How to plan when things don’t go your way
BrandedUp in partnership with
Sometimes, life throws us a curveball. We can dodge it or perhaps, even catch it—accept the situation and roll with it. Setbacks are only temporary, and plans not going our way can happen to anyone.
This includes modern life mentors, content creators Jo Sebastian, Icoy Repadas, and Jax Reyes, who all had their share of misfires or delayed dreams. Tapped by Globe’s SIM-only portfolio, the All-New GPlan Plus, as its new brand ambassadors, the three show us how to bounce back, albeit with baby steps, and make the most out of a seemingly unpleasant experience.
On wellness: Add, not restrict.
Turning lemons into lemonades is dietitian Jo Sebastian’s superpower. She knows too well that while having good nutrition is the ultimate goal, there are days that we cannot push ourselves to the kitchen to prepare healthy meals. “Sometimes you gotta order out when you’re not feeling making your own food, that’s okay,” she said in one of her videos, having ordered chicken inasal from a fastfood. “And for fiber, we have some boiled broccoli, because we’re adding, not restricting.”
Her understanding of the complexities of eating habits and her ability to adapt plans to individual needs align perfectly with Globe’s latest sim-only postpaid plan, the All-New Globe GPlan Plus, which offers flexible plans tailored to people’s evolving needs. Those who find themselves having a working lunch in the office or just got too busy with other chores to cook at home can swap 3GB of data for unlimited access to Grab’s Grabfood and Foodpanda using the GlobeOne app. They can also get a P100 voucher from Pick.A.Roo for veggies by swapping it with their 3GB of data.
On cooking: Enjoy your dishes even if it isn’t perfect.
Icoy Repadas is a multihyphenate home cook—he fronts the rock band Lions and Acrobats, and previously held an executive role in an esports company. Now known for his introspective short-form videos on cooking, Repadas’ charm includes being candid when things don’t go his way in the kitchen.
“Medyo overcooked siya pero pwede na ‘yan,” he narrated in his French omelette cooking video. “Masaya lang ako na hindi siya dumikit sa pan.”
It is the diverse aspects of Repadas’ urban living that made him a great match for the All-New GPlan Plus. Every month, subscribers can also make do with what was left of their data to swap it with telco services, content subscriptions, unlimited access to ride-hailing apps, and vouchers from e-commerce sites and courier services. Indeed, this postpaid plan is suited best for the jacks and janes of all trades.
On travel: Be compassionate while traveling
Jax Reyes is the go-to-guy for all money tips and travel advice so it might be hard to think he has experienced setbacks in his trips. Sharing that he once boarded a plane with a crying baby, the content creator reminded fellow passengers to be more understanding.
“May I just remind you na hindi natin pagmamay-ari ang eroplano. And number 2, guys kung stressed na tayo sa ingay, I’m sure doble o triple ang stress ng nanay at tatay ng baby na ‘yun,” Reyes said. He advised his followers to show more compassion, wear noise-cancelling headphones, and for future trips, check where babies are located in the plane’s seat plan.
To get those headphones and other travel essentials, the All-New Globe GPlan Plus subscribers can swap their unused data for e-vouchers on Lazada. Trade your 1GB of data for a P40 discount, 2GB for P60, and 2GB for P80 with corresponding minimum Lazada spend.
