Meeting Future Community Leaders from Pembo

March 11, 2010 by Janey

To get the kids started on their planned blog that plans to give their fellow kids in Pembo a voice on community issues, as well as share with them the positive insights learned from Hands On Manila’s Galing Mo Kid Program, we got some bloggers to tutor them on the basics of this media. Mr. Juned Sonido, Mr. Arpee Lazaro, and Ms. Jane Chua kindly allocated one Saturday morning for us. Starbucks, via CSR Manager Zarah Perez, with the help of Leizl Ebdane, generously hosted the session. –Therese Panganiban

Location: Starbucks, Makati

This short info on Therese’s Album basically captures what that Saturday morning was about. I had a blast being around kids (okay, I don’t know if kids are still the right term since they are 12-year olds but with my age, it feels like we are eons apart) because they bring such a different energy and vibe. That session with them also made me reminisce stuff I occupied myself with during that age.

It’s that tender time that you are free to take a step at any direction (guided, of course)… without making too many mistakes. There’s just a whole future ahead of you and the world seems to be your oyster.

Thanks to Juned, Zarah and Therese for inviting me to be part of the forum.

Looking forward to another session with them! 🙂

XOXO,

Ate Janey

Sandbox: My Own Little Playpen

May 7, 2009 by Janey

Recreate your playpen and get in touch with the people you’ve known since you were very young. Build your network of friends even those you’ve known since you were a toddler. It’s fast, easy and mobile.

Sandbox is a portal that brings content and services you love on the web all in one place. In Sandbox, you can create a profile and update your status for your friends to see. It’s the easiest way to get a dose of the ongoings in your family and friends’ lives. You can upload and view photos and videos, write a blog or join a forum discussion.

There are so many things to keep it interactive. You can send and receive email and open a live chat. You can download music and games or watch live specials and popular TV episodes. And you can do all this even when you’re away from your PC because Sandbox puts all this on the mobile phone. It’s a great web experience you can take with you wherever you go.

Because it’s delivered to your mobile, it can be charged to either your prepaid load or billed above your postpaid plan.

MyGroups simplifies social networking to something visual, fun, intuitive and feature-filled but straightforward.

Change your status, upload and download photos and videos, post blogs and send private messages to friends in fewer clicks than it normally takes on other social networks.

You can even create groups and your own mobile site.

Plus cool Forum discussions will keep you informed and hook you up with people interested in the same things.

And Mail makes sure you never miss out on the client’s or the boss’s urgent messages.
