PLDT Telpad’s TelMeHow App Launch

The 3rd day of May 2012 marked a momentous occasion for PLDT with the launch of Telpad’s newest app, TelMeHow. Held at the luxurious Prive Luxury Club at the Fort, I joined fellow bloggers together with PLDT Executives, PLDT TelMeHow Mentors and other partners to witness the launch of this exciting new feature from PLDT Telpad. The event was hosted by the ever-gorgeous Sarah Meier-Albano, whom I've really admired ever since her MTV VJ days.

Guests were given the opportunity to try and experience using the TelMeHow app through a couple of activities. Before the event started, we were each given a raffle stub at the registration area with a question that we need to search the answer for using PLDT Telpad’sTelMeHow app. At the later part of the event, guests were grouped according to the TelMeHow icon stickers we were given also upon registration. The activity was pretty simple and involved using the TelMeHow Fashion app to get fashion tips on how to transform a day-time attire into a fashionable evening outfit. At least 4 models in each group were given the “transformation” to their wardrobe with the use of the fashion accessories displayed on the mannequin figures. After the activity, the groups displayed their creations through a mini-fashion show. I was one of the “models” chosen in our group and though I was really nervous, I had fun experiencing being a fashion model just for a night. :)

Pilipinas Teleserv – Teleserving the Nation, One Call at a Time

Securing government issued documents, like Birth Certificates, used to be tedious. Before, we would have to wait in line for hours at the municipal office just to request for a copy of our birth certificate, and then we would have to wait for at least a week to have it in our hands. Thankfully, that is an option we can now say good-bye to with the services from Teleserv.

For 12 years now, Teleserv has helped Filipinos from all over the country through their customer service solutions that make transaction with select government agencies and other companies in the private sector smoother and easier. The company started in 2000 with the NSO (National Statistics Office) as their first client, which has also been their main service ever since. Requests for authentic NSO documents such as Birth, Marriage and Death Certificates are made available thru easier channels: phone call, web chat, SMS, e-mail, and via social networking sites like Facebook, with 2 to 3 days door-to-door delivery guarantee anywhere in the Philippines. True enough, when I requested for an NSO copy of my birth certificate last year, it was delivered to me on the 3rd day from the day I made the request.

They also have the DFA Appointment System, where individuals wanting to apply for and renew their passports can conveniently request for an appointment online or through the phone, including also door-to-door delivery of the passport. I had the opportunity to try this service for my passport renewal and it was very easy and convenient. I also noticed that setting up an appointment schedule didn’t take like a month compared to last year. Well, I was supposed to have my passport renewed last year (but had to cancel the appointment schedule), and so I went online to book the appointment. That was about the last week of June and the next available slot would be by the month of August. When I tried to book the appointment again this March, I also had my passport renewal schedule on the same month – just a week after I booked it online. And now, I already have my passport with me! :)

Their client services have then widened, including providing customer service support for food establishments such as Mang Inasal, North Park, McDonald’s, Max’s, etc. By this year, they would add GSIS to their list of services and would soon have Paypal as one of their payment options.

In case you need to have your birth certificate delivered to you in a jiffy or would need to secure your own or renew your passports, here’s what you need to do:

Places To Find Stylish Dresses

There are lots of places where you can find stylish clothes like maxi dresses and high waisted shorts.  Don't give up in finding them, there are tons somewhere! I know that high waisted shorts aren't quite bursting out everywhere, but they are for sure around and on sale somewhere. If you want to look super hot this summer (and I don't mean from the weather), you should get some of these dresses into your closet as soon as possible. They are all beautifully made and come in a great variety of colors and styles.

Don't worry if you think you think clothes that no one else does, dresses come in all different kinds and there will surely be some that fit your stylish needs. Make sure to go shopping with a friend! Everything is more fun when you can take turns trying on different clothes and seeing someone else's individual style (or maybe just get matching dresses!). When it comes to finding an awesome clothing outlet, there are tons of different places that you can look. If you don't like the stores at malls around you, try online! If you've never shopped online before, you are surely missing out. Personally, I do almost all my clothes shopping online since I can not only usually find thing much cheaper than in stores, but also find unique clothes so that I never have to worry about matching with some random stranger.

If you have a party coming up, make sure to try your best at shopping online since a unique dress is imperative to showing up at a party. No girl wants to be wearing the same dress when they go out unless they are best friends. There are tons of designer out there and I'm sure that you will find one with a style similar to yours. I dont really like any designer labels, I go more for a "genre" kind of look. Dressing alternative has kind of always been my thing, but maybe it's yours too! In that case I suggest searching on a search engine for cool online shopping stores to sort through and find your next treasure!

If you haven't quite found your perfect style, don't fret! Your entire life your style will change so there's really no reason to be in a rush. Just dress comfortably and feel confident about yourself and the rest will come along just fine.
