A couple of weeks ago, we were fortunate enough to get a free overnight stay over at Maxim’s Hotel in Resorts World to review Samsung’s latest voice and motion control Smart TV. At first I thought it was the Marriott, didn’t know there was another hotel in the vicinity.
Maxims Hotel is an all-suite luxury hotel which has a casino, a few restaurants, some high-end boutique shops and is annexed to Newport Mall if you want to catch a movie, go to a club, shop, or dine in various restaurants.
Being an all-suite luxury hotel, the most basic room is well… a deluxe suite (P15,800 per night published rate). That’s where we stayed. We were surprised how large our room… err suite was.
And just like that, jeepney fare is now back to Php8.00 from Php8.50. Commuters take note!
The 50-cent increase was just implemented last March but after a big-time rollback of diesel, the fare’s back at Php8.00. It couldn’t have come at a better time since jeepney transport groups already petitioned a Php2.00 price hike bringing the base fare up to Php10.00. With the price drop on fuel, the LTFRB scrapped the P2-increase in fare.
Diesel fuel dropped below Php45 per liter and is likely to continue in the weeks to come according to the LTFRB. Fare might go back to Php8.50 when diesel price goes over Php48.
Somehow I feel sorry for the jeepney drivers with this one. It’s easy for oil companies to decrease and increase their fuel prices but it’s difficult for jeepney groups to get approval for fare increase, but it’s easy for fare rollback to be approved.
That’s right. P50,000 worth of adidas apparel will be given away to the 10 winners of the adidas Originals Leave a Legacy Facebook photo contest.
All you need to do is upload a photo of yourself in your most original adidas street ensemble into the adidas Leave a Legacy Facebook app then have friends vote for it. The top 10 photos with the most votes will each win P50,000 worth of adidas products. That’s like 9 pairs of shoes at least!
I would like to dedicate this post to greet my mom a Happy Mother’s Day. A few weeks ago I posted about this Nido Fortified Facebook App where you can greet your mom via a digital billboard along EDSA. Well here it is:
Too bad she wasn’t able to see it as she has to fly back to the US two days ago. Still, I want to thank my mom for everything she’s done for me. I just love my mom.
Happy Mother’s Day to all moms out there as well! Including my mother-in-law, my sister who recently became a mother, and my other relatives, friends, and readers who are mothers!
Be good to your mom even for today. Treat her somewhere special okay?
Mother’s Day is this Sunday. Time to reflect hard on what mom has done for you and appreciate her no matter what on that special day.
In line with Mother’s Day, here’s a funny video I came across with starring Philippine Volcanoes’ Eric Tai (and Tia’s ex-gym buddy) who reminds me of Johnny Bravo in this ad for Kit Kat.
Hahaha. Do something special for your mom on Mother’s Day will ya!
If you’re to choose an activity that you want to do for a few hours on a single day, what will it be? Here are the choices – cooking lesson with a local celebrity chef, be an aquanaut in an oceanarium, or experience riding a helicopter for a few minutes? Go.
Hands down, no questions asked, it’s gotta be the chopper ride! Nokia treated bloggers and members of a media on a choose your own amazing adventure to celebrate the Nokia Lumia 610 Windows Phone and I chose what’s gotta be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me, riding a helicopter.
I reviewed the Marshall Major and Marshall Minor headphones before here, they are nice-looking and decent-sounding headphones but a bit pricey. Now there’s a Pitch Black version (completely black) and as a promo, you can get it at 15% off when you buy it while wearing a black shirt.
Promo runs from May 14 to 16 only and you can get these at a discount from select Digital Hub, Digital Walker, Beyond the Box, and Buzz stores. For inquiries, you can post comments on https://www.facebook.com/digitstrading.
