Remember that 90’s commercial line “Ikaw,ba ay nalulungkot? Walang nakausap at nababagot?” This was the famous line of product, which I barely recall but we can all relate with this especially when boredom strikes at home, in the office or while commuting and without anyone we can talk to is very hard. Thank God for the invention of mobile phones for gaming apps and video sites like YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion and Viewstream. And speaking of video apps and sites, SMART launches affordable video bundles where we can watch our favorite parody channels, music video and more wherever we are. And for only Php 5 you can watch 15 minutes worth of videos from YouTube equivalent to 65MB of data. Just text Youtube5 to 9999 and the bundle is valid for just one day.
With 15 minutes, I can watch 3-4 music videos already of my favorite singers or 5 Buzzfeed clips on YouTube. While other video on the go bundles also include YouTube25 that offers 160MB of data for 35 minutes for only Php 25, valid for one day. YouTube50 comes with 400MB of data for 90 minutes of standard definition video streaming for only Php50 and valid over three days. And lastly, for heavy users like me who loves watching videos on YouTube, the YouTube199 that is valid for 30 days comes with 270 minutes of standard definition video streaming for only Php 199. That gives me a total of 90 Buzzfeed 3 minutes maximum of total running time (TRT), 50-58 music videos of my favorites artists with 4-5 min. TRT or 27-30 tutorial videos with 8-10 min. TRT
