Photobook Philippines discounted deals (Review)

Most of us treasured memories being together with our family, thus photo album making became a part of every household member, whether digital or the traditional scrap-booking type. I'm one of those who keep records of any occasion, travel, and life event I had for decades. Gone are the days you need to buy films, batteries, and flash bulbs for your camera and let the professionals do the job of developing your roll into beautiful crafted pictures. Digital camera was born and you will no longer pay for the cost of unwanted photos. Thanks to our technology, life makes it easier.

Today, preserving your photos is like fashion trending for new styles and colors. Photobook was introduced by several companies competing with each other and offering different promotions. The deal from MetroDeal offered 75% savings which is too good to be true. You can create your own personalized softcover photobook for P500 instead of paying P2,000. It was proven that the more discounts given, the more people will buy as evident for 2,888 who purchase the service. I was amazed of the offer and grab my voucher. 
Photobook according to Wikipedia is a book in which photographs make a significant contribution to the overall content.



After installing the software, I created an online account and started designing my own photobook. Page styles, frames, backgrounds, and designs vary according to your needs and themes. There are several ready books also to choose from for different book size and style. The instructions are easy to follow and the tools are user-friendly. The software by the way is free to download and you can go back to your project anytime you want. Internet connection is not needed unless you are ready to place your order.

details of shipment
During the checkout process, you will be asked to enter your voucher code. Be mindful of the expiry date as this cannot be extended. I am near my deadline; my voucher is valid until August first, so I need to finish my other photobook. Shipping fee is not included. I paid P350 for a Medium Portrait of 40 pages Imagewrap type. Production of the album will start as soon as you have completed uploading your files. Photobook Philippines will send you email promptly acknowledging your purchase and notifying the status of your order. The service courier provided is really fast. You can track the delivery process of your order by checking the tracking code number provided to you. After three days, I already receive my photo album. The product itself is satisfying and the book binding looks good and sturdy enough to last a lifetime. My chosen cover was wrapped beautifully into a matte-laminated format. The photos are printed on a premium silk paper as stated in the fine print. I can’t deny my admiration for its glossy appeal and the smoothness it feels when you touch the pages. However, the image quality did not pass my standard. It looks very different from the one I created, lacking its radiance, dull and dim; it seems that the cartridge was almost drained from its ink. Should I deserve this kind of service in exchange of availing the product for a discounted rate? Well, I guess not.

She Took Away My Nap

Taking a nap during break time is very common in any industry, resting as you are trying to replenish your almost drained energy so you can get back on track.  A nap is a short period of sleep, typically taken during daylight hours. Napping for 20 minutes can help refresh the mind, improve overall alertness, increase productivity, and minimize mistakes and accidents. 

Most road traffic accidents we're attributed to drivers feeling sleepy while driving. Taking a short nap before driving can reduce a person's risk of being drowsy to avoid putting yourself and others being harmed. If you feel you are about to doze off when driving, you should rest immediately, drink caffeinated beverages and take a power nap. 

Working at night shifts may cause fatigue and performance impairments. Our body's automatic response is to sleep at night, making it almost sleep-deprived for those who are night shift workers. Despite being asleep the whole day, you will still feel sleepy working at night. A combination of taking naps and consuming caffeine to cope with sleepiness during graveyard shift has been found to be effective and beneficial. 

It is also believed that napping may relieve headaches. 

One of our staff created this poem for me, it's been years ago but I was able to keep a copy of this precious piece.


Once I stole a nap
While coding on a rap
Feel sleepy while on work
No jup to give a joke.

Close my eyes
My head I lay
On the table
Near the gable.

Jerking, Land, Jup, and Ceiling
All feels sleepy but laughing
'Bout the ways and mays
'Bout jokes and gags.

Ms AJ came to check
To wreck the peck
Stop the killer on the loose
Catch the thief for a snap.

But all woke up and smell her essence
Oh, my! Oh, my!
Once I stole a nap but AJ
Took it away!
