PGG turned 3 years old last February 24 so I thought of changing the look of the entire blog. There are several improvements of this theme over the old one and you should be able to see it as you explore the new layout. It’s easy to get used to.

I hope that you like the new look as much as I did. It’s not yet 100% complete and I’m still fixing things up and tweaking some parts of the layout so if you notice anything unusual, broken or if you have any suggestions, please let me know.

By the way, I’m currently looking for write-up contributors so if you like to be one, contact me here.

I received word from their marketing arm that Skechers, Zoo York and Ecko Unltd is on sale. So if you happen to be somewhere near Ortigas (Tektite Bldg, PSE Tower), head on to their sale. They are slashing prices up to 70% off. See details below:

And once you’ve been there, comment below and let me know what you think of their sale. I hope to drop by there too if I find time.

Today I stumbled upon your new car while I was strolling on my way home. It’s the new Toyota Prius.

I must admit that I do not always find your Toyota cars to be that stunning. Yes, your cars are very reliable – that’s given. But to have me and other people look, feel and touch the Toyota Prius over and over again was really something.

After doing a bit of research, I found out that the Prius is a full-hybrid car relying on a specially-made engine to burn fuel very efficiently. I would like to take it for a test drive.

I also searched for more photos of your Prius because I cannot get over it. Here are some that I found for my readers:

So Toyota, all I can say is that it’s never too late to give me a Christmas present. I want a Prius!

Here is the latest news from Adidas Basketball. Check out photos of their latest sports shoes and apparel at the end of this article.

PORTLAND / HERZOGENAURACH (OCTOBER 15, 2009) – adidas Basketball is launching a new campaign for the 2009-10 NBA season titled It’s On Me for My Brotherhood.  The campaign, which launches October 15, celebrates the individuals of a Brotherhood and the contributions they make.  It’s On Me for My Brotherhood shines the spotlight on two rising NBA stars, Dwight Howard and Derrick Rose, and how adidas Basketball footwear and apparel improves their performance therefore strengthening their Brotherhood.

“‘Celebrating Basketball as a Brotherhood’ has been widely successful for adidas.  It hit home with the basketball-crazed consumer and we want to strengthen that relationship,” said Ryan Morlan, head of global communication for adidas basketball. “The ‘It’s On Me’ insight is a celebration of Brotherhood as told through the players that make it up.  While the focus is still on Brotherhood, it’s a challenge to the individual to step up and be faster or stronger in order to improve the team.”

It’s On Me For My Brotherhood comes to life through an integrated marketing campaign that is digitally centric. The campaign will be housed at the updated www.adidasbasketball.com where consumers can experience six sharable product films featuring NBA All-Stars, interviews with each and behind the scenes footage from various adidas events.  Online efforts also include the NBA, adidas, and EA Sports Become an NBA All-Star promotion, where fans have a chance to win the Ultimate NBA Experience and a trip to the 2010 NBA All-Star game in Dallas (for details on the promotion check out www.shopadidas.com).  adidas also partnered with Eastbay.com to generate exclusive content including an online chat, taking place on October 28, with Rookie of the Year Derrick Rose.  The digital initiatives will be supported with a special-effects driven TV spot featuring NBA stars Derrick Rose, Dwight Howard, Kevin Garnett, Chauncey Billups, Tim Duncan and Josh Smith.  Print ads and retail programs will also be implemented worldwide.

It’s On Me For My Brotherhood features new footwear designed to strengthen a player’s performance and contribution to their Brotherhood.  Howard, Duncan and Garnett will wear the TS Commander LT, a shoe that is 6oz. lighter than previous Commanders, giving them superior cushioning minus the added weight.  Rose and Billups will wear the TS Cut Creator which features ForMotion technology and a TPU lateral support piece to minimize stress during hard cuts.

In addition to the footwear, It’s On Me highlights adidas TECHFIT compression apparel, which will make its debut this season as the official compression apparel of the NBA.  TECHFIT includes the torso tank top, shorts and an arm and calf sleeve.  A new revolutionary Speedwrap ankle brace, which is five times more efficient than tape and reduces ankle injury risk by 40 percent, rounds out the new performance apparel that further enables players to step up for their Brotherhood.

For more information on adidas TECHFIT, TS Commander LT, TS Cut Creator footwear or adidas promotional partnerships and giveaways go to www.adidasbasketball.com.

It astonished me to see the cellphone maker now creating mini laptops. One would initially doubt Nokia in making laptops because their forte is in making cellphones. However, the features of the Nokia Booklet 3G just seem to be too good and really convincing as it really suits my need for mobility. Here are just some of the specs:

-12-hour battery life (means that you can leave the charger at home)
-Powered by Windows 7 Operating System
-A cool and stylish aluminum design
-Unlimited connectivity by WiFi
-3G/HSPA with hot swappable sim card (not yet sure how this will work)
-1.3 MP front camera with microphone
-Global Positioning System (A-GPS)

Just take a look at the video here which is guaranteed to give you goosebumps on all its impressive features.

They say that this will be priced at 575 Euros (roughly 40,000 Pesos). At such an expensive price, I will have to stop drooling and will think more than twice before buying. How about you?

It surprised me how good their research and development was. I mean, they are a Filipino brand and if I’m not mistaken, Gatsby (which happens to be the most popular hair wax for men), doesn’t have a colored hair wax yet but this Filipino brand already has. This is something which makes me more proud of being a Filipino.

Out of curiosity, I tried their colored hair wax and it’s nice. It’s temporary and washable. They are available in two colors – red and brown. I guess you should try it if you want a non-permanent hair color or if you just want to see how highlights look on you before going to a salon to get yourself a more permanent or long-lasting one. These colored hair wax are perfect for highlights!

The 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray

So would I drive a classic car? Well to own one – maybe not (If I had the money I’d rather spend on the latest car models). But to try to drive one, why not? I would personally love to take the 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray for a test drive! How about you?

During our lunchbreak yesterday, we had funny conversations with my office friends. We were actually talking about Father’s Day – an annual event which has caused much confusion to all of us and surprisingly, even to members of the PGG Forums. I’ve always thought that Father’s day is on the second Sunday of June but it’s not. It’s on the third Sunday of June which is tomorrow.

So much for the intro. Anyway for the past years, I have always observed that sometimes dads are considered less important than moms. I don’t know if you observed that too, but it’s always the case that dads are perceived as a parent who is not emotionally expressive and who doesn’t need much attention as moms do. But in my opinion both parents should be equally given much importance and attention. So tomorrow, make sure to make Father’s day a special day for your dad. I know that someday we will also become fathers too.

Then today as I was browsing through Father’s day articles I stumbled upon International Men’s Day and I could hardly believe that such an event exists because no one seems to celebrate it here in the Philippines. And since Pinoy Guy Guide is a men’s blog, I thought that it would be nice to share with you that International Men’s day falls every year on November 19th. Hmmm, quite far but at least we now know. So do you think that as guys, we are so underrated? What do you think?
