Sun Cellular Gives More Good Choices with TRINET 300 and UTT30

I miss Angel Locsin. I never got the chance to interview her lately. I bet she's pretty busy with the Darna comeback slated this year. Anyway, it's pretty good to see her now in Smart and Sun Cellular ads like these that tell us great news how to save a lot with their plans.

Take a look at this TRINET300 for example. You can send unlimited texts to Sun, Smart and TNT numbers, 5 hours of calls, unlimited Facebook access that's valid for 30 days. To avail of this, just text TRINET300 to 247. Or if you prefer a shorter period of time, you can do the UNLI TRIO 30 so you can get unlimited texts to Sun, Smart and TNT numbers, 30 minutes of calls to the same networks, unlimited Facebook access that's valid for 3 whole days. You can opt for this by texting UTT30 to 247 as well. If you want to check it out, you can visit SUN's website here.

Now it's even easier to save a buck or two for the good choice in network services, of course it's Sun Cellular!

How to be Smart During Pope Francis' Visit

It was a sight to behold when Pope Francis arrived in the Philippines. From the moment the plane landed, to the short peek at the plane's window, to the cute wind that blew his cap and the kids dancing on the airbase and the fast Pope Mobile bringing him into the Papal Nunciature (or if Noli can actually pronounce that). Filipinos, young and old all lined up the streets to see Lolo Kiko in the flesh without any hitches, and all we need to do in the coming days is to be extra ready when it comes to ourselves, our gadgets and emergencies. Crowds like these definitely calls for it.    

Safety

If it's okay not to bring kids to the occasion, try not to. A crowd would be a nightmare if you don't have enough people to take care of the kids. I got lost in a shopping mall once, it was just good that I was trained quite at an early age to look for guards or police in case I did get lost. It was scary for me back then so imagine how it would feel for your kids today. I don't want to scare you. If you are still going, make sure you have enough medicine, emergency kits, bring ID for everyone, enough water and food if you are planning to stay in the lines a long time. Plan ahead and look for comfort rooms, parking and again, don't lose the kids.

Charge your mobile phones

Do not go out of your house without charging your gadgets, phones, power banks and make sure it'll last you the whole day. Turn off data or put it on Airplane Mode if not needed. Use it when necessary, like meeting people, telling your location, calling or texting people you're with so they too get updated. 

Download Useful Apps and Maps

If you haven't used WAZE, now is the right time to do so. It can get you to the places faster, better, and you can save locations too. You can also download Google Maps for obvious reasons, then make some of it available offline so that when the time comes you lose internet, you don't have to worry. You can download the Waze app on Google Play Store, Apple App Store and Windows Phone Store for FREE if you are a Smart, TNT and Sun Cellular subscriber. Some Apps like Waze as well as a couple of websites can be used for free with Smart's EXTENDED Free Internet promo. All you gotta do is text FREE to 9999. You can also text DEARPOPE to the same number and have FREE Twitter service from January 15-19, 2015. Isn't that amazing?

If you're a more safety freak, you can download the Batingaw App which turns your mobile device into a flashlight, siren, compass and radio. It's free on Google Play and Apple App store. Your friends or relatives can also receive “I am safe” messages as it's one of the app's feature that you can enable with one tap on your phone.Else, you can enable the Smart Person Finder if you want to make sure to locate friends or relatives. It's available for Smart and Talk ‘N Text (TNT) subscribers but in order to use it, the person you want to locate must first allow you to locate him/her.  To ask permission, text FIND and send to 386.  They'll get your request for authorization and once you get it, just text FIND  to get their location. You must never use this on cheating boyfriends though. LOL! Oh and remember to put people on your speed dial, it helps!

Oh and it's still a few days to enjoy the company of Lolo Kiko aka Pope Francis. Head on to www.dearpopefrancis.ph while you're at it and make him a postcard will you? Tweet as well and use the hashtag #DearPopeFrancis and be part of the once in a lifetime Papal Visit. Hopefully more!

Marjorie Uy Re-Launches LivingMarjorney.com

This afternoon, I rushed to Greenwich SM North Edsa to be with some blogger friends and Marjorie Uy, author of LivingMarjorney.com. She's turning a new page and introducing a fresher, simpler website that she'll be calling Woman In Digital to replace her former one - so she'd be a but easier to remember, lovelier to campaign for seo purposes too. The rebranding comes after new Digital Marketing Agency Digital Circles will be handling her together with her husband Jonel Uy as the firm's head.

Marjorie says "This has been in the plans for quite a while now and it's just this year that it materialized. You'll see better personal, home and living, lifestyle, events and review posts from me in this new domain. This event was just a simple  thanksgiving for everyone, readers and brands who have been supporting me all these years. We'll probably venture into videos too later on as we get serious about what I enjoy most - all these years of blogging!" and I can't wait to see what's in store for her this 2015!

Congratulations Marj! Cheers to Woman In Digital!

Ciao!

Alden Richards' Birthday Build with Habitat for Humanity Philippines

It was a hot day but they all came out to play for what seems to be a very lovely birthday celebration of Alden Richards, one of GMA's most prized leading men. We went to Bistekville 1 in Payatas Quezon City to help build homes with Habitat For Humanity Philippines, a non government organization that Alden Richards is also a part of. They aim to build houses and make functional communities so residents would be able to fend for themselves and thrive as individuals, better than their economic status before they had homes. 

We started the morning with a prayer with one of Habitat for Humanity's housing recipients. Hosting the event were Arianne Bautista and Stephanie Sol

Habitat for Humanity also had their Online Champions with them joining Alden Richards on the build.

Some of the Online Champions were my friends so don't be surprised if some of them goofed around while I took photos. Ruth, Marj, Dianne, Earth and Rodel on this bit. There were also some volunteers from Ateneo who also joined in.

Alden Richards also chose to spend this day with a build so he can influence more people to join the cause. You can contact Habitat for Humanity and have your friends along. Just pay a fee, all the materials would be provided by them. (Or you can bring your own just ask how you can help!)

Alden Richards just ended his great series Illustrado which is still being replayed over at GMA News TV which is the UHF channel of the said network. that gave him rave reviews too as they felt it was something that wasn't done yet on public TV. He says the purpose of the program was really to put across Rizal's life, with his life, in his interpretation because we obviously have a lot of Rizal films and TV programs in the past. They just presented some angles, some facts that they researched that they feel is important for the public to know. During the build, Alden also felt it was a good thing to be in a cause he believes in during his birthday. He just signed during last year with them together with the Habitat for Humanity Philippines' Executives to become one of their ambassadors together with greats like Manny Pacquiao, Phil and James Younghusband and a lot more.

They were briefed first how to do the build because there were a lot of volunteers that day and they wanted to maximize the time they'll spend there.

Alden Richards suited up and prepared to clear roads filled with debris from previous builds.

Happy Birthday Alden Richards! Thanks for having us spend time with you during this build! 

It was nice to see the residents of Bistekville 1 also participate in the games, gift giving activities that Alden headed. He always wants to give back in his own little way and he thanks GMA Artist Center for arranging this event. He also thanked the kind people of Boardwalk, Zagu, Mogu Mogu, Thai Tea and Kambal Pandesal for helping them achieve their goal thay afternoon, the kids and their community had lots of fun during Alden's visit and they were so glad to have been able to see him in the flesh!

Alden Richards thanked everyone who participated in the build. He also visited a Lola who was bedridden in one of the houses in Bistekville. It was something he said that was very close to his heart.

Some of Habitat for Humanity Philippines Online Champions (like me!) were there too to help with the build. Overall, the long trip to Payatas was worth it! We didn't mind the hot weather, we loved every bit of the experience there. I hope we can see you on our next build! :)
