Globe Telecom recently widened its scope of services in the global arena with the creation of Globe Mobile Italy S.r.I. (GMI), making it one of the members of the Globe group of companies. GMI will handle the offering of various telecommunications services such as voice, SMS, MMS, load top-up and mobile data in Italy.

With this development, Italy becomes the sixth country where Globe currently has a robust retail presence, which also includes the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Hong Kong and Saudi Arabia, extending its footprint to more countries and empowering Filipinos to be even more connected across borders.

Coinciding with the establishment of GMI is the launch of the Globe local Italy SIM, a prepaid mobile service powered by the synergy between leading Italian mobile network virtual operator Compagnia Italia Mobile S.r.I., and network enabler Effortel Technologies, a Belgium-based network enabler company.

Komikon 2013: Keeping My Childhood Alive (Part 1)

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Growing up reading Funny Komiks, Marvel comics, manga and having a Jack Chick comic phase (ugh!), I'm a big fan of comics.Through the years, I still love the art form that still amazes and spellbinds the kid in me. Thanks to Komikon, the event doesn't just keep Pinoy comics alive, but also my childhood as well.

Now on its 9th year, Komikon 2013 gathers the local and international comic book artist and writers to celebrate this art form. It is a place the fans meet comic creators - which is so awesome. Up and coming comics and their creators showcase what they got to soon-to-be fans. The event has talks or seminars to further salivate comic enthusiasts. And of course, comic books from indie, local, imported, and vintage plus original artworks are for sale as well as other comic related merchandize. Games and prizes abound during the event. Komikon is an annual event and holds its activities at the Bayanihan Center in Pasig City.

This year, is my second time (I have gone to this years Summer Komikon), and this time it a special one. The artist and writers are raising funds for the victims of Super-Typhoon Yolanda/Haiyan. So the sales will go to that cause - Awesome! And with that comes my special "mission" to that event.

Last November 12-15, 2013, we had an exchange program with the Malaysian students from Malaysia. We were able to communicate using Japanese and English languages. They've learned some of the filipino words from us, and we've also learned some of the malaysian words from them.

This picture was taken when we were having the visitor session with the malaysians. It was so nice talking to them because they are so friendly and cool. Even though the time was very limited, we enjoyed each other's company and had fun.
