Watch Over Your Family and Live a #SmartLife

That moment you forgot something at home!

Have you ever had that time when you suddenly forgot something at home? You left the faucet open, you left the iron on, you didn't leave food for your dogs, or just about anything you might not be sure but don't have the time to check it. You feel a little old all of a sudden because it's becoming a regular thing and you feel a little bothered because most of the time, you're just unsure.

Aside from that, when you're out of the house, do you get nervous about the people at home? Well, you're not alone. There are countless Filipinos or people around the world who are in the same predicament as you. Even I feel that way, so I am really considering installing the new PLDT Home FamCam. I've seen CCTV prices lately and they're not cheap, plus they're also not available for viewing from the Internet unlike this. I've installed countless Internet cameras for international companies, branded and all but they cost an arm and a leg. If you're just a home user, you don't have a business, that's really not a practical choice. Now, you can get this all with a 2 year warranty and 24/7 technical support. You would need to be on Plan 1299 up so you can get bandwidth required by the technology and just run a CD (oh yes step by step!) to install it on your network or if you don't have a drive, just download it off their website. Another convenient feature is it being wireless, I mean how can you install things if you have to tear down several walls and open up the ceiling just for this right? This one can be installed in a place in your house that can cover almost anywhere and you can remotely view it via browser or software installed on PC/Laptop or mobile.

Yes, they're also mobile because Smart partnered with PLDT so you can watch those precious moments, the people at home with ease as long as you're connected with the biggest network. Even if you're away, you can watch your family remotely so you don't have to physically be there just to be sure about the things you left at home. Isn't that convenient? Aside from that, they can just put in the price staggered at 99 (Basic FamCam)  or 499 (Advanced FamCam) pesos a month instead of shelling out the whole price. That's exactly how you want your house to be, you can see those things you forgot at home and be safe at the same time. That's peace of mind everywhere! and that's how you life a #SmartLife!

Saved in Traffic with Meals and Shopping by #SmartLife

Last night was a little stressful for me. I got trapped right in the middle of Ortigas because of Fake Friday aka second coming of carmageddon in Edsa. There were tons of commuters on the street and I couldn't even get a cab at that hour. I couldn't call people at home and force them to fetch me in the middle of all that crazy traffic. I was able to go home later on using UBER, had a fancy ride as well. When I was in the mall I didn't have that much cash with me and I don't really carry much on purpose for safety reasons. Good thing I had my phone around, it made things very easy.

UBER got me home in minutes, but when I was waiting in Shangrila, Megamall and Robinsons Galleria, I had time to shop and have dinner first so I wouldn't lose my mind. My phone is my life, just what the rest of you secretly declare when no one's around LOL. So when the need came to use my card, I was glad that I just had to wave my phone at any McDonalds branch in Megmall. It felt like some entity was taking care of me, and I got dinner by just tapping my phone in their Visa PayWave machine. Isn't that just convenient?

If you haven't heard of Charge 2 Phone, you're living under a rock. The technology seemed to have been in the Philippines since January. Smart and Sun Cellular just made it very convenient for us to live life by partnering with Citi Philippines and Voyager Solutions. You can apply for the Citi Rewards Card at www.citibank.com.ph or any Smart and Sun Business Center. It's EXCLUSIVE for us who are in these awesome networks. If you're already an existing postpaid subscriber, apply for a Freedom Plan with Smart so you can get this on stickered on your phone. Yes, it's NFC Technology!

There are also a lot of other things you can do with Charge2Phone if you're shopping. You can watch movies in Megaworld Lifestyle Malls plus a lot of other merchants that are in the pipeline real soon. Promising? That's not even the word to describe this, as it could totally change the purchasing and shopping landscape real soon.

You can restrict payments on your phone for a lower amount so if it gets lost, you won't have those unscrupulous people use it. You can also have it easily blocked when you need to by calling Citi's 24 hour hotline and Smart/Sun. You can still use the Citi Rewards Card though if you're planning to purchase more than that, now that's very convenient for online shopping too. For more details, please check out their website https://charge2phone.com or http://www.smart.com.ph/smartlife. This is Convenience Everywhere that you won't probably get from other networks. Don't say I didn't tell you about it!

OLX Encourages Classifieds Lifestyle

Meann Bundallan of OLX Business Development says "A lot has changed in our services and products. OLX has improved the lives of Filipinos by buying smart through our site. We're just letting you know that we're getting a lot more of these exchanges and changes that will affect OLX users throughout the country by making smart choices today."

Rj David the Managing Director and Co-Founder says "We wanted to give you a glimpse of what  happened in OLX. After the brand change, we had our office and team in Cebu. We have around 12,000 users in that city alone which is about 50% growth. We also merged with AyosDito.ph so we can use our strenghts to make Filipino lives easier. Our sell form now is easier and faster to use. It makes things easier to sell also on the site. We also have a report tool, we receive a lot of reports so we crowdsource them and get help from the users too so it's safer now. Even if you're using your phone, it's faster now on the mobile apps and site. We also removed the feedback and that will make people buy even from new business owners. We also have paid limits, but still, we're going to have the service free. When we implemented this, ads increased tremendously. Having the paid limits, buyers contacted sellers more and they are benefiting with the limits that we put making sure the quality of the ads become better. Removing the ads also made the other sellers able to sell something even if they are new sellers, it made the playingfield level. We are continously going to reach more Filipinos now!"

Jean Magboo the Content Marketing Manager of OLX says "We are a platform that would make users smart buyers when buying and selling. We're still young in understanding online buying and we're slowly getting there. We have about 44 million users in the Philippines and only about 19 million that visit the site, we ask ourselves how do we make them try it out? We need to make a step ahead to help them so they can connect with people in the community so we are now making our own content platform called OLX Yaman. It's going to have reviews, stories, OLX news, our events and promos so you can confirm news about the company. They also have #iamOLX featuring people that we'll bring to the forefront so they're going to inspire people through their stories. We'll help our users make smarter choices by informing, educating and engaging so you can live a classified lifestyle like our successful users."

Halle Berry Stars in EXTANT Season 2 on RTL CBS Entertainment

It was a little scary in the theater when I came in as most of the people were already glued to the screen seeing Halle Berry and the actors of Extant that afternoon. They started showing the part where she was already figuring out that some of the women who were being kidnapped had one thing in common, they were all pregnant. Now I don't want to spoil the story but in a nutshell, the Earth she's in is slowly being taken over by aliens. Aside from that, they weren't the type that showed they were monsters with weird humongous powers inside. They were like ordinary people walking among the populace and there wasn't any hint that it's going to stop at all. 

It wasn't going to be easy either because people think Halle Berry's character Molly Woods was crazy, and she was even getting sexually exploited by people in the hospital. If there wasn't any consolation, she escaped and got that same guy electrocuted at first, then she got his car's windshield smashed when federal agents (including JD Richter who's going to be with her) got her from the institution. You can say everything revolves around her, very pivotal, and with the understanding that we could get taken over by an alien life form that's also able to procreate with humans. If you haven't seen this yet, maybe the name Steven Spielberg would ring a bell and may well be worth your time to watch on RTL CBS Entertainment which is available on cable networks in the Philippines. If your cable operator isn't giving you the channel, you might as well request for it. 

This is Season 2 of EXTANT, make sure you watch the episodes 9:55 PM Tuesdays on RTL CBS Entertainment.
