I first saw the company back in Domination 4 in SMX last April 10. Well, I didn’t really spend time checking their booth as I was there to take photos of Bands, Cosplayers, Game booths and gamers who attended the event for my gaming blog. When one of their girls approached me and explained to me how the bid site works then I just told her I’ll try the service at home and then she showed me a card with 20 bid credits printed on it. And I was convinced to get 1 card for 100 bucks.

Few days after I checked the site and I was amazed how low the ending bid for an Item. I told myself I’m going to buy more bid Credits and try the bidding on the site. My first attempt was nice but unfortunately I didn’t expected sometimes bidding would take hours. Make sure you have the energy to stay late at night.

To make the story short. I won the following from Winila
1. PSP GO (Actual Market Price Range : 10k to 14k )
My Final Bid : P5,277.50

2. Logitech R-20 2.1 Speaker System (Actual Market Price Range : 2000 to 2500 )
My Final Bid : P515.00

3. Sony Cybershot DSC-W180 (Sony Cybershot DSC-W180 : 8000 to 10000)
My Final Bid : P985.50

As you can see I saved few thousands from the three items above. Let say I still need to add the amount I spent for the Bid Credits. Add 2k for the bid credit expenses. I still saved a lot like 55% to 60% from the Market Price. One more thing it just so happen that there are a lot of bidders for the PSP Go thats why the price went up to 5.2k. But if you check the Sony Cybershot which I won for only 985.50.

I know your next question would be… are they for real ? lets just put it this way I’m still waiting for their notification as when I can pick up my items. I know their office, I was able to call them, I was able to deposit to their BDO account. Their support responses to my email. So far all are good. As soon as I get these items I’ll do an update post on this site.

By the way Id like to point you the an old post in which I got a NINTENDO Wii for the TAWAD NA service from Paysetter International and Globe. I got my prize after a month I think.

As of this writing and since early this morning my PLDT Mydsl at home speed is almost normal. All websites I visited were loading just fine. Now, the bad news my Business MyDSL connection is still very slow. The weird part is that the said Business location is within few blocks from our house. I rather have the Business DSL up than the Residential connection but ofcourse I still cannot do anything. I can still hear that PLDT support voice recorded when I dialed their support numbers.

Oh Well!

Since I missed watching some part of GMA’s Sona 2009, so my option would rely on some news from TV networks. Maybe GMA and her officials accomplished something for the Filipino people for the last nine years but I think it would still not be enough to say that Philippines became a better country today.

Actually, I’m only interested on how should our government handled things happened before like the expired medicines issue, Overprice Government Contracts, unexplained travel expenses and those top ranks government officials who was never been punished by law. Just imagine if those money was used to improve the education system of the country and assist our poor Filipino brothers and maybe we will see a better country.

I hope the next President would be a better one than GMA.

I have three nurse siblings. The eldest is a Nurse who now works in Ireland. Then my brother who passed the Physician Board Exam and later on studied Nursing and passed the Nursing Board Exam as well. Now he works in Bahrain as a company doctor. Then our youngest who is a Physical Therapist by profession and who also passed both Physical Therapist and Nursing Board Exam. Then me? A BS Computer Science graduate but gave up the career for entrepreneurship and blogging.

Actually, up to now I’m not sure if I made the right choice going into entrepreneurship coz I rode one helyah ride venturing into different businesses for the last 4 to 5 years. I cannot say though that I made wrong decision because I’m happy with the time I have spent with the family especially the kids. Well, that’s what I think of the path I took while most of the family members encourage me to go back to the career ladder.

For 2009, I will still continue taking the path of entrepreneurship and I positively believe in setting a larger goal this year. I won’t be listing it here but this post will remind me that today I made this goal and I should do anything to achieve it. Hopefully, by the end of the year I can re-post this and say ahh MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
