ReMINEd App for iOS : A Great App to Help us Forgetfuls

Tekkie Tekkie Muna (Christmas is nearing, and lubos kaming nagmamalasakit sa inyo at sa inyong loved ones), did you know that there's an app that can help you "organize" your life by reminding you of your goals, wants or desires....before you squander all your paycheck on unnecessary and trivial things. This neat app will help you set your priorities which I believe is truly what everyone needs right now.

There is so much temptations out there, that the materialistic us would want to buy almost any cool gadget, shiny jewelry, impressive outfit, stunning collectibles, etc. that we often forget our real needs. We also forget to appreciate our loved ones and neglect that we also should be sharing some thoughtful gifts to them.


The season of giving is fast approaching. We all want to give out the best gifts for our loved ones and for ourselves. But, let's admit it that all year round we have those nifty items suddenly popping in our heads; when we go to the mall, when we surf the net, etc.  We covet for a spanking new item that caught our eyes: a fancy dress, a lavish sports car, or a posh dream house. Sounds impossible to have that? There is an app that is created to help us reach our goals by reminding us the amount we need to get that special something.

ReMINEd app, created by Applabs Digital Studios Inc. will help us desire, visualize, prioritize, and attain our goals. It contains a MINE box that stores unlimited number of wants, deadline when you are going to get it and a note on how you will be able to achieve it right on schedule.

ReMINEd app for iOS is up for downloads!

ANNOUNCEMENT:

WE wish to advise all concerned that our upcoming “Funtas-TECH Warehouse Sale and Info-tainment Expo” earlier scheduled on November 30-December 1, 2012 is being postponed to March 1-3, 2013.

This is not an easy decision, but due to unexpected turn of events and in the interest of the majority of our sponsors, event partners and exhibitors, we have to postpone the said event slated at the New Megatent in Libis, Quezon City.

Many of our exhibitors have requested for the resetting of this much-awaited event for the following reasons:

• They need ample time to prepare and consolidate stocks
• They are now busy preparing for their launching for 2013 items

This could cause possible inconvenience to some of our valued sponsors, event partners and exhibitors. In recognition of your continuing patronage and loyalty, we shall commit to make your forthcoming events bigger, better, and more value-adding. The postponement to the first quarter of 2013 shall also allow us to prepare more fun activities for you during the event. This will also provide us more than ample time to promote and market the event and ensure more patronage for our valued exhibitors. The new schedule shall definitely allow our exhibitors great venue and timing for them to dispose of their off-season stocks while launching their new items and lines.
