PHOTO DUMP #1 - GOLDEN HALF CAMERA

I had my first film from my Golden Half camera developed today.

Quick info: The Golden Half camera takes 35mm film and transforms each frame into 2 individual standard vertical format photos - one right next to the other. In short, it doubles the amount of photos you can take with your roll of film. (more HERE)

Here's some from the first batch (taken with a Holga 12MFC Electronic Flash with built-in color filters):

WHAT'S NEW: YAMAMAY OPENS ITS SECOND STORE IN GLORIETTA

Have you ever had your mom tell you to "wear clean underwear in case you get into an accident" at one point in your life?

I know it's sad to think that your own mother cares more about your underwear reputation rather than the possibility of you losing a leg or an arm but hey, maybe mom was thinking of a different kind of "accident" here (not the morbid ones of course!).

Maybe mom was thinking of you accidentally "exposing" yourself to everyone at the school assembly because you're too cool to wear a belt with your baggy pants or the risk of you being challenged to a night of "strip poker" when all you ever knew with cards was to build house with it.

Maybe Yamamay was thinking of the same things when they came up with their collection of underwear for men!

Why be embarrassed when you can turn life's little accidents (refer to mom's thoughts) fun with these cool and sometimes naughty underwear?

Believe me, I'd rather be called "The Big One" rather than be nicknamed "The Baconator."

MOBILE BROWSING - THE FASTEST GROWING PRODUCT LINE IN GLOBE

In light of the increasing smartphone penetration in the country and growing popularity of internet access via the mobile phone, Globe Telecom looks at its mobile browsing business to bolster business growth and sustain momentum amidst an increasingly competitive and mature mobile market.

According to Globe President and CEO Ernest Cu, the company's mobile browsing segment became the fastest-growing product line in Globe in the first quarter of 2013 with a robust double-digit growth in revenues year-on-year, outpacing the already phenomenal revenue growth of its postpaid and broadband business. Mobile browsing and other data revenues now account for 13% of total mobile revenues, up from 12% in 4Q12 and 10% in 1Q12.

Responding to the growing demand for instant access to social networking accounts on  mobile, Globe beefed up its mobile browsing plans SuperFB for prepaid subscribers and AstigFB for T M subscribers by offering longer denomination variants at a much affordable price. For only P15, Globe prepaid and T M subscribers can now enjoy unlimited access to Facebook on mobile for 2 days. The 1-day variant is available for Php10.
