The Alcatel Flash 2

Mr. Albert Wong the General Manager for Mobile Internet Group of TCL Communications sharing the milestones for Alcatel Flash.

They've been able to survive selling the Alcatel Flash online and have amassed the number 1 slot in terms of volume in Lazada. Imagine a phone with a 3.5 inch screen impressed a lot of consumers and now they launch the Flash 2 phone. They've also scrutinized the demographics seeing that most of the people who buy most of their products are men. This one according to Michael Chen quips a perfect feel in the hand, and remarkable worksmanship. They also announced that they're addressing the male domination of their current market by bringing in new colors come mid January when they release the additional Pearl White and Rose Gold varieties of their phones. 

Speaking of which, here's the gorgeous Flash 2

The Flash 2 has a 5.5-inch screen and runs on an Android. It's got an Octa-core 1.4 GHz processor and a ginormous Lithium Ion 3200 mAh battery so you can use it all day. It's currently available in a volcanic ash color and fancy with a little curve. It actually feels so good in the hand when we got the chance to see it during the small Blogger/Media thanksgiving night arranged by Alcatel. They've been investing research and development for handsets that would be at their prime form for a long time. They know the younger generation is their market and they made the best handsets on the price range that's still reasonable. 

The phone went to almost a thousand hands before they decided it was the perfect fit. They also have a quick shutter button in the phone’s bottom. Now you can easily press it for rush selfies or photos while you have it on your hand. They boast the Flash 2 has ultra-specs for pixel, runtime and system. They say it's the best Android phone at this price point and they've made a remarkable phone with great design. It's the one they call "Perfect in Hand" which Alcatel prides themselves with.

It's made for the younger generation and they made sure it feels like it, it looks like it and fits your hand like a glove. If you think the first Flash phone was good, you should definitely try this on for size. Make yourself know more about the new one and ask yourself if it's the phone you've been looking for. A 13MP back camera and 5MP front sounds good in my books especially when it costs around Php 6,190 here.

Thanks Alcatel Philippines for having us!

It's Your Turn!

Hi world! I'm a Mama's Boy. I'm not ashamed to admit that.

My Mom taught me a lot of things. She taught me how to read and write, even if it was a little traumatic to tie me up on a chair and write "The Quick Brown Fox" a thousand and one times, I got my handwriting to a T and learned a lot from that. I was always a "kumag" which means if they tell me to do one thing, I'd be doing the exact opposite and laugh about it afterwards. She got me to markets and lift heavy baskets, but that's where I learned to shop, for things at a reasonable price. Then when we got home, I always watched her how to cook. I've seen her cram every time she gets home late so she could get us dinner on the table. She was a magician, taking anything she can see on the refrigerator and whip up a dish with no name and it still tastes homey. I think that's where I got my style of cooking, a useful thing because I can cook practically anything from scratch now.

I do now have my own personal style but it all stemmed from what I learned from my parents. From tying my shoe, to talking to people, to being respectful and being brave when I see the need to... all that I learned from my folks. They're my inspiration, and I'm so lucky to have them til now and I could still show them how much I love them everyday.

They're non techies, but I sure tried to teach them what I can about mobile phones so they can still get in touch with my brother in Dublin, Ireland. I saw how special that moment was when I watched this video.

Touching right? But let me ask you, have you done the same thing to your parents too? Did you try to teach them how to use phones and stuff? If not, I think it's time you do something for them... even if it's a small thing. They'll love you for that.

Chasing Huawei Hotspot Hotties

Had fun a few weeks ago as Huawei had us chase around Huawei Hotspot Hotties at the Mall of Asia in Pasay City. Sexy vixens and good looking men started walking around the mall and we were given the task to spot them. They were carrying access points and the guys had the passwords so we could get connected to the internet, which means we also had to talk to them in some way. I was looking forward to capture them all in one photo so I did not get to walk around anymore and just stayed in the new Huawei store in the Cyberzone at the left wing of the mall. It's right on top of the SM Hypermarket's building so you wouldn't really miss it.

Aside from the hotties, there were three other stars of the show. One was the Flash LTE Pocket Wifi, the Spark Pocket Wifi and the Lightning LTE CPE Router. The FLASH has LTE speeds of up to 150 Mbps and upload of 50 Mbps and can accommodate up to 10 devices. The SPARK on the other hand is 3G capable and can run 21 Mbps but is small in form. You can have it run up to 6 hours because it's 1500 mAh and turn on very fast! The router on the other hand is LTE capable, but can get you 32 devices connected. It's also got Gigabit ports so if you're into wired ones, this can perfectly work in your favor. I bet it's even better with SMART as your network provider (of course!).

Here it is on video!

Posted by Kumagcow on Sunday, December 6, 2015

The SPARK costs Php 1,890, the FLASH costs Php 3,990 and the LIGHTNING is Php 5,330. It's affordable and if you're always mobile, the thing can be always ON. That's the only thing you can expect with Huawei these days, they're just humble LOL!

Spoil Them These Holidays with Villa Del Conte Chocolates!

If you haven't bought anything yet to give your friends and relatives this Christmas, I just got a really great idea, had to share it of course! When I got back home from an event, a bag full of goodies surprised me big time on the table. It was from Villa Del Conte, and I couldn't contain myself... I just had to write about it. Inside those boxes are sweet decadent chocolates with a 75 year history. I love the praline sticks, the praline balls and dark chocolate. They also have some really good ones with caramel, creme brulee, pomegranate flavor. They also have some other bars inspired by One Direction, a favorite of every teen I know. I find it first class, I find it very touching to get one, this was the perfect way to surprise me bar none.

On the card, they told me to indulge and enjoy. I will oblige of course, with this 50% chocolate with crunchy toffee and sea salt. It's the perfect combo to something a bit bitter and earthy like that.

If you want something crunchy, they've got Milk Chocolate with Cereals, something simple, yet very addicting. I can imagine myself sitting in front of the Christmas tree and putting the squares in my mouth one by one. Then a mug of hot chocolate with it haha!

For a more intense chocolate experience, this fine milk chocolate with hazelnut chips does the job. The combination has been tested for ages and if you know Italian people, this is like peanut butter and jelly sandwich on a normal day. I will not share it though, I'm going to be selfish today LOL!

For those who want to get boxes of these, they're available at the 3rd Floor of Shangri-La Plaza Mall, at the 2nd Floor of Greenbelt 5, at the Upper Ground level of Robinsons Magnolia, at the Ground Floor of Resorts World Manila, at the Lower Ground Floor of Alabang Town Center, at the Ground Floor of Century City Mall, and at the 2nd Floor of Mega Fashion Hall in Megamall. It's one of the best things you can get for loved ones this Christmas, I'm sure I did! So go ahead and spoil them these holidays! They deserve something special of course!
