Althea recently launched their own original product, and this would be the Althea Petal Velvet Powder. I got one for myself and I tested it out to see how it fares with my combination skin.

The Packaging:



I am so in love with the simple and cute packaging of Althea's newest product. It's a plastic container that looks like glass and has a mini powder puff. It's also got the manufacturing date but the downside is that this container only has 3 g of product. You can buy it at Althea Online Shop for Php 210.

“Just when everyone thought that selfies could not get any better comes a smartphone that’s not only best for capturing life-worthy moments, but is also very handy and trendy. It perfectly goes with anything and we can’t wait for everyone to get a hold of the hottest smartphone in town,” said Robi Domingo.

OPPO F3 Red is the ideal smartphone for users who want to create a statement through the smartphones they carry.

The OPPO F3 Red additionally has 4GB of RAM for multi-tasking and generous 64GB of storage for apps, photos, and videos; all in a sleek metal body and 5.5” Full HD screen protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5.

Acer launched "Acer Day" which was celebrated worldwide last August 3. In keeping with the theme of "Be Cool Everyday", Acer here in the Philippines transformed Glorietta Activity Center into one giant ball pit for a full day!



That is SO COOL. And trust me, playing in there was the best part.

“Acer Day was conceptualized to continually refresh and breathe new life into the brand, as well as to boost the public’s awareness and knowledge about Acer products,” shares Sue Ong-Lim, Sales and Marketing Director of Acer Philippines. “This year’s celebration is the first of many to come, and consumers can trust that it will only get better from here.”

The games in there were INSANE. There was a giant inflatable slide, "ball Volleyball", and a place where you can plunge your friend in a pit full of balls. In fact, for me it was pretty adrenaline pumping and yet calming as I got to drown all my sorrows in BALLS. Hahaha kidding aside, I thinke everyone who was there will tell you it was so much fun to feel like a kid once again.









The Glorietta Activity Center also served as the backdrop for various energetic performances by Basti Artadi and Kjwan, the UP Pep Squad and lively sets from famed DJs Euric and Nina.

Acer Day is the world’s leading computer brand’s first transnational and largest annual brand day event, which kicked off in 14 countries worldwide.







Did you know that Acer Day's stupendous opening date was particularly decided for an extraordinary reason, in that "eight-third" (Aug. 3) sounds like "Acer". Following this run, each August third later on will be Acer's image day, where crisp brand exercises and occasions will be acquainted with shoppers.


This year's theme of "Be Cool Everyday" is actually based and centered on Acer's AeroBlade™ 3D fan. Said AeroBlade™ technology enables the use of the world's thinnest metal fan blade, providing advanced aerodynamics and airflow performance to keep the system at a low temperature.




The “Acer Day” event website officially kicked off on July 21 and will stay live until October 3. Consumers can log in with social media accounts to participate in a total of 11 daily challenges, including memory puzzles, friend sharing games, and other fun challenges, to earn “Cool Points”. These Cool Points may then be exchanged for raffle tickets. Prizes include five (5) Acer Swift 7, one (1) Acer Spin 1, and three (3) Predator Helios 300, which will be drawn on October 11. \

More treats and exclusive deals will also be available for purchases made during Acer Day – check out the event website at www.acer-day.com/ph and the Acer Philippines Facebook Page at www.facebook.com/AcerPH for more information.

While waiting in the trains, or when rush hour comes in you are sure to still be connected because you can now enjoy Free Wifi along the stretch of EDSA-MRT!


We put the Edsa Free Wifi project to the test by using the OOKLA speedtest last July 6 to 7. The average download and upload speeds are 156.6Mbps and 135.8Mbps, respectively..
Ortigas station is recorded to have the fastest download speed at 325.48 Mbps. And Magallenes with the highest upoad speed at 310.57 Mbps. The total number of commuters able to connect to the Free Wifi - 230,000 of the 444,044 daily MRT-3 commuters access and connect to the EDSA Free Wi-Fi internet.

If ever you're wondering about the other stations, here are some of the records on where I usually stop:

• Taft Ave Stn.: download - 37.75 upload - 25.06 
• Ayala Station: download - 37.75 upload - 25.06 
• Ortigas Stn : download - 15.62 upload - 14.50

The target coverage of Edsa Free Wifi is 24 kilometers of EDSA; and the EDSA Free Wifi Project is in collaboration with:

•  NTC
• DOTr 
• MRT 3, Metro Rail Transit Development Corp., 
• Light Rail Transit Authority, 
• Light Rail Manila Corp., 
• Metro Manila Development Authority, 
• Department of Public Works and Highways, 
• Manila Electric Co., 
• Philippine Reclamation Authority, 
• the local government units of Makati, Mandaluyong, Pasay and Quezon City, 
• A&A, 
• PLDT-Smart and Globe 

It's official! Last night, Globe Telecom launched the 250 million Southeast Asia-United States (SEA-US) submarine cable system. This provides direct links between Davao and the United States for better and richer internet connectivity for businesses in Mindanao and the rest of the country.



Said SEA-US cable system is connected to the globe cable landing station in Brgy. Talomo, Davao City which also houses the Power Feed Equipment Necessary to run the system.

What does all this mean for us?

Outside of Luzon, the undersea cable is the first direct connection of Globe to the United States via Guam, Hawaii and California, offering faster transmission of data to the US.

This also serves as a reserve connection of internet connectivity in the country. With the internet as an important necessity in our lives nowadays, it is pretty much devastating when cables are broken due to earthquakes, which can result in isolation of the Philippines for a few days in terms of internet connectivity. This incident happened last 2006 along the lines of the Taiwan Earthquake zone, and with this facility, we can still be connected to the world even if a couple of cables are broken. :D

This post is WAY overdue. Hahahaha! Anyways, I was with Philippine Bloggers Network for their 2nd Digital Social Responsibility last April (Teh. August na. Anung petsa na!). They held seminars for the Youth and the LGUs of Cavinti, focusing on the topics like different Social Media Ettiquetes, how to capture the beauty of Cavinti through photography and a little bit of insider's note on Vlogging and Blogging.

Afterwards that, we got to tour around Cavinti with some of the youth that PBNet taught.


We stayed in a tent the day before, which was pitched near Lumot Lake at Cavinti Eco Extreme Adventure. From what I remember, if you want to rough it up you can do camping for 500/head + rental ata (I kinda forgot sorry... just click on their fb page above ayt?) The 500Php is sulit because they'll give you mattress inside the tent as well as pillows and bedsheets.

Cavinti Eco Adventure Park also offers Kubo rentals (and yes, you can sleep in them comfortably) and lots of activities, from kayaking, ATVs, visiting Japanese Garden tour, and visiting the Underground Cave of Cavinti, which I will be talking about in another post. :D

Banana Boats and jet skis and flying fish! YAS!

Testing out the ATV :D

So on to the adventures, we first went to a tour of Lumot Lake.

The 3rd Integrated Waste Management Expo and Environment Summit is happening on August 10-12, 2017 at SMX Aura, Taguig City. An initiative of the DENR - Environmental Management Bureau (EMB), the Expo aims to raise the bar of environmental awareness of consumers and beef up efforts in solving the rising problem of solid waste in Metro Manila and other urban areas in provinces across the country.

The 3rd Integrated Waste Management Expo and Environment Summit is open to the public, including government agencies and non-government organizations. The Expo offers various activities like forums, talks and workshops that bear interesting topics on environmental protection, renewable energy, sustainable livelihood, and updates on consumer goods that help save the earth.

The Expo aspires to heighten a proactive awareness on issues that bear upon the environment and its ecological well-being. The ever-rising mountains of trash in our landfills, our rivers, waterways, and seas, is a serious matter of concern that has stared us in the eye for decades.
