SMART Money
Okay, this post doesn't involve any endorsement or promotions, just my personal experience. 😏
So, first things first, we have to choose between SMART Money and GCash which and where will be getting our cards. So, we chose SMART Money because they said it's hassle free and easy. Good thing is that SMART Money's issuing bank is BDO, which is also my debit card's. Although at first, I had worries on how and when will I get my card. The Rep told us that we can get the card within 2-3 days. And after that time they gave, we really got our cards. But before that, we made sure that we can get our cards ASAP. So we chose randomized cards rather than the personalized ones. Personalized cards may take weeks before you can get them.
LAZADA
So I was a little bit excited because the only way I can purchase the product I desired is through LAZADA. So, last Mar. 6, 2015, I ordered it immediately after depositing the approximate amount to my SMART Money account. This is prior to the task we were given for our midterms replacing the written exam.
So, I waited 4-6 days. I noticed that the product is shipping and still neutral, no updates or anything. So on the 5th day, I tried to follow up on LAZADA how come I haven't received any updates regarding my ordered product. They immediately replied to my e-mail, exchanged replies, and they called after that day. So, it wasn't really fully shipped all this time. So I had the assumption that you need to ask for a complaint before they'll confirm the purchase. However, on Mar. 12, 2015, I received the updates that the product is fully shipped through LEX, LAZADA's own courier. I checked my e-mail and Lazada account and it really was updated process by process. So, on Mar. 13, 2015, I was really surprised that my product is yet to be delivered. And voila! Around afternoon, I received my order and don't have to worry about anything else.
Business Process Outsourcing
BPO is growing here in the Philippines. As we say, "CSR (Customer Service Representative)", everyone already know what are the functions and roles of it. Philippines is not the only country which holds the throne with the largest BPO. Some countries like India, Malaysia and many more are trying their best to make it grow like Philippines'.
The reporters explained the different parts of BPO and how it differs on KPO. Although BPO is growing and is known to be more successful, BPO is more demanding somehow.

CAS Week '15
CAS Week 2015 seemed to be amazing to me, even though I was too busy to attend all of the events and programs, I managed to witness what they had prepared. Thanks to my classes who excused the discussion for the sake of the activities. One of these is the Film Showing: Big Hero 6. I was rooting on this movie since I've downloaded it last week and haven't watched it since I have a very hectic schedule. And a big surprise that Big Hero 6 will be the featured movie for that activity, but I don't have any choice because I'm trapped! I know it's a big spoiler for me but I enjoyed it anyway.
And the other activity I've attended is the recent activity, Mr. and Ms. CAS 2015. Luckily, our representative made it to the Top 4, and the 1st Runner Up, Ms. Iris Jane Manloloyo. And our new hailing CAS Queen is Ms. Dwynne Divera.
It was a very big celebration for Carolinians from CAS.
Online Advertising and E-commerce
Maybe you've been annoyed with the ads you're seeing everywhere. They pop-up, they create new windows from your browser and even install applications that you may or may not notice. But there are differences between virus and good ads. Good ads respect your privacy and virus invades your security. You may think ads are just annoying and useless posts in the internet. In reality, companies are just making money, just like you.
Just reminding you that all of the products you bought came from the ads from TV Commercials and of course, the Internet. "Electronic commerce, commonly known as E-commerce or eCommerce,
is trading in products or services using computer networks, such as the
Internet. Electronic commerce draws on technologies such as mobile commerce, electronic funds transfer, supply chain management, Internet marketing, online transaction processing, electronic data interchange (EDI), inventory management systems, and automated data collection systems. Modern electronic commerce typically uses the World Wide Web for at least one part of the transaction's life cycle, although it may also use other technologies such as e-mail.
E-commerce businesses may employ some or all of the following:
- Online shopping web sites for retail sales direct to consumers
- Providing or participating in online marketplaces, which process third-party business-to-consumer or consumer-to-consumer sales
- Business-to-business buying and selling
- Gathering and using demographic data through web contacts and social media
- Business-to-business electronic data interchange
- Marketing to prospective and established customers by e-mail or fax (for example, with newsletters)
- Engaging in pretail for launching new products and services" - Wikipedia
IDEUM Platform 46
Remember when you drink that hot coffee, put it in a table and browse the iPad for some new notifications? Well, I know that we know that you wished that somehow you could just put your coffee on a table and you just touch the table for some new notifications. The solution is here: Ideum Platform 46. Say goodbye to android tablets and hello to this super duper gigantic coffee table that brings the TV-like 46-inches touchscreen that leaves you full vision experience.
"Certainly able to provide more entertainment than any coffee table
book, the Platform 46 coffee table sports 60 touch points, and is free
of the constraints of a bezel. Underneath the hood lies a Core i7 3770s
processor, clocking in at 3.1GHz, an obvious 8GB of RAM, and a 500GB
hard drive. The table also features Intel’s WiDi technology, which
allows you to wirelessly beam the table’s contents to an HDMI-compatible
display, though you will need a WiDi receiver.
The coffee table also has Ethernet and Bluetooth capability, as well
as wireless N WiFi. It has a host of ports, including USB, HDMI, DVI,
VGA, and DP. The table also comes with a Blu-ray player, and runs Windows 8
Professional 64-bit. If you aren’t too hot on the table’s starting
specs, you can upgrade to 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD, as well as add a
GPU. If you aren’t too hot on those, you can purchase the system without the computer inside, and build your own instead." - Geek
