In the Philippines, getting a government-issued ID is such a hassle that you always, always want to get it done in the soonest possible time so you won’t have to drag it along and deal with it later.

A Driver’s License is just one of the primary government-issued proof of identification that you can get. It is also a popular choice of ID card, as far as I know, because it’s small and handy. It can fit in your wallet given its standard credit card size and you can take it out anytime you’re asked to present a proof of identification.

Other forms of proof of identification in the Philippines such as the NBI and Police Clearance or a TIN ID is bulky compared to a Driver’s License; the former is as big as a sheet of A5 paper, and the latter is a little bigger than the standard credit card size. Recently, the Postal ID was revamped and it now comes in a standard credit card size and plastic card type. You may also consider getting that instead of a Driver’s License if you like.

I usually turn the other way when it comes to makeup because I don’t know a lot about it. Probably my laziness and lack of eagerness to actually try is to blame but no matter how much I try to get a headstart on it, whether from watching tons of tutorial videos on how to achieve a no makeup makeup look, or or.. following a handful of Beauty vloggers hoping they’d inspire me so much that I actually buy makeup and start my pa-girl adventures. Nada, no progress on my end.

However, if there’s one thing that gets my attention.. that would be the packaging design of the makeup. I noticed that in some of the videos I watch, they often focus on the packaging of the product before they test it out. Just the packaging alone gets me researching and checking out the entire brand and their other products.

Are you confused now, if this is a beauty post or a design-related post? 😛

Lenovo, a brand closely associated with computers, has also branched out to the smartphone industry. Actually, this isn’t news: They’ve been at this for a few years already. Remember when Kobe Bryant was one of their endorsers? He even had a TV commercial and all. Bizarre choice for a personality, in my opinion. But hey, whatever works with the masses. 😛

The tech brand gone a long way since 2011. From tablets, to phones, and smartphones. I hadn’t been paying attention to any of this until I actually saw a Lenovo phone from one of my friends at one party last year. It looked pretty decent and sturdy for a cheap (it was literally a cheap phone, a freebie from another friend’s phone plan lol), entry-level Android smartphone model.
