UBER Now has MULTIPLE STOPS Feature

Thursday, November 30, 2017



Had lunch with good people a couple of days ago, took an UBER to get there that afternoon. Didn't have any hitches because it's fairly easy to get an UBER X in my town to BGC. Lunch was good, the Manila Burger hit the spot. After this, I needed to go to GMA because of another event so I ran about BGC like crazy. My friends and I had to take photos of our outfits.



Armed with the long shirt from the new Oxygen David Bowie collection, Hair by Bing Dio Salon, Bench Skinny Jeans, Mossimo Jacket and my adorable White Chucks from Converse, I think I look cute! 

When it was time to leave, my friends had to go to the archery range at Makati Cinema Square and I had to go to GMA but we wanted to save a buck or two and UBER was the convenient way to go. Now I remember about a month ago my UBER app suddenly had an update on it's interface, adding a + sign on the destination prompt. I used this feature to drop off my neighbor to his destination without the need to tell my UBER driver for a favor. It was an opportune time to use it.


Rodel, Ruth and Rod had to go to Kodanda in Makati while I needed to go to Quezon City. They also had to pick up tickets at the Mind Museum so now it's easy. Using UBER's MULTIPLE STOP Feature, I can just input The Mind Museum first, click the + sign and choose Makati Cinema Square for the second stop, then click the + sign again for GMA Network Center.




As you may have seen on the prompt you would need to make these stops to a maximum of three minutes so you won't be bothering your friends and the good UBER driver waiting too long. It's good etiquette if you follow that rule. :)


So now you only need to book one trip for your whole gang and save a lot for using MULTIPLE STOPS. You also help the environment because this exactly is like a car pool. Remember to also plot strategically so you won't be going around in circles. The nearest stops should be prioritized, so you and your friends have more time to get CLINGY if you are all bound to go home. 


And judging from the way their photos looked, they had fun during their archery games at Makati Cinema Square's Kodanda. Next time, I'll be joining them there.

UBER is definitely improving the app and it's efficiency to get to your destination fast, affordable and efficiently. I would be using this more now from hereon.

Would this be a convenient choice for you too?

The Next Gen Accessory Store BASEUS

Wednesday, November 29, 2017



Where do you get your phone accessories these days? I'm like a hodge podge of different things so I get them from cheap online stores and I end up destroying them after a few days LOL which means I do spend a lot because I don't get the ones that are of premium quality. It's why I adore places like Digital Walker because I love everything that's there. Lo and behold, they've got BASEUS now, a worldwide known brand that will be in separate stores. This will still be under the Digital Walker group of CEO and head honcho Charlie Paw.



Baseus is a tech accessory brand from Shenzen and is available in 8 different countries including Korea, UAE, Australia and now the Philippines. This is officially their first flagship store. Their product designs are heavily awarded by IF Design Awards and is known for their car chargers, multifunction cables, car mounts, flash drives, wireless chargers, power banks, phone cases and a whole lot more.



They will also be giving huge discounts to their very own Baseus Backpack Power Bank Case (7300 mAh) and will give it for 990 pesos instead of 1,790 which is it's original price. Go visit the Baseus store in Trinoma today! It's now open! You may also get details about it at Facebook.com/OfficialBaseusPH so go!

A Homey Partnership of Nutriasia, Avida and Amaia

Tuesday, November 28, 2017



What makes a house a home? I've asked myself that question a couple of times already and might have the answer for it but let me tell you how three big corporations decided to forge a partnership so their communities would get to that state. You see Nutriasia, Amaia and Avida knew how important it is to live in a community harmoniously and what better way to do that but by doing a Grand Neighbor Day last October 28, 2017 at their different communities across the country. Nutriasia held their Datu Puti #PerfectAdobo challenge in these events not to pit these lovely people and outdo each other but to promote camaraderie and the sense of family in each meal.


I'm sure each of them must have had their perfect version of Adobo and for sure they've been able to use these products quite regularly. Nutriasia is also celebrating their 25th year and making these houses become homes is but a shared vision between them, Avida and Amaia. 


Ms. Dang de Leon the Corporate Marketing Consultant for NutriAsia says "The partnership between the Philippines premier condiment producer and the leading property developer you might say may be unlikely. But NutriAsia, Avida, and Amaia both aspire to make Filipino families happy and content through its quality products. Aside from that, NutriAsia has been helping to provide authentic Filipino meals at the dining table. This gives immeasurable happiness to the Filipino families we serve including the ones in the community of Avida and Amaia. Let us all celebrate the love for family." 

Ms. Tess Tatco the Head of Corporate Marketing for Avida Land agrees and says "The partnership with NutriAsia encourage our shared interests. We know NutriAsia can help us build better communities.”

Select new home owners fromAmaia and Avida Land will also be receiving Home Cooking Starter Kits. This is part of their partnership with Nutriasia who manufactures iconic Filipino food brands such as Datu Puti, Silver Swan, UFC, Papa, Jufran, Mafran, Golden Fiesta and Mang Tomas.
