Take party-perfect instant photos with Instax Mini 70

FUJIFILM Instax camera is a party must-have! It has become extremely popular among the youngsters, photo enthusiasts, and travelers who loves instant prints they can keep inside their wallets. Got curious about it too so I bought one for myself and I had so much fun using the Instax Mini 8 ever since. Now Fujifilm launches their latest model of instant camera: the Instax Mini 70. It delivers improved image quality, a new Selfie mode, and other exciting features that make it again, a party must-have!

The Instax Mini 70 has Auto Exposure Control Function that automatically detects the surrounding brightness then adjust the shutter speed and flash accordingly so no more dark background in your Instax photos.

A new Selfie mode is equipped in this new Instax cam. It automatically adjusts the brightness and shooting distance to the level optimized for selfie shots. There's also a mirror lens in front of the camera so you can check your best angle. A self-timer function is also featured in this camera for group shots.

One of its cool features is the Macro mode for close-up shots at a minimum of 30cm from the subject and a Landscape mode for landscape shots.

What I love about most about the Mini 70 is its modern stylish design and it comes in 3 colors: Canary Yellow, Island Blue, and Moon White.

By the way, Bea Alonzo is the newest endorser of the Fujifilm Instax Mini 70 and the X-A2. She has been seen using Fujifilm cameras during her recent trips to Japan.

I would love to own one for my next trips here and abroad. If you are interested to buy an Instax camera, check out their promos and gift packages below.

GREEN BANANA HOTEL OPENS IN DAVAO

Jexx Hinggo 11:02 PM davao , events 0 Comments

Green Banana Business Hotel is now open at the heart of one of Davao's busiest business district. This building was built in between Landco Bldg where I am currently working, and Pryce Tower along JP Laurel Avenue in Bajada. It's a very good strategy to put up a business hotel in the middle of the big establishments in the city. As a corporate employee, we bring people from our different branch here in Davao and we really find it hard to look for a good hotel for our guests.

Green Banana Business Hotel is business-friendly and very affordable. Room rates starts at P1,200. The room has hot and cold shower, cabled TV, WiFi connection, a mini bar, and high end beds.

For us, it is very accessible because it is just located in front of our building. It's near from malls, churches, banks, and restaurants. 7-Eleven is also located below the hotel and they have their own cafe, Jiggo's if you want to eat good Filipino dishes. Transportation is not a problem because the main road is just a minute away from the hotel.

I would really recommend this to our office managers if they will stay here in Davao for a couple of days. The comfort we need after work is just a few steps away from our office. It saves time, effort, and money too! I might spend a staycation here soon! :)

Location: Pryce Business Park, JP Laurel Ave., Bajada, Davao City

Hair Philosophie by Jing Monis now in Davao

Jexx Hinggo 1:29 AM davao , events 1 Comments

Your hair is your crowning glory so treat it like a king or queen.

Jing Monis - a well-renowned hairstylist and make up artist partnered with his loyal Davaoeño clients and built the newest salon in the city. Hair Philosophie by Jing Monis is now open at the 2nd Floor of Abreeza Corporate Center at J.P. Laurel Avenue, Bajada, Davao City. They are offering the latest and professional hair care at affordable prices.

The Davao Bloggers Society was invited to the grand opening last November 18, 2015. I was very pleased to be invited and eventually met Mr. Jing Monis himself. He approached us and had a short talk. He was really friendly and approachable. The media columnists, loyal customers, and celebrities like Kaye Abad, Paul Jake Castillo, Fifth Solomon, Nichole Baranda, and the PBB Big Winner Daniel Matsunaga were also invited to the grand opening. Phoemela Baranda, one of Mr. Monis' ambassadors, hosted the event.

I also had the chance to take selfies with the celebrities. (Fanboy Mode On LOLS!)

The best part was we had the chance to ask questions to the celebrity guests. I already had one in mind FOR KAYE ABAD! I'm sorry, she's just so gorgeous that night. I can still feel how mesmerized I was with her beauty and elegance. Anyway, I just asked her how was the experience as a loyal client of Jing Monis? She said he was her hairstylist ever since and she really love how he cuts her hair. Your hair gets even better after every cut, she said.

Jing Monis mentioned that he trained their Davao hair stylists for months so you will be assured that your hair will be well taken cared of. Jing will also be visiting Davao for appointments so if you want him to cut your hair personally, call the Hair Philosophie Salon to set the appointment at 296-4465, 0917 329 1981, or 0998 859 3688.
