I Go Bigger and Go Better with Globe

Will I go bigger or better?

That is a tough question for me.  

Because I want to be bigger as well as be better like Globe's new offers.  What to do?  

I have a lot of friends to text, call and even chat in Facebook everyday.  My colleagues used globe numbers (so no problem at all) but most of my friends used other network(s) and that's another thing because I am a frugal person and most of the time I want to save (money) even in load(s).

Good thing there is Globe to ease my problem.

Only Globe Prepaid gives me Bigger and Better unli offers.

Go Bigger

Getting inspired by '70's: Crocs Philippines' Love Affair with Retro

If you love and misses the retro and vintage things, you can be thrown back at 1970's where pop culture was at its peak.  Three words embodied the said era: fun, creative and free.

Who said that disco fever die?  Disco fever doesn't really die; it just keeps heating up with every revival.

Some of the trends that we have now are actually a reflection of what was in vogue during the ‘70s, only with modifications and fusions with other eras. Glam rock emerged with the introduction of high-waisted denims and trousers, the arrival of platforms and satin-quilted jackets. The birth of wrap dresses, the maxi dress, mini- skirts and crop tops are all part of the ‘70s look and style and are prevalent in today’s fashion trends. Suddenly, everything old is new again.
