OPPO Teases PH with Find X5 Pro 5G

There's so much appreciation for good things, so when OPPO had us do a physical event... I couldn't wait to see what they had in store for us to see this evening. I had an event in the morning and planned to go home and dress up, but plans changed and just shopped for it instead. I haven't seen a lot of blogger friends covering, but that kinda changed.

In a nutshell, OPPO is letting us experience one of their newest flagship phones in the market called OPPO Find X5 Pro 5G. The phone is special as it employs 80W SuperVOOC Charging, 1 Billion Colour Bionic Display, plus ColorOS 12.1 powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 which is a processing monster. 

To tell you honestly, I would probably buy something like this just on aesthetics because when I saw how it looked like face value, I was impressed. The modern design, the shiny exterior (you couldn't even take photos of it as light was reflecting from it in Glaze Black). They also have this in Ceramic White version, which I both dig.

The newest phone has 12GB RAM, 256GB ROM, QHD (3216x1440) 92.7% screen ratio display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The camera is 50MP F/1.7 aperture, plus 50MP Ultra Wide Angle Camera at F/2.2 and macro support. They also had a 13MP Telephoto Cam with an F/2.4 fixed focus for far subjects if you need it. The front camera is a 32MP F/2.4, you can take all the selfies and be left satisfied. I've tried some of the features like slow motion, dual view (lovely for vloggers), stickers, time lapse, portrait mode, among other things it does. It's capable of shooting up to 4K, you've got room for that in storage so those movies you plan to make with it would become really convincing.

Sad News: Unfortunately this event was just done for us to experience it. This specific model won't be released in the Philippines as they're concentrating mid range and the different series they have. Though they might be able to do it if clamor comes so ask if you feel like it... especially on their social channels because they do listen to customer feedback.

Fun to also see our boy Bret Jackson who's still got a lot of music in the pipeline. I've been missing this guy a lot since we haven't seen each other for years. He's got a few singles out and some under him and James Reid's Careless Music. It was also fun to see OPPO's executives saying hi over cocktails, it was a really fun night... thank you OPPO! :)

Mountain Dew’s Dew Day 2019!

Pro Gamers who went into the finals were from the same team. It was a 5 round match and they gave it their best!

I'm a gamer, a huge one at that. It's been a while since I've been to a Mountain Dew event (prolly last year where I won a Nintendo Switch). So going all the way to Market!Market! was not much of a bother because I wanted to see the scene on gaming today. There were tons of kids in the audience (felt a little old realizing this) but I was impressed how some of them were able to hold their spot playing Tekken 7 and Mobile Legends, they could actually give me a challenge LOL.

Free Tekken 7 games were also given to the public, I spent most of my day here!

Bret lost but he had plans, he brought and introduced James Reid's toughest opponent. It's Nadine Lustre!

This wall was like a VR induced air hockey, but you have to climb it on a wall to play.

Saw UAAP man Ricci Rivero in the crowd

Mountain Dew Executives went on stage and gave us a surprise, they said “We have an announcement to make, we are proud to say that Mountain Dew is the official game fuel of the nationwide Sea Games Philippine E Sports Team! Mountain Dew is happy to see the sheer amount of people who showed up today. Hopefully we’ll have an even bigger event next year! With mountain dew on hand you’re surely going to have a good time!”

Chot Reyes says “As far as 3 years ago we have been doing E Sports in TV5 and ESPN5, this is for the esports community and we will meet each other in the upcoming Asian games.”

We can't wait to be champs in SEA Games!

This was the part where James and Nadine had a little bout of trash talk:

James: Nadine, I love you but I’m not going to go easy on you!

Nadine: Likewise!

Guess who won?

Nadine Lustre won of course! She handled Xiaoyu quite good that James didn't stand a chance with the matches.

There were also several Nintendo Switch consoles on the side for everyone to play.

People won Jackets, Phone Stands, Bags, T shirts, caps courtesy of Mountain Dew!

There was also a Mobile Legends match between Team Dogie and Team Ashley.  They didn't settle the draw.

Careless Music Manila performed for everyone and got us in the mood for a shirt concert.

With a Mountain Dew on hand, we kept our cool in the middle of the Market!Market! entertainment venue.

Congratulations Mountain Dew! Can't wait for next year's event! They promised it will be BIGGER!

MAS! Music, Arts and Style : Ayala Style Origins 2016

Had a really great time at Market!Market! in BGC yesterday as Ayala Malls adds another installment of Ayala Origins this 2016. This time they dubbed it as MAS! which is a moniker for Music, Arts and Style, an apt title for what happened that afternoon. In Spanish, that means MORE and we really get that in Ayala Malls. As for me, I was really excited about the Style part because you know how much I love runway. I did my best to take shots from where I was because aside from the view, I had tons of parents and the audience to worry about. Ayala Origins is happening simultaneously in other malls and what's good about it is that they actually include the community in this event. That only means that during the fashion show, most of the models were not professional ones but just ordinary people like YOU and ME. I had fun taking photos of most of them and I hope in some way they could land here and get copies of it too. 

I also wanted to make sure all of you who didn't get to watch the show would have a front row seat and see the whole show in photos today so let's start! (Warning: Picture Heavy Post)

For the opening act, the band named The Juans performed. I still remember them playing for Nadine Lustre a couple months back. They're actually good!

The Fashion Show

The fashion show was the piece de resistance of the show. As I mentioned earlier, they included real people, local popular teens, real professional models and good looking artists from different TV studios like ABSCBN, GMA and TV5. It was fun to see the kids push each other every now and then while on the runway, it felt genuinely fun. I was trying to stay calm because the parents were all standing and walking while the fashion show was happening, but I guess they were just excited for their kids and I couldn't blame them. So if you see a hand, a head on the shots try to understand what warzone I was in trying to get a shot haha! Aside from that, this is so cool because all the things they are wearing come from the actual merchants that have stores inside Market!Market! which includes some brands I love! Here we go!
