LUMOS TABLET: The Perfect Blend of Function and Fun for only ₱6,999

I'm a writer, content creator and jack of all trades. We're pretty known in the "industry" for dishing out stories fast. I often write about events that I go to a la minute. It's not magic, but hard research done before interviews. It's also about taking notes, and wanting to keep the exciting things happen, with the goal of telling folks while it's fresh, and as soon as I get it. Arguably, in this day and age, you can't discount the fact that being "fast" counts too. It's now an established workflow.

We often write with a desktop/laptop computer at our home office. If I'm out, I'd pull out my notes and checklist and constantly write with a smartphone with real struggle. I could have carried the laptop with me but with the travel I do and my diagnosed sciatica, it's not going to be a comfortable solution. This is where the LUMOS Tablet comes in. 

Screen size is good. I can see what I need to see for work or play.

Carried this and used it before an event, finished 3 articles with it.

Case cover fits like a glove!

Light weight, even has a  front and back camera!

This is something I'd be able to use for work and leisure. Good tablet for kids too!

This hails from the same brand of projectors I've had the pleasure of using in the past (for work and entertainment). The LUMOS TABLET has a 10.1 inch screen, capable of playing 4K videos, has 8 GB of RAM and a 6000 mAh battery (for hours of use), but still kept quite affordable. I could watch on streaming apps, watch YouTube videos, or enjoy hours of entertainment with Karaoke or play game apps too. This would be an ideal device for what I'd want to do since it's got WPS Office Apps (that has a word processor and presentation software in it), and is lightweight. It also fits in my bag, and since it's a bundle, comes with a Bluetooth keyboard, a mouse, pen (editing would be a cinch!) and its own case cover. It works like a mini laptop, but works without the worries of it being too big.

It can be cast to a Smart TV, I see what I exactly have on the tablet to the TV I have at home. YouTube, Netflix, Presentations all work!

Surely, this could also work with kids who would need to study or folks who would want to cast on TV's for presentations, everyday leisure watching of your favorite K-Dramas, series, movies, reality shows and more. They've got lots of folks, celebrities, YouTubers and Influencers who have attested, given their trust and confidence to it. It is after all, the perfect blend of function and fun. If you would want to get one, simply visit their official website HERE. 

LUMOS TABLET: A great blend of function and fun!

Wouldn't that be a good idea?! Head on to https://lumosprojector.ph/products/lumos-tablet to know more about the device. It's a good investment for family, and for yourself.

With Globe MyFi, You Can Do It All!

Life seems coming back to normal and yes, bloggers are starting to attend events and press conferences left and right. I've been working remotely on occasion, while it's hard to juggle a laptop, 2 mobile phones and a DSLR camera, I pretty much would depend on data that my postpaid phone would be able to accommodate. My iPhone is pretty ancient and yes, batteries are kinda dismal. So instead of putting it in hot spot mode all day, I needed something that can handle all my devices and save me some headaches when deadlines occur.

 

Meet the new Globe MyFi LTE Advanced, it's a device that can connect up to 12 devices. This only costs Php 1,899 and links to an LTE Advanced network powered by Globe. I took the liberty of powering one up because I needed it for uploading content fast, I've been known to do that right after a movie, press conference or event that I cover. It's actually pretty easy to set this up, and you can customize and secure the network if you need to. 

When you open the box it contains the unit, a sim card pack, the battery, they Type C cable, the Quick Start Guide and the Warranty Certificate. Go and insert the micro sim, take note of the SSID and WIFI KEY at the back side before you insert the battery. You need this information to connect to the device so make sure you do that. There are two buttons on the device, the Wifi Protected Setup button (WPS) and the Power button located on the side. The reset button is inside the device when you open the flap. Turn it on, and wait for the prompt. It will indicate when a signal is available and also count the MB's that you've used. Got one of my phones and connected to the device, I automatically got internet connection because this has Surf4All99 or 9GB of data which you can use for all sites in the first 7 days.

To change the WIFI settings of your device, login to your router via 192.168.8.1 on your browser. Type in the username and password, I used admin for both and got to the interface above. This is the place you'll change your network name and password, if you want to elect a new one, go ahead and do it here. Save the settings and you should get the prompt that it has saved successfully. Then reconnect to your network with the new password you saved. Make sure you remember the router password so you can go back to the page if you want to change settings. If you forget the password, that's what the reset button on the device when you open the flap.

What I love about this device is the battery life. A single full charge could make this device last around 48 hours. Since its got its own battery, you don't need to depend on your mobile phones that drain too fast when its on hot spot mode. This frees up a lot of the power consumption I can use for social media, or other phone functions that I need to cover the whole day. Aside from that, I can share the connection to a few friends who would need it, that's very convenient for work and play.

 I also downloaded the GlobeOne App to register the number and load it up using that. It manages the connection, and it's good that you can buy load and subscribe to promos all in one app. The namesake works, and I'm glad I'd be able to know more about how I spend my data, budget it especially since I already have a postpaid line. The convenience of having Globe MyFi is just insurmountable, I'd be glad to have this as my companion now especially if I'm going out for work. I hope you find that feeling too!

The Globe at Home MyFi LTE costs Php 899.00 while the Globe at Home MyFi LTE Advanced costs Php 1,899.00. For more information about these devices and other Globe products, you may visit their website at https://new.globe.com.ph/prepaid-wifi/myfi-lte. With it, Carry Mo Ang Lahat!

Big 40% Off on Anker products for Shopee's 9.9 Sale

Seeing Anker on Shopee lately and yes I've had a few of their powerbanks, phone cables and plugs previously which saved me countless times in press events and coverages. I usually work with an iPhone so it drains a lot of power when I edit, use social media apps and do live blogs. I'm kinda known writing about events as it happens, and yeah I finish articles sometimes even way before the event ends. 

There is a sale happening this 9.9 in Shopee and so I checked out a couple of things in their official store inside the app. After all, Anker has my trust when it comes to electronic devices and accessories, so a little rummaging around their shop wouldn't hurt!

Anker PowerConf Bluetooth Speakerphone

https://shopee.ph/product/7516924/5446246541?smtt=0.0.9

Their PowerCore Metro Slim is a 10,000mAh powerbank which can probably last you a whole day for multiple devices. I used to bring two powerbanks previously but with its large capacity it can simply solve those issues. I even did lend some friends my powerbank and they returned it to me still working. Best of all, this thing is very slim, pretty portable that it fits in your pocket so you can just grab it and go. It also does high speed charging, has anti slip fabric on it and trickle charging mode for those low battery moments you often have.

The Anker Eufy Cam Kit 1080p Wire-Free Security AI Camera on the other hand has a 365 day battery capacity. It can also do 1080p Full HD video day and night plus 16GB micro SD card and talk real time. That would be great for accepting packages and mail, especially these days when we all do deliveries. For the Anker PowerConf Bluetooth Speakerphone, it's got a 360 degree voice pickup for conferences, auto voice enhancement if needed and can last 24 hours wirelessly because of its 6700mAh battery. I guess they've all taken the battery game a long way since I've gotten my first Anker, not surprised though.

There will be big things happening on Shopee's biggest ever 9.9 Sale. Make sure you download it off Google Play or iOS because you don't want to miss  this and save tons of money in the process. Start here.

Trick is to keep everything ready in the cart and once those vouchers come out just head on to checkout fast! That's not a secret anymore! 

Blocker Airborne Shield Now Available at Shopee

Times are hard, and we're all confined in the comforts of our homes because GCQ has not been lifted yet in the metro. Our government can only do so much and we're all doing our share in keeping ourselves safe by washing our hands, wearing masks, and keeping distance from everybody else. But how safe are we really?

I've recently seen that Blocker is currently sold in Shopee. It's said to be an extra personal protective shield against airborne infections such as viruses, bacteria, mould and offensive odours. The device uses a chemical compound called Chlorine Dioxide that sanitizes the air in your immediate vicinity. You can carry it around, very lightweight, fits in your shirt pocket or attached in a handbag to keep you safe. They also encourage this to be used by kid 3 years old and up, also pregnant women, or just about anyone who goes out to get supplies for home.

The Blocker uses Chlorine dioxide, which is an effective agent against pathogens such as viruses and bacteria. It is in liquid form, that eventually turns into gas which they use as disinfecting and environmental purification agent recognized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the World Health Organization (WHO) and Japan’s Ministry of Health. If you haven't thought of adding precaution to your routine safety protocols at home, this would be a good way for you to be ready for the new normal. Download the Shopee app on the App Store or Google play here.

Dream Gifts for Dad at Baseus

Christmas is just around the corner and if you're like me, you probably don't know yet what you would be giving Dad for this holiday season. Now don't you worry, because our friends from Baseus has the perfect one you could give your Fathers who always carry around his gadgets in his car, you're going to make his life easier. You should only do this if you want to be the favorite son/daughter LOL!

This is the Baseus Christmas Car Accessories Gift Set. This actually costs almost 2 thousand pesos originally, but since Baseus is in a giving mood, they're going to be generous this Christmas and slashing a ton off its price.

They've got a fancy Fragrance Holder, a Car Mount for your mobile phone, a Charger for your lighter port and a 3 in 1 cable for all your phones. 

It comes in this fancy Christmas themed box which houses everything. 

You pull it out and it's got the Fragrance Holder and USB plug which fits in the lighter port of your car.

This green snowflake box comes in  the center, it is glued in on the slot above so you have to take it out to get to the Car Mount. 

I love how it's got three heads, like a hydra. You can charge your iPhone with the lightning cable, your Android phone with the mini USB, and other ones which has got the USB C. I actually have three phones for coverages, now that just means I don't have to carry around 3 separate cables anymore. 

I also love the braided 1 meter cable because it would be so difficult to destroy, including the shielded ends of it. This actually is something that most iPhone users can relate to because we often change em every few months/weeks.

This is the USB plug which you can stick into the lighter port on your car. It's got two usb ports so if you're a Grab driver, you can lend the extra one for your passengers. Which reminds me, this would be perfect for you too!

This is the Fragrance Holder, with its sleek modern looks, it could fit any model of a car and even your home. I would be sticking it into a dashboard, so finding out it's got adhesive already is so convenient. It's kinda permanent and if ever we need to put it somewhere else, we can buy the double tapes from stores. It's also very easy to install.

Roll the bottom to the left and open it up. It's got a knob on the center. Twist it and place the scent ring on it. Twist it back then put the cover back. Push the top part so the scent permeates on the car. I love how lemony it is! Haha!

I'm gonna have to buy refills of it, I haven't checked if it is available in Baseus, it would be nice no?

This already would cost a lot in reality but since it is bundled and prices have dropped at Baseus, you can get it all for Php 1,290. Oh and the phone holder/car mount is better than the usual ones.

It sits below the box of the cable which I had to remove.

What I like about this is the clamp at the bottom so you get less occurrence of drops in case you're a little clumsy. It's sturdy and has a ball head, you can point it to your preferred direction, also the base has adhesive on it. Make sure you decide well since it is permanent. You might have to buy additional adhesive if you placed it in the wrong place.

Baseus has so much in their store and this is just one of them. I bought wireless chargers from them and still use it til now. They also have warranty depending on the device you purchase, it is quite reassuring. This would be a good thing to give Dad, your boyfriend, your friend this Christmas. It could work for women too, technology is for everyone anyway!

Baseus stores are at the 3F of Trinoma Mall, Cyberzone of SM Southmall and SM Fairview. Go rush to their stores while sale items like these are still there!
