Cheap Calls To Philippines Using Libon

My youngest sister has been living in the UK for more than a year now. She moved there to be with her husband. They are planning to bring their only son to the UK next year.. To say we miss her terribly is an understatement. Last Christmas, we spent our first without her. We miss her laughs, doing crazy antics with her and all the things we shared with her. This Christmas will be our 2nd without her. We still miss her that much but thanks to smartphone applications for communication, we’re chatting with her more often.

Why my sister who lives in UK chose application to call back home?

Communication application for smartphones are the cheapest alternative for calling your loved ones at home when you’re living in a different country. It’s basically free! All you need to do is download an app and call anyone, anywhere, and anytime without the long distance/ international expensive call fees.

And when it comes to mobile apps for communication, my sister recommends Libon. It’s an application for Android and Apple Smartphone. You can download it for free on Google Play or AppStore. Libon is developed by Orange, the biggest telecom operator in France.
Libon provides very cheap calls, chat and voicemail applications.

Calls from Libon to Libon is always FREE. All you need to do is download the Libon App in AppStore or download the Libon App in Google Play, ask your relatives to download it too so you can enjoy cheap calls anytime, anywhere!

Aside from the free call using Libon to Libon, my sister really loves this app because she can make very cheap calls to the Philippines. As I have mentioned, her son is still here and they uses Libon international call when her son is not online. Yes, Libon can call to any Globe or TM number here in the Philippines! And the pricing is really cheap, I tell you! Libon calls to Philippines pricing is as low as 90 cents (Philippines Pesos) or 2 cents (US Dollar).

The rate is less than 1 Philippine Pesos per minute! No wonder my sister has been calling us almost everyday!

Want to call your love ones as much as you can like my sister does? Or Are you missing someone from abroad? Or missing someone here in the Philippines? Call them using Libon!

No credit on your Libon account? Don’t fret! I am giving away 10 Libon gifts pack which includes 1000 minute* free calls (worth €19.99)

Just tell me on the comment section who are the person you are missing (and wants to call) the most this Holiday!

I am going to choose winners before the year ends and winners will get their Libon credits on January.

Sale Finds: Stackable Plastic Shoe Box & Wooden Hanger for 88 Pesos!

I read from somewhere that is bad feng shui to keep the shoes in open space. Shoes should be kept in close (but well ventilated) shoe rack or shoe boxes. It’s an eyesore to keep the shoes in their original box..specially if different sizes and different brands. Ayaw ko din naman ng cabinet.. hindi ko lang feel.

Before our big move, I have been looking for plastic shoe box supplier and wooden hanger supplier (because wooden hanger is #syala). Divisoria’s the best place daw but with my condition, Divisoria is not an option. I gave up on my #syala closet dream and the plastic shoe box dream. Pero the dream is not giving up on me courtesy of Japan Home Centre!

Madami pala mabibili sa tindahan na ito. I used to buy my Katsu sauce here and bento supplies na sobrang limited naman.. I didn’t know that there is much more to bento tool and katsu sauce in Japan Home Centre!

Wooden hangers for only 22 pesos each! 88 Pesos ang isang set eh, 4 pcs ang isang set. Sa Divi, nasa 25 yata ang wholesale price. Sulit buy di ba?

And yes.. the plastic shoe boxes:

It’s a superb storage for shoes! It’s transparent so you can see the shoes inside. It’s breathable (small holes on the side) and is stackable. It can fit most of shoes except for boots (ankle boots are OK). It can also fit up to size 6 Nike Basketball Shoes.

We already have 25 of this box and I need some more! Buy this plastic shoe box storage at any Japan Home Centre… and if you need more of this, just ask the store manager to order or save some for you and leave your contact details to them. Sobrang mabenta sya at mabilis maubos!

Basketball Rubber Shoes For Kids- The Playground Marikina

I have been searching where to buy basketball rubber shoes for kids. Nakita ko sa Facebook ang Kidsports Philippines, they say they carry the latest styles from Nike , Adidas, New Balance, Puma, Vans, Converse and Havaianas for the active kids. I am not into the latest styles naman (or maybe my kids are). I just want to buy them a decent and durable rubber shoes that won’t break the bank. The last basketball shoes I bought for them was years ago at hindi pa din sira, maliit na lang sa kanila. It was a Rebook rubber shoes that I bought from the US (less than 3k lang ang isa). Another kiddie rubber shoes brand na nasubukan ko na is New Balance. I bought one from Zalora at matibay din talaga, also got it for less than 3k. For me, 3000 PhP for kids rubebr shoes is fair enough, pag lumagpas pa doon, nyaaay! Mahal na yan for me!

Since Kidsports Philippines carries the latest design, it is expected that the price of the rubber shoes, specially Nike shoes ranges from 5000 PhP to 7000 PhP. Nilunok ko na pride ko, sige na nga.. mababait naman tong mga bata na ito. Pagbigyan na sa hilig sa sapatos. Kaso, when we went to Galleria to look for their branch there, hindi namin makita. Umuwi silang lugi at sawi..part of me was wagi (sssssh hehe).

But of course, the daddy won’t stop hanggat hindi niya nabibilhan ng basketball shoes ang mga anak nya. And he managed to find one store that sells Nike shoes at discounted price! Say hello to The Playground Premium Outlet:

Location: Nodison Centre, Marcos Highway, Marikina, 1801 Metro Manila

It’s very easy to find, kaunting kembot lang from Sta Lucia Mall.

Halos puro Nike shoes ang naabutan namin kahapon. It was their last day na pala (store is closed until further notice daw.. for a bigger and better store daw.. nag uupgrade, ibig sabihin mabenta!)

Choosing Basketball Rubber Shoes For Kids

Basketball Rubber Shoes For Kids

Well, according to my shoe addict brother, luma na daw design kaya medyo mura… eh anong paki ko sa lumang design. I’m after the qualityyyyy and the price!

And yes, I bought that baby Jordan shoes!

Aside from shoes, may mga Nike shirts and jackets din sila. This was screaming at m when we enter the store:

Hindi ko kinaya, binili ko na din! 50% off naman eh!

What I like about the store?

Super duper friendly and accommodating staff! Inabot kame ng halos 2 hours kakapili.. ang gusto ni Kuya yung KD sana, kaso gusto din ni Diko iyon kaya pinagbigyan na niya. Sabi ni kuya Jordan na lang sya. Si Sangko naman may Jordan akong nakita na less than 3k lang (mura!) so kahit medyo malaki eh kinuha ko na din. Tapos si bunso nga (baby #5) binilhan namin ng Jordan din.. eh si Daddy, Jordan din kinuha. Noong nasa counter na, biglang tekaaaaaa! Si Diko, ayaw na ng KD at gusto Jordan na din sya! Halaaaa!

Eh di pili na naman ang mga bagets! ending, si Kuya nakuha din yung KD at si Diko yung Kobe X USA. Gutom na gutom na ako! Mas matagal pa sila mamili ng sapatos kesa sa amin ni Sati. Buti na lang, may katabing resto ang The Playground.

If you’re looking for Nike rubber shoes for baby, kids and adults (and bigger size too!), check out The Playground Premium Outlet in Marikina. Visit their FB Page for updates on their store opening: The Playground Premium Outlet FB Page.
