Rhian Ramos endorses Samsung Galaxy Y Netphone Edition

Leave a reply

For the past few days, Kapuso actress Rhian Ramos is actively twitting (@whianwamos) with the hashtag #smartnetphone. Some of her followers were asking her if she’s the new endorser of the Samsung Galaxy Y Netphone Edition. She kept on teasing them.

CONFIRMED!!! Rhian Ramos is the face of Smart’s Samsung Galazy Y Netphone Edition. It is also one of the new TVC’s of SMART featuring the new logo. I think her viral Super Bass video with Moymoy Palaboy is a big factor on why SMART chose her to be the celebrity endorser of the Samsung Galaxy Y edition. Add the fact that she’s a natural techie and she loves to tweet a lot… no matter if these are tweets about her showbiz commitments, replies to her fans or even the personal (and juicy?) status updates hehe 😛

On Sam Pinto, the Azkals and Unboxing SMART Netphone 701

5 Replies

After years of ‘avoiding’  mobile phone trends, I finally own an Android phone – the Netphone 701 from Smart!

Can I confess something? I have a love and hate relationship with technology. I love it because it makes things easier for us. I also hate it at times because it makes things easier for us. Am I making sense here? Hehe.

Unboxing Smart Netphone 701

Anyway, I am a loyal postpaid subscriber of SMART for 8 years now. Thanks to my mom for handing the responsibility to me. Although they do have a rule that a subscriber can get a new phone via retention plan every two years, I am not so proud to say that the last phone I claimed was my N70 in 2007. What pushed me to finally claim it was when my phone got stolen while I am in a free concert in Araneta Coliseum. I am too attached with my personal belongings and I hated the person who stole that phone. I saved some of my dad’s messages in that sim card and poof! phone gone in just a snap.

Enough with the sentimental stuff 😛 Most of my friends use Android phones while I settle with my old phone. I have another mobile phone which I used in the UK early this year and I am using it only here at home as my music player hehe. I’d rather use a simple phone to avoid snatchers in public places.

My SMART LTE Testing Experience in Boracay

7 Replies

When I stayed in England for three months, I can say that I was pampered with fast internet connection. It is the main reason why my homesickness was cured. Most of my Filipino friends were able to watch their favorite teleseryes online and they usually have this habit of doing live video streamings or webcam sessions with relatives and loved ones. I can also upload photos and videos in just a snap no matter how large my files are.

Last Saturday, I was invited to participate at the SMART LTE Testing in Boracay together with bloggers Fritz, Nina and Winston. I am a subscriber of Smart for more than five years and being one of the first one to try this new fourth-generation (4G) network. Some blogger friends of mine were able to attend in the first and second leg of the SMART LTE testing and all of them were claiming that it is the fastest internet connection they ever experienced in the Philippines. Hmmm… time for me to test and see. Before the trip, I already envisioned a great day – Doing my online tasks with a more reliable internet connection and speed as I enjoy the fantastic view of Boracay. 🙂 Those who would like to keep their internet data secure may buy Mobile proxies when connected to their phone’s data network.

Noon at Ngayon: The Evolution of Technology

Usong-uso ngayon sa social networking site na Twitter ang larong #NoonNgayon. Sa pamamagitan nito, nagpapalitan ng mga kuro-kuro ang ilan sa mga kababayan natin na inihahambing ang pagkakaiba ng ilan sa mga bagay na ating ginagamit o pamamaraan ng paggawa ng mga bagay-bagay noon sa ngayon. S’yempre, malaki ang kontribusyon  ng teknolohiya rito. Obvious naman, ‘di ba? 😀

Bilang isang batang lumaking adik sa pag-iinternet, naglista na rin ako ng ilan sa mga bagay na na-obserbahan kong nagkaroon ng malaking pagbabago sa nakalipas na taon:

Globe Tattoo Broadband: Perfect For Your Blogging Needs!

6 Replies

A few months ago, I was ‘kidnapped’ together with other bloggers by Globe. We originally thought we have to attend a formal press launch of Globe’s latest service since they required us to ‘dress to impress’, but we were surprised when they asked us to ride in the van and we all headed to a bar somewhere in Makati for the launch of Globe Tattoo. It was a fun-filled event wherein some prizes were given away.

One of the highlights of the event is the launch of Globe Tattoo Broadband. A few weeks after, some of my blogger friends got their own wireless broadband and so far, the reviews from them are good including one from Blogie Robillo, who is a blogger based in Davao. He is satisfied with Globe Tattoo Broadband since he was able to install the USB without much effort and you can use it not only in Metro Manila, but even in Mindanao! He also gave the following tips:
