El Gamma Penumbra: First Asia's Got Talent Champion

The Filipino group of shadow play performers, El Gamma Penumbra, was hailed as the first ever grand winner of Asia's Got Talent last night (May 14, 2015). The group won the title out of the eight finalists; this includes two other Filipino contestants such as Gerphil Flores, a classical singer from the University of the Philippines who bagged the third place.

The group received a $100,000 cash prize and another performance at the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore.

El Gamma penumbra earned two golden buzzers during their stay in Asia's Got Talent and those buzzers sent them directly to compete in the semi-finals and the finals round. They received the first golden buzzer during their audition and the other one during their semi-final's performance.

The group's first shadow play showcased the different cultures in the world and their semi-final's performance depicted the lives of people who were affected by war (humanity). Their heart-warming final's performance paid tribute to Mother Earth with the "Colors of the Wind" song playing in the background.

We could have expected their win as they received the golden buzzer twice. Their performances were really not just for show but it also calls for awareness and concern to what is happening around us.

Congratulations to El Gamma Penumbra and to Gerphil Flores for boosting the Filipino pride!

No More Internet Settings Needed to Surf in Globe

Globe Telecommunications has announced yesterday that starting May 8, 2015, all prepaid users will be able to use mobile internet without manually configuring their phone's internet settings. Users can automatically go online; no more hassle of setting up their internet configuration. Just register to an internet promo, open your browser and enable data connection in your phone and whala, internet on the go!

They also let their subscribers to manage this automatic internet connection by turning on their FREE SurfAlert. It will put the user's browsing on hold when their device attempts to connect online and they are not registered to a certain surfing promo. This is similar to Smart and Sun's Load Protect which protect the load balance of users from accidental consumption because of sudden enabling of data connection. They will be redirected to a FREE site that informs them that they are not being charge for the internet access and they will be prompted to register to a promo first before connecting to the internet.


I presume this is another precautionary measure of Globe from unwanted internet access of users using apps or programs that bypass their system gain FREE access. This is like a checkpoint to those who are requesting access in their network but are not subscribed to a valid internet promo. This can save Globe's bandwidth demand but I doubt this attempt that it will totally eliminate ALL the "internet squatters". Ika nga nila, laging may butas jan, hanap-hanap lang! Globe can put barriers and set up walls but not a bugproof network.

For more info about SurfAlert, just dial *143# } My Account } Mobile Internet Usage (or directly dial *143*2*3#).

Trick to Prevent Smart LTE Signal Block Due to Heavy Downloading

Smart Communications provides LTE signal to its millions of users but this service comes with a condition that users will not exceed 1.5GB usage per day once subscribe to any of Smart's unlimited internet promos. Otherwise, their LTE (or 4G) signal will be cut off or blocked and they can only continue with their internet access using the 3G signal. Unlimited but with limits?! This is similar to Globe's Fair Usage Policy (FUP) which allow their users to browse, download, upload or stream any internet content using their HSPA+ connection but within the 800MB data limit when registered to any of Globe's unlimited internet promos. So, Smart's is bigger with the limits but there's still a limit. Smart monitors each user's internet data usage and once you reached the limit, your SIM will be blocked from getting the LTE signal (#forever!) and your signal will be downgraded to 3G. This is called throttling but in Smart this will be forever unlike with Globe, you can regain your H+ signal after midnight. You can also use this tutorial on Unblocking Your Smart SIM Blocked Internet Access.

Any internet user will prefer access to LTE signal because it's way faster than 3G and it saves surfing time and provides you as much as many streamed or downloaded files as possible. If your location is already included in the LTE signal coverage, why will you let yourself locked up in the slow 3G signal especially if you are a heavy user? 

block LTE signal, Smart, prevent, always in LTE, jump-in SIM
The trick to prevent your Smart LTE signal from being blocked is to use SmartBro's APN instead of the LTEinternet APN. Then connect and start browsing in the real sense of unlimited data!

New! Unli Internet With Unli Call and Unli AllNet Texts For Less Than PhP10/Day (Smart/TNT)

Requirements:
a. Smart Jump-IN SIM (Student SIM) - can be bought for PhP15-20 from a Telco store. It is an LTE-capable SIM. Register it to any LTE unlimited internet promo from Smart (i.e. LTE 50 (1 day), LTE 299 (7 days) and send to 2200).
b. USB Broadband Stick or Modem (SIM-Capable) or an internet-capable Android phone or tablet - better if it is LTE-capable

Procedure:
1. Insert your Smart Jump-IN SIM to your broadband stick or modem and access your broadband settings or your phone's internet settings. Input the following values:
Profile Name: Smart LTE Lagi (Any name)
APN: smartbro
No proxy and port
Hit Save and make it your default internet profile. If this fails, try setting the APN to Dynamic (Auto) and hit SAVE. If you are still being blocked, use the default Globe APN: http.globe.com.ph.
2. Connect your broadband or your phone to the internet and start browsing, downloading, streaming and uploading the unlimited way!
*LTE signal only works if you are registered to an LTE promo, is using an LTE-capable device and SIM and your area is in the LTE coverage. Otherwise, you will only be enjoying the 3G/H+ signal.

Remove Capping/Throttling of Your Smart SIM
If you are registered to LTE/Unlisurf promos or to the Piso/Dos Unli Internet Per Day promos, somehow you might have experienced that your network speed is always at the minimum. If this happens, try the registrations below to remove the capping/throttling of your SIM. Don't worry, they are FREE of charge. You only have to redo some of the steps in the Piso/Dos Unli Net Per Day.
1. Setup your APN as the one above (APN: smartbro).
2. Send PROTECT ON to 9999 and wait for confirmation that your load is now protected.
3. Send FREE WIKI to 5555 and wait for confirmation.
4. Send POWERAPP OFF to 5555 and wait for confirmation message.
5. Send ROAM OFF to 333 and wait for confirmation.
6. Done. Enjoy the unlimited internet in the real sense of it!

Prevent Capping/Throttling of Surfmax Promos
You might want to check the post on Overcoming the 800MB Bandwidth Limit of Your Subscription
1. Send PROTECT ON to 9999 and wait for confirmation.
2. Register to SURFMAX50/SURFMAXPLUS (send to 9999) and wait for confirmation.
3. Send FREEWIKI to 5555 or to 7577 and wait for confirmation.
4. Done. You can now enjoy the unlimited internet without the worries of being capped or throttled.

I haven't tried this using the SmartBRO SIM because I don't have one and it is more expensive to purchase.

If your SIM Card is already blocked from the LTE signal, your internet will always be in 3G. But you can recover your LTE signal by calling the Smart's Customer Service at *888 or messaging them at their Twitter account (@SMARTCares). You only have to ask them to unblock you from the LTE signal and they will surely do that.

What's With the Ariel 7.50 Memes?

I have been seeing a lot of Ariel memes lately and I don't know why it's so viral. I don't have TV in my current location so I barely watch Philippine TV shows. To show the level of my ignorance, I am not even aware of the Forevermore soap opera! I remember when my friend mentioned that she went to Pureza, I even asked stupid questions like "What's in Pureza?" and she said it's the setting of Forevermore and I answered again, "The movie Forevermore?".

This Ariel sensation is like the new habit of every Filipino nowadays. They will just blurt out "Finally, Ariel happened to me!" anytime they feel like it or when they are in distressful situations and someone will respond with "7.50 na lang". I thought it was from one of Vice Ganda's banat but I was wrong.
Sarah, patatas, meme, ariel, 7.50, swakto, finally
 Remember the "Sarah magbalat na lang tayo ng patatas" memes? That too, I don't know why it suddenly become a hit to Facebook users. I even checked if Sarah Ang Munting Prinsesa is being aired again in TV. But no, someone just revived it out of interest with memes. Hahaha.

Back to this Ariel commercial, it got me intrigued. Fortunately I still have access to the outside world, The internet happened to me! I went to Youtube and searched for Ariel commercial 7.50 and besides the original commercial, there are other user-created spoofs along with the search results. I even saw Elsa's version of the "Finally, Ariel happened to me!" and the bekis' version of the skit. I also saw a video that depicts the remarkable power of Ariel to transform a person from an ugly one to hotness and gorgeous one just by drinking the powder. And those other memes of mixing Ariel with milktea if you want to poison someone and the Ariel powder being used as cooking mix especially when your day is full of activities.

I can say that the jingle in this commercial will win the LSS trophy! It will surely continue to play in your head after watching it thrice, what more in viewing it everyday on TV. No doubt, the Filipinos are making it part of their culture. The jingle is from the original song, Finally by Ceci Penistons.

Indeed, the 7.50-peso price it boasts for their Swakto pack is a big improvement to our budget. Ariel detergent powder is known to have a bit higher selling price compared to their rivals in the market. Now that with your 20 pesos, you can buy two Ariel sachets even if it is priced at 8.50 from your suking tindahan!
