Game of Drones at Circulo Verde

Wow! That was all I could say when I watched the races over at the first ever Game of Drones at Circulo Verde, a property managed and developed by Ortigas & Company. The last time I was here they opened The Bike Playground which was so awesome for hobbyists and bike enthusiasts here and nearby communities. 

These guys spent thousands of pesos just yo jazz up the usual drones and fit their rigs for racing purposes. True enough, these things zip by so fast, I fear it was going to chop off one or two limbs, but I'm so glad this sport is so safe for kids and adults, especially the ones who plays toys for the big boys.

I visited their main workshop area and found them making sure all their gears are in perfect working condition. Aside from that, once a drone crashes in the course, they fix it right away as they've brought spare parts too. 

I also love how they took really good care of their equipment. They personalize everything from blades to the actual controller, like this one in camouflage!

All these drones have eyes, they even monitor them real time in one station so as to make sure the spotters would see they pass every obstacle in the race course. They also have an organization going and these guys are mostly members of it. Circulo Verde is a sprawling property taking brave steps in making their community to be an active one, ecologically friendly and a really nice place to go to on weekends.

After a long day of eliminations, 8 drones will be battling it out in the finals. There will be also team time trials so whoever gets that will win these trophies and medals, prolly some moolah too. Ah this place is so competitive, I could smell the androgen from a mile away.

Have you gone to Circulo Verde?

EnergyFM Vows To Be Great Again!

I'm currently sitting here alone in the crowd while munching on my favorite Korean meats at KPub Barbecue in BGC. Not that I don't want to but I just want to be alone for a moment as I listen to tunes dished by Tricoustics as they take part in the celebration and media launch of EnergyFM. It looks like they are taking an aggresive stance in forging partnerships and relationships with media people as they introduce more people from their radio station. You probably know the recent transfer of John Gemperle aka Papa Jack who is now known as Papa Jackson, aside from that they've got a stellar lineup of radio Dj's set to rule airwaves of Metro Manila and nearby provinces as they battle a tough market where everybody else was claiming they are number 1.

        KPUB BBQ was so good btw!

Now they were known to have been renting off time on their frequency in the past but now that they've added more people on their team, it looks like they are going to bank on the attention that they are getting. Would this prove to be a hard goal to reach? Or would this be an easy route? I believe it's going to be a very tough fight. Though I'm glad even in the past they have been able to get name recall with their byline "Wag Mo Sabihing Radyo, Sabihin Mo Energy!" which means "Don't say it's radio, say it's Energy!" (pertaining to EnergyFM). I still think they should stick with that and just amp up the individual programs they have the whole day.

But really, we have loved and always remembered EnergyFM as our "pangga" or love in our Visayan dialect. As owmer Ms. Rebecca Sy puts it "The celebrities are here, thank you for coming, even though I own McCormick, Clara Ole, San Remo, Lee Kum Kee, Tabasco and tons of other companies, I always thought greatness comes in how you face failures and focus on the goals. We only count blessings, and put everything to God. We don't have to be the number 1 radio station but have true love and concern with our listeners. Our mission is not just provide music and entertainment, we want to be an instrument of God to those who tune in to our station. Papa Jackson and Kuya Chico is now part of our team, and so does a lot of new members of the EnergyFM family, together with them I hope we all take priority not just to strive for greatness, but help people.  Please join us to make EnergyFM great again, thank you!".

Their Station Manager adds "For us at EnergyFM, she is our paradigm, she provides direction and deserves our thanks and congratulations Madam Rebecca Ang Sy. We have been lucky to have seen how our station has humbly grown, and for that we are also thankful too. You will see more things improve in programming, you'll be heearing us the whole week, weekends and Sundays included."

The DJ's all performed for the crowd which includes some of their sponsors, ad agencies and supporters. They also had everyone from the radio station thank the media who attended the occasion. I wish they prove true to their promise, because as they say... there's really no way to go but up!

Congratulations EnergyFM! I wish you guys all the best! And maybe soon, I'll be a DJ too, I think I had that on my bucketlist hahah! Oh and I really had fun, thank you!

P.S. Please make sure you ALWAYS listen to Papa Jackson's and Kuya Chico's (GabiNaKabahanKaNa) show on 106.7 EnergyFM from 9PM to 1AM weekdays and also Papa Jacksons much awaited Hello STG (sorry, thank you, goodbye) on the same slot on other days. You'll love them both! 

Thank you Papa Jackson and EnergyFM!

Products for Men Abound Shopee Swag Night with JC Santos

I have always been a very keen shopper at Shopee and if you haven't downloaded this from Google Play or the App Store, boy you must have been under a rock. Anyway they held their Shopee Swag Night a couple of weeks ago and I totally forgot about this until someone liked my IG photo today. You see, Shopee is amping up their choices for Men this season because honestly, it's not just the girls who shop in this app. Did you know that men comprise about 45% of the sales in this app? Me too because I made that up, but my point is there are a lot of men who buy stuff for themselves while in the comforts of their homes because goin out with the girlfriend is always a chore, men don't want to wait for hours and honestly, the manner on how we shop is different. We usually go to a shop knowing what we want, get it and go. We don't spin around in circles like women do, well most of the time.

Anyway, during the event I saw lots of things that would be perfect for guys especially the gadgets and gizmos that would probably fit your adventurous and outdoorsy lifestyle. I saw the latest GoPro Hero 5 sold cheaper than the usual mall prices with this vendor right here. They also have non GoPro branded adventure cameras that would fit anybody's budget because it's easier with the app as they also feature chat services wherein you can haggle the price. I bought several Christmas gifts here and the dealer gave me a 40% discount, so just ask nicely and who knows they might just budge.

HP even has their own line of gaming and wierless bluetooth speakers, wireless accessories, laptop bags and OMEN gaming gear available in the app or the website so if you're looking for original things, they've go that covered.

Now aside from that, there are even some cool grooming products and equipement you can buy off the store, they almost have special sales all the time and can also deliver for FREE if you get to buy things of Php500 or more. Sometimes even lower. So really, there's no reason why you shouldn't try the Shopee app today because aside from the cheap prices, they even have tons of discount coupons to give away just so you could buy that perfect thing for your boyfriends or girlfriends on your next anniversary. Heck I even saw JC Santos during the event as he endorsed the mens products storewide.

He was really very nice too and accomodating, even if this was the first time I've ever met him (oh yes I have yet to interview him for his upcoming shows soon!)

So drop everything that you are doing and download the app now. Believe me, even if this looks so upscale for you, it's like Divisoria on steroids when I tried it. So don't be afraid of shopping online as they have safeguards to make sure you get what you need without breaking the bank, fast and securely too.
