Cu4tro Cantos

The Four Songs of Life

Cu4tro Cantos is the new Ala Eh Blog. Since I cannot provide pure Batangueño articles, I decided a revamp of the site, which I think is more appropriate. Cu4tro Cantos refers to the four members of the Cantos Family. In spanish, Cuatro means Four, and Cantos means Songs.

The Best FREE Anti-Aging Solution

Most people are afraid of looking old and try to look younger than their age. The usual way of fighting against aging is using beauty creams, surgery, etc. If you have a hundred grands (in pesos) to spend, there’s no doubt you can have major make-over of yourself and look like 10-20 years younger.

There are ways to look young without spending much. One of the cheapest ways is to keep yourself neat. A haircut can make you look young for a hundred bucks (in pesos). For men, 40 bucks could do it, plus shaving facial hair. But still, you spend some amount here.

There’s a Free solution I discover and I want to share it with all of the people. Most people I know denies their age when asked about it. Some even try to change topics. My colleagues, for example, if asked about their age, the subtract few years from their real age and they do not know the are just making themselves look even older instead.

Given:
You are 30 years old who looks like 32.
You were asked about your age by a friend and told him your age is 30, you still look 2 years older.
If you said 28, you are now 4 years older than your age.

Does denying about your age make you look young? In the statement above, it’s clearly stated that subtracting some years from your age is not a good idea.

Now here’s the solution I want to share. Read More

My new backpack is not a Samsonite

I just bought a new backpack which closely resembles the Samsonite Laptop Backpack Yuga got last year. See pictures below.

It has a lot of compartments, good enough for your tiny gadgets. There’s a room for your laptop as well, though the fabric is not thick enough to absorb minor shocks but you can easily find a padding in stores.

Simplicity is its major factor. It simply looks like ordinary backpacks which I believe serves as its main security - a disguise that nobody can easily recognize that there’s a laptop inside. But now you already know it. It also has a strap on the outside where you can attach your foldable umbrella. An added disguise.

All in all, I like the bag and it doesn’t look cheap.

My wife also have one for herself. Think she’s getting prepared for an ASUS E? Btw, you can only avail this backpack from our company merchandise. But if you’re really interested of having one, you can leave a comment on this post because I will surely raffle out one unit for this season.

    Mechanics:

  1. You must leave a comment here showing your interest of having this bag. Deadline is on December 24.
  2. Include your prefered color (maroon, black, green, orange, gray). Depends on availability.
  3. You must be a blogger who doesn’t work in my company. Simply because you can avail one yourself if you also work here.
  4. You must be a blogger who resides in the Philippines (to save shipping cost).
  5. You must be interested on the bag!

All in the eyes

I saw an episode of the Sweet Life on QTV-11. The show talks about making the women feel good and look good. It is hosted by Lucy Torres-Gomez and Wilma Doesnt. The topic that day was about the different aesthetic and medical procedures to enhance the eyes.  

They featured eyelash extensions. The procedure involves gluing extra long and thick eyelash strands carefully to each eyelash of the patient. The procedure takes an hour and a half to complete and the faux eyelashes stay in-tack for at most 3 months. One guest got to try it and the results were naturally looking thick, long and curly eyelashes!

Exchange gifts

One tradition that we still never fail to practice during the holiday season is gift-giving. There’s the Kris Kringle; you give gifts that fall within a particular theme for your baby. Some popular gift themes are ‘something hard’, ‘something long’, or both: ‘something hard and long’. There is the thrill of wondering who your baby really is.

 There is also the Exchanging of gifts, you buy something within a fixed budget and get to exchange it with someone else. Sometimes, you have to buy Unisex gifts to be safe and to make sure that your gift will be enjoyed by a guy or a girl.
