Alcatel OneTouch Flash 2 Launch

     It's been two years since I bought a new smartphone. Honestly, I'm already happy with my phone because I already get the hang of using it. But when brands are launching their new phone models boasting with different features, I always feel left alone. Since I take photos often to be used in product reviews and features, I need to arm myself with a mobile phone that gives a new level in the field of photography.

     I guess the wait is finally over for a new prime model of smartphone that will make my photos crisp and clear. Alcatel Flash pushes the limits in camera and phone as it launch the second and much better version of the Alcatel Flash One. I was invited to the launch of Alcatel Flash last September 22 and got the first dibs on their latest prime model, the Alcatel Flash 2, with an even stronger focus on mobile photography than ever before. Fresh with their new brand color “Flash Green” signifying innovation, youth and energy, the Alcatel Flash 2 builds upon Alcatel Flash’s commitment in providing mobile users a unique mobile photography experience – mobigraphy.

pH Care Naturals Papaya

     There are a lot of factors that can influence a woman’s confidence when it comes to donning that swimsuit, including puson problems and cleavage consciousness. But one other common insecurity many women have is dark skin in and around the feminine area, and this is something they can feel self-conscious about even in the comfort and privacy of their own rooms and bathrooms. And, while there are many products for whitening dark skin in other parts of the body, most of these aren’t safe or suited for use in intimate areas.

Taking a selfie, a family dinner, your child's new toy, your company outing, and the concert of  your favorite artist needs a beautiful camera that will show the best features of the subject/s that you wanted to share in your social media accounts. With the advancement of technology, there are so many features that makes a mobile phone standout from the rest of the competition. In order to take crisp, clear, and beautiful photos using your mobile phone, one must be equipped with a smartphone that has a camera that stands out. 

     Be a Shooting Star with the Starmobile KNIGHT Elite’s Star Cam Feature! In the recent survey, Philippines may be the Social Media Capital of the World, but findings from a recent study by Universal MCCann (http://wave.umww.com/)shows that people all over the globe feel happier the more people engage with their social media posts. But with so many people on everyone’s feeds, how can you stand out? By taking and sharing awesome, attention-grabbing photos, of course! And that’s where Starmobile KNIGHT Elite comes in. I would like to share more of the phone's feature below and why you need this smartphone if you want to get noticed!

Starmobile KNIGHT Elite with Star Cam Launch

     I was invited to an intimate lunch at Highlands Steakhouse in Estancia Capitol Commons a week ago for the unveiling of Starmobile's newest smartphone- Starmobile KNIGHT Elite. This smartphone comes with a unique built-in Star Cam feature to help you take photos that are sure to get noticed—not to mention pretty up your social media feeds!

With the Boys Night Out DJs and Starmobile Product Marketing Manager Elijah Mendoza

     Okay, another smart phone to take beautiful selfies and other photos but what makes it stand out? Find out here:

     The secret lies in three functions exclusive to the Star Cam: ReFocus, Chroma Flash, and Opti Zoom.

Starmobile KNIGHT Elite with Star Cam Launch

• ReFocus lets you choose the focal point of your shot after you’ve taken the photo. The function works by simultaneously taking five photos at varying lengths then compressing them into a single file so you can select a single object (or face!) to focus on just by clicking on the area you want spotlighted. 
• Chroma Flash is a boon for anyone who has to take photos in low-light environments—it takes two photos in rapid succession, one with flash and one without it, and combines them into a single photo. Say goodbye to overexposed colors natural-looking skin tones!
• Opti Zoom shoots multiple photos simultaneously to ramp up the texture and sharpness of your zoomed-in pictures. Results are clearer, cleaner, and smoother compared to regular digital zoom.

Starmobile Product Marketing Manager Elijah Mendoza

     What does this mean for you? It means you can be a total “shooting” star thanks to these functions, no matter what kind of star you want to be.

For Foodies: Use ReFocus to highlight one particular dish on a table or in a buffet or identify the star dish on your dinner spread.

For Toy Geeks: Caught yourself in a “look, but don’t touch” situation at the Toy Con? Use the Opti Zoom feature to capture the fine details of that must-have collectible.

For Travel Junkies: Sightseeing is not just about the sights—it’s about the people as well. Share photos of the interesting people you met using Chroma Flash.

For Fangirls and Fanboys: Don’t have seats near the stage at a concert? See your crush or your fave celeb out and about town? You’ll thank the heavens Star Cam has Opti Zoom!

The Global Mala Project

     Healthy lifestyle is the in thing today. If  you think that traditional exercises in the gym is boring, there are many forms of exercise that will condition your mind and body. One of the popular forms of exercise and meditation today is yoga. In line with this, I would like to interest you in one of the event that will happen for a cause. The Global Mala Project, the largest unified worldwide yoga event, will occur on September 26th, in line with the United Nation’s Day of Peace and the Fall Equinox at WhiteSpace Manila.

The Global Mala Project

     Dedicated to promote peace and positive change through yoga, as well as raise social consciousness and funds for noteworthy causes, The Global Mala Project is Teresa Hererra’s annual heart project. Seeking to create a “mala around the earth,” (In traditional yoga, a mala is a set of beads, used to focus awareness during meditation) she was inspired by her yoga mentor and the Global Mala Project’s founder Shiva Rea, to bring the event to our shores. As a model, environmentalist, and yoga teacher, Teresa shares the vision of her mentor in creating a positive energy through yoga that would pulsate around the world. In the recent months, she has been working closely with event producers and yoga centers around Manila to ensure the success of this event. All of the event collaborators are doing the work completely pro-bono, to ensure that 100 % of its proceeds go to charity. This year’s event will benefit Children’s International.

The Global Mala Project

     Yoga is a union of body and mind. When you practice yoga, you put yourself in a state of openness and grace. From this place, mindfulness stems and we make conscious decisions for ourselves and for our world around us,” she emphatically shares. While the beads of the mala allow an individual to focus during meditation, it is the hope of the organizers ofthe Global Mala Project to create a chain of connection and compassion among those who will be a part of it. “There is no pre-requisite to begin this practice. Just an open mind and an open heart. Hope to see you on the mat,” is Teresa’s message to the class attendees.
