I wonder
How many times were there tears as you walk away?
How many times have I asked you to stay?
Because I wonder, will you still love me in the morning?

Why Get the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 from Globe?
One of the hottest, most-talked-about item in the smartphone arena today is the Samsung Galaxy Note 2. I won’t talk about its features, but it really is the smartphone-cum-tablet of choice for creative minds. (Read about the key features of the phone here.)
But why get it from Globe Postpaid? Well, Globe Postpaid is the leader in postpaid; hence, that might be the reason why your contacts mostly are from Globe. Plus, Globe’s 3G mobile internet is fast and reliable. I’ve said that a lot of times, and it’s true! But anyway, those are a given already; there are more reasons why you should get the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 from Globe Postpaid.
First off, the cash out amounts every month were slashed off. Those availing the UnliSurf Plan 999 that comes with unlimited mobile browsing will only have to pay 700 PHP (from 800 PHP) a month for 24 months on top of their monthly bill!
Meanwhile, those availing of UnliSurf Plan 1799, which comes with unlimited surfing and 800 PHP consumable towards calls and texts, can get the unit at only 200 PHP (from 250 PHP) a month for 24 months on top of their monthly bill. Trust me, this is better value for money than the compatible plan of the competitor.
Second, unlike the competitor, Globe Postpaid offers the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 at only 24 months lock-in period. Why go for a competitor’s plan that will tie you for six months more than the usual at 30 months?
Lastly, Globe Postpaid offers freebies to its subscribers. These call and text freebies that can be customized monthly give the plans an even greater advantage in terms of value.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is available for free starting at Plan 2499. But for lower plans, it’s available with a cash out. As mentioned, for UnliSurf Plans 999 and 1799, the cash out may be paid monthly at zero percent interest for 24 months. Below is Globe Postpaid’s pricing scheme:

Globe PowerSurf: Make Your Own Rules!
When I’m out, in school or on the road, I can’t survive minutes without tinkering with my phone—for Twitter, Facebook, and mails. And I bet I’m not the only one; we all feel totally disconnected by not being online for some time.
Getting a data plan can be a detriment for us students, given our financial capability (read: allowance), so it’s good news that Globe Telecom came up with more PowerSurf data plans that can fit our weekly or even monthly budget.
With their improved Powersurf, Globe now has affordable MB-based plans that can last for up to a month. Well, I myself have no idea how much data in megabytes a tweet, a status update, or an email would use, hence these infographics that Globe sent me this morning would be very helpful.
.
Check out the different PowerSurf data plans for both postpaid and prepaid at surf.globe.com.ph. You can also dial *143# from any Globe mobile phone to subscribe.

Closing 2011 with Heaps of Thanks
1. First off, I would like to thank and credit Nina Fuentes of Just Wandering, as her blog was the inspiration for my travel blog. The Lost Boy wouldn’t have been born without a concept. Nina, whom I also consider my mentor and idol, connected me to the Pinoy Travel Bloggers group, which enabled me to share my ideas with my travel blogging idols.
2. I’d like to thank all my blogger communities that I would not mention anymore in the fear of inadvertently missing one. You guys made me familiarized more with blogging and had me avoid or quell some of the birthing pains of starting a first blog. I hope we bloggers would incessantly support each other and our community.
3. To all the bloggers I’ve met this year, I am glad to have met and connected with you both in real life and online. Thank goodness, a lot of you guys are warm and approachable. I look forward to meeting new blogger friends in the future.
4. Let me take this chance to also thank some bloggers in particular who have nominated me in the 2011 Emerging Influential Blogs. I may have not won the popular vote, but your support made me feel that I have made a difference, even if a little, in the blogosphere.
5. Speaking of accolades, thank you so much to the judges and organizers of the Philippine Blog Awards for adjudging me as a finalist in the Best Travel Blog Award for Luzon. The recognition inspires me to continue on to travel and to write.
6. I’d like to extend my deepest appreciation to the brands, companies, PR firms, and marketing people for believing in my blog. If it weren’t for you guys, my blog would be less exciting. Your support brought me to places and made things possible.
7. My blogging has sparked opportunities for me to write for print. I’d like to thank the awesome people of Travel Plus Magazine and FAME Publishing for running my articles.
8. To my friends from everywhere, both old and new, thanks for welcoming me and going out of their ways to meet with me when I travel. You guys are proof that there is goodness in the world.
9. I’d also like to thank the random people I met on the road—from habal-habal drivers to strangers I’ve asked directions from. I appreciate your random acts of kindness no matter how minute they are, and you inspire me to pass the kindness around.
10. Thanks to my loved ones and close friends who have stuck with me and supported me in this endeavor. I’d like to also apologize if my blogging has inconvenienced you.
11. Dear friends, readers, and social media followers, you fuel The Lost Boy. Your continued readership makes me extremely happy, and I am grateful, as a blogger and writer, to have an audience despite how few. I hope you ride it out with me in the years to come.
12. To God, who has showered me with an abundance of blessings and opportunities, I have forgotten You at times, but I am eternally grateful. Thank You for blessing me with this blog.
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes. How do you measure, measure a year?
In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee? In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife?
How do you measure a year in the life? How about love?-Seasons of Love
Here’s to a rockin’ 2012, everyone! Cheers!

Indulge and Unwind with Globe Tattoo
We were invited by Globe to a small, informal gathering at Bo’s Coffee in Glorietta 5 to know about their newest exciting partnership with Bo’s Coffee, The Lighthouse Marina Resort Subic, and Citi Mobile: The Globe Tattoo Indulge and Unwind.
First, the indulge part: With a purchase of a Globe Tattoo Stick (995 PHP) or a MyFi Prepaid Kit (1245 PHP) at the Globe Online Shop, you will instantly get to indulge in treats from Bo’s Coffee: a White Chocolate Mocha Grande and Cookie for the Gods; Blueberry Cheesecake and Short Brewed Coffee; or a pasta or a sandwich.
Yes, you will get free delicious goodies from Bo’s Coffee, a homegrown coffee shop from Cebu that I go to whenever I am there. They actually have some stores here in Manila and elsewhere in the country too!
So here’s the unwind part: With every minimum 100 PHP reload onto your new Tattoo Stick or MyFi Prepaid Kit, you get an electronic raffle entry to unwind through a 3D/2N stay at the luxurious The Lighthouse Marina Resort Subic with massage for two. Citi Mobile get an extra entry.
I haven’t been to that portion of Subic, but when I got home, I searched where it was. As it turns out, The Lighthouse Marina Subic is a beautiful boutique hotel. Goodness, I wanna be there!
This Christmas, give yourself (or someone else) a Globe Tattoo Broadband Stick or a MyFi Prepaid Kit, so you could indulge and unwind!

The #1 in Postpaid, Globe Telecom, Launches the iPhone 4S
So I went to the exciting Globe iPhone 4S launch party at the Ayala Museum, and no other than Kaskade did the electrifying set!
And Globe made trending topics too! Kaskade was among Twitter’s trending topics with their anticipated return here in the Philippines—at the Ayala Museum and at Republiq for the Globe Tattoo iPhone 4S Launch. But more importantly, #globeiphone4s not only trended but even surpassed the trending topic of the competitor!
Globe also received the best endorsement when none other than President Noynoy Aquino, a Globe subscriber, received his iPhone 4S as a loyalty reward, making him the first one to own the Globe iPhone 4S!
The following morning, I went to the InterContinental Manila to hear from Globe’s CEO Ernest Cu and their Senior Adviser for Consumer Business Peter Bithos about the Globe iPhone 4S and their exciting, value-for-money plans.
We were told that the Globe iPhone 4S can be availed for free or with cash out across all plans from Plan 299! Plus, all iPhone plans have unlimited data, so there wouldn’t be fears of bill shock. This is aside from the fact that data across all plans, even on regular ones, are capped at 999 PHP.
Those getting an iPhone 4S also get a 20% discount voucher towards an iPhone 4S case until December 31. This is aside from the free rewards apps that are offered exclusively to Globe iPhone 4S owners.
Here are the OFFICIAL Globe iPhone 4S plans and pricing:
And this is how Globe goes against the competitor:
So get the iPhone 4S from the #1 in postpaid and the first 4G network in the Philippines! Get it from the people who have four years experience with the iPhone!
Get the Globe iPhone 4S from Globe stores nationwide, the customer sales hotline +63 2 730 1010, or online via www.globe.com.ph.

Travel Is Something Exciting… And So Is Globe’s Blackberry Christmas Promo
Whenever I step into an airport, my heart drops. Yes, I still feel butterflies fluttering in my stomach whenever I travel.
It brings me back to the first time I traveled in 2009. I was 18, young, teenaged, and restless, and I was to embark on my first solo journey to Cebu. When I heard my boarding call, I stood up and felt those butterflies—the ones I still feel up until now.
Whenever I’m in some new place, I try to be adventurous as much as I could. I make sure I try the food I’ve never tasted, the exhilirating modes of transportation, and the best of attractions. I’ve made my trips so exciting that travel to me is like an addiction that needs rehab.
Aside from being able to support my mobile needs wherever I am in the Philippines or abroad, I go for a telecom that is exciting—with its services and its offers. I’ve been with Globe since I was in fourth grade, and up until now it doesn’t fail to excite me. They come up with so many innovations and exciting value-for-money offers that I sometimes can’t keep up!
Let me talk to you about Globe’s BlackBerry Christmas Promo. For as low only 599PHP a month, you get a BlackBerry Curve 8520 with unlimited mobile surfing! Plus, for 999 PHP, you get a BlackBerry Curve 3G 9300 with unlimited mobile surfing, 400 PHP consumable amount, and one freebie!
There are two more handsets available, the BlackBerry Curve 9360 free at UnliSurf Combo Plan 1799 with 1200 PHP consumable amount and three freebies and the BlackBerry Bold 9780 free at UnliSurf Combo Plan 2499 with 1900 PHP consumable amount and five freebies.
Freebies include ten minutes calls and 200 SMS to Globe/TM; five minutes calls and 25 SMS to other networks; 20 minutes IDD and ten ISMS to ten international destinations; and unlimited calls and texts to one Globe/TM number. The consumable amount meanwhile can be used towards any Globe postpaid service, thus giving subscribers the flexibility they need.
Choose what BlackBerry handset and plan is right for you below:
A BlackBerry is fast becoming the phone of choice of a lot of Filipinos, and I’m excited to bring one once more on my travels here and abroad with Globe Telecom, of course. You should consider getting one too only from the #1 in postpaid and the leader in mobile internet!

Our Friends from Mindanao Need Our Help!
Typhoon Sendong has displaced so many families and has left so many casualties from Mindanao. Badly hit were the cities of Cagayan de Oro and Iligan.
They need our help. You could extend your aid by the following:
1. Iligan Bloggers Society is holding a “One for Iligan” donation drive through Paypal. Donate any amount (even a dollar is well appreciated) through this link: http://bit.ly/unX71B. Alternatively, DSWD and TV stations are also accepting donations. Help them if you are able.
Update: Globe Telecom through Xavier University’s E-Ugnay Hub is already packing relief goods. You may also bring/send your donations in cash or in kind (clean drinking water most especially) to Xavier University, Cagayan de Oro.
2. Make #Sendong trending on Twitter, so the international community and fellow Filipinos would be alerted of its severity. Please include a link to the donation link above, http://bit.ly/unX71B if you could.
3. Reblog this post on Tumblr.
4. They need our prayers. Nothing beats the power of prayers.
Mindanao was shell-shocked by this tragedy, as it is unusual for them to have a typhoon of this magnitude. In the spirit of giving, let us help our friends in Mindanao.
Go ask me anything from travel, love, lifestyle, skincare, or anything actually! I will feature your question on my blog! :)
