Bridgestone Teaches More Filipinos About Tire Safety

You've probably heard of the brand a couple of times since they're very involved in the sports cars industry or have probably seen it in the streets of Manila once or twice in your lifetime being used as radial tires of cars or jeepneys whatever the case may be. It looks like they're upping the anté this time and figured to address one of the most important part of the Filipino motorist's life, and that's safety. Bridgestone Philippines' Ms. Ruby Gan says "Hindi na pwede ang pwede na!" (which literally means "It's not okay to be just okay!") a standard that is mostly uttered or brushed off by Filipinos. Bridgestone feels we deserve the best and if it's just mediocre, we definitely do not have to just accept it as is. They tell us how it is important to have quality tires because as per statistics, there are tons of accidents that have been caused by poor quality tires and this has got to stop. You've probably seen it increase quite rapidly in the rainy season where buses even cars go off route or fall into ravines and cause death. It's not a lauging matter, so they've also launched a Free Tire Check Service Program at Bridgestone Philippines which you can now access through http://www.bridgestonetires.com.ph/tire-center so you and I could get educated about tire safety, a thing that they hope would address lack of tire knowledge. They are doing this for free!

Now you've got a place to ask for motoring concerns, driver safety, and know how your tires can get you better mileage, make your car fuel efficient, and lessen your carbon footprint. They also have videos and tons of material that can make you a tad more educated when it comes to tire safety, accesible on the internet anytime of the day. 

Here are some videos which you can check out while you're at it!

You may visit their website http://www.bridgestonetires.com.ph or follow their social media channels @BridgestonePH on IG and Twitter. Take that leap and be better on the road and show those Bridgestone tires out there!

SMART MUSIC LIVE: Ely Buendia, Up Dharma Down, Nathan Sykes, Autotelic,Crwn and Aegis

Just let me know one artist in this lineup and I'll be there!

It's Ely Buendia. I've been a fan of his since day 1. I was fortunate to have the first concert in UP Sunken Garden, the last set, his XL Concert, the Deezer launch and during PLDT and Smart's launch of their new logo. I even hang around UP back in high school and college so I could see a glimpse of him. I'm not a BIG fan, I'm crazy about Eraserheads and all of them!

Anyway, I know I'm not the only crazy guy out there that would like to see them in a show. Add to that, Smart is going to have Up Dharma Down, Nathan Sykes, Autotelic, Crwn and Aegis perform live on stage at the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City. You've got the greatest OPM artists, an internationally renowned performer and a lot of surprises in one go. If you haven't got tickets yet, make sure you go to smrt.ph/smartmusiclive for more details. Be there around 6:30PM as the show will start promptly with opening performers so don't be left behind! Go ask your friends and family too if they like good music because I'm sure this is one HUGE party you don't want to miss!

See you there!

Get Rewards from 7-Eleven with the New CLiQQ App!

Have you already gone to a 7-Eleven store and see these cute little kiosks on the side of the counter? Well it's not just there for display or loading prepaid cards for your phone, it actually does a LOT more. Do you remember that Everyday Rewards Card? They've re-branded and made it even better!

The Kiosk isn't just a place to reload your phones with lovely Smart Prepaid Cards, but this can also get you other e-pins, a place to pay for your bills, and add cash to your cards when you need to. You can download this app on the Google Play Store or the App Store today. It's got it's own bar code that you can easily register with so each time you go to a 7-Eleven store you can rack up rewards points and exchange it for merchandise available on the app. The kiosk is also an access point so if you're around the area you can use your free 70MB for wireless connection. If that's not enough, you can opt to transfer your points for credits in your wifi access so you can surf some more.

These are my current favorite products in 7-Eleven and I'm glad they can actually become reward points every Php 50 purchase. The fridge that houses most of the sandwiches, the Milk Tea and Wintermelon Tea that's pretty new, plus this thing called Go Long which is a giant version of Yakult. It's just some of the things I love from the store.

Now I had some friends with me during that small event we had at 7-Eleven so since I've got some points on my card, I sent them some points too so they can get rewards just like me. The app basically has a section where you can redeem it and it lists down some really good freebies which you can claim as soon as you open your app. Just show it to the counter and you'll get it when it's available. Aside from that, you can use these points to purchase products if you feel like you want to shop. There are tons of promos and free stuff they've given away and if you've got multiple cards, you can have them registered on the app and combine them all! That way you don't have to really bring your cards along and just have the barcode on the app scanned by the friendly 7-Eleven staff on your phone if you're purchasing from them. Now isn't that convenient?

Now it's easy for you, your friends to get connected to the internet, shop when you need it and get rewarded in every 7-Eleven store you're visiting. So go install it on your devices today and reap all those free stuff you can get at a touch of a button. 

Don't tell me I didn't tell you about it!

Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza for "Imagine You and Me" Blogcon

This is the most awaited movie of the year and just like me, and the millions of fans of social media phenomenon AlDub (which they are fondly called) are excited about seeing "Imagine You and Me" a film made for national bae Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza. The two have been inseparable since their accidental chemistry happened a few eons ago in the longest noontime show in the country Eat Bulaga. 

Now I've already had the privilege to talk to Alden a couple of times and I know he's been so down to earth still, but I haven't had the chance to actually interview Maine so my plan was to ask her a lot of questions in this blog conference. Unfortunately we were allowed like 2 questions, but I was so happy how she answered it liberally and quite long. She actually had mentioned (while she was answering one question from another blogger) that she thinks she's a "pessimistic" person. I was really surprised (actually shocked) she said that out of the blue but when she explained and said that she was always like that and Direk also mentioned how Maine was so hard on herself during scenes in IYAM because once they did it on screen and she sees some little things she doesn't like. 

She goes ahead and says it to Direk and everybody on set so they can shoot it again. I think in some way it made her part of the creative process, not that she's a perfectionist. I actually think Maine wants this movie to be good because they are dedicating this to the millions of fans that have been there to support them and they don't want to short change YOU and ME. :) 

In that short exchange, and the little introduction I had with Maine made me feel how much she's telling people that she's real. She knows how much love she's getting but ultimately she wants people to know she's the same person as when she started. I don't know about you but when I see them together, I don't think Alden and Maine is doing this for kicks. I do feel this is something REAL, something that people may think is just for screen but for me, I feel they're really together. It's the actions, the small things that they do when they're with each other. You can't question that. 

Anyway, there's another reason for you guys and gals to be happy because Imagine You and Me will finally be seen on theaters tomorrow. To celebrate that, let me share with you some photos from the #IYAMBlogcon which happened a few days ago. I've also included videos of the interview on the bottom of this post. Please make your friends know it's showing on July 13, 2016 and also on the last week of July for other countries. Enjoy!   

Alden arrived with Direk Mike

Maine doing wacky faces, starting the blogcon very fun!
