The minute I saw this announced, my jaw dropped. I'm sure you will too. Changing landscapes in the telecommunication industry is not new to Smart because aside from the best promos, they come up with the best plans on prepaid and postpaid lines. 

Today marks another achievement because they're breaking your habit of calling your friends, your family, the most important people in your life. Smart, TNT and SUN subscribers can now take advantage of SMART Express Call 50. In this plan, you get 50 minutes of all-net calls which are valid for 3 days. That only means it'll cut down the cost of calling on any network. At a cost of Php 1 per minute, you can call them all using Smart Express Call 50 on to top your usual Smart Prepaid offers. They already have the great data GIGABYTE plans and now that this is available, you can spend even less than the usual amount you do when calling them. Friends, Family, Uber drivers, you can stand to save a ton of money because this is definitely cheaper, but still backed by the BIGGEST network in the country.

What's even better is that Smart Postpaid subscribers like me can also enjoy the rates on top of of my existing plan. So for the TNT and SUN Cellular networks, you too will be included in this scheme. Other than that, you can also get the existing TNT and Sun promos with Php 5 for 5 minutes of calls to all networks. Now you can call whenever you need to check on the kids, your friends, your family, the office, the restaurant you want to reserve to, all for Php 1 per minute. This is totally not out of the ordinary, and from the looks of it, they're not stopping there. If you want to know more about it check out the channels below!

Unbelievable.

VIVO Turns Over Donations To Habitat for Humanity Philippines

 Last February, Vivo Philippines started a campaign called VIVO Perfect Selfie Cup enjoining several celebrities to have their perfect selfie shots be liked and voted on by their fans and individuals, in a goal to equate them all to the number in pesos and be donated to their chosen charity as part of the company's CSR efforts. This was gladly joined by artists like Yeng Constantino, Erich Gonzales, Jessy Mendiola, Enchong Dee, Andrea Brillantes, Jane Oineza, Sue Ramirez, Miles Ocampo, Maris Racal, and Loisa Andallo and posted on the VIVO Philippines Instagram account while using their newest flagship phone the VIVO V5 Plus. The phone has the world's first 20-megapixel dual front camera which cannot be matched by other phone companies yet and they're raising the bar when taking selfies with these wonderful phones, I've seen the difference myself during their launch a couple months back. 

Vivo brand director Annie Lim and brand executive Christian Jocson turns over the donation to Partnership Manager Francis Hussein Mamasabulod Habitat and Individual Giving Manager Rowena Kakilala of Habitat for Humanity Philippines.

Annie Lim the brand director of Vivo Philippines says “Vivo would like to thank everyone who joined our cause. We at Vivp Philippines would want to help Filipinos to have a better life. We fervently hope to have helped homeless families in the country to get roofs over their head and a neighborhood that thrives, making them productive, resilient people in their community”.

The valid likes amounted to One Hundred One Thousand Nine Hundred Eighty, and the organization is getting the same amount in pesos as promised. Vivo Philippines also awarded brand new Vivo V5 Plus phones to ten lucky participants in the activity too. If you would like to know more about the phones, please visit the Vivo website at vivo.com/ph or check out their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/VivoPhil. They also have their Instagram and Twitter account at @vivophil and @vivo_phil respectively.

Congratulations Vivo Philippines! You did good!

Klea Pineda's 18th Birthday

I distinctly remember interviewing Klea Pineda a few weeks after she won as the Ultimate Female Survivor for Starstruck's 6th edition a couple of years ago. She was statuesque, had a very regal smile and was also poised much of a beauty queen. She had the presence of which people who probably judged her on the show must have seen. She worked hard doing the auditions, the daily and weekly tasks to win that show - of which tells how promising this new actress is. She landed a role in Encantadia playing "Muyak" who is a fairy/nymph which have her be noticed of millions of Filipino who watch the show. She was a little sad a couple of months ago because that role had her always in the green room and didn't get to interact with the other actors in the show. But the story, circumstances all changed and now she gets to be with them quite often. A welcome change in Encantadia's gorgeous gal.

We interviewed her a few days ago for #EighteenK, Klea Pineda's turn to be presented to the society. Her theme, was modern bohemian. She invited her family, friends, a couple artists from GMA Artist Center and other celebrities. Now I'm sure that party was going to be successful and fun, but when I asked about who else she wanted to be there, I felt sorry because she suddenly turned and bursted into tears. She wanted to see her grandfather whom she attributed all the hard work she's done over the years. She uttered it would have been better of these blessings were witnessed by him when he were still alive. Obviously, she misses her Grandpa so much. I apologized for making her cry that time, I didn't know things would turn out that way.

She's still wishing for more projects, more gigs and albums in the future. She also wants to make her dream to finally become a beauty queen to come true. I must say, she could already walk, she's smart, gorgeous and can already do this as she is in her prime. She's hungry to achieve this in a couple of years time, and didn't even matter what crown it would be as long as she gets to share her cause as she deeply cares for the elderly. 

She was stunning last night at NOBU Hotel where she celebrated #EighteenK. Photos from the GMA Artist Center were all dreamy, you could tell she was having fun while all her friends, family gathered in this momentous occasion. I was so happy for her; just like her fans would've felt. 

It was so much fun interviewing her at Palm Grill in Tomas Morato, a new restaurant serving great chicken, pizza, pasta. She also wanted to keep her celebration very private and have the most important people in her life be there. I think she got her wish and more. She's just starting people, so if you see Klea Pineda be in future shows and star in her own soap, you shouldn't be surprised at all. She's got it.

Photos From Smart Music Live with Shawn Mendes

 I'm not much of a BIG fan but if you're asking, I do love his music. Okay maybe a little LOL! For me, music transcends personalities or generations so when the chance to see Shawn Mendes arrived, I was so excited! This is part of his ILLUMINATE tour and is sponsored by SMART. Smart Music Live has been bringing in artists from around the world and sponsoring their shows here in the Philippines. They've done that numerous times and I'm sure this won't be the last. (To tell you another surprise, Fifth Harmony is coming to the Philippines courtesy again of Smart Music Live!) I personally love his songs TREAT YOU BETTER, STITCHES and MERCY. I was there to listen to him just like the rest of his fans but I saw something even BIGGER. You couldn't even see spaces in between seats because darn, the whole Mall of Asia Arena was packed to the brim!

Shawn Mendes was charming, always talked to the crowd between songs and just a glimpse of him back stage meant you'll have to cover your ears because these millennials are not letting each sighting go, they screamed like it was the end of the world!

The Canadian born singer is good looking, his hair was perfect, his face was like a boy who wanted care, girls wanted to take care of him LOL

I even think they took notice of his arms, this boy next door wasn't just talented, he was gorgeous.

He played my favorites and I just lost it. I sat down and sang along with him in my head. Everybody else was singing loudly, I couldn't even see him during the first song because almost everyone didn't stand up from their seats, they stood up ON THEIR SEATS! It was crazy that the SM Marshalls had to tell them to go down so people at the back could watch!

There was one part of the show where he also told the crowd that people from Manila actually are good singers, so he had them sing out part of the songs, it was awesome!

He sat down on the piano, took his time to sing a few songs in this setup and made us swoon, I think that's Shawn's magic working.

That's just a bit of how it is to LIVE SMART. Thank you so much to the folks at Smart Communications for bringing in SHAWN MENDES to Manila, Philippines. I'm sure this won't be the last time we're seeing world class artists arrive on our shores. All photos on this post is brought to you by Smart Communications. Thanks for sharing us your shots!
