Globe Prepaid Love Bus media launch

Yesterday, I attended a cool press launch while on wheels as I was invited to be one of the bloggers and the members of media to be invited at the Globe Prepaid Love Bus media launch.

Ahead of April 10 2012 (the start date that will roll out in EDSA), me and the rest of the guys started our journey at Trinoma in EDSA-North Avenue. While on the road, the Globe treated us some water, candies and fun games (which also has a prize for every question/dare of the game). I volunteered first for the pick up lines portion as I had a Globe-inspired line. There was also a game as the media people tested their skills in "Show Me" portion. They also introduced us to the Globe's free and easy to use quick service menu which is to dial *143# (and push the call button). They also allowed us to ask questions on anything about Globe as I focused mainly on the said quick service menu.

Chinese New Year 2012 celebration at SM Southmall

Last January 23, I had my first blogging event of the year when the people of SM Southmall invited me to be in their 2012 Chinese New Year celebration. Nice to know that I'm the 1st blogger to confirm to attend at the said event.

It was held at the right side parking area of the said mail. Expect to have the lion and dragon dancers as they surrounded the whole area. What is unique (as I experienced it last June 2011 at Tagaytay) as the participants had their paper lanterns to be lightened so it will be up in the sky. As for safety measures, it was supervised by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines.
