Sun Cellular, the Good Choice in Postpaid

Posted on by

I really would love to try to have a post paid line from a reputable network that will give me better service and better value for my money. That’s what I have in mind lately. I want to have a post paid line that will give me balanced calls and texts service. Getting a post paid line is now made easier and more affordable by Sun Cellular. Good thing I found this deal at Sun Cellular. Now they are offering Plan 600 and Plan 999. I studied both the plans and for me they’re both excellent choices. Sun Cellular offers the slimmest phones from Sun Post paid. Sun Plan 600 offers Alcatel idol, the lightest phone from alcatel. It has a 4.7 touch screen, Android V 4.1, 3g, wifi hotspot, 8 MP camera, expandable memory, plus it’s dual core. The plan 600 offers unlimited sun calls and texts plus 250 pesos consumable and 350 texts to other networks. The plan 999 on the other hand offers Alcatel idol ultra, the thinnest phone from Alcatel. It is a 6.45 mm ULTRA THIN phone with a 4.65 Touch screen, Android v 4.1 ,3g, wifi hotspot , dual core and 8 MP Camera .What I like most about this plan is that it has unlimited mobile internet, unlimited sun texts and 4 hours Sun call. What more can I ask for? Now, I can’t wait until I get to the nearest Sun Cellular Shop! I’m so excited! This will be perfect for me because I can bring work anywhere with me with this kind of plan from Sun Cellular!

Krispy Kreme Shares the Gift of Joy through the Read Along Program

Posted on by

Yesterday, I  decided to spend time with the deaf kids and participate in their Read Along Program by Development and Accessibility Fund for the Deaf (DeAF Deaf) and Support and Empower Abused Deaf Children, Inc. (SEADC). I tagged along my boys, Luis and Enzo, so they could also interact with the kids. I must admit I was a little intimidated  and it felt strange at first but Ms.Liwanag Caldito, the founder of Development and Accessibility Fund for the Deaf (DeAF Deaf) and Support and Empower Abused Deaf Children, Inc. (SEADC) taught us patiently how we can communicate with ease. 

 

It was a fun and learning filled afternoon! We were taught simple sign languages that we could use in order to communicate with the deaf. Volunteering is one of my passions in life. I am so happy that I was able to attend this activity for the deaf kids. I felt so humbled and grounded, realizing once again how lucky I am that I can hear, and speak. We were all touched. One of our colleagues from the media even expressed his desire to help in whatever way he can. We may not be able to teach them but we can allot a portion of our time so we could help these kids flourish their communication skills, the same way that we could also enhance our communication with the deaf through sign language.

Rousing Change and Learning

Krispy Kreme Shares the Gift of Joy through the Read Along Program

Have you ever laughed your heart out at a joke delivered by a Deaf friend, not because you heard the words together, but because both of you understood the essence of the punch line? Or have you simultaneously learned dancing with your Deaf sister not because you can both hear the music, but because both of you had the rhythm to move?

The Deaf and the hearing are different, not in their senses, but special in the way they make use of them.

With the imperative need to connect with people who see beauty even if they can’t hear the sound of it, brands and organizations are coming together to break the barrier and move a step towards change.

 

Furthering its Heritage of Sharing

With the distinct confectionery experience brought by its delectable variety of doughnuts, baked goods, and coffee, Krispy Kreme has been touching the hearts and tickling the palates of Filipinos since it arrived in the Philippines six years ago. And as it continues its sweet success in the country, Krispy Kreme is on the move to bring everyone more reasons to smile—not only with its mouth-watering delights but also with projects that resonate with the lives of their valued customers.

So, as its birthday gift to all when it turned 75 bright years last 2012, Krispy Kreme launched the Share the Gift of Joy campaign—an initiative that supports the brand’s 12 partner charities which care for the environment, creativity, lives, our animal friends, and of course, kids.

Working hand-in-hand towards an altruistic shift, Krispy Kreme is supporting a series of cause-oriented projects led by its partner charities; starting with the Read Along Program by Development and Accessibility Fund for the Deaf (DeAF Deaf) and Support and Empower Abused Deaf Children, Inc. (SEADC).

Rousing Change and Learning

The Read Along Program is one of Deaf Deaf’s immersion programs, done in partnership with Krispy Kreme’s Share the Gift of Joy campaign, set to not only spread joy, but induce change.

Put together to immerse people in the culture and language of the Deaf community, the Read Along Program will be a two-way educating session: Deaf children will be taught how to read and improve their vocabularies, while their hearing parents and peers will be shown their learning process and will be given tips on how to properly teach them.

 To open this intervention program, the Deaf kids and hearing participants will be reading books together—Ogost and CJ and The Flower Who Did Not Know God Was Protecting Her—written by DLS-CSB Filipino Sign Language student Happy Ruth Pamintuan.

There will also be an act-the-story game to challenge the comprehension of the Deaf kids, and basic sign language lessons to teach the hearing participants the three-dimensional language of signing to better communicate with the Deaf kids.

As a remarkable doughnut and coffee brand that continuously etches its flavors in the hearts of many, Krispy Kreme extends the value of sharing by treating everyone beyond bites and sips.

By supporting these remarkable groups, it’s overwhelming to note how brands and organizations are working together to lead a life-changing project such as this. The Read Along Program will not only be an immersion experience, but will serve as a catalyst—launching people towards one noble cause as it breaks the barrier of communication for the Deaf community.

One Fighting Championship : Rise to Power Live on May 31 SM MOA ARENA, Manila Philippines

Posted on by

One_FC_16
I was able to witness the One FC Press Conference held in Midas Hotel last April 10, 2013.It was hosted by Anthony Suntay, one of the most renowned sports commentators and hosts in the Philippines. For those of you guys who are not familiar with MMA, MMA is the fastest growing sport in the world. It is the third most watched sport in the USA. It is a combination of the world’s most effective martial arts: Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Boxing and Wrestling. The birth of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) as we know it today required a multi generational gestation period. It can be traced back to the first Shooto event in 1989 held in Japan. Japan in particular has been the birthplace and home of the most martial arts that the world is familiar with. The sport has progressed by leaps and bounds in the last two decades and has created its own slew of stars and fans alike. Today, a mixed martial arts fighter enters the legendary cage equipped with a wide ranging set of skills that would enable him to engage the opponent standing up or on the ground with equal versatility and dexterity. On his feet, a fighter will use traditional stand up methods such as strikes with the fists, elbows, knees and kicks- in an attempt to do as much damage as possible or knock out the opponent. As the fastest growing sport in the world, MMA continues to garner fans because of its raw, minimal rules, back to basic style of allowing the most free form of artistic expression for martial arts while fuelling the entire atmosphere with the adrenaline of a rock concert.
“MMA is the future of Martial Arts and is the fastest growing sport in Asia,” said the CEO and Owner of ONE Fighting Championship Victor Cui.” I am confident that One Fighting Championship will lead the way for the exponential growth of this sport in Asia. We will continue to bring the best martial artists in Asia and around the world to meet in the cage for epic battles where names will be made and remembered.”

The CEO of ONE FC, Mr. Victor Cui stated: “One FC will be back in the fight capital of Asia on May 31 with a stacked fight card that is sure to get the adrenaline pumping for the passionate Filipino fight fans. This event could possibly be the largest in One FC’s history and features the top names in MMA, headlined by One FC Featherweight World Champion Honorio Banario. Of course, having one of the greatest fighters on earth fighting on this card in Manila is sure to be a special night for MMA. Bibiano Fernandes always brings his best when he steps into the cage. Close to 20,000 fans will pack out the SM Mall of Asia Arena to witness the greatest sporting spectacle in the world.”

ONE FC in association with Universal Reality Combat Championship (URCC) will return to the capital fight of Asia on Friday ,May 31 with the highly anticipated fist title defense of hometown hero ONE FC Featherweight World Champion Honorio “the Rock” Banario. Plus, pound for pound king Bibiano “the Flash” Fernandes will return to the famed ONE FC cage when he squares off against Japanese MMA sensation Koetsu Okazaki for the ONE FC Bantamweight Interim Title.
Tickets for the ONE FC: Rise to Power will be launched in Casino Filipino branches across the Philippines starting April 19 2013.
Fans from around the world can witness the action online via live streaming at http://www.onefc.livesport.tv. The first two undercard fights are available for viewing free of charge and the main card fights will be available for purchase at jus US$ 9.99.

ONE FC Featherweight Champion Honorio “the Rock” Banario, a Filipino World Champion is one of the top Mixed Martial Artists in the world today. He is a member of the legendary Team Lakay where he trains alongside fellow ONE FC fighters Eduard Folayang and Kevin Belingon under head coach Mark Sangiao. Banario comes from a Wushu background, an ancient Chinese martial art whose practitioners are recognizable by a diverse range of striking techniques. Despite his striking credentials, five of Banario’s eight wins were by submission, proving his fellow countrymen Eric Kelly at ONE FC: Return of Warriors via TKO. Banario will be looking to hold onto his title when he battles the ever so tough submission specialist from Japan, Koji Oishi.
Bibiano “The Flash” Fernandes is undeniably one of the best fighters in the world today. His never-ending gas tank, explosive take downs and lightning fast strikes have garnered him a huge fan base amongst Asian and International fans alike. Fernandes made his ONE FC debut in August 2012 at ONE FC: Pride of a Nation where he defeated journeyman Gustavo Falciroli via unanimous decision. A veteran who has fought countless Japanese fighters, Fernandes will have his toughest test yet when he battles Japanese sensation Koetsu Okazaki.

ONE FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIP is headquartered in Singapore; ONE Fighting Championship (http://www.onefc.com) is Asia’s largest mixed martial arts organization. ONE Fighting Championship hosts the best Asian mixed martial artists and world champions on the largest media broadcast in Asia. One Fighting Championship has partnered with STAR Sports, the number one leader in sports content, for an unprecedented 10-year cable television deal with a coverage that spans across 70+ countries in Asia.
