The Good Performance and Looks of ZenFone Max Pro M2

Tuesday, February 12, 2019

It's time to consider solid phone performance and good looks, this is the new Zenfone Max Pro M2


Blogging everyday takes so much work and if you were in my shoes, I'm quite sure about 80% of you would quit doing this because of the sheer amount of articles you would need to dish out as soon as an event or launch happens. I am well equipped, with a huge DSLR and a powerful laptop computer but most often than not, it is a bit of a chore to actually carry it around the whole day when locations of events in Metro Manila change like shirts in a hot afternoon. 


A solution would be using a powerful phone that would be able to do the same things as my DSLR and host apps or software that I need for blogging. I currently use an iPhone but it just runs out of batteries too fast as it doesn't even last the whole day. I also use a different Android phone that takes wonderful photos but it just heats up too much when I'm editing videos or playing games every once in a while. It also runs out of batteries too so my solution is to carry a huge powerbank that weighs a ton (I might be exaggerating a little) but it won't work now that I have a back issue and my bag is pretty much always full. Carrying a phone that performs as needed, something that looks professional, something that makes you exude confidence, it's a job for the ASUS ZenFone Max Pro M2. 

The ASUS ZenFone Max Pro M2 has 1.95 GHz Octacore processor and 4GB of RAM at Php 12,995, (also has an 6GB version at PHP 14,995) all of which can do tons of work, fast and efficiently. The 64 GB storage can last you hours worth of photos and videos, you can install apps without worrying too much about what's left because it is expandable. You can put additional SD cards and chill, runs on Android 8.1 Oreo and can last you for hours on because it's powered by a 5000 mAh battery. I have tethered this all day during my recent Singapore trip and it was unbeatable. 

Taking photos was a cinch, it's colorful, pretty easy with its own editing options or via other photo editing apps. It performs at par in low light conditions, the selfie function takes you to real good looking depths and doesn't look plasticky when internal beauty features are enabled. 

It also remains as one of the most affordable at PHP 14,995, which in any standard is good for a entry-mid-range phone out in the Philippine market. The Snapdragon 660, large ram and long battery life can last you a long time even if you're playing games all day. After all, that's much of what I use this for also, for War Robots, Ragnarok, Hello Hero, and a whole lot more. 

You better consider this when you're ready to play! It looks absolutely good too, perfectly fit for executives who still want to have fun and photography on the side. I know, I enjoyed it a lot!

5 Working Selfie Tips for Selfie Addicts

Friday, August 18, 2017



I'm a photographer.  With the years of experience I've had taking shots for portraits, fashion or runway, I think I have mastered one skill every self confessed selfie addict would proudly want to have, taking selfies. I am not saying I'm the best, but I've had enough experience explaining the science behind it and what constitutes a perfect selfie. 

1. Setting the mood

Your face has tons of expressions, it can portray sadness, happiness, if you're angry or fierce. It's a canvass and all you have to do is fill that up with the mood you want to express. Start practicing with mirrors because it's one fool proof way of seeing yourself right before someone else sets you up for a shot. You can't be happy if you're in a graveyard, nor can you laugh loudly when inside a church. Take the initiative to check which goes where because the last thing you need is a place to take the attention away from your face, remember, this is your show so don't forget to set the mood before immortalizing yourself in photos.

2. Look at the Light

The face is not an artsy subject so don't make it age or become too noisy by not giving it the light that it needs. Looking the light source gets that extra glisten in the eyes that makes it that remarkable windows to your soul. I've seen a lot of people fall in love with people who have gorgeous eyes, so if this is your asset, go ahead and flaunt it!

3. Use Your Angles

I do this in every photo that has been taken of me. I know I'm a little fat than usual so I have practiced a lot of times in the mirror and made sure if other people catch me in photos that I show at least what's left of my jawline. You have to know how it will show on photos and that will make you look thinner. A few pounds off photos will do you wonders and if you do the same with poses, you'll get a lot of people to complement you and say you lost a few pounds, even look taller at times.

4. Take LOTS of Shots

A smirk, a smile, a pose, couldn't be catched by one shot. Thank the heavens above for digital cameras and smart phones because as long as you have space, you can try to capture that moment. Delete quite mercilessly so you still have photos to choose from and enough memory to take more photos. 


5. Choose the right Hardware

Now that you've covered the basics, you need the more powerful hardware to do the job. Take for example Cloudfone Excite Prime 2 Pro. It's got a 20 Megapixel front camera, a great Sony IMX376 sensor, a rear and front light, dual rear cams (13 and 8 Megapixels) that can also do optical zooms. I don't think you'll have any more problems after that. Affordable, but solved your selfie problems, that's a good thing.

I hope this helps!

Why Vivo Prides Itself In Doing Group Selfies

Wednesday, June 14, 2017


If you think taking selfies are hard, it'll be a lot more difficult if you are taking a photo of a group right? Imagine your Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, your Aunts, your Uncles, your siblings, your cousins in one frame. That is a problem people have to face everytime there is a family gathering and you have to do it in one place. In the past, it'll probably be sacrificing one or more of these people and have them be cut out of he picture just to save this memory of your loved ones, this is where Vivo listens.

The latest on the V5 line called Vivo V5s boasts of a 20 Megapixel Front Camera with an F 2.0 aperture capable of catching a great amount of light so your images stay crystal clear even in difficult lighting conditions. Your selfies won't need to be attached to sticks anymore as the OS has built in camera software that can take panoramic selfies so you just take a photo in the front and swivel the phone from side to side so you cab have your friends and family fit inside the frame. That only means you don'y have to call the waiter or bother someone else when you're taking group selfie shots in a party, in a gathering or just about any event you could imagine.

Not to discount the other splendid things like 13 Megapixel Rear camera that's got an F 2.2 aperture too which you can use for Ultra HD shots up to 52 Megapixels. The OS of the phone also has got an App Cloning feature so you don't have to log in and out on different Facebook accounts, IG or Twitter if you need to use it from one brand to the other (perfect for social media managers no?)

Aside from that, it does take those other phone branda a run for their money because this phone only costs Php 14,990. Way better specs, camera and features, why shouldn't you switch phones if you are gonna get more for the same price right? 

You can decide for yourself, but think about what you will get for the same price point okay? :) oh and to answer the question, they simply do not make the task too hard for users. They pride themselves with these phones because they think about YOU. :)

Vivo V5s Still Best for Group Selfies

Thursday, June 08, 2017


Being in a selfie centric country doesn't mean we'll leave it at that. The newly launched Vivo V5s proves to be not only great in taking selfies but also good group selfies. Take into account those fun times with family and friends so you can immortalize those moments and share them digitally on the world wide web without worrying you'll look weird on photos as this packs a mighty 20 Megapixel front camera which software allows you to take group shots without leaving out a single person in the room no matter how crowded it goes because you can always fit them by panning the phone itself. 


Mind you, you can also take tons of shots without worrying that much about storage as it can be also expanded to 256GB from it's default 64GB and 4GB RAM. This feature actually puts them ahead of other competitors because you won't find similar ones that can perform at par with their software, something Vivo has been very proud of.

Now you can enjoy a better phone that takes really good selfies but never forgets how to also accomodate friends and family in the frame with the Group Selfie this Vivo V5s can do. If you want to know more about it and where to buy one, like their page at Facebook.com/VivoPhil, follow their IG and Twitter channels @vivophil too because it's all there!

You should take that shot first and experience it in their stores before you buy the newest Vivo V5s Phone. It was nice when I tried it at the SM Annex a couple of weeks ago and I'm sure you'll like it too.

How To Take Your Selfie Game Higher with Vivo V5s

Tuesday, May 30, 2017



Since they came out with the Vivo V5s, let's talk about how you can take your selfie game higher with this new phone. It's powerful hardware and internal software can benefit you if you knew how to take your selfies with less effort and more quality. Here are tips from around the internet that I've come to follow whenever I'm taking a selfie.

Use a good phone. The Vivo V5s and the whole Vivo V5 line has been garnering quite phenomenal sales over the past few years because of its extremely good hardware. Targeted for those who want to take extremely good selfies, they made the front camera of the phone better. At 20 Megapixels and an F2.0 aperture, you'll get brighter photos without any effort with low noise. Remember, the hardware is important to make this work.

Consider Beautify Options. There are phones with these functions but you should definitely consider how it actually looks like on its output. You don't want it to be plasticky, you don't want it to look like you're a doll, you still would have to look human less the imperfections, but there is such a thing as going overboard. Don't go there. Vivo V5s has Face Beauty 6.0 which you can take advantage of, put it to good use.

Always Have Proper  Lighting. The last thing you would want to have is a dark photo, you always have to make sure that before you take a photo, you have sufficient lighting. Otherwise, what is supposed to be a selfie might turn out to be a thumbprint. We're not a ballot for the elections, use the Selfie Soft Light Technology that Vivo V5s has if you need to.

Share it. We don't take photos just for self affirmation by viewing it ourselves. If you have it, flaunt it by sharing on your social media channels and let your good looks do the talking. If you want to know more about the Vivo V5s please go to Facebook.com/vivophil and follow @vivophil on their IG and Twitter accounts. They share a lot of tips there too!

A Selfie Competition for Biodiversity and Sustainable Tourism

Monday, May 15, 2017



Our country has been known to be the selfie capital of the world and if you think it's useless, this might actually change your mind.

 You see on May 22, 2017, countries around the world will be commemorating the International Day for Biological Diversity (IDB). A couple of agencies like the Biodiversity Management Bureau of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR-BMB), together with the Deutsche Gesellschaftfür Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) will be mounting a “Selfie for Biodiversity and Sustainable Tourism 2017” photo competition. The contest will start from May 3 to May 15, 2017.

The IDBD is an international recognized event mandated by the UN (United Nations) as part of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) which was signed and ratified on 1993. The pact was made to promote global awareness on biodiversity and its impact on worldwide ecosystem and how everyone should be involved in its protection. This year, they are going with the theme of "Biodiversity and Sustainable Tourism”. As I see, it's not that complicated because the photo contest will revolve around scenes showing efforts to sustain biodiversity. There are countless organizations and volunteer groups that have made this part of their lives and if you capture those moments about Philippine sustainable tourism, those Eco-tours, sights in the water, forests and wildlife, you could well win this.

Make sure you find unique plants or animals found in land, water, air. Be your own ecological hero and make this a great way to show your photography skills and help information dissemination about the cause. This is open to photographers 13 years old and above.



To join, you can use channels like Facebook or Instagram by liking the Biodiversity Challenge Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/biodiversitychallenge/ first and following the Instagram account https://www.instagram.com/selfieforbiodiversity. Then include a short description with the subject of the photo as your title, your name, age and the hashtag #selfieforbiodiversity2017 plus a short narrative of aboout 100 words on what biodiversity means to the person and how Filipinos can help conserve the Philippines rich biodiversity. Make sure you include your opinions on how YOU could take action and inspire others and perhaps the story on how the photo was shot. Your entries must be taken over the past year until the Selfie for Biodiversity contest event in May 2016. Do not submit previous entries anymore as it will be disqualified. You can only get this submitted from May 3, 2017 to noon of May 15, 2017 only, so don't be late!

The winner will get round trip airfare and accommodation for 2 (two) to any of the protected area or biodiversity areas under the jurisdiction of the DENR-BMB or a project site of the GIZ PAME Project (except the Islands of Batanes). If you want to know about these locations, just see here (https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B27p-PoO0vdPQmlNN3NzOGktX0U). You will be sent a direct message if you win the contest. To see the complete contest mechanics and other details about the contest, please visit the Selfie for Biodiversity’s official Facebook or Instagram page or contact them via their phone number 02-426 0239, 02-441 8440.

Vivo About To Reveal Addition to the Perfect Selfie V5 Line

Friday, May 12, 2017


You can capture those perfect selfies with the newest Vivo phone. It'll be launched soon!
I guess you can say Filipinos have already perfected the art of taking the perfect selfie. Although they know the basics of getting the perfect angle, the background, the smile, the moment, you can say these are just elements to take post-worthy selfies, but not entirely. I'm telling you, it's not as easy as it looks. It's the same reason that people are looking for smartphones that are equipped with those selfie features, because most often than not, they are still not satisfied with the current ones they have in the market. Smartphone manufacturers have done thorough research in making that perfect selfie phone, making each one equipped with hardware capable of high resolution photos even in front cameras just so you could look good, feel good and get that good looking face online without any hitches.

Top 5 Global brand VIVO has been doing this in the last few years, and it looks like they are not stopping. You know they've already released the perfect selfie V5 phones like the V5, V5 Plus and V5 lite. They're adding a rumored 20 megapixel capable front camera phone, so you could take those perfect selfies up a notch this May. Not only that, they are talking about updated selfie softlights so those poor light conditions can go away whenever you want to play. Add to that a 13 megapixel rear camera that can capture beautiful landscapes, take photos of your friends, without worrying your selfies are even better. It even has an ultra-high definition mode capable of doing 52 megapixel photos, are you drooling?

I heard the full details of this phone will be released during the big reveal, oh I can't wait! Make sure you check out www.vivo.com/ph and their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/VivoPhil. You can also follow them on Instagram @vivophil and Twitter @vivo_phil if you haven't yet!

How to Take Perfect Summer Selfies with VIVO V5 Plus

Tuesday, April 18, 2017



This is an article I'm writing not with severe authority but merely tips that I've gathered over the years for one activity that Filipinos love so dearly, that's taking selfies! Oh no, don't tell me you haven't taken one a few days ago, because you've been doing it secretly I know (even if no one is looking!). So I'm gonna give you a few pointers on how to do it this summer! 

Take Photos with Enough Lighting

Take those shadows, those super dark places out of the equation. It makes your images dark (obviously) and your shots noisy, that's why you see those grainy stuff on it when you see the output. Your phone's ISO is powerful on the Vivo V5 Plus but normal digital phones can only do so much so make sure you compensate your shots with external light sources or make sure it's powerful enough to handle it. The product is YOU after all and you can't show people a half baked shot. There are cases already that can even do that now so invest if you have to, if the flash is not enough because it'll be worth it. The 20 Megapixels and dual camera also helps!

Stay Colorful!

There are times when cold and dark works but man, it's already summer. Take advantage of the season when it's legal to dress up colorful. Make those OOTD's pop like you mean it and if it's a selfie, take it up a notch and make it equally lovely. Do the same with make up, or smoothen it out, or make your shots a little saturated than usual because it's supposed to be fun, don't shortchange yourself with that.

Bring it to the Beach

If it's a sem break, or you're in transition to another school year, take the opportunity to feel the sand in your feet and the salty wind in your hair. Make sure you wear sunblock and lots of strides in the shore. Wear your summer outfits because those bikinis will surely get the guys drooling (only if you're a lady! Lol). Make them work for what you've spent all those hours in the gym and flaunt it on every selfie. Those abs might prove a better alternative to a great beach scene too. You're worth it!

Have Fun!

Take your selfie experience up a notch by always having fun taking photos. If possible, take WEfies with friends because you can. It's more fun with a group, it's better to keep those memories and immortalize them later on in Facebook or just about any social media channel you're in to. As long as it's taken with a Vivo V5 Plus, you're good to go! 

Take my selfie tips with a grain of salt and be spontaneous! It's absolutely free to go anywhere, take that shot as long as you're not in danger (yes there have been cases lol). Though be sure you've got the perfect hardware to do it and not some other half hearted phone in the market, because you can take perfect selfies with Vivo V5 Plus. Buy it in leading phone shops and malls nationwide!

#NoFilter selfie with Vivo V5 Plus

Saturday, February 11, 2017



There are tons of people who always use the hashtag #NoFilter on their social media posts but look like plastic already because of the tons of filters they use just to look good. It's cringeworthy, but forgive them for they do not know what they are doing. Now it's actually possible, Vivo introduced the V5 Plus. Dubbed as the Perfect Selfie Phone, it boasts of a 20 MP front camera making it the most capable phone to take vividly sharp photos of this magnitude, a first in the world!

They got tips to make it even better and I'm sure you'll all get to relate. 

Natural Light - If you want more natural looking photos, make sure you have ample amount of NATURAL light. It's the best light source, from warm to cold, it's not too harsh and you could take lovely shots so easy it'll be like clockwork. Oh yes, they can also do it at night without that much noise on the output.

Fix Your Brows and Hair - You would look sad and messy if you don't. It's easy takes only a few minutes and remember, it's the details that count.

Pick A Nice Background - You want to be the center of attention, so don't shoot on places that look like a war stricken country if you can. Make sure it's not too busy, it'll distract people and you wouldn't want that to happen right?

Choose The Right Angle - Look fat in front and a a little thinner by turning to the side and choosing the right angle. By rule, it's on your 30-45' angle and it does wonders for those who are on the little plump side. It goes the same for the face too so make sure you make it a habit to play around in your room's mirror. Oh and if all else fails, wear black! It fools people.

Smile - It changes the mood of the shot, be it with teeth, or closed for a more mysterious smile. Or if you wanna do it angry, it'll take pounds off your face. Trust me on that. LOL

If you wanna know more about the VIVO V5 Plus Phone just go to VivoGlobal.PH or their page Facebook.com/VivoPhil. Follow them too @vivophil on IG and on Twitter.

Why is VIVO the perfect Selfie phone?

Thursday, January 26, 2017



Surely there are tons of people probably asking why VIVO claims that they have the perfect selfie phone. Some may or may or may not agree but perhaps it'll be enough reason why we'd give them that title if the evidences speak for themselves!


A world class athlete trusts the brand. He's not just your ordinary NBA player, he's Stephen Curry. He's probably more popular to kids than Jordan and I said that without batting an eyelash. If a man of his stature already trusted a brand like VIVO, I don't think he'd be someone that would endorse something that he's not using. The video endorsements says it all and he's happy!



The BOKEH effect on evenry shot on this phone caused by dual cameras in the front makes this a selfie phone. The second 8MP in the front makes it creamy, really deep depth of field so all the attention goes to the subject (YOU) so think of how wonderful your selfies would turn out. It'll be the talk of the town!


Face Beauty 6.0 makes sure you look good in every angle. Highlighting your assets, hiding common flaws, you'll love how you're gonna look like in every shot and even get your skin tone and condition fixed when you see the need to. This is a smart phone after all!


No more dark and "against the light" shots because of the VIVO V5 Plus' ability to do soft lighting would take care of those shadows who plan to ruin your selfie shots in different lighting conditions. See how different it looks like when compared to the other brand. That makes it perfect everytime.

VIVO V5 Plus takes your selfie shots to another level and with it's features you can never go wrong. Pre order has started and if you want to get one NOW is the right time! It's time you experience the Perfect Selfie phone!

The SELFIE Cafe at Robinsons Galleria

Tuesday, September 20, 2016



There's a new coffee shop in the 2nd floor of Robinsons Galleria in Oritgas. It's called the SELFIE Cafe. It's a Filipino brand, a brain child of entrepreneurs who wanted to make their kids dream into a reality. Yes, this was actually thought of by kids and why not if the technology is already available right?



 They have really nice pastries and breads available and they invested heavily on the coffee. They wanted a specific blend and they spent a lot of time in testing beans from the local market. They wanted a robust, full bodied, dark chocolate like coffee and they couldn't actually get it with the local ones to fit their palate. They resorted now to directly importing from Italy so they could get the coffee they need to brew. The fact of the matter is, they're making not  just the coffee special, but the way they actually prepare it. The cafe is actually called SELFIE for a reason, they make your selfies into your cup of coffee, no joke!


They make this right in front of you. They only can do this on the frozen concoctions though because the gist is they need something to hold the amount of whipped cream that it's going to be printed onto.


They have a section of their coffee shop dedicated to take your selfies. It's like a studio so you can either transfer your existing ones or just take your selfie with their phones. They have a booth at the side where all the magic happens. They will top your coffee cup with about an inch of hard whipped cream, so there's a surface to print on your portraits.



Or if you're too shy and you're with a rowdy bunch, take a GROUFIE instead and print them on ALL your cups! You might have to wait a little longer though. Plus their SELFIES are really detailed, like seeing a real photo printed on your frozen treats.


If you want to enjoy a cup or two, or just take a break in the great Ortigas district, you may visit them at the 2nd Floor of Robinson's Galleria today (just go up the escalator on the front entrance along EDSA). The coffee is good, the hot ones too. 

Trust me on the Mocha, it's good and not too sweet! Just the way I like it!

OPPO F1's Quest for the Perfect Selfie!

Friday, August 05, 2016




I'm no Nyle Dimarco, but just like the most of you, I do take selfies. It's not a sin, some people like it, some don't, but if we are going to take selfies, I feel it should be done with the best hardware, best phone with a camera capability that would make you still look very real, and good no matter what side of you face is being shot.

I'll be on a journey next weekend with our friends from OPPO as they take their OPPO F1 series to the outskirts of Manila and try their best phone yet that promises to take outstanding selfies, now that's a challenge I'm willing to take.


The OPPO F1 series was launched last February and has got an 8MP Front Camera that can take an 84 degree wide angle shot. It also has an f 2.0 aperture and a 1/4 inch sensor that means it would be able to capture more light when you need to, without being all too bulky in form. 


Now it all looks so promising as they have software that also comes with that excellent hardware, but I really havent held that phone yet so take this recommendation with a grain of salt. Hopefully we would be able to use it by next week. I'm raring to test it on myself, my friends, and even take a LOT of videos just to make sure. Hopefully it won't dissappoint as it's predecessors have performed quite well in the past.

OPPO Philippines' Marketing Manager Stephen Cheng knows what Filipinos need today in the smartphone market and says "When choosing their smartphones, people simply look for attractive designs, powerful hardware, long battery life and a camera that take beautiful photos. One that they could take whenever and wherever they are!"

Hopefully we could see that very soon as they continue OPPO's quest for the perfect selfie!

OPPO Launches F1 for Selfie Experts

Thursday, February 18, 2016



We spent the whole afternoon taking selfies in pop up studios in Trinoma's activity center for Oppo Philippines. They're launching the F1, a model made specifically for the Selfie Expert. 



It boasts of the 8 MP front camera which is more than enough for that distance so if you have the urge of taking selfies, then you've got the phone for it. It's got an 84 degree f/2.0 aperture cam plus a 1/4 inch sensor so you get more light out of your camera compared to other phones. It's also got tons of filters plus a beauty feature so you get both hardware and software working for you in those selfie shots you were gunning for.

The rear camera is also 13MP so you kinda get professional grade shots when you need it, where you need it. It's also available in Rose Gold and Gold which looks soft even if it is metal. At 5 inches, with a gorilla glass coating, this might be in the mid range already as it sells Php 11,990. An octacore phone with a Snapdragon 616 processor, that's actually affordable. It's going to be also offered with telcos and I hope it'll be Smart, coz it's better there. (Update: It'll be packaged in Postpaid deals with Smart and Sun yay!)



They are also an official sponsor for the PBA Commissioners Cup. That's fun! So if you want a gorgeous but affordable phone, you might want to take this in consideration!

Here's our video taken during the event:



Here's Smart's representative announcing the packages for Smart and Sun Postpaid




Although I haven't really tried the phone yet as they didn't get us a review unit. Hopefully soon! So take this with a grain of salt.

Post a Selfie and Dine Free at Nobu Hotel Manila!

Monday, May 11, 2015




I haven't been to Nobu Hotel but I've seen it from the outside when I went to an event a few weeks ago. I guess the secret is out already about this Japanese centric place in City of Dreams Manila. Now, it's even going to be a better experience for everyone who visits the place this month as they whip out their guns and get you the chance to win a romantic and entertaining set dinner for two at Nobu Restaurant Manila. You just have to take a selfie while you're at Nobu Hotel Manila and make it your official entry to this contest. Here's the fine print!

1.) Like their Facebook page: Nobu Hotel, City of Dreams Manila
2.) Like the contest post found here.
3.) Take your selfie at Nobu Hotel in City of Dreams Manila and upload the photo on the comments section of the same contest post then use the hashtag ‪#‎nobuhotelmanila.
4.) Make sure you tag the person you want to take to that dinner on the same post and tell them why. Let your creative juices flow!

As far as I know, the food there is so good that it''s worth every second of the trip down south of Manila. Nobu has got some of the world's finest chefs. Their cuisine is just the best, I can't wait to experience it myself! This contest is going to run until May 15th, 6PM Manila time. Make sure you have your entries posted by then. Don't forget to tag and use the hashtag okay?! Ready, Go!
