Remember my Sony x BMS contest? Well, part of mechanics said that you have to buy Preview Magazine's September issue with yours truly on the cover (together with my Camille and Tricia) and write a message for me. I didn't expect all these messages to be extremely touching up to a point that I almost cried. No exaggeration! When I started blogging, I never knew I could actually inspire so many people- and you guys telling me this is extremely overwhelming. To all my readers, you guys are the best. If I can only meet each and everyone of you, I'd do it so I can thank you guys personally! Here are some of my favorite messages (it's too touching not to share to all of you):

Some are actually too small to read, my apologies. If you want to check out the other messages people posted online, click HERE. I haven't chosen the Sony winners yet, but will definitely do it this week! Thank you everyone for the effort. BMS.

New Gadgets To Share

I'm always on the look out for new gadgets- for some reason, they really excite me. Having found Sony Xperia Acro and Sony RX100, my life really became easier- and that's why I'm on the prowl for more Sony inventions. Then I found these:

Introducing the new Sony VAIO™ Duo 11- they redefined the portable PC experience. It's a high-performance, hybrid Ultrabook™ with a sliding LCD display that switches effortlessly between slate and keyboard mode. It's perfect for busy people who do not want to sacrifice style nor performance. Within its sleek frame, the new VAIO™ Duo 11 allows high-precision writing with a digitizer stylus- no need to grab a pen and paper to jot down your notes because you can do it now with your laptop! Minimal latency means a more natural writing experience, and the screen intelligently ignores palm presses while writing, preventing distracting scribbles. It allows you to consume and create exciting/ entertaining digital content wherever life takes you. Now this is my favorite part: the 'music' application lets you enjoy the superb quality and the 'album' application makes viewing and sharing photos exciting and easy. Both applications lets you stream personal photos, videos and music on a compatible large screen TV and audio systems. Everything becomes more convenient!

Computers have become a necessity to every home. With the popularity of the tablet computer, more and more Filipino families want to abandon the conventional desktop PC for tablets. However, with the many limitations of a tablet computer, families who love to share activities at home are faced with the dilemma of choosing between a tablet and a conventional desktop PC. Voila!! Here's the answer to all your prayers: The Sony VAIO™ Tap 20. This gadget can be adjusted into any angle depending on usage with its flexible stand that offers seamless movement from multiple viewing angles. Laying the VAIO™ flat lets users read digital magazines or have fun with anyone with its multi-touch panel for board games, sketching pictures and more, while sitting the VAIO™ Tap 20 at an angle allows users to take full advantage of the new Windows 8 touch-optimized user interface. When in desktop style, the VAIO™ Tap 20 becomes a fully capable desktop PC that can be used with the bundled PC and mouse. Everyone – dad, mom, lola, lolo, ate and kuya– will enjoy managing their schedules and messaging boards with a few swipes of the finger. Be it in the living room, the bedroom or the study, you can enjoy using the VAIO™ Tap 20 wherever you want at home. Its flexibility allows you to bring the fun where the rest of the family is. This is definitely included on my Christmas wish list. BMS.

Sony x BMS Giveaway (CLOSED)

I guess you can say this is the biggest blog giveaway yet- so be excited! But before I talk about the prizes and mechanics, I'd just like to share something  to you guys. I went to Guam last week (I'll be posting the photos soon) and didn't bother bringing an SLR with me. For the longest time, I've been looking for a digital camera that has the quality of an SLR and finally, I found one! Introducing Sony RX100- probably the most convenient camera you'll ever find. And get this, this camera was just launched in the Philippines just a few weeks ago, so be the one of the firsts to own one- I can't wait to show you my travel photos! Anyway, I'LL BE GIVING THIS CAMERA TO ONE LUCKY WINNER.

Aside from the Sony RX100, I also brought with me my Sony Xperia Acro phone in Guam. If you've seen my post about it HERE, you'd already know it's a scratch- dust- water resistant phone. I swear, it's probably one of the most amazing inventions created. Sometimes (for fun), I intentionally let the water of my glass fall on my phone and make it seem like it's an accident just to see their reactions haha. I went snorkeling in Guam and brought the phone with me underwater so you can see how much I enjoyed. I really can't wait to show you the videos!! I'll post it next week. So yes, I'LL BE GIVING AWAY THIS PHONE TOO. O diba?! Two of my favorite gadgets up for grabs! The mechanics are just a little bit more than the usual, but it's be worth it! There's also one requirement too, you have to have a copy of Preview Magazine- yes, this is a shameless plug hahaha.

In short, I'll be giving away ONE Sony RX100 and ONE Sony Xperia Acro. How to join:

Don't forget to take screenshots that you followed the rules for proof if ever you win. Contest period is from September 22-October 5.. That's two weeks for you to prepare everything (as if you need it because the mechanics are very easy naman)! I'll be choosing the winners on how witty they are with their answers and will be announcing the winners via my Facebook fanpage and Twitter account. Good luck everyone. BMS.

Sony Xperia

You HAVE to see the commercial of Sony's latest cellphone: Sony Xperia "Go", the water - scratch - dust resistant camera. That's just the introduction of this wonderful cellphone. If you watch the video above, you'll feel my sentiments. 

I'm actually proud to say I'm one of the ambassadors for the Sony Xperia Go together with film director Paul Soriano and dancer Gab Valenciano. The tagline "Dare To Get Wet" isn't only about the phone being water proof, but it's also saying dare to experience things you've never actually done before- to try something new.  Since I like to travel and attend events a lot, I don't have to worry about leaving my phone on the table just in case someone spills a drink or take photos in the rain using my camera (kailangan natin to ngayon dahil lageng umuulan sa Philipines).

Also, it's so hard to find water proof cases for my camera whenever I go to the beach so now, I don't even have to find one because my cellphone is water resistant! It has a wet finger  tracking screen so you can still text and use it under water. Mas bida pa yung cellphone ko kesa sa akin haha. All in one na! So clever right? 

Check out our behind-the-scenes video. I look so happy and jolly! It was my first time doing a wet shoot too. See.. Dare to get wet! To know more about Sony Xperia Acro and Go, go to their Facebook fanpage. BMS.
