Anne Curtis and Shopee's 5.5 Super Sale

Oh no, you must have forgotten that Shopee just has just announced two milestones a few weeks ago. For starters, they just got Filipina Aussie lass Anne Curtis as their new Brand Ambassador and got her as the face of their newest commercial in the Philippines. The App itself has changed the online shopping landscape in Southeast Asia - and other countries and they know how important the Philippine market is and how we've come to know, feel and experience the goodness of receiving products right in the comforts of our own homes. So aside from the gorgeous Anne Curtis, they announced the BIGGEST mid year online sale on the Shopee app. It's properly called 5.5 Shopee Super Sale and will only run until May 5th (Started last April 13). If you haven't shopped yet, then this might be the best time to do so.

What's in store for you? They've got up to 90% off on thousands of products, even have 55 peso deals on flash sales, unbelievably low low low prices and a whole day SHOPPING FIESTA on May 5. They also have partner stores giving huge discounts like world renowned brands Samsung, Coca-Cola, Unilever Philippines, Nescafe, NIDO ADVANCED PROTECTUS 3+, Colgate-Palmolive, AVEENO, Belo Essentials, Equal Sweetener, Silverworks, Banana Peel, i2i New York, Unisilver, Faber-Castell, Deuter, Head Racket, Coleman and a whole lot more. You can see them all on the newly launched Shopee Mall with limited edition its signed by Anne Curtis herself, in a line called Anne's Top Picks. You'll surely enjoy them all!

Oh and for those who haven't tried Shopee yet, let me give you a surprise since you've read this lenghty post today. Here's my code so you can get Php 80 OFF on your first purchase (conditions apply).

McJim is Indeed World Class

You've never seen McJim this way. The popular Filipino leather goods brand has been imposing itself in the lifestyle accessories market utilizing local crafted products while looking world class, I can't say I'm surprised.

I have personally used leather bags, wallets, belts in the past and true enough, they have lasted years for me. The secret I think is the classic design, things that do not age or go out of style even if it's not in season. It's things that still match your wardrobe even if you wear something funky, something crazy, sexy, cool or classy. It's the ability to look good regardless of your mood swings, because it can stand on it's own.

McJim leather belts on the other hand comes with brown, modern black and reversible buckles, so you don't even have to make an effort to wear similar clothing, no matchy matchy themes because it can adapt to your style no matter how much you change tops or bottoms throughout the day.

I recently also changed wallets and even if I paid a little less than branded ones, I know my black McJim wallet would last a long time. In the looks department, I know I'm not shortchanged at all becaus I've always known that the Filipino brand McJim has always been world class.

Didn't you feel that when you had one? I'm sure you do!

New Ride Hailing App HYPE to Launch Soon!

The Philippines is about to get better TNVS services as new player HYPE enters the market. Hype Transport brings an option, they know consumers need a choice and they are bringing this all Filipino app in the forefront of TNVS. As of now, they are allowed to register about 65,000 units on their system. They prefer loyal drivers but are totally open for existing members of other TNVS apps as long as they are not blacklisted by other corps or LTFRB. Registration starts online and walkins are being entertained in their small office in Makati but they're planning to put one up in Mandaluyong pretty soon.

John Coduris Chief Tech Officer of Hype "We prepared this since October, all the papers and requirements were worked on since that date. We have more capable programmers, we have pooling and vehicle choices, the commision is competitive which means from 20% to 5% and depends on the trips that the driver takes. Website is at hypetransport.com and you can find us at hype pilipinas on all social media channels." 

COO Jennifer Silan of Hype says "We will be very strict with the process of accreditation, training the drivers, we look at the physical condition of the cars, log on on hypetransport.com and become a partner. We will schedule trainings and it will be available online. We have registered up to 5,000 cars already, we follow the mandate of LTFRB in choosing cars. We accredit nationwide but will only launch Manila, other cities will follow. No multiple drops yet but it is in the works. During the launche we will provide promo codes and will do the grand launch on the 27th. On May 26, we will be sponsoring a segment on Eat Bulaga, please wait for that."

Nick Escalante Hype's CEO says "We hope we will be part of the solution, to be a partner of drivers and operators, and also the riding public. Our approved rate is competive because it's a flat rate of 40 pesos, and also low rates per kilometer. We do have surge, but only allowed 2.0. We also have a competitive commision, as accorded by the number of trips that the driver takes. You can book us using text, even without data you can book through us. It's no charge to the user at all. We have sms, voice, messaging, hopefully less than a minute communication so passengers would be safe. Hype will be strict on cancellations, block them or suspend, right now we do not have cancellation fees, perhaps 50 pesos later on but we are still looking at it. If the cancellation is done with the driver, it will pay off the customer. LTFRB has approved us, May 19 is the exact date where everybody can download it on Google Play and the App Store, but would be able to use it on the 28th."

Now isn't this good news? Go download the app or register as their partner driver on the dates mentioned. The event on the 27th is open to the public and they will be revealing their celebrity endorser, give away raffle prizes on that day. Make sure you're there okay?

I'll download it as soon as it's available on ios.

Restored Classic Films Showcased in Trinoma and Greenbelt

It's been a while since I've seen Maricel Soriano on screen, but it all was grand when I got to see her film "Ikaw Pa Lang Ang Minahal" remastered and in full digital format at Trinoma Mall a few days ago. It's the last day today and if you haven't seen it yet, I hope you do because it's the last day today April 24.

This is a project spearheaded by ABSCBN's Film Restoration Project in partnership with Ayala Malls. Tickets only cost Php 220 but can be discounted to Php 180 if you are a student. During the premier of this remastered film, they unveiled the new movie poster and true enough this Maricel Soriano and Richard Gomez starrer was just so gorgeous on screen. They have worked a lot on color grading, touching texture, even the music from Ryan Cayabyab. There are other titles which will be shown aside from this and I'd be glad if they extended this run.

The evening was star studded as cast members from the movie, even those behind the scenes made us all eagerly watch this film which Maricel Soriano laments "“Maraming salamat sa ABSCBN and I love how they restored it. This is one of the most amazing films even if I didn’t win all the awards, I am happy it made me more hungry to learn and do more films. I hope the future generations get to see this masterpiece.”

Again if you haven't catched these movies, there will more soon. ABSCBN

and Ayala will make sure you have a place to watch these really good movies!
