So, here’s the thing. I’m always out and about. Some days it’s work, sometimes errands, sometimes just wandering around. Whatever it is, I like to keep a little kit of tech and essentials with me so I don’t feel stuck or unprepared. Everything lives in my Cabin Zero FLAPJACK 4L Navy bag. It’s compact but, surprisingly, it swallows up a lot more than it looks like it should.
The Bag: Cabin Zero FLAPJACK 4L Navy
This slingbag is lightweight and pretty minimal. The 4L space is just right, enough for my stuff but not bulky. The navy shade gives off that lowkey vibe, nothing too loud. I also love how durable it feels and the straps don’t dig into my shoulders even if I carry it all day.
Charging Essentials
Can’t survive without power, period. My little charging setup includes:
- Anker 45W USB-C Charger Block: Small but mighty, fast charges all my devices.
- Charging Cords:
- Apple Braided Type-C to Type-C. Solid, reliable.
- Belkin Type-C to Lightning. For my iPhone and AirPods, I’d be doomed without it.
Wearable Tech: Apple Watch Series 5 44mm
Yep, it’s an old model, but my Apple Watch Series 5 44mm is still going strong. I’ve got it tucked inside a Spigen Rugged Armor Pro Black Case so I don’t stress about scratches or bumps. Sure, it doesn’t have all the fancy tricks of the newer watches, but it still tracks my steps, buzzes me with notifications, and lets me set quick timers or reminders without even touching my phone. It may be aging, but it’s trusty, reliable, and I’ll probably keep using it until it finally gives up on me.
Audio: Apple Airpods Pro (1st gen)
These are a lifesaver. Calls, Spotify, podcasts, or just blocking noisy jeepneys, they do it all. The noise cancelation and transparency modes still amaze me, and honestly, sound quality is more than good enough while on the move.
Connectivity: Huawei 5G Portable Pocket WiFi (4000mAh)
WiFi is life. Especially when I’m working remotely or traveling. This little Huawei 5G pocket WiFi with its 4000mAh battery has saved me countless times. Reliable, speedy internet and small enough to slip in my bag without noticing it.
Vision: Sunnies PH Frame with Yes Optical Prescription
These are my daily glasses. Sunnies frames keep it stylish, and with the prescription from Yes Optical, I can see clearly without squinting all day. Function and fashion rolled into one.
Backup Power: Belkin Portable Power Bank 10000mAh
This one’s my backup buddy. When outlets are rare, this Belkin power bank takes over. Slim, light, and it charges my phone more than once. Super handy for long days.
Small Essentials
- Oxygen Black Zipper Coin Purse: Keeps coins, small bills, and random bits in place. No mess.
- Police Bifold Wallet with Camouflage Design: Holds my cards, ID, cash. It’s slim but with a bit of personality thanks to that camo print.
The Star of the Show: iPhone 13 Mini Blue
This is basically the command center. Small enough to use with one hand but powerful enough for everything. Emails, socials, quick photos, editing on the fly, it does it all. The blue color also pops nicely. And with my charger and power bank around, it never dies on me.
Final Thoughts
Ultimately, my daily carry combines convenience, style, and functionality. My iPhone, Apple Watch, AirPods, and Huawei pocket WiFi keep me connected, and the Cabin Zero bag connects everything. My wallet and glasses round out the list, and my charging system ensures that I never run out of juice.
That’s my everyday carry. What about you? What’s that one gadget or item you can’t leave the house without?
