Watsons Mother’s Day Video

Most moms I know they will never tell you that they are proud of how they are as a mother. Most of them are in doubt. Most of them do not see themselves as the mom they wish to be. Do not get me wrong, these are great moms we are talking about, but they just do not see themselves the way their kids see them or the way people see them.

Kaya naman Watsons Mother’s Day Video is sapol na sapol sa puso ng mga nanay:

Di ba? When asked, a mom usually describes a great woman as something that she wishes she is as a mom. Little did she know, that is exactly how her kids, her husband, and her family, thinks of her.

And these great moms, they deserve a break. Moms need to pamper themselves and be pampered. Happy mothers who look good and feel great in turn make their loved ones feel great, too.

For Mother’s Day, make her feel like the perfect woman who looks good and feels great always. Here are some ideas:

Give your mom a homemade gift card for a foot and hand massage. It should be redeemable forever.
Put together a special basket for mom filled with beauty and wellness goodies such as facemasks, massage oil, a bottle of multivitamins and nail polish. Basically, the basket should include items your mother will enjoy.
Give her gift cards from her favorite store. If she loves beauty, then she will enjoy shopping at Watsons. If it’s fashion she’s into, she will surely love the wide selection at The SM Store.
Write a letter or poem telling her why she is the best mom in the world and what makes her perfect.
Serve her breakfast in bed. If you can’t cook, slice some fruits and serve it with toast and butter on a beautiful plate.
Take her out for dinner and a movie. Take note of what her favorite restaurant is and what movies she likes to watch.

#PlayItRight: 5 Ways to Know if a Site is Distributing Content Illegally

One of the most popular sources of entertainment in the Philippines is streaming videos online. However, many people think that everything available online is legal. Piracy is a huge problem and something that cannot be solved easily. Moreover, it exposes viewers to dangers like viruses, malware, identity theft, and affects the livelihood of those producing and starring in films and TV shows. Even more dangerous, illegal sites also carry child pornography content.

Globe has launched #PlayItRight, an advocacy to educate Filipinos to download or stream content from legitimate sources only, and to share the dangers of streaming or downloading from illegal websites.

Here are five ways to know if a site is streaming or distributing illegally:

1. It has a lot of dubious-looking ads

One of the hallmarks of an illegal streaming website is the number of ads that appear as pop ups. Oftentimes, viewers will have to go through several of the popups before they can even watch the promised content. This is dangerous because they may contain malware that can steal private information like passwords, bank account numbers, and credit card numbers.

2. The content has low quality

Content quality is usually low, with choppy or poor resolution, inaudible audio, or mixed-up subtitles. Some are even recordings at a cinema! Because these streaming websites obtained the movies illegally, their copies are inferior. Another sign that a film was stolen: the copy has a visible watermark that says it’s not for distribution.

3. You need to buffer a lot, even if your internet speed is fast

A fast and reliable internet connection doesn’t mean the viewer can watch from illegal streaming sites smoothly. These websites are not meant for content delivery so viewers will experience lag and buffering, especially if many viewers access the site at the same time. Legitimate streaming sites work with telcos to make sure that viewers get the best experience when watching content.

4. There’s no contact information

Websites normally have a “Contact Us” page where users can reach the administrators should they encounter a problem. A site with no such page is suspicious because it means they have something to hide. Illegal sources don’t want to get caught illegally streaming and distributing copyrighted content so they don’t put their contact information to avoid legal repercussions.

5. Movies currently showing in cinemas are already available online

The telltale sign of a site distributing illegal content is that movies still being screened in cinemas are already available in the site. Film studios rarely grant immediate distribution to films that are still in theaters, so sites peddling these are questionable and most likely acquired illegally.

Protect yourself from the dangers of illegal streaming and support the film and TV industry, make sure to #PlayItRight. Globe offers affordable access to legitimate content through international partners like Netflix, Disney, HOOQ, FOX+, and Viu.

Althea Korea Big Beauty Blowout Haul

If it is Korean Skin Care, I’m in! And if it’s Korean Skin Care sale from Althea, SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

So here’s my haul from that sale along with how I plan to use it and how much I saved from it.

That much products is 2 small Althea boxes plus 1 big Althea box. Total cost is 6040 Peso from 10990. Here’s the breakdown:

Caolion toner P1650
Caolion serum P1690
Caolion cream P2130
Caolion eye gel P1950
Cleome (the saem) toner P800
Cleome (the saem) essence P840
Cleome (the saem) cream P840

TOTAL: P9900 less P4950 (50% off)= P4950

P4950 plus P1090 (Caolion Premium Hot & Cool Pore Pack Duo, not discounted)

TOTAL COST: P6040

Two sets of skin care brand and I saved almost 5000 Pesos. Ang saya di ba?

The Caolion set I am supposed to use kasooo I finally found a supplier for a brand that I have been dying to try. My skin no longer fits the age bracket of Laneige. I am old. And my skin requires ~~mas mahal~~ mas moisturize na products. Initially, I was eyeing Laneige Perfect Renew line but it was always out of stock at Althea. I decided taking my chance on Sulwahsoo because from what I’ve heard, this is the most appropriate for my age. Pero why not other brands?!? Eh bakit ba, loyal ako sa Amore Pacific, that’s the company behind Etude, Laneige, Sulwahsoo, and a lot more Korean Skin Care and Korean Make Up brands we know. So that’s the reason why I am giving away a complete set of Caolion.

The other brand, The Saem is for the Mister. He was also using Laneige pero ang hirap din humanap ng supplier! So when I saw this at Althea at nakasale naman sya, bumili na ako ng isang set. I am a sucker for sets. Ganyan talaga ako. I just can’t use other brands along with other brands. It’s my OCD talking. Pero pag naubos itong set na ito.. I might buy Sulwahsoo for him.. para terno na talaga kame. My OCD self will be happy!

Althea Korea does not only offer skin care brands but Korean make ups too! Feels like shopping in Korea minus the airfare! Sign up ka na>> Althea Korea Shopping.
