HP Managed Print Service provides tremendous benefits to enterprises

Do you still have the notion that Hewlett-Packard (HP) is just a printer or laptop brand? Believe me, they are more than that. It has transformed from plainly being a hardware manufacturer into an organization that provides a full range of solution and services for everyone.

Fresh from a very short but fulfilling Singapore trip, HP introduced very profound and interesting innovations that are very useful to today’s enterprises and organizations. They have extended their Managed Print Service leadership by coming up with several new capabilities. All of these aim to aid enterprises in lowering costs and at the same time exponentially increasing productivity and profitability over time.

Validated by customers and industry analysts, HP is the enterprise choice for managed services around the world. It is the global leader in imaging and printing solutions for large organizations too. Combining its technical expertise, reliable products and solution sets, customers are able to get the best results at an optimized cost.

Solutions that matter to enterprises are what HP is proud to offer. “Our approach is looking at an organization’s total fleet of printers, fax, scanners and copiers, and helping organizations optimize their infrastructure, manage their environment and improve their workflow,” said Pierre Mirlesse, Vice President, Managed Enterprise Solutions, Imaging & Printing Group, Hewlett-Packard Asia Pacific & Japan.

Revelation of THE smartphone and Winners. Are you one of them?

More than 800 entries received after 12 clues in 3 rounds within 3 weeks... we now come to the revelation of the THE ultimate smartphone and the announcement of the 4 winners, including the lucky person who bagged a brand new smartphone.

The Revelation

Officially unveiled last June 21, the phone that looks awesome, works outstandingly fast and packed with many useful features is none other than the Samsung Galaxy S II I9100.

It's ultimately thin and light, has AMOLED screen that makes graphics "float", uses dual core processor that creates smooth transitions, and features a Voice Talk application helpful for on-the-go users.

Too bad I was not able to go to the launch at A. Venue, but fellow bloggers Rowena, Rico, and Jayvee had a blast with what they so called "the best tech event" as of yet.

Listerine Total Care Challenge Week 5: How far fresh breath took me [CONTEST]

From university org auditions to job interviews to client meetings and to socializing with friends, having a fresh breath really matters. It's never enough that I make sure I look good and dress well. I believe that I have grown so much and reached this far in my career, because I make it a point to maintain a good oral hygiene. In this way, people would always love to converse with me whether near or far, because I don't have a bad breath.

Even though I wasn't using a floss or a mouthwash before, I regularly brush my teeth at least twice a day. However, with the learning I've gotten regarding the proper oral hygiene, BFR is really the key. I'm thankful that Listerine Total Care offers 24 hours fresh breath protection, aside from the many other benefits it can give.

Yoh Froz is all about YOH!

When I think back of frozen yogurt memories, I always remember Yoh-gurt Froz to be the first. For me, it is the pioneer in this kind of business before other brands sprouted here and there.

Tasting my first cup of fro-yo, I vividly recall the goodness in taste and the oh-so yummy sweet-sour combination of fruits and the yogurt. It’s delicious indeed! Needless to say, it’s a healthy dessert option too.

Started from a tiny cart back in 2005, this brand has recently undergone a major change in the way they see their products and prioritize their loyal customers. With this change comes a hippy-er and cool-er name called Yoh Froz.

Listerine Total Care Challenge Week 4: Jawbreaker Dare

For week 4 of the Listerine Total Care blogger's challenge, we were asked to do the Jawbreaker dare. I went to Greenbelt 5 and bought some of the smaller sized jawbreakers, since the huge ones look deadly! This is how they look like:

Right after buying it, I recorded the video at once. Since I had no chance to make mistakes with this 1-take video, I realized that I kept on saying the same things. Forgive me. I feel like I was fooling myself in this video, because the jawbreakers are really unbreakable! Here's the video

Listerine: My Pledge Contest

Over the past couple of weeks, I've been a very good boy in keeping my promise of a better oral care. However, I'm kinda not doing well in the cutting down of soda part of my pledge, because I've had so many parties and outings recently. I need to drive harder to lessen my soda intake. Help me!

From all the entries I've received, I was able to choose 2 winners - 1 at random via Random.org and another as what I deem to be the best entry.

Happy 100th year De La Salle, my alma mater

June 16, 2011 saw the gathering of thousands of Lasallians to celebrate the 100th year of De La Salle. The whole campus and the vicinity of Taft Avenue were painted green as all De La Salle systems come as one to witness a memorable commemoration of what St. John Baptist De La Salle has started a hundred years ago.

My events group Digicon Events Management is so honored to have been commissioned to do several events in line with the celebration. With a straight 18-hours work from Laguna and less than 5 hours of sleep, I went straight to DLSU to help in preparation. It didn't feel like a burden at all.

Better tech begets lazier humans

An amazing transformation – that’s what technology has become over the years. A lazy generation – that’s what we are today.

The ability to access the Internet and electronic devices on a daily basis has definitely made us so relaxed and complacent. It has almost made our generation regress at an inverse relationship to innovation.

Not to be misinterpreted, I love my tablet, mp3 player, mobile phone and laptop. In fact, you can ask the BlackBerry sitting comfortably beside me. The concern is not much on the technology itself but the over use and over application of it.

Salute to the General's Lechon

The General is out of office for a night of eating, drinking and celebration. The battleground was filled with people who weren't required to wear fatigues, but rather to bring a tummy ready to devour three freshly prepared and cooked lechon.

Last June 9, we were welcomed by Bryan Ong and his wife Lynn to their humble abode in Paranaque to have a taste test of General's Lechon, an original from San Carlos City (Negros Occidental). Thanks to Anton of Our Awesome Planet and Spanky for extending the invitation to us.

The first time I got to chew on a sample of General's Lechon was in last month's Yummy Eats. With that small piece, I knew it had potential to make it big. Perhaps you're wondering why "General's" lechon? I'll save that for later.

Listerine Total Care Challenge Week 3: Smile and Make Smiles

I look up to people who always carries a smile whenever they talk or say something. Well, we all know smiling makes us look younger and it prevents aging fast. But aside from that, smiling really makes other people smile also. It's contagious in a good way. Are you one of those people?

Admittedly, I'm not a very smiley person. It's often in times of fun and laughter that you'd see me smile - perhaps that's why other people think I'm a snob or intimidating, but I'm just a serious person. I wish I were born with more wit and humor, but I understand the Creator has His own plans for me.

Better Worship Leading to be taught in Hillsong Music Conference

Were you part of the 14,000 people who came and worshiped the Lord at the Hillsong United Aftermath concert in Araneta Coliseum last June 2? I was! Thank God for that blessed night where I had the time to just sing my heart out and praise Him through music.

Perhaps not many of you know that I lead worship in my church -- Grace Gospel Church -- once a month. It started once every two months in 2010, but later on became a monthly thing. Being one isn't all about singing and leading skills. It requires me to constantly seek higher learning from God and build a better relationship with Him day after day.

There's something coming in July that will surely be helpful for worship leaders like me, as well as church leaders and musicians. Read on below:

Listerine Total Care Challenge Week 2: My pledge for better oral care

Recap from last week, my task was to visit a dentist to have my pre-dental check-up. There I was asking the dentist on how my teeth and gums were. After consultation, I went straight home and started using Listerine Total Care mouthwash.

Admittedly, the challenge is really challenging. After a year of not used to including floss and mouthwash in my daily oral routines, I had to adjust my preparation time and routine efforts in order to really follow through the challenge.

From the day that I've started, I really felt the difference. When I floss after brushing, I still am able to scoop some dirt from in-between teeth, which really means that brushing is not enough. After every mouthwash rinsing, my mouth feels fresher and my teeth feeling more matte on the inside. I'm glad that Listerine Total Care helps reduce plaque buildup that often leads to serious oral problems.
