SALE ALERT: This is For Book Lovers

I've always love reading books and I grew up in a home literally filled with books that one day, my father and mother decided to open up a library in our province simply because our house was overflowing with books. And now that I have a family of my own, the scenario is still the same. Hubby loves books, daughter loves books and I love books. Going to the mall for us is not complete without going to the bookstore and buying a book, or two, or three.

So here's the exciting part, everyone is invited to the warehouse sale of National Bookstore this coming November 14-19, 2013. I always have fond memories of my previous NBS sale especially if I happen to find a title that I really, really like and that it costs like P100 or even less.

Make Friends With Paktor

Making friends is not that easy for some but with the help of Paktor, it is not impossible anymore. All you have to do is download the Paktor app and register. Simple as 1-2-3. 

It is on this note that Paktor, the newest name in social networking, was developed. Launched in mid-June of 2013, Paktor is the brainchild of Joseph Phua and co-founders Christopher D’Cruz and Charlene Koh. A user-friendly app that allows people with similar interests to connect with one another, Paktor is built on the principles of locality, usability, and anonymity.

The first thing a Paktor user will notice when signing up is how easy it is to do so. Unlike other apps that require users to fill-up several fields of personal information, Paktor allows you to sign in directly through your Facebook account, without having to modify any of your existing information. All it takes is a simple two-click, 15-second process for new users to immediately browse for new friends. Additionally, those who have doubts about logging in through Facebook can be rest assured that Paktor will never post on your behalf on your Facebook wall, or require you to manipulate anything in your account.
