Blog Review: Cherry Mobile Desire R7 PLUS

For a month, my sister and I tested how the DESIRE R7 PLUS works: The Desire Series is the latest collection of Cherry Mobile.

The last time I used Cherry Mobile was when the calculator phone was a trend. It was really handy, cute and not flashy especially for a college student. 

DESIGN 5/5 

It’s overall look is sleek, modern and minimalist. The exciting part is the Fingerprint sensor – for EXTRA security reasons ofcourse. Setting up the fingerprint sensor is easy (Head over to settings). The phone is very light and the size is just right.

UNBOXING:

It comes in a black sleek box and the inside the compartment with the unit, the earphones and charger plus manuals on how to use the basic features, Cherry mobile fun club, Cherry Play manual and the warranty

PRICE 5/5

My overall review for the phone is impressive For a price of  P5,999 not bad – It’s affordable .

CAMERA 3.5 /5

It’s not bad for a local android phone,  the first thing I checked was the camera ofcourse, Taking a selfie is way better than some local & international android phone but not as like the level of high end brands but it’s middle good. The rear cam, is good too especially taking photos under natural light. Indoor shots with light and in the dark is not as High Definition. It’s not a phone for instagrammable flatlay shots but is more or a  taking moments kind of phone and it works way better with NATURAL light. With the pictures you can edit it with the phone’s built in filters. 

 

 

PHONE’S VIDEO RESOLUTION 5/5

It’s excellent and fast but it would vary on your internet connection also.The features on the phone gives a modern take among all cherry mobile series and it’s vibrant colors are appealing. The themes are cute and the applications/ icons on the display are bigger compared to other phone but it suits with the built of the phone . With it’s 5.5 inches HD IPS I enjoyed watching and streaming videos online. 

NAVIGATION BUTTONS and TOUCH & CONTROLS 4/5

Maybe I’m not used having no button in the middle of the phone but I sometime forget that I have to swipe up in order to see the main navigational buttons. The touch and controls are user-friendly, not complicated and smooth. It’s fast and NOT lagging. 

SOUND 4/5

Using the headphones that comes with it , excellent surround sound and the maximum volume is just right. Using other headphones, it’s okay but not loud. Technically it works better with a cherry mobile accessories. I tried jogging while listening to my playlist – it was okay for as long it is not loose. Loudspeakers is not that high definition surround sound and not that clear compared to other smart phones. 

BATTERY LIFE 5/5 

Battery life is long lasting, for as long you don’t consume too much data/wifi. You get to charge it NOT as many times. 

SPECS: 4/5 

I don’t want to go so “techy” when it comes to the specs, as much I want to explain it in Layman’s point of view. Referring to the terms of like Nougat (it’s like the latest android version so it means it’s new) and RAM (3-4 Speed is good for the Desire R7 Plus). Overall, I think the phone is impressive and  not bad at all but my concern would be maybe when it comes to like heavy-duty files like games with extreme graphics  I don’t know how the capacity of the phone would take so far my sister has been playing application games there seem to be no problem. I could say, it would be an OKAY everyday phone to use 🙂 

  • Android Nougat 7.0
  • 5.5 HD IPS SCREEN
  • 1.3 GHZ QUAD CORE

Blog Review: 100 Tula Para Kay Stella

Viva Films presents 100 na tula para kay Stella, Story and Direction by Jason Laxamana as one of the official entries of PISTA NG PELIKULANG PILIPINO, showing August 16. It’s an entire week of Locally produced films (No foreign films will be shown in regular cinemas) kaya supportahan natin mga pelikulang Pilipino!

Ticket prices are as follow:
P150 Students within Metro Manila
P100 Students outside Metro Manila
4+ 1 PROMO (regular priced ticket)
Regular priced ticket depending on the cinema

Review:

My take on this movie starts of light & charming. Fidel’s unrequited love for Stella started as their friendship flourishes in college. Fidel has a speech defect he only limits himself to 3 words and for long speeches he has to write it down. His character is being bullied by his peers because he stutters 🙁

He met Stella on Freshies night were Stella heard a singing voice outside the venue , she followed the voice then she spotted Fidel. That’s when his infatuation started with the girl with the black lipstick (Stella)

His teacher encouraged him to submit articles to the Seedling (The school’s official newspaper) since he love writing poems thus he begins to write for the girl with the black lipstick as inspiration. Then his teacher told him to give it to her personally thus till it reached 100 tula (till graduation) – that’s were the story revolved.

JC SANTOS Character Fidel, is someone you’ll love from his genuine sweetness and the total aspect of his character. His character progresses from this kid who was bullied to someone who achieved a lot. He became a hearthrob during his 3rd and 4th year when he moved to another university. His gay room mate discovered his talent in singing (the stuttering stops), thus encouraging hin to join a performing arts guild where he develops self confidence.

I didn’t know he could sing and yeah a friend told me he is a theatre actor – that’s why he is dynamic & versatile. Looking forward to see new projects for JC and you’ll love Fidel’s character in the movie – Most likely.

Bela Padilla – Well Stella, the muse at first she seemed fun to be with but as she flunks schools it seems her priorties weren’t straighten out. She wanted to break in the music scene. Thus being with different guys, she kinda used them. She admitted that in the movie. That’s why she never wanted to take advantage of Fidel, because Fidel would give anything for her. There was a scene were Fidel was offered singing gigs he didn’t cared actually, he planned to act sick and give the gig to Stella instead beacause it was her dream – act of true love! There was a scene Stella was vulnerable he never took advantage of that. That’s when she kinda drifted apart.

All I can say its NOT your typical story (This can happen in real life actually), there were scenes I got teary eyed especially the ENDING – may twist. Worth it ba yung 100 na tula!? Don’t worry they both get their happy endings.

I don’t want to be a spoiler but you better watch it! 100 tula para kay Stella NOW SHOWING!

Smile Bar Now Here In The Philippines

Smile, Manila!

The Smile Bar Opens Its First Flagship Store in Bonifacio Global City

The Smile Bar pairs modern state-of-the-art equipment and an inviting and comfortable atmosphere in order to provide consumers with an enjoyable teeth-whitening experience. In just 20 minutes, your teeth can be between 2 to 9 shades whiter using a very effective teeth whitening gel with a revolutionary formula and a sophisticated whitening lamp for immediate visible effects. Depending on the patron’s dental hygiene and lifestyle (consumption of tea, coffee, cigarettes, etc.), the whitening effect can last up to six months. To maintain a pearly white breathtaking smile, the whitening treatment is recommended on a quarterly basis.

MANILA, 2 August 2017 – The Smile Bar, an exclusive dental whitening treatment center that offers first class services in a modern environment, launches its first-ever store in the Philippines at Uptown Parade, Bonifacio Global City.

Following successful launches in Hong Kong and Bangkok, in 2015 and 2016, respectively, The Smile Bar is now operating in Manila, offering safe and effective teeth whitening services to consumers in the Philippines.

“We’re extremely excited to cater to Filipinos that are looking for cheaper, faster, and safer alternatives to teeth bleaching or whitening toothpastes. The products we use are from Brilliant Smile from Sweden and have been thoroughly tested to be 100% safe, while the LED Plasma Light technology has proven to produce better and faster results,” says Fumiko Yu, Founder and Partner of The Smile Bar in the Philippines.

The Smile Bar is changing the way teeth whitening is perceived, by offering a unique dental spa experience to guests. With four packages available, from Single Whitening (1 x 20 minutes at PHP2,999), Double Whitening (2 x 20 minutes, PHP4,999), Triple Whitening (3 x 20 minutes at PHP6,499), and Year Whitening (12 x 20 minutes at PHP24,999), The Smile Bar provides an easy and effortless teeth whitening service.

Consumers that opt for the Nano Seal Total+ can quickly jump back into their lifestyle without having to worry about staining or discoloration.

“We take pride in being the first non-invasive whitening service that provides immediate results at an affordable price,” adds Yu. “Filipinos value quality services at a fair price, and that’s why we brought The Smile Bar to the Philippines.”

Most Common Inquiries: 

Why should I whiten my teeth?

A bright, white smile gives you more confidence and makes you look healthier.

Having whiter teeth will also lead you to taking good care of your dental hygiene, and good oral health is essential to preventing tooth and gum disease.

How does The Smile Bar whiten teeth?

The Smile Bar uses products and technology from Swedish company, Brilliant Smile.

The secret is the teeth whitening gel, which safely removes discoloration and stains from the enamel. The LED Plasma Light technology activates the whitening gel. This is done for 20 minutes, and repeated depending on the treatment of your choice.

Is teeth whitening safe?

Our products from Brilliant Smile have been thoroughly tested and proven to be 100% safe. The Smile Bar’s teeth whitening process is certified and completely safe for teeth and gums.

Is light technology effective?

The LED Plasma Light technology used in our teeth whitening treatment is very effective, producing better and faster results compared to other teeth whitening methods. All the necessary tests have been conducted to ensure its safety for customers.

How many shades lighter can my teeth get?

Each person has a unique anatomy and everyone’s teeth respond to the whitening treatment differently. The result will depend on the type and degree of discoloration. As part of your treatment, you will undergo an assessment with one of our specialists where you will discuss your current shade and expected results.

The average for customers is 5 shades whiter after one treatment, but we have customers who achieved up to 7 shades whiter.

Is teeth whitening for me?

If you have healthy teeth and gums, we don’t see any reason why you wouldn’t want whiter teeth!

Many things cause tooth discoloration and chances are you are affected by one of them:

  • Consumption of food and beverages with color pigments such as tea, coffee, red wine, and soda
  • Tar and nicotine from smoking stain your teeth over time and cannot be remedied by regular brushing
  • Medication
  • Poor oral hygiene
  • Genetics

 

Is there anyone who cannot whiten their teeth?

Whitening is not recommended for pregnant women (or breastfeeding mothers) and children under the age of 16.

 

Can everyone get whiter teeth?

15% of the global population has difficult in getting whiter teeth for various reasons. However, most people get significant results from teeth whitening treatments. There are some people who would not get any results at all, but these are rare cases.

Which teeth shades are easier to whiten?

Yellow teeth are easier to whiten than grey teeth. Moreover, your natural whiteness from your enamel is the determining factor for your teeth whitening results. Genetics play a big role in the results, as you can only go as far as your natural whiteness prior to discoloration.

Will teeth whitening make my crowns, bridges, and veneers whiter?

The Smile Bar’s teeth whitening method works better on your natural teeth, but can also bring your crowns, bridges, and veneers back to their original color.

How long do teeth whitening results last?

Your lifestyle and diet will determine the amount of time it takes for discoloration to take place on your teeth again. You can expect to maintain whiter teeth for up to 6 months after a treatment at The Smile Bar, provided that you practice good dental hygiene.

It is recommended that you come in regularly once a quarter. Using our post-whitening products regularly will help keep your teeth clean as well as maintain your bright smile.

Will teeth whitening cause tooth sensitivity?

Tooth sensitivity issues are side effects associated with teeth whitening. Despite not being a serious condition, it can be very uncomfortable.

Brilliant Smile’s high quality products rarely produce any side effects. The slight tingle you will feel within the first 24 hours after treatment are perfectly natural and will disappear quickly.

How long do I have to wait before drinking, eating, or smoking?

After the treatment, there will be some microscopic spots where the discolorations used to be. These are vulnerable to new discoloration so we strongly recommend drinking only water for those first 6 hours after your treatment.

As part of your aftercare, we have recommendations for the next 72 hours after treatment:

  • Avoid strongly colored drinks such as tea, coffee, red wine, soda
  • Avoid food that cause stains such as chocolate, and those with food coloring
  • Avoid acidic food such as tomatoes, vinegar, soy, citrus, and chili sauce as these cause tooth hypersensitivity
  • Avoid smoking
  • Do a fluoride rinse twice a day to rebuild enamel and fill any microscopic cavities

 

The Smile Bar also offers the NanoSeal Total+ as an add-on to your treatment. This process reinforces the enamel and seals the whiteness on your teeth. By doing this, you will be able to eat or drink anything immediately after your treatment, without risking new discoloration! No need to worry about 72-hour food, drink, and smoking restrictions.

What is NanoSeal Total+?

The NanoSeal Total+ is a liquid solution applied on your teeth after the whitening procedure.

Using a small brush, this application only requires 1 minute of your time. The product will protect your teeth and enamel instantly. Immediately after the treatment, you are free from any eating, drinking, and smoking restrictions.

What makes teeth whitening treatment in The Smile Bar different from home teeth whitening treatment kits?

The problem with home whitening kits is that they are never a sure thing. Some are cheap, some are expensive. Some claim to be natural, while others come with toxicity warnings. You can never tell where you stand with these at-home trays and LED lights.

While we applaud DIY, we have also learned that it is better to go to a salon than to cut your own bangs. Our specialists at The Smile Bar will help you achieve a confident new smile without getting your hands dirty with chemical solutions.

Spontaneous Travel to HongKong with a Passport Valid for Less than 6 Months

Our recent trip to Hong Kong wasn’t actually planned, It was my birthday week and we decided to book a day before our flight. We decided days before my birthday because of family commitments that would fall near my actual birthday. – It’s fine, This is the second time I got to spend my special day abroad with my family. The first was at Dubai (4 days after my birthday), that was my first post as a blogger and I found out that I passed the board exam.

Well weeks before I’ve inquired to Cathay Pacific and Philippine Immigration, I have a concern regarding my passport, if I can travel to Hong Kong because my passport is less than 6 months valid – It is okay BUT it depends on the AIRLINE/IMMIGRATION  here in the Philippines they may weigh in your situation it may be travelling with family for as long you have documents that you are employed or that you have no plans to stay there more than intended.

THOUGH According to IMMIGRATION OF HONG KONG  – In general, all visitors to Hong Kong must have a passport that is valid for at least one month after the period of their intended stay in Hong Kong. However, documents issued to stateless persons must be valid for a minimum of two months after the period of intended stay. Please contact the Immigration Department for further details

Hong Kong may be linient compared to the Philippines, but I suggest call the airline first.

Hong Kong is already common for Pinoys to visit since its VISA FREE for PINOYS and its like 3 hour plane ride. What makes this blogpost different I would sort it out by using Hong Kong’s MTR (train)  map as a guide . It is very convenient to use their transport system. It’s okay to take a cab /Car service if you are in groups. Starting from the airport you can travel comfortably. Well we were in Hong Kong for just 3 days so I guess this is just the basic – I’ll definitely come back to explore.

  • TUNG CHUNG (Tung Chung Line – orange) – the famous cable car and the Buddha Mountain (Not sure). Unfortunately when we went there the cable cars were under renovation. So SAD 🙁
  • Sunny Bay (Tung Chung Line – orange) – This is your STOPOVER for you to hop on the train to Hong Kong Disney Land. You’ll love the Mickey Train

TIP: to buy CHEAPER tickets, head over to Central station there is a mall where all the Filipinos gather and look for an agency and avail tickets. It’s like 250 HK dollars I think. That’s why make sure you spend your entire that at HK disneyland because its your money’s worth. Ride all the rides and know the schedule of shows. 8PM is the famous fireworks display which is my favorite among all!

  • Tsim Tsa Tsui (Tsuen Wen Line – red ) – The shopping capital for the masses and a good walk to go to Harbour Bay. A friend recommended that I try KFCs egg tart (DELICIOUS).

    HARBOUR BAY
  • Mongkok  (Tsuen Wen Line – red ) – the famous WOMEN’S NIGHT  MARKET and SNEAKER STREET. If you guys are looking for affordable beauty products they have BONJOUR everywhere in different locations.

    Authentic Hotpot
  • Central  (Island Line – blue)- From our hotel at CAUSEWAY BAY this was our connecting train station to Tsim Tsam Tsui and MongKok (Red Line – Tsuen Wen Line) and Airport Express (Aqua Green).
  • Ocean Park (South Island Side – Yellow Lane) – Connecting from Admiralty (Island Line -Blue & South Island Line – Yellow)
  • Causeway Bay (Island line – blue) – This is the high end shopping capital and good places to get desserts For hotel, I highly recommend the hotel we stayed MINI HOTEL. It is a budget friendly minimalist boutique hotel – for great deals book at www.bookings.com

Hygienix: Fight Germs with Shower Rangers!

The Fight Against World Germination becomes Fun
Hygienix Shower Rangers are a Gamechanger in the Antibacterial Category

This is such a cute ad to promote HYGIENIX from their soaps to hand sanitizers – Based on the power rangers (power rangers was the rave during my generation from Mighty morphin, Ninja storm and now – who knows?)

personally if you are a nursing graduate/ premed, for sure you have wipes or hand sanitizer in your bag. You never the accumulated germs are around the area. Especially now its cold season, germs multiply due to low pressure. That’s why its good to be prepared. Prevent germs at home and outside.

Have you seen the Hygienix Shower Rangers unleashing their Shower Power Kick and Hygienix Powerblast on the vile Germdugo? It’s all part of the #FightWorldGermination campaign by Hygienix. The nod toward superhero team TV shows that dominated Philippine screens in the 1990s was a choice that aligned with the brand ’s strategy. “We wanted to change the conversation around the antibacterial category and show that though it is a serious matter, it can be fun and entertaining–yet still credible,” says Splash Corp.’s Joyce Jacobe.

This led to the idea of a villain, the Germperor, trying to “germinate”—that is, use germs for world domination—and the only weapon against it is the Hygienix Shower Rangers, a band of four superheroes each representing a quality of the product: Refreshing Scent, Non-drying, Germ-killing, Value for money.

“We hope to capture the attention of modern, busy moms and young adults alike, and a lot of them grew up watching and looking up to TV superheroes. We thought this creative execution is something that will help us stand out,” Jacobe says.

The 2-minute video shared online expanded the audience reach of the ad material. “We were able to target a wider audience, specially those who don’t regularly watch TV and spend more time online (thus missed out seeing our TVC),” Jacobe explained. “The video on https://www.facebook.com/hygienixph/ showed a more complete and fun story, which engaged a lot of people to share it on their pages, and in turn, increased ad viewership.”

According to Jacobe: “Based on comments received on the Hygienix Facebook Page, the videos were effective in convincing consumers to try the product, and or for those who tried the product, liked it and made it a regular part of their grocery list. It sparked online conversations among our target market.”
