Review: Sweat Gutr

Image
The sweatband that never saturates. My usual head setup when bike commuting is a headkerchief(a one piece flexible tube cloth) to cover my nose and face and a bandana to soak up the sweat coming from my head.  I wan't to wear something on my head before putting the helmet so that sweat won't go to my eyes and glasses during the ride. I usually bring 2 scarf/handkerchief when going to the office. I use one going from home to the office and one for the way back. These soaks up the sweat for the long ride. I usually hang this on my office chair to dry before storing it in my bag. I discovered something new when I went to the ROX store in BGC. It's the Gutr sweat band. It's pronounced as gutter but they spelled it leaving out T and E. It's probably a marketing thing to make it look and sound hip. It's made of silicone with a rubber ring at the back. The ring comes in three sizes for proper head fit. It's secured with a velcro strap. The headband ...

Gadgets: ZenPower Powerbank Review

Image
I got these powerbanks from Lazada when they did a flash sale. Talk about hot products. All stocks were gone in a day.  I was lucky to get these two because they limit purchases to one for each color. It comes in a small color coded package. I got the gold one and my wife got the pink. She wanted the gold but that means I get stuck with the very masculine pink so she gave me the gold. The gold is not really like Saudi gold or the yellowish gold we're familiar with. It's more of a metallic brownish shade which is nice. The pink is also nice, looks like metallic red and not hello kitty pink. I could have gotten away with that color. Build The powerbank is made of aluminum. Solid feel and cold to touch. It claims to be credit card sized but not credit card thick. It's fat but small. On the front are four led to indicate status and charge. A power button which doesn't seem to do much but just check on the remaining charge. There are also a micro USB plug for chargin...

Review: HomeSafe High Power Ultrasonic Mouse Repeller

Image
We currently have 3 mice in our house and my wife freaks out whenever she sees them. They also leave mouse poops all over the place when we wake up in the morning. We tried rat baits but they still increase their numbers. I looked around for a cheaper ultrasonic mouse pester similar to the one they sell at ACE hardware which is overpriced at 1,000++ Php. I found this on Lazada . Priced at 599 Php, it's cheap enough to give it a shot.  It comes with an AC adaptor. Looking behind the unit, I saw a battery cover. It seems that you can run this with AA batteries. Turned it ON and waited for something to happen. A cockroach entered our room and brought chaos. Don't know if it was because of the device. It says that it can ward off ants, roaches and mosquitoes. It also claims to have a 30 sqm effective area. So far, my mom says that she didn't see any mouse poops this morning. Usually, the mouse poops are all over the place. Effective? I need to catch a mouse and ...
