No more #HardToGets with SMART BRO 888

I and a few of my friends were talking about a list of our #HardToGets.

So what circumstances could qualify as a 'hard-to-get' thing?
Well, 'yung nililigawan mong matagal mo nang kalandian na hanggang ngayon di ka pa rin sinasagot, is one. 'Yung promotion na 10 years mo nang pinaghihirapan, that could count, too. Or even, 'yung hindi ka maka-connect sa WIFI ng kapitbahay dahil ayaw i-share sayo ang password, kasali yan. SO HARD TO GET 'diba?
The list could go on. Really!

Buti na lang, we can scratch off that last one from the list. A decent wifi connection need not be a 'hard-to-get' thing anymore.

Why? Because SMART BRO recently launched the best 4G Pocket Wifi offer.
Priced at     ONLY P888,     everyone can purchase a 4G Pocket wifi because it is within everybody's reach.

Not only that. Upon purchase, the pocket wifi is pre-loaded with 150MB for all day surfing valid for 30 days.

With a 4G Pocket Wifi so compact and easy to bring, you can now accomplish online activities and share connection with friends anytime, anywhere.

What's also good about this pocket wifi is that it has a speed of 12Mbps and connects up to 10 devices. Super fast, di ba? AND it's one really created for sharing.
If you don't want to, you can just use your tablet, smartphone, laptop and other more gadgets all at the same time.

But, I really suggest you share. You get good karma by sharing, you know.
Like, you can share it to your nililigawan or your boss. Malay mo, pati si nililigawan at ang promotion, hindi na hard to get.

If you plan to get the #SmartBro888 4G Pocket Wifi, I suggest you buy it now. The P888 promo is for a limited time only. The offer will end on JUNE 30, 2016. But fret not, you can actually reserve/buy it directly from the SMART ONLINE STORE. Just visit, http://smrt.ph/pwifi888 .

And if you have already availed of the offer, I suggest you pair it with SurfMax85- http://smrt.ph/brosurfmax-85. It's the perfect tandem. You can surf all day using the 4G pocket wifi upto 800MB/day, valid for 2days.

It's SMART BRO's hottest deal yet!

Check also hashtags #SmartBro888 and #HardToGets on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter to see other's hart-to-get stories.
If you've had enough of that, come back to this page and leave some love and comments below.
Let me know if you have already grabbed the offer so we can talk about stuffs that ARE now easy-to-get! *wink*

PayMaya now in Davao!


Shopping online has now been made easier!

PayMaya is the newest mobile app to arrive in the world of digital payments. With PayMaya, you can secure online shopping without a credit card. You just have to key in you virtual Visa card details, and voila, transaction completed! It's so easy and fun to use.

Trust me, I used PayMaya to purchase online baggage allowance for a Cebu Pacific flight and it worked perfectly. Basically, it works like a debit card, only that it is also a Visa card.

Digital payments made easy




To start using PayMaya, users can download the app from the Google Play Store (Android) or App Store (iOS). Once downloaded, users are just asked to key in some personal details. After verifying the user's mobile number, the reloadable instant virtual PayMaya Visa card is activated.

Once activated, the instant virtual PayMaya Visa Card with the 16-digit card number, CVV, and Expiry Date will be displayed in the app. These data are required for use in shopping online.

Instant virtual PayMaya Visa card holders can simply reload their accounts by visiting a PayMaya Load-Up Center or by transferring from a Smart money account. An in-app notification and SMS will be sent to confirm the reloading.

Currently, PayMaya reloading is available at selected Smart stores and Smart Padala Centers as well as Robinsons Business Centers. Soon, reloading will also be available at 7-Eleven convenience stores.

In the app, there is also the PayMaya Shop where users can purchase virtual goods like airtime load, call and text packages and data oackagaes. These can be 'gifted' to family and friends with a personal message for an added personal touch.

Upgrading PayMaya virtual Visa card
You can also upgrade your PayMaya and get a personalized card.



To get a PayMaya upgrade, users can request for a personalized card at any PayMaya upgrade center. In Davao, this is intially available at the Smart Jump Store in SM Lanang, with more being rolled out. The physical card can be used for ATM withdrawals and for purchases at any establishment that accepts Visa.

To upgrade a PayMaya account within the app, tap "More" and select "Upgrade". Instructions will be given to link the card to the app.

Study in Australia now!




Study in AUSTRALIA now! King’s Institute of Management and Technology Holds Grand Orientation at The Royal Mandaya Hotel, Davao City, for FREE!

Overseas educational programs and employment opportunities are very much sought after here in the Philippines. In fact, most Filipinos would prefer overseas employment rather than locally based professions, for them to develop their career, potential, and to find work that offers better opportunities. Moreover, a diploma abroad would also raise one’s value in the professional world, not just here in the Philippines, but also anywhere in the world.

However, leaving the country to live in another is quite expensive, and this is the problem that discourages most Pinoys from venturing out of the country. If you are one of these Filipinos who wish to study and work abroad, worry no more because there are programs that will help you achieve your goals.

King’s Management and Technology (KIMT) is an Australia-based school that offers vocational courses on hospitality, business and marketing courses, as well as aged care.

So what does KIMT have to offer you?

(1) Career oriented and nationally accredited courses
a) Business and Management
b) Marketing
c) Hospitality and Commercial Cookery
d) Aged Care

These courses cover both theoretical background and practical design, and also comply with the requirements of nationally endorsed training packages. It also offers quality teaching and training, and excellent facilities.

2) Affordable investment

Of course, risks have to have its benefits. Choosing to study in KIMT is not only cost-saving as compared to other Australian schools, however, the living expenses are also less costly in Brisbane as compared to other Australian cities.

3) Excellent Public Transport

New in the country? You don’t have to worry about losing your way in Australia because KIMT is located at Brisbane, the Queensland capital, where it boasts of their excellent public transportation. It’s so convenient and it will help you reach your destination easily.

4) Perfect weather

Scrap the freezing weather image forming in your mind too! Brisbane has more sunny days all year round than any other city in Australia. It has a sub-tropical climate, and best of all, winters are rarely below 20 degrees Celsius, perfect for Filipinos who grew up in warm, tropical climates.

5) Travel Destinations

What’s more, KIMT is also close to some of Australia’s sought after travel destinations! On your free days you may visit Australia’s 11 World Heritage Sites, the famous Great Barrier Reef, Gold Coast, Daintree rainforest, and so much more!

6) Feel at Home

Best of all, we will make sure you don’t get homesick at all. Filipinos always cherish relationship ties, and KIMT understands that. If you are hesitant in leaving home, worry no more because many programs in Australia exclusively cater for international students, which you will meet in the city’s grand orientation day.

KIMT indeed offers Filipinos the best opportunity to study abroad: opportunities, affordability, and convenience all at once!

Luckily, KIMT will hold an orientation this August 31, 2015, at the Royal Mandaya Hotel, from 1 pm to 5pm. The orientation will be for FREE, plus FREE consultations for admissions and the IELTS (International English Language Testing System) review. The IELTS is an English proficiency exam that is required in employment and immigration in English-speaking countries such as Australia.

So if you’re interested, hurry and reserve a slot for the orientation this August 31. Just send your name, email address, and course interest to this number: 0942 0888 702.

For example: Isabelle Mendez, isabelle21@gmail.com, Business and Management.

Davao Bloggers Acquaintance Party 2015

Last May 16, 2014, Davao Bloggers Society held its annual Acquaintance Party. This time, the event took place at White House Fusion Cuisine and Wine Lounge located at Camella Northpoint, JP Laurel, Davao City.



Despite being a yearly event, the DBS Acquaintance Party always have something special to offer its members.




One very special surprise was the announcement of the exclusive partnership of the Davao Bloggers Society and Smart Communications. Now, Smart will always be a part of our every activity, making the blogging community here in Davao bigger and stronger. Thank you, Smart! :)
The Exclusive Partnership of DBS and Smart.




One thing that we also, always, look forward to every year are the games, food and raffle prizes.
Here are a few photos taken during the event.

Socialization.
In this photo I was introducing the person seated in front of me. It was Romeo.


Charades.
Hi Ate Ria.*wink*

Ate Sweet, two words?

English, Sheen?
We all felt more comfortable with each other after the games. However, our team felt prouder than the other teams. Why? BECAUSE WE WON THE GUESSING GAME. Hurrah for Team Competitive!
We won! We each got a box of Krispy Kreme doughnuts and free passes to Davao Crocodile Park.



Most Punctual Awardees.
Being early has its perks. Thank you, Krispy Kreme!





Raffle.
I won a gift certificate from NCCC. Thank you NCCC!

This guy was so lucky that night that he decided to share his luck with me.
He gave me the GlamourBox he won. Thank you, Ton and Glamourbox!




... It's been a while since I've last met these people, and since the Acquaintance Party gathered us back, I took the opportunity to pose with them for a photo.

Pretty ladies. *wink*
All in all, the event was a success. Thanks to the efforts put up by our hardworking officers and  by our generous sponsors.

A big thank you to: (You can show some love by liking them on Facebook. Just click the links below.)

I take pride in being a member of this wonderful community. I've grown so much as a blogger and as a person ever since I entered DBS more than 2 years ago.


That is probably why I really enjoyed the Acquaintance Party because of the nostalgic feeling of remembering my first ever event. It was a life changing event because it led me to not only finding new friends but to finding a family, The DBS Family.


Thank you again DBS for this joyful memory!
I'm looking forward for more.~~~

In DBS, I did not find it hard to fit in. Just like family, the pieces automatically fit. ♥

Instax DIY Year2 DAVAO

A few weeks ago, the very first Instax DIY event happened here in Davao.

It took place in Robinsons, Abreeza Ayala Mall. The first thing I noticed was the event set which was so cute and artistic. It was also girly and very instagram-able. *wink*




They even have an Instax mascot during the event.



During the event, we were taught a few crafty tricks that we could try out using our instax films. We were taught to make the key chain of memories, the lamp shade lampstax, and more.

We also participated in a game where we were asked to make something crafty with the photos we took during the event. Our group, Davao Bloggers, made a cute hanger of instax photos. It was so fun that I forgot to take a picture of our work. 
Photo not mine. Courtesy of Ria Jose's instagram post which I was tagged in.

The opposing team also made an instax hanger and a cute tinker box using, of course, instax films. In the end, we tied with the other team and got ourselves a cute instax flash drive.

The Instax team also raffled a lot of surprises. Then, we  were given loot bags. yey!

PS: Instax Camera in photo is not included in the loot bag. hehe. It's mine. :)


All in all, the event was a success.

You may also check photos of the event by using the hashtags #instaxDIYYear2Davao and #teaminstaxph.

I had a lot of fun and I'm already looking forward for the next Instax event. Thank you, Team Instax! :)

PERCH Modern Kitchen + Bar

My summer vacation this year came out late. Law school was surprisingly busy and had absolutely no regard for holidays nor vacations. Hence, when I finally had my summer break, I was itching to try on new things and/or maybe try eating at new restos here in my hometown.

Luckily, a new resto opened here in Davao.



Perch Modern Kitchen + Bar just opened last April 18, 2015. They are located at the second floor of the newly opened Felcris Centrale mall.


Their rates may not be that affordable for the ordinary Juan but you may find it reasonably fair once you try out the food.


 

We were able to try all the food they had in the menu, which is really A LOT OF FOOD. So I guess if I had to write every single dish with detail, I might get hungry, leave and, well, let this post keep you hanging.. That would be tragic. lol.  So I decided to just choose among the best ones. Although I liked everything in the menu, I had a few top picks. (I apologize for the not-so-decent photos.)

For the starters, my favorite is the Panko Crusted Oyster Sisig. I also liked the El Diablo Fries, the Spicy Fingers and the Bacon Chips. Between the salted and candied bacon chips, I liked the latter better.

Panko Crusted Oyster Sisig

Candied Bacon Chips


For the Pizza section, my favorite is the Kaldereta Pizza. I also liked the Keema & Arugula Pizza.
Kaldereta Pizza
The following are also my favorites. Some I already forgot the name. :)

Grilled Salmon & Cheese Risotto

No, this is not a dessert. hehe. This is the Choriburger. :)

I forgot but I think this was the Whiskey Barbeque Chops.

Angus Basic Meatball Pasta

Osso Buco

Smoked Bacon Carbonara

Perch Rising Sun Angus Burger Steak

Angus Cheeseburger Pao

Stuffed Chicken Leg Quarter.
I know this looks funny but its actually really yummy. ;)


I really want to share to you more about the food at Perch, but I guess reading this is not as good as trying out the real thing. So I'm going to stop now and let you drool over the food, then I'll let you decide if you want to leave now, get a cab and dine at Perch.

Good thing Perch closes at 2am so you can still catch up on the last order, if you're reading this late at night. You might also want to match your meal with a few bottle of beers and enjoy it with a couple of your friends.

And if you have to ask, would I recommend Perch? Yes. I've said enough to let you all know I enjoyed the dishes. #foodgasm #foodporn

I hope you enjoyed reading my post, and I hope it was helpful.
Let me know what you think and don't hesitate to share how was your Perch experience.

'Coz mine was amazing! :)

Bigby's New Menu

Just recently, I and a few of my blogger friends tried out what Bigby's new menu had to offer. We had it over lunch at BIGBY'S ABREEZA. While there, we tried new exciting dishes which are truly delicious and... worth the calories!

It was a pig-out session! I originally wanted to have only a salad for lunch, but because all of the food were so good, I ended up having salad, pasta, steak and much more. So much for my diet... zzz. Guilty, I convinced myself it was a cheat day!

A few of  my personal favorites are the following:

1. Creole Pasta - a pasta combination of ham, chicken, sausage and shrimps in sweet and spicy red tomato sauce.
Creole - P295

2. Don Pepito Fajitas - sizzling hot mexican combination with sauteed onion and bell peppers, served with soft tortilla, cheese, salsa and cuban rice.
Don Pepito Fajitas Meaty - P550; Seafood - P499

3. Gold Medal Steak
Gold Medal Steak - P645
 4. Hillbilly Cube Toast -  cinnamon sugar-dusted bread cubes perfect with native chocolate sauce. It's so yummy I can almost finish the whole plate by myself.
Hillbilly Cube Toast - P125

For the complete menu, check out photos below.


 

 

 




Visit them now and try their new menu!

Let me know how your experience goes out.:)
