Online shopping is becoming a part of life of every Juan. There is already Ebay.ph, Lazada.com.ph, Zalora.com.ph and other online shops that spread throughout the online world.

Unfortunate for use, local online shops has limited list of products that we can buy and most are in low quality. That forces me to look to Amazon to buy tech related products, like ipad pro screen protector, apple watch band, etc.

Still, the problem with shopping in Amazon is the limited number of products for international shipping. Shipping directly to Philippine address is expensive and Amazon will charge for tax higher that the actual tax rate (but excess will be refunded).

I had a chat with my colleague and he recommended that I use my-shoppingbox.com to handle the shipping. I can buy items from Amazon and other US online stores and send them to my my-shoppingbox.com US address. So, I tried...

Here are the steps to be able to use my-shoppingbox.com shipping service:

1. Signup to my-shoppingbox.com to get US or Europe delivery address.

2. Use your my-shoppingbox.com address as delivery address when you shop in online store such as Amazon.com.

I ordered a guitar strings and ipad pro 10.5 Tech Armor glass protector on Amazon.com on February 24, 2018.

The items was delivered to my US address on March 02, 2018 - just 7 days for standard delivery and shipping was free!

3. Wait for the package to be listed in your my-shoppingbox.com account. It will usually take 3-5 days to appear.

My order appeared to my account the next day, i.e. March 03, 2018! That was freakin' fast!

4. Pay shipping to Philippine address. You have a choice to ship the item by air or sea. By air is fast around 7-10 days but expensive (5.99USD/lb). By sea shipping will take around 1 month but cheaper (2.99 USD/lb).

I paid using BDO card and got 10% discount on shipping fee - not bad.

5. Wait for package to arrive to your Philippine address.

So, shop now and enjoy the fruits of your labor - while you still can :-).

Update (14Mar2018)

At last, I received the package today. Shipping took 11 days, 1 day more than what I expected.

Amazon packaging...

The items that I bought, Ipad pro 10.5 Tech Armor glass screen protector and 2 sets of Earthwood guitar strings.

Sana ibalik ang death penalty

" Sana ibalik ang death penalty ". Yan ang kadalasan na comment tuwing may mga karumal-dumal na krimen. Akala mo sagot ang death penalty para mawala ang heinous crime sa Pilipinas. I hope na silakbo lang ng damdamin ang pagsasabi nila na ibalik ang death penalty at hindi dulot ng katangahan. Alam naman natin na baboy ang justice system sa Pinas at kadalasan ay mga mahihirap ang nagsa-suffer sa maling pagpapatupad ng batas. Kaya nga kadalasan ay makakarinig o makakabasa tayo ng - "kung mahirap, kulong na yan". Baka sa huli makarinig na rin tayo ng - "kung mahirap, nabitay na yan". Ang death penalty ay hindi effective deterrence sa krimen. May mga states sa US na may death penalty pero patuloy pa rin ang mga karumal-dumal na krimen. Ang death penalty ay isa lamang tool ng government para legal na pumatay ng tao - pero kailangan pa ba ito kung kabi-kabila naman ang patayan at extra-judicial killings sa Pinas? Baka naman pwede na sabihin "nanlaban...

A Leader Redefining India

Narendra Modi, India’s 14th Prime Minister, is a figure who evokes both admiration and debate. Born in a small town in Gujarat, Modi’s journey from a tea-seller to the helm of the world’s largest democracy is a testament to his resilience and ambition. Since taking office in 2014, he has emerged as a transformative leader, steering India toward economic growth, technological advancement, and global prominence. Modi’s governance is marked by bold initiatives. The Swachh Bharat (Clean India) campaign aimed to improve sanitation, while Demonetization sought to curb corruption, albeit with mixed results. His push for Digital India has revolutionized the country’s tech infrastructure, bringing millions online and fostering innovation. The GST reform unified India’s complex tax system, streamlining business operations. On the global stage, Modi has elevated India’s standing. His diplomatic outreach, from the Quad Alliance to hosting ...

Microsoft Office365

Let's be honest about it. Apple office document apps sucks. Although, I am using Macbook 12-inch model as my personal laptop, I hate their office apps not because they are buggy or not user-friendly; but because of their limited adoption. Few people are using it (none of my friends and colleague uses it). I cannot use it in my work because people will curse me. There is only one instance where I used it, i.e. during our hackaton event. That's it. As expected, like any office worker; I am a regular user of Microsoft Office, i.e. word, powerpoint and excel. I bought office365 since it is cheaper and you always get the latest version. I am using it for 2 years now and my license will end August of this year (August 08, 2018 to be exact). I bought my last 2 licenses from lazada.com.ph for less than 2,000 pesos. As I don't want to lose my access to onedrive.com and office apps; I bought a new 1 year license from lazada.com.ph for 1,499 pesos inclusive of the shippi...
