Travel Hacks

Ilocos Norte

A traveler's view on the Lenovo Q350 phone

I recently came from a 5-day trip -- touring around the majestic provinces of Ilocos Sur and Ilocos Norte. For 5 days, 1 day was spent in Vigan, 2 days in Pagudpud and 1 day in Laoag. 

Rubel and I had to start our trip early (to the airport that is) since the car was held captive at home due to coding. So we took the MRT, and then went to take the cab from Taft to NAIA Terminal 2. We were flying Philippines Airlines then, so I was super giddy about flying PAL once again. 


After checking in, we immediately looked for a vacant bench to sit on while waiting for our flight.. and to get a better view of an ongoing NBA game being televised. I, on the other hand, eventually looked for a charging outlet for my main phone (Glad that NAIA 2 had one nearby). Good thing, my Lenovo Q350 was in tow as an extra hand phone. It's radio and game features kept me company while I was charging my other phone. Moreover, the radio reception from my Lenovo Q350 was streaming normally. I was actually able to surf from one channel to another easily. :)

The Lenovo Q350 that Lenovo Philippines gave me has truly empowered me as a traveler. Not only did the radio and game features keep me sane throughout the long waiting period, I was also able to use the Notes app for jotting down itinerary details from all of our city tour's. It was so handy and was super light to carry! :)

So thanks again Lenovo Philippines for this awesome gift! :) Until our next journey together..

    I am also love bringing my laptops on travel as even of the wonders of mobile internet, there are still advantages of having a laptop with you.

    Oh it was a gift. How lucky you are. So how much is Lenovo Q350 at the market? I think travelers and people on the go should try it.

    i haven't been to vigan and would surely want to visit someday talaga.
    i don't think i can survive traveling without my electronics. kills the boredom away and really helps when i need to check out something in the net.

    cheers and more travels. :)

    That's true, Franc. I do, however, stopped bringing my laptop in all of my travels. I never get to work anyway since I'm always on the road, touring from one place to another.. :P

    Your an empowered traveler!
    Nice! If your able to take notes with it, then it will be good for me.
    Carrying small notebooks can sometimes instill curiosity with strangers when I travel

    I always wish that you may be blessed with abundance not 
    materially but spiritually so that you will pursue your dreams
    with flying colors. Great job here and you deserve this Lenovo
    hand phone. BTW... PORORO is one of KIKO's favorite show.

    Thank you so much Ms. Marri for always putting a smile on face. :) Your words are always enriching. :)

    I think it's good to have spare cellphones when travelling :) 

    I didn't know Lenovo was in cellphones too and from the picture, it seems they have Facebook and Twitter too! Coolness :)

    I didn't know either..hehe! But I was grateful enough to have one of Lenovo's phones :) And the Facebook app works but the Twitter app has been acting up since day 1.. so I haven't gotten the chance to explore much of it yet. :)
