Microsoft Lumia 950 XL: Highly Recommended for Mobile Photo and Video Coverage

Wazzup Pilipinas!

For selfies, groupfies, and other photo ops, the Microsoft Lumia 950 XL definitely gives you what you paid for, and even more, as it's a very powerful smartphone that is a small computer by itself using the familiar Windows operating system. As a blogger, it's the better valued choice for its price range.

It is the smartphone I used to take all the awesome photos and videos during many events and travels.As a blogger, it's highly recommended. It's really great in mobile photography and videography.

If you've seen some of my photos and videos, some of them were taken using the Microsoft Lumia 950 XL. I used it for the coverage of some of the activities in Binondo including a video of a long dragon passing thru Chinatown. It was also used for the coverage of the dry run opening of the Trampoline Park in Mandaluyong, the coverage of the Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta where we did a lot of activities which led to the printing of a coffee table book where all our Pampanga adventure were immortalized in print.

It was also the one I used for food photography at the new Solstice Bistro and Boulangerie located at Rockwell in Makati, of Skippy's Bar and Grill located in Bonifacio Global City, and of Eight and Co. Restaurant somewhere in Addition Hills of Quezon City. This means it's also great for food photography.

Froehlich Tours: Our Pampanga Adventure Official Transport Service

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Do you want a hassle-free and comfortable commute to avoid the inconveniences of driving, or sharing an overloaded bus ride that takes eternity stopping at every bus stop?

You'll also never have to worry about the stresses of driving and expensive parking by taking Froehlich Tours' Point to Point (P2P) bus service. Froehlich Tours continues to make a mark as a popular transport service. True enough, Philippine transportation services is gearing up to become world class thanks to Froehlich Tours.

I've seen them on the roads for the Point to Point (P2P) projects where they travel EDSA non-stop from point A to point B (Trinoma to Glorietta 5 P2P bus service) and I've seen announcements that there will soon be many more points like the upcoming one in Ortigas to Trinoma.

I've also seen their buses being used at the City of Dreams in Pasay, and plenty of posting on social media where people see their buses at other locations, so they are really almost everywhere.

This is what prompted me to contact Chris Bauer, CEO of Froehlich Tours for our Pampanga Hot Air Balloon and Restaurant Tour scheduled from February 10 to 11 at Clark, Pampanga.

Can you guess where I had the opportunity to find and talk with Chris? It all happened in Facebook. We had a common friend so I made an effort to chat with him and I was surprised that he agreed already even before he let me finalize the arrangement with his team.

1st Draft Manila Clothing: Looking Good and Comfy in Pampanga

Wazzup Pilipinas!

One year and few shirt designs later, 1st Draft Manila Clothing continues to grow bigger than ever with fabulous shirt designs that are themed with Filipino culture.

I bumped into these guys at one of the event where I was invited to cover as a blogger and their shirts designs are just too good to ignore. You'll definitely want to have a closer look as the designs are good to look at from afar and much better appreciated when up close.

The designs include Sabong (a combination of cockfighting and Alibata/Baybayin ancient Filipino writing), Novena (an act of pious Roman Catholic devotion consisting of repeated prayers), Supremo (featuring Andres Bonifacio), Kuwentong Barbero (as a tribute to barber rumors), Litson, Balut (the foreigner-dreaded hard boiled egg with partially-developed chick), Pacman and Fight of the Century (featuring our Pambansang Kamao).

We got to try four designs for our Wazzup Pilipinas five-man team which covered the 20th Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta in Clark, Pampanga on February 11 to 14, 2016.

The team wore the shirts on the first day of the event, but on the way to the venue a day before, I already gave each member of the team their shirts. Jayson got the the Balut, Peter got the Novena, Jimmylyn got the Kuwentong Barbero and Allan got the white shirt with the bestseller Supremo design. I also got the Novena design as I think those are the ones available in Extra Large sizes.
