The holidays are coming and I haven't even had coffee yet so when I went to Romulo Cafe in Quezon City I was only expecting brunch and the usual. I was just about to have a salad, a few servings of cola and cake but I wasn't expecting this to happen.

Suddenly, Jasmine Curtis came in and grabbed the microphone surprising everyone in the venue. She was gorgeous, simple but you can see how she wanted to tell us something about Smart's latest and grandest promo yet!

I also saw the viral videos when Jasmine went to the University belt and just gave away a brand new phone to unsuspecting students, when they got the surprise of their lives, she went ahead and announced everybody else on that store and restaurant will have their own gadget too getting screams and jeering from unsuspecting people who was just there to eat a bowl of noodle or be with their friends!

It's All About Survival!

Photo credits to Rodel of www.nognoginthecity.com

We had a great day of adventure down south together with Team Suspects this weekend and boy it was one for the books! We do spend quite some time with these folks in events but unfortunately we ended up in different teams and be with different people which is something we're really not comfortable with. We're that clingy and if you think about it, this is sort of out of our comfort zone. We did wall climbing, rappelling and a full obstacle course battling it out with different people. Aside from camaraderie, it was a way to have us cohesively work on our own little battles. It's much like the rules of survival as accorded by Bob Parsons Godaddy's Lifehack which includes going out of our comfort zones, not giving up, reasons to be encouraged, moving forward and a whole lot more. Just like him, going through these hardships made us realize about the perks of having a common bond with your brethren. We also learned about the fruits of cooperation, having solidarity and the effects of boosting team morale.

We're not the most athletic bunch, nor do we have the perfect chiseled physique to begin with. We didn't even know we were going through these hardships but we were optimistic about all the challenges they prepared for us. The good people from Pioneer also had us covered with Travel Buddy insurance via their Insure shop online so we're good for 30 days traveling on an adventure here or abroad should anything happen. We also had professional riggers and people from the camp to also help us feel secure with all our gear. Some other bloggers who were seasoned climbers also shared their expertise, giving us a view of what we were about to embark in. Everyone was both scared and excited if there's a term to define that feeling while most of us just had the urge to survive this ordeal. We all cheered for each other, found ourselves talking with each other even if we were once strangers. 

While it was a competition and we knew everyone was going through a lot, we began giving each other tips how to finish a task - and that built trust and confidence. There were cuts and bruises, but we finished them one by one. We started conquering our fears and began enjoying what was supposedly frightening in the beginning. It was a different case of accomplishment because we were doing it all as a team. It didn't even bother us we were wearing different colors because once we sat down for lunch, cheering each other for the tasks, it felt we were cheering for friends and not because we had to, but we wanted to. Yes, it's a tough life and yes it's all about survival. The difference is, we survived together. That marks camaraderie at its highest form, which hopefully would also be applicable in business when we all go back to our offices and see each other, in a good different way. 

Thank god for this day and the people we spent it with. We'll surely take the things we learned from camp in our lives and make it better.

Tom Rodriguez and Carla Abellana for No Boyfriend Since Birth

This world is full of love... and when a woman thinks she's meant for one man, it'll be very hard to take that away from her. In her heart, in her mind, he's the only one... the man of her dreams. This is exactly what happened with Carla Abellana's character opposite Tom Rodriguez in the Regal Films project called "No Boyfriend Since Birth". They were highschool sweethearts, this seemed to her like a second wind. What do you think would happen if a woman with better disposition, more courageous and very determined demeanor suddenly had the chance to tell that man how she feels? If she wanted more than a business partnership, if she wanted it to happen... will this story of love finally start?

Here's a rundown on what happened during the grand press conference of NBSB including Direk Joey Reyes' synopsis of the story and interview with the cast Mike Tan, Bangs Garcia, Carla Abellana and Tom Rodriguez.

ASUS Challenges You to Unfold Your New Incredible Story

This quarter looks so promising for ASUS as they got new, more powerful, aesthetically superior and efficient gaming laptops, notebooks and computers launched at Valkyrie in BGC. Aside from honoring their top of the line hardware, they invited their best authorized sellers and gave them recognition plus had them witness the unveiling of these really cool machines last night.   

Check out the highlights of the event last night in this HD video:

ASUS : UNFOLD YOUR NEW INCREDIBLE STORY by kumagcow

ASUS remains the number 1 brand in Southeast Asia, number 3 in terms of Notebook sales in the Philippines. Mr. Calum Chisolm the GM of Intel Philippines says they also will be including the best intel chips on the new line of notebooks that ASUS is releasing in the market. I specifically like the ASUS ROG rigs that they have which is perfect for gamers like the model ASUS ROG G752 that's got superior graphics, with an Armor Titanium and Plasma Copper finish that would make Iron Man envy the thing when you hold it. Bandwidth management on it would make your gaming experience even better (in the hopes of no lags and give your line more resources), unless it's the problem on your connection that is. It also comes with a gaming headset and it's own bag. You might also get interested with the ROG G501 which has almost the same performance as the latter, with almost the same specs though. Almost a Php 20K difference though as the G752 is around Php 79,995 just like the G501. If you're in the hunt for gaming gear, these guys know what they are talking about. 

Another thing to note is the ASUS ZEN AiO. It's like an iMac, but it's not and is designed to be a connected hub for all your ASUS devices. You can backup over the network without the need of cords as it's all wireless. It's also got a 4K UHD display, so photos were really stunning during the preview earlier. Let's just say I was drooling during this time and if I had something on my wishlist this Christmas, that would be it. It's pretty steep at Php 109,995. They've got more up their sleeves so make sure you follow them on Facebook and Instagram which are both updated.
