Ken Chan Excited for His First Concert

I have always been so proud of Ken Chan's accomplishments even before he did the remarkable Destiny Rose on GMA. He was a teen during the German Moreno show Walang Tulugan where he showcased his talents in hosting and singing and that's probably where people have started noticing him. His undeniable charm, good looks was a sure fire way to begin an illustrious career in showbiz and when the landmark role of Destiny Rose came, there was no turning back. Destiny Rose was a trans woman from a very conservative family and it was something that has never been done on Philippine television. It has paved the way for the young man to be seen with a larger audience and be loved by the masses as the show hit the airwaves a few months back. The show may have ended but whenever people see Ken Chan, they still see Destiny Rose in him so they're in for a treat this August 19. He's going to have his own concert at Zirkoh at Tomas Morato in Quezon City entitled "My Destiny: Ken Chan Live in Concert" produced under Firestarters, a new outfit who believes Ken is a very talented singer and people should see him soon.

I always tell friends and family that I personally know this guy and how we've been able to see him develop to who he is today. I'm so proud Ken is accomplishing his dreams and people are helping him achieve it as he's a very nice guy. Fact is, he's just starting and he knows he owes it to everyone who's supported him all these years. We sat down with him a few weeks ago, you'll be excited about what he prepared for you!

My Destiny: Ken Chan Live In Concert again is happening this August 19. For tickets you may call or text 09162306146 or (02) 3745769.

You may also email firestartersmanila@gmail.com if you want to reserve tickets for the show. This is for his fans and those who would love music in general. Confirmed guests include Fabio Ide, Ms. Manilyn Reynes, Jeric Gonzales, Divine, Tammy Brown and RJ Agustin. You'll love the show, you'll laugh, and who knows, you might see Destiny Rose in the audience when you watch the show! Congratulations Ken! We can't wait to see you on stage!

OPPO F1S Launched in the Philippines

I had a wonderful time in Pico De Loro in Batangas this week. It might have been a little rainy but that ain't enough to dampen our spirits as we were about to witness the unveiling of OPPO Philippines' flagship phone the OPPO F1S. It's also being launched as we speak in different countries like Korea and the ASEAN region and more people are rejoicing over what's dubbed as the ultimate Selfie Expert, a feat that's cemented it's place in the market as they're now number 3 in the Philippines. I don't doubt them as much because if you hear the hardware specifications it'll make sense. The phone manufacturer also introduced their latest influencers, an array of talented celebrities from GMA and ABSCBN.

Gorgeous Janine Gutierrez was one of them, she looked taller from the last time I saw her, I dunno. Or it might be her heels, but she was really gorgeous!

On the photo are OPPO Philipines executives, Home Credit representatives (whom you can get your phones too on installment), plus celebrities Mikael Daez, Julian Trono, Janine Gutierrez, Bea Binene, Kylie Padilla, Jasmine Curtis Smith, Apple David, Carla Lizardo, Ella Cruz and Shy Carlos.

This OPPO F1S has a 1.31 inch sensor, a 16MP front camera that takes those lovely selfies. How can you not call this the ultimate selfie phone if it's that powerful to begin with? They've been revolutionizing this genre since the late 2000's and the OPPO F1S has it's own technology driven Beautify Mode, Auto Mode Screen Flash, plus various filters that can even enhance your pictures further. You can also shoot photos via voice commands or their palm shutter that makes it more efficient. 

You can also rely on finger print activated app launch as this smartphone doesn't just open it, it activates apps for you with just one touch. You can connect with your friends online, not just to have lovely selfies but faster processing. It's got an octa core, a 3GB RAM, 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 4 screen so it's tough than your old phones. It's also got a metal body and the Color OS 3.0 that can extend your phone usage via power saving mode. It's got tons of other modes and features plus a whopping 3075 mAh battery that can last you all throughout the day! That only means it is impressive on paper, even better in real life! 

Home Credit is their partner and offers the OPPO F1s at an affordable 6 month installment plan that you can ay for as low as Php 2,165, 0% interest per month. Now that's enough reason to get one without hurting your wallet right? Prices start at Php 12,990 which is one of the most affordable ones in the market with that premium finish and specs bar none. Pros: I like how bright it is in instances I was in the shade or indoors.

As for me, I had fun doing this with my peers in the blogging industry. I also loved how humble and kind the celebrities were while we did an Amazing Race type of adventure around the resort. Thanks to OPPO for letting us experience the phone for a few hours, at least we got the gist on how it works. Cons is just the gyro part which felt funny when I played Pokemon Go, but it does work with it don't get me wrong. Anybody could live with that at this price point. Find it in stores and official retailers nationwide! (Pre Order starts August 12-18 so hurry!)

P.S. watch the new Sarah Geronimo OPPO F1S Commercial, it's really funny!
