Went this morning at the MEGA 3 day sale... all counters have long lines. I decided to pay my purchases on the teen's/children's section (kc mas maikli ung mga pila..inspite of it), I spend more than 30 mins standing in line. Lines are longer on the first floor and basement level...

Dami pera ng mga tao. Dami pambili.

It may be a mega sale but with long lines and mass crowd, I tend to avoid such and just go on a regular day and pay the regular price.

We would have loved to add handsets like the LG Optimus G Pro, the Huawei Ascend D2, the Lenovo K900, and the ZTE Grand Memo to the list, but they don't even have definite release dates in the Philippines yet. So we're settling for the six previously mentioned.

Myphone is actually a decent brand. When my wife was looking for a phone, the saleslady compared the specs of Myphone and a Sony smartphone. The specs of Myphone are superior to the Sony smartphone at half the price. My wife bought Myphone. It is powered by Android so walang kaibahan sa ibang smartphone that is powered by Android.

Suportahan ang sariling atin.

Will be 3x bigger than SM Aura: SM Prime moves opening of Seaside City to 2015

CEBU, Philippines - If everything goes well as planned, Cebu will already be home to three SM supermalls by 2015 with company officials determined to open in that year what would be the world's fourth biggest shopping mall SM Seaside City Cebu.

SM Seaside, which broke grounds last April 12, 2011 in its 469,000-square meter location at the South Road Properties (SRP), has been appropriated a total budget of P14 billion and is expected to house over 2,000 food and retail outlets from both local and international brands.

This is the second time that the original budget for SM Seaside is reported to have been adjusted.

Three months back, SM Prime Holdings President Hans Sy in an interview said that the company had made adjustments to its destination mall project at SRP by increasing budget allocation to P8.5 billion from the original P6 billion.

Earlier reports also cited SM Seaside to open in the second quarter of 2014, but Sy in a recent interview with the Cebu press explained that the construction will take a bit longer since the mall is three times bigger in size as the new SM Aura Premier, thus they are currently hitting a new target which is 2015.

Last Thursday, Sy led the opening of SM Aura, the newest addition to SM chain of shopping malls in the Philippines which has been described by officials as “redefining the retail and lifestyle scene” in the country with its high-end lifestyle destination theme.

Sy said that just like SM Aura, SM Seaside is also going to introduce some tenants from international brands that will open their outlets in Cebu for the first time.

He also emphasized SM’s current efforts to upscale their new locations in an attempt to better cater to their intended market.

SM Aura is an example of an up-scaled mall which according to him provides customers with an upgraded look and feel in a way that does not make them “intimidated”.

Sy said SM Aura’s opening will provide Cebuanos with a preview on what direction SM Seaside is leading. He revealed that they invested around P5.7 billion for SM Aura which is located at Corner McKinley Parkway in Taguig City.

Sadly the only local in Myphone is the brand or maybe the map at the back...

The rest is made in China.

Anyway, most smart phones are made in China even Iphone and Samsung.

Im not sure of Blackberry and HTC.
