Special Shopping Treat from WeChat and Lazada Philippines

Lazada is one of my favorite online shopping hubs. In fact, I purchased a number of items from the site when they were relatively new in the Philippines.

WeChat-Lazada

Time flies really fast because the leading cyber shopping destination is celebrating their 2nd Anniversary today! To make things more exciting, they collaborated with WeChat, the leading social mobile app in Southeast Asia. Lazada and WeChat joined forces to make their subscribers happy with an exclusive deal. On a side note, for efficient business management, such a topnotch online store may have capitalized on services similar to the best llc service in maine.

And when cyber-related allegations arise, securing the assistance of a skilled computer crimes attorney with a strong record in such cases can be critical. These cases often involve nuanced technical details, which experienced legal professionals can address effectively, providing the best possible defense.

My Top 5 Favorite Yeng Constantino Hits

One of the challenges faced by graduates of reality-based singing contest is longevity. The viewers may root for you during the contest duration, but album and concert tickets sale determines if you’re bound to stay long in the business or be tagged as a ‘one hit wonder’.

Chat History BackUp Saves The Day

Technology. I have such strong love and hate relationship with it. Have you noticed how people rely too much on their gadgets to communicate or store files? As time goes by, the manual process of compiling files is slowly bidding farewell. From physical to digital, the transformation has its pros and cons.

One of the changes I observed from technology-dependent users is on how the panic when files get deleted by accident or some important chat conversations can’t be retrieved.

WeChat users have more reasons to cheer up due to the Chat History Backup feature. It saves chat conversation histories and for seven (7) days, you can restore them to any device.

What to do? The simple 3-step process of WeChat’s Chat History Backup starts with selecting “Settings” > “General” > “Chat History Backup” and then clicking “Back Up” for the conversations you’d like to store.

Summer Break is almost here! Tons of festivals and events are being promoted and organized all over the country. It is one way for us to socialize and meet new people with similar interests in terms of sports, music preference, hobbies and more. I recently installed WeChat 5.2 on my phone due to peer pressure (since most of my friends are active users) and I’m impressed with the new features, which suits my social communications needs!

1. Menu Bar

– The WeChat 5.2 Menu Bar is now divided into three sections with a clean look: Chats, Discover and Contacts. The Chats tab lets users continue with current conversations. On the other hand, Discover allows one to start new conversations. The Contacts section easily takes you to your Moments feed as well as options including Scan QR Code, Shake, People Nearby, Drift Bottle, Games, and Sticker Shop.

Cebu City: My Comfort Zone

Ayala Terraces Cebu at Night

Ayala Terraces Cebu at Night – The Only Tourist Photo I took

“I’m sure ilalagay mo sa blog mo na this is your pang-ilang chorva trip to Cebu sa Micamyx!” Sinjin said in jest as we watch Vhong Navarro’s controversial Buzz ng Bayan Interview.

Well, Sinjin’s right. This trip counts as my nth time in Cebu City. In the past five years, I’ve visited Cebu countless times. I’ve lost count!

Why did I visit Cebu this time? I don’t really know. Do I need a reason?

Remembering Coy Caballes a.k.a. CokskiBlue #ThankYouCoy

I logged on to my Facebook account while taking a break from work. I was shocked upon reading messages from my news feed that people are posting sympathies on a friend’s page. I haven’t been in touch with him for months now and I felt terribly sorry when I confirmed that Coy Caballes passed away.

I was speechless. All of a sudden, I was sobbing in tears and there’s a little feeling of regret that I didn’t keep in touch with him. In fact, the last chat conversation I had with him had something to do with me stressing him out with some business matters. Magulo. Hindi ko alam. Bakit? Bakit si Coy? Why of all people, ‘yun pang taong walang hinangad kundi tumulong at pasayahin ang mga taong nakapaligid sa kanya?

The ‘Ideal Couple Award’ Goes To….

Bilang estudyante sa kolehiyo, masasabi ko na napaka-idealistic ko. Hindi man ako naka-enroll sa isang bonggang unibersidad sa Maynila, hindi ako nagpatinag. Aba, kailangan mas maging palaban ako para makaangat sa buhay! Hindi ako masyadong pala-aral, pero gusto ko na habang maaga ay ma-expose na ako sa realidad ng tinatawag na ‘corporate world’. Bilang kamamamatay lang ng tatay ko at sadyang matigas ang ulo ko, nagtanong ako kung pwede na akong mag-OJT sa school.

The ideal couple back in college (2005)

Bago ko ilahad ang OJT story ko, iku-kwento ko muna ang ilan sa mga extra-curricular activities na pinag-kaabalahan ko noon. Una na r’yan ang LNU Dance Troupe. Isang taon lang ako tumagal dahil sa samu’t saring dahilan. Isa na rin sa rason kung bakit ako umalis ay ang pakikipag-kaibigan ko sa mga opisyal ng Student Government namin. Natutuwa ako kasi kahit na busy sila sa kani-kanilang kurso, nabibigyan nila ng oras at sapat na atensyon ang mga hinaing ng kapwa estudyante. Oo, gusto ko maging officer din sa Student Government ng Unibersidad namin. Sama ako ng sama sa kanila hanggang sa tawagin na akong saling-pusa. Meow.

 

Isa sa mga nakilala kong lider sa aming unibersidad ay si Ate Milagros. Kung tama ang pagkakatanda ko, siya ang sekretarya ng organisasyon. Kumukuha siya ng kursong Education at tuwing nakikita ko siya, palagi siyang busy. Either nagbabasa siya ng libro o nagtatayp sa kompyuter. Ang sipag!

Isang araw, nagkaroon kami ng bonding moment. Nandoon ako sa opisina nila. Imbes na tumambay kung saan at gumawa ng kalokohan, pinili kong ipagsiksikan ang sarili ko sa opisina nila. Napag-usapan namin ang usaping love life.

Ate, may boyfriend ka na?

2013: The Year of Transition

2013 is the year of transition for me. It is full of lessons learned, realizations (as always!) and I can say that I am stronger, determined and inspired.

In Blenheim Palace (Oxfordshire)

In Blenheim Palace (Oxfordshire)

Being in your mid-twenties isn’t easy. I also spent some nights thinking of what ifs and continued to question if I should pursue things or not. Too much thinking and weighing pros and cons bored me and made me frustrated so I decided to just do what I can.  Until one day, I figured out that being lazy is the main problem. I can be productive if I choose to! Maybe I just needed a little push.

Wait… this is becoming a serious year-ender now and it is not my intention! Here’s a little glimpse of my colorful 2013:

MMFF 2013: Why ‘10,000’ Hours Deserves All The Attention

The action-drama 10,000 Hours bagged 14 trophies from the recently-concluded Metro Manila Film Festival 2013 Awards Night. From the story to the technical aspects of the film, 10,000 Hours offers something new to the moviegoers (at least for the MMFF season).

10,000 Hours Movie Poster

My grandfather and I watched the movie. His curiosity about the Amsterdam scenes and the positive reviews he read convinced him to go to the cinema.

Robin Padilla is known as the ‘Bad Boy of Philippine Movies’ and as a kid, I remember watching his movies (hello, Baby Ama!) and he often starred in action flicks with pretty leading ladies to support him. He went to jail and got out as a changed man. Unlike most of his contemporaries, he widely embraced by his fans on his showbiz comeback and had done a number of sitcoms and action series on the major networks.

He had a number of movie attempts the past years, but it didn’t do well in the box-office. The theme of his films are good, but there was something lacking in the execution. He needed a project which will regain the interest of the new generation to Pinoy action films.
