Hennessy Artistry x Up Dharma Down

When was the last time you were surprised? What was the sweetest thing you ever received? We might have different answers, different strokes for different folks. One thing that would bind us together is music. Our liking of the various genres, even the varied sounds each band or each singer utters in the Philippines makes us a culture, a melting pot bringing these small differences together as we choose to celebrate the individuality, make it even better.

This isn't the first time that Hennessy Artistry chose to do it in the Philippines, as a matter of fact I was there during last year's festivities. It's not just here, it's celebrated around the world as they made mixed drinks, have it with international RnB/Hiphop/Rap artists such as Mary J. Blige, Q-Tip, Jay Electronica, Ice Cube, Erykah Badu and Kid Sister. Now since it's their 5th year in the Philippines, they're planning an even bigger event by starting off with one of the most renowned bands in the Philippines Up Dharma Down. Tons of mall goers got the shock of their life when they found out that the band appeared right front and center BGC.

Aside from that, Hennessy Artistry will be ending with the culminating activity in the annual Halo event that will happen in Valkyrie, one of Manila's top clubs. It's obviously going to be special as it's an invite only event. If you get to attend the club series and buy off Hennessy VS in some local stores, you can get an access card that will be good for two so you can get in on the exclusive culminating event. You'll get to see artists like Quest, Yolanda Moon, Nix Damp P!, Macky Brillantes, LDP, Toons Canoy, Alvin Cornista, Abdel Aziz, DJ Aryan and a lot more local and international artists too. If you get the Hennessy VS 150cl bottle, you can get 4 pieces of regular access cards that's good for two to Hennessy Artistry which will happen on June 19. Hennessy VS is available on S&R (Metro Manila branches), Landmark Makati, Rustan's, Rockwell, SM Supermarket branches in Metro Manila as well. Promo will be good until supplies last.

Remember, artists like Up Dharma Down, Motherbass, Toni B, LDP, Dan Gil, NERVO, Abdel, Quest and Silverfilter will be there on June 19, 2015. Make sure you get those exclusive invites by getting your bottle or two. Take your friends along for one special night. It's good music and perfect mixed drinks in one evening. How can you say no? My point exactly. So see you there!

Mobile Phone Brand Oppo Releases #OppoNewTrio

We got invited by one of the most promising brands of mobile phones and devices in the market that not only gives some of the best hardware that authentically performs well, but has got classy design and undeniable quality at an affordable price. It was staged at the posh Valkyrie, a very upscale club in BGC. Clad in gorgeous creations by renowned Filipino designers, they got three new phones released in one day. They are now catering to a wide audience and dubbed this as the new #OppoNewTrio. 

This is the Joy Plus by Oppo. It's comes in two colors, just white and blue. It's dimensions are 4.88 x 2.48 x 0.39 inches and weighs around 125 grams. It's very light, has got 4GB of memory and runs on Android Kitkat. It's also dual SIM, very simple interface and has got a very hard plasticky body. It can probably withstand a drop or more and work just fine by any measure. Since it's 4 inches, it's fits right in your pocket and deem really fit for ladies who just want something practical yet not shabby. It's got the usual ports, wifi BGN standards support and 3.15 megapixel camera with an LED flash. The card slot can accomodate a 32 GB memory card for all those files and music that you may need to fit in this small but high performance phone. It costs only Php 4,990 which is a steal in my books.

This one on the other hand is their Oppo Neo 5. This was released worldwide late last year and finally it has arrived in the Philippines. It's dimensions are 5.20 x 2.59 x 0.36 inches and still can fit easily in my pocket. I've used it for two days and I must say it's a pretty good secondary phone. It is very budget friendly at Php 8,990. A tad bigger than the Joy but the looks can pass as a guy's entry level phone. It runs on Jellybean and has got a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor (me thinks?). The front camera is decent for selfies at 2MP and the primary has got 8MP. You also have the option to use it as a hotspot and if you're on SMART's unlimited data plan your friends can share on it too. Both phones have an FM radio so put it on full blast when needed. It also lasts quite a long time, perhaps a day of usage at least (mine lasted around 13 hours). So it's like a brother to the Joy although you're getting a bigger phone with a longer battery life. It's also got two colors I think, black and white.  

This is the Oppo R1X. It's exterior is like a gem glistening when struck by lighting. The superb classy exterior comes with a powerful machine inside of it too. It's got a 1.5 Snapdragon 615 Octa Core processor making the thing so fast and responsive. A bit bigger and wider because it's dimensions are 5.54 x 2.76 x 0.27 inches. When I held it in my hand, it felt like was made to fit mine. The super cool back part would really be a crowd pleaser since I haven't seen anything like it yet in other brands. That's definitely something that could stand out the most. It also runs on Android Kitkat and has got a 13MP rear and a 5MP front camera. It's dual sim too but this one can accommodate LTE lines if you need it. You really get cool things from their collection because you pay for it at Php 15,990. I like how it looks definitely. They're like high end Android, in this case and not those cheap ones that just conk out on you after a few months. They're seriously going to be an interesting challenger to existing ones in the market. If you want to be unique and design savvy, go with this one.

Congratulations to Oppo for launching 3 new phones at different price ranges in the market. I hope you get the sales you need to continue coming out with newer handsets. Style wise, the R1X is definitely a stunner!
