In this online-era, people could not end up the day without browsing from their smartphones. When we wake up in the morning, the first thing we tap is our very own mobile phones. There's no problem with it for as long we are happy of what we're doing. But when the time comes that you have kids in the family, how secure and safe are they when they use their smartphones? That's why I personally recommend Plano. Why?

Plano, Parental Control App

I think Plano got the perfect features that every Parents should see. Plano is an empowering and easy to use app that will ensure safe and healthy smart device use by children (aged 6 months to early teenage years) worldwide. Yes, not just here in Cebu! Now, let me give you some points and reasons why choose Plano in protecting your children from Cyber Issues.

1. It's cute! 

Yes, aside from the very purpose of this Parental Control App to ensure healthy and safe smart device use in children worldwide, Plano is very cute. Check out the icon!

2. Amazing Features designed for Children.

Now, let's focus on the true reasons why Plano Singapore is indeed a highly recommended Parental Monitoring App.

a. Plano makes sure that the device use is balanced, safe and healthy not just for the eyes of the Kids but also for everyone who uses it.
b. Plano can help set "No Device Time" to your kids most especially during homework or Dinner time.
c. Plano can set safe device locations.
d. Plano can help detect, select and block unwanted applications for your Children's safe browsing.
e. Plano helps in setting distance from your Kids' eyes.
f. Plano gives a blue light filter for a sounding sleep.
g. And most importantly, parents can lock the device remotely. Isn't it amazing?!

3. You can use Plano for free (30 days)

Yes, this is what I love about Plano. Unlike any other app, Plano can be used for free in 30 Days. At least, you got an option to go or not for this app. But trust me when I said Plano can assist you and make you a better Parents.

Download now at the Apple iOS store or the Google Play store. (wink!) You can also see more testimonies from www.plano.co

I'm not a Food critic but for a person who loves Ramen, Osaka Takoyaki got your back. Aside from different types of noodle soup, they got a real Takoyaki. Now, you don't need to fly to Japan to taste it and other dishes as the Restaurant uses ingredients from Japan. Their Takoyaki balls are made of flour, egg, veggies, and some octopus meat, garnished with spices and herbs then topped with a special sauce.

Head to Osaka Takoyaki for some comfort noodle soups during rainy days or maybe fulfill those Japanese cravings!

Four Reasons Why Watch "I FOUND MY HEART IN SANTA FE"

Four Reasons Why Watch "I FOUND MY HEART IN SANTA FE"

By Cebu Blogger   12:56 PM   No comments:

After a tiring but amazing trek to Mt. Manunggal on a Sunday, I rushed immediately to SM City Cebu to attend a special screening of the movie "I Found My Heart In Santa Fe". Honestly, I was not expecting a lot from this movie. But I was amazed on how the cinematography of the movie was being shown. Are you ready to know why we need to watch this movie?

Here Are The Four Reasons Why Watch "I FOUND MY HEART IN SANTA FE"

1. The movie features Santa Fe of Bantayan Island - a treasure in the North!

Santa Fe is a municipality that is part of Bantayan Island in Cebu which has a beautiful non-crowded beach that boasts of white sand that sparkles in the sunlight.

The idea to shot the movie in Santa Fe came from Director Bona Fajardo himself who discovered the beach last year.

Blogger Mark Monta in Santa Fe

“As directors or writers, we have certain stories that we keep inside our hearts and mind.  It is just a matter of finding the right inspiration to fuel that story.  When I saw Santa Fe, I wanted to explore it and the story I had in mind came hand in hand with my desire to discover the magic in the place.”

The setting was just perfect.  That was the sign Direk Bona was waiting for to write the beautiful and endearing love story of Jennifer and Viktor.

The beauty of the island was one of the main factors that move that love story of Jennifer and Viktor, making Santa Fe as an important element that makes the movie more interesting.  The island, pristine and with raw beauty, serves as the perfect romantic backdrop. In addition, most of the supporting casts were hired from Locals.

2. Real life sweethearts star in a chill-type movie.

For the very first time, real-life couple Roxanne Barcelo and Will Devaughn join forces in terms of heart, talent and resources (as co-producers) to make what could be most interesting and heart-warming romantic-comedy of the year.

Titled “I Found My Heart in Santa Fe,” the movie was shot in location in the picturesque island of Santa Fe in Cebu, which is said to be the newest favorite tourist destination of people wanting to bask in the sun and enjoy the cool waters.

Roxanne and Will had been in a relationship for four years now but they have yet to work in a project.  But both have been dreaming of doing a movie together or an interesting TV project where they can show their chemistry as a love team, aside from their acting talent.

That’s why when this project was presented to both of them, Roxanne and Will grabbed the chance.  The indie film, directed by Bona Fajardo, marks the first time for them to collaborate on a film project.  And, it’s a love story, thus making Roxanne and Will all the more excited.

In “I Found My Heart in Santa Fe,” Roxanne plays the role of Jennifer, a smart, hardworking and pretty islander with a unique personality.  She has this spunk in her that is not typical of an island girl, making her more interesting to men.  But because of a recent heartache in her personal life toughened her and made her wiser when it comes to love.  What keeps her busy is managing their family-owned business, a resort called Beach Placid.

Will, on the other hand, plays the handsome German-Filipino named Viktor, who loves adventure and has his own company named “Green Technology” which is focused in developing business ventures in different countries.

Viktor is a prized catch.  He is rich, athletic, a music lover but remains a simple man who just loves to explore the world.  He is also in the process of putting together the missing pieces of his life.

The exciting journey to love of Jennifer and Viktor started when the latter decided to fly to Santa Fe to look for his biological mother which he has yet to meet and to discover his Filipino roots as well.

Victor and Jennifer will bump into each other in a rather odd situation but due to Viktor’s insistence and persistence, he will stop at nothing to win the heart of Jennifer.  He was captivated by Jennifer’s charm.   The movie follows the blossoming of the romance between two individuals whose traits are poles apart.  But as they say, opposite poles attract. Will this hold true for Viktor and Jennifer?

3. This movie is directed by independent digital film maker, Direk Bona Fajardo

Direk Bona Fajardo belongs to a group that started independent-digital filmmaking in 2000.   He directed the first indie film of Judy Ann Santos titled “Miss Pinoy,” an advocacy film on Overseas Filipino Workers.  After that he got assigned to handle the film development technology.  As early as 2000, Direk Bona already sensed that independent-digital filmmaking is already the direction to which local and international filmmaking is headed.

He also directed the movie "Iliw" about Vigan, Ilocos Sur topbilled by Kaye Abad.

“I, together with other pioneering indie directors, had been joining film festivals that time.  We are part of the production and creative team.  I remember that a Robin Padilla indie film we did then titled “Astigmatism” won an award at the Hong Kong International Film Festival (HKIFF).  That was a first for the Philippines.  It won a Silver Award in the digital division of HKIFF,” Direk Bona recalled.

After winning awards, Direk Bona and his group decided to venture into film technology development and was later assigned to film tourism.


4. This movie is part of Cine Lokal!

“I Found My Heart in Santa Fe” is the first brand new film to be screened at Cine Lokal in select SM Cinemas beginning September 15.

Movie Verdict?

Just focus on the amazing scenes of Santa Fe and get attracted to that beautiful panorama and aerial shots of the island. Truly, Cebu is indeed a treasure of Central Visayas.
