PLDT myDSL’s best commercial for me is…

Of course, the craze about Derek's love for Anna Banana ends, but at least Aria is there for him. 


PLDT did an amazing job in creating a sequel for every commercial they are releasing about Lorenzo's family. I see different values in each movie and how PLDT can be an avenue for families to grow together.


FAST:
This first video would show how loving his mom, by watching the video from time to time to have more views for his son. These children should gain confidence at an early age for them. With a fast connection from PLDT myDSL, Derek wouldn't think that his family would do this for him. The service of PLDT is Fast.



RELIABLE: 
The second video would show how Anna Banana "busted" Derek through a video reply. The family members of Derek were very worried about this. The video surely hurt the feelings of Derek. Derek's family becomes reliable at this time, when Derek needs them most. 

Like PLDT myDSL, It provides consistent and dependable internet that I need to make my life fun and worthwhile. 

OPPORTUNITY
The thrid video shows that a need girl appears for Derek. She does support derek, and becomes Derek new "Anna". It's really funny to see puppy love at these time, when you feel or already old. This moment created an opportunity for Derek to meet new girls, that would not put his effort to waste.

Opportunity is very important in our lives. PLDT myDSLwouldn't let you miss the opportunity by providing Quality connection that you and your family would enjoy!


SINCERITY
Lastly (for now), This video shows that his husband is so sorry for their lost dog. He tried his best to look for  the Dog and really sorry for not locking the gate. The song is very pleasing to the ears. You can see in the video how sincere the father to apologize to her wife about his mistakes. 

PLDT myDSL, is very sincere in proving their customer quality, fast, and reliable service that would not let us miss the opportunity that we have. 

I personally chose the Lost Dog Commercial. I can see the love between the family members. The children are willing to help their father to apologize to the wife. While, PLDT myDSL, provides this unique and sweet way of apologizing for the wife.


If you guys want to be attached to their family like me....

So, I made an effort to look for the full version in the web :)

So here is Full version of the video.....


Well, if you are curious, this is the Censored Version of Axe.

I have read several speculations on why the video was being cut. 

  • The scenes were very chaotic
  • MTRCB blocked it
  • A strategy of Axe to make people curious, so you'll go to their facebook site.

The strategy of AXE were very good! It actually made the BOYS NIGHT OUT guys ...... "Bitin"

So Axe girls made a surprise visit in their Studio. I didn't expect the commercial break of that segment went this far...... #sneaky.... I think you should watch it, to find out yourselves!

Banana Boat - Fun Under the Sun



It's almost the End of Summer, and you still can't beat the Heat? Then I think, you should try the sunscreen being offered by Banana Boat :)

Banana Boat is formulated with its signature AvoTriplex technology.


What's the AvoTriplex Technology?AvoTriplex formula is a technology which absorbs and stabilizes UV rays that is exclusive to Banana Boat products.



Banana Boat Sunscreen Lotion provides three-way skin protection which immediately starts after application. With UVB ( Ultra Violet -B ) protection, you'll be protected from having sunburn. Also, with UVA ( Ultra Violet- A) protection, you'll be protected for longer hours against skin damages. Banana Boat lasts longer than ordinary sunscreen products.




Banana Boats Products 

  1. Banana Boat Ultra Protect with Aloe Vera and Vitamin C & E (SPF 50 and SPF 80)
  2. Banana Boat Sport  (SPF 80 and SPF 110)


What's interesting with the Banana Boat Sport is that,It offers protection for athletes with its non-greasy, sweat and water resistant formula


Hey! That is Banana Boat’s highest level of protection blocking out 99 % of burning rays.


I actually tried the Banana Boat Ultra Protect with SPF 80 when we went to Boracay. We were exposed to direct sunlight, since we had this island hoping activity.  At the end of the day, I didn't feel any sunburn at all :) Thanks To Banana Boat.


Banana Boat Sunscreen lotions are available at leading supermarkets, drugstores and health & beauty stores nationwide.

Boracay! - Gear Up Edition

Hi there! I know that this post should be published before I went to Boracay. But then, I don't have a blog that time so, i'll just share this to you guys now :)


Boracay is known for their white sand beaches, awesome sunsets and different water sports adventure.
You must know what are the things that you should pack in your Backpack :)

So whenever you are going out of town/country, Create a checklist.


  What's on my checklist?
  The usual stuff:
1. Set of clothes
2. Toiletries
3. Medicine
4. Plastic Bags ( for used clothes)
5. Towel
6. Flashlight ( during teambuildings only)
7. Whistle ( if like Hiking or what)

To fully maximize your beach experience, here are my suggested list of materials that you should bring with you :)

1. Sunscreen/ Sunblock 

Why do you need this? 
  • It can decrease the chances that you'll get sunburn :)
  • You can prevent Skin cancer cause by UV rays.  #creepy 
About SPF: 
The SPF number that you can see, doesn't imply the effectiveness of a Sunblock from blocking the UV rays. Some people may say, that the higher the SPF number, the effective it is. 

The SPF( Sun Protection Factor) - is actually a multiplier stuff, say your skin can take 10 minutes before it gets red from direct sunlight, then you have a sunblock that has 30 SPF, so 10mins x 30 = 300mins. That's the number of minutes that your sunblock will remain effective :)


Trivia told to me by my friend: 
After being exposed to direct sunlight, when your skin gets red ----> It's hard for you to get dark
Else, if your skin gets dark right away, then It's easier for you to get dark. 

Please buy one before going to beach, coz they are quite overpriced, when it comes to sunblocks :)
I saw there that their BANANA BOAT 80 SPF is 495 pesos.


2. Sunglasses


Why do you need this?
  • It will protect your eyes from UV rays
  • Comfortable to the eyes ( doesn't let your eyes see too much brightness)
  • It's fashionable :)



Does your sunglasses perfect for the shape of your face?
Oval shaped Faces - Most style will work for you
Rounder Faces - Avoid Round Frames, but rather straight or angular shapes
Square Faces - Slightly rounded frames will do
Triangular Faces( Broad forehead, narrow chin) - Try a thin rimmed sunglasses :)



3. Waterproof Bag





Why do you need this? 
  • It will not let your things get wet, while having fun in the beach :)
  • It's light
I didn't bring one, when we went to Boracay. On the day of our Island hopping, I am forced to buy one from a store near our hotel. The salesman said, the bag costs around Php 100.00. I tried to haggle it for like 50-80 pesos, but he didn't lower the price. 

I bought this thing, because i remembered in one bazaar that, something similar to this, costs around 120/pc. 
Given that fact, plus the Boracay being imprinted in that bag, made me decide to buy 1. :)


4. Waterproof Camera




Why do you need this? 
  • You can have underwater shots
  • You can bring it with you in the beach, pool, etc. 
  • You would capture all your fun moments ;)
  • These kind of cameras have dust proof, shock proof, Freeze proof also 

I have a Sony TX-10, after reading several blogs and posts about which camera to choose. I picked this one. :) actually, I used a site recommended to me by one of my favorite blogsite for gadgets :) 
Try this link, they would compare cameras you choose. 
Visit Snapsort.

We actually bought this camera for our Boracay trip, and yeah! It is worth it! :D

What made me decide to buy this camera? 
  • Cheap compare to other waterproof camera.
  • Easy to use
  • They have this feature where it's easy to change settings (Gourmet, Beach, Fireworks, Snow, etc. )
  • They also have this panorama shooting, 3D and burst shot ( up to 10 pics)
  • It can also record an HD video 
  • My favorite: YOU CAN EDIT THE IMAGE RIGHT AWAY ( Crop, Paint , etc. )
I seriously, LOVE USING THE CAMERA! :D


5. Body Bag




Why do you need this?
  • So you can still carry you valuable items with you, even if you are wearing a Board shorts (w/o pockets)
  • You can bring a lot of stuff with you( wallet, camera, cellphone, Itouch, etc.)
  • Light and Handy

This is the bag that I used in our Borcay trip. 
Inside my bag, I have these following items with me :
  • Cellphone
  • Itouch
  • Wallet
  • Monopod
  • Ice Breaker Candy ( Try This!) 
  • Waterproof Camera
There! I have those things near to me, so that if i need to take a pic on something, call someone, Listen to my favorite song, buy something. 

You may say, that it might be heavy? 
-> you can pack light! :) On my 2nd day, I removed the following items, wallet, Monopod, Candy and Itouch :) Instead of using a wallet, i just got my cash instead :)


6. Monopod

For me, a monopod is something you must have in order for all of you to be in the picture :)

Why do you need this?

  • Everyone can join the picture
  • It's lighter compared to Tripod
  • Smaller - easy to carry
  • You can rotate it, up to 180 degrees
We'll I ordered my monopod a day before our trip, I got it for Php 850.00 from sulit :)

I was actually choosing between an 850 pesos worth of Monopod, or the 1300 pesos worth of Monopod w/ accessories ( it can stand alone). 

What made me decide to buy the 850 pesos one:
  • It's cheaper
  • Stainless over Aluminum (aluminum metal corrode faster)
  • Meeting place is near my area, the other one is in Makati/Ortigas ( i forgot)
