The Most Expensive Watches In The World


We all want to experience a bit of luxury every now and then. Whether through jewelry, fine dining, cars, gadgets, and so on. But would you overspend for a wristwatch? Here are some of the most expensive watches in the world which I find interesting.

Priced at a whopping $5 million, the Patek Philippe Reference 1527 Wristwatch belonged to the Stern family (the owners of Patek Philippe). It is made with 18 karat gold, 23 jewels, a perpetual calendar, silver dial, and gold Arabic numerals.
With a price tag of $4.6 million, the Louis Moinet Meteoris Watch has a Tourbillon Asteroid dial that features a handcrafted fragment of the mysterious Itqiy meteorite which formed close to the sun thousands of years ago before making its way to Earth. The amazing black and white pattern compliments the central silvered hour and minute hands as well as the main spring and tourbillon escapement that are revealed by the dazzling open-work dial architecture.

Cool Youtube Videos about the PH from Non-Pinoys

We, Filipinos, have a saying which is Mahaling ang sariling atin. This is why we are proud of our country, people, places, and culture. We are happy sharing anything about Filipinos to our foreign friends.

Maybe this is why many have embraced the “It’s More Fun in the Philippines” tourism campaign. Apart from us, foreign people have embraced the diversity of the Philippines; showing their love through Youtube videos. Here are some interesting ones I found. Happy viewing!
Here’s Cody Mafatu and his Philippine adventure: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRHVZfs1Doo

Youtube user TheDpsmith has a quirky video showing his trip to the PI: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yj94xKQXVqs

User ThisWorldRocksTravel has a nice video, too, featuring his trip in El Nido, Palawan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ciw9s1fpUCs

Watching such videos can give Filipinos an idea on how foreigners view our country. And it’s nice! J It lets us somehow see the country through their eyes. How about you guys? Do you have any videos you would like to share? I would very much like to see them! Just post them in the comments section, please? Thanks in advance! Have a good one!

Photography Fails


Constantly browsing Youtube has led me to countless videos – how to’s (tutorials), parodies, music videos, movies, bogus stuff, rickrolling, and such. One of my favorite videos to watch is the fail compilation videos. It’s funny and enjoyable to watch alone or with friends. It can be painful to watch at times since it usually involves with someone getting hurt. I’m sure you’ve seen one or so before. But have you seen photography fails before? Or something related to it, perhaps?

Here are some of my finds on Youtube:
