The five benefits of using the Cherry Dehumidifier Pro

Tweet

  

Summer is fast-approaching and that could only mean one thing—extra humidity. If that muggy indoor air bothers you, Cherry Home has a solution—the Cherry Dehumidifier Pro. Check its top five benefits below:

Large size. When talking about dehumidifiers, size actually pertains to moisture removal capacity. The Cherry Dehumidifier Pro can remove up to 12L of excess moisture per day, thanks to its 2L large water tank capacity. This is relatively larger in comparison with other similar products available in the market.

Wide area coverage. Not only does this boast of a powerful removal of excess moisture, it also significantly covers a 20sqm room. Now, you would have to worry less about maintaining your home as you have the power to regulate the growth of molds, mildew, and more caused by damp air.  

Energy-saving. Owning a dehumidifier may sound fancy but you shouldn’t let yourself be intimidated. Even if you use it all year round, jaw-dropping electric bills wouldn’t pose a problem as this is equipped with an energy-saving feature.

Low noise. With its huge build, you wouldn’t believe that it doesn’t produce the usual annoying buzzing sound. Therefore, you can keep it running even at night time without waking up the entire household.

Intelligent Dehumidifying technology. Since the Cherry Dehumidifier Pro can detect the humidity level of the room and independently decide to turn off once it reaches the ideal level, imagine not having to move a finger anymore.

Avoid allergies and other health problems as well as damaged walls and furniture by adding the Cherry Dehumidifier Pro to your home. Get it for P7,500 at:

Shopee seller couple proves how love, teamwork, and trust fuel their successful business and strengthen their relationship

Tweet

Having your life partner by your side through the good times and the bad is one of life’s greatest delights. While many believe that it’s not a good idea to start a business with your partner, the young couple behind the Shopee store BuyMore_Ph proves it can work. Rommel and Ajima’s inspirational love story and Shopee journey are testaments to how teamwork, trust, and communication can lead to success in their personal and professional lives.

Rommel and Ajima’s goal of funding their dream wedding and honeymoon turned out to be the start of a full-scale business that transformed their lives

Blossoming of the relationship and the beginning of their Shopee journey

Rommel and Ajima started selling on Shopee in 2017 as a newly-engaged couple looking for a side hustle to fund their wedding and honeymoon. In their early days on Shopee, they would sell trendy items such as lip tints and ready-to-wear clothes for men and women.

They admit that it was not easy at first but what helped their business succeed was to tap into the current trends. The couple explained, “sumasabay kami sa uso para maka-attract ng customers at nagiging open kami to more variety sa shop namin para mas marami talaga bumili.” [“We had to ride on the trends during that time to offer customers with a wide variety of items that they would be interested in.”]

The turning point of their business happened in 2018 as their shop continued to perform well and more Filipinos began to embrace e-commerce. Rommel, then an IT specialist, and Ajima, a licensed tax consultant, made the crucial decision to quit their jobs and become full-time Shopee sellers. It was daunting, but the couple remained optimistic. After all, now they have more time together as they run their business. “Parang cheesy siya pero sa totoo lang mas masarap talaga mag work kung may goals kayo hanggang pagtanda,” shared Ajima. [“It’s quite cheesy but honestly it really feels so good to work with your partner when you have shared goals until you grow old together.”]

Growing together as husband and wife and business partners in life

When asked what their secret was, the couple says it’s learning how to manage their emotions, in and out of work. Rommel shares “Natutunan namin ihiwalay ang emotions sa trabaho as much as possible [“we learned to compartmentalize our emotions when it comes to the business], and we’re still learning everyday how to improve that. Hindi namin hinahayaan na mangibabaw ang emotions” [“we don’t let emotions get the best of us”], to which Ajima agreed and said, “More than husband and wife, we’re partners in everything”

Their relationship wasn’t the only thing that grew due to their business. They also grew as individuals, becoming more empathetic and decisive in handling their employees was something new to the both of them. With their success, BuyMore_Ph has been able to grant invaluable opportunities to working students and individuals who lost their jobs due to the pandemic, and even some who were unable to finish their studies, especially during these more challenging times.

Rommel, who is more soft-spoken one among the couple, learned to go out of his comfort zone and lead his employees. “Hindi talaga ako masyado makausap sa tao, pero kailangan kong kausapin sila isa-isa para alamin kung ano ang problema.” [I’m not a very talkative and outspoken person but I had to learn how to talk to different kinds of people to resolve issues.]

The couple recognizes the huge role their employees have in the success they’ve achieved. “Super thankful din kami sa kanila kasi nakahanap kami ng tao na may concern din sa kung paano namin pinahalagahan yung business namin,” [“we’re very grateful to have found people who value our business the way we do”] Rommel said.

Inspiring other couples to be persevering and entrepreneurial

The seller couple advises other Shopee sellers to not give up and to trust the process. There may be times when certain strategies don’t always work, but Rommel and Ajima believe that sticking together and enjoying the journey will ultimately reap rewards. Ajima reminds couples who also dream of becoming entrepreneurs to play to each other’s strengths and complement each other’s weaknesses,“kung ano kulang ng isa, napupunan ng isa.” [“whatever one lacks, the other will make up for”]

Rommel and Ajima never expected their once small goal of earning extra income to become a life-changing opportunity for them, their family, and their employees. BuyMore_Ph is now one of the top-selling stores on Shopee with over 1.9M followers. In a few months, Rommel, Ajima, and their almost one-year-old baby (who was born during the 5.5 rush of 2021, no less) will move into their dream house. They continue to oversee more than 40 employees and the operations of their warehouse, as they venture into more ways to expand their business this 2022.

Clara Benin appears on billboard in New York City’s Times Square

Tweet

A month ahead of International Women’s Day, Filipino singer-songwriter Clara Benin lands on a Times Square, New York billboard as part of Spotify’s EQUAL Campaign.

The global movement, which serves as an initiative of the music streaming platform to amplify the work of outstanding women and gender-nonconforming musicians, turned its spotlight on Benin as this week’s cover artist of Spotify EQUAL Playlist in the Philippines, with two of her songs, “blink” and “Araw’t Gabi” occupying the top two slots.

“I feel really humbled to be featured on a Times Square billboard in New York and to have my songs be part of Spotify’s EQUAL playlist alongside these lovely and talented women,” the folk-pop phenom shares in a statement. “I really hope our music reaches and inspires more people from all over the world.”

Having amassed more than 30 million streams on Spotify alone, Clara Benin is the first Filipino signed under Sony Music’s OFFMUTE— a Southeast Asian record label that’s entirely dedicated to giving artists a voice, an audience, and an opportunity for cross-collaboration within the region.

Benin recently released a new single called “blink,” which was produced by acclaimed electronic/indie artist The Ringmaster, and features prolific multi-instrumentalist Gabba Santiago on drums. Honoring memories like a fundamental aspect of human nature, the song finds refuge in reliving Benin’s past without any hint of regret.

She is also currently working on several new songs to be released soon. “I’ve been writing a lot the past two years and very excited to work on them this year for an upcoming album.”

Check out Clara Benin’s “blink” on all digital music platforms via OFFMUTE.

About Clara Benin

Clara Benin is touted as the indie darling of the Philippines. She is one of the first artists under Sony’s new regional label OFFMUTE. Her signature angelic voice and melodic acoustic guitar playing bring a kind of serenity that her listeners gravitate towards. She has collaborated with Singaporean artists Charlie Lim for a remake of her hit single “Wine” and Gentle Bones for the pop track “A Day At A Time”.

Widely loved for her warm and quiet demeanor, the acoustic-folk artist has played in notable festivals like Wanderland Arts and Music Festival in the Philippines, Music Matters in Singapore, and Zandari Festa in Korea. She sold out her first solo concert in 2016 for her album “Coming Home” and had a back-to-back concert with fellow artist Ben&Ben in 2018.

The Cherry Flask is also reliably leak-proof. If your mornings are always hectic and casually throwing stuff inside your bag is an everyday ritual, this feature swears to keep your life more hassle-free.

Not only is Cherry Flask efficient in keeping your drinks at the right temperature but it also has to be the most useful fashion statement you can flaunt all day. It is available in various colors including: Bubble Gum Pink, Breeze Blue, Phantom Gray, Pop Violet, Varsity Blue, and Obsidian Black for the 32oz bottle. Meanwhile, you can choose from: Phantom Gray, Pop Violet, Royal Blue, Valentine Pink, and Obsidian Black for the 40oz variant.

Unpacking the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra: 4 ‘Firsts’ that Break the Rules

Tweet

 

The launch of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra at Unpacked 2022 marks many new milestones for the beloved Galaxy series. Marrying the productivity prowess of the Note series and the pro-grade camera and performance of the S series, the Galaxy S22 Ultra sets a new standard for what a smartphone can be: The most powerful Ultra device that Samsung has ever created, to offer the ultimate smartphone experience today. 

Read on to find out more about four cutting-edge features of the Galaxy S22 Ultra that break the rules of mobile innovation. 

1. Create to Your Heart’s Content – First built-in S Pen in the S Series

A handy stylus on your smartphone unlocks endless possibilities for creative and productive scenarios

beyond doodling and writing.

Traditionally a feature included with the Note, Note users’ favorite S Pen now comes built-in with the Galaxy S22 Ultra, enabling fresh new ways to level up your creativity and get things done. The much-improved S Pen experience means that you write and draw on the Galaxy S22 Ultra’s bright and expansive screen, making it the perfect tool to capture eureka moments through words or sketches while enjoying a more realistic pen-to-paper feel.

The S Pen also gives you instant access to signature S Pen tools such as Samsung Notes and Live Message, and the handwriting to text function has been upgraded to support 87 languages, so note-taking is more convenient than ever, especially when you’re on-the-go.

And that’s not all. The S Pen can also act as a nifty remote control to run your presentation from afar or be used to take a snapshot with the phone camera. Use it to annotate PDFs without downloading an additional app, and even zoom in to magnify anything on your screen by up to 300 percent. 

2. Super-charged Heart & Brain – First 4nm Processor on a Galaxy 

In a smartphone, the smaller its processor, the better the device. 

As the first Galaxy device to be running on Samsung’s groundbreaking 4nm Processor, the Galaxy S22 Ultra makes multitasking on your phone even easier. The new processor enables Samsung’s most advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) processing to run smoothly, delivering unrivaled performance for all your streaming, gaming and productivity needs. 

As you create new content, the advanced AI features work in the background to improve the clarity and quality of photos and videos by helping subjects stand out better from the background, while simultaneously detecting and concentrating on multiple objects within the same scene for better focus and improved image steadiness.

3. A Battery that Goes On & On – First Galaxy battery that Lasts All-Day

With all the powerful features built into the Galaxy S22 Ultra, rest assured that the device is well-equipped to endure long hours of use. Samsung has combined its power-efficient 4nm Processor with a large 5,000mAh battery to ensure that Galaxy S22 Ultra can last all day on a single full charge. What’s more, the device even supports 45W super-fast charging, which lets you record more than 50 minutes of video – after a 10-minute charge – so you can keep calm and carry on with minimal disruption to your work or play.

4. Pro-grade Camera in Your Pocket

Whether you’re a casual user or a seasoned content creator, the Galaxy S22 Ultra enables users to capture stunning photos and videos all day and all night. With the free Expert RAW app, you also have access to DLSR-like controls to capture incredible moments. To make the Galaxy S22 Ultra even more amazing, its camera can capture more than 68 billion colors for more vibrant and true-to-life videos. 

Tune in to the Samsung Facebook page at 6:00 PM on February 18 for Nights Made Epic and join the country’s top creators, including Mobile Filmmaking Philippines, wedding videographer Jason Magbanua, influencer and content creator Richard Juan, and illustrator Risa Rodil, as they showcase their epic content using the Galaxy S22 Series and Galaxy Tab S8 Series.

Pre-order now and be the first to experience the epic standard

Pre-order the Galaxy S22 Ultra through Samsung.com and enjoy a PHP 10,000 e-voucher which can be used to purchase select mobile products in the Samsung Online Store, a Silicone Case with Strap worth PHP 1,999, and a Lucky Box Strap worth PHP 1,299.

This is not possible without the help from the community it has grown, and such growth is built on abundance, making it a two-way street of give and take.

Ron Kevin, 28 years old, also known as Reachie, is an AGV scholar, and is part of AGV’s administration team. He is a professional by all means, working in the BPO industry as a customer service representative. AGV was able to offer him opportunities for alternative ways to earn, and one of the ways he uses his free time is to earn from playing.

 

Starting in AGV

When asked about how he started being a part of AGV, Reachie mentions that he was part of a different guild, where he hosts Q and As. He says that a friend introduced him to AGV.

“Yung iba kong friends from other guilds, nasa AGV na rin. Nung lumipat ako, I saw a lot of opportunities where I can apply yung mga natutunan ko from other guilds.” Reachie shared.

Reachie even went on to share how he started becoming a scholar in the guild.

“Nag-apply ako as scholar sa AGV. May pinagawa silang task tapos nung ntatapos ko yung task, in one week, binigyan na ako ng scholarship.” he added.

Being Part of AGV

Reachie also shared how being part of the gaming guild, AGV, improved his overall prosperity.

“During the time I was working, enough yung salary ko to cover my daily needs—my salary goes to my bills and savings. When I joined AGV, nagkaroon na ako ng extra para sa mga unexpected bills or paminsan, extra money for the things I want to buy kahit hindi naman need.” he said.

Reachie spends an average of 6 hours a day, at different times of the day, playing 3 different Play-to-Earn games such as Axie Infinity and Plants vs Undead.

“The reason you are playing is to use your free time to do something productive—in this case, I earn while I play during my free time.I can do this full time if I invest my time playing Axie Infinity as well as other games.” Reachie shared.

Reachie even tells a story wherein his parents would scold him, saying “Ano bang napapala mo sa kakalaro ng computer?” Now, he helps members of his family apply for gaming scholarships to be able to play and earn.

Going Beyond AGV

Prior to the pandemic, Reachie worked at a local restaurant as a manager for 2 years, and even did the same job abroad for another 2 years. When asked about what he will do with what he saves up from his earnings, he answers “I’m planning to invest [on cryptocurrency] tokens and then from that, I plan to have my own restaurant serving Filipino dishes. Sakin kasi, food is life.”

More importantly for Reachie, his ultimate goal is financial stability. “I’m fine with what I have right now but if there’s other opportunities, I won’t hesitate to grab it.” he said.

AGV is still growing, and Reachie is just one of the lives it has impacted. The future is bright as AGV expands to the possibilities in the realm of the Play-to-Earn space. To keep track on updates, you may join their Discord server at -insert invite link-.
