iTV Goggles

Back in my College days, when my first morning subject starts at as early as 6:45AM, I always miss some of the morning TV shows and news that I have been accustomed to watch when the school days has not yet started. The mobile TV or video devices was not yet a fab back then. Even the internet video streaming was not yet that popular. So there was really no option for me to be able to watch my missed TV programs. All I can do back then as I walk towards our school, was to imagine that there's an eyeglass with a built-in TV where I could watch the some TV programs while also having a view of the street and the surroundings around me while walking.

Imagine watching your favorite TV program while on the road
It seems so real to me as I let my imagination float but at the same time, I absolutely know that it is impossible. How would you fit in a TV screen, antenna, switches, and the electronic parts that comes on the appliance to make it work?

But a few months ago, while I was reading the newsletter update from Geeky-Gadgets, I was amazed with the gadget that I came across with - the iTV Goggles. And yes, as the word implies, it is a television, in goggle-type design.

Amazed as I was, I thought that I was the only one left in the office who doesn't know about this kind of technology, and when my officemates came to read about the specs of this gadget, they were even amazed on disbelief and just left me with question: "Is this real?"! Well I guess, some of us here in the Philippines have been left behind with information and knowledge about new technological discoveries.

Goggle TV = Private Home Theater
The iTV Goggles comes in different models and colors. But most of the models boasts of packed-features such as wide virtual screen, 3D support, 2GB memory, A/V input capability, and much more. The price ranges from $179.99 to $399.95 or approximately Php8,450.00 to Php18,797.00. It's not much as compared to mobile phones that goes as high as Php50,000.00 or higher, but as of this moment, this generation, this time, the iTV goggle is not yet available in our Country. And all I can do is once again, just imagine myself wearing this cool gadget while walking towards the office, then suddenly, somebody in a motorcycle would just grab this expensive device from my face and disrupt my viewing moment with regrets of the hard-earned money.

National Geographic and Climate Change

The populace of running has tremendously increased and still continues to do so up to this time. Running has become a fitness trend as well as a way of life, if not for all, but for many people. People of all walks, age, affiliation and status have been hooked in this new kind of “golf”. These made event organizers, companies, foundations, non-profit and non-government organizations attracts the heart of runners to support a lot of purpose – from a fund-raising event, product launching, marketing and advertisement, and for the cause of their beneficiaries if any. When I regained my interest in running way back in 2008, I and my colleagues participated on an event that has benefited a TV network’s foundation which has also been helping a lot of people. Just after a few months, we are again on the same kind of event, which was to benefit the “Tahanang Walang Hagdanan”. Then we joined next some promotional campaigns such as the “run don’t ride” campaign of the Land Transportation Off

Will You Run For a Free Education?

Before the upcoming 2010 Philippines national election, let us all first run for a free Education, just for one day! I have always wondered where will I be at every moment of my post-school life if I have not been privileged for a scholarship granted education. With my Mom occupying two kinds of responsibility to us - her 3 kids - both as a Father and a Mother, we have no special means of coping up with all the budget constraints. In my high school years, I've learned and enjoyed special activities that makes me earn from as small as Php 0.25 to as high as Php 3.00 just to save up for my College years. I've enjoyed selling plastic bags in the busy market, Newspapers in jeepney terminals and in the streets of our village, washing dishes for a summer job in one of the famous hotels, and sell sweepstakes tickets together with the blind people in Baguio City parks. While my sister, who is now in Australia, as early in her 1st grade in elementary, learned to barter fresh fr
