The Medical City Launches "TMC Partner Link"

It's been a while since I've been to Medical City in Ortigas and the last thing I've heard about them was where some of my celebrity friends mentioned some lapses in customer service (re: Rocco Nacino's encounter with a Doctor) but it's a good thing they are constantly trying to make improvements and making it less of a hassle for patients. Last June 19, they launched a program called "TMC Partner Link" where they provides patients and partners easy and secure access to their medical records. This is actually done via the Internet, and what's great is that this is all free - NO CHARGES at all.

This new facility actually would contain the patients laboratory and radiology diagnostic results. This also will show summaries of the patient's activity after their discharge. Wherever they are, whenever they are, they can also see personal health trackers that enable them to monitor vital signs through a graphic interface. They would be able to see blood pressure, heart rate, blood sugar and weight which is fully synced on the hospital's electronic medical records, a feat that other hospitals in the country has never done yet. This system also allow doctors to monitor their patients without frequent hospital visits making the meager communication way efficient equivalent to a real deal consultation. 

Dr. Mike Muin, Health IT Head of The Medical City says that the portal also employs a strict identification verification and authentication procedure to protect sensitive medical records and personal information from unauthorized access. All data is securely stored on a repository inside the confines of The Medical City. Users who have been admitted from June 24, 2013 onwards will be offered the service as part of their standard admission procedures. They just need to visit the hospital's website http://www.themedicalcity.com. For those who have been confined earlier can easily call or email TMC’s Customer Service Department to sign up for a Partner Link account and have the same privileges as these patients.

Something good to know: HP Mobile Authentication

I own a multifunction HP printer and it has been with me for years. I only buy authentic HP cartridges but sometimes I often think about the people on the street who buy empty cartridges and probably make counterfeit versions of it. I fear that I'm probably not getting my money's worth if I buy just anywhere because chances are, I could be victimized by these unscrupulous individuals.

Good thing HP has security in place. Do you know about their HP Mobile Authentication?

Each box of these cartridges have their own QR code found on both HP Original ink and toner cartridge. These are its own security labels.

First, you need to visually check the label. These new HP Mobile Authentication labels feature a holographic image-shifting sticker other than just the QR code. Blackberry users probably have this by default. iPhone users on the other hand can probably download apps that read these things like the HP eSupplies app for iPhone available at the iTunes App Store; I've also seen some at the Google Play store.

If the cartridges/toner that you buy includes these new Mobile Authentication labels, those smartphone QR code readers I mentioned above can capture the security code.

Then you just have to simply view the response from the HP website.Obviously if it's OK, it'll show the sign on the left. If you see otherwise, then it's fake. You should definitely get your money's worth. You should report the matter to authorities or HP. It's not classy in the first place right? =)

Bench Celebrity Scents: Love Affair by Lovi Poe!

She's one of the most beautiful faces that has graced the small screen and silver screen. Coming from a lineage of gifted actors like her father, the one and only King Fernando Poe Jr., she has a lot to prove. Honing her talent and becoming one of the most sought after actresses of her time, Lovi has made her name and now has broken ground on the industry she now calls her own. She has waited so patiently, and now the time has come to finally launch her own fragrance. This is LOVE AFFAIR by Lovi Poe.

The event started with the curtains down, then this fashion editorial cum music video was shown to the public. This is a composition by the artist formerly known as Viktoria. Shown on a large video wall, it was a sight to behold! Everyone in the mall stopped to check it out... even Lovi Poe was seeing this for the first time. 

I can't wait for this to be played in stores or music channels soon!

Then when the curtains opened, Lovi Poe was in the middle donning a short skirt, tight red top and cute little cat ears.

The overall vibe of the music video and her song number was really enough to put us in the mood. It was all sexy, sultry, classy and totally Lovi Poe. Then after that, she did the next best thing and whipped out her moves too! Her backup dancers was formidable. It was tons of lifting and sexy moves, she indulged to show what she's got to the crowd!

She showed a more playful side to her personality and I've known Lovi Poe for quite some time now. It definitely feels that these are all the ingredients that make up who she is. She's fun, a real sweetheart then by a sudden costume change.... we saw the sexy and sultry part.
