Southern France Living in Tagaytay Highlands: PROVENCE

Thursday, November 19, 2020



I’ve always dreamed of living in South France. It’s not that snotty rich feeling that is fleeting, more of a little mix of French and Mediterranean as its proximity to the sea changes things. I also dream of a calm breeze, where seaside restaurants abound, and the only thing I hear is my glass of wine clink and the smell of freshly baked croissant permeate the landscape as it is done next door. I also want to see the quaint shabby chic houses, miles of vineyards and olive groves. To live simply amongst warm gentle people, they’ve also got a culture of Spanish in the mix as the border is quite close… oh I would love to live like that here.

 


 
I’ve been to Tagaytay Highlands. That awesome place reminds me of Europe and the ambiance of different countries. I’ve heard they’re putting out more luxurious residential concepts and one of them is called PROVENCE. An apt word to describe that region, they’re making huge lots into these dreamy communities all in this world class mountain resort. Now you don’t have to go out of the country and leave your loved ones behind, because you can do it in the Philippines. You get a tropical country (which you can also go to anytime of the day) and the ambiance and homes just like in the South of France, isn’t that amazing?


In Provence, you get a prime location on a gentle southbound slope. In it, you can stroll along the scenic road of Lakeside Fairways Drive where you can marvel at the lush and floral landscapes, amidst unobstructed views of Taal Lake and its surrounding mountains, one of which is Mt. Makiling. The units at Provence are designed with old French architecture and ambiance in mind. They use elements like wood, stones, and wooden shutters in soft pastel colors. The property also has a 3.8-meter-wide promenade, filled with flowery shrubs and trees. They also have the Parc Central which has got an infinity pool, another for kids so residents can just lounge and escape with Tagaytay's scenic views. This is such a postcard worthy location; you would want to live in it the same way as you would do in the South of France.

 



This is a low-density community with only 14 lots per hectare. Provence only has 119 lots and is very limited. Spaces are also from 240 to 451 square meters, more than enough for a huge family. It also comes with facilities for rest and recreation, which is why some wouldn’t leave their homes and enjoy a very cool climate in the mountains of Tagaytay.

Vivo V20 Series Boasts ULTIMATE Selfie Camera

Wednesday, November 18, 2020

 


 

After getting released last October 31, users have been seeing the value of the new Vivo V20 series. The smartphone has been able to impress, with new things being discovered by users after its official launch. It looks like the phone has so much features to play with and yes, these phones pack a pretty huge combo of hardware which current owners adore.

The lovely Vivo V20 and V20 Pro has got a 44MP front cameras. Imagine what that would get when taking your selfies, your images would be huge, details would be crisp and clear. The videos would also become that good, vloggers would find this a refreshing alternative to their huge cameras. It is also convenient to carry around, making you take your workflow at an easy pace but never disregard quality. After uploading them, quality wise, you’ll really stand out, you get to #BeTheFocus and stay ahead of the competition.



It's in the details

Because the Vivo V20 and V20 Pro has a 44MP front camera, that only means that you can have a lot of detail on the images. With this above standard camera sensor, you can get crisp shots and wether photos or videos. You can simply crop if needed, especially if you take photos in crowded areas. If you want to take away unnecessary clutter in a shot, that can be easily done. Aside from that, the selfies have AI Face beauty features, which can make you a little bit better than usual when you have imperfections you want to improve.

It also has Night Scene options so when you do have to take photos in low light conditions, it would be easy to see details. It won't be awkward to take shots in parties or occasions. The phone can also take real 4K videos, which means shooting, editing your vlogs will be a cinch. That would be good for aspiring or professional content creators. The possibilities are endless.


Shooting Videos with Reactions

These days, vlogging requires content that need reactions real time. Those reactions channels have sprouted up like mushroom because viewers want real emotions, and if you can catch that on video while taking a video, wouldn't that be awesome? The Vivo V20 series can actually do that. No more editing and putting hours of editing time to sync two videos on top of another. This can record footage from the back and front cameras at the same time. Now I haven't seen that done yet by other phone manufacturers; it's a real refreshing feature for a phone.

Aside from that, the vivo V20 series has the steadiface video feature. It locks on subjects and stays on focus, a thing that vloggers would actually be problematic with. Now you have something to battle those dizzying footages you take when in motion, you can also take slow motion videos with the front camera if you need to. It can take your creative mind places where you've never had with your video cameras, plus imagine the things you can do with that in cinematic shots. That's a whole lot of features for a smartphone.

You can #BeTheFocus with the vivo V20 series. If you want to have them, it’s all available in Lazada and Shopee.  You can also get them at Vivo concept stores nationwide. You can get more information about the phones at vivoglobal.ph. It’s all there!

Merrell Holiday Rush Sale on Shopee Takes up to 70% OFF on Ladies’ Shoes & Sandals

 

 

Having a Merrell would always be synonymous with love for outdoors. I think I got a pair a couple years ago but it got lost somewhere, but what I felt when I had it was how tough it was even on tough terrain. Imagine how sharp rocks are while hiking, spelunking, climbing, and all that stuff you do outside. It provided protection, comfort, even in those rugged situations and I’m glad to have seen it work quite well despite that. 

 

This time however, they’re treating the ladies in Shopee as they bring several of their best selling shoes via their Merrell Holiday Rush Sale which can get them up to 70% OFF its regular price, something women would love so they can take these shoes places. I know, it is kinda crazy how they just give these high performance shoes away like that, you get premium and tough pairs for a fraction of a cost. I mean, that clearly doesn’t come everyday so if you’re looking for shoes these days, Merrell has good offers. To make it even easier for you, let's check out these items!

Pretty light too because of its material. Same with the Around Town Sunvue Post which has even better straps which are more on the formal side, you can take it out on casual walks without worrying it wouldn’t be presentable on normal days.

How To Help Typhoon Ulysses and Rolly Victims

Sunday, November 15, 2020

It was so heartbreaking to see people fleeing, stuck in their roofs or crossing mud filled waters in the island of Luzon which all happened this month. People are still suffering so I wanted to just help those who would like to extend a hand and give information about these avenues where you can help donate clothes, food, water, funds so they could all recover.

 Our friends from Bloggers United are collating funds and also selling their personal stuff (preloved and brand new) to raise funds for this cause. Here are their details, Paul Pax and Ana are good blogger friends and they've been doing other causes even before this happened. If you want to help, this would be a good place to start!


Aside from that, there are several partner organizations that PayMaya has been working with for Typhoon Relief which you can find via https://donate.paymaya.com/collections/typhoon-relief 

 



 

You can donate as low as 50 pesos, but if you have more, please do donate as much as you can. These organizations have been doing it for years and they can channel your donations to where it is needed. If you haven't downloaded the PayMaya app yet, please do on Google Play or the App Store. Use my code 2JH7062 so you can get 50 pesos for free, you can use that to donate to these organizations too. I'll do the same if ever you sign up. If you use these QR codes to donate via their partner organizations, you will get a notification in the contact details you have provided regarding your successful donation.

If you prefer donating clean clothes, blankets, face masks, alcohol, bottled water, hygeine kits for women, toiletries, canned goods, flashlights, cleaning materials, you may opt to bring them here in Quezon City where an aircraft is bringing 500kgs of goods to Tuguegarao come Monday.You may contact Danica via 09566692843 then coordinate bringing your donations to #41 Maliksi St., Namoco Grand Residence, Brgy. Pinyahan, Diliman in Quezon City.


It is also world kindness day, so if you want to make someone's day even brighter, you can use the PayMaya app for a lot of other things. I would suggest you do donate to local churches, organizations of people you know. Southern Luzon, Marikina, Rizal and Cagayan still needs a lot of things especially potable water. 

 

GMA Kapuso Foundation also needs donations, you can course it through these channels and they will help victims of the Luzon typhoons.

 

 

Please donate as much as you can, they need our help.
