Samsung Unveils Innovative Devices at the Pahiyas Festival 2010

Posted on the June 2nd, 2010 under Electronics, Gadgets, Photography, Technology, Travel by AJ of Baklaako.com

Samsung recently launched their newest innovative devices to lead the digital imaging evolution during the Pahiyas Festival.

I got the chance to try out two of their products – the SMX-C20 Digital Camcorder and the ST550 Digital Camera. The festive colors and fantbulous designs of the houses in Lucban, Quezon were easy to catch using the SMX C20 camcorder (for the videos) and the ST550 (for the photos).

I have to admit though that I really wanted to try out their other products (specially the NX10 – a next generation camera), but they only had three units during the event. Then again, there’s always a next time, right?

The Pahiyas Festival at Lucban was the perfect place not only to eat free food, but also to appreciate a Filipino tradition. You cannot go to Pahiyas and not take photos and videos, becuase trust me, you would definitely want to capture priceless moments. These memories are best saved not only in your mind and heart but also in the memory cards of your digital imaging gadgets!

Samsung Electronics Phils Corp (SEPCO) made that possible for me and other bloggers as they unveiled their latest line-up of cameras and camcorders which are designed to meet the consumers’meed for high quality digital imaging and easy photo management. One of the good things I appreciate about Samsung is that they have the consumers’ needs in mind when they develop new products. They focus on enhancing usability with technology advancements that help the consumer take and manage photos better.  And all these while improving sharing and connectivity features.

Here are some of the latest innovative products they launched:

Alta Vista de Boracay

Posted on the May 28th, 2010 under Beach, Party, Travel by AJ of Baklaako.com

Whenever I hear the word Boracay, only two things come to mind: beautiful beach and partying! I have been to Boracay so many times that lately, all I could think of whenever someone says Boracay is the partying. Don’t get me wrong, I still love the fine white sand and the crystal clear waters that the island has to offer. I knew that aside from the very lively party scene at night, there were other things that one can do while in Boracay.

If you want to get away from it all, from the hustle and bustle of the metro, White Beach in Boracay is definitely not the place to do it. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy some peace and quiet and “me” time while you’re on the island. You can still get away from it all, thanks to this relatively new place called Alta Vista de Boracay.

Krabi Crabs and Ko Phi Phi Fun!

Posted on the May 18th, 2010 under Food, Travel by AJ of Baklaako.com

Our third day in Amazing Thailand was, I believe, the longest ever. And it was the most awesome too!

We checked out of the Rembrandt Hotel and Towers at around 7:30 AM and headed to Suvarnabhumi International Airport. Our flight from Bangkok to Krabi, one of Thailand’s southern provinces, was scheduled at 10:40 AM so we had to be at the airport before 9:00 AM. We arrived at the airport earlier than expected so we had about an hour and a half to spare. I love Suvarnabhumi!
