XSTIG: 3D Vizion

New technology gives Philippine ad industry a much needed make-over

Something new has just landed on Philippines’ shores, and it’s all set to drive things towards a more interesting direction.

In a world where the medium has become the message all on its own, the Philippine advertising industry has a new platform for brands to shine on.

Advertising over the years

A world that prides itself on being able to reshape people’s lives, the advertising industry has found ways to subvert the common avenues of TV, radio and print for more strategic dissemination of information. Subversion and disruption are keywords for the advertising industry because with the growing sophistication of the mass market—one that is just as tech savvy—there is a real need to rise above the noise and clutter.

SM Cyberzone TechnoLife Affair

Technology, Cosplay, Gadgets and all in between that is happening at the SM Megamall

Activity Center for the technolife affair. The three day event that features the latest

gadgets and technology. The event happened on March 24-26, 2011. The first two days

introduced the latest technology on day one and day two featured the experts in Yahoo and

Microsoft to harness the power of social networking.

The third day was the main event which features Cosplay acts and celebrities like sisters

Alodia and Ashley Goshiengfiao. Which drew a lot of attention from the mall goers. Alodia

also displayed some of her costumes that she wore and in which some won different awards.

It's my type of event since I do love blogging, technology and especially Cosplay.

  

Aside from cosplay and blogs, there was also a seminar for photography and making money

using the internet by Jomar Hillario. These gave beginners and ideas that they can use in

taking pictures and going online in the future.

I also passed the booths around the venue. One of them was for Microsoft which features

their windows 7 phones like HTC, and they also exhibited computers that uses the new

Internet Explorer 9. And the juicy part is after you try them you can get a prize on their

pachinko. I got a I love windows 7 pin! Something to add to my pin collection!

Azrael Coladila also gave a talk about blogging 101. He shared his experiences, how he

started and gave a lot of tips about blogging. Bloggers were also present to cover the

event. There is also a blogging contest after the talk and the winner can take home an

HTC phone! Ayeeeee!

What a fun day to celebrate earth hour!

I deserve an Android phone!

I NEED ONE BADLY!

Why do you deserve an Android phone?  (this is the question from a post in jehzlau concepts)

Yes, you heard me right, more than a want, I need an android phone. Why? Its so obvious that I never had a phone like this, and since I am a blogger, I don't have a camera always handy to capture events and moments that I can share to the world. I am techie, yet my tools are not of the newest type (my laptop is the the first netbook ever... try to guess what it is...) but I always keep myself updated. I also love to use applications whether its games, scientific, etc. I just love to discover. 

 

As a blogger, I use a lot of sites and connections everyday. I tweet, I plurk, I Mac, I think, therefore I am. Going to events is tiring yet fulfilling as you would meet up with a lot of people everyday. I am also into the comics and cosplay scene which are also techies in their own way as they usually get their materials online and form text clans. Having a phone is great, but having the Samsung i5700 Galaxy Spica Android Phone would be the best!

I love to travel and meet new people, which blogging has gave me more opportunities for this one. So that is why I BADLY need one also because my (china) phone is showing signs of deterioration after more than two and a half years of service and a lot of accidents it has gone through. However, I think its time for me to move my cellphone a notch higher to also improve the techie lifestyle.

This phone would also be a good music player since I am also into music. I am a fan of samsung that most of the appliances that I had were of this brand (TV, refrigerator, and my mother used to have a samsung phone years ago). I always maximize the tools that I have, even my laptop although of an old model, is still handy in writing my blogs and organizing files. What more if I can acquire a more advanced tool for my everyday needs.

I love joining contests. And yeah, even though I maybe a probability in this race for the android phone. I would really take the chance and do efforts. And even though you may find my reasons simple, I love doing my thing. If ever I will win this one, It will create a big impact as I am can do more with a phone that can do a lot of things. Also it brings more color to my life as I can make more quality post in my blog and the power to do them on the go. That is how I badly need this one!

SM Cyberzone Summer Festival Adventures: Final Stop!

Like what I have promised in my last post  almost a month ago, I again went on an exciting adventure at the SM Cyberzone Summer Festival and this time and for the Final stop  would be SM Megamall! Even if this is my second time to experience this, It still became a unique and more enjoyable day because of friends that I have with me on this one.

I thought for the second round of my adventures I would have to go alone, since I understand that most of my friends are busy with their own lives. But It was very fortunate of me to have some other blogger friends with me going to SM Megamall. Even though I live in Pasig, I just atteneded an earlier event in Makati where I have met with my blogger friends. Coincidentally, they also were on the way to SM Megamall to attend the same event and was also curious about what will happen.

I was with Ate Sire and her sister Mabelle from Makati to Ortigas via the MRT and when we arrived at the mall, we have also encountered fellow blogger Jonel who has been to the event center. And as we were at the registration booth we also came across anime Blogger, jay Angeles which is a good friend of mine. So the solo flight that I was expecting turned out to be a group experience. Of course, we went to the Picture booth to have our pictures taken and this time, I tired to pose with a prop (a hat). And again, I am posing myself like the model that I am.

Since the mall is bigger, it should be expected that the booth will be crowded and they will try out  the different areas to experience the SM Cyberzone Summer Festival. Because of this, there was a long line of people who wanted to try out the Wii games and the Guitar Hero. Although I was planning to seek redemption on how poor I gauged at the same game the last time. I actually enjoyed watching others  do their stuff which I think I should get a Wii for myself soon. Also there was also a Private Iris booth for the kids, too bad I'm way past the age limit.

Well also one interesting thing is again I have encountered the DJ and his booth were you can ba a DJ for a day.  This time, I get to see him perform live and took the chance to record it and share it with you.

we were also greeted by a heavy downpour of rain which actually stranded us for a while, we took the opportunity to do one more thing. Go online and plurk/tweet about the event we were now. So it was another epic win for that day as it officially ends the SM Cyberzone Summer Festival on its last stop in Megamall. Summer maybe almost over as school days are near and the rainy season starts, It was a summer adventure that many have enjoyed at the different SM Malls in the country, including me and my friends at the Cyberzone Summer Festival!  Woohoo!

SM Cyberzone Summer Festival Adventures!

If the summer heat makes you feel uncomfortable to spend your vacation, why not drop by SM Cyberzones in SM Malls and experience their one of a kind, SM Cyberzone Summer Festival! And for the first stop, its SM Southmall Las Pinas! Its actually a long way from  my house in Pasig but I was curious and thought that this would be an different experience and could be an adventure, and what is interesting is because on that day would happen to be my birthday! And my favorite hangout in the mall would be the cyberzone which  filled with a lot of gadgets, games and a lot of interesting things plus there is also free wifi!

Although quite tired from the trip, It felt nostalgic going to SM Southmall again (which I have not visited for years). They still have the old Cyberzone logo which is I think was also the first one to have.The SM Cyberzone Summer Festival was filled with interesting and fun stuff that I think everyone can enjoy. There was a photo booth  where you can pose seriously or as wacky as you can be and best with friends or family members. Then there is a photo editing booth to enhance the picture elements, say adding a little glitter on you picture and something like that. And to top it off, there is also a Print Area where you can print those photos using Epson printers. I got my picture taken with the representatives from SM Cyberzone which I got to chat with and learned about their plans and activities with Cyberzone.

Aside from the photo experience, I also got a chance to play DJ for a day with real audio equipments! This was my favorite since I am a audiophile and love to do mixes and beats. The DJ was very good assisting me with the equipments and sounds, which I feel I could be one in the next few years. Also, there were also a exhibits of gadgets from Samsung, Torque, and MSI that you can check out the features. Another interesting and fun experience would be with trying out the Wii games like sports wii and Guitar Hero that young and old tried and loved them. And I really sucked at Guitar Hero honestly but it was really entertaining.

After I passed all of the booths, I had gone to the prize booth and picked out from a raffle for a chance of winning a prize (I hope to win an umbrella since I felt there would be rain), which I have not. But I did enjoy the time and forgot that there was a brewing weather outside.  I was able to spot some familiar blogger faces there but it either I was busy at a booth or enjoying myself at the DJ booth to talk to them. So far, it actually made my day, my birthday that is. And I think I would have another adventure with SM Cyberzone Summer Festival at another date.

here are some of the other pics for this adventure. Now I am planning on the next time I could have this adventure again!
