Around two weeks ago,  I signed up with Cash Cash Pinoy because the site was offering a good deal: Philips music combo package consisting Philips Sound Machine and a 2gb Go Gear. The hubby and I were planning to get a Go Gear for the younger kids since our eldest child’s Go Gear is still in good condition even after 4 or 5 years since we purchased it. Yeah, we have brand loyalty because earphones she uses are also made by Philips.

The Philips package consisted of Philips CD Portable SoundMachine (Silver) + Philips GoGear Mix MP3 Player 2GB for only PhP3125.00. If I remember it right, the eldest child’s Go Gear was bought at PhP2,500.00 so I thought since we were buying another one, why not get this deal instead?

Hubby said yes and so I signed up and purchased the deal along with two more deals for a restaurant.

Hubby made an over the counter payment at a bank the next day and I immediately emailed the numbers seen in the deposit slips as per instructions. I got an email confirming my purchases.

Last week, I printed the voucher and asked the hubby if he can get the package on Tuesday at their Antel Makati office since he has to go to an office near that building. I gave him my PRC identification card but did not give him an authorization letter. So he went home empty-handed. He was promised that the package will be delivered the next day (Wednesday).

He brought the email, my ID and finally an authorization letter from me to the delivery address AKA MIL’s house early Wednesday morning.

I was there on Thursday but no package came. Sad 🙁

I emailed the site on their facebook page as well as in their official site telling them I am expecting the package because they promised delivery on a Wednesday, and it’s Friday morning already.

After a Friday lunch with my friends, I arrived at my MIL’s house with my student waiting for me AND the package waiting to be opened that has a note that says: “R_____, please prioritize”.

Yey! Finalleh!

The recipients of the Philips Music Combo were all very happy.

So what’s my next CashCash Pinoy purchase? archery supplies at stickemearchery? art supplies? ballet lessons? I’m looking at a spa deal right now because I think I may need these after the exam months.

Networking does not just mean having a Twitter account or a Facebook page. Networking is a face to face interaction among people.

Being a special education teacher, networking is important with me, not to get new clients but to learn from other people. I don’t think have to print out business flyers to advertise the services I offer because I have an online presence.  Having business cards ready to give to people interested in getting to know me is a big factor.

Networking is not just about these social media sites. Whatever is written in social media sites can be edited. Real-life dealings, though delivered in guarded behavior and measured steps most of the time, can give tell-tale signs on what kind of a person one is.

Networking is about people who will talk positively (and negatively too) about the way others conduct themselves and how they are as people who can be trusted.

No matter how one sugarcoats his/her social media accounts if offline or real-life behavior doesn’t add up, then people would see the real and not the reel person for what he/she truly is.

Say it with flowers!

Prom nights, graduation rites and graduation balls are great times to order flowers. Roses are one of the more popular choices for these exciting events. I’ve been scouring the web for some online flower shop links and landed on several pages and spent time to View ProFlowers LinkedIn profile among other sites.

We just finished looking at prom photos and I can’t help but be sentimental about our prom more than half a lifetime ago. Next year will be my elder daughter’s turn to have her prom. Yikes!

Homeless NY Father Finds Daughter Through Twitter says the headline I read in one of the first sites that announced this good news this morning. father is Mr. Danny Morales who found his daughter through Twitter in a project called Underheard in New York.

Underheard in New York is a project where homeless people are given a prepaid mobile phone to keep a record of their lives.

Mr. Morales posted a photo of his daughter Sarah Rivera in Twitter.

Certainly good news for loved ones who have not been in touched with each other for years.

I’m sure people who read their story were moved to tears. Who would have thought technology, specifically social media, would be the way for long lost loved ones to see each other again. Continue Reading »

I thought our internet connection is pretty fast compared to others but I was wrong because last night it took me almost 4 hours to upload online a 4:02 minutes video.

Where we are, our ISP, SmartBro is the third to the last among 17 other ISPs when compared from the period of August 19, 2008 – February 18, 2011.

Here’s the link.

I sure hope that later on the speed improves.  We need to look at urban clothing photos as reference for a school dance performance and mathematical operations with fractions videos as a refresher lesson.

Ye  right.

Wasn’t it just last early last year when I wrote I wanted to have a netbook? And now, less than a year later, netbooks’ sales are down because tablets and android phones have overtaken them in terms of style and sales.

Hmmm… having a tablet is sure nice but this can’t be a good tool for a blogger like me. I saw a blogger’s tablet and took notice of little “marks’ on one side where the keyboard should be 🙁

Yeah, some people I know have tablets. Then they purchase the keyboard. Isn’t it much more difficult to hold than using a netbook?

As for me, I need to check on Atrix or the best android mobile phone for me so I can Andronify myself, haha!
