The New Glee Cast in the Philippines and Coke Mismo!

Hollywood seems to be just around the corner because stars have been coming to Manila like clockwork. Just recently, Coca Cola launched their new beverage size called COKE MISMO and together with that, they got Filipino celebrities and some of the guys and gals from GLEE. Yes you read that right, they are here live in the flesh!

Hosting the press conference was Iya Villania. Then she introduced them one by one!

Jacob Artist aka Jake Puckerman was here. Oh you bet there were more!

Gorgeous blonde bombshell and cheerleader Becca Tobin who's got deadly legs! I love her!

Next Rachelle Berry to be Melissa Benoist, classy and sweet just the way we like it.

Dean Geyer was also there but he was a little too quick in the front of the stage so I didn't get to take photos of him. He was also VERY good looking... Aussie on all corners but New Yorker by all means I think.

Coca Cola is extremely generous so aside from Coke ambassadors Enchong Dee, Julia Montes, Kathryn Bernardo and Joseph Marco, they brought these new Glee cast members for the launch of the new Coke MISMO which is a new bottle size from Coca Cola. For those who find the 500ml too much or the solo size too "bitin" this is the one in between. It also costs only 10 pesos with all that fizz you get from the original Coca Cola you love all these years!

They were also interviewed by Iya Villania and we had so much fun because the conversation was very casual.

I don't want to disturb you, here's a ton of photos for your viewing pleasure!

Siwon and Donghae

With all the talk about them, this made me think...

I suddenly remembered the time when they were here for Bench.

Do you still remember this?




It brings back memories no? :)

Wyeth Nutrition x Synergia Foundation; Nurture, Inspire and Give!

I am stoked to tell you about the things I did the last week and this one's touched my heart in so many ways. You know there are private corporations that help government agencies and NGO's too. I arrived at Greenbelt 5 and found these cute kids from local Bagong Tanyag Elementary school. As a first salvo, they turned these kids into superstars by having them sing in a chorus! It was atrocious! It was very cute!

Wyeth Nutrition and Synergia Foundation launched Nurture.Inspire.Give. It's a huge campaign for the benefit of underprivileged youth. These institutions believe that this simple but ingenious way will make sure that they would be able to provide thousands of notebooks to less fortunate kids throughout the country.

The notebooks are actually also made with artwork done by kids themselves. Allie Arroyo, Antonio Tordesilias and Marco Flores. These kids are all accomplished in the field and they are sharing these designs to promote literacy, have them be creative and value education as a whole. It's a noble gesture and Richard Arboleda - Wyeth Philippines' Director of Communications says "A simple notebook can represent someone's canvas for the future." I totally agree!

This event wasn't just about pretty pictures or paintings. It's all about helping these kids get a better future. Now how do you get to help? That's easy! Any purchase of Aqiva (900g), Progress Pre-school Gold (900g and 1.6Kg), Bonakid Choco Boost (800g), Bonakid Pre-schoool (900g, 1.2Kg and 1.6Kg), Enercal Plus (900g) or ProMama (900g) will get you a limited edition notebook for yourself and a scratch card with it. It's got a promo code which you can send through SMS so a child would be able to receive his/her own notebook and you winning something too. If 50,000 people joined, that would mean 50,000 notebooks for these kids too. You might also win 20K worth of GC's or gift packs worth 5K to 50 raffle winners on July 17 and August 16 which means 100 in total will be given away. Isn't that cool? Private companies, NGO's and government agencies are making sure that they will be able to nurture generation after generations of Filipinos nationwide!

Dell Philippines launches Thin, Sleek and Professional Vostro 5460 Laptop

A few days ago I was invited to the launch of Dell's latest laptop model the Dell Vostro 5460. It's a sleek very refined piece of hardware that screams power when scrutinized closely. It's specs alone would impress any ultrabook lover and for what its worth, the performance is also as solid as any computer that can even do heavy gaming because it's not your ordinary 14 inch portable hardware.

Mind you while this was being introduced and throughout the whole discussion about the Dell Vostro 5460 he was actually carrying it around the whole time. It's only 1.54 Kgs and one of the thinnest in its class at 19mm. It was intended for business use but is now going to be released in a consumer sector to give Philippine consumers a more powerful option other than the others that carry small specs. Dell also mentioned that this will be included in their line of laptops , PC's and ultrabooks that will be covered by the Dell Next Business Day On-Site Service. No other brand actually does that other than Dell worldwide!

For its processor, they are gearing towards Intel i3 and i5. They also come with packaged OS such as Windows 8 Home Starter 64bit, Home Basic 64bit, Home Premium 64bit or Windows 7 Professional with XP mode installed and the option of the 64bit version of Linux Ubuntu  already installed. Up to 6GB of memory supported because of its 1600MHz DDR3 SoDIMM and Intel Mobile HM77 chipset. The impressive Video Card that is perfect even or gaming carries Intel HD Graphics 3000 (GT2) and a 1GB nVidia GeForce GT630M.The 14 inch HiDef 1366x768 720p display would be the envy of your friends in the office or at home. Pretty cool for a small machine huh?

It only carries a 3 cell Lithium Ion battery at 48 - 50WHr at 65 Watts, Slim or 90 Watt Slim. It's the reason why the laptop only packs only small amount of temperature which some ultrabooks or laptops are so problematic about. It also has an HDMI port for usual reasons. It supports Gigabit Ethernet network rates plus b/g/n standard wireless connectivity.

For those who want to experience the best that Dell has to offer in this reasonably priced laptop computer line, you should be informed that it  comes in "Standard or Ultrabook" configurations. I suggest you take your time to know Dell Vostro 5460 because it's totally worth it!
