Happy Birthday Papa!

It's my father's birthday today! It's kinda sad that he's not here to celebrate his day with us...not sure where he is but I hope he's enjoying with his friends! :D

Si Papi, el Kapitan! :)

Despite him being miles away, I still prepared a simple dinner for my mama and bunso. I made carbonarra pasta (wala kasing pancit), garlic bread, and buttered corn for side dish. Then I ordered in some KFC chicken and fries just to add to our mini-feast.

nyom!!!

Shortly after dinner, I received a text message from my father:

"Ai tenk u po,rcvd ko chika tx mo. Ano fod luto mo? tx ko din mama.ngaUn lng mynet.Cgi kain kyo jan hapi khi wla me.Mwaaah,ingat k. lgi ksi gbi k gimik lasing."

MY FATHER IS A JEJEMON OMGNEZZZ

Experience True HD Calls with Skype

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of faceVsion Technology USA. All opinions are 100% mine.

I finally got the chance to maximize Skype during my recent Bangkok trip. As costs of international calls and messaging are still high, free services such as Skype proved to be very helpful in connecting with my loved ones and friends.

SM Fairview Cyberzone Mob Dance

I noticed that flash mob dances have become quite a popular gimik lately. I'm sure everyone remembers that certain Glee episode where our very own Jollibee had a cameo.

Hmmm...maybe the Cebu Jail Dancers somehow started the trend?

Because of its entertaining and buzz appeal, marketers utilized the potential of mob dances in effectively promoting a brand/product. A recent example would be the SM Fairview Cyberzone Launch. They used mob dance to arouse the curiosity of mall-goers and introduce their newly opened gadget/technology strip. For maximum exposure, they held it at the high foot-traffic Atrium wing.

Several bloggers were invited to witness the Cyberzone launch. Our huge thanks and congratulations to SM Fairview and sponsors Gameline, Storyland, Bacolod Chicken Inasal for the successful launch!

Manila bloggers cover the launch

Power on @ Cyberzone

A stage was setup at the foodcourt / supermarket area

Yummy snack from Bacolod Chicken Inasal

SM Cyberzone is definitely a one-stop place for all your gadget needs. It has a broad variety of concept, branded, and I.T. stores, making it a perfect venue for technology-lifestyle enthusiasts who want to keep up in the latest trends. High quality and legitimate products are to be expected from each tenants, assuring customers of their money's worth. I could attest to this because I bought my phone, desktop pc, and PSP at Cyberzone North Edsa.

Now the 15th branch, SM Fairview Cyberzone has over 30 in-line tenants and kiosk stores such as Geco Skin, I Shield, Mp3 Express, Battery Channel, Pivod, Info Maxx, among others. Free high-speed WIFI is also available in all areas so you could research for a particular brand before purchase. Great, huh?

SM Fairview Cyberzone is located at the 3rd floor of SM City Fairview, Quezon City. You may visit other branches at SM City North Edsa, SM Southmall, SM City Manila, SM City Marikina, SM Megamall, SM City Clark, SM City Cagayan de Oro, SM City Davao, SM City Cebu, SM City Naga, SM Department Store Cubao, SM City Baguio, SM City Tarlac, and SM City Bacolod.

Php100 Finds at Robinsons Galleria All Out Clearance Sale

What can you buy with Php100?

For me, it would either be:

A. 4 bottles of beer (330ml), deposit not included
B. 3 for 100 ukay-ukay items
C. 2 Pirated DVDs =p
D. 1 Cheeseburger Meal, extra large fries/drinks + extra ketchup

Limited choices + meh = my emoticons are hurt because I am poor.

So when I recently visited the Robinsons Galleria All-Out Clearance Sale 2010, I challenged myself to look for cool items priced at Php100 and below.

My first stop was Best Sellers bookstore, located at the 4th level of Galleria. Various hardbound titles on Advertising, Sales, Finance, Medicine, Parenting, etc. are being sold at up to 70% off the tag. Definitely a real bargain for readers and collectors alike.

My Php100 below finds (click on photos to zoom):

Php100 Adult Literature *wink wink*

A short walk led me to the huge Toys R Us, also located on the 4th level. I felt Christmas the minute I stepped in the store. TOYS TOYS TOYS!

Saw some cute and cheap items that are perfect for Christmas exchange gifts! Everything priced at Php100 and below :)

Newport Cinemas at Resorts World Manila Now Open

Newport Cinemas, Megaworld Corporation's latest feat, unveiled last week with a special screening of Angelina Jolie's "Salt." Housed in the luxurious Newport Mall Resorts World Manila, the new facility will allow viewers to experience luxury and entertainment at the same time.

The latest technology and unique first class service are to be expected from the four theatres:

Newport Cinemas 2 & 4 - conventional 35mm projection theatre

Newport Cinema 3 - 3D Cinema boasting of a Christie Solaria CP2230 Digital Cinema Projector

Newport Ultra Cinema 1 - 80 fully reclining seats with butler services for bottomless drinks and popcorns

Cinema 2 tickets are priced at Php200. Cinema 3D is a Php300 damage. Cinema 4 and Ultra Cinema 1 are yet to be opened.

We watched "Salt" at Cinema 2 and the place reminded me of Eastwood's 3D Cinema. The chairs have ample leg room and are really comfortable. Also, the armrest could be raised so snuggle time is doable. <3 By the way, the cinema's seating arrangement is different. Row A is at the back row, near the entrance/exit. We were seated at Row M, just 2 rows away from the screen. We felt like Angeline Jolie will pop right out of the screen...but not in a good way. Just a tip: make sure to double check your seat reservations if you don't want headaches halfway through the movie.

Anyway, below are some photos from the event. Huge thanks to Megaworld Corporation and Azrael for the invite!
