Globe Tattoo unveils its greatest home broadband offer, bundles plans with entertainment

April 20, 2015

“It’s a brave new world for broadband. We don’t talk about speed anymore.”

It’s no longer about the speed; it’s all about the content now. This is what one of the Globe Tattoo executives has always been pointing out during its Cebu media launch for Globe’s latest home broadband offers. After ending its unlimited DSL offerings (yes, no more unlimited downloads and streamings), Globe Tattoo now attempts to entice customers with its entertainment bundles or exclusive contents.

Globe Tattoo’s entertainment services include:

SPOTIFY for music streaming and downloading
HOOQ for local and foreign movies/TV series streaming and downloading
NBA League Pass for live and on-demand HD access to all NBA games

Meanwhile, here is Globe’s latest entertainment-bundled DSL plans:

The main good thing I see in these new plans is that, aside from all the entertainment and convenience, it also saves us from pirate streaming and downloading at the very least. You can watch shows with peace of mind.

However, these entertainment plans can be tricky for an average user. One might think he can now watch movies or shows to sawa or access these unlimited contents without worrying about the data limit. Thus, he can easily fill up the data cap especially if he’d like to watch in high definition. And of course, these plans are apparently for usage at home where an average Filipino family consisting of 4-6 members lives. Subscribers really need to monitor and be careful with their online activities.

It seems that Globe is slowly adapting the pay per bucket policy for their subscribers as what the rest of the world is doing now.

A new café has recently opened this year that offers breakfasts all-day long. What’s special about this café is that it doesn’t use processed food. Yolk Breakfast and Coffee makes mostly everything from raw foods. One of their must try is “The All-Beefed-Up”.

It is a homemade, slow cooked corned beef. You could order it with fried rice, egg and roasted tomatoes or you could have it with potato hash topped with eggs, toasts and salad. A perfect stomachgasm for meat lovers like me.

“Chorizo and Eggs in a pan” Spanish chorizo with tomato topped with eggs and basil served in a sizzling plate. Be careful ’cause this one is a hot tasty meal that would surely blow you away.

If you’re into bread, then the “Eggs Benny” is definitely forvyou — poached egg on sourdough bread, bacon topped with calamansi infused hollandaise sauce.
This can be perfectly paired up with any special blend and discover yourslef the sweet taste of langka/ jackfruit.

The café only uses premium beans from Singapore and they’re planning to have a bit of local at some time. They are located in 80 Tres Borces Sts Mabolo, Cebu City, they are open Tuesdays- Sundays from 7:30 am- 10:00pm. Visit them now and get a taste of breakfast meals you can never find in your own kitchen.

Top 5 Local Phones You Wish You Own 2015

THE LIST HAS BEEN UPDATED!

Click on the photo link.

Sighted a high-end phone but is too heavy for your budget? Shake off that problem fella! And the solution? THINK LOCAL. Oh, don’t get me wrong. Local isn’t the ‘second rate copycat’ that you are probably thinking. And this time we’re gonna redefine that. Do you really think local phones can’t match internationally? Think again. You may be familiar with these and it’s time you recognize all it’s bones, joints and sinews. Right here. Right meow.

Starmobile Knight X

[box type=”shadow” align=”” class=”” width=””] 1 The looks and the features of this phone makes me wanna pee. Because you know what, this phone is equipped with the Sony Exmor IMX135 f2.2 sensor and if you do know what that is, it would probably be the best camera from a local brand. Aside that it is a 4G LTE-phone, oh wait let’s emphasize that. It’s a 4G phone with the latest Super Octa Core processor with a 3 GB RAM and a 32 GB single partitioned memory space. You heard all of that right. It seems like Starmobile has stuffed all the finest feature in this 5.5″ phone. Isn’t that heavenly? And what’s more? It is just 15,990Php. And a clear satisfaction guarantee from it’s added features: Bluetooth 4.0, 3,350mAH battery, NFC capability, sensor just to mention a few. On the other side, if there’s one thing bad about this phone, it would be it’s bloatwares. I am a solid UP(not Knight) user and from experience, I have never used one of those preloaded antivirus, sync and mini market so it’s kind of useless and waste of space. Just being honest. But those odds can never hinder your satisfaction. I could guarantee that. I have been using the Starmobile UP for almost a year but it never failed me even though with the bloatwares. So what could you ask more? Grab your piggy banks if you have one and rush to the store while it lingers in your nerves. Photo from Starmobile

MyPhone Infinity

[box type=”shadow” align=”” class=”” width=””] 2
Can you see it’s edges? Isn’t that luxurious? Indeed the looks of this phone is parred with it’s features. A real pro-gaming, pro-media, pro-connectivity modern phone. 3G network speed, but is quite matched to its brother, the Rio LTE. My guts says that this the better one. Look at it’s rear view. Flat, plain and sexy edges. On the inside, its Tru Octa Core processor does its magic, enabling all the good stuff it offers. This 5.0″ phone is lightweight and easy to handle and will perfectly suit your hand that is if you prefer luxury. And luxury just costs 12,999Php. And that beautiful eye? Don’t underestimate that. It is a modern class 16-MP imaging sensor. Captures as crisp and vivid as it’s 1080 display. Full HD quality IPS LCD. Just wow. It also has a 16GB storage space and 2 GB RAM. Not quite impressive as the Knight X, but the Infinity specs will be more than enough for you. Photo from MyPhone
[/box]

Cherry Mobile Ultra

[box type=”shadow” align=”” class=”” width=””] 3
Classic looking huh? But no. This phone is one of the most advanced phones in the country. It is even the first 4G LTE device of Cherry Mobile. And it proved itself to belong in the top heap. Though this is less stylish than the Flare Series, it has the most striking feature that the Flare doesn’t have –Faster connectivity and processing speeds.. It’s 13-MP rear camera produces expressive vivid images that you would only see on international brands. It’s 5-MP front camera is highly competent when we talk about portraits, selfies and the like. It is equippe with a top-class Qualcomm processor and a Adreno 305 GPU for smooth and excellent graphics. Impressive? Yes, and appealing and it only costs 8,999Php Photo from Cherry Mobile
[/box]

Starmobile Diamond X1

[box type=”shadow” align=”” class=”” width=””] 4
The Diamond X1 is one of the most bought phablets in the country. No wonder it is because of its extravagantly combined specs. Imagine an 18MP rear camera and 8MP front camera combo , 8GB ROM + 2GB RAM, an absolutely eargasm stimulator Yamaha Speakers, 720 HD Display and a blazing True Octa Core Processor. Great specs right? But there’s more. Despite it’s 6″ size, it’s width and weight are almost impossible to believe -Handy giant you may call it. Its younger brother -the Knight X may be better than this, but before the Knight X, the Diamond X1 was unrivaled by any. You may also check the V7. Photo from Starmobile
[/box]

MyPhone Rio

[box type=”shadow” align=”” class=”” width=””] 5
I would like to specify which Rio variant is the best but oh, all of them are the best. This one is the best for all the stylish dudes and girls. Whether it’s the Rio, Craze, Grande, Lite, or Fun, it’s chic look is unmatched with other local brands. If about the specs, the Rio is the better one with. A stylish physique plus good specs is what everyone wants and Rio has it all packed inside. An 8-MP rear camera and 4 GB ROM gives you an almost inexhaustible apps space. Install a number of apps you want and satisfy yourself. You can brag this phone wherever you go but perhaps not it’s price because the Rio variants only costs from 4000Php to 6000Php. Isn’t that budget wise? Photo from DugomPinoy
[/box]

There you have it, Top 5 Local Phones, at least from me. There are more to choose but the ones above are only a few of the best for there is more to come. So stay tuned.

Free Facebook by Internet.org

So it happened 6:03am today (March 19, 2015) when a weird Facebook notification pops out of my I-thought-was-dead phone. I was still dozy and I read many names on the noti and I said “Have I done something wrong to these people?”

After a while, “Oh wait……. this is some news –PRETTY GOOD NEWS.”
[box type=”shadow” align=”” class=”” width=””] And if you haven’t heard of this yet (which I doubt because at this time you should already know it), and yes there you have it –Free Facebook. [/box]

The freebie is a revolutionary project of Facebook itself dubbed as Internet.org. Internet.org offers free but partial access to relevant websites and services. Smart, Sun and Talk ‘N Text had their first touch on the freebie just yesterday (Wednesday, March 18, 2015) 4:26pm as posted by Smart Communications, Inc in addition to safezone.ph which was made available to public months ago.

Features

It’s free. You heard that? It’s free! But with a few limitations –no photos and videos. It works some kind of the same with the deceased 0.facebook.com but a lot nicer. The feature can be accessed right through your Facebook application and free.facebook.com on browsers. On the app, it looks like

Profile thumbnails are loaded but no photos and videos. It’s kind of sad but still good. The blur effect on photos looks great and intriguing. I wonder why it is the same in the app. I hate how that “Free Data” ruins the tinting of my statusbar but that’s okay for now knowing that it’s free.
Try clicking a photo and this is what you’ll find. This suggests that Facebook is working closely with our Telco’s. By the way I am a Sun subscriber and I’m not a network-ist (like racist haha).

Cool and safe right? But this prompt can become a little embarrassing later on. Take note on the “safe”, at least for our remaining account balance.

Like the creation of Facebook, the Internet.org also has a humanitarian advocacy background.

[box type=”shadow” align=”” class=”” width=””] “Facebook created Internet.org to get 4.5 billion unconnected people on the internet.” That is two-thirds of the population. Just last February 10, Internet.org was launched in India, Philippines by March and the world in the near future. So I think that this will last long, longer that the past free access by Smart and Globe. Hopefully Globe will adapt Internet.org too, soon.[/box]
