The Nokia Lumia 720 Unboxing and Review

Hi guys! This is my first attempt at making a video review for a gadget and I think I did a pretty good job at it (hey be nice! LOL). Thanks to the great people at Nokia Headquarters, Nokia Philippines and Fuentes Manila for this unit.

Sorry about the audio in the beginning of the video, I'll probably do a better thing with that soon! :)

The Nokia Lumia 720 rocks! It's cheaper than other Windows OS phones too. If you are looking for bang for the buck quality in a handset, this is the one that you should get! Thanks and watch out for more reviews soon!

Jobstreet.com x POEA Anti-Illegal Recruitment Campaign

Jobstreet.com and the POEA is now hand in hand in launching an Anti-Illegal Recruitment campaign to rid the country of these unscrupulous individuals and entities that prey on soon to be overseas Filipino workers. The MOA was signed at the Blas Ople Building in Ortigas, Pasig City. It is part of the agency's continuing preventive measure in streamlining a more efficient and strict renewal for recognized agencies. They also offer free legal services to victims if in case they fall victim to these agencies. They also are shaping up measures that would be able to get them to enforce stricter penalties to violators more today. 

They also are continuing to furnish trainings and overseas worker education for the benefit of the Filipino workers in order to make them well informed once they step into foreign soil. It is also being added as a requirement for all jobs. They also have some new requirements to make sure that each company that will be in their database are all legitimate. It's one way of making sure you won't be victimized by illegal recruiters which this campaign is gunning for.

POEA also just launched the Balik Manggagawa Program to schedule and secure appointments for OEC's so you don't have to line up with the crowd. It's quite similar to DFA's appointment system. It's available at POEA.GOV.PH

Sarah Jessica Parker Opens The SM Store Aura!

SM Aura just opened its doors to the public and it has gained quite a number of following in the past few days. I am still in disbelief that I was right in front of an A lister, a fashion icon, a lovely lady. Yes, I'm talking about Sarah Jessica Parker. Thanks to SM Aura Premier Management and The SM Store who got us first dibs in this event. This is a life changing moment for me and thousands of other celebrities, VIP's and ordinary Filipinos. I'll stop and let you take a look at what happened that evening.

I arrived a bit late because of traffic going to the venue. Everyone was so excited to be in SM Aura Premier and this lady who just happen to be one of my favorite stars in Hollywood is opening the mall. I am not worthy. I already saw her coming in but due to the multitude of press and VIP's trying to get a glimpse of her, I only could see her using this TV screen. A lot were put up around the mall, but I wasn't going to just stand there and shoot the TV screen right? I had to go near so I rushed to the front and tried to get photos while she was roaming around the mall.

You are seeing the crowd in front of the stage where they introduced Sarah Jessica Parker. As you can see, it was really impossible for me to get a shot of her with this in place. Then SJP had to roam around the department store, she was hounded by reporters and onlookers. I had to follow suit and maybe see if I can get a clear one at least.

As you can see I was failing miserably on taking a clear shot. That meant I had to skip and hop with 4 people in front of me. I could only get some shots of her hair. It was funny because I had to chase her in several floors, but alas I never got a clear shot. Then when she was whisked to a private room, I went to the press conference area and secured a seat. I stood my ground there.

Freeway x Master Composer, Conductor and Teacher Lucio San Pedro

It was another exciting evening. Another glorious time to gather at The Row in Glorietta because one of the most trusted brands in the country "FREEWAY" is launching another collection to pay homage to a National Artist Senor Lucio San Pedro. 

The genius composer behind the famous "Ugoy ng Duyan" and many other Filipino classics. You'll be shocked and awed by his credentials since he also took advanced classes in the Netherlands, Gianini and the world famous Juilliard. His passion was always at home and with the things he did for Angono and their choirs, music groups and individuals was unsurpassed because he felt his hometown should be the first ones to play his creations. A noble gesture above anything else.

The event was hosted by one of my favorite singers, Rachel Alejandro. She also sang a few songs since she did few stints in Aawitan Kita a few years back. Remember that? :)

There was also a choir from his hometown who also sang some tunes that mesmerized everyone who passed by the event. It was truly nostalgic.Lucio San Pedro wanted these guys and those from his place to sing his masterpieces. He made extra effort to actually do that.

Senor Lucio San Pedro's relatives were also there, telling us a story or two about who he was as a person. They also had some anecdotes about how he wanted his music to affect the Filipino people, and his hometown too.

Freeway also introduced the winners of their design contest and I was really impressed by their entries. 

It was really something world class! Now you have the chance to get this on their stores because it's on sale this school season. A LOT of students were already buying this so make sure you get one for yourself. It's highly recommended!

I saw the pieces that they have for the Lucio San Pedro collection. Take a look at this!

I am really impressed by their intricate designs. Their interpretation of his work into these pieces was something that could level artists too. I bet they made sure it represented him well and truly, it did. For those who want these clothes and accessories, they are all available in Freeway boutiques and The Row establishments nationwide! Make sure you grab one while it's hot!
