FACEBOOK: Check Your Other Inbox

Hey, peeps! Make it a habit to check your other inbox in FB. Why? Because you might be missing the most important message you've been waiting for!

Messages coming from people who are not added on your friend's list will go to your OTHER inbox.

I keep on hearing people missing raffle prizes deadline, important invitations, advertorials and the list goes on and on.

So, why miss all these when you can check your other Inbox at FB from time to time.

HOW TO CHECK YOUR PREVIOUS FACEBOOK EVENTS PAGE

HOW TO CHECK YOUR PREVIOUS FACEBOOK EVENTS PAGE

The reason why I made this blog post is because my fellow bloggers keeps on asking me how to check their previous months events. My goal is to primarily shed light to my non-techie blogger friends so they'll know how to find that elusive calendar information that they badly needed. Who knows this post may come out handy to non-bloggers as well.

Girls and Boys fret not when you can't seem to find your previous events on your calendar. All you have to do is to follow the following simple steps:

• Go to HOME

• Click Events located at the leftmost side of your page

• Click Calendar

• The most recent month and date will appear. You then choose the next immediate month of your event. In the sample I provided above, the most recent month is December 2013. So you have no other choice but to click November 2013, so you'll be able to see all of your events in the previous months. All you have to do is to click the previous month so you'll finally see the events page that you are looking for.

• After you click the month and date of your previous events, click the title of your event. Voila! You're now on your previous events page.

Good luck! Happy hunting! God bless us all. Smile!

GALAPAD™:NVIDIA® Tegra 3 quad-core processor 7” tablet PC

GALAPAD™:NVIDIA® Tegra 3 quad-core processor 7” tablet PC 

NVIDIA® , Banbros Commercial, Inc. and Galaxy Microsystems had launched the new revolutionary mobile gaming 7” tablet PC GALAPAD™ last July 4, 2013, at the Crowne Plaza Manila Galleria.

I was blown away with the specifications of the all new  GALAPAD™ 7” tablet PC! I can't imagine that such a small mobile device is powered by NVIDIA® Tegra 3 quad-core processor! The price? Suggested Retail Price for this revolutionary toy is only Php9,995.

During the press conference they allowed the members of the traditional and online media to see and touch the GALAPAD™ 7” tablet PC personally. 

The guy from NVIDIA told us that their super tablet allows users to enjoy the ultimate experience of mobility with ultra-realistic, interactive graphic effects and game-host-like experience. He said that even after several hours of standby mode the temperature of the galapad is still at a comfortable range. Unfortunately, I could not personally attest to that statement because I have not yet tried it (and I already own another brand of tablet and I have no plans on buying a new one yet, unless they let me try one.)

Play, watch, share, and connect like you do at home even when you’re out. The NVIDIA® Tegra 3 processor-powered GALAPAD™ makes it all possible by delivering great performance that goes wherever you go. You can count on its blazingly fast multimedia, great gaming, seamless multitasking, extraordinary productivity, astounding battery life and brilliant graphics. 

GALAPAD™ is created for mobile gamers. With an NVIDIA® Tegra 3 Quad-core processor, everything is faster – pages load quickly, game play is smooth and responsive, and running multiple apps is a breeze! Loaded with the 4.1.1 Andriod Jelly Bean, with its ultra slim 7" IPS display, GALAPAD™ delivers seamlessly brilliant colors and contrast ratio that redefine the best visual experience a tablet can offer, putting the best of everything in the palm of your hand.

According to a reviewer from Singapore pros are: high performance, decent build quality, attractive display and expandable memory. Cons : He did not like the short battery life and the low display resolution. Whoaah that is completely opposite from the claims of the Galaxy guy during the press con. Well, everything remained to be seen until I personally review this Galapad in the future.

ACER Goes"InTENse" at 10

Acer Goes“InTENse” at 10Launches InTENse breed of Acer products for the modern explorer

MAY 21, 2013, MANDALUYONG CITY, PHILIPPINES--Acer Philippines, the company that brought us those sleek, ultralight laptops, celebrates its 10^th anniversary today with a grand event at the Isla Ballroom of the Edsa Shangri-La in this city.

With the theme “InTENse,” Acer became more aggressive and pioneering over the past 10 years, and is now a major player in the electronics/IT industry in the country.

Offering its success to customers and partners, Acer is now focusing on today's breed of everyday explorers, those who continuously reinvent themselves and the world they live in to enhance, expand, and simplify the way they do things. The campaign showed how Acer has strived to be part of people’s lives, a go-to device for their needs. It also paves the way for the “recalibrated” Acer to emerge—bolder, more imaginative, more forward-looking and definitely more intense.

Acer’s 10^th anniversary celebration is graced by the company’s stakeholders, clients, members of government, media, and friends in the IT and business sectors. Acer Philippines General Manager Manuel Wong said, “it’s been a good 10 years and certainly they are looking to more inTENse years and beyond!”

“Looking back, we met many challenges but we sailed through all of them, thanks in large part to a highly motivated, driven and determined Acer Philippines team. Now that we’ve moved past 10 years, it’s not impossible anymore to look at 20, or even 30, years of bringing innovative and quality products to Filipino IT consumers,” he said.

Acer Goes“InTENse” at 10Launches InTENse breed of Acer products for the modern explorer

MAY 21, 2013, MANDALUYONG CITY, PHILIPPINES--Acer Philippines, the company that brought us those sleek, ultralight laptops, celebrates its 10^th anniversary today with a grand event at the Isla Ballroom of the Edsa Shangri-La in this city.

With the theme “InTENse,” Acer became more aggressive and pioneering over the past 10 years, and is now a major player in the electronics/IT industry in the country.

Offering its success to customers and partners, Acer is now focusing on today's breed of everyday explorers, those who continuously reinvent themselves and the world they live in to enhance, expand, and simplify the way they do things. The campaign showed how Acer has strived to be part of people’s lives, a go-to device for their needs. It also paves the way for the “recalibrated” Acer to emerge—bolder, more imaginative, more forward-looking and definitely more intense.

Acer’s 10^th anniversary celebration is graced by the company’s stakeholders, clients, members of government, media, and friends in the IT and business sectors. Acer Philippines General Manager Manuel Wong said, “it’s been a good 10 years and certainly they are looking to more inTENse years and beyond!”
