Three Reasons Why You Should Consider Getting The Infinix Hot S3

Last February 21, Infinix Mobility launched the Infinix Hot S3 here in the Philippines with an SRP of 7,999. I was one of the lucky few who was able to get my hands first on the newest device from Infinix and did the Unboxing and First Impressions post last week.

With that out of the way, I am now listing three reasons why the Infinix Hot S3 is worth your consideration and in your must have phone list.


Reason #1: The Camera
If selfies are your thing, this phone should be on your list. The Hot S3 is equipped with a 13mp rear camera and a 20mp lowlight selfie camera with dual LED flash. It also has with beauty and bokeh (a photography feature that highlights the main subject of a picture while blurring the background) effect.

Reason #2: Specifications
Infinix Hot S3 runs on Android 8.0 Oreo with XOS 3.0 and it features a modern 18:9 screen aspect ratio. In addition to that you have available 32gb of ROM storage and 3gb of RAM to work with. Under the hood, the Hot S3 is built with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 processor. Compared to MediaTek, it has a faster processing speed which, together with your 3gb of RAM ensures that you can multitask at ease. This phone also has a fingerprint sensor and to top it off, this device has 4000mAh of battery.

Reason #3: The Price
Originally priced at Php7,999, the Infinix Hot S3 is now made more affordable and will be available at Shopee starting 12AM to 12PM of February 28 for ONLY Php5,999 for the first 500 units. You'll never get an amazing deal anywhere else.

Celebrate Everything Furry at FurryPinas 2018


Do you know what a Furry is? Well, if you have seen movies like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Zootopia, The Lion King, shows such as My Little Pony, or anime such as Pokemon then you might have an idea. FurryPinas 2018, happening on May 19-20 at the SMX Convention Center, is a celebration of everything furry. The convention’s vision is to serve as the annual hub for furry or anthropomorphic media.

FurryPinas 2018 will be the first ever furry convention open to the public, after its first event in 2014. Holding the record as being the first furry convention in Southeast Asia, FurryPinas is the official and only furry convention in the Philippines.

What is the Furry Hobby?
Furry is not only a fandom, but also a hobby.  If you enjoy looking at personified animals in different forms of media be it movies, TV shows, anime, comics, etc., then you are part of the Furry Hobby. Some examples of animal characters would include famous characters like Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny, Woody Woodpecker, and many more.



Most of the communities involved in the Furry Hobby had been established long ago. Take for example Sylvanian Families, one of the most popular toys in the market which has existed since 1985. Made by the Japanese gaming company Epoch in 1985, Sylvanian Families is a collection of anthropomorphic animal figurines and model sets. Distributed around the world, they have become so popular that there is a growing community here in the Philippines, one that remains strong to this day.

Other communities such as a fan base for Pokemon have been very lively since the countless adorable critters have been popping out not only in our gaming consoles, but also in our phones, in the form of Pokemon Go. It is not uncommon to see someone throwing virtual Pokeballs at a virtual Pokemon while walking.

Why would you attend FurryPinas 2018?
It is one of the most unique conventions happening this 2018. If you will be attending, then you are among the first to experience this one of a kind event. Despite being such a unique event, the tickets are also affordable with the basic entry level ticket costing at Php115 inclusive of a lanyard and a con ID badge (early bird). 



That’s not all! Anyone who purchases a ticket will surely get freebies during the event. FurryPinas 2018 recognizes everyone who supports the event, no matter the type of ticket they buy, but do remember that greater freebies are in store for those who want more.

If you are an artist, designer, cosplayer, a fan of movies, shows, toys, and other content featuring anthro or humanized animals then you would not want to miss this. This event will bring you various activities and features which you will surely love!

What happens at FurryPinas 2018?
FurryPinas 2018 brings two huge guests in the Furry Hobby. First is Pocari Roo, an Australian furry fan and full-time YouTuber with over 100 videos on her channel and over 50,000 subscribers. She is primarily known for her Youtube channel where she does vlogs, music videos, how-tos, Q&As, and more, with a family friendly rating and a primary focus on being positive, entertaining, and helpful.

Bapogichi is also guesting at FurryPinas 2018.  A fan of the furry hobby with over 40,000 followers, Bapogichi is a popular illustrator known for his various fanart of anime, webcomics, cartoons, and video games. Bapogichi is one of the moderators of the popular Buhay Kolehiyo that features personified versions of different universities in the Philippines.



Of course, the event reserves tons of interactive activities for all attendees, including talks and seminars relating to the Furry Hobby, an area to play different video games from retro to modern games and tabletop games, various contests on and off the stage, and dances and performances, among others.

One highlight of FurryPinas 2018 includes the Furry Rave Party, happening at the very end of the con, which is a celebration for all Furry Hobbyist to enjoy. Also, don’t forget the dealers den, tavern area, carnival area, and many more!

So mark your calendars on May 19-20, and let’s all go to FurryPinas 2018!

Ditch Chemical Romance for Natural Love This V-Day With Novuhair


Its Valentine’s month once again! A month full of seeking to perfectly express your love in beautiful and fabulous ways. This is because they want to ensure they're the apple of the eye of their special someone come the romantic occasion of the year that they will celebrate together. 

So if you find yourself being whisked away to a charming place or have planned on a candle-lit dinner date with your beloved, you’ve got every reason to get all glammed up on Hearts Day! Why not? T’is a celebration of love after all. 

Make a big impact by putting together a look that brings out the best in you. From your clothes and make-up to the tiny details that count, you have many options to get that stunning aura on V-Day. 

Better start with the hair, which usually draws attention to a person. Per studies, a head full of hair indicates youth and health at its best. Power and stability, on the other hand, corresponds to a long, shiny tress. A bouncy bob means bubbly personality. Meanwhile, curly locks add to masculinity and femininity. 

Gotta hair like them? Well, don’t lose hope if you ain’t have any. All you need is love. And what a better way if it comes out naturally in you. Taking good care of it should not be enforced, but rather a rewarding pamper for yourself. This applies, too, when choosing the right product for your mane. 

Stay away from chemical-based ones. This is a "must", especially when dealing with problems like shedding or thinning of the hair. Most of which contain parabens as preservatives, according to aesthetics and rejuvenation expert Dr. Cecilia Catapang.

"Through the years, as you use chemical-based product, slowly and little by little, your body absorbs the parabens, which accumulate to significant levels, enough to induce what is called an estrogen sensitive breast cancer," she says.

Synthetic hair care products have several adverse effects because they are drugs. What you don't know about them might hurt you. So avoid it the next time you go over the counter for your supplies or ditch what you’re using today for naturally-made products because they aid in stimulating hair growth while maintaining its natural water, shine and vibrancy.

Amid a glut of chemical-free hair solutions out there, Dr. Catapang recommends NOVUHAIR for its being natural and compliant to the ASEAN Cosmetic Directive, which means it doesn’t have paraben. In addition of its safety benefits, this topical scalp lotion specifically is the only hair growth product in the market containing 19 natural herbs, essential oils and co-factor nutrients working synergistically to help remedy hair problems from growth to vanishing.

NOVUHAIR helps rejuvenate, nourish and maintain moisture in the scalp and improve the overall appearance of the tress. Lastly, it’s more effective and safe solution to help remedy hair loss and promote hair growth.

Sounds like it’s time to shift to "nature’s answer to hair loss", ladies and gentlemen. It’s time to start loving again your hair with NOVUHAIR to enhance or bring back the old "crowning glory" to look your best in front of your dearest, or turning the head of a potential mate on you this V-Day. Let the love begin!
