How to get an SM Cinema e-PLUS Card

I think I'll be needing a new wallet with more card pockets in it.

Well, I just got a my own SM Cinema e-PLUS Card that promises FREE stuff, exclusive rewards, discounts, promos and other exciting perks from partner establishments!

It works just like your SM Advantage Card where you earn points when you shop in their malls and grocery stores.  With e-PLUS, which is short for Entertainment, Privileges, Lifestyle, Upgrades and Surprises (nice one, Mr. Copywriter), movie fanatics can earn points every time they watch a movie or purchase snack at Snacktime.  These points can be used to redeem items at the e-PLUS booth located at all SM Cinema branches.  Below you'll find charts on how to earn points, redeemable items and partner establishments where cardholders can get discounts and freebies by just presenting their e-PLUS card during every transaction.

e-PLUS prepaid cards also give you the flexibility of choosing a movie schedule convenient for you. Are you unable to make it in time for the screening time? Not a problem! With e-PLUS, you can simply catch the next available screening without any hassle.

e-PLUS prepaid also lets you enjoy the benefits of online convenience. You may use your prepaid cards to purchase movie tickets in advance.

Now, if my you are already convinced after reading this 300-word blog post, here's how you can get your own card:

1. Fill out an application form obtained at any e-PLUS booth or from www.smcinema.com.

2. Upon submission of the completed application form, cardholder has the option to avail the e-PLUS starter kit for Php 300.  The starter kit includes a premium item, an automatic pass to a movie plus a large pop corn and soda.

3. But wait! There's more! Upon completion of registration, you will get a welcome SMS that you need to validate.  After validating, you'll get a complimentary movie ticket of your choice on your next visit to SM Cinema.  That's as if you never paid the Php 300 for the starter kit. What!!!

4. You can reload your card with either a Php 500 or Php 1000 denomination. Every reload comes with FREE upsize of drinks and meal credits.

The only downside I can see in this deal is that you'll be needing a new wallet with more card pockets in it after getting a SM Cinema e-PLUS Card.

Watch FREE movies at Shangri-La Cineplex

It's beginning to look a lot like Chinese New Year!

Well, I had pansit bihon for breakfast and I saw a group of girls playing Chinese garter on my way to work this morning.  Yesterday, I had a meeting with Chinese gave me three chocolate bars (I hope it does not mean I love you since I am no longer available and she's in her 60's) which caught me off guard and think for awhile what I can give in return. I check my bag and found these options: (a) mentos, (b) oil film, (c) unused ballpen with a logo of a pharmaceutical company on it and (d) an ID lace that I should have used months ago.

In the end, I decided to just say thank you and smile as sweet as the chocolates she gave.

Then I saw this big print ad in The Philippine Star today about the 6th Spring Film Festival from January 20 - 29, 2012.  It will be FREE admission to the public. Make sure to be there at the Shangrila Cineplex two (2) hours before the film, for tickets run out so fast!

Justin Bieber movie tickets giveaway from Proactiv

Ever dream of having a movie star complexion?

Well, you actually have a lot of options to have one. You can start searching for an old lamp from antique shops hoping that you'll find the one where a genie lives or get all those coins in your piggy bank and start a "panata" in front of a wishing well until you're superstah skin is granted.

But seriously, I have read and heard about a "miracle" product that is Proactiv Solution where millions have said to have their skin and lives changed.

Well, here's a fact I just found out recently: Justin Bieber endorses Proactiv Solution.

If you're one certified Bieliber, I think you should follow the steps of your idol because the proof can be seen in Justin's face. This product guarantees Proactiv acne and pimple fighting skin care solution.

Btw, there is a Proactiv promotion for buyers where first 30 buyers can win Justin Bieber movie tickets. So you might want to check that out. Follow Proactiv Solution Philippines on Facebook for more exciting promotions and events in the future.

Also, if any of my dear readers are already Proactiv users, I want to hear from you. Kindly share your success stories in the comment section below. Thank you!

FREE Admission to the Screening of the finest Filipino action film ever made

I have yet to see the film but I've been reading a lot of reviews about Bagong Hari, an action film which was a box-office disaster mainly because it was shown in theaters the time when the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution erupted (Eh, ikaw ba naman nagliliparan na tora-tora at may tangke na sa kalsada manonod ka pa ba ng sine. Kahit may passes ka pa baka ipamigay mo na lang sa kagalit mo e.) It also didn't help when it was graded as Rated X because of the violence in the film.

The movie is a work of the great Mario O' Hara, who is a regular topic in my film class in college. He is the same guy who gave the Philippine cinema masterpieces like Tinimbang Ka Ngunit Kulang and Babae sa Breakwater.

Bagong Hari, which stars Dan Alvaro, Joel Torre, Crami MArtin and other notable veteran actors, will be screened FREE to the public this Saturday, March 12 at 2 p.m., at the Tanghalang Manuel Conde, Cultural Center of the Philippines. I just hope I can find time to catch this film which may be our only chance to see what is said by movie critics as the finest Filipino action film ever made.

Save the World, Win a Sony Playstation 3

I will forever be a kid in front of a Sony Playstation.

I used to own the a PS 1 unit and even used it in a mini business along with another unit from a friend. I never knew whatever happened to my unit after I left for a 2-year stint to work abroad. In Saipan, it's always a game day every Friday night with some friends I met there who owns a PS 2.

Huh... those were the days.

MTV is giving away a brand new Plasystation 3 to that lucky person who can give the best answer to their question tied-in with Milla Jovovich's Resident Evil : Afterlife.

What would you do to help Alice save the human race?

You have until September 23 to send in your answer via www.mtvasia.com.

FREE tickets to The Expendables

I hope my former office mates from Video City can read this: I wanna watch The Expendables, guys!

During my stint as copywriter/ publicity officers for Video City, one of the things I love doing is organizing a premiere night for a up and coming film! From the gimmick to the program to the tickets and freebies for the attendees, every moment is as exciting as watching the film.

Now, I wanna watch a premiere night as an ordinary movie fan without having to think where a guest celebrity will sit down or how the backdrop at the cinema entrance would look like. So anyone from VC main office there?

Just click on the image to see the details of the promo.

Eclipse Umbrella from Dunkin Donuts

The Eclipse fever will be on for the next two weeks until a new hit from Hollywood will open in cinemas soon. Hmmm, let's see... how about The Last Airbender which start Jackson Rathbone who incidentally played Jasper in the Twilight Saga.

I saw the movie last Saturday with my wife at Gateway Cineplex 10 (as I said in my previous post) because I want to avail their raffle promotions. But due to the long lines en route to the cinemas, the ticket seller forgot to give me the raffle coupons as explained by the man tending Cinema 3.

"Pasensiya na po sir, baka nakalimutan dahil sa haba ng pila. Balikan n'yo na lang mamya pag maikli na pila," he said. After two hours, I did intend to go back for my coupon but the line did not change a bit. Oh, well. better luck next time.

While on the cab, we passed by a Dunkin Donut outlet in Araneta Center and saw an Eclipse umbrella. You can get it for Php 69 only if you buy at least a dozen donuts. Promo is until July 31, 2010.
