Nokia Ultimate Sale Part 2

Tweet

Due to overwhelming public demand, Techbox Philippines will hold a second ‘Ultimate Nokia Sale’ on April 16-18 at 2299 Pasong Tamo Extension, Makati city.

About a month ago, Techbox Philippines offered a Nokia Sale where up to 80% discounts were offered to the public. Smartphones ranging from entry level to the sophisticated Lumias and Android handsets from Nokia were made available at an incredible low price, much to the public’s delight. Over 3000 Nokia handsets were sold on the last Nokia Sale, with thousands of people lining up to get their hands on the offerings.

“We thought it was the last hurrah – the final chance for Nokia enthusiasts to get smartphones with the Nokia brand on them, before Microsoft floods the market with their own handsets” said Angela Gutierrez, Business Unit Head for Techbox Philippines. “But after the sale, we were totally blown away by the compelling number of people who said they wished they didn’t miss their chance to get their Nokia phones. There were also a lot who knew of others who also wanted Nokias but for some reason weren’t able to come to our sale on those dates. The requests were just overwhelming,” added Angela.

Choosing to act on the demands of the public, Techbox Philippines found a way to give customers what they want. The second part of the clearance sale offers discounts up to 80%, amazing bundles, and a ‘Buy 1, Take 1’ promo on select handsets.

Techbox Philippines is the fastest growing gadget retail chain in the country. They offer trusted handset brands and cellphone accessories at an affordable price.

Express your perfectly imperfect self through Bensimon sneakers

Tweet

“A blank canvas has unlimited possibilities.” - -from a famous author.

Lucky for you, that’s what you’ll get when you join this year’s Bensimon DIY workshop – a blank canvas. What do you do with a blank canvas? Anything. Paint it, stamp it, bleach, or even embroider – you can do absolutely anything creatively possible with a pair of Bensimon canvas sneakers. 

Bensimon is a Parisian heritage brand that was launched in the Philippines in 2013. Made of all-natural cotton-canvas and rubber, jetsetters around the world always bring a pair of Bensimon wherever they go.

What makes Bensimon the perfect footwear choice is actually the fact that they are imperfect – giving them the vintage look, which is very much like the French lifestyle, anchored not on perfection but on simplicity and elegance. 

Bensimon is all about individuality and uniqueness. Produced in EU and dyed in France, no two pairs of Bensimon are ever alike – which was what made last year’s intimate Bensimon DIY a big hit. It totally captured the brand’s identity of being perfectly imperfect, just like every individual.

This year, creative junkies from the media opened the Bensimon DIY series held at CommonThread Power Plant Mall last March 26. With the artistic support of Craft MNL, they got their hands dirty, literally, while trying to make masterpieces out of canvas sneakers! The result, of course, was stupendous. Nothing can be more beautiful than your own work of art.

But it gets better. What was previously opened only to the media will now be available for all you sneakerheads whose outlet of expression is your footwear. Unleash your creativity and customize your very own one-of-a-kind sneakers by joining the Bensimon DIY Series: Dream-it-yourself, do-it-yourself!

For every purchase of Bensimon sneakers from March 24 to April 25, you will be entitled to a free DIY workshop session. Make sure to get your pair from any of the following participating stores – CommonThread (Greenbelt and Power Plant), Rustan's (Gateway, Makati, Alabang Town Center and Shangrila), SM Aura and SM Makati – to get a workshop invite. You can choose your canvas from a wide array of colors that will definitely pop this summer. 

Leading this fun activity will be Craft MNL and Googly Gooeys so get those creative juices flowing already! 

Be ready to experience making fabric textures, marbling, embroidery, painting and stamping. 

Get your Bensimon sneakers now and join us at the Bensimon DIY workshop simultaneously happening at Common Thread Greenbelt and Power Plant Mall on April 25th! See you there!

World-renowned mixologist wows Manila at Cocktail Festival with Matthias Giroud

Tweet

Experience a Buddha-Bar Manila evening like no other when Matthias Giroud, Chief Bar Manager of Buddha-Bar Worldwide flies in for a one-night only cocktails feast called Cocktail Festival with Matthias Giroud on April 17, 2015.

The metro’s most sophisticated restaurant-bar-lounge promises the ultimate cocktails night with the visiting mixologist concocting an array of great cocktails and demonstrating the techniques he has acquired and honed through the years. 

Guests get to taste Matthias’ special cocktails and new mixes for Php1,000. Discounts will be given to students and teachers who wish to watch a master mixologist at work, creating magical concoctions that inspire awe. 

Constantly experimenting to up the ante in the art of mixing drinks, Matthias Giroud never fails to leave audiences amazed with his unparalleled cocktail creations. By nature, mixologists resemble artists, skilled not only in creating blends of flavors that complement each other perfectly but masters of performance and presentation as well. 

Hailing from the French Antilles, four distinct islands that offer white-sand beaches, Gallic glamour, and gastronomy, Matthias grew up travelling the world with his parents. In essence, he was reared to become an explorer and adventurer. 

At 18, the young Matthias landed his first bar job at the legendary “Bar Fly Paris” and it also marked his long-standing stint under George V Entertainment. Armed with a prodigious gift, a winning personality and work ethics, Matthias rose to become the chief bar manager for all the venues run by the group including the emblematic “Buddha Bar,” “Barrio Latino” and “Barlotti” in no time at all. 

Soon he was conquering the world, designing, conceptualizing, training and putting in place the bar operation for all subsequent openings of the George V Entertainment group around the world. His remarkable journey has seen him traverse the continent, from Monaco to new York and from Mexico to Sao Paolo, through the Middle East right to the yet-to-be-discovered corners of exotic Asia.

It is but fitting that Manila is the next stop. Buddha-Bar Manila guests are bound to marvel at this French wizard of Buddha Bar’s signature mixed drinks. 

Buddha-Bar Manila is located at Picar Place, Kalayaan Avenue, Makati City.
