Ginebra Outs Pia Wurtzbach as 2019 Calendar Girl

Cheers to life's best moments!

So yesterday was a lot of fun because I had to rush from Matteo and Carlo's concert presscon to Shangri-la Edsa for Ginebra's event. They only gave a couple of clues about who or what they were launching but everyone pretty much knew who it was because she's definitely the first person you'll think of when you hear the word UNIVERSE. 

Unlike the heavenly bodies, this one is human - and divine. She made the country proud last 2015 as she emerged victorious during the Miss Universe pageant in Las Vegas. She's no other than the gorgeous Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach. In the event, she uttered how her story unfolded before millions of people around the world.

She came from very humble beginnings, went through hardships and had to work so she could fend for herself and her family. She tried joining pageants and didn't get to win a couple of times but pursued the dream of becoming the best version of herself. Ultimately winning the crown in the most controversial way, but fitting for the universe's most beautiful woman.

Now, another one of her dreams came true. She's now the face of Ginebra San Miguel and in glorious fashion as she utters "I am now in the best shape of my life." We saw how she's really worked hard on her body. From now until early next year, you will have the chance to see the most beautiful woman in the world (next to your Mom and Wives) donning the calendar for Ginebra as they say "Para sa ganado sa buhay!" (For those who are winning in life!).

You can get them in local suppliers, stores, and just about any place til supply lasts. Much like the jerseys these run out fast so go check them out now!

Go stick that on your rooms wall bro!

AOC/Philips Outlook on Monitor Market in the Philippines

Philips/AOC Launches E and V Line of Monitors

This is something you would want to look forward to if you are an ESport fan or just working in your office cubicle. AOC and Philips just launched a new line of monitors that would be perfect for your gaming needs or even professional use. I often use them in spreadsheets and real time monitoring of social media so I’m not new to their brand.

“Good morning everyone, thank you for coming to our event. We’ll give you an overview of what we released this month. The global market from 2010 to 2018 is declining together with personal computers, but this year we grew 1.5% prolly because of ESports which is going to be part of the Olympics pretty soon. A lot of people are into ESports, even establish school labs. The growth is attributed to us in the non bundle market, we do not have laptops or desktops but have a lot of government shipments worldwide who want us to be part of their system. It’s not because of business doing well on unbundled LCD monitor market, but a large part of this is the Department of Education project. The market is better than other countries who do double digit drops, the forecast is promising though because it is still 35% market share. This is why we are bringing in new products in the market, to see how we get new products aside from monitors.” Kan Yeung of AOC/Philips said.

Regional Product Manager of Philips Paul Tsai says “We want more market share in the Philippines, while delivering Professional, Performing Product. Better is always happening and we want life to be better than before... and these monitors look better. Better contrast value, you see more details, vivid color, better brightness, like HDR so you can see something as close as what your eyes can see in the real world. Your monitors, devices, xbox, ps4, chromecast and Roku all have HDR and other standards in the market. They provide this and is the next big thing of displays. The new generation of Philips monitors are the 1st Vesa PC HDR 400 certified 4K2K Display. It’s got superb video quality, DTS Surround Sound and much like a theater. It’s got better color even on our Ultra Wide Color E9 because of it’s vivid true to life colors and gets higher number of colors, wider color gamut which happens only on our ultra wide color monitors. We also have them with more curvature ratio, uses AMD FreeSync for smoother gameplay. This can be also used for commercial purposes, it’s reliable even in a hostile call center environment. We also have the new V7 model to protect your eyes (flicker free) which is good for businesses that use it all day long. It’s also got edge to edge glass so you see a lot on your documents in an office setting. It’s better performance, design and applications, all from Philips monitors. (They are referring to V Line Model Number 223V7QHSB, the E Line Model Number 248E9QHSB and 328E9QJAB)”

For those who want a piece of the monitors, Philips and 20th Century Fox also has just partnered up, so every purchase of 24 Inch monitors (and up) will get them a free ticket for BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY at the Directors Club in SM Megamall , 8:30PM and will be legendary. This will be shown on October 31. Philips hopes to rock your world in Cebu and Davao too, and it will happen very soon!

Congratulations in your launch AOC/Philips!

Watsons Wish You A Merry Christmas

It's Christmas season once again and if you haven't seen it yet, our lovely friends from Watson's has got some holiday cheers to spread so they got this video published on their Facebook page just recently.

Their wish for you this year is simple, a great Christmas and a Healthy New Year as accorded by the video. You know how much they have helped tons of Filipinos just by being there, giving us choices when we need it, when the cost of medicine is sky high on some other stores, then they have it at a lesser price, some even on their Watsons Generics line that I use until now.

Watsons also accept SM Gift cards and GC's so it is convenient for me even if I don't have that much cash with me. The other day, they even gave me 50 pesos off on vouchers issued just at their Mother Ignacia branch, so that saved me a lot!

Just like these folks on the video, you will experience Watsons either in SM branches or stand alone shops near you. If you want to know more about their Christmas campaign, make sure you like their Facebook page and social media channels because it's all there!

Tim Hortons Double Choco Creep Donuts

My family in Manitoba got the shock of their life when they learned that Tim's is actually here in the Philippines. I wouldn't blame them because we are in a tropical climate but since they are a global brand, it wouldn't be a good idea to leave us out on having the great donuts, coffee and just about any of the sweet treats they have off the kitchen. This Halloween isn't going to be a let down as they introduce something good for those who would want a fright.

Tim Hortons just came out with their Double Chocolate Creep donuts. The donut and donut hole combo made to look like spiders is just so good to pair with a cup of coffee, don't pass on the double doubles if the kind counter guy or lady offers you one. 

It's packed and baked fresh every day and by golly this donut I got from them was just absolutely filling and surprisingly not too sweet, perfect for me who is trying to cut down on sugar intake and just wanted to have a piece or two. I am not even joking.

Ooh and yes if you've got kids they won't be jumping around that much because of the sugar high, so good job Tim's! Now make that holiday special by getting these chocolate loving dream donuts that match every arachnophobe's dream. I also saw some really cool stories they have on their Facebook page so they'll take care of you too. Go get creepy with the donuts today please!

I'll have to get my Double double later, I'll take care of this one first. Nomnomnom.
