Convert to BDO installment payment

I will be visiting my sister in California for the following days.  As we all know, Apple products sell a lot cheaper there than in the Philippines.  Also, in Manila, we are fond of installment payment terms and I thought of this when I want to buy macbook air.  As per checking with BDO customer service, told me that there are things that are not allowed to be converted and these are the following.

Grocery Purchases
Gasoline Purchases
Drug Stores

 Also, BDO calls this service as Easy Convert/Easy Pay.

How to know your monthly due if you wish to push through.

Purchase rate * Factor Rate = Monthly Due

Term Add-on Rates Factor Rate
3 1.50% 0.3483375
6 1.50% 0.1816714
12 1.30% 0.0963348
18 1.50% 0.0705592
24 1.50% 0.0566671

Price comparison in Glorietta

Traveling for 10hrs or more is no joke specially if you are like touring.  Today, our gadgets need to be fully charged and since I only have an iPhone, we all know that the battery life can't last that long so I decided to buy a powerbank which I think will not only benefit my phone but for my go pro camera as well.

So, I roamed around Glorieta and looked for best the best deal.  I would like to share with you the prices I gathered around the mall specifically in 3F Glorietta 2, Makati City.  By the way, my budget is less than PHP2,000.

Digital Walker, 5200mah, PHP1950
Landmark, 5000mah, PHP1450
Clipper, 7800mah, PHP1000
Compex (Ronda), 11000mah, PHP950
Electroworld, 7800mah, PHP2000
Adi, 9000mah, PHP1800

I decided to buy the cheapest and it is Compex (Ronda), as I was testing the device, the salesman was telling me that charging time would be 10hrs-12hrs.

Enjoy shopping! :)

Things I miss in Samsung Note 2

Recently transferred back to being an Iphone user.  I do feel great alright but there are somethings that I missed in Samsung Note 2 and these are the following.

1.  The pen.  Pulling out the pen makes it easier for me to jot down notes specially when I am comparing prices when I am in the mall.  Another thing is when I am getting another person's number.  I don't need to ask him/her to wait for me to open either my contacts or dial page.

2. Automatic convert.  I can copy any movie files to Note 2.  It will automatically convert the file so that you can watch it on my phone.

3.  Mp3 ringtones.  No restrictions if you wish to set your mp3s to ringtones.
