ZOOBIC NIGHT SAFARI: Wild After Dark

The night is so much alive at ZOOBIC NIGHT SAFARI. This 25-hectare exotic sanctuary in Subic Bay offers a unique, thrilling, and exciting wild night adventure that would surely charm the lionhearted. Packed with so much excitement, me and my friends took this one of a kind adventure all set to tickle our nocturnal senses.



Aboard a tram called the Zooper Train, our wild adventure started with a tour at The Forbidden Cave. This surely got our hearts pounding with all its bizarre surprises. I dare you try this and find it out for yourself. Be warned, it's not for the fainthearted. Next stop was the Serpentarium, a reptile haven of snakes, lizards, and iguanas.

Giving us a breather was the most anticipated Night Safari Show. Performances staged for the night's entertainment reminded us to take care of Mother Nature and the ecosystem. Among many of the show's highlight was the Aetas performing their traditional dances. Closing the night's spectacle were a number of fire dances performed by no other than Zoobic Safari's very own staff; from the receptionists to the caretakers, just about everyone.

Then we were ushered to Zoobic Safari's pride, the Tiger Safari. We took a ride in an enclosed jeep bound to take us to the tiger's natural habitat and got the chance to have a bewildering close encounter with the tigers. Next on the list was the Croco Loco; a crocodile lair where we got the chance to feed the giant reptiles. And completing our tour was an on-foot trip in the Zoobic Park where we got oriented with different animals in their simulated habitats.

Be bold and experience wild nights only at the Zoobic Night Safari. For inquiries, you may contact them at 899-9824 / 899-9595 loc 344 or you can visit their website at www.zoobic.com.ph

ZOOCOBIA: Embracing Biodiversity

ZOOCOBIA surely is one of the happiest places in the planet. This captivating paradise in Clark, Pampanga offers more than just a variety of exciting activities for the whole family. It's a theme park like no other.



First on our tour was the Animal Bone and Skin Museum. Here, in noble display, were preserved animal skins and bones where one can surely learn a thing or two about taxidermy. Next stop was the Birds of Paradise. This is definitely one of the best experiences Zoocobia has to offer because we actually got the chance to feed the lovebirds with our own bare hands inside their nesting den. In addition, it also allow visitors to have a close encounter with a wide array of birds.

Adding more frenzy to the whole Zoocobia experience are the Clarkzilla 4x4 Zooperb Ride and the Zooc Ride, a gravity car running on a 400-meter winding track. These are definitely a must try; fun and excitement guaranteed. The latest addition to Zoocobia's adrenalin pumping treats are the 450-meter Zip Line and  the Zing-A-Ride. These two installations are set to put a big smile to thrill seekers. But to top it all off, I enjoyed the Carabao Ride the most. It was a short yet very stirring trip.

TENDA LAUNCHES THREE NEW ROUTERS IN THE PHILIPPINES

TENDA, a new kid on the block in the wireless distribution system in the Philippines, is set to impress the consumers with its easy-to-install units and reliable data connection of up to 300 Mbps.


The company introduces three new exciting models in the Philippine market-the W3002R, W309R+ and FH303. According to Charlie Jiang, company sales manager for the Philippines, TENDA is set to win the competition against other wireless solution brands in the market.

"TENDA's edge against the other routers are, it is easy to set up or install and its parts are made by Broadcom chipset company (famous WIFI chipset maker in the world)," Jiang said.
Jiang explained that TENDA's edge over competitors does not stop at providing quality routers but, extends to after sales services.

TENDA W3002R
 "The guaranty time for TENDA routers in the Philippines is two years since the date when the customers bought it from the authorized dealer's stores," Jiang said. Jiang added that should customers come across a defective unit, technical support can be easily reached through the hotline.

"If there is any problem about the hardware, the customers just have to consult our dealer’s technicians to solve it, Jiang said.

"If the technician cannot troubleshoot the problem, the dealer will send that unit back to our distributor BELEXIS then our engineers will test the RMA unit first and then try to fix it or replace it in 7-15 days according to the problem," Jiang said. Jiang promises to bring the finest internet connection experience in the office and at home for TENDA customers.

"The purpose of TENDA Philippines company is just to let the Filipinos enjoy surfing the wireless network easier by using our easy set top TENDA router in an affordable price and good service " .Jiang said.

Sharing the best data experience with W3002R and FH303 W309R+ and FH303 is the perfect combo to heighten the data connection experience that hits 300 Mbps and provides the widest area coverage. Jiang explained  the W3002R is a powerful wireless solution made for home and office use that offers reliable internet connection for faster downloads. “W3002R is the advanced 300Mbps router with new nice design, high power router, its coverage is two times wider than the normal 300Mbps router,” Jiang said." 

TENDA-W3002R has detachable antennas that use the universal repeater technology which allows wider area coverage, better performance and enhanced compatibility. Security issues have also been resolved with the W3002 as it offers multi-level encryption options to prevent unauthorized access to safeguard important data. FH303, on the other hand, resolves dead spot troubles at home and in the office that slows down fun and work. As TENDA is committed to customer satisfaction, the FH303 is made to deliver quality internet connectivity with a push of a button.

TENDA FH303
“FH303 is also a high power router with a button on the rear side , that can adjust the router 's performance mode to be normal signal or high signal mode,: Jiang explained. “When the router is working in normal signal mode, it also can save the energy ,we call this as the green energy saving,” he added. Two rear side buttons can be found on the unit. The first button allows users to adjust wireless signal effectively and conveniently while the second button serves as security lock. Other features of this model include several filters like bandwidth control, MacAddress clone, remote web management and system log.

 “These models belong to the high power router series ,for the high power router with two 
antennas , we recommend W3002R while for the high power router with three antennas , we recommend FH303 ,” Jiang said. FH303 comes in elegant white with three antennas which secures reliable internet connection.

No more dead spots at home with W309R+. One of the highlights of TENDA wireless solution technology is affordability and quality and that is exactly what the W309R+ has to offer. Customers are in for a great deal with the last, but not the least, on the roster of the newly launched router models with its competitive market price and potent features. According to Jiang, W309R+ can increase data connectivity at home up to 300 Mbps that can work with broadband internet connection.

”W309R+ is the high power 300 Mbps router with two 9 dBi antennas,” he said. This model can share with multiple computers considering the limits of a broadband internet connection. Since not every household has a “techie” member, the W309R+ comes with an easy setup utility that makes it easy for family members to set up the unit. This affordable model is more than its price worth when it comes with added features like the enhanced wireless distribution system which allows customers to set up a wireless communication between two or more routers in the area. Despite its ability to connect to several routers, the W309R+ does not compromise the security of data of its users as it is equipped with a multi-level encryption feature.

SHIMMIAN MANILA SURGICENTER is more than just aesthetics. It is "beauty from the heart."It takes pride among its clients who all couldn't vouch for anything less than "satisfaction guaranteed." I, too, was shimmianized.
I am one of the lucky few who were invited to try and experience the different services offered by Shimmian Manila Surgicenter. I initially got a little nervous hearing about the radio frequency technology, but the staff were really very friendly and accommodating that I felt safe and secured. Next thing I knew, I was feeling all excited to try it out and see my transformation.


I decided to try their CAVITALIPOMELT BODY SCULPTING (RF Tummy Tuck with Cavitation). It's a one-hour non-surgical procedure that targets the cellulite around the tummy area with radio frequency.  After my first session, I can proudly say that my tummy is four inches thinner and I'm feeling four times more confident. Thanks a lot, Shimmian!

Their latest offering includes Comprehensive Human Stem Cell Treatment, a breakthrough in medical technology that helps in the anti-aging process and cures several diseases like arthritis, migraine, and a lot more.
