Aryty Blog

As some of us at Aryty were working today we couldn’t help notice it wasn’t the same without all of our team back from vacation yet. So we’ve decided to start a countdown to make the time go faster.

I passed by the Adidas store in Soho the other day and saw this new Philippines track jacket. Looks great!

Hey Adidas, what took you so long!

In between checking out the sights of Kathmandu I had the chance to meet up for lunch with Bal Joshi the founder of Thamel.com. Thamel allows Nepalese abroad to buy gifts and services for their relatives living in Nepal.

It was a great exchanging ideas with Bal as both of our companies are focused on serving friends and family separated from their loved ones back home. Thamel does an amazing job providing services from birthday cake delivery to offering mortgages to buy a home in Nepal. They even take a picture of gifts being delivered to family members for their relatives to enjoy overseas. Thamel’s most unusual product is live goats which they deliver. That’s when I realized how easy the load business really is!

Piolo Pascual was at the Philippine Fiesta this weekend performing with Pops. I have to say I have never seen women scream so much at the sight of a celebrity before! As soon as Piolo entered the expo center women started screaming at the top of their lungs while chasing him down. Even the giant security guards from Serbia could barely hold the crowd back!

Crush ng bayan Piolo Pascual on the run!

It’s a tough life being chased by all the girls but someone’s gotta do it! Leave some for the rest of us Piolo.

More on Pops later.

This guest post is written by Noelle Hernandez, who is currently on break from the Philippines visiting her sister in New York City. She will be returning to Manila soon and we were fortunate to have her help us out at the Aryty booth during the PAFCOM Parade and Festival last weekend in Jersey City.

Hello to everyone reading this blog! My name is Noelle and nandito ako ngayon sa New York visiting my sister. How I met Nils and how I ended up hanging out with his team, helping them hand out fliers and balloons last Sunday, is too long a story to tell; but I’ll let you in on one thing, my Sunday was definitely a day well spent.

I mean, fiesta time sa New Jersey, ang galing diba?! The sun was out and the morning air was filled with the aroma of the tastiest Filipino dishes you can imagine, yung amoy na lagi mong malalanghap pag nagluluto si lola sa kusina back home. Kaya nakakamiss tuloy umuwi. The strip was filled with smiling faces and children running around with Aryty balloons tied to their wrists (we did such a great job handing those out!). Nakakatuwa talaga pag nakakakita ka ng mga Filipino families when they come together, everyone happy and laughing; but it was even better seeing that even non-Filipinos were enjoying pinoy culture just as much and that made me feel very proud. At saka meron palang parade with members of the community marching around in colorful maria claras and barong tagalogs, the younger girls strutting their stuff wearing their crowns and sash. ang ku-cute talaga at akakatuwa. Oh and lets not forget that we even had our very own Philippine Fiesta Idol! How cool is that? =)

I can’t say this enough, but it was really such a great day well spent! Fiestas are definitely part and parcel of Filipino culture. Through good times and bad times, fiestas will always be the tie that binds Filipino families, friends, and communities together. A celebration where we rejoice family and friendship, hindi mo na ngaminsan papansinin ang gastos para lang makapag-fiesta! haha! Pinoy na Pinoy! At para lang makasam mo yung iba mong barkada at kababayan.

Sharing this fiesta with Nils and his team made me realize at the day’s end that Aryty.com is actually celebrating a different kind of fiesta with us and for us where everybody can experience it everyday, touching base with our pinoy family and friends here and abroad through texting and even sending load. A single text can go a long way and, likewise, so can load!

This Sunday the Philippine-American Friendship Committee (PAFCOM) will be holding their annual parade and festival in Jersey City at Exchange Place. The parade will be starting at noon with exhibits open throughout the day and the Filipino Idol finals!

Look for the Aryty booth and make sure to get a free load for any prepaid Globe, Smart or Sun Cellular phone. Hope to see you there!
