BYAHILO introduces the newest DiscOVIries in town!

Oftentimes we hear the cliche “A picture paints a thousand words.” And as travel blogger I always make it a point to include photos in my travel posts so that my readers would get a clearer picture of what I had experienced.

It is pointless to tell your readers how grandiose The Ruins in Talisay is, or how colorful the Masskara Festival in Bacolod. My readers would probably have a hard time figuring out how graceful the dance steps in Sinulog Festival of how serene and peaceful it is in the Chapel of the Trasfiguration in Bukidnon.

My foreign readers would even have a much harder time in imagining what a “danggit” is. I myself would probably have a problem in differentiating it from an ordinary dried fish.

But Lo and Behold! BYAHILO has finally discovered the Nokia OVI. It is a nice app which allows you to share your photos and videos. But that’s not all! OVI has also a nice little feature (which I really find useful) which can synch your mobile phone contacts. So no big worries when switching from one phone to another.

OVI also has other great features like the Calendar. OviMail, Nokia Store and the Nokia Music.

Check out my BYAHILO Nokia OVI profile here. I also suggest that you try to sign up for your OVI account. explore the endless possiblities with Nokia OVI.

And watch out, as I will be having a big announcement, VERY BIG ANNOUNCEMENT regarding this cool product very very soon! I’m sure you’ll love the upcoming announcement. bwahah

In the meantime, enjoy the Nokia Vira ad that has recently been released. Look who’s there!

Singapore Tourism Board inrtoduces PinoyLah: The Filipino guide to Singapore

The reasons to visit Singapore get even better with PinoyLah , the new feature-packed website that showcases the many marvels that make Singapore the ideal lifestyle haven for the Filipino jet-set.

The Singapore Tourism Board-Philippines (STB-P), the dynamic force behind Singapore’s bustling tourist scene, is launching its first interactive website for Filipinos this September. To kick off the launch, STB-P gathered members of the local media to a website preview and food fest featuring the best of authentic Singapore cuisine in an event entitled “Living Lah Online!” at the Makansutra Asian Food Village, Manila Ocean Park.

Mall-goers and young urbanites will also be able to explore Singapore the Filipino way through hands-on navigation of the website, take home exciting giveaways and raffle prizes, and join fun activities that showcase the numerous wonders of Singapore during the day-long consumer launch at The Podium on September 20.

The website hosts an enviable lineup of features that are set to bolster Singapore’s image as an exciting destination and entrench its position as the top retreat for Filipino travelers. It also offers engaging casual content, personal tips from other Filipinos, links to other Pinoy blogs, and fresh Pinoy insights into the various leisure attractions and hotspots that show the undeniable ‘Filipino’ side of Singapore. The user experience is further enhanced with a website design that reflects the graphic Filipino lifestyle.

Some of the website’s sections include ‘Gimik Guides’ that direct visitors to the Lion City’s top party destinations and offer updated schedules of the biggest happenings in the metro. The website has a nifty ‘Travel Tayo’ page that provides tips on how to travel smart in Singapore, and ‘Hot Deals’ that introduces the latest promos and online tilts with amazing prizes up for grabs. The website also treats Filipinos to special previews of up-and-coming Singapore events, like this year’s exhilarating FORMULA OneTM SingTel Singapore Grand Prix.

Pinoylah is meant to express Pinoy pride with a Singaporean slant. It draws inspiration from the iconic expression Singaporeans use to spice up sentences, from declaring friendly affirmation with “OK, lah,” or showing strong encouragement with a “Come on, Lah!” Combining fascinating Singapore culture with Filipino dynamism, the website gives Pinoys a taste of the exciting ‘Lah’ culture while hinting that Pinoys have just as much ‘Lah’ in them as Singaporeans.
