We seem to have lost something somewhere along the line, something that we can’t quite seem to find. That we all feel we lost somewhere…is innocence, the main reason nostalgia is very big and anything vintage is hot is because that thing which we seek. Put one other way, we all yearn to decelerate and come back to a more innocent time. Before it happens, somewhere like a time when we didn’t tweet about everything that happens to us almost. We want to take our time and not be rushed, to savor the straightforward pleasures. Hence the newfound chic and popularity of the existing-fashioned barbershop experience, where a hottowel cabinet and some bay rum still makes us slow down, savor the experience, and smile. 

Like a Spa for Guys 

With more and more gentleman rediscovering the pleasures of shaving having a badger brush and straight or safety razor, old style barbershops are enjoying a renaissance. They typically strive to recreate an older-school atmosphere with hardwood floors, old-fashioned barber chairs, and period furnishings and décor. The popular guys’ website Art of Manliness even has a Barbershop Locater widget on site that finds a barber shop near you and lets you post a review later. 

The Shave is the Best Part 

Although you can get a good haircut at the new breed of barber shop, some argue that isn’t the main attraction. The best of the latest, old-style barber shops offer a premium shave with a real straight razor. Before you get your whiskers removed, you will get a hot towel treatment of some sort, which is generally considered one of the best parts of the entire experience. After your beard is softened, the barber will apply some cream or soap to your prepared face having a badger hair brush. Then he’ll expertly shave your facial skin with what the Brits still call a cutthroat razor. If you have never shaved having a straight razor you are set for a treat. The shave is close and the sensation is similar to none other. After the shave you will need a splash or two of Bay Rum or some other classic after shave (like Clubman). That’s it. You just had a classic barbershop shave. 

Please don’t want to immediately Tweet about it for all your friends. Just savor the ability. 

After experiencing a true barbershop shave you may well be in the market for a towel cabinet of your own. TheLA Shophas them, in all size and price ranges. Check them out today.  - The Lifestyle Portal

In this hectic, demanding life, we are all looking for a heart-contentment that fulfills our yearning for love and protection…

For a quiet place to rest. For guidance and comfort and deliverance from fear. The secret lies in the gentle words of Psalm 23: “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. . . .”

This beloved psalm’s beautiful lines feed and comfort our souls. But its greatest gift is that it offers what we all need-the secret to satisfaction in this life, and in the one to come-and promises what we can all experience-an intimate relationship with the loving Shepherd who fulfills the very longings of our souls.

“Where are you looking for satisfaction? How will you know when you’ve found it? And when you think you’ve discovered the secret of satisfaction, will it last for eternity?

“In the deepest recesses of our hearts and minds, there are hungers that cannot be satisfied by the things of this world. St. Augustine once said that we were created with a God-shaped void. I agree. Only God can meet the deepest longings of our hearts. Nothing can satisfy us apart from a personal relationship with Him….

“Who knows what will satisfy your deepest needs better than the One who made you? As your Creator, He can see what your needs are going to be tomorrow and ten years from tomorrow. So He certainly knows what you need today!” --Adrian Rogers

Nowadays, internet is really a huge necessity. Everything that we need to know, what more do we want, and what makes life easy depend on the internet! It seems that we can't live without the internet today!

As a blogger or social media expert, one thing that fulfills my need is the internet connection. I've almost tried all the internet providers but they failed my expectations! Until I found one internet provided which satisfy my desire. And it is no other than the Fibr Broadband!

Finding this Fibr internet broadband is just like finding someone to love and marry for the rest of your life. It satisfies the saying that "hinding-hindi mo ipagpapalit." Its connection, its fidelity, its strength, and efficiency were truly irreplaceable! 

Well if you will ask me the question, "How would the odds be in your favor if you had a Fibr connection?," then my answers will be:

One of the odds I'm always facing is the slow internet connection. I've already tried DSL, wifi, routers, and hotspots from different providers. They were good at first but as we go along, slowness was experience

which pended my online activities. With PLDT Fibr, this issue was fixed! I didn't anymore experience slow response from different applications. Instead, it's fast all the way!

Another odd that makes my day mad is the location barrier! Yes, all of us found that in some places, certain providers were strong but in other places, their signals were weak! Therefore if you want to check-in via Foursquare or took photos of your activities and share them in Instagram in real time, they were pended because the internet signal/connection in your area is too weak! Thanks that Fibr resolve this hindrance! Go to any places you want with Fibr, then you can stay online 24/7 without any issue! Cool!

And of course, Fibr gives the crisp and almost true-to-life details of your favorite media! You can watch YouTube videos and listen to your favorite music in Sound Cloud without logging giving you the complete crisp details!     

Oh well, it Fibr is really a person, I will marry it! It truly fits the phrase "against all odds!" 

Aside from the things I've mentioned, Fibr, Home’s most powerful broadband, allows you to seamlessly and simultaneously experience the following:

1. Browsing of multiple websites

2. Stream hundreds blockbuster movies on-demand from Clickplay

3. Watch Cignal Digital TV Channels

4. Available now in over 800 fiber-powered villages nationwide

And of course, you can visit www.pldthome.com or call 101-FIBR (3427) for more details.
