Holy Week

by Clarissa

Today marks the beginning of Holy Week in the Philippines. This is a favorite time of Filipino’s to take a vacation and head to the beaches of Boracay or Cebu. I only wish I could go too!

Sunset in Bora. Napakagaling!

Make sure to send your loved one some load this Easter Weekend. Holiday text will be in the air!

A New Day in Mobile Search

by Clarissa

Google released a shiny new version of their mobile search today and I must say it’s really sweet!

There are lots of cool new features but the one I like most is the way prior search locations are stored and used for future searches. This feature allows you to avoid having to enter your zipcode each time you want to find a movie or check the weather since it will automatically use the last zipcode you entered on a prior query.

Even their Icecream is good! :)
It's-It Google Collab

I admire what a great job Google does at building effective tools that are really simple to use. Congrats on this release to Yael, a good friend and Product Manager on the Mobile Team! Now I know she really has been busy. ;-) Nice one mare!

Read all about the new mobile search functionality here on Yael’s blog post.

Viva Las Vegas

by Clarissa

Rimon (our V.P. of Engineering) and I were in Las Vegas the last few days at the Merchant Risk Council 5th Annual Conference. While it was long days spent learning about new ways to prevent fraud and exchanging ideas with others we did have some time to check out some of the sites too.

Here’s the water show at the Bellagio. Grabe!

Texting in the Cold

by Clarissa

The weather in New York has finally gotten nasty. The temperature is down to 13°F but it feels like -1°F with the wind chill. Ang lamig!

On my walk home from the office tonight i came across a unique problem. Texting! After sending one text my fingers were so numb I couldn’t even feel the keys on my Nokia. It was like trying to chew gum with a mouth full of novocaine!

Ey mare, try texting in these! :p

FortunatelyAryty thought ahead to let you send load to any Globe, Smart or Sun phone in the Philippines using text OR your computer so you never have to worry about being stuck in the cold!

Aryty at Work

by Clarissa

We’re hard at work on our next feature release. New tools to make it even easier to send load to the Philippines.

Aryty Labs

Here’s a picture of Ivan doing his thing. No recruiters please :)

Magpasalubong Ka Ng Jollibee!

by Clarissa

Japan has a reputation for leading the world in mobile innovations. While if todays news out of DoCoMo is any indication of things to come for mobile culture in the Philippines break out the gravy!

DoCoMo which is Japan’s largest carrier announced they are partnering with McDonalds to let you pay for your Happy Meal and get promos using your DoCoMo mobile phone . Totoo ito! Fries and keitai!

So I was thinking….maybe Aryty should do a tie up with Jollibee! Instead of sending load to the Philippines you could use Aryty to send a Chickenjoy or crispy fries! Anong sa tingin mo?? haha

Lucky Load

by Clarissa

Chinese New Year is finally here. If you didn’t have time to send a red envelope back home to why not send a load with Aryty? Instead of lucky money you can just send them some lucky load!

Talagang cute ito!!! Saya saya naman :)

Valentine’s Text

by Clarissa

Make sure you send some load and a text message to your loved one for Valentine’s Day! Here’s a few of the SMS I received early this morning from +63 :)

Love is the best music in the score of life. Without it, one would forever be out of tune in the immense choir of humanity. HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!

I would rather have one rose and a kind word from a friend while I am here that a truck load when I’m gone. Hapi VDday!

A VALENTINE’S PRAYER: “Lord, because life is patient, help me to be sloe to judge, but quick to listen. Hesitant to criticize, but eager to encourage, help me always to remember your endless patience with me” Amen

,.+”"-., ,.-”"+., Happy Valentines, a message from my “HEART” a place where I keep special people like “YOU”

Maligayang araw ng mga puso, mga minamaha!

Happy Valentine’s Day!
