Piolo Pascual and Judy Ann Santos Reunites at "Money for Life"Campaignfor Sun Life

For those who love Judy Ann Santos - Agoncillo and Piolo Pascual's original loveteam, there's more reason to rejoice now. Even though they have their own lives now, one brand seems to have wanted them to be seen together. Together with Ms. Charo Santos, Matteo Guidicelli and Iñigo Pascual, Piolo and Judy Ann is spearheading the "Money For Life" Campaign for our friends from Sun Life. 

"Money for Life" is a new comprehensive and fully customizable financial planning program that would enable Sun Life clients be ensured that they will have sufficient funds no matter where life takes them, or whatever stage of life they may be in. These endorsers pretty much are in different stages in their life, and need different plans so they could focus on life and family. Ms. Charo Santos is enjoying life after retirement. Judy Ann Santos wanted to do more of her investments when she started in show business and now is reaping the fruits of it, so she doesn't have to worry about her kids too. Matteo is of the sporty type, but he knows how he needs to invest today as he's got his own businesses to take care of. Iñigo on the other hand is just starting, but coming from his Dad'a gift, he's rolling over his investments this early because Sun Life will take care of his earnings.

"We have researched a lot and used Nielsen to take a look at how Filipinos can improve their lives. 6/10 do not have investments other than a bank account. 85% says it is important but only 2% have any form of investments, clearly there is a disconnect. A lot of Filipinos have shortage in funds and Sun Life believes in a brighter future. This campaign is to let people know to consult a financial planner so they knwo how to go through their entire lives. To have the support of Matteo, Ms. Charo, Piolo, Iñigo and Juday, people are now hopefully going to think about their future. We hope Filipinos take action towards getting that "Money for Life" for a financial problem free Philippines!" says Ms. Mylene Lopa of Sun Life Philippines.

"This is how we should be pursuing our dreams, we need to save money and buy the only things that we need in life. I look forward that I will be prepared no matter what life throws at me" adds Matteo Guidicelli.

Juday mentions "I am moving up because I already have 3 kids. No joke, but I was already a Sun Life client since Mara Clara days and I listened to a lot of people while I was younger. I wanted my family to be secure, even when I did consider to live in Canada so when I get back, I would have something to go back for. A lot of my financial decisions have changed because I suddenly have to be selfless with my kids, but not forgetting to be still happy so when my kids grow up, I won't worry about them because I balanced everything. I guess in every parent, you want to have your kids to be able to support themselves and know their needs up to a certain extent. You have to explain why they have to save money, make them experience the joy of saving and having their own bank account. They need to do that because it's a very adult feeling but at least they know the value of money. I am happy to let people know that agents can tell you how to get you started, prepare yourself and make sure when you get old, you let your money work for you and choose the right insurance company to be with. They're very good to talk to and Sun Life can work around with any amount so you can plan ahead regardless what your age is. The agents will explain to you these all clearly, you'll be fearless and have confidence that life will be comfortable. We're not putting our eggs in one basket, at least one fourth of our money is invested here and we top up when we can afford it. It really works for me because it's safe."

"Working together for a cause was enough reason to be with Piolo and this isn't a film, so why not!? We have an omnibus, in time, given a project and story we'll do that beacause we just didn't have a project yet. If it will happen, it will happen! During Mara Clara days I felt that I neede to save because I can work for it. I was a fraid to get old and not have projects that time, I was already thinking of our future but I could only do bit by bit. I always have a savings account that I don't touch and part of that is investments, I don't want hardships to happen like with other artists. I started doing financially handling everything when I was 26, it was pretty late. I didn't have apprehensions working with Piolo and it would be harder to say no because I have been doing Sun Life for a long time. Piolo and I are okay, we're not being seen but we do meet and talk ever now and then. We're casual and if there would be a time to talk about the projects we'll have that in due time. We're getting there because I am resting, in this corset, so it's a little diffficult. Basic priorities like bags and shoes are not that basic anymore, you just are happy with your kids as they are in different stages, priorities change as you spend time with them. You want them to live a good life and want them to do their studies and make goals of their own. To listen to them, little things like that, time for my husband and myself, I'm doing it with Sun Life! My best advice is to call a Sun Life Advisor today!"

"I take care of my self and I want to finish the Ironman thing very soon. In this stage where my son is already earning and is responsible, I'm taking care of myself and Sun Life is going to take care of me as they've been in the past already. I also have critical ailments coverage."

"It's very practical and I told Iñigo about how to make sure he had insurance policies to choose from when I started working. I was hesitant for him to be in showbiz because since he's already finishing high school, Sun Life made sure he's going back to college. I also did a short course and it was fun, school should be like that. I learned a lot and I didn't know a lot about my faith but you realize you need to be practical and take advantage of opportunities. Ever since I started working, I knew I needed to save and I've been taught by really great people how to do it. I get commercials before and worked and ever since I knew I had to take care of my self. I don't spend much, I'm not stingy but every chance I get I invest in real estate and policies because I knew I need to. I have 8 or 9 with Sun Life, in different forms as they cater to different needs. Even before Sun Life endorsements, I already had one and I'm always up for more.

Judy Ann and I hopefully will work soon... and we pitched something already, hopefully that will push through. We just need time. Juday and I have always been okay and we've been saying hi when we can. Even if we don't meet that much I consider her a good friend for life. 

I really have enough to retire, I want my kid to have the chance to shine also. My family have businesses and are into real estate. I would like to do a full ironman, hopefully before I turn 40. I don't know how I'll get married but hopefully soon. I don't believe in prenups but I'll cross the bridge when I get there. I'm also thinking of helping more aside from actual investments. Eat right, sleep right, make us feel young, be okay and put your heart in the right place. Iñigo isn't even asking for money since he started working, he knows how to invest and handle his money well. In a sense I can take care of myself better, I sleep more, but I'm always present in his life. I'm also doing this with Sun Life."

AUDIOFLY Lands at Digits Trading and Beyond the Box Stores

We traveled all the way to Makati City the other day to get the chance to get to know a new brand that's about to join the premium products that Digits Trading has to offer. They're called AUDIOFLY, an audio accessory brand whose expertise lie in building and designing headphones. They've lived up to the expectations of international artists and local musicians in Australia and they're bringing it to Philippine shores so we could experience more. I guess we deserve the best too.

Their philosophy in design tells a lot how they want the quality of their products to turn out. Even though they're sticking to classics, they don't bat an eyelash when it comes to pushing boundaries, to innovate and achieve superior detail when it comes to these devices. Vintage products is something that they wanted to get used to, something that has stood the test of time, durable and tested. This is included in their design process, they thought about different industries and produced tons of designs to find the right one. They wanted quality to be the prime reason YOU would buy an Audiofly.

The markets in Asia are the biggest and they're excited to have the presence at Digits Trading and Beyond the Box where this will be exclusively sold first. The musical experience in these devices have been done with professional musicians. It's based in Australia but they have been included in various expo's around the world because they know with Audiofly, every detail counts. 

This is ideal for public places as it also has sound isolation technology and just recently, local musicians and artists have also tried and tested the earphones and monitors on live gigs. It went pretty well and one of them said that you can totally zone out and concentrate on your songs. A young lady performed during the launch and we did see her enjoy the small run because she's got Audiofly on her ear. It's clear, crisp, every note has insane detail because this is what the brand stands for too, the ultimate clarity of music. 

The AF33 has a custom voiced dynamic driver, noise isolating silicon tips (for the ear plugs), you can also use it to make calls and control music with it.

The A45M has almost the same features with the exception of the custom voiced drivers, the AF33 uses 9mm while this one uses 11mm. This one uses Audioflex cables too, a tough one that could withstand everyday wear and tear.

The AF56 is one of their nicest in-ear earphones with a 13mm dynamic driver. It promises outstanding clarity, making every track you hear rich and detailed. This would be perfect for meticulous composers who plan to make more music.

The AF78 uses a combination of technologies, uses hybrid dual drivers. You'll get that sophisticated sound you're looking for in this set. It's got machined anodised alloy bezel with precision laser cut venting in the back for acoustic greatness, something you'll never find in designs other brands.

As for me, the AF45 is already sufficient for what I do at work. If I needed to arrange interviews and transcribe material, this would be fine. I also compose music and create melody for some of my friends. This is already professional grade so for that function alone, it's on a different league!

Audiofly is exclusively available in Digits Trading affiliated stores and Beyond the Box stores. You can take advantage of these high quality audio accessories that are affordable for what it's worth. A thing that's already tested by musicians, designed with them in mind says a lot for what Audiofly is capable of. Experience it in these stores today and try it on for size, you'll find what will fit your lifestyle!

Philippine Airlines Launches myPAL Roam

It looks like Philippine Airlines and their group of companies are pushing the envelope on this one as they launch their own global internet hotspot called myPAL Roam, a global mobile hotspot that promises to connect you in over 80 countries in cooperation with Skyroam. Skyroam in itself isn't a mobile company and doesn't use sim cards for their device to work. Their service actually connects directly to whatever local telco, of course it's better with SMART. They apparently give you the local HSPDA+ connection rates for only Php 490. That means there will be no bill shocks for people like you who often go out of the country. This device can now be rented through PAL Boutique located in the PAL Ticket Office lobby of the PNB Financial Center in Pasay City (at the back of World Trade Center), NAIA Terminal 2 Departure area or via roam.philippineairlines.com. The device may be returned to the PAL Boutique NAIA Arrival area or On Board Return Service (yes inside the plane!). 

"In partnership with Skyroam, you can ise this in over 120 countries worldwide. This is the latest addition to what PAL has been offering onboard. PAL moves closer to our goal to be a 5 star airline in 5 years and it underscores our philosophy "The Heart of the Filipino", we hope to power your adventures!" says Mr. Jaime Bautista of Philippine Airlines. 

Camie and Kimi, lifestyle and travel bloggers who also used myPAL Roam in Bali. 

myPAL Roam is the latest addition to Philippine Airlines service innovations together with myPAL Player and parts of the myPAL eSuite. I've shown you their fashion show a couple of weeks ago when they launched PAL Boutique where they have Filipino products exhibiting our own talents and craftsmanship. If you might have forgotten that show, here it is! 

In a nutshell, I think this is much like what they use in Japan where people rent out the device and return it (literally throw it on a designated box). This one however can be taken elsewhere which is also convenient but it still has it's flaws (I heard data caps) but is good as an add on service.

Greenwich Launches Bacon Crispy Thins

We're in Greenwich BGC Stopover today to get schooled on Bacon today! Chef Ed Bugia taught us thay early Chinese actually invented it but used largely to preserve meat. Salt takes out the moisture and smoke brings in the flavor. 

They showed us many ways to actually use bacon, one pf which is Bacon Deviled Eggs! Then since we're also talking about Canada that afternoon, they also served Cream Cheese and Bacon Poutine with Caramelized Onions, Apples and Chives, plus Baked Potato and Cream Cheese Soup for the love of everything Bacon! But that's not all! I was excited because Greenwich is going all the way by launching a one of a kind pizza flavor called Greenwich Bacon Crispy Thins!

Awww it was so Bacony if there's a word for it. You can taste the smoky, salty, sweet and savory notes, plus the cheese too! We all need bacon in our lives! 

There's now a ton of reasons to go to Greenwich the next time you crave for pizza! Make sure you order the Bacon Cripsy Thins on your next visit because honestly, bacon is good reason to go back. Plus the chicken, plust the lasagna and pasta! Haha!

If you don't want to go out, there's always 55555 so you don't have to drive outside! Any other reasons guys? :P
