LUMOS, a Singapore-based brand, has released a new version of their best-selling LUMOS home cinema projector, the LUMOS FLOAT. It comes three years after the original affordable home projector hit the market. And this new iteration is sexier—lighter, slimmer, more versatile, and even comes in three colors. Let’s see if it still retains the quality of the original in its new package.

The last movie I saw in the theater was Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Like George Lucas’ galaxy that’s far far away; it was, for me, a time, far far away. That’s more than two years of zero cinema experience.

The Pandemic has forced everyone inside their homes. And while things have eased a bit now, I’m still hesitant to go out and watch a movie—fearing I’d bring home a nasty virus and risk my unvaccinated son’s health. The only option for us, really, is to simply stay home and make do with our standard 36” flatscreen TV.

But that was before LUMOS RAY landed into our home.

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and if you’re a travel bum like me who only gets to enter shopping malls once in a blue moon, you probably don’t have anything ready for your girl yet. V-Day is just a few days away and if you can’t muster the energy to go malling, online shopping just might be the thing for you.

I’m not sure how it happened but I always seem to get e-mails from online shops offering items at discounted prices. Their products are tempting enough, so I checked out their site to see if they have items related to traveling and sure enough, they have tons of it.

If you’re romantic partner is also a travel junkie, here’s five sweet gifts you can get for her (or him):

I once asked Ed of SoloflightEd why he got an expensive Headware than buying a much cheaper bandana to use for his travel. He explained that it was much better than your regular biker dude bandana and proceeded to demonstrate its uses. Still, considering it is ten times more expensive, I was left unconvinced.

A week ago, I got a chance to test this wonder bandana called Headware in Baguio City after being sent a couple of samples. The first one’s a limited edition Marvel-inspired Headware that’s a bit too colorful for my taste (so I gave it to A instead) and the other’s a much more conventional black floral design that I kept.

Some might think that something as simple as a notebook can’t be seriously included as an essential for would be travelers in today’s electronic-driven world, but it is.

I find my small notebook invaluable when I go out of town. It may not be as small as an iPhone (well, it almost is) for taking notes down, but it does the job faster. I generally have it on my belt bag where it can be easily pulled out should I need to jot down some passing info that I would usually forget after an hour or so.
