Best of December: Let beTV stir up both hemispheres of your brain!

According to psychologists, the left side of the brain controls logical thinking, while the right side showcases one’s creativity. One uses the left hemisphere for analyzing and the right for creative pursuits.

Stabucks Philippines #Rekindles Christmas Spirit

Yes, its that time of the year that we will indulge in cups of coffee and frap and the like to collect stickers to get their 2013 Starbucks Planner. The Starbuck Cheer Party held at Starbucks Bonifacio High Street. The event was filled with starbuck fans who wants to have their stickers collected to get the coveted Starbucks planner.

For this year, the planner comes in three different colors: green, brown, and black. And according to starbucks, they made sure the most of the ingredients in making the planners are recycled materials that follows their promise for an earth-friendly coffee compan.

In the cheer party there were a lot of games which gave away a lot of starbucks GCs and premium items. Starbucks also had a cup art competition with customers and their partners from other starbucks stores.

The night was also filled with music, fun, and free taste of their Christmas drinks and desserts. I actually won in one of the Q&A contest and got myself a pair of GCs. Sweet! So this marks the day that starbucks fans can now start collecting stickers and grab those planners for the coming year 2013 and Rekindle the Christmas Spirit!

Cheers!

XSTIG: iPhone 4S is coming here in the Philippines

I love the iPhone and how it revolutionized the way people do things with applications or apps.  We were not  used to apple products because of the dominance of other brands. However, when the demand began to rise, many (including me) have seen its features and amazing innovation that also made the world go 'WOW'.

Though the founder of Apple and the iPhone, Steve Jobs is gone, he left with the dawn of the newest generation of the iPhone, The iPhone 4S. This phone has been the talk of the town for months and people await what 'magic' it possess. And indeed on its launch in the US, it was well received by the public with features like the 8 megapixel camera, iOS5 and Siri (an voice operated program that can understand and executes the command for easier use).

Blah Blah Blogs BER edition/Rainy Days

SEASONS CHANGE BUT MY LOVE REMAINS THE SAME...

Due to the inconsistent weather pattern that is affecting not only our country but the whole world, the BER edition also had a sudden change of heart back to RAINY DAYS. Yes, its the rainy days again. To think that its alrady december and the expected December cold breeze should have arrived  since the last week of November.

But there was indeed a odd delay of the expected weather that we shoul be having here in the Philippines. It would be either be too hot or too wet. I won't be surprized if we will experienece hail or snow and cheeseburgers in the coming weeks.
