OPPO F1s: Travel Essentials

Yes, adventure awaits so we must go find it! I'm one who loves to travel and I promised myself one day I'm going to seek great adventures. I'll go wherever I want, visiting places and exploring wonders I've been dreaming to see. Yeah, well, someday! For now, I'm here tell you about my travel essentials, things I ALWAYS and MUST bring whenever I travel.

Whether it's a 3D2N or an overnight trip, whether local or international, your first or tenth trip, it helps that you're prepared and have everything you need in your backpack/luggage. I've been to a lot of trips with my family and friends before and I admit I'm one to always forget to bring something, be it socks or sunscreen. So, to never again forget something, I made sure to make a list of essentials I must bring on a trip.

 #1 - Passport, IDs, and other Travel Documents (if international)
Imagine you're about to board your plane going to Korea and the flight clerk asks for your passport so you stop for a while to look for it but you realize you forgot to bring it. Just imagine that!

#2 - Pocket money

You should always have spending money when you travel. Whether you spend it for food or other things, money is a travel essential.

#3 - Map

It always helps when you know your way around a new place. So bring a map! Or your smartphone for Waze.

 #4 - Camera and other gadgets (Cellphone, charger, international travel plug adapter, etc)

“What i like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.” - Karl Lagerfeld

What's an adventure without selfies, you guys!

#5 - A book

I'm a book nerd so I always bring a book wherever I go. And, and! reading can get you through traffic (if you're not the driver), waiting line, awkward conversations with strangers and just anything. So bring a book!

#6 - Sunscreen and Shawl/Scarf

Going to the beach, hiking or even when you're just visiting your grandmother, you can never go wrong with a sunscreen! To protect yourself from the sun, you can also use a shawl. 

#7 - My planner and pens

I love to write so my planner and pens go wherever I am. 

#8 - Small med kit

Now we don't want anybody getting hurt or scraping his knee but it's always good to be prepared.

#9 - A change of clothes and small towel (if it's only a day tour)

Unexpected or unplanned things always happen and you don't want to regret it when you decided you want to go for a swim but can't since you don't have a change of clothes. This goes when you accidental spill your coffee on your shirt too.

#10 -  Travel bag with clothes and other necessities (if overnight or longer)
Need I explain this? Because I dare you go on a trip without a travel bag! And a toothbrush!

#11 - Toiletry bag

Hand sanitizer, tissue, shampoo, soap, hairbrush, toothbrush, toothpaste, make up and everything else, put everything here and you're good to go!

#12 - Resealable plastic bags
I just always bring resealable bags just in case. 

 ***

Now, now, there's a new travel essential for me that I need to get before I plan my next travel! I've been actually eyeing this one for a while now and I'll be happy to get myself one this year. (Hopefully!) What I'm telling you about is OPPO F1s!! Yes, that one! :D

 Who wouldn't want a smartphone like OPPO F1s when it has:
16MP Front Camera
Beautify 4.0
Filters
13MP Rear Camera
Selfie Panorama
0.22s Touch Access
3GB RAM
Customizable fingerprint-activated app launch
(and a lot more impressive features and specs!)

See? Just imagine yourself on one of your trips with this smartphone, taking selfies and enjoying your apps! I'm a selfie addict myself so having a phone like OPPO F1s would be very handy since I can take good selfies, can easily switch between apps and won't worry about my phone acting up!

So #13 on my list is OPPO F1s for who needs a dslr when I have an OPPO F1s!

Why I want an OPPO F1s

When choosing a new phone, we consider a lot of things. The look, the camera, the RAM, its OS and of course the other important specifications. I, myself, am choosy when buying a new phone. The camera should be at least 8MP, it should have big memory since I love downloading music, and it should be user friendly among other things. I admit I'm not an expert when it comes to the latest gadgets but I know what I want. And what I want is OPPO F1s and there's no doubt about it since it has the best features I'm looking for in a phone.

I first heard about OPPO F1s when it made a noise about its camera branding it Selfie Expert. I was intrigued so of course I made my own research. Sure enough, I've read a lot of good reviews about it and was convinced I needed to get one for myself.

But what I like best in OPPO F1s is its 3GB RAM because, really, who wants a slow phone that always lags when you're watching a YouTube video or playing a game? I'm a fan of watching online videos and I also have soooo many apps on my phone so it'll be perfect if I have an OPPO F1s to make switching between apps easier and faster.

In short, I really really want to have an OPPO F1s! It'll be the perfect Christmas present because, hey, Christmas is just around the corner! I also just said goodbye to my old phone of 4 years, if you believe it, so now I'm looking for a new one and like I said, I really want to have an OPPO F1s! A friend of mine also has an OPPO phone and told me she's loving it. The camera is her favorite feature because, of course, everyone loves to take selfies! :)

 And I believe I've been a good girl this year so I think I deserve a little present this Christmas. How I wish Secret Santa could hear my prayer! ♥

#FreeTheJoy with Limited Edition Cadbury Dairy Milk Christmas Flavors

It's October, you guys!! And Ber months mean Christmas is just around the corner. Yay! But, but! That's not all, because Cadbury Dairy Milk’s limited edition Christmas flavors are back which make Christmas even sweeter and merrier! :D

I remember everytime our dad comes home from abroad with a bag of Duty Free and my sisters and I are all excited to find Cadbury Dairy Milk bars inside. You can actually say that we're Cadbury Dairy Milk kids because since we were little until now it's our favorite. These limited Cadbury Dairy Milk Christmas flavors actually remind me of them and now I know what to give them this Christmas! 

For each of them I decided to give these Cadbury Dairy Milk’s limited edition Christmas flavors.

My older sister, Anne, likes chocolate cookies and red jellies so I really believe she's going to love Cadbury Dairy Milk Black Forest. Since she's working even on holidays, Cadbury Dairy Milk Black Forest will keep her company and I'm certain she's going to enjoy its crunchiness and chewiness.

Yana, on the other hand, likes her chocolate to be filled with flavors so I think Cadbury Dairy Milk French Vanilla is perfect for her. The French vanilla cream will surely surprise her and I can't wait to see how she's going to love it.

 And then our youngest sister, Aly, will definitely enjoy Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate Mousse since chocolate mousse is just her favorite! This light and airy chocolate-flavored cream enveloped in classic milk chocolate shell compliments her personality of being a sweet sister.

Now I know what to give my sisters this Christmas thanks to Cadbury Dairy Milk. I'm sure all of them are going to love it and I hope this will earn me votes to be the Sister of the Year! :D

Are you looking for the best gift to give this Christmas? Why not give a Cadbury Dairy Milk to your loved ones? I'm sure they're going to love these limited edition Christmas flavors too!

How to be a #SelfieExpert

📷 📷 📷
Who doesn't post a selfie on their social media accounts?
Everybody loves selfies and getting perfect ones always makes us happy. Some people take a selfie as soon as they get up in the morning. Some before going out to meet a friend. Some while eating and everyone, I repeat EVERYONE, when we feel like we're prettier than usual. And I think that it's been a part of our every day to post a selfie on our timeline.

Because taking a selfie is as easy as pose-snap-post

 And as they say, Just be your #Selfie! 

I know we all have our own ways of taking selfies but let me give you tips on how to be a #SelfieExpert

*Five tips on how to take the perfect selfie.*

📷 Be it left or right, you should know by now where your good side is. Because who would want to capture their not so good side, anyway? You can also experiment by adjusting your shoulders once in a while and see if it makes your selfies better. 📷

📷 You don't want your background to be your room's messy side or someone smoking behind you. So you always have to look for a good background in order to take a good selfie. You also need good lighting. Natural light is perfect but if you're indoor, be sure to have a good light so you can take good ones. Another thing, watch out for photo-bombers! 📷

📷 If you want to fly, think happy thoughts. If you want a good selfie, just smile. Because a smile is the best make-up anyone can wear. And it's what selfie is, right? To capture your selfie-ness. So just smile, or make faces, be you and snap away. 📷

📷 Most of the times we're happy with our selfies but sometimes we feel like there's something missing/wrong with them and adding filters seems to fix it. So whenever I feel like the lighting is not good or my color is a bit dark, I always use Molome or, of course, Instagram filters. 📷

📷 Good selfies require a good camera phone. How can you take selfies if your camera phone can't capture them clearly and beautifully? And imagine if you're using the new OPPO F1 Selfie Expert with 8-megapixel front camera that lets your selfie be clearer. 📷

It has features like Beautify 3.0 that will make you look stunning all the time and Screen Flash which allows you to take a selfie even in low light conditions. These features will definitely give you a perfect selfie and I definitely would want to have one.

To have a better look and idea at how perfect OPPO F1 Selfie Expert is for your selfies, visit OPPO Philippines.

I'm convinced that OPPO F1 Selfie Expert is taking the art of selfie to the next level. With its features and specs it won't only give you your best selfies but also a complete package. 

Specs:

Display - 5in 1280 x 720 IPS LCD screen 

OS - ColorOS 2.1, based on Android 5.1

Processor - Snapdragon 616 1.7GHz octa-core CPU

RAM - 3GB

Storage - 16GB with microSD

Rear camera - 13MP with phase detection and f/2.2 lens

Front camera - 8MP with f/2 lens

Battery - 2500mAh 

After seeing this, don't you feel like getting one so you can also take your selfies to the next level? :)

I's been nice sharing some tips on how to take the perfect selfie and I hope these help. 📷

Taking Gifting to the Next Level

Now that Christmas is just around the corner, everyone is excited to do their holiday shopping. We are all excited to buy gifts for our loved ones and of course for ourselves. 

This Christmas, I only have four on my wishlist.

1. Our mom lives in Palawan and it's been years since we last saw her. We really want to see her this Christmas so 4 round-trip tickets to Palawan are on the top of my list.

 2. Can you believe that I don't have my own laptop? Yes, I don't. That's why I really really want one this Christmas. Please?

*cough* Acer *cough*

 

3. I like reading and getting new books this Christmas would be really great! 

   

4. I know my fourth wish is cliche but come on, it wouldn't hurt to wish for world peace.

 So there you have the wishlist that could make me very happy this Christmas.

*** *** ***  

Another thing that could make me happy is by giving my family the gifts they really want. Because seeing them happy makes me happy. And this year, I want to take gifting to the next level. 

So here are the things I want to give my family this Christmas:

I know that my family always appreciates everything that I give them. I know that no matter how small or big or cheap or expensive it is, they wouldn't care just as long as it's from me. And I love them for that.  

*** *** ***

 For me, Christmas is the best time of the year. It's the season where everyone celebrates and shares the things they have. We buy gifts for our loved ones and we spend quality time with them. And though we're not celebrating our Christmas with our parents (just like any other year), we know that it would still be wonderful.

Christmas is also the season of giving. We share the things we can share to others without expecting anything in return. We reach out to those who need our help and we try to give them something that could make them happy. And I think it's our way of giving back to them for all the good things that happened to us this year. Sharing our blessings with them is our way of giving back.

Another way in which you can give back to others is by participating in SM Christmas Bears of Joy.

Your Php 200 can make a child happy plus you get to keep a cute bear. How great is that? So if you also want to make a child happy, come and join the SM Christmas Bears of Joy.

There are so many ways we can give back to others. It's just up to us how we do it. Be it by donating old clothes and toys or lending a hand in a charity or by just participating in different programs or activities just like the SM Christmas Bears of Joy. And I really hope that each of us would take this opportunity to help others because there's always joy in giving!

Take a break...

I'm not a super hero. I'm no robot. But if I am to unlock a super power that I like, I would like to unluck the skill of teleportation. It means no more traffic, no more lates. This way I could always have the break I want. No more having to worry about time. It would be fun!

So don't worry, TAKE A BREAK and HAVE A KITKAT. I promise you won't be late! :D

Dream. Explore. Travel. ✈

 "The world is a book and those who do not travel  read only one page." -St. Augustine

I love going to different places, and though I haven't been to many place before, I know someday I'm gonna see the world. Asia, Europe, America, Australia, Africa and who knows I'll be in Antarctica someday. :)

There are so many reasons why people travel. Some travel because it's the nature of their work. Some travel because they want to experience new things. Some want to meet new people or learn other cultures. There are also some who travel because they want to find themselves and others just to have fun and enjoy things. Some also consider traveling as a challenge and I think it's a good one. Especially going to places that are really alien to you. But mostly, people travel to explore new places and  discover new things. 

 

 Traveling is also a good way to collect good memories. Just imagine when you're already old and you look at your photo albums and see those pictures you took when you used to visit different places. It's such a nice way to reminisce and remember your old days.

 But no matter where we travel, it's a must that we have a comfortable and nice place to stay at. We should find a place where we can relax and enjoy ourselves during our stay there.

Keep Calm and Watch Movies

 What movie made you fall in love with watching movies? 

 Comedy. Romance. Family. Action. Horror. Adventure. Drama

We all love different kind of movies. But no matter what genre we love, there's always this one movie we will always love and remember. The movie that made us love watching more and more movies. 

Do you remember these lines? 

• "You jump, I jump, remember?"
• "Jamie saved my life. She taught me everything. About life, hope and the long journey ahead. I'll always miss her. But our love is like the wind. I can't see it, but I can feel it."
• "After all... I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her." 

How about this line?

"They're grown-up criminals... ...but this is my neighborhood and this is my house. No matter how old they are, no matter how big they are... ...they can't beat me here. They can't beat me at home."

This line is from Home Alone 3 (1997) 

 I really love the movie. I first saw the film when I was 8 and since then it became one of my favorites. I've seen it with my family for over 50 times and it never failed to make us laugh. Alex was so brave, smart and funny. The movie was great.

I guess it became the movie that made me watch more and more movies because I always have a good time everytime I watch it. It reminds me of happy memories I have with my family, when we used to laugh together.

Movies. I love movies. My sisters and I have been movie geeks since the VHS era. It's our bonding time. And now it's easier for us to be updated with the new and upcoming movies through GMovies. 

 This app helps us view, watch trailers, and even reserve tickets for the movie we want to see through our mobile phone. It's very convenient and we can now get updates with the movies we love.

This is definitely the ultimate pocket app for all movie lovers like me. An app we will all love.

You can download GMovies on App Store or Google Play
