DIGIMAP Opens Newest Store at Gateway 2 Mall Araneta City

First time to actually know about this brand Digimap, but really feel how they've aggressively expanded operations in the Philippines. This store they've recently opened is near my hood at the Gateway 2 Mall in Araneta City. 

They are having several specials during store opening including a default 21K off in select MacBook, iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch models. 2.5K off on select AirPods, 30K off on select Apple products if you use Unionbank Credit Cards at 0% interest, and free Soundcore Earbuds for the first 50 customers, and a 10% discount on partner accessory brands from June 26 to 30. They have their friendly Superstars at the store if you have questions about the devices too.

Currently they have Digimap Ayala, Digimap Robinsons Starmills in Pampanga, Digimap Parqal, Digimap Robinsons Jaro in Iloilo, Digimap Robinsons Gentri, Digimap New Mall Greenhills, Digimap Robinsons Lipa Batangas, Digimap North Tacloban, Digimap Robinsons Roxas and Digimap Robinsons Tagum. They also have Digiplanet Alabang Town Center,  Digiplanet Centrio, Digiplanet Capitol Bacolod and Digiplanet Estancia.

This one in Gateway 2 is certainly a good addition since there are no other authorized distributors of Apple products nearby, it will service a lot of people who need new products and those who plan to make a switch!

Congratulations Digimap! This is the time to live, play and connect this side of town!

Gift To Self: #SmartiPhoneX

December has been a rollercoaster ride for me. I've had a lot of ups and downs but I don't complain. I work hard and knew that this would be a great time to have a GIFT TO SELF, because I haven't been doing that for the longest time. 

I have been longing to get a phone that would match my needs and to tell you honestly I've been lugging around my coverages using three phones, my old iPhone 5, my iPhone 5S and a crippled ASUS 6 inch Laser. Both my iPhones have already gone bloated on me but still works and all I needed to do was just replace the batteries (thanks to the store I go to in SM San Lazaro) but my ASUS Laser 2 phone showed signs of breaking down as some parts of the screen don't respond to pressing anymore (so I had to install an app just to have a home button). My games there had me worried so I had to put them all in my old iPhone just so I could play. Long story short, the iPhones that I have lasted for years and didn't give me major problems, so when news broke out that there was a new iPhoneX, I had to have one, I knew it was time. 

It was also my time for retention as a postpaid subscriber for Smart. When I heard Smart Communications was releasing it December, I knew I had to get one from them. Their plan was obviously the BEST because if you think about it, they are offering it with a plan for only Php 3,199 a month for 2 years which means I can get this dream phone less than the actual price plus a prepaid plan Php 1,499 that fits my lifestyle (already included in the Php 3,199 price tag). I was wondering what could have prompted them to actually give it away at this price because if you think about it, you'll save thousands of pesos if you buy it from them instead of the Apple Store which priced it at Php 65,000 per unit. That device alone would cost Php 2,700++ a month, a difference of about Php 15,000 if you subtract the plan, now isn't that crazy?

The iPhone X also takes superb photos, live ones and even great videos. I've been using it for a few weeks already and the images just come so real as with the iPhone X. The funny thing is that if you see the shots even without editing you'll already think it's amazing, what more if you touch it a little, people go crazy when they see it.

Now I've got a powerful phone that takes gorgeous photos, ample amount of storage for those videos I have to take plus tons of things that previous iPhones haven't been able to do. They removed the audio jack and kept it with the Lightning cord. They have a special adapter which is included in the box so you can still use the regular earphones if you would need it. Drop tests, depth tests and waterproofing reviews had all of them feel at awe with the iPhone X and I guess this not so common GIFT TO SELF is going to serve me well for years to come. 

If you want to know more about the plan with NO CASHOUT then visit Smart's page for it over at http://smart.com.ph/iPhoneX and thank me later!

It's totally worth it!

Power Mac Center and ADAM elements at the 21st Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta

I was invited to go to a trip up north for the 21st Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta with some of my blogger friends to try out one of Power Mac Center's best selling products, a brand called ADAM elements. I'm an iPhone user since they discontinued the Blackberry, so it's quite a long time already since I've had my iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S. As a blogger, I've taken thousands of photos, tons of videos too because of my coverages and you know I would suffer in storage because of that. I've been surviving using 2 16GB phones because I have fast LTE connection courtesy of Smart Communications (which I am super thankful for) where I upload my media real time so my phone won't get full. Sometimes, I couldn't still delete some of the files on my phone because I blog on it too and need the photos to be posted on my @kumagcow instagram account fast. 

This is the 32GB iKlips DUO+ which I used during the Hot Air Balloon Fiesta, it was easy to transfer files and take photos because you don't have to worry about storage.

This is the iKlips DUO which I won in the raffle, and now it's part of my life.

I've been looking for  a solution for my storage problems but I couldn't really find the one that would be easy to carry around and connect to my laptop when I need to. ADAM elements took us to take photos of the Hot Air event and had us compete with our co-bloggers to see who could whip up an excellent shot without worrying about storage using iKlips (the app), iKlips Duo (first generation hot swappable storage) and iKlips Duo+ (which I had that afternoon). I actually had the capability of putting all my old files on it and making an experiential video about the trip, so here you go and enjoy!

I actually had 4 entries in mind and wanted an element of humans in it. This one was for the German Balloon, pulled by men who worked so early in the morning before the lift off around 7ish.

An element of love, there were tons of brides and grooms who did their prenup in the venue.

This was the ceremonial first fire, done by the Captain himself

My photo entry called TRINITY. It won me an iPAD2 from POWER MAC CENTER!

I would like to take this bit and thank POWER MAC CENTER for bringing us to Clark Pampanga, thank you also to ADAM elements who gave us an experience using the iKlips DUO and DUO+ storage (one of which I won in the raffle! Thank you!). Also, thank you to the fine people of 21st Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta aka Ms. Millet who gave us Media Passes for the event. Thank you for changing my life ADAM elements!

MOPHIE Battery Cases and Powerbanks

We said hi to the best selling battery case brand in the market called MOPHIE. A brand that has been in California and North America since 2005. They have been noted for style and engineered performance providing full case protection for phones and extra power for smartphones. They are the same manufacturers of the popular Juice Pack which I have also reviewed in the past. They've got a whole line of new devices that pretty much does the same thing and more. It is also available in 130 countries and is operating in California, Michigan, Netherlands, Hong Kong and China. I've personally used some of them and they've pretty much lasted quite long for what it's worth.

MOPHIE is the only authorized power manufacturer in Apple store so you will see them worldwide. They also have placed a commercial in Superbowl and now have 90% market share in the US and is gearing to increase now in Asia. There's a MOPHIE difference, they are triple certified and is the only one that's both a battery and can protect your phone. They do quality, and has priority charging as a feature which means it charges your iPhone first before the battery. That's smart!

They have different Juice Packs for every need. They also have it in different colors because we all need that in our life. They also have a waterproof and protect case called Juice Pack H2PRO for ultra rugged power and protection for your devices. They also have compact ones like the Juice Pack Reserve for those who would like it thinner and lighter plus it retails for under US$100. They also have Juice Packs for Samsung phones, particularly the S7 which people have raved about. For those who need ppwer banks in their life, they have MOPHIE Powerstation (in 3X abd 8X designs), Power Reserve and Power Reserve 2X. They have wireless charging available too, since businesses and individuals have set up infrastructure or devices for it, they're getting accessories made just for it. It charges on contact, they have different mounts too. Most of these will be available in Digital Walker and Beyond the Box stores and only range from Php 1,950 to Php 6,950. Take note though, these products does not charge phones but almost every device that have USB charging as a function. By the way, they will have USB C charging technology next week which is a good thing. It's coming people! Oh and it's also perfect for POKEMON GO when it rolls out in the Philippines, so get them while it's hot!

For after sales service, DIGITS will replace the device if it's under a year. So you've got them covered and safe within that period, that's re-assuring!

The Coolest Gadgets for Summer 2016

Spent the evening with the good people from Digits Trading. They're one of the largest gadgets and accessories distributors in the country. I couldn't even fit in my hands what brands they have but it includes Marshall, Braven and some new ones like Vest (that does anti radiation accessories) and Fuse Chicken (which have Apple accessories). We're here to find out some of the coolest gear for Summer 2016.

This is the vest Anti Radiation Headset. If you're looking for best deals on electronic gadgets, this is a good place to start. The thrust this year is to get your gadgets to become more healthy and safe. It makes sense since we're using them for a long time. The wired headset is made sturdy, and the concept is to lessen the radiation while you're listening to your favorite songs on your smart phones. If you're streaming music or video, this would actually help and lessen radiation worries for you and your family. I'd definitely consider this as one of the coolest things you can have this summer. Now the only thing left is a trip to a beach or that lovely destination you've been thinking of all year.

There's also a wireless version of it, this is the vest anti radiation Bluetooth headset. If you're not a fan of wires then this would be a great alternative. It's a little pricey, almost twice the price. Hopefully we can get more affordable gadgets by getting the best shopping coupons at http://www.myvouchercodes.ph/.

Aside from the Earphones, vest also has Anti Radiation smart phone cases for iPhone 6S and 6S+. It protects your phone from bumps and drops. It also gets you about 89% less radiation exposure without compromising signals with an additional PCB for your antenna. 

The vest Radiation Shield can prevent those that are coming from your laptop's battery and WIFI antenna. It also would be a good thing for heat reduction, confidently making you work without worries of exposure up to 92%.

Fuse Chicken boasts of the IPHONE phone dock, car dock, Apple Watch dock and Titan. They're made with the toughest cable on Earth and I think they have every right to claim that since it's made of industrial grade cable that is made of high strength steel. It is both flexible and might probably be the last charging cable you'll ever need in your lifetime. It works best for your phone that uses lightning cables. You'll never see it peel off or get chewed by your pets. I wanted to have this long cable actually because I have already bought about 4 original ones and they all got ruined after daily use. This for me is a solution, and hopefully we get to experience it soon.

Then we saw the BRAVEN BRV-PRO speaker and accessories.

This one is the Stacking Plate, which you can use to stack multiple BRAVEN speakers so they can sync with your Bluetooth connection and play music on a whole different level. I actually have an older model and just like it, the BRAVEN plays super crisp audio without distorting it too much with too much bass. You'll love it!

To make your speaker fancy, this one is their Glow Deck. If you're out in the woods, you won't have to use your precious batteries because it glows with LED's while you're playing music in the background.

This is the Action Mount. You can now go on adventures, ride your bikes, drop through mountains and still have that music play while you're doing everything.

For environmental freaks, if you run out of batteries, don't worry because you've got the BRAVEN Solar Panel. Just go and tuck it out on a sunny day and it'll charge your device automatically.

If you run out of phone batteries, don't worry because you've got this Battery Pack to help you through your camping activities. Just hook it up and use it like a power bank in those emergency situations. You've got the best gadgets within your reach, now go get them before your next beach destination. You'll love it like I do!

That's our roundup of the coolest gadgets you can have this summer. Make sure you get them while it's hot literally, and figuratively. Everything is available in Digital Walker or Beyond the Box Stores nationwide!
