First and foremost, I just want to say that I was really amazed when I learned about the newest ZenFones from ASUS. We were invited to join the ASUS ZenFest, a gathering of Zenfone fans at Rekado Davao. The ASUS team introduced the newest Zenfones in the market and all of us were truly impressed and we cannot wait to get a hands-on experience with these gadgets.

ZenFone 2 Laser

One of my favorites because of it’s sleek design and back case. It has a 5.5 inch display and an Anti-Scratch Corning Gorilla Glass 3. Storage is at 128 GB MLC ROM and supports MicroSD up to 64GB. Front camera - 5MP and Rear camera - 13MP. This has the PixelMaster and PixelEnhancing Technology that will make your photos even brighter and clear. It’s a DUAL SIM phone and it charge up to 60% capacity in 39 minutes! And as I’ve said, this has a unique back cover because it has a chameleon type of color. It has an illusion of changing colors. You see blue, then you see maroon, violet, etc. More specs here.


Zenfone Selfie

I guess this was the most promising phone and all of us got excited to try the Zenfone Selfie. It has a 5.5 inch display and an Anti Scratch Corning Glass 4.32GB ROM storage and supports micro SD’s. The best part is that it has a 13MP front and rear camera! How cool is that?! It has low light mode, back light mode, macro focus, manual mode, and super resolution mode. Real time beautification effects made my girl friends go gaga over it. No more editing your selfies with this phone.

This is also a DUAL SIM phone with full HD video recording. It comes in Pure white, Aqua Blue, and Chick Pink. More specs here.

This year marks the 25 beautiful years of The Belo Medical Group in the science of beauty business. From a humble 40 sq meter clinic, they now have 11 clinics all over the country. They just recently opened 2 new branches, one in Davao which is a first in Mindanao, and one in SM North EDSA. So to celebrate another milestone, Belo goes festive last August 10-12 in Abreeza Mall Davao and made this a memorable one.

The Belo Medical Group in Davao opened its doors last February 2015 and since then, they received positive support from their existing and new customers all over Mindanao. The Davaoenos really waited for a long time for Belo to put a clinic here in the city. Now, we don’t need to take a flight to Manila or Cebu to experience the magic of Belo.

I was so lucky to be part of their grandest press launch at SEDA Hotel Davao last August 12. It was hosted by Cristalle Belo-Henares, with their endorsers, Margie Moran Floirendo and Piolo Pascual.

We had a great lunch and we had fun creating these headdresses organized by Gatchi & Gatchi Events.

Dr. Vicki Belo shared to us her humble beginnings and memorable experiences in putting up a big beauty business.

Piolo and Margie also shared their stories and why they are still with the brand they love for how many years.

Of course, I had to take a picture with us together to know who is the most handsome guy. Well, it looks like I win. Hahaha!

After the press launch, we head down to the ribbon cutting event at the Belo clinic located at the 2nd floor of Abreeza Mall. Next to it is the grand mall show with Piolo serenading the audience.

It was indeed a festive day for Belo. The continued growth and expansion is a testament to Belo’s vision of making the Philippines the most beautiful country in the world, one person at a time.
