, roughly $700 of their suggested retail price. Go check out their campaign and support! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/washington/the-1776-premium-automatic-timepiece-watch

by admin

photo 615344565_zpsec4c03e5.jpg

Technology has always been interested topic to think about, but it is even more interesting now, when the technology has a big influence in our lives. There are many things going on in the world and it is very hard to follow technology today since it is developing very fast. Here is a list of trends we can expect in this year:

1. More and more ads. There number of advertisements is expected to increase. It is the best way to sell your product or service. Of course this is about internet ads and not the ones we see off-internet.

2. 4K content. 4K HDTV offer screen resolution approximately four times better than your standard 1080p and what is surprising is that their price is not that expensive! This will be one of the best things that happened to the TV industry ever, even better than the 3D. People will sell their TVs and replace them with new 4K HDTV. Well, of course those who could afford to do so.

3. Smart home technology. Nest and Lockitron are companies that include technology in our homes. It is expected that many other companies will follow them which will lead into an “explosion” of smart home technology.

4. Bigger games. Well, the gaming industry is something that is expecting to be much more popular this year with bigger games.
