Real UnliCHAT Experience with Globe’s GoUnli30


I come from a "Globe family". That is, a family in which all family members are Globe subscribers. So I could say that I've been a Globe subscriber my whole life. Being a student, I need to always be connected to my family and peers in the most inexpensive way possible. I resorted to using regular load to be used only for important matters. That was my way of communication until I learned about Globe's new GoUnli30.


Globe GoUnli30 is definitely not your ordinary promo. Globe GoUnli30 does not only give subscribers the normal unlitexts and unlicalls experience, but also gives subscribers the real Unli chat experience! 


With GoUNLI30, subscribers get unlimited texts to all networks, unlimited calls to Globe/TM, and unlimited chat with the best messaging apps like Viber, Kakao Talk, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, WeChat, Line and the telco’s very own messaging app GMessage without the need for Wi-Fi or additional data charges. Available for only P30 valid for 1 day, GoUNLI30 gives you no excuse to stay out of the loop and connect with more than 1 billion users around the world regardless of mobile network or location.


How sweet of a deal is that?! Not only can you stay connected via calls and texts, but also by your instant messaging apps as well without the need for Wi-Fi! I've been a user of Viber and Facebook Messenger for quite a while now and having this promo helps me appreciate those apps even more, since I normally just use them in a Wi-Fi zone.



Go all-out unlimited with GoUNLI30 and UNLICHAT25 now. Register by dialing *143# and then choosing GoSAKTO on your Globe mobile phone or texting GOUNLI30 or UNLICHAT25 to 8888.

Staying connected,

Ramen Crave!

Hi!

I've been watching some TV and I noticed that there's one food that's been hitting the spotlight - Ramen. Maybe because of the rainy season or maybe just because Ramen isn't your ordinary type of food that this dish gets so much hype these days.

So what is Ramen? For those who don't know, Ramen is a Japanese soup dish. It is basically wheat noodles served in a carefully simmered meat-based or fish-based broth, usually with soy sauce or miso for added flavor. Common toppings include meat slices, dried seaweed, egg, and green onions. Each kind of ramen has different flavors and toppings. 


I wanted to try one myself so when I passed by a ramen restaurant, I didn't let go of the opportunity. I dined in a ramen restaurant named Ramen Bar. Ramen Bar is located at The Hub, Greenfields District, Ortigas, Mandaluyong City but they have three other branches located on other parts of Metro Manila as well. 



Ramen Bar has a nice ambiance, the old Japanese ramen-ya (ramen bar) meets modern interior design style. 



Now for the ramen itself. I ordered the Shoyu Ramen. Its description on the menu says: "Soy infused Tonkotsu Ramen topped with tamago, naruto, negi and chasyu". I was actually with my mom so we ordered one and had it split. Even though we had it split, we still felt like we ordered solos, since my bowl was still brimming with ramen! The service was good and very quick. We waited for less than 10 minutes! The ramen was piping-hot when it was served.

The Fall of Five Review




      
  • Title: The Fall of Five
  • Author: Pittacus Lore
  • Genre: science fiction, young adult, fantasy
  • Release Date: August 27, 2013
  • Pages: 355 pages
  • Series: Lorien Legacies
"I thought things would change when I found the others. We would stop running. We would fight the Mogadorians. And we would win.

But I was wrong. Even though we have come together, we barely escaped from the Mogadorians with our lives. And now we’re in hiding, trying to figure out our next move.

The six of us are powerful—but we’re not yet strong enough to take on their entire army. We haven’t discovered the full extent of our Legacies. We haven’t learned to work together. And there’s still so much that we don’t know about the Elders or their plan for us. Time is running out, and there’s only one thing we know for certain: We need to find Number Five before they do.

They caught Number One in Malaysia.
Number Two in England.
And Number Three in Kenya.
I am Number Four. I was supposed to be next.
But I’m still alive.

This battle is far from over."


The Lorien Legacies is basically a sci-fi series about a race of aliens called the "Loric" who were wiped out by another alien race called the "Mogadorians". The only members left of their race called the "Garde" were sent to Earth, each having numbers for names and a guard which they call their "Cepan". They all take different paths while under a protection of a charm in which as long as they remain apart, they can only be killed in order of their numbers. Each Garde possesses different powers called "Legacies". With these Legacies, they aim to stop the Mogadorians from conquering our planet and to restore their own planet, Lorien. But until then, they remain in hiding while they develop their Legacies and find each other.

The House of Hades is Here!

I stink at blogging. Mainly because I rarely get to post on my blog. For instance, my last blog post was one month ago. Maybe that explains my one and only follower and less than 500 views since I started this blog. Poor me. xD

But enough chit-chat! I'll proceed to what I'm really writing about. Yes. This is it. The moment we've all been waiting for (well, the PJO fans anyway). THE HOUSE OF HADES HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY RELEASED! After a WHOLE YEAR of waiting, PJO fans all over the world can now get the next book of the Heroes of Olympus series by Rick Riordan. 




The House of Hades is the fourth book of the series, succeeding the previous book, The Mark of Athena. The fans of the book were left hungry for more after the very, should I say, controversial (XD) cliffhanger of the Mark of Athena. We've been waiting our butts off since the last book. Old Uncle Rick just had to come up with that stupid (but great) cliffhanger.
