JOEY Markville Giveaway



If you follow me on Twitter you know that I love Joey Restaurants. I frequent the Joey Restaurants because I enjoy the atmosphere and their menu. Joey Restaurant has 4 locations in Ontario with the newest one located in Markham: JOEY Markville

I've always had a great time at any of their locations. Food is great, the staff are beautiful-they really are and it's just a great vibe. If you're looking for a place that is not a club but cool to just chill and enjoy great company and food, JOEY's is your place. JOEY reminds me of a Vegas style restaurants. There is an energy and warm feel to the place. I recently visited the newly opened JOEY Markville location and it has all the same features and feel of the other locations. I encourage you to visit and get a sense of the vibe at the new location. JOEY Markville is located at 1247-5000 Highway 7 East, Markham, Ontario.
Great crowd at JOEY Markville


If you need any help on choosing some great dishes or drinks, here are my choices:

Gringo Ice Cap-Beer with slush

Japanese Gyoza

Mashed potato spring rolls

Ahi Tuna Club

Baked to Order Apple Pie

This is my go to choices when I visit JOEY Restaurants. On a side note stay tuned for the launch of JOEY Eaton Centre Private Dining Area. Coming very soon!

Enjoy a bottle of wine with the meat board. Great for sharing.

The mashed potato spring rolls are my favourite. Must try it.



I'm not sure but this might be new and exclusive to Markville location. Key Lime Pie. Spray the lemon.

Thanks to JOEY Restaurants, I will giveaway a $100 Gift Card to JOEY Markville. Tweet me to WIN!

Haiyan Twitter Fundraiser for Red Cross Canada.


One of the largest typhoons to hit the Philippines happened recently on November 6th, 2013. It is known as Typhoon Haiyan or as "Yolanda" in the Philippines. This Typhoon Haiyan has devastated a region consisting of numerous islands and left many fellow filipinos helpless and displaced from their homes. The early media reports are reporting over 10,000 dead while current documents state about 2,000 dead. No matter what the final count is, it is truly a catastrophe of the human race and I am personally saddened to witness numerous accounts being shared on the news, word-of-mouth, and through social media… this is my family homeland.

I have been sending messages through my social channels and have also made a monetary donation but still feel like I need to do more. I wish I could be in the Philippines to give support in anyway possible but that is not a reality at this time. The only way I feel i can help is by raising funds to support the relief efforts. I have chosen the Red Cross Canada as the organization in which I will donate 100% of the proceeds raised through my 5 day Twitter initiative. It's a small contribution given the magnitude of the devastation… but every little bit counts!!

                                                Before and After Google Images of Tablucan in Philippines.

I will giveaway 1 custom t-shirt everyday for the next 5 days to the highest bidder on Twitter every night at 9pmET. All you have to do is tweet me at @clickflickca with your bid amount with the hashtag #HaiyanTO1.. the next day will be #HaiyanTO2

Example Twitter Bid: @clickflickca My bid is $25.00 #HaiyanTO1

The highest bid amount each day will get a custom tshirt with their Twitter name on the back and a full tax receipt received via email immediate after the donation via email. My goal is to raise at least $500 total which in place will be matched by the Canadian government. This monetary donation will help Red Cross fulfill relief efforts in the Philippines. If you cannot support monetarily, please help by retweeting or spreading the message around. This is just as helpful so that people become aware that their is a need for help. I hope you can support in any way that you can. Maraming Salamat!

The highest bid at 9pmET will fill out donation on this link: Donation

The winner can send me a screenshot or email of their tax receipt to receive their custom tshirt. Thanks again for your support. If you do not want to bid for a tshirt but just want to donate and support,  Canadians can help by donating to the Canadian Red Cross fund All 100% of funds will go to support the Haiyan efforts. Red Cross Canada has 100% transparency with donations. You can also text REDCROSS to 30333 and a $5 donation will be sent.

The PhoneSoap Charger



Did you know that your cell phone is 18 times dirtier than your toilet? We all use our smartphones everyday and enjoy the functionality of our devices. We wake up and the first thing most people do is check their phones in the morning. We live in a connected world but have you ever thought about the cleanliness of your smartphone? Watching the video above gave me the goosebumps because it's really gross right? All these phones have bacteria and germs. We just can't see it through normal human sight. Yuck!




Recently I had the opportunity to review PhoneSoap Charger. What is PhoneSoap Charger? PhoneSoap Charger is a cell phone charger that sanitizes your phone. Two powerful UV-C lights eliminate harmful household germs such as cold and flu. The video pretty much explains the details of this product. Attach your phone with your charger and insert into the unit and let it do it's thing for about 5 mins. Voila! You have a clean phone. Honestly I do not see anything different but according to the PhoneSoap folks it kills 99.9% of the bacteria.


PhoneSoap Polish is another product from PhoneSoap. It is an oleo-phobic screen coating that repels fingerprints. Apply it on your phone by using the stick and smudging it with your fingers. For best results it takes over 24hrs. I did not see a big difference or change with this use but maybe i'm a clean guy already. You can view the products at the link below for more details.
