June 6, 2014

Last week, we got a chance to experience how is it to be like in Teletech. Teletech has 15 sites across the Philippines and has over 25,000 employees working in a cheerful and friendly environment which helps making new friends at Teletech.

We had an experiential tour at Teletech Pioneer Career Hub. The place was cozy and the people there were very friendly. I can feel that if I work there, I would really feel at home.

Teletech is aiming to bring your work closer to you, with 15 sites across the Philippines, which means you can spend more time with your personal activities. Teletech also offers programs to help you empower your skills. And did you know that some of these programs would be offered for free in Teletech? And another thing, some programs offered for free in Teletech would cost you a lot.

In Teletech, there are engagement activities that’ll promote camaraderie among employees. Some of these activities are TeleTech Awards night, Summer outing, Birthday event, Firedrill, Run N Sync Fun Run and Be the Picture of Good Health contest organized by TeleTech for its employees.

It’s really nice to work in a place where your employer understands what you want and need. In TeleTech, not only do they bring you a job that you’ll love but they are also bringing you closer to the best version of yourself.

Looks like Microsoft is fighting back against Android with their own Toshiba Encore tablets. The new Toshiba Encore Windows tablets that was revealed recently has a starting price of $200 (Php8,800) and $270(PhP12,000) for the 8″ and 10″ respectively. Both will be powered by a Quad-Core Intel Atom processor and will have a 1280×800 display.

Both devices would also house a 32 GB internal storage,a MicroSD card slot and unfortunately, the RAM has been down to 1GB. Both tablets come with one year of Office 365 personal for free and support Toshiba’s Wireless Display technology for mirroring the tablet’s display to a larger screen.

I’m not sure if these devices would be release here in the Philippines though but it’s nice to see Windows tablets going down at this price

Yesterday, I was walking around a mall and I stumble upon a CD-R King shop and I saw a solar panel. And yes, it’s not that solar panel that can only charge your phone but this is a solar panel that could power up most of your appliances.

A single panel might not power up your whole house but it’s a good way of reducing your electricity bill. ABS-CBN has featured these solar panels and according to them, you’ll need P15,230 for a set of solar generator. I’m not expert when it comes to solar panels but it will probably took you a lot of solar panels before you can fully power up your house.

Just like its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy S4, the Samsung Galaxy S5 Active would have physical buttons instead of capacitive. It will also have an Active key in where you can use it as shortcut to Activity zone app which will give you barometer reading and compass direction.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 Active is also rumored to have an OIS in its camera and a larger 5.2″ display but with the same resolution. The Samsung Galaxy S5 Active is expected to have the same Snapdragon 801 processor, 2 GB RAM, 16 GB storage and 16 Megapixel Camera.

Tech21 Impact Shell & Impact Tactical for Galaxy S5 Review

Whenever we buy a smartphone, the first thing that we look for is a case for our smartphones. Yeah, we always look for cases to protect our devices from scratches, dents, and cracks. When it comes to cases, I always trust Tech21. Not only that they’re stylish but Tech21 also gives protection thanks to its D3O technology. Here’s a short video on how D3O technology protect your device.

I have two Tech21 cases for my Samsung Galaxy S5 but the Tech21 Impact Tactical is my favorite one. I really love the matte design on the Tech21 Impact Tactical. The texture feels good and the case isn’t really thick that’s why it feels good not only in the pocket but also in the hand whenever I’m typing in one hand.

The Tech21 Impact Tactical features a matte finish and an embossed line on the back, which makes the case less dull and more premium. All of the buttons click well and sockets weren’t blocked. Those are the two things that I really look at when buying a case.

The other case that I got is Tech21 Impact Shell. Compared to the Impact Tactical, the Impact Shell has a glossy and smooth finish and it doesn’t have an embossed line at the back. I also noticed that I have more grip on the Impact shell compared to the Impact Tactical.

The Tech21 Impact Shell and Impact Tactical for Samsung Galaxy S5 are now available at Digital Walker for P1,250. Do I recommend it? Yes. I love it. Get it now for your Samsung Galaxy S5.
