Fibr: Home's Most Powerful Broadband

If you were a character in the Hunger Games, how would you use Fibr to help you train to win the pageant?

Troubled victor Haymitch Abernathy is my favorite character in the Hunger Games. If I were Haymitch, besides being a middle-aged drunk, I can be a better mentor using Fibr.

Being Haymitch, I'd constantly struggle coming out of my alcoholic stupor long enough to even coach Katniss and Peeta to victory. So Fibr, being Home's most powerful broadband, will help me maximize this little precious time because it would allow me to seamlessly and simultaneously browse multiple websites - to research on the opponents and use the internet's social media platforms to set up my tributes' alliances and later on get sponsorships for them - and stream hundreds of blockbuster movies on-demand from Clickplay - to watch back and study the other tributes' games. Then we can devise a gameplan and prepare Katniss & Peeta for the 75th Hunger Games.

It's a very depressing job coaching tributes and usually just watching them die, but Fibr will greatly increase my chances of keeping Katniss and Peeta alive.

P.S. I'll be watching the 75th Hunger Games through Fibr's Cignal Digital TV channels.


Fibr is available now in over 800 fiber-powered Victor's villages nationwide.

OneRepublic LIVE in Manila #OneRepublicMNL

OneRepublic is back!

Their new album is on point. It's like the bomb! I can only hope to watch my musical hero Ryan Tedder's band LIVE when they come to Manila this November. 

Brought to you by Midas Promotions.

OneRepublic released their 3rd studio album "Native" last March on Mosley Music Group/Interscope Records & it debuted at #4 on the Billboard Top 200 chart. Praise has poured in for the album with Entertainment Weekly aptly describing it as "...soaring evangelical choruses of prescription strength goosebump inducers like 'Feel Again' and 'If I Lose Myself'" and  The Associated Press stating "frontman Ryan Tedder's falsetto is superb throughout the new offering, which bleeds with emotion & substance." 

OneRepublic will hold a concert on November 6 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum as part of their Native World Tour. 

My mom is probably gonna grow to love the band since I'm gonna put on my 5 favorite tracks Counting Stars, If I Lose Myself, Feel Again, What You Wanted & Burning Bridges all the time.

Glad to be Globe

While a lot of the people I follow on twitter rant about their #neverending problems with #Globe and how frustrated they were and how they wanna switch to Smart... I am just #GladToBeGlobe. 

One day, my twitter timeline was filled with tweets badmouthing #Globe.

Hate RTs about Globe, to my dismay, by one of my fave travel bloggers.

Strange how they complain about their coverage, and I don't.

I wasn't all for doom and gloom thoughts about my mobile network provider, so what I did was...

Unfollowed...because he hated Globe and I didn't.

I'm happy with my mobile network provider. #Globe hasn't given me a reason to feel otherwise. And I hope they wouldn't.

Transform yourself with Schick

If I were Superman, I'd use his superspeed and superstrength to find every parent/guardian a babysitter (or do all the babysitting himself!); power of flight to send our grandparents to their nearest moviehouse; superspeed again to break the time barrier and help the yuppies finish their workload; super-intelligence to get all the students' homeworks done... so they could all have time to see Man of Steel in the cinemas and act like 10 again.

But they can't expect me to give them free passes! Abuso na din pag ako pa magbabayad ng tickets nila.

I'd do this for a week. Yes I would.

And Man of Steel will break box-office records!

But amidst all the flying and stuff, Superman's real super power was maintaining a perfectly shaved face. How does he shave? Very simple. The same way I do. Super strength and by using a Schick razor.

Schick. Free your skin.

Nokia Lumia 920 hands-on

Nokia’s upcoming Windows Phone 8 smartphone, the Lumia 920, has got bright eyes - comes with an 8-megapixel PureView camera. Check out my impressions of the phone below:

I go hands-on with Nokia Lumia 920 at Abenson Shangri-la Plaza (Ground Floor).

It's bigger but thinner than its predecessor, the Lumia 900. Its polycarbonate body holds the 1.5 GHz dual-core Krait processor, Adreno 225 GPU, 1GB of RAM and all the brilliant enhancements brought by WP8, making UI navigation smooth and fast. This beauty has topnotch display quality thanks to its 4.5-inch (768 x 1280, 332 ppi) PureMotion HD+ IPS display. Also supports wireless charging. The Lumia 920 is heavier (185g) than the Galaxy Note II (183g), if that’s even a problem at all.

While the 8MP PureView is a downgrade of Nokia 808's camera, it still captures the best photos I've seen from smartphones. Well, what the heck, it's PureView technology we're talking about.

Nokia Lumia 920 PureView specs:

4.5-inch 720p display PureMotionHD+ @ 1280×768 pixels

Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 1.5GHz dual-core, Krait processor

Adreno 225 GPU

1GB RAM

32GB internal storage

8MP rear camera, LED flash

1080p video recording

2,000mAh Li-Ion battery

LTE

NFC

Windows Phone 8

The Lumia 920 will be available in white, black, grey, red and a bold yellow color. The smartphone isn't available until April and no details on local pricing as of yet. 

Nokia Lumia 920 and Nokia Lumia 820 camera testing.

Both take awesome shots, but the Lumia 920's PureView camera undoubtedly does it better. Takes photos much faster than the Lumia 820 and focusing is more accurate.

 Also consider its closest match: Nokia Lumia 820 

The Lumia 820 has the same processor, GPU and RAM as the Lumia 920 so UI navigation is as smooth and snappy. It is lighter and a bit thinner than the Lumia 920.

Nokia Lumia 820 specs:
4.3″ AMOLED display with ClearBlack @ 480×800 pixels
Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 1.5GHz dual-core, Krait processor
Adreno 225 GPU
1GB RAM
8GB internal storage
microSD support
8MP rear camera, LED flash
1080p video recording
1650mAh Li-Ion battery
LTE
NFC
Windows Phone 8

PLDT myDSL’s best commercial for me is…

Derek’s Anna Banana Song: 

Derek got busted: 

Aria is the new Anna Banana!: 

Booster, the Lost Dog: 

Personally I think PLDT myDSL’s best commercial in the Anna Banana series is Booster, the Lost Dog. It shows how the Lorenzos come together with a reliable family-sized connection and sharing at home.

The ad is about a missing dog named “Booster” owned by the Lorenzo family. Daddy David even created a Facebook page for the beloved family pet and easily became the talk of the town. It was later announced that the dog was reunited with the Lorenzos. Happy ending.

This new myDSL commercial tells the full story. Daddy David sings, along with the whole family and the new Anna (Aria Carino), his apology to mommy Berns for leaving the gate open and losing Booster. They all sang the love song online, which proves myDSL enables everyone to enjoy unlimited sharing at home. Great value too, with one internet connection for the whole family.

The lyrics tells the tale in a charming and catchy way:

DEREK: 'Coz you're mad at dad. But he feels bad,

ANNA (ARIA): He forgot to lock the gate and the dog went running,

DEE DEE: He got lost and you got cross,

DAVID: Don’t be mad forgive me, baby.

Your home deserves unlimited sharing from the strong, reliable, family sized connection of myDSL. The strongest connections are at home, so visit www.pldthome.com to get your family connected today!

Good taste, great pairings with San Miguel Lifestyle Brews

There's more to San Miguel Lifestyle Brews pairings than posh diners and pricey cuisine! It can be as ordinary as stocking up the beer fridge, then poppin' one open and chuggin' it down after a long day, or serving it to a visiting guest; pairing it with whatever's available. Let me break this culture of class in brewski, and present San Miguel Premium All-Malt Beer, San Miguel Super Dry and Cerveza Negra on a different and inexpensive light. LOL.

Here, I've compiled in a slideshow my suggested San Miguel Beer lifestyle brews pairings with affordable easy-to-find fave fare. 



Any dish tastes better when you have a nice, cold beer to wash it down with, I must say! 

Beer is all about camaraderie and good company, but could also mean peace of mind and alone time. What better way to enjoy these simple things in life than with a refreshing San Miguel Lifestyle Brew - a high-quality choice of beer that just turns an ordinary drinking experience into something special!

Drink responsibly!
