It's been almost 2 years since I made the bold shift to FujifilmFrom the post I wrote during the shift,  you could probably sense my hesitation and uncertainty.  A few months after that, little sister bought the newer model Fujifilm X-A2.  We went to Fujifilm Photowalks together with Fujifilm Brand Ambassador Rommel Bundalian and we fell in love with photography.  To exercise and push our skills, we began offering photo and video coverage at Picsis Photo Video.  I now do photography almost everyday and upload my input in instagram @tsinoyfoodies which has grown to 3,500 from less than a thousand before I made the shift.  Many of my blogger and photographer friends have made the shift too. And if you haven't, I bring you these temptations that will.

UniQube PH: Unique Items in Every Cube (University Mall Taft Avenue Manila)

| Read more...
In a life that seems like a never ending cycle, how do you keep on moving on and aiming higher?  For me,  the answer is the simple process of working hard and rewarding myself for every milestone.  As a student, I used to reward myself with a tall cup of Mocha Frappucino from Starbucks.  I use my break time for that satisfactory session of reading and sipping.  But recently, I've upgraded from the short-term pleasures of a luxurious cup of coffee into long-term trophies in the form of useful items as I've discovered an interesting cool store named UniQube PH at the third floor of the University Mall along Taft Avenue (beside De La Salle University Manila).

uniqube ph
As the name implies, there are different cubes or boxes carrying various merchandise.  Trust me, you'll find new stuff there in every visit.  And, that's what makes it exciting and fun.

uniqube ph
As I've noticed, I'm not the only one who has become hooked in checking it out every once in a while when I have the time.  I've come to realize that the same amount I'm spending for a cup of coffee which only gratifies me for an hour or so can be saved and spent for things that can give me or others joy for a longer period.

uniqube ph
While I was there, I can't help but already think ahead for gift items for myself and for people I know...

For the techie
uniqube ph
Macbook Case and Accessories, Mix Tape Mp3 Player, Stillet, Character Power Banks and Other Electronics
For the sporty

My frequent visits has made me a fan of the concept.  I couldn't resist seizing the opportunity to earn so I also applied as a merchant for a box.  The process is really fast and easy.  It's no wonder there are many students like me who apply as merchants.  As soon as I chose my desired box, I just filled out a form, signed my contract, paid a minimal advance monthly rental and then I displayed my items on the very same day.  If you're interested, just click here.

To be honest, I'm not much of a pen artist as I'm more into photography.  But, attending this event has opened my mind to what I can do with a simple pen and paper.
