How To Help Typhoon Ulysses and Rolly Victims

It was so heartbreaking to see people fleeing, stuck in their roofs or crossing mud filled waters in the island of Luzon which all happened this month. People are still suffering so I wanted to just help those who would like to extend a hand and give information about these avenues where you can help donate clothes, food, water, funds so they could all recover.

 Our friends from Bloggers United are collating funds and also selling their personal stuff (preloved and brand new) to raise funds for this cause. Here are their details, Paul Pax and Ana are good blogger friends and they've been doing other causes even before this happened. If you want to help, this would be a good place to start!

Aside from that, there are several partner organizations that PayMaya has been working with for Typhoon Relief which you can find via https://donate.paymaya.com/collections/typhoon-relief 

 

 

You can donate as low as 50 pesos, but if you have more, please do donate as much as you can. These organizations have been doing it for years and they can channel your donations to where it is needed. If you haven't downloaded the PayMaya app yet, please do on Google Play or the App Store. Use my code 2JH7062 so you can get 50 pesos for free, you can use that to donate to these organizations too. I'll do the same if ever you sign up. If you use these QR codes to donate via their partner organizations, you will get a notification in the contact details you have provided regarding your successful donation.

If you prefer donating clean clothes, blankets, face masks, alcohol, bottled water, hygeine kits for women, toiletries, canned goods, flashlights, cleaning materials, you may opt to bring them here in Quezon City where an aircraft is bringing 500kgs of goods to Tuguegarao come Monday.You may contact Danica via 09566692843 then coordinate bringing your donations to #41 Maliksi St., Namoco Grand Residence, Brgy. Pinyahan, Diliman in Quezon City.

It is also world kindness day, so if you want to make someone's day even brighter, you can use the PayMaya app for a lot of other things. I would suggest you do donate to local churches, organizations of people you know. Southern Luzon, Marikina, Rizal and Cagayan still needs a lot of things especially potable water. 

 

GMA Kapuso Foundation also needs donations, you can course it through these channels and they will help victims of the Luzon typhoons.

 

 

Please donate as much as you can, they need our help.

OXGN Brings Upto 80% Deals On Shopee

It's been a while since we've covered an OXGN show. They've got the trendiest streetwear pieces, I actually have some of these in my wardrobe since they actually look cool and it fits my personality. I haven't had the chance to visit their physical store because of obvious reasons, the pandemic still exists and I'm quite afraid to go out just like everyone else in Manila. 

The good news is, OXGN has their own official store in popular online shopping app Shopee. What that means is, all their clothes are available online and can be easily ordered so all you have to do is wait at home til delivery arrives. Good news is, you can save a lot this season because OXGN is bringing some of their collection and putting it out with discounts of up to 80%. Sounds crazy? I know, but they're really serious about doing it only on the Shopee app. Streetwear doesn't have to be lousy, grungy, and can be done in very tasteful ways. They have fit tees with OXGN printed collars. It hugs the body and shows a little form when worn, you get a sense of sexiness even if it is streetwear. It also looks very premium because of the material and I think they really researched before putting it out there in their stores. Check out the things I found on the OXGN Official Store:

Ohh and don't get me started on the tons of collaborations they've done in the past. Aside from that, they also do design work with pop culture and iconic characters that are well loved by the youth. In this case, Naruto Shippuden. Just look at the nice Naruto and Sasuske shirts, plus these super nice jackets with huge prints on them. I mean, just look at that Akatsuki Kimono! Konoha will be so jealous we have these in the store!

 

If you get 2, you can get 10% off with these Naruto Shippuden x OXGN collab styles.

The shirts are not pricey too, and the jackets cost a little over a thousand bucks which by any standard is cheap for merch like that.

What I like about this is how unique they are, you can tell it's an OXGN piece just because its different. You look cool, because they've always gotten out nice clothes. If you haven't tried the Shopee app yet, go download it off Google Play or the App Store. Add to cart, checkout, pay for it and wait for it to arrive in your doorstep. Make sure you use the free delivery and discount vouchers so you can save more when you do shop at Shopee. I'm waiting for my haul this week, I kinda went overboard during 11.11. I can't wait to do 12.12 and get the rest of the things I want for my room and wardrobe. Surely, OXGN is going to be part of that now.

Planet Sports Carries Arena and Airwalk on Official Shopee Store

I've been a frequent shopper at Planet Sports in Trinoma, so much so I kinda know some of the names of the people in that store. Times have changed, and seeing the pandemic not ending anytime soon I was so happy to have found the Planet Sports Official store in popular online shopping app Shopee.

Now I'd be able to source all my sports equipment and clothing in the app itself, which I found very useful last 11.11, and pretty soon 12.12 as well. This season though, they're starting to carry two brands I adore. One is Arena, a competitive sports brand that does swimsuits, accessories including these lovely goggles which I could use for the condo swimming pool when I get my turn (there's a line LOL). Aside from that, they have these handy dandy Arena mesh bags which you can put your soiled or wet clothes in if you want to carry around something light.  

Back in college, all my shirts were from AirWalk. I initially didn't see them in Shopee but recently, Planet Sports also started carrying them in their official store. The AirWalk Men's New Basic Canvas Sneakers Shoes are very light, a pair is affordable on the app and I could use several vouchers for free shipping and coins which would be deducted on total price purchase. For women, I suggest you take a look at the AirWalk Women's Jaden Sneakers Shoes because those are very light on the feet and comfy. It also doesn't break the bank because they're currently having a sale making it cost around a thousand bucks.

I made arrangements so it would be easier for you to spot the products here!

These are also pretty nice to give to people especially since we are near the holidays. I'm so glad Planet Sports launched these two brands on their official store, at least now I could source my favorites in their online shop. If you haven't downloaded the Shopee app yet, now is the time to do it as it is available in Google Play and the App Store.

 

  All I have to do is add to cart, pay for it and wait for it to arrive at the comforts of my home!

Call for Entries: AIA Philam Life Hackers 2020

 

 

I'm a Computer Engineer. I've spent quite a number of years studying, talking, living, doing the deed as a professional in that field and I love it. I'm no stranger to hacking, I'd consider myself as one of the good guys. I would consider myself lucky to actually land a job earlier than my batch because I got one even before I graduated. The path wasn't easy as I initially didn't have experience, nor did I learn much of practical knowledge and additional certifications I had to take so I could do what I do now. I didn't have a mentor who could teach me the ropes. I dived into books and the internet to get ahead of the pack, and it proved to be very fruitful that I could also talk a lot. I had to do that so I could harness technology, build a portfolio of innovative ideas so I could become someone that a company would find my credentials and use it for the greater good. I barely had opportunities to showcase that after graduating, but today I'm so glad to find out that AIA Philam Life is going to make dreams come true for college students nationwide (by forming a 5 person team, ages 18 and up) through AIA Philam Life Hackers 2020.

AIA Philam Life has always been keen on looking for talent who can do game changing solutions. On their sophomore year, they are holding AIA Philam Life Hackers 2020 with a goal is to help reach their goal of helping Filipinos live healthier, longer, better lives. What's up for grabs is a platform where you can battle it out with the best of the best students in the country, an internship at the country’s premier life insurance company, to learn from expert resource speakers, bring home Php 75,000 cash prize in each of the 3 categories (Best in Technology, Best in Marketing Solution, Best in Product Innovation) and the prestige of winning the biggest hackathon event in the Philippines.

 

Resource speakers include industry leaders Grace David who is the Marketing & Partnership Leader for edukasyon.ph, Joan Magno Product Expert for Canva and Martin Gonzales the Organizational Development and Start Up Leader for Google so be prepared to learn a lot if you qualify.

This would be an awesome way to make your ideas and projects into life. If you're interested, you may visit their official website www.lifeshackers.ph or their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/PhilamLifeAIA/.
