How to write a book: the seminar

Last April 23, I attended the seminar sponsored by Central Bookstore at fullybooked in Bonifacio High Street. 

The speaker was Dr. Isagani Cruz. In the seminar Central Bookstore promoted their print on demand :) actually this is a very nice idea! They have packages that will take care of your needs.. Copyright and publishing stuffs.. And while the seminar was short, Dr. Cruz gave us the steps on how to write a book.. The brainstorming, researching, drafting stuffs... These can be found on the web. So what made the seminar worthwhile? He motivated us to write and ask us to make a commitment with ourselves to write the book. I needed that boost. So, thank you Dr. Cruz and thank you central bookstore

Deal Grocer deal : Keratise Keratin Treatment by Jesi Mendez Salon

I came across this deal in dealgrocer.. the treatment usually costs Php5,500.00 but they're selling it for Php3,450.00   

I always was blessed with a thick black hair, even after I gave birth, my hair is still thick and frizzy.. tried rebonding and I did love it, but the first few weeks after my treatment my hair was really flat.. so my friend suggested that I try brazilian blowout.. 
I researched the net and found that brazilian blowout and keratin treatments are one and the same.. but the price was kinda hefty... and now this deal...
Why did I choose Jesi Mendez? First, the location was near my house.  (Robinson's Place, Manila), second, this salon has a good reputation, and third, I used to have my hair done at jesi mendez.. 

 
After purchasing the deal, I called the salon to set an appointment. 
When I arrived at the salon, I just presented  to the receptionist my voucher and valid ID.  Viola! I was immediately assisted... they washed my hair, clarified that this is not a straightening treatment but it will only make my hair less frizzy, it will last for atleast four months with the proper shampoo and conditioner.. which I have to buy ofcourse.. 
After saying yes to all, they started to put the chemicals on my hair.. no more shampoo afterwards, then they blow dryed and ironed my hair.. I asked not to wash my hair for 72 hours, but I cannot stand that.. so after 2 days.. I washed it already, my hair remained soft, managble and not frizzy anymore, can clip my hair too... 
here's my hair after.. not frizzy and shinny.

Good thing I purchased this deal, because the shampoo and conditioner was pricey.. they costs  Php2,700.00

But I'm one happy customer! FYI jesi mendez provides free drinks.. I chose the iced tea and free wifi... it took me 2 hours for my treatment. no hair cut was done.. my hair was fine as it was... according to the resident stylist and her assistant..


 

 

Not a very happy ensogo customer ! : Ensogo customer service and Polaroid Tablet 7 Platinum MID0748

Very belated post!
I love shopping online and a constantly check deals on ensogo, cashcashpinoy, groupon and deal grocer..  I found this deal Polaroid Tablet for 4K something.. I wasn't thinking straight when I purchased this deal. Anyway, this is what I get for my online shopping impulsiveness. 

The tablet arrived, but i received a defective item. When I opened the tablet, it just froze showing the polaroid picture.. see below. 

I tried to press the reset button but it didn't work.   the tablet wouldn't even turn off.
The next day, I emailed ensogo.com.ph and they sent me a prompt reply.  I told them that I will send them the item via courier, but they replied that they will have their courier pick it up. 3 days passed.. no courier from ensogo. So, I decided to send the item back to them and sent them a copy of the airway bill.  its been a week now and the only reply I got was that they are contacting the supplier. No replacement or refunds yet. bad bad service for ensogo here. I'll keep you posted on what happened. 

To be fair, however, to products sold through ensogo site are not defective. they have fast delivery.. maybe I'm just the few of the unlucky ones. 

And another lesson learned : check the reviews of the devices you intend to purchase online before hitting the buy now button.

Looks sturdy! very nice design!
It has a a faded purple ayla lining, and one inner zipped pocket and two holders inside!

Love it!
Definitely one of my best buys!
Recommended for the fashionista on a budget!!! 

Torque Droidz Avatar TV review

I recently purchased Torque Droidz Avatar TV from Lazada.com.ph
It was on sale! got it less than Php3,500.00
Lazada's delivery service was very efficient. 
I purchased this phone primarily because of the analog TV function, and of course the updated OS. 
Not a techie here, but I noticed that there are no reviews regarding this phone.. so here it is.. 
The basic specs:
Android 4.2. jelly bean
dual sim
1 ghz dual core
5.0 wvga touchscreen
mobile tv
3.5g hsdpa
rom: 4g
ram: 512
dual cam: 5mp w led flash
wifi
bluetooth
gps
with microsd slot up to 32gb.

Here are some pictures of my phone. 

It is made of plastic but nice to hold..
no screen protectors installed, so you better install one before you use it. the plastic screen is not very sturdy, but probably it came with the price. 
the dual sim slot consists of one regular sim and one micro sim

the battery is 1500mAh
i'm not a gamer but when i installed apps yesterday, it only lasted for 3-4 hrs. max.
without internet however, the standby time lasted for more than 12 hrs. 

There is a front and back camera. this is how it looks like when you're going to use the camera.  

These are sample pictures taken using the phone. 

Torque Droidz Avatar TV

 compare the hair brush to the picture taken by my iphone5

Iphone 5

but overall, the picture quality is not bad. 
Plays videos with the stack video program. 

the TV works fine as well...  yup, it comes with an antenna

I've only been using this phone for 2 days.. so far so I haven't encountered any problems yet. It runs just fine. I don't know about the durability though, this is the first time I'm using a Torque phone. 
For the price (and for now) .. I'll give it 6 out of 8 stars. 
I hope this review gives you an idea about this phone..
