It feels so good to be back home after our 8 days vacation, last March 9- 17, 2011. I never knew about SMART Bro’s Broadbandest Blowout Blogger Contest, thus far, today when I checked my mail.
Cropped print screen from my yahoomail |
It's my misapprehension since out of my enthusiasm for our vacation I overlooked Nuffnang web page.
Good thing, I received this notice today on my mail. Thank you NUFFNANG PHILIPPINES!
How would I twitch my story? hmmm... When was exactly I got hooked with SMART? oh yeah, my husband and I met over the internet, true!!! the MiRC era, from then on, online thing have been part of me, but unfortunately I have to go to the nearest internet cafe just to email him everyday (required) since we don't have any internet connection at home. We are smart buddy prepaid subscriber from away back up to now. Since I first set my thumb on the keypads, it has always been SMART BUDDY. Long distance relationship was never a hindrance to us because of our online connection, mobile phone communication and of course God. Hubby is my first and last man, he's my boyfriend for 8 years until we got married last December 2008. If only there's SMART Bro Broadband way back it would be very complacent for us especially for me, nevertheless, I'm still thankful ---exchanging text messages and calls through SMART BUDDY PREPAID... no electronic loads too way back,no unlimited calls and text, if I may add, but SMART is smart!!! the first to introduce electronic loads and the rest is history.
So much for our love story, the love for traveling is one of our common bonds, recently we went to Cebu then Clark, from Clark we head off to Baguio then Baguio to Banaue, then Banaue to Manila then back to Clark and Cebu then back home to Davao... that's for 8 days. Actually the only place that is new to us is Banaue, we were very excited going there, another road less traveled for us both. Reading blogs about Banaue really interest us but most of the problem written is the internet connection. Now, the BIG question is CAN WE SURVIVE OUR TRIP WITHOUT "MISSING " THE INTERNET CONNECTION? Especially me, I'm into blogging, I got lots of online friends, Facebook,-ing! ,online contests, twitter, skype, instant messengers, and etc my answer is ........YES!!! (with conviction, hahaha) I have my SMART BRO PREPAID BROADBAND USB always with me, I quite travel most of the time, and going to road less traveled SPELLS no WIFI connection and rarely found internet cafe, it's better to be prepared.
these were the gadgets and needs I brought along with me last trip, if you notice, on the right side my SMART BRO BROADBAND PREPAID USB is present! =) |
When we were in Cebu, I had no problem getting online since our hotel have free wifi access in our room, same goes to Clark airport, but when he head up to Baguio, my Smart BPB USB saves the day, we were able to connect with friends, upload few pictures taken from Baguio. Download a Baguio Map, and since our hotel have no TV available, we were still updated with Japan's tsunami, the war against Libya and current news in the Philippines including the weather forecast... all this was made possible with the used of internet with the help of SMART BRO PREPAID BROADBAND connection.
A day in Baguio, some few shots I shared using smart bro connection right after the pictures were taken. |
After Baguio, we traveled 8 hours to reach Banaue, particularly in their centro, another useful instance we were able to confirm our hotel booking via Facebook online. We stayed at Banaue View Inn, one great place to stay, affordable and over viewing their centro but the catch was we don't have TV again, we need to go down stairs at the guest lobby to watch, so might as well get online... I have never imagined I will be able to connect over the internet since on our way there I got poor signal, honestly I brought along with me another sim just to be sure I'll be able to connect with my family but to my dismay... not even a bar of signal I can get with it... good thing my SMART PREPAID PHONE have!!! as expected =) not full bar though, but at least I can still get connected with my family. Out of curiosity, I plugged in my SMART BRO PREPAID BROADBAND and viola!!! CONNECTED!!! Isn't it amazing!!! via GPRS though but it helps!!!
Accidental shot while hubby was taking a landscape photo of Banaue Centro (My Smart Bro caught in cam). This is located at the Banaue View Inn balcony. |
HERE'S the PRINT SCREEN OF MY FACEBOOK WALL...
sorry, if some are in chavacano dialect... my native tongue. |
The thought that I was able to connect with friends and family to share some experiences recently happening to me is PRICELESS! especially when you are in a rural area. Truly SMART COMMUNICATION is NATIONWIDE guaranteed!
Thank for making my life the easier SMART BRO!!! I can really count on you even to the farthest road less traveled. TRULY SMART PEOPLE ONLY USES SMART BRO!Another shots shared on Facebook after the pictures were taken. Enjoying a fine day with children of Batad, Ifugao Province. A simple yet happy life! |
So what are you waiting for KAPATID??? If I can access smart bro even to the farthest part of the Philippines whats more when you're around town? what yah think? If you're smart then you get SMART BRO BROADBAND!

Indeed, Smart Bro today takes us to a whole new world of internet possibilities. A dynamic tool for me since I use it at home and even at school via gprs connection on my nokia X3. I always get connected with my friends on facebook, explore forums, and do research work with ease, anytime, anywhere (as long as the signal is decent, which is always above decent.)
ReplyDeleteFantastic Article ate hehe, hope you inspire more of us, and also thank you SMARTBRO for keeping as connected. Good Luck and Godspeed :)
smartbro save our day talaga pag nasa travel... i have 1 too. great gadgets in hand
ReplyDeleteit's really cool to be "connected" even while on a vacation or just having a backpaker gig.
ReplyDeleteit's a good thing we have SmartBro now.
@Louie Fernandez --- hi louie, i'm glad your SMART! hahahah.. I know you are... you know what? students today is really fortunately, research projects that is conservatively done in the library.. with smart bro its easy as 1-2-3! I really salute your being diligent in school, your facebook wall is far different from other student because it's more on your activity in school, such as assignments, examination test papers results even if it's almost for a butterfly grade, you never dare hide it. I know someday, I will be seeing one successful man in your persona! kudos louie...
ReplyDeletelove,ate jhess!
