Pinay Ashley Robles and Jessica Sanchez on American Idol 11

Pinay Ashley Robles and Jessica Sanchez on American Idol 11

Okay, so I am so excited about the current season of American Idol like I always been since its premiere last June of 2002 (almost a decade now). But what makes me more excited about this season is seeing my favorite youtube singers to be actually auditioning on AI. Not only they are my favorite youtube singers, they are actually Filipino.

I was so surprised to see Ashley Robles from San Diego (mother of 5 year old kid and a DJ) who sang “I Will Always Love You” by Whitney Houston. I’ve seen her videos on youtube a long time ago singing acoustic songs, she can even play the piano and guitar. Her performance on American Idol is just amazing.

But what makes this season super super awesome (at least for me) is Jessica Sanchez! yeah!? I am so happy to learn that she, too, auditioned for Season 11. Shes a great perfomer and I have been following her for so long since she was just like 10 years old. Jessica wowed me when she joined America’s Got Talent years ago and her voice improved so much from then on. I was expecting her to join last season because I’ve seen her doing a youtube video with Thia Megia who formerly joined American Idol season 10.

I have this feeling that she might be on the top 10 because shes really that good and yeah, shes a pinay!

To watch their audition preview, click the youtube link below. Enjoy!

Samsung Corby S3653 (WiFi)-Philippine Price Update, Specs

Posted by admin on January 15th, 2012

Samsung Corby S3653 (WiFi)- Philippine Price Update, Specs

Currently being sold in the Philippine market today at around Php 4,500+ (or even lower) this mobile product seemed to be one of the cheapest touch screen handset produced by Samsung Mobile to date.

With the release of its predecessor last year, Samsung Corby S3653 (WiFi) price dropped from Php 9,950.00 (in 2010) to Php 4,500+ (2012).

I actually own one and have been using it for quite sometime, along with my other mobile unit and I can definitely say that it is a great phone considering its price and cool features.

Samsung Corby S3653 has a 2.8″ QVGA TFT screen which is relatively smaller than the popular android phone, Samsung Galaxy Y which sports a 3 inch screen. But, what I like about the S3653 is its TouchWiz interface and Pop-up SNS feature (social network service) wherein you’ll get online notification from your favorite social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter from your homepage screen. It also has a 2 megapixel camera that allows you to instantly upload photos to your favorite social sites and has a smile shot and panorama option as well.

Technical Specs includes;

Network: Quad Band/GPRS/EDGE
Dimension: 103 x 56.5 x12.0mm/93.20 g
Connectivity: Bluetooth v2.1/USB v2.0 Hi-Speed
Display: 2.8″ QVGA TFT Screen
Music Player: MP3
Camera: 2MP with panorama and smile shot option
Memory: 50 MB (internal), up to 8GB (external)

Features;

Pop-up SNS
Cartoon UI
Smart unlock
One-finger zoom

The Corby S3653 also reminds me of my old nokia phone that has interchangeable covers (now, that old school!). This corby unit comes with “fashion jackets” (an interchangeable back covers) that lets you customize the look of your phone.

Its cool “Fake Call” option and smart lock capability makes it more fun. And of course, it is a wifi-enabled device!

To learn more about Samsung Corby price in the Philippines you may want to check kimstore@multiply.com which it was currently being sold at Php 4,900.

How to Register GLOBE Unlisurf/SuperSurf Promo 2012

Posted by admin on January 9th, 2012

Globe Telecommunication have recently made some updates on their mobile broadband unlisurf rates for their prepaid subscribers with details as follows;

How to Register GLOBE Unlisurf/SuperSurf Promo 2012

SUPERSURF 50 1 day -unlisurf* cost: P50 Text SUPERSURF50 to 8888

SUPERSURF 120 3 days -unlisurf* cost: P120 Text SUPERSURF120 to 8888

SUPERSURF 200 5 days -unlisurf* cost: P200 Text SUPERSURF200 to 8888

The only changes they have made from their previous rate is, they have included 3 days of unlimited surfing for only Php 120 and they lowered the price of 5-days supersurf to Php 200 from its previous cost of Php 220.

For PostPaid subscribers, 1-day of unlimited surfing can be done by texting SUPERSURF ON 50 to 8888.

The only down side of using unlimited surfing with Globe Tattoo and with other broadband service aligned with Globe Tel. is its Policy on Fair Usage. I’ve had a quite number of frustrations with Globe Tattoo’s prepaid kit service that made me decided to use another broadband service. To be honest, there were times that I am able to use it fully without any problem in registration (supersurf) but still, 800 MB cap is not enough for internet addict like me.

According to Globe;

The Tattoo Prepaid Stick is designed to provide quick and convenient surfing access while on the go (mobile use). The product is intended for normal use of email, website browsing, and base search activities. For this purpose, 800 MB is a significant amount of data enabling you to:

Send/receive 22,400 plain text emails

Send/receive 2,720 emails with document attachments

View 2,720 web pages

Download 200 songs

Upload/download 1,600 social media posts

View 272 minutes of streaming video or 4.5 hours of video conferencing with your loved ones abroad

Download one 90-minute movie
