App Review: PERA SWIPE

It has been a week since I have downloaded the latest popular app, Pera Swipe. If you have no idea what I am talking about. Pera Swipe is an efficient all-in-one lock screen platform for Filipino smartphone users where they reward users with points that can be redeemed for mobile load and other prizes. You can read more about it here.



Some may say that Pera Swipe seems too good to be true but it is actually a win-win solution for both users and advertisers. A definite innovation in digital marketing that is easy, rewarding and actually helpful.

Like last Monday, we were thinking what to buy for dinner and was having a hard time deciding. Thanks to Pera Swipe, I saw their post and we got ourselves lechon manok from Andoks. Pera Swipe shows its users relevant and useful ads. 


However the ads are not the best thing about it. Instead, the points that can be redeemed for rewards is the main reason why you should download the app. 

And there are several ways to earn points aside from swiping. Based on my experience, I was able to earn 1,200+ points in 3-days enough to get me a Php 10 prepaid load. Thus, I can say that getting rewards is very attainable. Just remember to always check the EVENTS Tab in order to participate in different promotions to earn additional points. 

--------------------------------------

Here are some questions raised by other readers about Pera Swipe. 

1. How do they earn from it? 

This is not confirmed but I believe Pera Swipe earns through product advertisements shown through the app. 

2. Does it load up your phone with unnecessary stuff? 

The good news is it doesn't load your phone with unnecessary stuff. I did not notice any changes to the performance of my device. 

3. How long has the app been around? 


The app’s grand opening was last June 1, 2017 but it has been around a couple of months before. It is now on its version 2.0

4. Can I still use this app even if I am a postpaid user? 

Yes, definitely. Aside from prepaid load, you can also redeem Sodexo Mobile Passes that you can use for shopping and dining. 

5. How was the redemption process? 

The redemption process is easy but is on a limited schedule. Prepaid load can only be redeemed from 9AM-9PM.

Sodexo Mobile Pass are redeemed manually. You just have to fill out a google form. Redemption cut-off is every Tuesday (11:59PM) and codes will be sent by Friday. These are delivered to the mobile number and email address provided during the redemption process. 


Also, here are my other observations about Pera Swipe. 

  • You need internet connection to use it. 
  • It does not work on rooted devices. 
So, what are you waiting for? Download now at https://goo.gl/KnFjgL and sign-up using this referral code: mymetrolifestyle and get 500 points instantly!  

Update: You can now get 555 bonus points if you use the code: mymetrolifestyle

Road Trip: Bacolod to Cebu

I was so surprised to discover that traveling from Bacolod to Cebu by land is very easy. We were used to flying so, it was only last Mother's Day weekend that I decided to give it a try. 

Our route was Bacolod to San Carlos Port (by land), San Carlos to Toledo (via RORO or water taxi) and Toledo to Cebu (by land.) 

If you plan to bring your own car, the fastest route going to San Carlos Port is through the via Don Salvador Benedicto highway. Travel time is approximately 2.5 hours though you might be interested in spending a few hours in the area to enjoy it. You may read about our short Don Salvador Benedicto adventure, here

If you plan to take the Ceres bus going to Cebu, then you have two options: 

A. Take a direct trip (BCD - Cebu) 

This means that you don't have to transfer buses and purchase your RORO ticket separately. However, travel time is longer since they take the slower RORO. Estimated travel time by direct trip is 7-8 hours. 

Here is the schedule: (subject to change without notice) 

1:30 AM
4:00 AM
6:45 AM
9:30 AM
12:00 NN
2:30 PM 
9:30 PM

Fare: Php 505.00 and if you have questions, here is the contact number of the Ceres South Bus Terminal - (034) 4329427 / 09177711212

B. Take separate trips 

1. Take the bus from Bacolod to San Carlos via Don Salvador Benedicto
Travel time is 2.5 hours
Fare: Php 144.00



They have buses leaving every few minutes.We took this option since we did not make it to the 12NN BCD-CEB direct trip. When choosing this option, inform the driver or conductor that you will be going to the pier. Once you reach San Carlos, they will be dropping you at the tricycle terminal. 

Take a tricycle going to the Port and ask the driver to drop you at the Fastcat or RORO ticketing office. Fare is only Php 20.00

2. Ride a water taxi or Fast Cat from San Carlos Port to Toledo Port

There are also several options traveling from San Carlos to Toledo. I highly suggest you take the Fast Cat. (This is not a sponsored post.) It is not your usual "fastcraft" that can only accommodate passengers but cars and motorcycles can take the Fast Cat too. It is new, clean and fast. Travel time is only 1 hour. 



Rates start at Php 150 for Economy, Php 200 for Premium Economy (Airconditioned) and Php 250 for the Business Class. I took the Business Class since it's cooler, not so crowded and it comes with a free light snack. 

Senior Citizens and children are entitled to discounts and those below 3 years old are free of charge. If you are bringing your car, an SUV/ AUV will cost you Php 1,535.00 while a sedan's rate is Php 1,139.00. 

For a complete schedule of trips, you may visit Fast Cat's website.

Also, don't forget to pay the terminal fee is Php 20.00 per passenger. 

Additional Tip: If you plan to just leave your car in San Carlos Port, the overnight parking fee is only Php 34.00. 

UPDATED on 10/28/17: Due to change in San Carlos Port's Management, overnight parking is no longer allowed. 

3. Ride a passenger van from Toledo - Cebu City

Once you reach Toledo port, take a tricycle going to the bus or v-hire terminal for Php 10.00. Since most of the buses are non-aircon, I highly suggest that you take a passenger van. Fare is only Php 100.00 per person and travel time is 1.5 hours - 2 hours only. 

Additional Tip: Mcdonalds is just walking distance from Toledo port in case you're hungry. 

If you plan your trip carefully and minimize wait time, you can reach Cebu in 6 hours. It actually has a very minimal difference if you travel by plane. Since BCD-Silay Airport takes 1 hour, the pre-departure wait time is 2 hours, flying time is 1 hour and Mactan Airport to Cebu City takes 1.5-2 hours due to traffic. 

Do you have any other questions? Feel free to comment below or send us a message at Facebook.

The Correct Way to Get Wildlife Out of Your Home

Since humans interact with homes every day, they can quickly find the exits when necessary. Wildlife, on the other hand, can be confused by the sounds and smells indoors to the point where some don’t recognize an open door when you give it to them. There are also situations where wildlife removal is difficult because the creatures simply want to stay in this warm place with plenty of food. Here are some things to avoid and some to do when you have an unwanted guest.



Do Open Doors and Windows

Even though some wildlife will not recognize the exits you're offering, it is often better to have them than not. Certain rodents, once they feel trapped, may lash out at anything that moves. Once you've called an exterminator in Houston, TX, ask for other recommendations until arrival.

Don't Trust Old Folk Remedies

It can seem tempting to use plants, candles or other remedies to "urge" wildlife to leave your home, but most of these are better at preventing them from getting inside in the first place. You are better off trusting a professional to advise you that "old wives."

Do Check Local Laws

In some states, a permit is required to remove wildlife from a home or the surrounding areas. There are also laws against releasing wildlife on government property. Snakes, in particular, sometimes have laws against even releasing them in your neighborhood as they are legally classified as a nuisance. Another note is bees usually require relocation instead of destruction.


Don't Go In Blind

Just because you have a cat does not mean you are ready to tackle a raccoon and toss it outside. Wildlife extraction should never be attempted by a novice. Even if you have experience with wild critters, it is a good idea to do some research before attempting anything risky.


Do Move Your Pets to a Safe Space

Wildlife that gets indoors might try to attack a domestic cat, dog, bird or other pet. It's a good idea to move your pet somewhere safe with a door you can close. Large pets or ones that feel a need to be involved in everything might balk at this imprisonment, but it prevents possible injury.


Handling wildlife removal is something best left to professionals. These tips can help protect you, your family and pets while you wait for someone more qualified for the job. A qualified exterminator can also tell you about any laws regarding your particular pest.

The Natural Way to Feel More Empowered As a Woman

Gone are the days when the "male chauvinist" society had women as far inferior as men—very dependent and submissive to whatever the latter commanded. Women today are not just regarded as homemakers, but nation-builders as well. Beyond the confines of their houses, they, too, can make a big difference––be it in the economic, social or political arena. 

From being a household queen to boardroom’s rockstar, women run on very hectic and active schedules everyday. So imagine the strength they have to withstand the daily grinds, not to mention the stress and pressure they have to endure just to fulfill the duties bestowed upon them.

Nevertheless, they’re no “Wonder Woman” at all, nor our very own heroine “Darna” so as not to feel exhausted and tired from chores or work. They’re also humans, who need to pause for a break from being the jack-of-all-trades. 


This March—declared as International Women’s Month—is the best time to celebrate their power and influence with the gift of beauty and wellness that they truly deserve. What a better way to have it than a rosy, bouncy and shiny hair to begin with.

Because it is the mane that a person is mainly looked upon, it’s a conscious effort for everyone, especially women, to make it pleasant to gaze at. So a regular bottled shampoo and conditioner, plus treatment are, more often than not, the solutions to turn to, regardless of the bad effects they may cause.

Some of the harmful chemicals they contain are too much to handle, especially by as fragile as a hair follicle. Their main damage being mane breakage is hard to manage. Tricky it is to treat the resulting tress that’s less weak and elastic. Though negligible, other repercussions—allergic reaction and scalp irritation—also need keen attention and urgent solution. 


Where else do women usually turn to for remedy than a beauty salon. After a pampering sesh, they may opt to avail any of their formulated solution for upkeep. For optimum results, it’s best to combine it with NOVUHAIR 3-in-1 pack to promote robust locks and scalp.

NOVUHAIR is the only tress growth product in the market containing 19 natural herbs, essential oils and co-factor nutrients working synergistically to help remedy mane problems from growth to vanishing. It deeply penetrates to help rejuvenate, nourish, maintain moisture in the scalp and hair, and improve the overall appearance of the tress. Lastly, it’s an effective and safe solution to arrest hair loss. 

So come and celebrate womanhood at your favorite salon anytime this month. Much better if you can make it regularly to bond with your sisters or besties over a hair spa or treatment. After all, your crowning glory deserves a second look.

Feel more empowered as a woman - order NOVUHAIR 3-in-1 pack online, get one (1) box of NOVUSKIN LIFT with 30 anti-aging tablets worth P2,970 for FREE at Lazada

Experiment and Create Majestic Landscaping Designs with Silk Trees

Creating good landscaping designs at the offices or commercial establishments require a lot of creativity and application of modern techniques to ensure that it suits the requirements while keeping it economical and within the budget. One needs to do some experimenting with the landscaping items to find out which are the best ones to use in designing for one's space. A great landscaping design is very important since it creates goodwill which will eventually attract a lot of clients or customers which good for the business. On the other hand, a not-so-good landscaping design will reflect the same in its business clients.


Essentials for creating a majestic landscape at the office

A majestic landscaping design requires excellent ideas and creative experimentation with the modern landscaping techniques. The use of ornamental trees like the Capensia can be a great idea however, there are some limitations for using such plants and trees.Thus, most of the time the use of large artificial trees in landscaping is the best alternative.  


Drawbacks of natural plants and trees in landscaping

Some of the common problems with the use of natural plants and trees in landscaping at the offices and public buildings are the following: 

  • High Maintenance - natural plants and trees like the capensia tree requires high maintenance including regular watering and pruning. It also involves the application of fertilizers and insecticides whenever required. 
  • Optimum conditions- the natural plants and trees will not grow everywhere and will need the outdoor conditions to survive (e.g. adequate sunlight and air) Thus, it would be difficult for these plants to thrive inside the office. 
  • Regular cleaning- one will have to clean the place of the dried leaves and litters from the tree which is one of the major considerations in the office landscaping. Many plants and trees will attract flies and insects which is also a major concern in the offices.
  • Limilifespanspan- the plants and trees have a limited lifespan which means it needs to be replaced after certain time. On the other hand, the artificial greenery  will last for a lifetime once they are placed.
  • Can’t be moved - after you created a landscape design, it would be difficult to move the plants or trees and recreate the design. This is something not possible with the natural plants and trees thus, the use of artificial foliage is getting popular. 
Talking about the natural Capensia tree, the drawbacks will be more as they are ornamental trees and its natural habitat is in the South African forests. So, they won’t survive in all climatic conditions. The artificial Capensia tree is a great alternative with a lot of advantages.

Reasons for choosing the artificial Capensia tree for a majestic landscape in your office:

The artificial Capensia is a great choice for a majestic landscape at your office. Here are some of the advantages:

  • The artificial Capensia tree has a green color on one side of the leaves and a marvelous maroon color on the other which is a rarity among the ornamental plants. It will be a great sight at your office.
  • The item is best suited for indoor as well as outdoor landscaping. The polyester leaves and the natural wood stem of the tree are durable to harsh weather conditions. You need not worry about the color fading away due to exposure to outdoor conditions.
  • Talking about the artificial greenery, most silk pants have one uniform color throughout. The mixture of green and maroon will be a great treat for the eyes, and the viewers will be attracted to its beauty.
  • You can use the silk Capensia tree according to occasions. You can use it indoors during the indoor office parties to treat your guests and shift them outdoors otherwise for a great outdoor landscape.
  • The silk Capensia tree is available in sizes ranging from 5’ to 8’ which lets you choose the ideal size for the location in your office.
Picking the ideal place for the artificial Capensia tree outdoors

The Capensia tree will look more natural outdoors like any other natural tree. You can pick up any spot and experiment it with the landscaping item. The majestic view of the Capensia tree will be a treat to the eyes as the viewers cherish its charm.

You can experiment with some locations like the lawn outside the office or near the entrance area where it will get the maximum views. You can place the outdoor artificial tree in a separate garden or just place it on a stand near the gate; it is sure to turn some heads and get a lot of appreciation. One thing you should keep in mind while experimenting with the position of the artificial greenery is that you must place it at such a location where it will get the focus of the people and placing some lights near it at night will give a heavenly look.

Picking the ideal place for the artificial Capensia tree indoors

The artificial Capensia tree will look magical indoors as large natural trees don’t usually grow indoors. You can place the artificial greenery and decorative wall panels at any location ranging from the reception, the meeting room where it may bring a refreshing mood during busy business meetings, the refreshment areas for the employees where it will uplift the mood of the employees, etc. You can put your creativity to use and experiment with a lot of new places in your office and find out the best results.

ThermaLeaf technology

With the help of ThermaLeaf manufacturing process, the polyester leaves are made fire retardant to increase the safety of your office as there are a lot of recent cases of fire breakouts in offices due to the use of cheap landscaping products. It will ensure safety as well as spread the charm in a majestic landscape in your office.

Summary

The silk Capensia tree is made after an ornamental plant growing in South African forests with green and maroon leaves. It has a majestic view along with ThermaLeaf technology which will be great for indoor as well as outdoor landscaping in your office.

For Safety, Wear Proper Motorcycle Gear

There are both men and women bikers, but men bikers outnumbered women bikers. When it comes to shopping for motorcycle gear, there not many choices for the women to choose from. But for the men, they can easily find something that they like at the store, pick it up and try it on. If it fits and the quality is acceptable, they pay for it, and the shopping is complete!

Women bikers, whether they are riders or passenger, have to understand that shopping for motorcycle gear is not the same as shopping for their clothing. Whether one is the rider or the passenger, both must understand about taking safety precaution and to put on motorcycle safety gear whenever they get on a bike. Both must understand the consequences of falling off the motorcycle without wearing proper motorcycle apparel.


When it comes to shopping for proper motorcycle apparel, women bikers have to understand that safety must come first. Wearing the size that fits without restricting the necessary movement is important. Choosing and wearing motorcycle gear is first and foremost about safety protection and proper fit, and not so much about looking good.

When we shop for women’s motorcycle jackets, it is different from trying on clothes in front of a mirror. We must understand that motorcycle jackets are designed to fit and perform best when seated on a bike, not standing beside one. Motorcycle jackets are meant to fit snugly at the chest and loose across the shoulder so that when the arms reach out for the handlebars, all will fit properly. The jacket sleeves should also be longer than usual.

There are different types of motorcycle riding jackets. Most are designed to work in more than one season. These jackets have removable liners and strategically placed ventilation for more airflow. There are also waterproof jackets with covered or sealed zippers to keep the bikers dry. Some jackets may have straps on the sleeves to help keep armour in place.

Good quality motorcycle safety apparel is designed for protection against impact and abrasion resistance. The apparel should accommodate armour to be crashworthy. The apparel should be made of high-quality materials that are abrasion resistance e.g. leather and should be stitched with a material that won’t give way to impact.


Motorcycle pants should run slightly long so that the knee armour slides perfectly into place when your feet are on the pegs. Some pants have the ability to adjust your knee armour up or down depending on how tall you are. Choose riding gloves with a pre-curved fit so they feel comfortable when gripping the bar. Riding boots should limit your foot from excessive forward or backward movement.

Ditch chemical romance for natural love this Valentine's Day with Novuhair

Its the love’s month once again! A month full of seeking to perfectly express your love in beautiful and fabulous ways. This is because they want to ensure they're the apple of the eye of their special someone come the romantic occasion of the year that they will celebrate together. 


So if you find yourself being whisked away to a charming place or have planned on a candle-lit dinner date with your beloved, you’ve got every reason to get all glammed up on Hearts Day! Why not? T’is a celebration of love after all. 

Make a big impact by putting together a look that brings out the best in you. From your clothes and make-up to the tiny details that count, you have many options to get that stunning aura on V-Day. 



Better start with the hair, which usually draws attention to a person. Per studies, a head full of hair indicates youth and health at its best. Power and stability, on the other hand, corresponds to a long, shiny tress. A bouncy bob means bubbly personality. Meanwhile, curly locks add to masculinity and femininity. 

Gotta hair like them? Well, don’t lose hope if you ain’t have any. All you need is love. And what a better way if it comes out naturally in you. Taking good care of it should not be enforced, but rather a rewarding pamper for yourself. This applies, too, when choosing the right product for your mane. 

Stay away from chemical-based ones. This is a “must”, especially when dealing with problems like shedding or thinning of the hair. Most of which contain parabens as preservative, according to aesthetics and rejuvenation expert Dr. Cecilia Catapang. 

“Through the years, as you use chemical-based product, slowly and little by little, your body absorbs the parabens, which accumulate to significant levels, enough to induce what is called an estrogen sensitive breast cancer,” she says. 

Synthetic haircare products have several adverse effects because they are drugs. What you don't know about them might hurt you. So avoid it the next time you go over the counter for your supplies or ditch what you’re using today for naturally-made products because they aid in stimulating hair growth while maintaining its natural water, shine and vibrancy. 

Amid a glut of chemical-free hair solutions out there, Dr. Catapang recommends NOVUHAIR for its being natural and compliant to the ASEAN Cosmetic Directive, which means it doesn’t have paraben. In addition of its safety benefits, this topical scalp lotion specifically is the only hair growth product in the market containing 19 natural herbs, essential oils and co-factor nutrients working synergistically to help remedy hair problems from growth to vanishing. 

NOVUHAIR helps rejuvenate, nourish and maintain moisture in the scalp and improve the overall appearance of the tress. Lastly, it’s more effective and safe solution to help remedy hair loss and promote hair growth. 

Sounds like it’s time to shift to “nature’s answer to hair loss”, ladies and gentlemen. It’s time to start loving again your hair with NOVUHAIR to enhance or bring back the old “crowning glory” to look your best in front of your dearest, or turning the head of a potential mate on you this V-Day. Let the love begin! Discover more ideas on how to embark on a wellness journey at www.coryquirino.com
