Closeup x Shopee Deals to Prove #LoveBuildsLove

I had the chance to have a date a few days ago. Honestly, I've been working hard during these hard times and I barely had the time to do that. It felt really good, and reconnecting, was something I needed. Both of us while having dinner were having anxiety attacks at first, but I felt safe after a few servings of USDA Beef and a long chat. 

I was also given a cow laden glass and wind chimes. It was a small gesture, but it meant a LOT. In that moment, I felt loved and appreciated. I wish I had the same thing going on in my mind and did the same, that would have been amazing. I just bought pastries to take home and dinner, which I hope communicated the same. These small things, it makes a ripple of love and just like a lot of people, I appreciate that.

Chinese New Year Treats from Shopee

 

 

The Year of the Metal OX or Cow is my year and with that, comes a lot of time to actually chill because we're pretty much confined in our homes because of the pandemic. We're taking treats seriously and online shopping is part of that. So I'm here to give you some pointers on what to get before you watch movies and chill.

Here's a few things you should take advantage of while buying stuff on Shopee.

To watch a movie, you need a Smart TV. This is the time to get one especially if Shopee has vouchers and free delivery. You can get this ACE 32 Inch Smart TV here. I'm using one right now at my room and it's done wonders for me and my gaming console.

Relax a bit with this INTEX Chair and Ottoman. If you want something to make your sitting experience a little better when you're on the floor, this could be it. Get one here.

Cook everything on an airfryer, it's easy, you can clean it fast, and it's a whole lotta healthy. Get this Kyowa Air Fryer here for only Php 3,500. Thank me later.

It's the opportune time to thank people and with this Tikoy, it can be done. It's cheap too so no worries about getting it by bulk. Spread good luck and fortune for your friends and family.

This popcorn maker is legendary. I've used one since I was a kid and the butter flavor is phenomenal because you do melt real butter for it. Get the Popcorn Maker here.

If you wanna cook, here's a Chinese Wok. Fast  fry, saute stuff, and get this Wok here.

Oh by the way, Shopee Pay also now has an Ang Pao feature. You can send money via the app and make someone else very happy with your gift. This would be good for Chinese New Year celebrations, and the time is now!

Now no need to stress over things, go download the Shopee app and get these chill essentials today!

Hello Stranger The Movie, Worth It!

Just got off the "Hello Stranger: The Movie" Premiere Night. 

This is the hit BL series that Blacksheep Productions showed on YouTube for several weeks starring Tony Labrusca and JC Alcantara. The love story of Xavier and Mico continues and starts where they left off in the series. Structurally, to go straight to the point, it's a very good movie but there might be a few misses in the beginning. Just like a diesel engine it had to warm up as it had to establish things after what happened to them in the series. They also had to give time re-drawing the connections, but after that, they introduced the conflicts of the story. Now we don't want to spoil who that is and what they did, but I agree that it's not petty.

Aside from the main actors they will be telling a little side story for the character of Vivoree (Kookai) which I think adds a little flavor. Though not really connected to the main plot, it's something that happens in real life, so you still get something out of it.

After the premiere, JC Alcantara cried happily and said "Thank you to my Blacksheep family, this was the opportunity I always prayed for. I am just so thankful!"

Tony Labrusca on the other hand lauded the men and women behind the show, he mentions "Props to everybody who took part to do this movie. This is such a special project for us, to be part of one of the first BL series, I just hope you just enjoyed. Thank you for supporting us!"

 

Is this worth your money? YES. Especially if you are a fan of the series so you would know how their story ends. It's a movie that is not too stressful, very light, and it's got really nice stories in between. There's also talk about family, relationships, and love, which we all need at this time. Now go get a ticket off of KTX.PH. Tony and JC made an effort to tell you more about the realizations of Xavier and Mico, will it be worth all the hurt and pain?

You have to know. 8/10, worth every cent. I'm a huge fan.

Paymaya Launches PAYMAYA MALL

Mark Dee Head of Growth and Marketing Partnerships

Something big happened this morning as cashless payment king Paymaya just announced something innovative that will happen in their app. They call it Paymaya Mall. This one stop shop will place all their partner merchant stores in one place so if you need to buy anything, you can visit their sites through the app and pay for it digitally.

Mark Dee says "Over the past year, we have seen millions of Filipinos do online shopping despite the quarantine. The regular groceris, essentials, food and drinks have been on top of the list. Even malls and shops have closed and online market places have sprouted and ecommerce are being utilized for businesses to run. Paymaya has been there for payment systems, today, we're proud to present to you the Paymaya Mall. We're bringing your favorite merchants together in one place so you get the convenience straight to your phones. We are now bringing our merchant partners to 28 Million Paymaya users nationwide. You can get the best value with cashless transactions using the app. Food, retail, sport, groceries, fashion, and now it's easier to browse and see which merchants and stores already cater to Paymaya as their payment system nationwide. There are no extra costs in being part of the Paymaya Mall for our partners. Our mission has always been financial inclusion for all. The experience is super enhanced with what Paymaya can only offer."

Maya (their official mascot) showed us several brands including McDonalds Philippines, Mercury Drug, Landers, Goldilocks, Rose Pharmacy, and a whole lot more. Merchants don't have to pay a fee to be included here, which means it is a good thing for businesses. Since it's Chinese New Year, Paymaya is starting it right with a P880 cashback on purchases in the PayMaya Mall. If you spend Php 300 using your PayMaya mobile number, you get 20% cashback of up to P88 per transaction. And you can do this 10 times but only til March 15, 2021. If you do it all, you'll get Php 880 in in cashbacks. Isn't that huge? Well, that's not all, because they've got 500 off your first Pick.A.Roo order if you enter the code PAYMAYAROO on the app. Aside from that, you can enjoy 12% off on Rustans purchases, a 5% discount on Boozy (they've got tons of drinks) among other perks inside the mall.

As the country's leading financial provider, this is one way to push for cashless payments in the country. These merchants must be exposed with their 28Million customers that Paymaya also has online and this positions them as the most rewarding finance related app and brand in the country. Delivery fees will still be in the merchant partners and can be paid in the Paymaya app.

This is the most rewarding payment system today as they have Balik Bayad which returns part of your payments instantly. There are several offers and discounts which you can also get today, if you have not seen it yet, you better check the app and go visit the Paymaya Mall.
