Being a tech geek is an advantage. Mobile Phones are essential for everyone's life, we cant do things or even feel like we lost half of our life if we don't have one because this will help us informed from news, articles, and keeping updated in the social media. Getting a snap from sophisticated cameras that can take professional quality photos is also considered as a fashion statement, like owning a latest cellphone technology, with a great branding is a perfect way to mark yourself as a style icon. Being one will boost your confidence which is also an advantage.

If you want to be trendy and a person with style? Vivo is here for you! Vivo will help every individual to be at their best when in comes to your mobile phones. Vivo just had their Vivo V7+ All-Screen Experience Mall Tour at SM City Malls. They visited SM City General Santos together with the teen hunk and brand's ambassador, Paul Salas last November 5, 2017. I can say that they rocked the whole event area as Paul Salas performed and serenade the fans. The audience also got delightful freebies from Vivo and enjoyed the set of activities during the program. There was also an opportunity given to the customers to have a try on the new Vivo V7+ and other top-of-the-line smartphones at the selling area.

The event ended with a Dinner/ Pres Con with Paul Salas together with #SoxBloggers at Hao Chuan Modern Chinese Cuisine. The Q&A ran very smoothly and we learned a lot of information from the teen hunk while savoring the food served by the host.

The event was for the promotion of the Vivo V7+, the brand's newest flagship model. What I love about VIVO V7+ are the ff:

World-first 24MP clearer selfie front camera with LED flash
Face ID security access
5.99" all-screen display with an 84.4% screen to body ratio
Comes with Matte Black color and Crown Gold and is priced at a reasonable Php 17,990.00

By Unknown - November 03, 2017

Nowadays, we have a lot of alternative ways of doing things in easiest possible way. We live in a fast phase technology where we learn new techniques and alternatives in order for us to be more productive without any complexities, which is in other hand a great advantage for each one of us. Paying bills is the best example that really gets us stuck in a long and boring ques. You need to be early for you to be able not to spend much time waiting for your turn. For people with shallow patience like me, you may end up pissed off. (Ughh!)

Hooooraaaay! Good news, Paymaya, a pioneer and leader in mobile money and digital financial services in the country is now in partnership with Facebook in a safe and effective new way for people in the Philippines to send money to friends, pay bills, and buy mobile loads and data using MESSENGER. Transforming the mobile phone into a virtual wallet is really a beneficial to us whom will keep us our accounts safe and making our transaction cashless payments via Messenger. Since according to Banko Sentral ng Pilipinas that 86% of Filipino households don't have a deposit account. This is much easier way for us to create new account for daily financial transactions.

According to Paolo Azzola, Chief Operating Officer of PayMaya Philippines, “This integration with Messenger represents an exciting new way to reach the unserved and underserved people and communities in the country by making payments available via social,”

Using PayMaya in Messenger is simple. A customer just needs to search for @PayMayaOfficial on Messenger on an Android device to start a transaction. The chatbot will guide the user on the available menu options. New PayMaya users can create their account using Messenger while those who already have the PayMaya app installed on their Android phones can link their wallet to Messenger.

Once in Messenger, they can inquire about their PayMaya wallet balance, pay bills and send money to other Messenger users, regardless if they are already on PayMaya or not. People can also buy mobile load on their phone with a substantial discount anytime, anywhere, directly in Messenger.

PayMaya also comes with a physical card that can be linked to the mobile wallet. This physical card can be ordered through www.paymaya.com/shop free of delivery charges and can be used at any Bancnet ATM nationwide, and anywhere VISA and Mastercard are accepted. PayMaya users can link up to three PayMaya physical cards to their app.

Canola Oil: Your Heart Mate

By Unknown - September 25, 2017

We Filipinos are known for being health and body conscious. We do everything the best we can in order for us to get fit and maintain our good figure. Eating healthy foods, and working out in a gym everyday, are some of the most common activities that we usually do. But, doing those things aren't enough, we also need to be particular with the ingredients that were put into the food we eat and it should be heart-friendly. One main ingredient in sauteing and frying is the oil used for it. On the other hand, I may be at a tight budget at home but when doing grocery shopping, I always give enough budget for the oil I use in cooking, regardless the price because I believe that oil is one of the main reasons of our heart's illness.

For me, there is only one oil that's good for our heart and that is Jolly Heart Mate Canola Oil. I have attended the cooking demo of the esteemed celebrity chef Donita Rose at the KCC Mall of GenSan. Tuna as one of the its star ingredients and this is what she said and I quote "As a food-centric city, it's important for every hosuehold to look for ingredients and learn cooking techniques that are beneficial both for health and satisfaction for the whole family". Like Jolly heart Mate Canola Oil which contains the lowest amount of bad fats (saturated fats) but packs in the good kind like Omega 3 & 6.

Meeting the Jolly Heart Mate Canola Oil ambassadress, Chef Donita Rose was a great oppportunity for me to learn more about cooking especially to local moms and foodies as she shares her techniques and passion in cooking during GenSan's 19th Tuna Festival, the city;s annual festival that celebrates its leading Tuna industry.

Chef Donita, prepared Ginataang Tuna with Luyang Dilaw serving good for 6 pax.

4 tbsp. ginger, grated

4 tbsp. turmeric, grated

4 tablespoons honey, divided in two portions

6 Green Chili Fingers, whole

Leeks, long strips for serving (soak in ice water to make it curl)

6. Add the turmeric and vinegar before throwing in the chili fingers and the bay leaves.

7. Bring to a boil and cook until liquid is reduced by about one-third.

Bodyrest Spa & Salon: Relax, Enjoy & Rejuvenate

By Unknown - September 07, 2017

We always encounter struggles in life, which is a reality. Sometimes we are caught in a moment where we find ourselves having a hard time in coping up. Different approach we do for ourselves in order for us to fell relaxed and calm. Well, in my case, i do spend much time with my pets, surfing the net, or even go for stress eating which i find them more comforting. But, believe me there are plenty of good ways to have a relaxed and stress free body. Here's my tip; first is having a whole body massage, just like what others say and i quote, "We can't buy happiness but we can buy massage and that kind of the same thing."

As a Bank employee, I often deal with clients with different personalities and in a different environment, which is part of my job. It is my daily routine to be flexible as much as I can but it's not that easy as it seem. Sometimes, it'll get you emotionally and physically drained and stressed. And I know, there's only one way for me to rejuvenate and recharge, that is to have a good massage in a relaxing paradise ambiance.

From a very long day of work, i decided to stop by in a massage spa beside Quennies Village, along National Highway. For the first time, out of my curiosity I tried the Traditional Sauna and choose the Package S2 (Hot Shower, 15-20min Sauna & 1 1/2 Hour Signature Massage) and saved P200. My 2hours experience indeed made me relaxed and full of showered energy from the hands of the therapist. (hehe)

Traditional Sauna Packages

What I also like in this SPA is their salon that caters clients until 11:00PM. They offer good, affordable prices and promos.

These are perfect for all busy bees like me and for those who are working up late and can't find time to pamper themselves at daytime.

Numerous clean and comforting massage beds to cater more clients who needs their services.

A colorful wall designed for kids massage corner.

They have spacious and elegant-designed portion for Foot Massage.

The gate to a relaxing paradise for a new you.

Dandi's Tiki Bar & Restaurant: A Perfect Place to Chill Out Away from the City

By Unknown - June 30, 2017

Few years back, I am fond of parties, that's why they labeled me as a party-goer which really I am; I used to go out to party with friends at the bar and get wasted. It's my way to meet random people that build new acquaintances and de-stress from very toxic long days. Nowadays, that's not me anymore because i just go out occasionally, but that doesn't mean I'm getting old, it's just that i am tired already from sleepless nights.

When I learned that we are going to a soft opening of a beach bar somewhere in Gumasa, Glan Sarangani with my SOX Blogger family, I was pretty excited about parties again (haha). I even imagined what the beach bar would look like, and if the bar crowd is the same with the bars in the Cities. That's the first thought of a person like me who is fond of going party bars.

It was a perfect time when we arrived at the location, an awesome afternoon and a lovely sunset. Feeling the warm sea breeze while looking for the bar, not even noticed that we already passed by it. As we went back, the look of the bar was not what I expected, i found it much better than what I was expecting and I know that there is more in this bar to showcase since this is just their soft opening.

"Weng-Weng", was the name of the cocktail drink that almost made us dance during that afternoon after we had our early dinner (hehe). This cocktail drink is made up of various alcohols such as Rum, Vodka, Tequila, and Brandy, mixed with orange juice.

The bar has an awesome view at the back that jives with the music played while relaxing from the sound of crashing waves.

They have installed colorful hammocks in every side of the bar for a more comfortable and homey ambiance.

They also offer delectable and affordable menus of food that brings you into satisfaction.

Bringing of tents is allowed, you will be provided space where you can place it for only P300. But, if you forgot to bring one, you can rent theirs or room right beside the lagoon which is for me the best place when you stay overnight. Room rate varies during peak season or ordinary days.

If you have plans going down south, don't forget to drop by at Dandi's Tiki Bar & Restaurant, where you can chill out away from the City with good food, great memories and experiences. They are located at Morales Beach, Gumasa, Glan Sarangani Province. Open from 7:00 AM. to 10:00 PM, for reservations and inquiries please contact (+63) 997-246-8274.
