Convenient Mobile Blogging with Smart GigaSurf!

Have you ever wondered how much people cherish internet connection nowadays? It's like they die a slow and painful death if they get offline. They're agitated, they can't think well, they get so uncomfortable if you don't see updates from your friends and family. Communication, Internet Connection is now a basic human right as accorded by UN Human Rights Council. Think about that for a minute. Isn't that a wonderful thing?

These are opportunities, we may have regrets, but we shouldn't wallow because the technology is continually changing, evolving as it fits our lifestyle. Things should be easy, affordable too. I upload a lot of stuff on the internet, from fashion show photos, shots of celebrities, to events I go to and even short interviews, I'd like that to be included in my blog posts. I have a postpaid line, but if I'd use my other phones I always carry along one that I could depend on, with a subscription that won't make me broke even if I just need it to get through the day. I'm glad Smart has prepaid promos that can hook me up to the internet, bigger data that doesn't cost that much.

Imagine if I subscribe to Gigasurf 50, I could get 1GB open access data that allows me to visit any site or use any app on my phone without restrictions. I also have a separate 300MB allocated for data streaming if I need to use Youtube, watch shows in iflix or other video streaming apps. It also includes unlimited text to all networks and would only cost Php 50 for 3 days. All you need to do is text the keyword GIGA50 to 9999. For those who want more, you can get Gigasurf 99 for 2GB of data, unlimited text to all networks which would only cost me Php 99 and last me 7 days. You can get that fast just by texting GIGA99 to 9999.

I mean, that's cheap already and you definitely get MORE data for that amount. You don't really have to suffer, they've got really good customer support too. I'm glad I still use my prepaid lines, believe me it has saved me a LOT of times from covering your favorite celebrities in Manila. You'll know how convenient it is if you're a Smart subscriber! 

It shouldn't be complicated at all! Visit https://smart.com.ph/prepaid/gigasurf/ for more information about the promo :)

Indie Film "4 DAYS" Now Shown In Greenbelt and Trinoma Cinemas

I had the chance to watch 4 Days last week through a private screening arranged by the film's Director Adolf Alix Jr. and the cast of this movie. Yes, it's being shown right now on theaters through a commercial run at Greenbelt 1 and Trinoma this week, perhaps even an extended run if it actually does good in the box office. The trailer alone had people raving about it, enough to get it viral and gain countless views. For starters, I'd laud it for it's truthful depiction of an LGBT relationship in a setting that is very relateable to this generation. 

The premise started innocent, some supposed young straight men going through colorful strides in their college life. Struggling in keeping relationships, or playing along to score, misogynistic at times, then completely become a one sided battle when one gets distraught by the rules of falling in love. Then Derek gets depression (Seb Castro's character), no, melancholy in fact. This spurred Mark's eagerness to care for a friend (played by Mikoy Morales), to see his imperfections and struggles as opportunities to connect, reverse with a little comedy until he refuses to let him off that easy. Then they found themselves looking at each other, eye to eye, with an uncanny thirst for uncontrolled lust, passion... even love. This is all happening while they're supposed to be straight one day, then question themselves the next. Yet at the back of their minds, it was unmistakeable... they liked it.

In dire situations, I had a hard time believing how they were cool about it the day after but the bond they may have made years before that might have gotten their feelings for each other in a very complacent position. Now they're closeted, never felt to even ask this position to be wrong, or right. I wouldn't want to spoil things for you, but in a nutshell you should put an end to this feeling of wanting to watch this film. This definitely deserves your attention, and you'll never look at showers or ketchup the same way again. Seb Castro and Mikoy Morales took two interesting characters to heart and made it believable, intense at times... but fairly romantic. 

We had a short chat with Seb Castro during the intimate press preview of their film. Director Adolf Alix was there too during that afternoon and showed us his short film called KINABUKASAN which stars Alden Richards and Nora Aunor, a bonus if you watch the movie on theaters.

I fervently hope you get to watch it this week as they go on a commercial run in Greenbelt 1 and Trinoma Cinemas, they hopefully would get extend and have it shown for an even wider audience. Something I'd love to see.

Wish you all the luck buddy!

William Thio Talks About SPOTLIGHT

I remember William Thio being that soft spoken heathrob back in the 90's and didn't hear quite much about him since then. He's been doing the legwork and has hosted talk shows and done field work as a news reporter (with other networks), anchored for UNTV's news properties, and still maintained that boyish looks he had back then. He's been raring to do this for the long time and it was a good opportunity to get to host this new one called SPOTLIGHT. 

William says "This would be a weekly show, shown every Saturday to bring a more personal interview. I'm excited for you to see the first guest, it's Ms. Nora Aunor. We want to talk about their legacy, their lives, this is a relaunch but previously this was hosted by our boss Daniel Razon. It's not entirely going to be entertainment personalities, but rather achievers in their respected industries. I think I found my niche, I am honored to do what I want to do which is news and public service. For the good of mankind. I consider myself as a journalist. I gather from sources and verify before I report it. I consider Daniel Razon as someone who inspires me, he always had the right things to say and I admire him because he always makes it a point to help first before reporting it. Lives do matter, and that's what we do in the UNTV. The station has trained me, developed me, they have set my priorities and having all that translated me in continuing what I love to do."

He adds "I've been engaged a couple of times back when I was younger, I am right now in a good place and I've had so much work, including a construction company that designs and restores which takes up most of my day. I would need someone to understand that, to understand me and what I do in a regular basis. I wake up and do things my way, I'm not in a hurry or looking but if God provides then I'd be glad."

SPOTLIGHT will be featuring individuals and celebrities that have weathered through life so they get to talk about it now, how they made it, and provide a sneak peek into their lives and squeeze it into a thirty minute show. His interviewees would be a hodge podge of the prominent, powerful and iconic people in the Philippines to see how they've been successful, perhaps a little too in their private lives, to show a more human side in their show. The show would like to also have people learn from their success and failures, to be more informative and entertaining. The show starts on October 28, Saturday and the corresponding weekends thereafter from 4:30PM to 5PM.

Don't miss it!
