Travelling with Children

You can never be too careless while travelling, especially with your little children in tow. With your kids around, you always have to be on your guard and on your toes tailing them to be sure they will not be wondering off in a crowded place. Accidents happen in the most unaccepted places and you always have to be on the ready even while enjoying the Boston Bruins Tickets.

Concert and Movie Tickets: Where to buy them

Yes! You obviously know of the ticket booths and ticket outlets. However, if you want it cheap or discounted, chances are, you may have no idea where to buy them. Cheap tickets are now widely available. If you are a big fan of a certain artist like Taylor Swift, you can easily purchase Taylor Swift Tickets online at a discounted price doing some simple steps below.

The first thing that you can do is to visit ticket sellers online. Simply key-in your favorite band or artist in the search box i.e. Zac Brown Band and you will be given a Zac Brown Band Tickets link. These ticket sellers online made purchasing tickets easy and comfortable.

If you are not familiar with online ticket sellers, you can try doing a search. If for instance you want cheap Elton John Tickets, simply visit Google and type Elton John ticket, and you surely will get amazed of the search result.

Other than buying online, you can still buy tickets from a brick and mortar ticket outlet but have to purchase it in bulk to get some discount. Whether you are buying a concert ticket like Dane Cook Tickets or a movie ticket like Spiderman Turn off the Dark Tickets you can easily get a discount if purchased in bulk.

Why I'm Wary of Hospitals

I'm usually wary of hospital because I don't like the smell. It smells so sanitized and too clean.  Here's what I don't like about hospitals

• I'm wary of  sleeping in the hospital bed because I keep thinking how many people died in this bed.
• The scrubs uniform specially the color needs to change. Make it more vibrant..
• The medical technologists who wear lab coat really need to have better bedside manners
• The hospital bills is a very great example.. It's like a taxi meter that wouldn't stop.
• Hospital food is improving but the presentation needs to be updated
• The  scrub uniforms of the nurses in pediatric departments needs to be kiddie friendly.
• There is certainly a level of discomfort associated with any medical procedures however the hospitals should make a concerted effort to eliminate stress in the hospital environment.

The only way to make people feel more comfortable is to have more professionals able to help and alleviate stress in whatever way is determined to be most beneficial. I know first-hand now that the stress associated with illness is one of the worst parts of the experience and it should be addressed first.

Meet with Aga

Meeting with Aga Muhlach was definitely the highlight of my December. Everyone I know has always been a fan. Good thing that the event was private so there was no need for Crowd Control . There were barricades at the gate and the organizers were really strict when it came to the guest list.

We watched and enjoyed the show and the mascots can really dance. Better than me if I could say so myself. Dancing is not easy and wearing a mascot's costume makes the job so much harder.

Jillian Ward is a really cute child star but she can't sing. I don't understand why her mom would let her sing. Sure she can get away with that now but when she turns 10 I don't think so. She should be starting her musical lessons by now if her parents want her last longer in Showbiz. She can dance but definitely needs a lot of improvement when it comes to singing. If she doesn't improve her singing voice I doubt that i'll be seeing her behind the stanchions and the velvet rope.

SM Online Reservation

SM Cinema launches new website with online movie reservation and ticket purchasing
Now, all the convenience is online to save you from lines, waiting and seats reservation with the new SM Cinema website. The announcement of the online movie reservation and ticket purchasing at the website was launched last November 17.

In partnership with ECOM and with Globe, SM Cinema is the first to introduce mobile ticketing compatible to any type of phones. All pinoys just simply need to register to GCash if they have no Visa or Mastercard credit card to purchase their movie tickets. This is made possible by using a simple text message which contains a code called "bCODE".

Unlike other payment and ticketing services that require picture messages (such as a 2D barcode), data plans, special chipsets (like NFC), or mobile-app downloads with expensive smartphone devices, the bCODE-powered service is compatible with all mobile phones and consumer demographics.

Through this partnership with SM Cinema, bCODE will provide a network of its innovative, interactive 3G-enabled scanning terminals across all SM Cinemas in the Philippines. The first phase will feature both mobile-payment on the website and mobile-ticketing services in the cinemas.

bCODE’s unique, globally patented technology uses point-of-sale scanning terminals to securely read and authenticate plain-text, SMS-based encrypted codes from the display screens of mobile handsets. This allows consumers to access a variety of loyalty, ticketing, and payment services from existing platforms.

Mobile commerce via plain-text SMS means that anyone with a mobile device can instantly benefit. BCODE’s technology is compatible with more than 2,000 mobile-phone models and more than 4 billion existing devices globally.

Leading IT-services provider e-Commerce Asia Ltd. (ECOM) with offices in Shanghai, Hong Kong and the Philippines will integrate, implement, and support this redemption network, which will provide SM Cinemas with advanced mobile-commerce services such as payment, ticketing and loyalty marketing.
