The dawn of coolness

I learned about some cool people and stuffs this past week... I just wish to share...

So there's a lot of e-commerce sites all over the world. The Philippines is picking up as well. Over the weekend, I learned about two e-commerce sites. One is Kosmos.com.ph  It's a great alternative to Lazada and Zalora. The have digital, lifestyle, fashion, beauty, and fitness products - a wide range that is. You can also pay in various ways - paypal, credit card, Globe GCash, Smart Money, cash on delivery, and direct bank deposit. Heck, they accept installment!!!

Another e-commerce site is galleon.ph (and I'm personally more interested with this). Galleon.ph sells a wide array of products that are not available in the Philippines. Ok so perhaps, you'd say that you can buy in Amazon or other international e-commerce websites so why choose galleon? Galleon has quick delivery considering that products will be coming from other countries. Plus - they have some really cool stuffs like raspberry pi. I don't know about you guys but I didn't know about raspberry pi until I saw it in galleon. Raspberry Pi is a small sized computer and when i say small it really is small... pocket sized!

I was privileged to meet the founder of both Kosmos and Galleon last weekend. One day I want to be as entrepreneurial as him. I also want to be as frugal which I highly doubt I could be haha

So another thing that I find cool is box.com (thanks to my classmates). It's a cloud-based technology where you can store your files - any kind - share it easily, comment, and revise without downloading and uploading again. If you sign up, you have free 5 GB space. Sharing is also made available on mobile devices. Yes, you can use your smartphones. More and more businesses are availing of box instead of Microsoft's sharepoint. Aaron Levie is the founder of box and he came up with the idea because he lost his USB once, along with the files of course.
