Is the Vivo V5s Better Than The Oppo F3 Plus?

That seems to be the question that was commonly thrown at me by my friends through social media. Which phone is better? I guess it's just fair to put them side by side, not for me to endorse anything but for you to at least make a better decision. But really, is the Vivo V5s better than the Oppo F3 Plus?

The Camera. You can say all you want about how good that is but if you don't have the size of the image even close then it's not a contest. The Vivo V5s has a 20 Megapixel front cam and F2.0 apeture so you get the light that you need even if it's on lowlight conditions. It's going to be less grainy, better looking if you compare it side by side. The Oppo F3 Plus only has 16 Megapixels.

The Selfie Softlight. Good photos need good lighting, but none of thise harsh ones that's going to make you look like a deer in headlights. It's supposed to be natural looking, even at night. Does Oppo do better? I don't know.

The Face Beauty. Vivo V5s has got Face Beauty 6.0 whilst the Oppo F3 Plus uses Face Beauty 4.0. The first has got new buffing, whitening and enhancing functions versus the latter. 

The Group Selfie feature. It's not even one function that is available in the other phones. Imagine taking photos with your friends easier, take it with ease just by swerving instead of getting a not so convenient selfie stick which looks cheap by any standard. Isn't that neat?

It can do App Cloning. Imagine how convenient it is for not having to have another phone to use for your other social media accounts because you have them all in one unit. Just login with the different account and you're good.

At almost the same price point, Vivo V5s gives you more functionalities and features. If it's better than the Oppo F3 Plus, you be the judge. If you want to know more go visit Facebook.com/vivophil or their IG and Twitter accounts @vivophil and they have more of these phones in their arsenal so if you don't like this one, they have a few more in their line that you could be interested in.

BUM Back To School 2017 Part 1

Meeting them on this day got me excited because aside from the usual suspects like Nash, Miguel, Alexa and Bianca I was looking forward to meet two more endorsers for BUM as they shoot their BUM Back To School 2017 campaign.

Now I'm not going to lie to you that I was really disappointed that one of the new endorsers didn't get to appear for interviews because he did other things albeit being booked for this shoot in advanced and I tried to interview him during other events but he declined despite my efforts. So if you don't see him here, don't ask why.

Anyway we still have Jazz Ocampo, an up and coming GMA actress. She's pretty, articulate, and you can feel how glad she was with the opportunity to be with Nash, Alexa, Miguel and Bianca. She's also done her homework because as far as her modeling skills go, she's got tons of poses for the photographer. I was impressed! If you don't know her yet, you better take notice of her early because from the looks of it, she's got the x factor which will make her become a big star real soon. She's also donned countless commercials and TV shows as she's had a really good work history with TV5 too as she started with TV5's Star Factor.

Oh and before I start, you will be seeing part 2 of these BTS shots tomorrow :) so you guys stay tuned okay? Follow me on IG and Twitter @kumagcow please so you wouldn't miss any shots as I'm going to try and tease you more there!

When I arrived at the venue they were already shooting the layouts for the billboard and a couple of posters which you will see inside the stores. If you love Miguel, you'll love him more seeing how he kept his cool even under the sweltering heat of the sun!

Miguel and Bianca has already worked with Jazz in the past as all of them pretty much grew up together auditioning for different tv shows and commercials too.

Bianca being fierce as always. Then sweetheart Miguel shows how sweet he is with her.

See how pretty she is on camera? There's more of this on BUM's official Facebook page. :)

I was happy to see Nashie because once he spotted me he said "Kulang talaga yung BUM shoot pag wala ka" (The BUM shoot would really be incomplete without you) haha and we laughed so hard!

You could see how hot it was in Laguna when we did this shoot. I was dripping wet of sweat so I didn't make any movement and changed shirtd before I interviewed them. They were a little lucky because they change shirts every frame and someone takes charge in wiping off their sweat in between takes. I'm sure if that was a job there would be lots of volunteers for Nashie boy hahahah! Am I right?

Because Nash was hot Alexa drank a glass of ice cold water! Haha :)

Nash also did that also during our small talk.

Alexa all smiles, she was really fun to interview as she was also telling me about the airplay she's getting with her new single. Hopefully she will do more mall tours and shows real soon. Please make sure you send requests to malls where there are BUM branches if you want to see them. Because without that they won't be able to come to you.

Stay tuned for tomorrow's post! I hope you enjoy these interviews with Nash, Alexa and new BUM ambassador Jazz Ocampo!

The World Street Food Congress 2017

The aim is to promote Philippine streetfood and to know how food has evolved around the region and countries beyond. When one travels, food is something you can get along with people no matter how language barriers become a problem. According to Anton Diaz, Philippine streetfood is somehow misunderstood and asks the need to change that notion via education of the food culture. We go the lengths on how things work and how to eat in one country, we should do the same in ours. They invited a lot of speakers and experts around the world to let people know here and around the region how we could make each gustotatory adventure a good one by learning the culture that goes with every meal. 

Spearheading the ceremonies included popular TV host and entrepreneur KF Seetoh whom I often watch in Singaporean and Malaysian TV shows over at Asian Food Channel on cable. His passion about food and culture is unquestionable and he's partnered with local corporations to open Makan Sutra in SM Megamall, you should visit that to understand what I mean. Everything is there including the best regional southeast asian dishes. As you may know, to promote Filipino food around the world we need to teach through a Filipino cooking school, or perhaps collaborate with a lot of people who already have a following. The Philippines has a lot of world class social corporations who would gladly work with producers, you just ask and they do often say yes right away. You can use social media to promote places, restaurants, hidden destinations, it will make then go there.

I like that in the World Street Food Dialogue also integrated Philippine Festivals, learning heritage food and transfer of skills, exotic food, and tons of talks from industry experts who also took a jab at what the current things foreigners know about the country. Hopefully we'll serve the culture better in a plate. I mean take a look at this!

If you want to eat the world, come to the World Street Food Congress 2017 as it is still ongoing until Sunday this week. Tickets are set at Php150 which is consumable too in the rows of food shops outside at the SM MOA Concert Grounds. Who knows you might also see Anthony Bourdain there! 

Foodies should definitely come!

Quaker Oats Overnight Breakfast Club

Having the time of my life at the Quaker Oats Overnight Breakfast Club together with other bloggers and influencers from Manila. I already had breakfast but that wouldn't stop me from enjoying one thing that Filipinos have loved over the years, that's Quaker Oats, am I right?

I still remember the days my Mom cooks this before I go t school, or on days that I had to workout and have breakfast first just by adding water (no joke!). I'm sure we all have our stories because it's part of our lives. You may have bought other brands from other countries, but you can't just compare the whole oats which tastes so good anytime of the day!

At the event they had us make the most important meal of the day, that's breakfast! This is some sort of a life hack as they prepare meals for the morning while preparing it ahead of time, like at night. After all it kicks off the metabolism, a thing that healthy families should do. Quaker has base oats, rolled oats, or the oat dairy drink and cereal drinks or just their cookies. Instant, quick cook and rolled oats are for different cooking processes but overall, they are all very high in fiber that aids in digestion and gives you energy for your activities all throughout the day!

You can start by putting in a mason jar half cup of Quaker Rolled Oats, sliced bananas and strawberries, some walnuts, some milk, seal it off and put it on the fridge overnight. That's what you can have for breakfast in the morning. Some even add protein bars, honey, other fruits, or just customize everything so you don't have to skip breakfast. You don't have to prepare the whole day because even if you are busy, you can do this just like Wil Dasovich, Patty, Lauren Young. You just basically doing raw and activating it by soaking it overnight. You get it soaked and you will know everything that you put in your mouth. You can find these in your groceries, local markets, all real stuff. It will thicken up, be creamy, you can check how to do it in OvernightOats.com. 

Wil Dasovich did a version with Mangoes. He likes it more as he likes his fruits in the morning, he adds low fat yogurt, honey, pour in the milk, and chia seeds. He loves anything that has got Omega 3 in them so you can substitute if you have something healthier, I think it's more of texture. 

Then we had our breakfast, a good one at that. There are always different things you can do with it, just work around your lifestyle and make it convenient. To become a member of The Quaker Overnight Brekfast Club, you don't need to be fancy shmancy, just make one and tag QuakerOatsph on IG and you'll get the chance to win prizes from Quaker Oats Philippines too!

Isn't it a good day to have breakfast? :)
