UPDATE – 19 April 2011 – I received an email from Johnny Air Cargo that taxes are included in their shipping fees. Nice, even with the taxes included they’re still cheaper that the big name couriers!

I’m a practical gadget and electronics enthusiast (technology junky). I get excited about consumer electronics easily and it frustrates me when those gadgets are only available from abroad, specifically, in the US. If I buy from the US, I’m forced to pay an unbelievable shipping cost because of international shipping. I’ve been shopping online for a decade already and I’ve written a short, but helpful guide on how to shop online and buy items abroad here.

In this article, I want to give some much earned attention to my favorite shipping service from the US: Johnny Air Cargo Retail Padala.

To get some information about the history of Johnny Air Cargo (JAC), visit there About page here. Johnny Air Cargo Retail Padala is their service for shipping items from the United States to the Philippines. Well, it’s not as simple as that. They offer more. They do the following for you: Continue reading »

I’ve been a SMART Broadband or SMART Bro subscriber since 2004. I was actually the first in our street to avail of their service. Though SmartBRO’s service is not perfect (no broadband provider is), I’ve received consistent service ever since.

Now, I’ve just learned of a new FREE service for SMART Bro subscribers: SMART Bro UNLIMUSIC. Unlimusic lets you download the greatest hits from your artists. They currently boasts of 300,000 songs available as FREE downloads for SMART Bro subscribers only.

If you’re a SMART Bro subscriber, why not check the UNLIMUSIC page and check if your favorite songs are available. I’ve downloaded 5 songs already, and I’ll probably download a thousand more.

Ever since I came across the works of Philip Bloom(the cinematographer that became famous because of his inspiring works with video-capable DSLR cameras), my interest for video and film making has been getting the best of me. To get started again with video, I got hold of a Canon EOS 550D/T2i so that I can learn the basics of HDSLR film making. ( “HDSLR” is the other name of HD-video capable DSLRs) Because of this urge to learn, I went looking for good resource materials to help with the learning process.

One resource I found that I believe will help a lot of newbie filmmakers is the B&H DSLR Guide.

According to the B&H website:

The guide is an educational tool meant to provide critical information to independent filmmakers, photographers and cinematographers that want to create compelling content but would like to know more about the new form of filmmaking. In the guide, also find different categories of products that may be useful on a film set such as the latest lens controls, viewfinders, cameras, audio accessories, etc.

What I like about the guide they created is that it gives you a good overview of what is required to do HDSLR film making, and it has a great list of recommendations of products that can you tailor to your video projects.

So if you interested in making videos and films with your video DSLRs, go and check out the B&H HDSLR guide.

A lot of people would agree with me when I say that One of the best things that came out from the Internet is online shopping. Online shopping is convenient, exciting, and ADDICTIVE. Unfortunately, online shopping isn’t instant gratification: you still have to wait for items to arrive. For some, the waiting adds to the excitement of buying online. To some, the waiting is the most annoying part of online shopping.

I’ve been shopping online since 2002. My first purchase was for a 2nd laptop from an Ebay seller in the U.S. I got hooked after the first bid. After 8 years, I’ve learned enough lessons on doing international online shopping that now I’m listing these lessons in the following section. I hope they help you with your exploration into international online shopping. Continue reading »
