Why we like Oakley X-Metals

Oakley Juliet

Originally released sometime in 1999, The Oakley Juliets are now discontinued and have developed a good following among oakley X-metal fans. These glasses are solidly built, have a very nice fit and provide very good optics, they were famously featured in the movie X-Men wherein they were worn by Cyclops.

Oakley X-Squared

Next up is the Oakley X-Squared, originally released in the Early 2000s, As part of the Xmetal line they are unique as they have a "squared" look deviating from the normally curvy Xmetal glasses like the Romeo and Juliet. They are my daily wears for now due to their excellent fit and stylish looks.

Xmetal Coin

Collectors also value complete packages of these Xmetals due to the inclusion of Xmetal coins together with the glasses, this can be traded with other coins and can drive the total package value of the glasses if they are all intact together with the original packaging and paperwork.

Its not too late to start with this hobby, all you need is a good mix of time and patience as this items can be quite tricky to acquire. Good Luck and enjoy your Xmetal Hunt! 

My Latest Oakley Purchases 2014

Oakley Frogskins VR46

These are Limited Edition Oakley Frogskins which are promoted by Top Motorcycle Rider Valentino Rossi, hence the VR46 Branding on these. It comes in a polished black frame with fire iridium lens, together with a unique multicolor Oakley logo on the temples. The Frogskins were first marketed during the 1980s but are now on a strong comeback and are becoming a strong alternative to Ray-Ban's Wayfarers. Upon wearing this pair one will instantly notice how light these are due to the use of O-matter on the frames.

Oakley Garage Rock

The Garage Rock is heavily influenced by the 60's rock era and features design cues such as metal temples that areobviously patterned from classic electric guitars. I really like the Matte Black frame and the Bronze lenses on these that give off a very old school rocker vibe.

Oakley Jupiter Squared

The Jupiter Squared like the Frogskins and Garage Rock also comes from the Lifestyle line of Oakley, what sets this pair apart is the use of rubber on the frame and some design cues on the temple area meant to resemble a pocket Knife, I got the Jupiter Squared in a polished black frame and Jade green lens configuration since it is very attractive:

Globe Tattoo 4G Mobile WiFI Review

This is Globe Tattoo's latest 4G Mobile wifi device which currently got a price drop from P2,500 to P1,995. It is a rebranded Huawei e5220s which supports advertised speeds of up to 7.2Mbps. the device can handle 10 devices at a time when it is used as an access point giving an advantage compared to previous models. 

 The sim card slot is located at the back of the device beneath the battery which is a 3.7V 1150mAh Li-Ion Battery.

Over-all i am getting very good speeds with this device with my postpaid sim, but one thing that bothers me is that it doesnt work with multi-cut or combination sim cards which ironically globe has bundled with this device.

Looks: 8/10 cute but the white color will be easily stained despite the matte finish.
Functionality: 6/10 decent speed but does not work with dual-cut sims.
Price: 7/10 it could have been more affordable
Over-all: 7/10 I really like how it looks, but the lack of dualcut sim functionality turns me off.

THis device is available in all Globe Business centers in the Philippines.
