OPPO F1s Selfie Filter

I've been wanting to have a new cellphone for a loooong while now. Nowadays, a nifty smartphone can spell the big difference in your everyday life. But being a teacher of many responsibilities and expenses, buying the latest smartphone is something I don't have the privilege of. I have to weigh all the pros and cons: the camera specifications, the memory capacity, the design, and most importantly - the price! before I consider it "THE ONE." Hehe. Every tiny detail counts. Scouring the market, I think I found just what I need without breaking my bank account: an OPPO F1s! Why I want an OPPO F1s cellphone? Well, let me count the ways:

1. CAMERA SPECS. It has 16MP front camera and 13MP rear camera! It's not called Selfie Expert for nothing! LOL. I'm already sold with this but if that's not enough for you, well, read on on what this phone has to offer. (Click on the image to enlarge)

This phone can also capture wonderful night shots. (I wish I have this phone when the Supermoon happened.)




This phone also features Selfie Panorama so no one will be left behind in the selfie!




Speaking of selfies, OPPO F1s has plug-ins and filters that will enhance any photos. They have: Café,
Bright, Candy, Shine, Soft, Fade, and Mono. I'll probably use the Bright filter because I take pictures indoor most of the times.



2. MEMORY CAPACITY. It has 3GB RAM and octa-core 64-bit processor. Whoa! With so many apps having a fast processor is a necessity.

3. PRICE. Right now OPPO F1s is P12,990 at Lazada. With all the things it can do, I think it's reasonably priced.

4. DESIGN. The design is candy to the eye. Right now they have Gold, Rose Gold, Grey.  But now OPPO F1s is available in a limited edition space gray color. How cool is that?

OPPO F1s is really a value for the money! And yes, since it’s 28 days before Christmas, this will be a great Christmas gift for yourself or for someone dear to you!

Christmas Must Go On.

This is the first for our family. Every year we always have Noche Buena. But this year I don't feel like celebrating Christmas at all. No gifts  for my son to open. No new clothes to wear. No extra special things. I am sad actually. Last Friday, 4 days before Christmas, my tita who lived three doors away from us died. Unexpectedly. She was still alive when we went to market that afternoon. Then in the evening, she was rushed to the hospital because she suffered a stroke and was in comatose. The next day she was pronounced dead. Just like that.

When Paul Walker died, I don't feel sad. I was shocked after all he was just 40? But when someone I know personally died, that's a different story. The death is too real. One day they are here with us, and the next day they are gone. Forever. Sorry is not the hardest word to say. It's Goodbye. The memories are even harder to forget. It's easy to say that life goes on but if anyone from my family dies, I can't even describe the grief I will be feeling.

But that's the way it is. God will take what God has given. When or how only He knows. I was telling my mother when I die I don't want a long wake. Just two days and bury me. I also told her I want to be buried in a memorial park and not in Tawiran Cemetery. Haha. Morbid. But that's reality. I don't want a sudden death. I want time to say goodbye. I want to prepare myself. Sorry. It's not the proper way to write on a Christmas eve. But this is what I'm feeling right now. Maybe tomorrow, I'll feel a bit happier.

But no matter what, Christmas must go on. And please don't post your greetings and I love yous in Facebook. If you can tell them yourself face-to-face tell them! Life is too short.

My Early Bday and Christmas List

Ber na! Mlapit na bday ko at cyempre ang pasko! So to those meaning to give me gifts (ehem ate, ehem janice, ehem eddieboy) maybe this list would help you decide. Di naman ako excited diba?!

1. Mini sewing machine so I can make a lot of repairs and projects.

2. Friends DVDs (all season) so I wouldn't have to watch the reruns on the tv.

3. Books, books! I'm collecting Mitch Albom now. I already have Tuesdays with Morrie and The Five People You Meet in Heaven. This one I want:

4. Smart phone. Coz my phone is not too smart that's why. Ok na sakin kahit Cherry Mobile at samahan nyo na rin ng powerbank. :p

5. Wristwatch. One from Timex if you insist. :)

6. Hair rebond. Ako na sana gagastos pero kung sasagutin nyo, mas ok sa akin!

7. USB Flash Disk 16gig. I still can't find my 2gig flash disk until now. Riley, umamin ka na kasi san mo nilagay! 

There. Don't bother to wrap it up, ok?
