SULITCOMBO30A for TM/Globe subscribers

Yesterday was the last day for SULITCOMBO15A promo period based from the last message I have received from TM. However, TM notified me through a text message about SULITCOMBO30A. I don't know if this is offered to everyone but the message says that it is exclusive for me. If you have received a similar message below, then you are qualified to avail with the promo. For those who haven't received this message, you can try and check if you can avail. The same as with SULITCOMBO15A, my prediction is that another promo notification might be sent once the promo period indicated is over.

Compared with the regular promos of TM I usually used like ASTIGCOMBO15A, SULITCOMBO15A is superior. 

As indicated in the name, "SULIT"COMBO15A is indeed "worth it" combination promo of texts and calls. 

Here's how to register:

1) Type SULITCOMBO30A

2) Send to 8888

To check balance, text TMREW to 8888.

Enjoy: 

500 texts to TM/Globe and 120 minutes (2 hours) of calls to TM/Globe valid for 2 days.

(The promo period should be stated in the text message like Mar26-28 with a maximum of 2 registration within the time frame.) 

Below is the content of the message sent by TM:

"Sulit ang P30 mo sa astig na call and text combo na exclusive para sayo! May 500 texts ka na, may 120 minutes pantawag pa, all to TM/Globe and valid for 2days. Kaya register na from Mar 26 - 28, text SULITCOMBO15A to 8888. Max of 2 registrations only. This is a free advisory. P527b-2."

Register SULITCOMBO15A for TM/Globe Subscribers

For more than 2 weeks, I've been using SULITCOMBO15A for my TM number. I think this should also work for Globe subscribers. It started when TM sent me a message for 7 days promo of SULITCOMBO15A. It was extended for almost 3 weeks now.

I'm not sure if this is exclusive for some users only for some reasons, but you could give this a try.

How to register SULITCOMBO15A:

1) Text SULITCOMBO15A

2) Send to 8888

Enjoy 100 minutes of TM/Globe calls and 300 texts to TM/Globe for 1 day.

Mechanical Engineering September 2012 Board Exam Results

There are no better words I could describe how I feel right now than "in great happiness" for all those who passed the recently concluded board examination for Mechanical Engineering graduates. Moreover, it makes me feel glad because all three of my new friends have passed the examination. They've waited, we'll I'd better say we've all waited for the results and finally after a week and a day, it has been released. It might have later than expected but the great thing is that they passed!. And it was the most important and exciting part! 

It has always been part of my dreams in life to take an Engineering exam and have an Engineering license from PRC because we don't have that opportunity as Computer Engineering graduates. Although, I never regretted being one because I'm happy with where I am right now but it makes me look back when I had the choice of going for Computer or Mechanical Engineering once, what could have been the difference. I can only wonder. Every time a friend of mine passes an Engineering board exam, it always inspires me again to, hopefully, realize that dream of being one someday. But as of now, I share the joy felt by my friends and I wish good luck for my friends who will take the board examination for other Engineering courses.

Congratulations to my friends and to all of those who passed. Good luck in your next journey, for the job hunting!

I also congratulate the passers from my Alma Mater for having a nice performance! It also makes me feel proud to share the joy of your achievement.
