Just Thai Offers 25% Off on All Meals for Call Center Peeps

Wazzup Pilipinas!

You have to admire the stamina of most call center employees for being able to even work productively and with lots of energy even during graveyard shifts. I can imagine how hard it must have been before they got used to working at irregular hours of the night or even the wee hours of the morning. Their bodies probably took some time to adjust before they finally got comfortable.

As a salute to these fine men and women who painstakingly man their stations to talk with clients over the phone, Just Thai has come up with a reward for them. They only need to present their company IDs and they will automatically get 25% off on their meals.

That's 25% off on one meal for every presentation of company ID. Now isn't that a great incentive! You'll be able to feast on their Seafood with Basil (as seen from the above photo) at a discounted price.

So what are you waiting for, as soon as you take your break, come over to the nearest Just Thai restaurant to get your meal discounts! The promo is available only until May 31, 2014. Just take a look down below for more of the dishes available at this fine Thai restaurant.

Slimmers World Miss Bikini Philippines Pageant 2014: Lovely Ladies in Elegant and Flattering Long Gowns

Wazzup Pilipinas!

We've seen the fit and slim lovely ladies from Slimmers World in their titillating two-piece bikinis during the press launch of Miss Bikini Philippines 2014 held last May 2, 2014 at the Diamond Hotel in Manila. But that was just the morning highlights.

In the afternoon, the ladies returned wearing elegant long gowns to really impress members of the media on how stunning they look wearing fabulously designed evening gowns that were more than flaterring to tehir well-structured figures. The catwalk presentation is for another competition where the winners will be announced on the 13th of May at the Resorts World Manila.

Too bad I'm going to miss the grand finals since I will be in Puerto Galera during that day. I'll be sure to watch it online if ever there's a live showing, and if ever there's a good Internet connection to where I am going.

To please everyone here who will also not be able to see them during the main event, I have here most of them as they allured us wearing amazing long gowns that really made them stood out complemented with their well-maintained bodies that were shaped at Slimmers World gyms.

Logitech Color Collection for 2014: ExpressYourself in Style with Eye-Catching Colored Mice

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Gone are the black, silver or white colors of tech gadgets and accessories. People are now more expressive that they want to match their gadgets with their unique personalities. Each color is reflective of some of our traits and would sometimes be quite accurate in defining us as a person.

When I was invited to attend an event which required us to wear something colored pink, purple, green and blue, I knew it would be the same colors of the new products that was being launched last May 6, 2014. Held at the Crowne Plaza located at Ortigas Center in Pasig city, was the launch of Logitech's New Color Collection for 2014.

I wore green to the event, not because its my favorite color, but because I wanted to try out something new, and a gadget or tech accessory that's colored green will be something different for me. Later I found out the color has a few meanings behind it which also somehow reflects my personality.
