Review - Kobert Waterproof Case for Mobiles #KobertWaterproofCase

I have never tried a waterproof case for my mobile before. I am glad I received the Kobert Waterproof Case for mobiles such as iPhone and Samsung. My Samsung S4 fits perfectly inside the Kobert Waterproof case. I also like the fact that the plastic cover is clear and I could still use the touch screen even when it was submerged.

I tried to submerge the Kobert Waterproof case in our bathroom sink while my mobile was inside. I was honestly nervous at first but I had to trust the product. I didn't fill the sink to the brim, just enough to be able to submerge the whole case.

For a minute, I waited and observed for any water to seep in and I am glad there wasn't any seepage at all! Though the surrounding factors are more controlled but the real test will be is when I actually use it in the beach, swimming pool area or during the harsh winter where it can get wet too or where it can be humid.

I like this case. It's not very hard to open and slip the mobile in. It also comes with a lanyard and a free stylus too!

This product is available at Amazon.

Review - Pro Tavel Planner App

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

When embarking on a trip, you don't just buy a ticket out of whim, pack your luggage and head to the airport or hit the road.  There is more than meets the eye when planning a trip.

Trips are hectic as they are fun. There are always the planning, the budgeting, the choosing of destination, the selection of accommodations, the planning or the itinerary, the maps, the routes to take, the souvenirs to buy, and all the managing of that one single trip can be very stressful. And a trip is not worth having when you are worrying!

Thank goodness for apps to help us with that! The ever handy Pro Travel Planner helps speed things up. With this app, you can have all those worries disappear in a jiffy, since its an all-in-one package.

Features:

Manage your travel buddies' list
You can track their RSVP, real-time statuses and their contribution in the whole trip. You can also text, call them easily in a single touch.

Plan your all your trip in one place
Manage your lodging, transportation details, places to visit and where to eat. This feature also allows you to automate everything so it makes planning easy as it can trigger auto-alerts of pending tasks.

Integrated with IOS map
It has updated maps that you can use you when you travel. You can search for places of interests and has 3 types of view: Standard, Hybrid and Satellite views.

Ability to control your budget
This is a great app to keep your budget on track. You don't get to overspend as it provides a real-time status of the expenditures.

Manage your packing list
It is loaded with an intensive packing list so you and your travel buddies do not miss anything.

You can collaborate, sync and delegate tasks
Don't want to plan the whole trip alone? The collaboration, sync and delegation features allow you to assign tasks to your travel buddies and be updated with their contribution too.


All these features are made more powerful because you can customize them and the trip data of your planned trip can also be exported to Google spreadsheet or in PDF format.

This app is only for iPhone and iPad as it runs in IOS.

My recommendation:

I am from a family of travelers and sometimes, it can be overwhelming to plan a trip for all of us. Sometimes, my in-laws join us too and it can be daunting, to say the least. I have to make sure that all I have planned for and painstakingly coordinated for several months will not fall into cracks. An app like this Pro Travel Planner is the best app a traveler like myself can have and use.

If you travel a lot and always on the go, this is a great app to use.

It can be downloaded from the iTunes app store for $4.99.

iPhone Applications

The iPhone is such a versatile mobile/smart phone. You can do so many things and download plenty of applications which suit your lifestyle and preference.

I have recently discovered so many functional applications I can use in line with my work and other personal requirements. Those applications are under productivity category. There are more in the Apple App store than just the productivity category. 

You can browse through the various categories in your iPhone's app store and search for free apps if you prefer to not pay. Not only that, some apps have trial offer so you can try them first before you decide to purchase them.

I am fond of the games and other lifestyle apps you can find in the iPhone app store. Although my iPhone is a second hand from my hubby, I try to weigh things first before I download an app. Not all these applications will be used regularly so I only download and use the ones I think will make my life more fun.

So, if you have an iPhone, iPad or even an iPod, check the myriad of choices in your app store and see what you can download for your personal and professional use.

Birthday Gift in Advance

Well, yours truly will turn 39 in few weeks time. I have just been given an advance birthday (and surprise at that too!) by my sweet darling hubby last week.

He knows I do not fancy high-tech smart phones because I barely answer my own mobile. However, as sweet and generous as he is, he took me to the mall last week. He was so casual to just ask me to go with him to buy some grocery. So I just went and even told him I did not want to buy anything because I was saving money. He said it was okay. So, to make the long story short, I went along. The moment we entered the mall, he led me to the mobile section and casually asked me, "Okay Honey, you choose which BLACKBERRY you want." You should have seen the surprised look plastered on my face! I was so embarrassed because I really and sincerely did not want anything for my birthday. I am just happy to get through being 39 and go on with my life. There I was, almost on the verge of crying because my hubby knew I secretly admire the BlackBerry but did not want to buy one. He was planning to buy me for sometime already and he took the right opportunity to do just that because of the Dubai Shopping Festival. I chose the very cheap one but he asked me if that was what I really wanted. I actually had my eyes on the BlackBerry Curve 9300 which was slightly expensive than the older model I was checking out. He asked the sales person to give me the BB Curve 9300 and the rest was history.

I love my advance birthday gift so much. I even sleep with the BB next to me which I normally don't do. Dear hubby has been teasing me a lot lately by telling me how he regret giving me the BB because all I do now is chat incessantly with the BB messenger ;)

Anyway, what more can I possibly want now?

Top pic: My daughter caught and snapped me tinkering with my BB (which I named after a famous gay actor in our country - BB Gandang Hari) and of course, the diva dog had to be in the pic too!

Below is the wonderful BB Curve 9300 hubby bought for me. Oh, what a bliss!

Surprise!

Surprises, whether pleasant or not (of course, I'd rather get the pleasant ones) are the least of my favorites. I have never been keen on such because not too long ago, I got a surprise which changed my life forever. It wasn't the kind of surprise one would like to get especially while at work but just like what a surprise is intended to be, it just came. That surprise was a bad one, one that I'd wish I never had been bequeathed by the Higher Force.

Few days ago, I got a phone call. I normally don't pick up calls in my mobile from numbers I do not know nor listed in my phone book. This one call was different. I was at work when the mobile rang and I just glanced and thought, "Hmmmm, who might be calling me this early?" I answered and the man on the opposite line was a pleasant guy asking how I was and I asked how I may help him. He told me, "Oh no, how (the name of the shopping mall!!!) might help you" and he laughed a little. I asked why. Then comes the nice surprise. He told me that I won the raffle. It wasn't the major prize because that was yet to be drawn! hahaha... However, I won a cash prize and no matter how small the amount was compared to the major prize, the fact was, I won! Yey! I thanked the Lord and called my husband and daughter right away to share the news because it's not so often that I get calls like that. Now, that's the kind of surprise I'd desire to have...
