Memos from January 2014


Great… and Greater

jobs-2013-11539

Saw Jobs (the movie) final­ly. This thing is a good source of inspi­ra­tion for cre­atives. One of the mono­logue’s that I still remem­ber is the one that Matthew Modine said (por­tray­ing John Scul­ley in the screen­cap above):

You can make a great prod­uct, but you have to con­vince peo­ple that what you’re sell­ing is greater.

This does­n’t only deal with mate­r­i­al prod­ucts per se, but our­selves.

Philippines’ Globe Mobile Network Promos

Bare neces­si­ties. If you are ever in Manila/PHL and look­ing to get a Pre­paid mobile line for emer­gency and/or to just com­mu­ni­cate around the islands, this might get you on the right track.

I did some research with Globe and their “GoSak­to” make-your-own com­bos; ~P500/month for some calls and unlim­it­ed tex­ting ain’t bad (P300 only if 1,000 of text). I’ll be able to afford more cronuts now!

PS. You may test more com­bos over here.

Update
Seems there’s a bet­ter pro­mo if you are look­ing to spend about P500, GoUnli500. The pro­mo bun­dle includes the fol­low­ing:

  • Viber, FBMsg, Kakaotalk,WhatsApp, WeChat, Line
  • Text to All net­works
  • Calls to Globe and TM
  • Free Face­book up to 10MB
