#ALDUBEverAfter for Talk N Text's FREE Viber, Facebook & Twitter

I still remember the time when we covered Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza's first ever announcement of being with the Talk N Text family. It was a day full of love, full of happy moments because they launched promos like the Alden Load and Maine Load of which subscribers would be able to extend their unlimited text and unlimited call extension promos which they can do whenever they want. 

Remember this? :)

This time, it's even BIGGER news because in selected TNT promos, they're throwing in FREE Viber, Facebook and Twitter. They even went ahead and made a video with AlDub in it exchanging sweet text messages before meeting each other! This also looks like they're going to get married! Is this the #ALDUBEverAfter ?

Doesn't it feel like a movie? Isn't this the sweetest commercial ever? :)

Ms. Evelyn Jimenez of TNT's Prepaid Marketing Head says “Like Alden and Maine, TNT subscribers can now make their interactions a lot more fun and creative through Facebook, Twitter and Viber which now come FREE with select TNT promos. You can also easily extend your favorite TNT promos 365x for only Php 5 per day. Now it's easy to keep in touch with your "Katropas" this season!”

Extending is also easy because you can do it by dialing *121# and registering your favorite TNT promos. Then after that, just extend it the next day by texting EXTEND to 4545 the whole year! Isn't that great? Now there's more reason to love ALDUB all over again while they show you how it's done on AlDub's love adventures with Talk N Text!

Julie Anne San Jose's FOREVER

We met a very thankful, happy and proud Julie Anne San Jose yesterday during the blogcon of her EP album called FOREVER. She was in that mood after several successful shows, phenomenal afternoon prime programs and a few wonderful singles released too. This one which will be available digitally on iTunes and other sites and she couldn't be more proud about it. They've worked painstakingly hard on this particular track since they've recorded it in the same studios as with other noted RNB and rap artists in New York. She's also working on this US career which she hopes will get bigger even if she's an Asian/Filipino artist. I get the vibe that she's not even worried because she knows she can get there with hard work and perseverance.

She treated us with the wonderful song before we started asking questions. Here's the video for FOREVER her carrier single for the album with the same name.

Fashion: Forever21 First x Forever Launch

It's one of the stores I frequent to even if they have a teeny weeny section for men. I adore their wife beaters, their pants, their shirts, the shoes, the jackets, the bags and the little things in the 21MEN section. It's like everything's pre selected already and all you have to do is grab a bag and stuff it to the brim and see if you can still swipe your credit card after. They have kilometers of sections for women and you'll almost get lost while inside the store. The sweet yellow designs you and I may have seen before went kaput when I visited their gigantic store in SM Megamall by giving it a hip makeover. The Californian brand went more black and white, wood and brick with some industrial metal shelves seen shining here and there. It's more clean and chic unlike the more girly version they had previously, although still VERY edgy as much as they've done it in their 9 stores nationwide. 

So I did the next thing and stayed a few meters from the other bloggers and concentrated on the 21MEN section in this 2,600++ square meter store just to stay in tune with my site's theme. Mind you there are tons of worthy clothes, accessories that any shopper would love. They even have a Shop Forever promo where MasterCard holders can get to win a wardrobe of their choice, and possibly a 21K shopping spree every 2,500 worth of purchase. You can even double your chances of winning by using your SM Advantage Cards, SM Prestige,  BDO Rewards, PRiMO Cards too if you shop until the 31st of October 2014.

Then here I am posting my favorites
