Samsung Digital Home Appliances Launch

I couldn't resist an invite to cover an event for Samsung especially when I learned that my favorite socialite, Ms. Tessa Prieto-Valdes will be there ; ) It was already past 12 noon when she came out but everybody was just so happy to see her. She is really funny when she's on stage.

Samsung RT35FDACDSP - P31,995

Anyway, Tessa is endorsing yet another innovative product called The All-New Samsung No-Frost Digital Inverter Refrigerator.

• Digital inverter compressor strengthens durability and improves energy efficiency
• Intelligent compressor automatically adjusts across five speeds of RPM in response to various cooling demands
• The groundbreaking compressor can either rapidly or slowly provide cold air to reduce energy consumption
• It operates only when needed, thereby producing less noise

What's more, the All-New Samsung No-Frost Digital Inverter Refrigerator compressor comes with a 10-year warranty.

And Tessa's favorite feature of the ref, you ask? It's the refrigerator's Coolpack. It keeps the freezer cool for eight hours in case of power interruption. Now, she can say goodbye to melted ice cream ; )

When Eric Sulit, Samsung's Business Unit Director for IT, announced a laptop that runs on AMD's Low Voltage A6 CPU with great graphics featuring 7660G discrete class graphics, it had me thinking - Should I make the switch since I could not take my eyes off the cute 13-inch hot pink laptop? That plus the fact that I have been with my MacBook for more than 5 years ; p

Samsung invited students from various universities like De La Salle University, San Beda University, University of the Philippines and Ateneo de Manila University to play a game of Family Feud.

Samsung interviewed 100 students as respondents. Topping the list of career most wanted by the teens is to be a celebrity while Harry Potter lands only in number 4 in the All Time Favorite Movies category. Star Wars is number 1, in case you want to know ; )

I was on time but the event started an hour or so late. I was seated only a table away from the host who was holding a Samsung Tab. It was within my reach but I was not lucky enough to touch it haha Maybe I can buy one for myself. With its impressive feature, how can anyone resist it.

New find: LAM TIN Tea House

My visit : March 20, 2010

LAM TIN

Tea House

30-U Banawe St.,

Quezon CIty

4940901   4257093

After an unsatisfying lunch at Good Chef Bistro, we went to LAM TIN tea house for dinner. A nondescript restaurant with numerous parking slots available, ten (10) if I counted it right. Plenty of parking space for Banawe standards. 

Service is no-nonsense, fast and efficient. Food is inexpensive. Taste has some hit and miss!

Here are what we have ordered:

taosi spareribs PhP70

We just had a bite or two of this dimsum order and took home the rest of it. I didn't like how it tasted in the restaurant and I didn't like it either when I reheated it awhile ago for my lunch. It smells different and tastes different too. So, I didn't eat the rest of it! Sayang!

I got it: Samsung digital photo frame

I finally got my free digital photo frame from Asia Miles. Now, the problem is which is more suited for my bedside table. Dilemma, dilemma...
