A Review: BlackBerry Bold 9900

Written by on

For the longest time, I have been meaning to try using a BlackBerry phone. My hubby has one, but it gives me limited accessibility since it was issued by their company, and they apparently  blocked  (***sad face**) some Apps for work reasons. So you can imagine how ecstatic I was when a co-blogger asked me if I can test the BlackBerry Bold 9900 for two weeks and do a review after. Of course I said YES! So here it goes: GREAT KEYBOARD FOR SENDING AND RECEIVING MESSAGES/EMAILS FAST The most notable experience of using the BlackBerry Bold 9900 is the keyboard. It gives me the ease and comfort of sending/receiving messages and emails fast.

Midtown Printing Press: Printing Its Way With The Times

Written by on

    As far as I can remember, when I was active with the school paper and yearbook club back in high school in the late 80s and 90s, Midtown Printing Press was already there. Today, after 45 years in the printing business, it has gotten stronger and bolder to face the challenges of the times. With the onset of e-books (short for electronic book, also known as a digital book, ebook, and eBook) and publications on the internet you would think this industry has died. Not with Midtown. Being in the forefront of printing premium quality yearbooks for countless schools and universities not just in the Davao region but all through out the country, it has set a standard on  how printing should be done. The management of Midtown never stopped pursuing for excellence,  they have an admirable thrust of always perfecting their craft in the light of technological […]

You’re only investment is time and your best judgement if that particular giveaway is something you like or worth your time.
