Nassau Bahamas: Discovering Atlantis - A Paradise Island in the Bahamas

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Atlantis Paradise Island is a vast and lively resort that has become one of the Caribbean's prime destinations. It is home to more than 50,000 aquatic creatures and contains a series of inland waterways and six open-air lagoons. It also boasts the largest casino in the Caribbean. With a varied range of activities, shopping and dining, this Bahamian resort is popular with families, couples, honeymooners, conference-goers and singles.

The resort which opened in 1998 was created by South African hotel magnate Sol Kerzner and Kerzner International Limited. Paradise Island first opened its Coral and Beach Towers as the Trump Plaza, then changed its name to Atlantis when the Royal Towers were built. The Coral and Beach Towers were later refurbished to match the theme of the Royal Towers. On 28 March 2007 a 600-suite luxury hotel named The Cove Atlantis opened on Paradise Island. Another tower, the 497-room Reef Atlantis, opened 19 December 2007.

A friend of mine treated me for some Tea-rrific milk tea while I was in the Makati area. He dragged all the way from Glorietta towards the basement Food Court of SM Department store and introduced me to this brand of milk tea.

We all know that milk tea has sprung like mushrooms everywhere. Many entrepreneurs ventured into the milk tea business and its presence proliferated almost everywhere. I've encountered a lot of brands lately and this one caught my attention the moment I tasted it.

Yes it was a treat from a friend but I'll be glad to pay for it if ever I pass by the area again. That's how splendid and refreshing it was. You really have to try it!

When I've learned about my next adventure to go hiking towards the summit of Mt. Pulag, I really thought I needed to prepare well for this.

So I packed my bags with necessities, and included Thorlos foot socks specifically designed for hiking.

I was going to where I'm way above the clouds - on top of the highest mountain in Luzon and third highest mountain in the Philippines next to the two other mountains located in Mindanao.

Ben Francia finally revealed once more his secrets to getting customers and clients online at his second run of his seminar entitled " The Secret to Getting Customers and Clients Online"

Held at one of the luxurious building in Ortigas Center Pasig city, the seminar provided the attendees with the knowledge on how to effectively start their online marketing business.

One secret shared is that "Google loves blogs" which was why he encouraged everyone in the room to create their own blogs to add exposure to their products, services or establishments. If they have an existing website already, they can just incorporate another page dedicated for blogs. It should be well maintained and updated regularly by a staff or by a social media manager that will focus on creating their digital branding.

Another secret is to buy a domain. A dot com is said to be more professional and attractive for both potential customers or advertisers that may be interested in forming a business relationship with you. Free blogs are fine, but those with the dot com domain will stand out.

Sweet Mamita's Cupcakes is just a home business started by a mother who is very fond of creating delectable masterpieces. She's obviously very creative and is patient with the many intricate designs she comes up with her cupcakes. Along with one of her loving daughter who helps her out both in the kitchen and in marketing the cupcakes online, they are a pair and a formidable team to watch out for.

The person behind Sweet Mamita is also already a grandmother to quite a number of grandchildren from her older kids, and some of her kids also share the same passion and interest in running a food business, like one of her daughters who is also into the food business running Aryan's Restaurant and Bar located in Paranaque's East Service Road.

I believe their business has a huge potential to grow big if their marketing is inventive enough, the quality of their creations are maintained, and their creativeness with their designs and recipes are sustained.

Tattoo@Home Broadband Offers the Power of FREE

TATTOO@Home again introduces another first in the broadband industry by offering subscribers FREE unlimited landline to mobile calls to Globe and TM. This is on top of the FREE monthly service fee and FREE Globe NDD already offered before, making it now the best value-for-money broadband bundle.

“Tattoo@Home has always espoused that an internet connection is an enabler for greatness, especially for the whole family. This is why we need to make broadband as accessible as possible to everyone. Why ask people to pay double for two services --- landline and home internet --- that run on the same line? ” says Jurist Gamban, Head of Tattoo@Home Broadband.

Gamban further explains that the landline is the lifeline of any household and it serves as a reliable link between working parents and their children. It connects them to the househelp and the nannies who look after their kids. However, the cost of calling a mobile phone from a landline has prevented this lifeline to be used as often as necessary.

Tattoo@Home’s FREE calls from landline to mobile (Globe line to Globe/ TM mobile numbers) and FREE NDD calls (Globe to Globe) provides a sense of security knowing that at any time of the day, calls may be made from the Globe landline to a Globe/ TM mobile number at no cost.

“With the latest Tattoo@Home offer, you could talk to your loved ones who are on Globe Postpaid, Globe Prepaid and TM subscribers all you want from your landline.

And all this for the same price as a Tattoo@Home bundled broadband plan that would fit a subscriber’s budget and need for speed.

For instance, Plan 1299 runs at up to 2 Mbps, twice the speed of other broadband service providers for the same monthly service fee.

For subscribers who want the adrenaline rush, the Tattoo@Home Plan 2,999 answers that need for speed and runs at up to 5 Mbps.

For existing Tattoo@Home Broadband subscribers, get six months FREE unlicalls from you landline to any Globe/ TM number by re-contracting for another six months or by paying an additional P99 per month.

“Tattoo@Home is known for its reliability and its best value-for-money offers. And now with the FREE landline to mobile phone calls, it validates its position as the superior broadband in the market, Gamban said.

Tattoo@Home is powered by Tattoo, the back-to-back winner of the prestigious Broadband Service Provider in the Philippines award for 2011-2012 given by the global research and consulting firm Frost and Sullivan.
