Techbox Philippines Expands Into Online Retail Business

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Techbox Philippines, the fastest growing gadget retail chain in the country, is expanding into the online retail segment by launching its official online store, www.techboxhub.com.

“We are launching our online store ahead of schedule because of the overwhelming clamor of people in areas without a Techbox retail outlet. We will also utilize this channel as a convenient way for customers to purchase our bundles and promos,” says Angela Gutierrez, Business Unit Head for Techbox Philippines.

“Our customers will enjoy first-in-the-market products through the Techbox Philippines online shopping site. And what’s more, we will create exclusive bundles for our customers so they can enjoy the most up-to-date gadgets at an affordable price,” added Gutierrez.

Techbox Philippines is known for selling original gadgets at a lower price. The last Techbox Mega Brands Warehouse Sale happened last June 13-15 and grossed over P10million pesos on the first day alone. The sale featured discounts of up to 80% from brands such as Lenovo, Nokia, LG, HTC, Philips, Belkin, and Nikon.

James Cousins Company's "Without Stars" and "There We Have Been"

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"There We Have Been" focuses on the first half of Murakami’s novel, wherein two dancers enact the development of relationships between the novel’s protagonist and his late best friend's girlfriend. This duet sees English performers Aaron Vickers and Lisa Welham intensely folding, wrapping and balancing, with the female character never once touching the floor.

"Without Stars" tells the other half of the story. Framed from the male protagonists’ point of view, the piece for three dancers tells the story of a man on the brink of losing the life of his love. The dance piece features international contemporary dancers Albert Garcia (Spain), Chihiro Kawasaki (Japan) and Georges Hann (UK).

James Cousins trained at the London Contemporary Dance School (LCDS), graduating in 2010 with a first class honors degree. As a performer, major highlights of his career are dancing for the international tour and film adaptation of Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake and performing for the 2012 film Anna Karenina starring Keira Knightley and Jude Law.

The world we know is about to change. Come 9 October, worm-like alien creatures will slither their way into Animax’s airwaves as Parasyte -the maxim- premieres across Asia on the same day as Japan, in original Japanese audio with English subtitles.

Based on Hitoshi Iwaaki’s award-winning manga, Parasyte -the maxim- will infuse the late 1980s – 1990s classic with a modern edge by setting the stage for the parasite epidemic in present day Japan.

Title: Parasyte -the maxim-
Genre: Sci-fi, thriller, horror
No. of episodes: 24

The story unfolds when Shinichi Izumi (voiced by Nobunaga Shumazaki, Photo Kano), an ordinary high school student, is attacked by an alien parasite. He narrowly escapes from being fully infected by a parasite known as ‘Migi’ (Japanese for ‘Right’), who only manage to assume control of Shinichi’s right arm. This marks the beginning of their extraordinary friendship, as both Shinichi and Migi will learn to co-exist with each other. The plot thickens when they encounter other man-killing parasites and find themselves caught in the battle of the two species. With them being neither fully human nor alien, which side of the battle will they choose to take?

Greetings from PANA and PANA Foundation!

The PANA Foundation will be staging the 5th PANAF IMC Youth Congress on November 21, 2014 at the Unilab Bayanihan Center, Pioneer St., Pasig City. This year’s theme is “Digital ME”.

Today’s youth go through a phase of impatience, demanding immediate gratification. Except, in a digital world, they have access to solutions and options that never before existed. Their attention span is short and they always seek affirmation. There are too many distractions and peer pressure is greater than ever.

For every ‘self-centered’ youth is an individual needing to shout out his individuality, and to seek reaction – and approval – for their action/opinion. The challenge is how to open their minds to a world where good actions and ideas, no matter how small, have the chance to spark into a world-changing phenomenon.

Foosball: The Unbeatables Movie Premiere

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Foosball players come to life because of a tear and helps real people win a real football game! For real!

I think this is the very first time a movie has based its story on a foosball, a table-top game and sport that is loosely based on association football or soccer. The table-top game resembles football in which the ball is moved by manipulating rods to which small figures of players are attached. Two to four players can play the game and score points the same way they play football.

Harry Potter's Rupert Grint voices Amadeo, the lead star of the English-dubbed 3D animation Foosball: The Unbeatables which opened last October 1 in Philippine cinemas nationwide, months ahead of its US release.

Originally titled Metegol in Argentine-Spanish and voiced with native Argentinian talents, the movie is known in the US as Underdogs and has also used the title Unbeatables in other international territories such as the Philippines.

Foosball: The Unbeatables is Juan José Campanella’s first cinematographic project since he was awarded the Oscar for The Secret in Their Eyes while Sergio Pablos, creator of the original idea for Despicable Me and who supervised Rio, is the animation head of the movie.

EMC Corporation is a global leader in enabling businesses and service providers to transform their operations and deliver IT as a service. Fundamental to this transformation is cloud computing. Through innovative products and services, EMC accelerates the journey to cloud computing, helping IT departments to store, manage, protect and analyze their most valuable asset — information — in a more agile, trusted and cost-efficient way.

The company has announced significant new product releases across its Flash, enterprise storage and Scale-Out NAS portfolios – collectively helping today’s IT organizations “Redefine Possible” and accelerate their journey to the hybrid cloud.

Over the last few years, organizations that have harnessed the megatrends of social, cloud, mobile and big data to build new applications have been able to transform their industries. The recipe for IT transformation is conceptually simple – invest in new applications by reducing investment in the existing application estate. However, the reality is that there is 29% annual data growth in existing application workloads, a continued 58% “drag” incurred by supporting infrastructure applications on business applications, and the ever escalating need for faster performance for specific application workloads.

Andrew thinks low of Ferris because apparently she’s a “woman.” He hasn’t been a good husband to Ferris.
Back in the old days, girls we’re supposed to stay at home and do the chores. Andrew thinks of himself as the ‘dominant’ because he’s the only guy in the house which makes Ferris the one who submits.

Andrew doesn’t allow Ferris to go to work even until he was recently been fired from his company due to the factory’s shut down. While Ferris is just a normal house wife with no education backing her up.

Below is our story for the day all about the life of a family with their own share of problems. The man has his own point of view about women whom she downgrades to a point that could become a critical phase in the relationship.
