Cebu Tihik Tip # 2 - Get free samples from P&G

Are you one of those people who intentionally walks near those shopping isles in the supermarket  where free samples are given away and you're hoping to taste one so bad? Or are also one of those people who hopes to test try and receive free new products from awesome companies? Well, I admit I'm one of these kind of people, haha! Anything for free and my eyes go sparkling. So while scrolling down my Facebook newsfeed I see this ad wherein you could receive a free sample from Pantene conditioner that wasn't released yet to the public (at that time). I clicked the link and it redirected me to Everyday Me. 

So I did register and claimed my free sample on the said website and it said it will be delivered at my doorstep, laysho! 'Lo and behold, it did arrive at my doorstep with wads of cash discount coupons, EverydayMe card, and the said Pantene conditioner! Here's the complete package of what I got for FREE!

They have free samples from time to time so grab it as fast as you can and if you're active on the site by joining their activities, you get the chance to win a year's supply of anything P&G if you participate and get to be the lucky one! So what are you waiting for? Register na!

Cebu Tihik Tip # 1 - Cheapest Extra Rice in SM Cebu Foodcourt

I've always been a thrifty person since the day I could remember, all of my friends know that. It's been taught since I was little that we should know how to save, to save ourselves during the rainy days. In behalf of my fellow Cebuanos, I present to you, the Cebu Tihik Tips saga! Note, I'm not paid to endorse their company or whatever, I will only share ways of what I do to save money. And you could suggest it to me too so together we'll save the world! Haha, char lang.

So the first Cebu Tihik Tip is about where to buy the cheapest extra rice in amidst the heaps of food stalls in SM Foodcourt. Rice has and always is the staple food for us Filipinos, and extra rice is always wanted needed especially when the viand is tasty, or simply because 1 cup isn't enough! Now the question is, where could we buy the cheapest extra cup of rice when dining at SM Cebu Food court?

The cheapest you could buy is puso (hanging rice) of course, but there's no food stall in SM Cebu food court that sells puso.  There are lots of food stalls to choose from, and after years of experience (haha!) the cheapest extra cup of rice could be bought at GOTO KING!

A cup of rice only costs 11 pesos as of writing. Whereas other stalls costs from 15-25 pesos, imagine buying a cup of rice for 25 pesos while in Goto King you could buy 2 plus 3 pesos change.

So the next time you crave for another cup of rice while dining at SM Cebu Foodcourt, you know where to go!

Sun Free Mobile Internet

Unlike the free internet connection from Globe and Smart wherein we need to download Psiphon, we just need to tweak few settings in our Mobile network to make the free internet work. Connection is kind of sloppy, unstable and slow unlike Psiphon though. I know some people have some other tricks to make this work, as for me, I'm contented with being able to use Facebook and download e-books on my phone. To start with the free internet using your Sun sim card.

1. Make sure GPRS is activated. Check here on how to activate it.
2. Go to settings > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names.
3. Create a new APN, you can name it with anything, change the APN to "wap" and leave the Proxy and Port blank. Settings must look like below: 
   
4. Save your newly made APN and select it as your default APN.
5. Check your Network mode and see to it that it is set as "WCDMA only".
6. Turn on your mobile internet. Enjoy!

Update: It's now not working ever since they made the everyday free 30MB internet official.
