The set up in Bonifacio High Street BGC looks like this. There's also pop corn, drinks and all the good things you enjoy at the movies....

Review: Starmobile Play Max with 600MB free data
It was the week when I was like a kid in a candy store experimenting with a new phone, the new Starmobile Play Max which is bundled with up to 600MB free data each month from Smart. Imagine my excitement turn into disbelief when my youngest daughter Lucia said this: " Can I also get a phone mommy? My classmate Alejandra has one." It was, to me, a milestone moment. After all, my older kids didn't have phone until they were 14 years old or so. But one thing led to another and the Starmobile Play Max suddenly changed hands from me to my youngest kid. The handover was ... Continue Reading...
