Random Acts of Kindness at the Ayala Triangle Gardens



Wazzup Pilipinas!

We were only informed of what was about to happen that very same day. Just like the same people who were surprised of what was about to happen that day, we were also trying to figure out our participation to the said event.

Are we going to be part of the group to offer a random act of kindness, or are we going to be at the other end?

Later we found out that we could also fall in line and get the chance to receive a gift just like the others.

I have not started to fall in line yet but I was already offered a gift by the PR owner himself. Wow! Thanks!

Maybe I deserved it for being the early bird who arrived at the event 30 minutes before the call time.


The Last Time for Pistang Pinoy


Wazzup Pilipinas!


It will be our batch's 4th and last time to have "Pistang Pinoy" in Pasig City Science High School. Though there were last minute announcements about what food to bring, (well they said that we should only bring light snacks or finger food because there will be a meeting at the school's gymnasium with the parents and the former city mayor.) that didn't stop our batch's eagerness to have the best Pistang Pinoy in the history of our school.

Though there were some tension earlier the day, because of some problems. Especially the food issue but whatever. Since our classmates has catering service, to be fair and just, we decided to order from them and the best part is, we were exempted from our Social Science pretest because we were one of the top who has the best food plus, the school also grant us 200 pesos.  Our batch also bought/rent a dirty ice cream cart that is more than enough to feed the whole batch!

Epson Alerts Public On Importance Of Projector Color Brightness



Wazzup Pilipinas!

Epson Philippines Corporation (EPC) held a Media Technology Briefing aimed to drive public awareness on a global metric that could help customers get the most out of projectors they plan to buy.

Epson’s technology briefing focused on the Color Light Output (CLO) metric that determines Color Brightness in projectors. CLO (or Color Brightness) is a scientiļ¬c global standard that measures the luminance of the colors Red, Green, and Blue. The metric was specifically developed to measure signiļ¬cant differences in color brightness performance among different projector models and brands to provide consumers with fair and accurate information.

Most users determine a projector’s capability to successfully present vibrant images with the projector’s brightness, measured in lumens. In general, the higher the number of lumens, the brighter the projector. However, the widely-used lumens specification measures only white light, and according to a recent study from TFC Info Associates, more than 70 percent of projector buyers do not know this fact.¹
