Get Ironman 70.3 Philippines real-time updates

0 Comment

Staying in shape and keeping healthy is top priority for me. But, joining the Ironman 70.3 Philippines competition… well, maybe someday. Far far away. Haha!

Although the idea of me actually being part of this much anticipated competition is still far from becoming a reality, keeping tabs on each and every Ironman 70.3 Philippines participant and tracking their race times in “real-time” is something I can already do.

And so can you.

The Cookoo Watch!

1 Comment

Picture this…

You’re in a noisy, crowded environment and your trusty smartphone is in your pocket. Since you’re afraid that pulling out your most prized gadget to check for important tweets, SMS, FB, and email notifications might call the attention of snatchers and robbers, you decide to keep it securely in your pocket (or bag) instead.

Ever been in that situation before? More than once, perhaps?

What if you’re in a meeting? Constantly looking at your phone to check for incoming messages can be quite disrespectful to the person you’re having a meeting with. In the end, you choose to keep your phone turned down till god knows when. All the while, someone is trying to reach you through your smartphone and you don’t even notice… till it’s too late. Not good.

We’ve all been guilty of this. We’ve probably all been in hot water because we missed an urgent call from our spouse or from our boss.

So, what can you really do if you need to keep tabs with important people? What if you need to be notified the very minute an email is sent to you or when an emergency call comes in…? Is there a solution to this?

Fortunately, NOW there’s is!

COOKOO.

Yup! Cookoo! An analog watch that does so much more than just notify you of the time.

This impressive little gadget connects to your iOS device via Bluetooth 4.0 in tandem with a free downloadable app via the Apple AppStore.

Daddy’s Girl

0 Comment

It’s wonderful how some of the things we usually take for granted turn our lives around dramatically.

Take your mobile subscription, for example… be it texting or calling.

For some, it’s a simple way for friends to get in touch and stay in the loop.  For others, a way to coordinate and facilitate business concerns.  Whatever reason you use this most used means of communication, it clearly serve its purpose time and time again.

But for one particular family, a father and daughter… it was the very vehicle in which their broken relationship was restored.

I encourage you to watch this short but very touching video entitled, “Daddy’s Girl”, brought to us by Globe Telecom.  Nakakaiyak siya.

Very touching, right?

Kinda makes you think about how many more relationships have been forged and strengthened through the power of the mobile network and the cellphone.

May you break down emotional walls and barriers as well.  As a matter of fact, why not give your family a call and share old and new stories with them right now.

I’m sure they would love to hear from you, too.

How is an SMS “really” sent?

1 Comment

We key in our message via our touchscreens and keypads and click on “send” – that’s pretty much our overall idea on how to send out an SMS.

In this day and age, I don’t think there’s anyone in this country who doesn’t know what a text message is… heck, even the littlest kid on the block probably knows how to do this popular Pinoy pastime.

But have you ever wondered what exactly happens after you press that little “send” button on your cellphone?  You probably don’t think that your message just magically appears on the screen of your recipient’s cellphone, right?  Or do you?

Well, for anyone who has ever been even the slightest bit curious as to what really happens to a sent message from the time a sender dispatches an SMS, to the moment someone receives it… you will surely enjoy this short, informative and very entertaining video starring Bianca Gonzales – brought to us by Globe Telecom.

There you have it, folks.

So, before sending an SMS message or replying to a friend with a simple “K”, think about how much technology is utilized and the processes this particular data goes through before it actually lands on the receiver’s device.

That way, maybe you’d be inspired to send out a more enthusiastic response other than just saying… “K”.

K?
