Many people have noticed they can now buy 500 and 1000 peso loads for Globe and Smart on Aryty.com. These loads not only save you time from having to load more often but they also have 60 day expiration time.
If you have a roaming phone from the Philippines, use an OFW Globe SIM card or need to reload your Smart OFW SIM the 500 peso and 1000peso load keep your sim loaded so you don’t have to worry about the sim being deactivated from load running out. All Globe loads you buy on Aryty.com use the Globe AutoLoadMax system so you’re loaded right away. Smart is eload as well so no need to wait for your load. Why hassle buying reload cards when you can buy load using Aryty.com!
Remember all loads work for Touch Mobile and Addict Mobile. Think how happy your loved ones will be with 500 or 1000 peso load!
The Macy’s Day Parade in NYC is a Thanksgiving Day tradition. Every year there are appearances of marching bands from around the country, famous ballons and celebrity performances.
This year is especially notable for Filipino’s as Charice Pempengco, the young singing sensation from the Philippines performed atop her own float! This honor is reserved only for the creme de la creme and further signifies Charice having made it! From Ellen to Oprah, performing live with Celine Dion and now riding down Broadway in the Macy’s Parade this gifted superstar is truly a force to be reckoned with!

While buying a Charice album or telling your friend “shhhhhhhh Charice is singing” might make you a fan I definitely think snapping a picture from TV makes you one! I’m guilty. Congratulations Charice! We are all proud of you!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved one’s from all of us at Aryty!
Jay-R’s popularity continues to soar with Filipinos around the world being heralded as the Prince of R&B.
A true multi-talent performer, Jay-R is an actor, singer and model. Whether appearing on a Bench billboard or hosting SOP on GMA this Kapuso favorite is here to stay. Jay-R got his start in LA where he grew up performing in the group First Impression. From there he launched his solo career in the Philippines and the rest is history!
I first saw Jay-R perform live in Vegas last year during Kapuso Fever and he was definitely a crowd favorite. I can’t wait to see him perform again live this Saturday at the Back2Back Concert in Atlantic City with Pops Fernandez, Kris Lawrence and Geneva Cruz!
This Thanksgiving weekend, November 29th Pops Fernandez will be performing with an all star lineup in the Back2Back concert at the Trump Taj Mahal!
The Divalicious Concert Queen Pops Fernandez will be performing with a roster of A List performers from the Philippines including Geneva Cruz, Zsa-Zsa Padilla, Jay-R and Kris Lawrence! Comedy King Dolphy will also be performing to enhance the evening. Aryty is proud to be a sponsor of the event and you can bet I will be sitting front row!

Jan Maghinay Padios is a Ph.D student at NYU researching Filipino consumer culture. She is working with Aryty this summer as part of her research so make sure to say Kamusta if you see her!

As a Ph.D student researching Filipino consumer cultures for my dissertation, I found that working with Aryty at the Pinoy Musik
Festival was both energizing and informative. Although I helped the Aryty team give away promos like free load and Globe SIM cards, and prepare for signings by Fil-Am star Sam Milby, I also kept my eyes and ears open for ways to answer some of the questions that organize my research.
For example, through Aryty, I am learning how a company markets to Filipinos. What strikes me about Aryty is the way “transnational” Filipinos have become an important part of their market. By “transnational,” I mean that people have ties to more than one nation. For example, many Filipinos that I know work and live in the United States, but send money “home” so that a niece or nephew can go to school or a brother or sister can build a house. These are all transnational ties, since it means that Filipinos in one location are involved in the lives (and drama rin, di ba?) of family and friends in the Philippines.
It seems to me that the desire to keep these ties together helps foster new systems – and cultures - of communication, which is why the business of selling long-distance airtime is so huge, and why roaming SIM cards are becoming more popular. But, I’ve also got to ask: how did all this happen in the first place? How did the telecommunications industry get to be such a powerhouse in the Philippines and how are American companies getting linked into it ? Who have been the leaders in the industry, and what makes their business so successful? What laws, market forces, and technological changes made growth in Philippine telecom possible? I think these are important questions to ask because I believe such changes have an impact on culture, which in turn affects what business leaders do. Aryty.com, for example, was launched in response to Philippine texting culture, which emerged because of changes in the Philippine telecom industry. So, how do market forces and culture work together in the twenty-first century?
Yes, believe it or not, these were some the thoughts running through my brain this weekend, even as I was blowing up Aryty balloons and taking pictures of Sam Milby’s and MYMP’s adoring fans.
We finally got all of the pictures of Sam Milby online today from the Pinoy Musik Festival. Many fans got a chance to meet & greet Sam in the Aryty booth on Sunday and get photo opp as well! Those photos are all posted online in our Flickr account (www.flickr.com/aryty) waiting for you to grab and post them on your Friendster!
