Just recently, SM Cinema launched its newest website, as well as, online ticketing and mobile services before the premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows here in Cebu City. In addition, SM is very proud to inform movie goers about a revolutionary means of purchasing and reserving movie tickets online.

This new process is called mobile ticketing.

Mobile ticketing allows people interested in purchasing movie tickets to reserve and buy them online and pick up their ticket at any of SM’s theater using any mobile phone. It doesn’t really matter who is the manufacturer of your phone since all you have to do is compose a simple text message that contains the bCODE. This is a type of code that is considered simple and is definitely compatible with any mobile phone. With these text, you can pick up your tickets from the cinema.

Latest News on Pacquiao vs Mayweather: Pacquiao Beats Margarito, Is Mayweather Next?

Everyone is wondering the same thing after Pacquiao beats Margarito, what’s the latest news on Pacquiao vs Mayweather? Has Floyd Mayweather Jr. watched Pacquiao in action as he conquered over Margarito who was a former World Boxing Association champion? The Philippines’ pride, Manny Pacquiao has now achieved his 8th World Title as he beat the Mexican boxer based on a unanimous decision after 12 rounds of exchanging blows.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. who is considered the third highest paid athlete had his share of controversies back in September 2010. His homophobic and racist rant as well as trash talk directed at Manny Pacquiao was caught on video and is now receiving significant views in YouTube. After a few weeks he was also arrested for allegedly harassing his ex-partner Josie Harris and faced charges of theft, robbery and domestic violence. He was released after paying a $3,000 bail.

Latest Pacquiao News: Who is the Winner between Manny Pacquiao vs. Antonio Margarito?

If you’ve haven’t heard of the latest Pacquiao news then you should know that every Filipino and fan of Manny all over the world is now sitting back and watching his fight against Antonio Margarito trying to anticipate who will come out as the winner. The fight is now happening live at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium located in Arlington Texas. HBO is already doing a special 24/7 coverage of their fight. Just earlier both fighters weighed in on the HBO scales where Pacman weighed 148 pounds and Antonio Margarito with 165 pounds.

SM Cinema theater is also covering the fight live on big screen starting 8 AM with P500 per ticket. Tickets were said to be available in all SM Ticketing outlets. The show will run without commercials which is a good thing unlike watching the fight on TV. However, most people around the world and even people in the Philippines are watching the event in Pay Per View. I’m watching the fight as well along with thousands of Filipinos who are praying for Pacquiao’s win.

Quirino Grandstand Hostage Crisis

My Thoughts on the Quirino Grandstand Hostage Crisis

I wanted to write about the Quirino Grandstand Hostage Drama sooner but decided to hold it off since I knew I was still raving with anger about the whole incident. Now, here’s my take on the most “talked-about” story not only in the Philippines but I dare say – the whole world.

The first time I heard about the hostage crisis which took place at Quirino Granstand last August 23, 2010, my initial reaction was perhaps the same as everyone else’s. I was angry by what the hostage taker did, not only to demoralize and disgrace his name, but also his family, his friends, the Filipino people, and the country in general.

Make Your Own Havaianas Wholesale and Gelatissimo Treats

Last Saturday, we dropped by one of our favorite shopping malls, the SM City Cebu, and we came across the Make Your Own Havaianas 2010 and was instantly considering buying our personalized wholesale Havaianas or in bulk. However, as quickly as the idea came, I was quick to change my mind, as well, knowing that I have more than enough flip flops at home. If you don’t know where to buy your dream Havaianas flip flops then this was you chance!

The event was catapulted at the Northwing Atrium from July 30 to August 2, 2010. Havaianas, a widely known (maybe a little too much) brand of flip flops not only in Cebu but Nationwide and even Worldwide, inveigled and surprised Cebuanos with its Annual Make Your Own Havaianas event allowing people to showcase their individual ingenuity and style.

Beetle Mania Exhibit at SM City Cebu Northwing Atrium

The Beetle Mania Exhibit was brought about by SM City Cebu featuring classic Volkswagen Beetles at the Northwing Atrium last June 2 to June 10, 2010. A total of 9 VW replicas were put up for display set to reminisce some of the most prominent and highly fabricated vehicles back in the 1950’s.

The Volkswagen Beetle was produced by the German auto maker Volkswagen from 1938 until 2003. Deemed very economical and designed for sustained high speed, the VW Beetle was originally intended for the Autobahn, a German term that denotes dual carriageway limited access highway. In due course, the Beetle turned out to be a top seller in the US despite its rear-wheel design. It was regarded as the benchmark for the American compact and subcompact cars like the Chevrolet Corvair, Chevrolet Vega and Ford Pinto. The success of the beetle mania owed much to its tremendous high build quality and innovative, attention-grabbing advertising.

SM Cyberzone Summer Festival 2010

The SM Cyberzone’s Summer Festival was all I could think of that day. Anticipating the utter exquisite experience that’s waiting to unravel, my restless mind can think of nothing else. It seems only yesterday when the child in me scribbled a circle on the date May 25, 2010. A day full of promise and excitement when in just a few hours, SM Cyberzone will celebrate its Summer Festival here in the very heart of Cebu City, boasting its significant technological multiplicity, that’s absolutely a dream come true for any techy geek. Despite our rather extreme schedules at work, my colleagues and I decided to be part of history and witness the SM Cyberzone Summer Festival.

The Cebu Blog Camp 2010 held last Saturday, May 22; at the CAP building near Jones Cebu was quite a success! For a start, if you consider yourself a novice in the blogging world, you’ll find yourself feeling countless moments of hesitation. In my case, I’m usually impervious when it comes to attending events such as this. Luckily this time, a really good friend of mine, by the name of Xerxes Bernadez of ObnoxiousQueer, persuade me to join the Cebu Blog Camp. Nothing personal really, let’s just say I can be unusually anti-social but in the end, I’m just another blogger who enjoys meeting new people and building friendly relationships, learning new ideas from the best particularly one that can help improve your skills, and of course, accepting freebies!!!
