Some years ago, I never thought that I'd be interested in photography  much less know my way around them. For years now I've been a loyal client of Pixel Pro, just because they really know their craft and provide me only the best. Just recently, they sent me their latest promo and it ends on December 16, 2012!


Brief Promo mechanics:
Purchase NX1000 and get a chance to win Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 or Samsung St65 digital camera
Promo period: Nov.17-Dec.16,2012  
Per DTI-NCR Permit no. 8281 series of 2012



So if you're a newbie blogger, someone tired of lugging around a huge SLR or just want a significant upgrade, grab Samsung's newest Samsung NX1000! It's available  with 20-50mm or dual lens kit with 16mm and 20-50mm. 



From Samsung Website 
Style and Perfection, All in One.
Introducing the 20.3 megapixels Samsung Smart Camera NX1000 with 1/4000 fast shutter and Built-in WiFi. 
20.3MP APS-C Sensor
Customized for the NX System, the brand-new, professional-grade, 20.3MP APS-C CMOS Sensor produces images that rival those of any premium DSLR. Each individual pixel has a large sensor area and receives more light, guaranteeing low noise levels, high dynamic range and accurate color differentiation. The higher sensitivity allows you to shoot during low-light situations without graininess or other noise. The new sensor also provides Full HD video output capabilities. 
1/4000 Fast Shutter
Shutter speed can make the difference between capturing an iconic image and missing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The NX1000’s 1/4000 shutter speed gives you the flexibility to shoot like the pros—at varying speeds and light exposures. The NX1000’s shutter even automatically adjusts itself as it senses environmental factors such as temperature and camera direction. And the electronically controlled focal-plane shutter reduces exposure errors.
And look! It comes in pink, too!! :)




Pixel Pro Philippines has great things in store for us this Holiday! Purchase Samsung NX1000 with your Citibank card and you get zero interest (0% Interest) on selected Cameras! 

*for Citibank card holders: upto 18-24mos installment on Selected Canon, Panasonic, Samsung and Sony Cameras.

*Pick-a-prize for every purchase of  Any point and shoot worth 10k and Up/ also for any SLR Purchase.

I just realized that we're lucky when it comes to getting what we want. In my day, we dealt with sellers we're unsure of, paid for unreasonable shipping prices, lost packages at the post office and we had to borrow credit cards from others!

Now, they are the things of the past! Sharing with you guys, some of the best online hubs I've tried for the past year that worked, hassle-free and made me so excited to shop online.

TheMall.ph

Operated by the girls and gents of Summit, all those fashionable things you see in magazines are now easily spotted at TheMall.ph! And they quickly bring to directly to the store or seller. They even have this app that allows you to mix and match items and include them on your wishlist.

What I like: They cater to local online shops which directs be immediately. It's a smorgasbord of items that allows me to choose by inspiration without having to through all the albums of the shops. TheMall.ph acts like a stylist/beauty consultant for girls who are clueless about the products.

What I don't: Some online shops don't answer immediately.

Facebook

Well, the tagging can get pretty annoying. But honestly, it helps sometimes. Been looking for a Casio watch, Marc Jacobs tote or just a new shade of lipstick? The shops come to you! Inquiring for value, shipping, etc. has never been easy. And most of the time, mode of payment is easy (bank transfer/deposit, gcash, paypal). And the mot beautiful thing about it is that you don't have to jump from one browser page to another another (except when browsing through albums).

What I like: It's pretty accessible since I'm on facebook 80% of the time. Everything is there and I get to share what I want to purchase to my friends and get some advise if I should go for it or not.

What I don't: Tagging and posting on my wall about products I'm not interested about.

Zalora.ph

It's amazing how Zalora has grown and the efforts they've put in to their fashionable e-commerce site have paid off. They have amazing items, has free delivery and easy steps in paying. I just love that whenevr I put in hours upon hours of choosing which item to buy, paying isn't difficult! They accept ALL kinds of payment! From Cash on delivery to credit card, they accept it. It just makes eeryeverything so easy.

Best of all, items arrives on time and secuyred in a chic Zalora box.

What I like: Convenience and easy-navigation of the site. I type what I like and it shows specfically what I asked for. Payment is super fast and shipping doesn't cost much or it's often FREE! Oh! You can browse by size and color which helps with eliminating wanting something that you can't have.

What I don't: Stocks are limited which can get frustrating. I wish they would just immediately pull it down. LOL.

Multiply.com

Ever since Multiply revamped their site and made it a legit e-commerce, shopping there has been a breeze. If the shop is a legit partner, you can just keep on clicking buy me and at the end, no matter how many different shops you buy from, paying them only takes one time and one click. Best of all, you can pay them via credit card. Something I know a lot of has been wishing for a year or two ago.

What I like: They have the widest range of products that allows me to window shop for hours. I am quite sentimental about multiply since I first created my online shop there. Also, you can get Charm, Digital Traincase, Stuff in Style and Makeupholics there!

What I don't: Shipping can accumulate and cost a lot especially when you shop from different online stores.

Sephora.com

I'm not kidding! Finally, we now have the option to buy from international websites. Thanks to Globe Gcash America Express Virtual Card.

What I like: ALL THE PRODUCTS!! They practically have every brand I love! And Samples! They are generous with samples. :)

What I don't: Nothing!! I love Sephora. Thanks to Globe Gcash American Express Virtual Card, I get to shop at the most popular beauty online store in the world!

it's amazing how convenient things are now. Can you imagine how difficult our lives wouldm be and how little  we can accomplish if not for the advancement in technologies? Although physical/actual window shopping is still a top for me.

My collection of Sunsilk products. No I'm not addict! 

It was surely a day to remember. Being treated to a makeover, exclusive styling for a headshot photoshoot is something I've dreamed of. Who doesn't like being treated like a celebrity, right?

I sure know how Sunsilk's #1 Fan girl Sarah G feels whenever she gets prepped up for one of her Sunsilk photoshoots. That's why over 50 girls like me gets to experience the same thing when Sunsilk Hair Expert page hit 1,000, 000 likes! The team of Sunsilk thought it a great  idea to do something special for the devoted loyal fans of Sunsilk for making them one of the most celebrated community on Facebook. Who wouldn't want to be anyway when they make the Hair Expert Page so inviting with hair care tips from the world reknowned hair experts like Thomas Taw, Yuko Yamashita, Dr. Franchesca Fusco and the cute Teddy Charles. And styling tips from style mavens, David Charlton of David Salon, Fashion Designer Mich Dulce and Makeup Artist Lei Hosseinzadeh.

Liker of the Hair Expert Page were also treated to regular contests and promos. Hello trip to Paris, Tokoyo, London and New York! Hello, iPads, iPods and other fantastic gadgets and freebies!

Amazing, right? No wonder that their 1 Million mark only increases as the day goes by... 1, 021,018 likers to be exact!

I was sure glad when they invited us, bloggers and likers of Hair Experts, to a day of makeover and photoshoot with the celebrity and sought ofter photographer Niccolo Cosme! What a treat, indeed! There's Nikki of Askmewhats, Sophie of Beautynomics, Liz of Projectvanity and of course, yours truly!

First stop, hair styling at David's Salon, Makati. I didn't take much photos here so I nabbed the one from Nikki! :) Thanks, sis! Along with 4 bloggers, there were the 50 winners of this Sunsilk Expert Best-Ever Bash Promo. Chicka time at the salon is always a great when bonding with friends. Glad to know that two of my closest friend in cyberworld are there.

Ever since I heard the news of Benefit Cosmetics finally parking it's cute little bum in Manila, I have been spending a lot of my days on their websites, deciding on what to get for myself once its open.

here's my short wish list. :)

Bathina "Take A Picture.."

I'm definitely going to get Bathina Body Balm to give the rest of my body the glow and love it needs! :)

Boi-ing


I'm heard good reviews about Boi-ing Concealer and how tough it is even for oily skin. I'll take me one of this in medium, thank you very much!

They're Real Mascara


They're Real Mascara promises to lengthen, volimize and curl. Let's see if it passes the test! :)

Hello Flawless!

A dual compact foundation that has a brush and a sponge to go with it. Personally, I just like the packaging. Hello Flawless! I'm Shen!

Erase Paste

Just gotta have me some Erase Paste for the bright eyes I've always wanted to achieve. Read good reviews and I'm hoping to be one adding to that. :) I think I'll switch from Lyin' Eyes to this one.


Stay Don't Stray Eye Primer


Stay Don't Stray is an eyelid and concealer primer that I'm sure will be sold out in seconds once it hits MNL. Save me one please!! Been dreaming of this ever since!


Some Kind-a Gorgeous 


I want me Some Kind-a Gorgeous, this cream to powder foundation promises a velvety smooth complexion.

Confessions of a Concealaholic Palette

Secrets are out... time for Confessions of a Concealaholic.

It's Potent! Eye Cream

It's Potent! Eye Cream got to me by the name alone. :) Say buh-bye to dark circles!
Buh-bye!


There you go, my short wish list. :) I can't wait for Benefit to finally open its store here in MNL! :)

How about you? Have you come up with your own list? Let's compare!

Did you ever imagine that games like Farmville and Bar Buddy became a real application? That somewhere out there you were really taking take of real harvests and watering real plants? This thought dawned on me when Typhoon Ondoy happened and we were all helpless. Nature did take its revenged on us city dwellers. But what can we do, right?

That's why I am so happy to inform that a huge company, Rexona, has taken steps in helping us internet-dwellers take care of nature the best way we know how... through Facebook!



This August, Rexona has launched the first-ever reality based Facebook Application that will allow you to take care of plants for REAL!!

I never had the green thumb but it seems that in Facebook games, I have quite the knack for taking care of anything that is green. I am happy that something like this has been created for those of us who are too busy to really take care of an actual plant.

Oh! And did I tell you we have a REAL LIVE Online Gardener to help us out?

Meet Ikey, our handsome gardener.



Now, don't go Eva Longoria on him. Kidding!

But Ikey is not just the only one who'll be helping us out, there is a team of people that will help out in taking care of the plant of your choice. They will do anything you click on the Rexona I Heart Nature game application. Just tell them what to do and they will take care of it.

Now, let's start helping out nature by clicking www.facebook.com/heartnature.

Let your skin breathe with the all made for nature Rexona Naturals.

much love,
Shen
