App Review: Philam Vitality Active App

     Do you have a fitness plan? Are you one of the many Filipinos (including me) who struggle to achieve that long-time fitness goal? It's not easy to stay fit and healthy for life because it will always include dedication and determination that's why I salute all my friends who devote time to stay fit and healthy.

     A healthy lifestyle is what we Filipinos need now. In this fast-paced life, we often forgot to take good care of body. We rely on "instant" and temporal things. Instant food and instant weight loss to name a few. We need to set our minds and do things the way they should be- eat the right kind of food, stay active by doing physical activities, and be rewarded for the goals we achieve. Speaking of rewards, let me share with you an app that makes being active rewarding- Philam Vitality Active App :)

Mommy's Day Out with PLDT Home

     Mommies need a break! A break from daily routine like household chores, taking care of the kid/s, and spending whole day inside the house. It doesn't mean that stay-at-home-mothers like me are neglecting a day's work at home, we need a break to relax, pamper, and chill with other moms to refresh our mind and body.

     That's why I'm thankful to PLDT Home for treating us in an afternoon of tea bonding last November 8, 2016. PLDT Home organized an intimate event called “Mommy’s Day Out” for mommy bloggers. The event was hosted by hot celebrity moms Isabel Oli and Denise Laurel. It was an afternoon of good food at Stacy's BGC and all invited guests shared their views on parenting in the digital age. Sharing with you what I've learned and my thoughts Parenting in Digital Age below :)

     As a mom, I always set in my mind that 'time is gold'. In my opinion, moms are one of the busiest individuals doing different tasks 24/7 at home especially if you're a stay-at-home-mom like me. I'm a father and mother most of the time for Kenzo, doing some of the 'dad jobs' at home. Since time is very important, I will choose all the easy access and hassle-free tasks or transactions that life has to offer. Everyone is online now. You can shop online, pay bills online, do banking online, and do other things or activities online. So aside from banking online, I recently discovered that one financial institution offers a lot of online services and is easily accessible anytime, anywhere! Meet cebuanalhuiller.com!

Mother and Son Bonding while Watching Shows on HOOQ

     Before I became a blogger, I have all the time in the world to spend it with my one and only son. We bond together in simple ways like watching television shows, playing with car toys, and malling. Fast forward today, I'm guilty that I only spend a few hours bonding with him. I miss the good 'ol times when we were watching our favorite movies and series on youtube.

     Recently, there are movies and series that's a pain to watch online. It's either the video has been taken down by the owner or the copy uploaded lacks quality. Good thing I've discovered a video-on-demand service that brought back my so-called "mother and son" bonding. I can say that spending quality time with my son is a pure bliss while watching movies or television series on HOOQ. I listed down 3 reasons why I highly recommend HOOQ for that much needed bonding time with your kids at home plus the highlights of HOOQ's re-launch :)

Mother and Son Bonding while Watching Shows on HOOQ

1. Join your kids watch their favorite movies and cartoons on HOOQ- anytime, anywhere! Get your tablet and relax beside your kids while watching cartoons. You can watch television shows even if your just in the sala set. No television, cable, and DVD required. 

2. It's an affordable bonding time with the kids at home. Your family can watch different shows. No more traffic going to malls just to watch a movie. No need to pay for movie tickets. Watch movies hassle-free at the comfort of your home.

3. Looking for classic children's movies that you cannot find anywhere? Find them at HOOQ. Teach them values while watching those movies. Watch Peter Pan and inculcate friendship and happy thoughts in your kids. Stuart Little is not a classic movie but we like watching it over and over again on HOOQ because it teaches the value of family, loyalty and friendship.

Mother and Son Bonding while Watching Shows on HOOQ
Stuart Little Movie

     

     Our favorite television series as of the moment is Theodore Tugboat. This show is somewhat like to Thomas and Friends. Theodore's adventures explore feelings, fairness and friendship in each episodes. This classic television series is also shown in youtube BUT they don't have the complete list of episodes unlike what HOOQ is offering.

     Basically, these are the simple things that I've experienced with HOOQ but these things are priceless-the bonding moment I have with my son every time we watch our favorite shows is bliss. We get to have those 'fun time' singing the songs in the series and playing a mini trivia game too.

Simply download the Lazada Mobile App for FREE on iOS AppStore and Google Play Store.

Effortless Shopping Tips on Using Lazada Mobile App

     Packed with daily promos and jaw-dropping discounts, the Lazada Mobile App also hosts exclusive App-Only sales for premium tech and lifestyle brands. With the same robust functionality as its web interface, the Lazada Mobile App offers the ease and convenience of shopping for those Filipinos on-the-go.

     And to make every Filipino’s effortless shopping risk-free, the Lazada Mobile App also offers cash-on-delivery payment. So aside from the ease of being able to shop on-the-go through the Lazada Mobile App, everyone can pay via cash when their orders arrive on their doorsteps.

Effortless Shopping tips to all Shoppers on the Go:

Secure Shopping

• For mobile shopping, choose shopping sites with an app. It’s easier to use and most importantly, more secure as it’s harder to tamper with.
• Check news articles about the shopping site to ensure it’s not a temporary online shop that will disappear after pocketing your money.
• Ensure the shopping site has a return policy such as Lazada’s Buyer Protection: online shops without return policies can mean scam or unauthentic products.
• Do not give your password to anyone. Online shops’ email support or call support personnel should never require your password for identification.
• Only use your credit or debit card on sites with a padlock icon in the URL bar. This means the site uses secure communications to prevent any third-party eavesdropping.
• Check for security labels such as PCI-DSS certification. This means the shop has been audited and is certified safe to use.
• If you don’t receive an acknowledgement email from the online shop shortly after a purchase, there might be an issue with your purchase or it might be a scam. Call the site’s hotline to verify.
• If you strongly suspect you have been scammed and your credit card information has been stolen, contact your bank or credit card issuer to block the card and investigate.

Savvy Fashionistas

• Pick the right size by using the size chart feature, taking your measurements and checking carefully for any international conversions (UK, US, EU, Japan).
• Ensure the site has an exchange policy like Lazada’s 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed policy that enables you to return clothes within 7 days, and re-order the outfit in a size that fits you perfectly.
• Only shop for fashion on shopping apps that provide a few angles so you can see exactly how the clothes fit on the model or mannequin.
• Get your friends’ comments or ‘likes’ easily by sharing the item on Facebook or Instagram before buying.
• Read product details to check on the fabrication so you’ll know how the clothes feel on you.

Parenting Shoppers

• Spend quality time with your family instead of getting caught in traffic to the shopping mall. Shopping at the Lazada Mobile App lets you shop at your convenience, any time of the day!
• Diapers and milk powder are not only expensive, but heavy to carry. Look out for online promotions and take advantage of door-step delivery.
• Follow the Lazada Super Moms Facebook page and subscribe to the newsletters to get the latest deals delivered straight to you.
• Don’t let getting overwhelmed in crowded malls and toy stores stop you from giving the best to your kids. Shop for educational toys online, conveniently.
• If you’ve brought the wrong size of maternity clothes, take advantage of Lazada’s 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed policy. Return the wrong size within 14 days (30 for Vietnam), and re-order the outfit in the right size.

Tech Addicts 

• Online shopping allows you to compare prices for your favourite gadget. Do keep a look out for sellers on the same site that may offer a bigger discount or bundle deal.
• Searching for phone accessories, power banks and covers is less overwhelming online as you can easily compare your options and colors, and sort them by price.

Coca-Cola Spotify- Music For Your Breaktime

     Filipinos love music! If I'll make a survey about the latest music hits in our country today I'm sure the participants can name more than ten songs may it be foreign or local. Music also plays an important role in our life. It can heal a broken heart or make us feel relax after a long tiring day. I'm also a music lover but the genre that I like is not on the mainstream or the common pop-rock-rnb trio. It's bossa nova, jazz, house and electric music to name a few. I'm sure music lovers will be delighted to know that the largest music streaming app- SPOTIFY is already here in the Philippines and Coca-Cola partnered with them to give you the best music streaming experience!

ReMINEd: The Right App for Today's Goal-Setters

    With the rise of different gadgets nowadays, we live our lives much more easier. Most gadgets we have now have different applications or apps that help us perform specific tasks. The developers from AppLabs Digital Studios designed this cool application where you can visualize the things that you desire. Let me introduce you to ReMINEd.

     ReMINEd is a visual wish list reminder application from AppLabs Digital Studios for goal-setters.

Desire, Visualize, Prioritize and Attain

• DESIRE - With ReMINEd, you can just enter the name of the object of your desire to save it in your Mine Box, a place where you can find all your existing wants. Desired objects depend on the person, whether it be an expensive suit, a brand new smartphone, a new townhouse or a luxury car.
• VISUALIZE - To help strengthen your desire, ReMINEd provides you with a chance to add a picture of that object you want. You can add a picture from your camera or grab a photo online.
• PRIORITIZE - Set you priorities straight by indicating the level of priority for each desired object. You can also set an alarm to alert you of the target acquisition date.
• ATTAIN - Set the goal. May it be to save a certain amount of money or buy a new car after three years, ReMINEd will help you set your desired goals effectively.

Features:

• MINE box - ReMINEd's visual wish list lets you store and review all your material desires with a simple swipe of a finger. ReMINEd Lite is a free version that only allows you to store up to 5 wants, though the full version allows you to store an infinite number of wants.
• Easy addition of wants - Just take an actual picture of the object you want or choose a picture from the web or your camera roll. Add/Remove the picture with a press of a finger.
• Reminder personalization - Set the target date and include a note to remind you when to acquire the object and what you will have to do to get it.
• Priority levels - Three priority levels (Low, Medium, High) let you acquire the object by level of importance.
• App sharing via Twitter and Facebook.

     ReMINEd is now ready for download on both iOS and Android devices with its LITE and FULL version. Start setting you goals, for more information visit ReMINEd's website HERE.
