Realme C2 Review And Where To Buy Realme C2

Why do you own a smart phone? That’s one question that is too obvious to answer di ba? BAKIT HINDI? WHY NOT? Pero seriously, when I list down the reasons why I want a smart phone it all boils down to me being a mom. I want photos, videos, memories to capture. Kaya nga ako may vlog na because I know someday I would forget all of this and I don’t want that to happen. Salamat na lang taking photos and videos are easier now, more convenient and cheaper too!

Which brings me to share with you a topic that most of my friends and followers asks, PAANO BA MAGING VLOGGER? Quick clarification, BLOGGER and VLOGGER is different ha. Blogger is this, having your own website and you write.. so it’s like having your diary pero online. VLOGGER naman is also like having a diary but instead of writing it, you take videos. Kaya nga VLOGGER, video logger. Blogger naman on the hand is WEBSITE or WEB  logger. Getsung na?


As I have mentioned in that video, pwede ka maging vlogger using a smart phone na mura like realme C2. Watch muna tayo ng unboxing video ko ng realme C2:

The realme C2 I used sa unboxing video ko is the 3GB+32GB version which is P6,490.

First impression when I opened the box: ANG SOSYAL NG ITSURA! I was actually expecting a really cheap looking phone considering the price of the realme C2. Ang ganda ng design for me, stylish at talagang hindi mukha entry level price.

As for the camera, it really delivers, my only problem is I can’t the front camera that much if I am to review products, baligtad ang basa ng mga name eh hahaha.. that’s the only challenge I faced so far.

For the battery, tried using it for a day for vlogging and picture takin, hindi pa din na low bat. My son tried playing it sa Mobile Legends, approve daw.

The Phantom Of The Opera Manila 2019 Review

10 Things You Need To Know Before Watching The Phantom Of The Opera Manila

#1 The Phantom Of The Opera Manila is BREATHTAKING! It’s more than just a musical show. Yes, your ears will explode from all the music that you will hear but prepare your eyes as well! The visual effects is spectacular. There are so many scenes that you will forgot you are watching a theater show. The scenes are very believable that your mind will trick you into thinking you are actually watching a movie. You know there’s a big production challenges between the two.. so hands off to the production team of The Phantom Of The Opera. YOU GUYS ARE REALLY THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA!

*it’s ok to sneeze pero if you have cough, jusko wag ka manood please.

*even if you have no idea what Phantom of the Opera is or you haven’t watched since 1998, IT’S OK! Buy a ticket and watch it. You will enjoy more if you have zero expectations. TRUST ME!

#2 Arrive EARLY and leave late. The lines to two of the most iconic wall displays for The Phantom Of The Opera Manila for photo opps is LOOOONG! If you want a photo opportunities for these walls, you need to arrive really early (theatre Foyers open 2 hours before every performance) or leave late. The staff inside the theater are not allowed to take photos but there’s a designated staff from each displays outside that takes photo. Puro selfie lang magagawa mo sa loob ng theater.

#3 Speaking of photos, CAMERA IS ALLOWED and taking photos as well. It is allowed BEFORE the show, during the interval and AFTER the show. Cameras and mobile cameras are not allowed during the show, even during curtain call. How can you even think of taking photos/ video during curtain call when your hands are busy CLAPPING!

#4 CLAPPING IS A MUST. Where on EARTH did you came from if you won’t even clap? Each performance is clap worthy, I promise you. And during curtain call, when you feel like clapping is not enough and there’s the urge to stand up. STAND UP! even though the people around you are not standing up.. if you feel like their performance is worth standing up, STAND UP. Shout/scream if you must, it worth all your tonsils.

#5  Food is not allowed inside the theater but there’s a place where you can buy around the area. There’s a food court in Solaire so you can grab dinner before watching the show. Please do east so you will have the energy to clap and shout.

#6 And though clapping is a must. SINGING ALONG IS A MUST NOT. Don’t you dare! Baka mag trending kayo. The theater is not a KARAOKE BAR. The people paid 7000 Pesos not to hear your voice. Singing along is a mortal sin. Mapupunta kayo sa impyerno pag nag sing along kayo. DON’T YOU DARE!

#7 Dress code: What to wear when watching The Phantom of the Opera Manila? SMART CASUAL. No jeans please. No pambahay clothes and wear heels please. No bayong bags. Solaire theater is small, don’t piss off other patrons with your bayong bags! Bring small bags please.

MALAMIG BA SA SOLAIRE? Inside the theater, it’s not but sa Solaire mismo, yes malamig sya.

#8 Best Seat to buy? And how much is the ticket to watch The Phantom of the Opera Manila?

I watched from Premium Balcony, 3rd row, center area. That’s a gold ticket worth PHP7,250.00. If your budget is for Price Zone A (PHP5,850.00), get a seat at the center area. I tell you, being in the center gives you the perfect view of the stage. That’s the best place where you can really appreciate the props and the visual effects (which I believe is 50% of what the show is all about). You can check the seat view from Ticketworld website. The best seat for me is premium, first row. 

But I am planning to watch again from orchestra and see the difference. Update ko kayo!

#9 Prices of memorabilia. How much are The Phantom of the Opera Manila memorabilia? The Phantom of the Opera Manila shirts are prices at 1500 Pesos. Jacket for 2500, keychains for 600 Pesos, and ball-pen for 1500 Pesos. A must buy is the shirt and the rose (600 Pesos) as well as the tote bag. 

#10 The Phantom of the Opera Manila Age Restriction. Performances are recommended for children 5 Years old and above. The show is 2 hours and 30 minutes. The show started exactly at 8 PM, 20 minutes intermission around 9:20. The show resumed at 9:40 and ends 10:30. If your kid can’t sit that long, please don’t bring them as leaving during the show, though allowed, is not acceptable.

Check in nyo na lang kids nyo sa Solaire. What’s the best tower to book in Solaire if you are going to watch The Phantom of the Opera Manila. 

Solaire Sky Tower is your best bet. Minimal exposure to casino from entrance. No exposure to casino during check in. No exposure to casino when going inside Fresh (where buffet breakfast is served). No exposure to casino when going to the The Theater. Best part about Sky Tower is nearest access to pool. If you have kids, check the Sky Tower Studio. Ang laki ng room!

The Phantom of the Opera Manila is open until March 31, 2019 at the Theater At Solaire.

How Technology Can Help You to Save Money

Using technology to save money is actually more about you using your tech-smarts alongside the actual, you know, tech! There’s no point downloading this, that and the other app if you never actually use them. You don’t have to buy all the latest gadgets, either – all you really need is a laptop or PC and a smartphone.

About those apps…
To save money with apps, you need to make sure you’re downloading the right ones and that you’re using them as often as possible. Cashback apps like Quidco, a couple of comparison apps, an app to monitor your spending and a voucher finder are pretty much essential, If you’re a frequent traveller, then something like Skyscanner is vital as well. Find out more about money-saving apps here.

Do as much as you can online
Ordering groceries, shoes, flowers, furniture; booking flights, asking for advice, banking… You name it, it’s almost always quicker and cheaper to do it online.
Online banking in particular is great because you can check your balances in seconds, which makes late payments and failed direct debits far less likely. Many utility providers will also offer incentives – albeit small – for you to go paperless, so why not?

Ditch your landline
It may be time for you to ask your internet provider how they can make your bills cheaper and if you do still have an old-fashioned landline, then you need to – ahem – ring the changes (sorry, not sorry). Some providers offer the option of broadband without a landline, or you may be able to keep your old fixed phone but for a nominal fee.

Make your thermostat smarter
This actually involves spending money to start with, but it’s guaranteed to pay off in the end. Smart thermostats are at the vanguard of domestic eco-technology as they constantly monitor the temperature of your house and fine-tune the temperature so your heating system uses as little fuel as possible. Some of the more premium models even know whether your home is occupied so they can turn the heating down or off. On average, smart thermostats save householders 10% a year on heating bills.

Change your mobile network
You may have been with your usual mobile network provider for a couple of decades by now, but the chances are that you’re paying too much each month. It’s true that you get a new phone every 18 months or two years, but if you’re trying to save some money, do you really need that upgrade as frequently as that? Part of your monthly bill is the cost of the phone itself, so by jettisoning your network, you could reduce your mobile bill by half or even three quarters.

In some ways, you’re not actually dumping your faithful old provider because the so-called virtual networks like GiffGaff lease their services from the bigger providers. Once your current contract ends, you can go SIM-only and save loads. Of course, you need to save a little bit up for a new handset, but you really don’t need to buy the latest iPhone every two years – you’ve been brainwashed into this mindset! Technology should be your friend, not a financial drain!
