Cars for rent Philippines

June 16, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Philippines – I’m renting out my car, a black Mazda 3, with driver for P4,000/day or P25,000 per week (7 days). The car is heavily tinted and the air-condition is ice-cold so you won’t feel the heat of the weather. It is almost new, I’ve bought it in December 2008. Here are some pics of the Mazda 3.

The car has temperature control, 6-disc CD changer and is iPod/iPhone ready.

Smart Bro-ken

June 9, 2009 · Leave a Comment

I live in Marikina and subscribed to a Smart Broadband internet. I’ve been a subscriber for more than a year and never failed to pay on time.  One day, the service just stopped working and when tech support visited us, they said that we are no longer getting signal and we need to upgrade for the next plan (more expensive). We declined the offer, and they took down the antenna and the modem.

After a month, we went to smart wireless to completely disconnect the service. In their system, they have a report that the support team took down all hardware but still, they charged us for that month and the month after and would never want to disconnect our service until we pay the 2 months that we technically didn’t use because of their fault. Furthermore, they will bill us continously until this is settled.

I hope that whoever reads this will think twice before getting a Smart Bro service.

Cirtex Hosting Sucks

December 14, 2008 · 4 Comments

I’ve been using Cirtex Hosting for their support for FFMPEG for almost a year now. Within a year, my website has been down several times/day (and that happens everyday!). Luckily, we only use it for testing and as a development server.

Can anyone recommend a better FFMPEG hosting?

Digital marketing revolution is happening now

August 14, 2008 · Leave a Comment

In 2004, we re-branded our company to look young and dynamic and used the tag line Experience Digital Marketing. During that time, I wanted to promote the company as a developer of digital consumer experience for companies. This “experience” concept was based from the book The Experience Economy. In those days, the digital experience revolves around great web design and flash animation on the web or interactive CDs that provide video and animated product demonstrations.

These past 2 days, I was at IMMAP’s 2nd Internet and Mobile Marketing Summit. I was happy to see some old acquaintances back in iAyala/Philwap days. One of them is Nix Nolledo, the owner of Xurpas, PinoyExchange, and many other companies related to internet and mobile marketing. During his presentation, he gave an inspiring background about his company and how they expanded worldwide. He presented interesting mobile campaigns in the African region as well as an interesting application called SMS 2.0 from India.

Applications and campaigns presented in the summit just show that we shouldn’t stop innovating. Innovation is the heart of every business. Stop innovating and your business will surely fall.

Innovation is the specific instrument of entrepreneurship… the act that endows resources with a new capacity to create wealth. – Peter Drucker

Media Temple’s stuipidity

June 3, 2008 · Leave a Comment

This is a shout out to Media Temple to hire more qualified techical support. Please see my exchange of messages with their tech support a while back:

Request details ID#: 391554
Subject: change of domain name
Status: In Progress
Opened By: Wendy Ang
Date opened: 2008/06/03 02:19

Response history
Your response: 2008/06/03 02:19
Currently, we have splendidotaaltowers.com under our account. can you have this changed to tagaytaytaaltowers.com instead? its supposed to use the same website, we just need to change the domain.

thanks.

Support response: 2008/06/03 02:21
The request to change your primary domain has been completed. Please make note of the following points:

- The new primary domain must be registered correctly, and its nameservers must be listed in order as ns1.mediatemple.net and ns2.mediatemple.net. If you’ve asked (mt) Media Temple to register your new primary domain as a previously unregistered domain then this is already taken care of. If the step of modifying your nameservers is unclear to you please consult the following Knowledge Base article: ……. blah blah blah..

THIS IS NOT A REQUEST TO CHANGE OUR PRIMARY DOMAIN. PLEASE CHANGE OUR PRIMARY DOMAIN BACK TO OPTIMINDSOLUTIONS.COM ASAP!!!!!!

The instruction was simple. Under our main account, we are hosting a website with a domain: splendidotaaltowers.com We just want this domain changed to tagaytaytaaltowers.com!!!!

Your Support Request was unclear. You cannot “change” a domain name. You can only delete, or add.

I have changed your primary domain back to splendidotaaltowers.com. I have added a DNS zone file for tagaytaytaaltowers.com, no other changes have been made. I simply added a DNS zone file, which you could do in the Account Center for future reference.

IN MY PREVIOUS MESSAGE, I STATED TO CHANGE OUR PRIMARY DOMAIN BACK TO OPTIMINDSOLUTIONS.COM not SPLENDIDOTAALTOWERS.COM.

PLEASE CHANGE IT BACK TO OPTIMINDSOLUTIONS.COM

More Care, Less Hate – Helen Campbell

May 28, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Earlier this morning, I got hooked up with the movie The Reading Room. The movie is based on a true story and revolved around a rich guy who opened up a library to share his books to the less-fortunate public. Its such a touching movie that will inspire you to do something for others.

I remembered reading about Helping others achieve their goal , I just can’t remember from what book I’ve read this from. Maybe from John Maxwell. Anyhow, it just says that to be successful, you have to help others to be successful first. This is one of my goals for my company this year. As I’ve always told my employees, our clients’ success is our success and their success is my success.

Starting my personal MBA course.

August 18, 2007 · 2 Comments

You don’t need to spend that much to get an MBA. You can opt for a list of books recommended by Personal MBA. These books will give you the same amount of information that you’ll get to learn from a formal MBA class at maybe less than 1% of the cost hehe.

I just bought one of the books from the Quick Start section, Strengths Finder 2.0 from Powerbooks. And bought the remaining books from the Quick Start and All books under Management section on Amazon.

I just bought a new Macbook to replace my 1-year old iBook G4. Mac softwares are hard to find and expensive! Good thing is there’s Torrent, hehe..

Installing:

  • Apperture
  • Adobe CS 2
  • Microsoft Office 2004
  • Visual Hub
  • Cross Over
  • Macromedia Dreamweaver and Flash
  • Firefox and Thunderbird
  • Quicken
  • Stuffit

No games for now. You play that much on a Mac and I can’t play that much either given my super busy schedule. It’s Sunday, and I’m working. Whew!img_4341.jpg
