Style Scene: Globe GCASH launches ATM Card

(L-R) Rizza, Don, Richie, Paolo, and Joanne - all from GXI showing off the latest ATM Card to flash in town

At Conti's Greenbelt 2, a new breed of ATM cards was launched by the creative minds behind Globe. GCASH ATM Cards can be styled anyway you like, it can have a photo of you, your favorite pair of shoes, or even your favorite chihuahua.

Here's me trying to decide which photo to choose

You actually have two opportunities to put two pictures on, front and back of your GCASH ATM card. I had my son's photo in front and one 1x1 photo of myself at the back. I could be more creative but I think I want my family picture anywhere I go, hence the GCASH ATM.

I wrote about how to apply for a GCASH ATM Card online here.

I can't wait for my GCASH ATM card to be delivered! I actually want to apply for two so I have more personalized ATM cards.

Style Scene: Globe x Blackberry at The Republiq

Whew! I just got home from a BBM party at the Republiq. It was being hosted by Globe and if you don't know what BBM is it stands for Blackberry Mobile. Apparently, more and more people are using Blackberry here in Manila and this party is dedicated to them.


Blackberry Icons for Globe - Cris, Phil Younghusband, and Bea Soriano

Globe also launches new plans so everyone else (including me who doesn't have a Blackberry YET) can grab hold of a BB and start BBM'ing. For as low as Php 1,799 a month, Globe users can avail of a FREE Blackberry Curve in white, red, or black. That's so tempting just like Phil!

The three Icons were there to explain how much they love their Blackberries and how they can work and play with it.

After a brief meeting, everyone went on to party with the rest of Blackberry users. I didn't even know they already have a Facebook page.


Party people

This is not a normal phonebooth - Globe's Webphone at Trinoma

I was walking at Trinoma and noticed this new phonebooth webphone.



That screen just screams hightech, I wanted to try but was in a super hurry. Anyway, this booth allows you to surf the Internet, text, call, record a video, etc.

Globe deployed its first Web payphone at TriNoma in Quezon City as it is currently testing this service for the local market. But I hope to see lots of these e-stops soon! According to my friend from Globe, soon these E-Stops would allow bills payments and other services :)

Style Scene: Globe Tattoo's YOUniverse

The party scene inside Globe Tattoo's Micro YOUniverse

At the Market Market, Globe Tattoo simulated a micro-universe inhabited by four cool looking models. By using Globe Tattoo, everyone could command the models to do anything (anything except nasty)! Simply it showed how one can easily send SMS via laptops using the Globe Tattoo Kit aka the USB modem.


Menxhie and Vanie

Especially now when you load Php 30, you get unlimited texts for the day. I've tried this and it is amazing how you can send and receive texts from friends both via your notebook or mobile phone.

Trying out the Globe Micro YOUniverse were Globe's head honchos, bloggers, and members of the press.

The activity area also featured tech and gaming booths showcasing the latest games and mobile phones. Including the new Modu phone and the new Modu jackets.



Stay tuned for the next Globe event coming your way :)

Modu and The City : First Look and Review of the Modu Phone

Whitney Port of The City is in my Modu!

The Modu phone was just launched by Globe and now it's time to unwrap and unbox it!



Modu Terminal - can be fitted to any jacket depending on your trip

The Modu phone box comes with the charger, usb cable, and headphones. The USB Cable can be used to charge your Modu while you are using your laptop or computer and to transfer files such as music, photos, and videos to the Modu. The Modu phone is easily detected as a USB device, much like a USB stick.


Modu Folders - drag and drop your media files here

One of the best first things to do with a Modu is to connect it to your computer and load it with your media files. Just so you have more interesting stuff to show when people get curious about your tiny phone. The Modu comes with a PC suite but I find it unnecessary to install, especially when it requires a Microsoft .Net Framework. Again, simply have your Modu detected as a USB device and just drag media items onto the folders.

You can transfer media files with or without a Modu Jacket. When you buy your Modu Phone exclusively from Globe, you automatically get a free Modu Jacket. Without a jacket, your modu terminal can only make calls.



I had a little trouble figuring out how to insert my Globe Tattoo SIM. Use your fingernails or any pointed objects to lift and pull the rubber flap. Aside from that, everything went well.

Modu Teaser Advertisement: Must See!



Watch the video above to understand how your Modu phone can transform into more high technology gadgets that will change your lifestyle. With more jackets you can optimize the Modu phone like how it was destined to be by its creators. Grab your Modu phone now for only Php 7,999 with a free Tattoo Prepaid Kit exclusively from Globe :)

Modu and Jackets:

Modu phones are one of the simplest yet most innovative mobile phones you can ever get. It comes with different jackets for different use like the sports skin that you can attach to your arm while running so you can both enjoy music and be connected while doing your physical activities.


Me and my Modu

I am sure to run one of these days with this cool Modu, it also comes with an Immortal Txt SIM card that will never expire. More about the Modu phone soon!
