Give The Gift with Meaningful Connections: Globe AT HOME 5G WiFi

The holidays are here and if you haven't thought about what to give to that special someone and or family, I think I've got the coolest gadget you could set your eyes on especially if you're into meaningful connections. 

Globe AT HOME 5G WiFi was just recently launched in the country. If you're looking for internet connection with 5G speeds, this certainly would be something you would love to have when family or friends are not around. Sending messages, hearing their voice, or simply seeing them on video would certainly make you happy, and distance between you feel quite shorter. The new Globe AT HOME 5G WiFi modems is different because it's got a display showing your signal strength, smart support which you would be able to do if trouble happens. It doesn't need wires to connect to it, and being wireless is so convenient for guests, visitors, students and even family. It looks so modern too, and it'll fit right in on your house's interiors if you are a little conscious about design. I know, sometimes gadgets take a lot of space and become an eyesore, but this modem is slim and quite nice looking. 

Easy Connections

If you're the type that always entertain a lot of guests in the house, you can have the WiFi connection shared just by showing them a QR code directly from the LCD screen of the modem. You need not blurt out your passwords to strangers, so you have control over your network. Best thing about it is that Globe is so confident about it that are offering this for a week risk free, so if you're not satisfied with how it performs (with the 5G WiFi), you can return it and get a refund (in good condition of course!). They are also in a very giving mood so during the holidays they have a Php 899 rate for 250GB which you can use for 30 days. 

According to the Vice President and Head of Brand Management for Globe AT HOME Ms. Abigail Cardino, this is designed for customers varying needs and their lifestyle. If you are at work or simply doing things at home, you can use the new 5G WiFi Modem for work and play. You can avail of it via globe.com.ph, make the holidays become an event where you don't have to worry about internet connection,  but just the meaningful connections you have with your loved ones. Wouldn't you want that for the holidays?!

Times are tough for films this year but they're raring to have this shown during the holidays. This is the opportune time to do it because this film was delayed because of pandemic restrictions, it took them over 3 years to finish it. It's a tale of 5 men from different walks of life, all of whom would be testing the bonds of friendship, and camaraderie. Have you ever heard of "friends being family you choose?", that's exactly how this one goes, but there's more to their individual struggles that will be told in the film.

Check out what happened during the press conference last week:

 

Seasoned actresses Katya Santos and Irma Adlawan will also be joining the cast. Anya Aguilar will play the girlfriend of Albie Casino in the film.

Enzo says "My character is a little artsy, but always end up with the wrong women, like some who are married, and struggled finding out what relationships are and if it does make him happy."

Royce says "I play Lito in the film. He is a hard worker, a call center agent, and does every odd job imaginable just to put food on the table."

Albie adds "I play the character of Bret, who's a waiter, a man who's going through life and survive daily struggles. His life is going to change once that he finds out that he has to take care of a baby, who's mom left behind."

Lharby plays Mario, a call center agent, who's a man's man. He takes care more of his peers rather than just himself. He doesn't go out much, and just stays at home after work. He also contributes for the expenses of his family, doing his best to help his papis all the time.

Aaron Concepcion plays Roy, a farmer, someone from the province who wanted to just help his family. There will be a twist on his professional career, which will affect not just his friends, but his family too.

Life may have been very complicated for these 5 guys, but it would be nice to see how the dynamics of their friendship would solve their problems, how one would be able to help one another or break down in shambles when you need them most. I hope this gives a glimpse on the lives of Filipino guys that are not toxic, and puts a lot of importance on their peers, to hopefully help each other out in times of trouble.

This will really be a huge challenge for production, and the cast to bring this message across. I pray they get noticed for awards as this has got a solid concept and story. This is also dedicated to the film's producer Shandii Bacolod who passed away a day before the shoot was done. This is also directed by Dr. Alvin Yapan. She made remarkable work especially for this project because she believed in the material, the cast too. Again, if you would like to see a feel good Filipino barkada film, give CALL ME PAPI a visit on theaters this coming December 7th. Bring your friends!

Experience Stress Free Life with GCASH

I have always wondered why a lot of people still don't delve into using online transactions. It's actually very convenient and if you ask me, we've got a lot of options now that banks and even corporations started to come out with apps that could do the job what normal bank visits would do. I mean, I've been to my home bank and spent a little more than 2 hours just to deposit money, imagine the things I could have done with that amount of time, which is why I tell my friends the same thing.

In exemplar, my friend has an online business selling mens accessories, watches and shirts. It was a small business back then but they did start getting more than the usual activities when they got word of mouth joining several bazaars and they had to hire people so they could cope up with the demand. After several years of doing this, she didn't have time anymore to go out, have fun, or enjoy the fruits of her labor because she had to do all the accounting work even if it wasn't something she finished college for. She had to endure the same things as I did including lining up to pay for SSS, Pagibig Fund for her employees and include a lot of bills and taking money in and out of the bank. It was a mouthful to say but just imagine how stressed she was because she didn't know several apps could do it, which is why I suggested she lived a little and give GCASH a try. The next month, she didn't have to pay her Meralco, Water or PLDT bill in three different locations anymore, she tied up her BPI account and got money she sees the need to. Then when it came to her employer obligations, she didn't have to lineup anymore because SSS and Pagibig was accessible. She even swears payments were coming in smoothly since it's now possible to transfer funds using the app.

We even had more time to hang out and do a small party for her kid. She thanked me in the sidelines but reminded me that I have to pay half the bill, and GCASH even had that hahaha! She could have gotten me a treat but no, I had to pay in the end LOL! Oh yeah, she is that kind of a friend! Haha!

She thanked me for GCASH though, and that was enough. She paid for my coffee later in the evening, I was thankful at least, she got her life back. No more lines, no more stress, I guess that counts.
