Pong Soundtrip: Stevie Hoang 🎤

Hello! 💆
It's been a sickly (clogged nose) weekend to date - bummer! Am feeling better now though. 👃👊

Just wanted to share the songs that I listen to. I listen to different genres - from punk, reggae, alternative, pop, edm, rnb, soul, love songs etc - I can be as flexible as possible simply because I love music and I love singing too. Today, it's Stevie Hoang's Day. I've been listening to this guy since 2010 - my Verizon and PeopleSupport Days. A colleague introduced his song Addicted to me back then and yeah, I got addicted to it and I loved it and I still do! I'll Be Fine is such a fine song too. Just couple of days ago, I fell in love with Just in Case. ❤

His songs convey almost the same meaning - hope. But who gives up on love, right? One thing's for sure, am a hopeless romantic too. Some people may think that I am strong - yes I am, but those who know me, can attest to it that am such a cry baby too. 

Anyway, I just feel the need to share and I hope you enjoy his songs too! Am listening to him right now while at work. 💕

Pong Travels: STKD - Cebu 🌊🌴

Hello! 😌

It's a beautiful Saturday morning and am still at work! Bummer! Still have loads to do. (managed to still post a blog though) lol. 👊

Bound for Cebu later around 4P to see the Whale Sharks and the Kawasan Falls. No Canyoning/Canyoneering for me as my ortho is out of the country and poor me, I do not have my clearance yet. It's going to be my second time in Cebu and maybe, next year, I would be able to tick Canyoneering off my bucket list. February? We'll see. Looking forward though. 👀

Right now, I still have 4 on my to-do list, phone is charging, GoPro is charging and am leaving some stuff here in the office to make my pack a bit lighter. 👌

Papa sent me packing earlier - kidding. Thanks sa paghatid, Pa!  ♥

Will blog about it when I get back! #pongtravels #tortoiseadventures #pongtograpiya is back!!! Woohoo!!!

Are you ready to get stoked? Tara!

Pong Thoughts: Quik Pod Go Pro Pole for Lefties

Hello!! 😎



About two weeks ago, I purchased a Quik Pod Sport Pole (click link for my blog post), but had issues with the safety tether (the location of it) as it has to be stretched way too long so the pole and the mount will meet halfway. Had to consult several GoPro users on how to do it, but all responses lead to the same instructions included in the pack.
Sent Quik Pod - PH a message and they said that it's a design flaw and they will raise the concern; hence the video below. I truly appreciate it from them! I love Quik Pod - PH na. Hehe. Am not a lefty, but this definitely helped. ☺

Pong Thoughts: QuikPod Sport Camera Pole

Hello-hello! 😌

After contemplating, a lot of Google searching, gathering suggestions and recommendations from my fellow GoPro users, and from a lot of other people, finally, I have found the pole that I want after I had the first pole broken. It's the Quik Pod Sport! Sweet. 👄

At PHP2399, you will get all of these! 

Last Sunday, my sister and I went to Makati to search and check for a pole. We went to Greenbelt, The Landmark, Glorietta and SM. We heard Mass at the The Landmark too. ⛪

Quik Pod Sport is light weight and I just love the rubber grip, perfectly fits my hand. Yay! 😉 And, it has this built-in selfie mirror which is perfect so you can better see if your photo is in the center. And it can be used not only for your GoPro or action camera, but also for your smart phones and other cameras. Sharing some snaps and description of each. Hope this helps! Adventure toime! 😎
