BPI-Italianni’s Shop Anywhere Promo
Posted by Rochelle Sy Chua On August 27, 2009
Went to Italianni’s for lunch for 2 consecutive days courtesy of my BPI receipts worth Php3k or more 😛
I really really love BPI promos, I think nothing beats it! I’m so glad I have chosen BPI Gold as my credit card.
This particular promo is open exclusively for BPI Gold Mastercard holders. You just have to spend at least Php3,000 anywhere using your BPI Gold Mastercard, keep the original receipt and you’re on your way to a great, great, greeaat meal!! 😀
Promo Period is from July 1 to September 30, 2009. Can be redeemed till November 30, 2009.
Valid for dine-in, Monday-Friday, 11AM-3PM.
At Italianni’s, we can either choose 1 of 2 of their famous big lunches!
- Grilled Fish with Fettuccine Gorgonzola
Grilled fish fillet with tomato, olive & caper relish. Served with fettuccine in gorgonzola cream sauce. The fish is just perfect!!!! The pasta is very tasty, I’m not a pasta person so I’ll probably request if I can have rice instead when I go back to Italianni’s hehehe 😛
- Beef Stufato
Beef cubes simmered in tomato herb sauce. Served with spaghetti pasta. The beef is soooo tender! The sauce is very tasty & yummy as well. I don’t know what to say, loving Italianni’s now 🙂
One thing that I really like is that even if I’m just going to pay for my drink and order this. The waiters still treated me like any other customer. I was still given this complimentary bread 😛
I notice for other promos (Citibank ring a bell?), the freebie they give is like a mini-one (mini popcorn, mini drink). As for BPI-Italianni’s, they really give you the full dish (as advertised, worth Php 350!!).
Totally a great promo, if you’re a BPI gold mastercard holder and you don’t know about this yet, it’s not too late. Go & redeem your big lunch from Italianni’s. I myself is a very happy customer! 🙂
Get a Post-It OC Sampler Pack for Free
Posted by Rochelle Sy Chua On August 27, 2009
Wanna get this for free? You definitely can!
All you have to do is to go to this link, register at the Post-It website & indicate which National Bookstore branch you like to pick up your free OC pack. No purchase required, totally free! Take note, this is till September 30, 2009 only.
I picked it up this afternoon at NBS Trinoma branch. (Was able to shop as well hehe!)
It includes a Post-It Pop-Up Notes in Paper Dispenser & an OC guide.
The OC guide is actually quite interesting. Let me share what is inside the guide.
Basically, it listed down all the OC levels, their characteristics and also what post-it products best fit them.
The 3 OC levels are the ff.:
- Novice-OC – You’ve just started to realize how important it is to organize. At this point, you most probably have a beginner’s OC tool with you wherever you go which you got as a gift from a friend. (Product Recommendation: Post-it Notes & Page Markers)
- Mid-OC – Organizing is already a part of your daily routine. You write your 3 most important tasks on your post-it notes. By now, you already have your no-fail organizing basics kit that you don’t leave the house without. (Product Recommendation: Post-it Notes, Notes Cubes & Post-it Flags)
- Uber-OC – Over the years of organizing, you have developed a highly effective organizing system that in the future will bear your name in its pending patent. A clean desk and a finished to-do list by the end of the day is your Zen (Product Recommendation: Post-it Notes, Flag highlighter, Flag Pen, Pop-up Notes, Arrow Flags)
D.E.I. Direct Sales
Posted by Rochelle Sy Chua On August 27, 2009
I discovered this recently from an email sent to me.
I had this impression that the only direct selling company that offers clothes & other beauty/fashion products is Avon. Apparently, there is D.E.I. Direct Sales.
D.E.I. (Dragonworld Enterprises, Inc.) is a fast-growing direct selling company of trendy & affordable clothes for ladies, men & children. Aside from this, they also provide an opportunity to earn money.
Started May 2003 with only 7 dealers, now they have 40,000 business associates nationwide. Its business opportunity is being endorsed by Winnie Cordero.
Browsing at their catalogue, it looks interesting and the price is not bad.
Here are some of them:
Aside from the products shown above, they also offered the ff. recently:
- Homecare Products (Fabric Softener & Dishwashing Liquid)
- Wheatgrass Products
This is more of an informational post, I’m not a business associate of DEI or have bought anything from them but I think other people like you would be interested in their products or business opportunity 🙂
If you’re into fashion or if you’re someone who’s looking for business opportunity, you can just go to their site at http://www.deidirectsales.com.
Laking National 1-day Advance Sale – Aug 27 2009
Posted by Rochelle Sy Chua On August 27, 2009
Today is my lucky day. The event that I was supposed to go to got cancelled but I already filed for a half-day leave. I decided to just chill at Trinoma Mall. Look what I found! 1-day Advance Sale at National Bookstore!
You know why I just feel so glad I discovered this? Because I’ve been planning to buy the Lonely Planet guides for quite some time coz I’ll be going to Taiwan next month. I wanted to make good use of my time and travel to the places that I should visit in Taiwan.
I was about to buy yesterday but I ended up not getting it because we can’t figure out the balance left in my Ayala eGC. I was thinking of just buying it next time. Now I know why it happened.. because… of the 1-day advance sale for Laking National members today!!! Wohoo!
Just to give you an idea why I’m so happy with my purchase.. I bought the ff.:
- Lonely Planet: China (Php 1,349.00) – bought it for Php 809.50 at 40% off!!!
- Lonely Planet: Taiwan (Php 1,559.00) – bought it for Php 587.50 at 75% off 😀
Take note though that this is exclusively for Laking National members. I was not a member until I discovered this so I applied for one without hesitation. What is Php100 if you can save as much as Php1,511.00!!!
Hello Kitty Online
Posted by Rochelle Sy Chua On August 24, 2009
I attended the Hello Kitty Online Bloggers Party at Yaku Restaurant, Podium Mall last August 20, 2009. It was attended by bloggers and organized by Level Up, sponsored by Level Up, Sanrio & Netopia.
Pictures from the event can be found here.
They gave us a demo of the game and also raffled out prizes, I didn’t win but I’m happy to be invited as I’m a BIG fan of hello kitty! So nice that there is an online game that has Sanrio characters. We were all given founders beta passes to try out the game first-hand.
I tried it out early this morning. I initially thought that this will be the same SIMS but apparently, I can compare this with World of Warcaft hehehe. It’s an MMPORG but more on the “cute” side.
First, you’ll create your character, customize it according to your preference. I named my character “Alba” (I just watched Time Traveler’s wife hehe).
Then we’ll explore the world, it’s soooo cute! It’s a truly magical world out there with places like London, Paris, Beijing, New York & Florapolis.
And we can also interact with Sanrio characters such as Hello Kitty, Keroppi, Bad Badtz-Maru, Pochacco, many more.
There are just so many things to do in HKO.
- Farming – allows you to plant, grow & harvest your crops
- Item Collection & Crafting – allows you to dig ores in mines or gather fruits from trees. You can also gain skills like cooking, tailoring, make furnitures & house building.
- Pet System – you can own different pets to defeat monsters.
- Guild System – Guild can also be formed inside HKO. players can choose one of the 6 sanrio characters as their emblem.
So glad that I’m one of the first ones to try out this great cute game! If you want to be part of the first few to try out the game, you can go to this link.
Before I forget, HKO players can also get a free account with Sanriotown (http://sanriotown.com) where they can send emails, post blog entries, share pictures, play mini games and a lot more.
Here are improvement areas that I hope HKO team will address:
- We can only use our mouse as controls for the game. I really hope we could also use the arrow keys in our keyboards.
- We can only add our HKO buddies if we’re both offline. I hope that we can add buddies even if they are offline.
- Can’t zoom in or zoom out 🙁 We have to be very dependent on the mini map in this case. I hope we’d be given that option coz it will ease gameplay a lot.
- Be able to create more than 1 character. We’re only allowed to create only one character today.
That’s all for now. Let’s see if I have something more to say in the future when I get to play the game more 🙂
