Shades of blue stretching out into the sea... Sounds of waves crashing on the shore, exciting food, rest and relaxation is what you'll get when you land in Mactan, Cebu and stay at Crimson Hotels and Resorts Mactan. You see, getting lost in the Queen City of the South has never been more serene, calm and luxurious. I got to find it out for myself first hand and I'm here to share my story with you all. ;)





Last August, I got the chance to fly all the way to Cebu with the EATGetAway team. A much needed vacation was in the works for some time now for this mommy, and finally, I got it!

The Villa

Yes, there are also hotel rooms available for guests, but we stayed here in this fine and spacious Beachfront villa for 2 nights. When I went in... I couldn't keep my excitement and was going OMG and WOW the whole time. Why? Let me tour you around.


One of the perks of the Beachfront Villa aside from it being really really close to the infinity pool and the beach is the plunge pool! Can't get enough of the infinity pool? Or the Crimzone pool here inside Crimson Mactan? Or maybe you want a bit of privacy... You can always take a dip in the private plunge pool!




It was like having your own beach house! The villa was spacious and well designed with high end, chic amenities and decors.


The villa has a sitting area, dining area, a massive bathroom with an awesome bathtub to soak all your troubles away... And this bed right here? It's pretty much heaven because once you lie on it, it feels like the bed is hugging you and engulfing you to stay and sleep it. It's so soft and fluffy but at the same time pretty firm!





The villa can occupy up to 3 adults or 2 adults and 2 kids. The sofa is actually a pull out sofa bed and it's also pretty comfortable so no worries!




I opted for the Sofa bed though as my roomies are occupying the bedroom. :D There's TV in the bedroom and the sitting area which you can connect to a chromecast or a mii box and watch netflix.


You can also order food if you don't want to go out of the villa- and I'll understand perfectly because said villa is just so inviting, massive, and chic!


The mangoes are complimentary and are replaced every day alongside a bottle of wine. In house dining can start up to 300Php and up. :D

Hey guys! Get ready to laugh your guts out because Jo Koy, the guy who got smothered in effin Vicks Vapor Rub, made you laugh with his own life experiences on growing up with a pinay mother while giving a lighthearted take on sterotypes is coming to his motherland!

His brand of comedy is one of the best that I have ever gotten, and I am now saying sorry for my inaanaks because I'll be saving up for this and will probably have to hide again from them come Christmas time. HAHAHAHA JK.


 If you think his Netflix special, Jo Koy Live in Seattle is a hoot, wait till you see him LIVE.

Here's Jo Koy's Tour Schedule + Ticket Prices in Manila and Cebu:

I've been out of it lately. Lost my bearings and all that. The only thing that kept me sane was Harry Potter, rock music and the guy who gave me this shirt. Call me spineless, that I can't embody that whole strong, independent woman shit but come on. Once in a while, as a human, it will hit us. That unbearable feeling of being lost and scared shitless and really pained in life. 

Tony Stark, and eventually the guy who played Iron Man, Robert Downy Jr, is one of my lifetime idols.

OPPO, Philippines’ Top 2 International smartphone brand is launching something that will make selfie addicts and photography enthusiasts everywhere scream YES!





The OPPO F5 is the latest edition of OPPO's Selfie Expert Series set to be launched on October 26. OPPO’s latest model will also be launched in other South East Asian markets such as Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam and including India.
Teasers of the new OPPO F5 as seen in leading malls, airport, and the recent Star Magic Ball have received an overwhelming feedback and strong anticipation among its fans and consumers. OPPO’s answer to the recent full-screen device announcements made by other smartphone brands has been much awaited by the market.

The OPPO F5 not only offers its first full-screen model, but also an A.I. Beauty Recognition technology that further cements its position as the Selfie Expert in the market. The new features found on the F5 have been designed to meet the current demands of its ever-increasing young mobile user target group.

OPPO’s first Full-Screen Device

The F5 will feature OPPO’s first full-screen FHD+ display model, providing a vivid, visual enjoyment without increasing the size of the phone. The 2160 x 1080 high-resolution screen offers a more immersive experience when watching videos and gaming, as well as running Split Screen mode – running two apps together side by side on the same screen.

New A.I. selfie expert for capturing the Real You

For the first time, the OPPO F5 will feature the groundbreaking A.I. Beauty Recognition technology – which uses artificial intelligence to recognize skin tone and type, the gender and age of all subjects within an image and analyze environment lighting conditions by referencing other facial images from a massive global photo database, to beautify a selfie shot.

The A.I. technology will scan more than 200 facial recognition spots, learning the unique facial features of a subject (for example - the nose, cheek, lower jaw etc.), to make the best enhancements for each image, regardless of the facial expressions or shooting angle. The A.I. will self-learn and enhance each shot, as it takes more and more selfies.

The technology can also differentiate male from female subjects and infants from adults, to make appropriate enhancements for the user and all subjects within an image. It answers the main complaints of current beautification software – which produces same--for-all treatment and unnatural or fake-looking selfies.

More Simple and Humanized features to be expected

The OPPO F5 will come with features and functions that are simpler and more humanized, which would be unveiled at the launch event later on.

The OPPO F5 will be officially launched on October 26 at City of Dreams, Pasay City. OPPO is set to capture real moments together with OPPO’s celebrity ambassadors in a night filled with style and innovation.

I recently unboxed the Asus Zenfone 4 Selfie a couple of weeks ago.. Asus for me is a new brand to delve into. I am not a hardcore techie, I ask my husband for some help with the specs of things but I do know a few basics like how memory and the processor are things to look out for if you're into gaming.


As for me, I always look into the rear camera and the front camera capabilities as well because of my passion for photography. And from using the Asus Zenfone Selfie 4, I must say I'm pretty impressed. So here are the top 3 features I love, why I think this unit is awesome and a full review + Specs of the Asus Zenfone Selfie 4:
