Living in the Philippines: Find it on Property24.com.ph

Monday, February 03, 2014


Selling your pre loved items has never been easy. Dominant buy and sell website in the Philippines SULIT.COM.PH has unfolded another feather to its hat as they conquer the real estate sector. It has been one of the highest in terms of traffic in sulit.com.ph and the time of partnering with one of the world's best PROPERTY24.COM.PH is but great timing. The companies are all part of the multinational Naspers Group. The company doesn't just engage in selling property but also holds all the logistics behind that as well says JP Farinha CEO of Property24 who came all the way from South Africa.



Property24.com.ph says quality scores will be given to brokers and properties, some automatically penalizing and ranking them on the site. The local site will also be customized according to general brokers needs. Although they admit that they will need data and algorithm that will make the site and its features better, they are going to work on it. Sulit.com.ph will not abandon its current posts, it will still have that together with property24's Business to consumer features while they cater to private listings verified through their current systems.


 

Steve Santos Property24.com.ph's Property Manager in the Philippines says "We see sectors growing further and the housing and real estate loans are on an uptrend. We want to concentrate on local residential properties and listings. We have sections on the site intended only for developers , design and lifestyle so we get more input from real people who rent or buy on the website. We also have mobile apps that is easy to use and connected with the sulit.com.ph."



Definitely something to look forward to and it can help pinoys get that dream place in a single click! We tried out the app and the site. It was easy to find rented properties and real estate finds in Quezon City. It was also easy to find some in other places. I guess this will be the best thing to have if we're going look for properties we can afford or dream of. Just click it!

Smart Moves By Getting SMART C+!

Sunday, February 02, 2014


It was cold a few weeks ago but today it's getting a little hot. I could tell by the sun light outside my window that it is about to be summer soon. Refreshments, they come in various shapes and sizes. We only bother to sometimes get a drink or two on the fridge without even taking a look at the label. That is pretty dangerous because you might end up either taking too much sugar or no nutrition at all.


Can we stop and #ThinkAboutYourDrink for a while? Well, there are a lot of choices out there that can pass off as a smart one like SMART C+. When I saw Slater Young on TV, he made a really strong point on why we're having just drinks when we can actually get it with the daily allowance of Vitamin C. That is smart. With this in our bodies, we won't have to worry about getting sick because I believe that prevention is better than cure. 


Smart C+ is my bottle of choice especially this season. With three great flavors like Lemon Squeeze, Orange Crush and Pomelo Grapefruit you'll get your needed 500mg of Vitamin C every day. I specifically like the Pomelo Grapefruit more because its light and not too sweet, my Dad loves the lemon squeeze (with Vitamin C content equivalent to 11 lemons!) because of its tangy and mildly sweet flavor. Mom on the other hand wants the Orance Crush more because its so good and really refreshing when its really really cold. Each serving of these bottles come with REAL fruit juice, no added preservatives, no artificial color and no artificial sweeteners. It's also 0% fat and has got no cholesterol. If that is not reason enough to get them when you play sports, bring it to school or be your choice drink when you need a break... I don't know what else is better than Oishi's SMART C+!

I already have a box full of it at home, now it's your turn to grab one in your favorite supermarkets or groceries nationwide!

GIORGIO at Portofino

Thursday, January 30, 2014


There's always something good coming out of the South and I must admit, I am missing a lot. I don't frequent this side of Manila because of its distance from Quezon City. Although yeah, the prominent villages there seems very attractive. Hectares upon hectares of land are now being developed and built with gorgeous houses like these. Do you like what you're seeing? Well, they call this GIORGIO. It's classy, breeze and very upscale. If you're looking for a new home, isn't this a valid candidate? :)



Guess who appeared when we visited the blessing of this gorgeous house in the South. No wonder, when a man makes houses... he personally takes cares of matters. That's Former Senate President Manny Villar. He even personally said hi and we did chat a bit. I felt right at home. Speaking of homes...


This is just a glimpse of what your home could look like when you live in a GIORGIO model house in Portofino. Just look at the design and see the suggested interior floor plan, you feel that each space is carefully thought about.

(photo courtesy of Portofino website and not mine)

The ground floor hosts a Living Area, your own Dining Area, a Kitchen Area, a small lanai, a functional Laundry or UtilityArea, Maids quarters with their own Toilet and Bath, a common Toilet and Bath or something that can serve like a Powder Room, a Guest Room plus a spacious 2 Car Garage. The second level has got the Master's Bedroom, dedicated Toilet and Bath (with their own bath tub and walk in closet), 2 Bedrooms, with a common Toilet and Bath plus a Big Balcony which I already am planning to have small caviar servings and glasses of champagne. :) 

 This is pretty good to have for a small family. Or perhaps if you're starting out to invest in properties, all you need to do is ask the right people. For Inquiries, you may call (+63) 917 861 3894, or their landline (+63) 922 859 7742. You can also call them US Direct by dialing (001) 818 945 8050. Capisce?

Skyscanner Philippines


We sat down with a couple of people from Skyscanner a few days ago. It was light and we had a few laughs. Well, we had a lot actually. This was like a very casual way of introducing to us Skyscanner. Have you heard of it?

If not, then let me explain how it works in lay mans terms. We travel locally and internationally now. Whenever you go to book a flight, we check each and every airline website in the Philippines and scrummage for the cheapest and most convenient flight. Now that's a little arduous right? 

 
When you go to http://www.skyscanner.com.ph/, you just put in your flight origin, destination and the date you prefer... then it will get you results of ALL the airlines on its directory and give you results arranged to your preferred filters. I went and searched one for Dublin as I plan to go there late this year. Prices ranged from 53K to 200K. It also indicated the actual airline where the ticket is booked plus the airport stopovers I'd have to take if I bought it. It's like google for trips. Isn't that a life and time saver? Sometimes, it makes no sense why we have to go through all that when we can just do it in one website. Now, its easier, better and more convenient. Skyscanner's Ms. Janet Ranola showed us how the website and system works. Best of all, Skyscanner's free and we don't have to pay them extra premium for their services. Isn't that neat? You can also check what's the best time to purchase tickets because it analyzes data from previous years. Their operations are based in Europe and they've devised a system that's both secure and fool proof so you don't have to worry about anything since booking will be done via the airline's individual websites. Isn't that neat? Now you don't have to scan and write down things because it's all in one website. You can even book hotels and cars if the need arises. Now tell me, how cool is that?! :D

 Skyscanner also announced the Philippine finalists for the Skyscanner Bloscars Travel Awards. They will be judging who comes as the best in the Philippines and battle it out with other bloggers from Asia Pacific. The winner will get to win thousands worth of travel credits with Skyscanner. They will also give away gadgets which includes a DSLR camera I heard. Now that's big. Let's see who will win that coveted prize!  

For what its worth, Skyscanner rocks! Who wouldn't like saving thousands of pesos right? :)
