Tatt Awards 2015 (Greatness Amplified) Officially Launched!

Tattoo recognizes greatness among connected individuals, communities in 2015 Tatt Awards

Globe Telecom mobile broadband brand Tattoo has kicked off this year’s Tatt Awards, the country’s premier award-giving body that recognizes social media movers and shakers in the Philippines. Currently on its fifth year, the Tatt Awards is honoring greatness in connectivity this year, celebrating individuals, groups, and communities who have made an impact in the online space with their brand of content.

“This 2015, the Tatt Awards not only celebrates those who have been great online, but the connectivity that made their greatness possible. The Tatt Awards is part of Globe Telecom’s commitment to enabling the Filipino digital lifestyle, as it institutionalizes greatness, creativity, and innovation in the digital space. Before any content can make its mark, it must be liked, reposted, shared, followed, and passed on. It is through these connections that good things can become great. It becomes greatness amplified and greatness shared, and this is what this year’s Tatt Awards is all about,” said Ray Guinoo, Director for Tattoo Mobile Broadband.

The public is invited to nominate positive acts, ideas, talents, projects, or movements that achieved greatness by choosing to connect. Unlike previous Tatt Awards, this year’s nominations are not divided into specific categories. Any person or group may be nominated so long as the nominee has been able to create an impact through quality content that made a mark to the greater majority. The nominee must have also used social media to connect with the rest of the world, thus amplifying and sharing the work done.

The nominations will be screened by the Tatt Council composed of key personalities from various fields, all of which have been chosen for their own brand of greatness. The members of the Tatt Council include environmental advocate Anna Oposa, social entrepreneur Bam Aquino, Basketball TV presenter Jinno Rufino, filmmaker Quark Henares, musician Jim Paredes, TV host and author Bianca Gonzalez-Intal, TV personality Daphne Osena-Paez, Emmy award-winning TV producer Mike Carandang, and technopreneur and Xurpas CEO and founder Nix Nolledo — all of whom will face the daunting task of choosing the 2015 Tatt Awards winners from the public nominations.

The ten awardees, or who will be known as The Great Ten, will be revealed and awarded at the Tatt Awards Night on November 11, 2015. Previous winners of the Tatt Awards include phenomenal star Vice Ganda, fashion blogger Tricia Gosingtian, social media sensation Kimpoy Feliciano, celebrity chef Erwan Heussaff, and technology blogger Abe Olandres for Yugatech.com.

Public nominations will run from September 16 to October 15, 2015. Nominations can be submitted via www.TattAwards.com.

Tips On Buying The Best Glasses Online

Are you bored of your old pair of glasses, but too lazy to make that trip to the nearest optical shop for a new one? Then the best solution for you is to shop online. An evolution from the stone and brick optical stores, online spectacle shopping websites are widely gaining popularity. As it is a relatively new practice, people have not mastered the art of online spectacle shopping with accuracy yet. Here are seven tips that will help you to buy your desired pair of spectacles with a click of a button.

Understand Your Prescription

Before getting your new pair of glasses, make sure that you get your eyes checked and power updated by your eye doctor. There are two kinds of lenses- single vision lenses which have one corrective power or multiple vision lenses which is for people who are both near-sighted and far-sighted. So, you should know which one you need. Along with that you should also know your pupillary distance so that the corrective power is placed right before your pupils. Also decide your lens type before you sit to order your new pair of glasses. Though plastic lenses are the most popular ones, polycarbonate and high index 1.67 lenses are also available. Get UV- protected lenses or lenses that come with an anti-reflective coating if you cannot withstand the harsh glare of lights.

Know Your Numbers

Every pair of glasses has a set of numbers written on it. These refer to your lens size, bridge and arm length. Check your previous pair to know these measurements. Knowing these numbers will help you to purchase a frame which is a perfect fit for you.

Use of the Glasses

The range of application of the glasses differs from person to person. An athlete will need the kind of glasses that does not get damaged easily, while another person might just need a pair of reading glasses and a third person who sits at a computer all day will need a different pair. Therefore, before ordering your new pair of glasses, you should know exactly what purpose are they going to fulfil.

Trying Frames Virtually

These days certain online spectacle shopping websites allow you to try on a whole range of frames so that you can decide which pair suits you the best. All you have to do is upload a photograph of your face and put on different types of frames on that photo to see which one is the most suitable for you. Look for the colour, shape and styles that you want and see if they suit your face. If at all you think that they don’t match, you can always browse through the variety of options available.

Pick Frames That Suit Your Face Type and Match your Personality

Choose frames that will hide your blemishes and enhance your best feature. Also spectacles represent your personality type. You should also keep in mind the kind of clothes you regularly wear while ordering your new pair of glasses. Don’t order glasses that might clash with your everyday appearance. Just because a certain kind of glasses suits your friend, it is not necessary that it will suit you. So don’t buy spectacles on a whim.

Receipt

Vision insurances pay for a part or the whole sum of money for spectacle purchase. So look for websites that give you receipts which can be used to get the money that is needed for your purchase from your insurance company.

Generous Return Policy

Always opt for websites that will present you with a sparkling return policy. Some glasses shopping websites are not customer friendly. Try to avoid such websites. Compare two or three websites to see which one gives you the best return policy. Some allow you to return the glasses within a month of your purchase, no matter what your cause of return is. Other websites such as Glasses Online allow you to return the glasses that have scratches within a year of purchase. Some allow repair free of any charges within a stipulated period of time. Since you do not have an optician to guide you on your purchase, stick to the website allowing you the most generous return policy.

Use Vouchers before Buying

This age old saying goes not only with fashion or grocery shopping but also when you buy glasses online. Use latest discount offers available on various online stores. You can find Glasses Online discount codes on Savingmart. There are other sites such as Flipit where you can get latest offers.

Buying a new pair of glasses online is not actually as daunting as it seems. These tips will help you master the art of buying glasses online in no time. Simply get the important facts right and purchase the best fitting and most suitable pair of glasses that you want.
