You Can Transfer Funds for Free with GCASH

I'm sitting here in a coffee shop rushing for articles I should have made last week because the big construction chores at home had me occupied... I couldn't finish em all. Since it is also the end of the month, I also need to pay bills and do bank errands. Even though my bank is near, I really don't have time to go there and line up for hours. It's been that busy, but di you know you can transfer funds for free with GCash?

We all wished for banking convenience and these days, going physically to the bank would cost transportation, countless hours wasted queueing, when you could have just be productive at home. It's amazing that they have apps now that could do banking transactions these days that you can do stuff at home or anywhere you have an internet connection. Bank owned apps though only get you limited and if you need to do transactions elsewhere, that would take so much effort. What about transferring funds? Would I need to personally go to banks here in my hood then go to another one 5 miles away just to do it because my app doesn't care? Do I have to suffer the same fate as countless Filipinos do in lines across the country? Maybe we all need to learn from GCASH.

GCash to Bank and Bank to GCash transfers cost free

GCASH now has the ability to trasnfer funds from GCASH to bank and bank to GCASH too. The catch? There's no catch because doing it is completely FREE. You get a hold of your time and you don't have to waste time sitting in the bank for hours waiting for hundreds of numbers to be called because this thing is instantaneous, it's crazy true! They've also got about 37 banks on their system and you could do even more if you link in your accounts in the app, no need to change numbers either because GCASH can work with Globe and other networks. Instapay is in its backbone which is an amazing Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas service, all safe and secure.

They even email you details of your transaction. It normally takes seconds to reflect on your account.

I see a glimpse of hope in a country I've felt so hopeless with in the past few years. Hearing news like these makes it easy for any citizen to work efficiently, spend precious time to worthy things and save a lot of people from the stress of banking. 

How about that?

Pinoy Big Brother OTSO, Starhunt and Housemates

Sat in the back to see these ladies and gents tell their stories in front of media and online viewers. I couldn't ask questions because everybody else did, so here's some photos from the press conference for your enjoyment!

Then we had the guys come in. Maybe we will see the big 4 later.

SHAZAM! Meals Now Available at DC Cafe

When you hear that bolt of lightning hitting the man with the red suit and gold trims, this superhero comes to mind. SHAZAM! is also going to have his own movie, and what better way to celebrate that but by having his own desgined meals at popular DC CAFE in SM Megamall's Fashion Hall.

The place is full of DC Comic memorabilia and this month, they're paying homage to one of the most prolific superheros that the DC universe ever had, Elton John might be a little envious because SHAZAM! is here!

This new movie is Directed by David Sandberg, starring Asher Angel who plays Billy Batson, a boy who turns into an adult superhero played by Zachary Levi. It is based on the comic series Adventures of Captain Marvel.

Now what better way to celebrate this but by bringing out good food based on the hero. Check it out!

Strength of Hercules Baby Back Ribs - placed in sous vide for 18 hours, with their own dry rub and barbecue sauce, this talks sweet and savory. For protein freaks, you will be satisfied with this, but don’t forget to share and order other things on the menu.

Courage of Achilles Honey Butter Drumstick - For kids and kids at heart, this would surely be a hit. Crunchy fried chicken doused with honey butter sauce, it’s so good that I ate a lot of it. You don’t need ketchup anymore because the flavor it comes with is sufficient. You’ll have the courage to taste the other dishes too.

Power of Zeus Grilled Pork Chop - When you need to pack something heavy, or just plain hungry, I suggest you get this pork chop. It’s grilled and served with a side of mashed potatoes and lightly sautéed veggies. You’ll be full in no time.

Wisdom of Solomon Beef Kebab - Two huge chunks of beef kebab served with warm pita bread, tomatoes and onions. It reminds me of the middle east, expect intense beefy flavor.

Speed of Mercury Macaroni Soup - if you’re a bit under the weather or require something hearty and comforting on a cold day, try this Macaroni soup. It will put you in a good mood fast, paired with a slice of toasted baguette with liver pâté, your husband will love you if you start it off good. 

Stamina of Atlas Mango Float - a very fancy presentation with expected simple and sweet/tangy fruit flavor. I love that it is fresh and not overly sweet, makes good guilty dessert for sugar evaders like me. A perfect finish to your lunch or dinner.

With the gods lovely talent behind every meal, you’ll get to experience your own superpower when you dine at DC Cafe. Again, it is located at the 4th floor of SM Megamall’s Fashion Hall. The movie will also be screened on April 3, 2019 at the mall’s IMAX Theater, perfect place to watch it right? Mellow 94.7 is giving away tickets for screening the movie, maybe you can score tickets there.

See you at DC Cafe!
