Camarines Norte is not only a surfing spot, it also provides a food adventure for those who want to try authentic Bicolano cuisine during one’s trip. Trying out something new is always exciting, which is why, as Chef Jose Sarasola puts it, it’s important to be open to try new dishes to increase one’s appreciation for diverse experiences.

Whether one is sharing a plate of spicy Bicol Express or surfing the waves of Bagasbas Beach, adventure seekers can document everything with the help of Xiaomi 12’s ProFocus technology. This offers subject learning and tracking algorithms that anticipate movement with Motion Tracking Focus, Motion Capture, and Eye Tracking Focus features. The results are clear and seamless shots every time. And with the Xiaomi 12’s fast-charging 4500mAh battery with 50W wireless turbo charging, they’ll have enough juice to last a whole day of activities.

Epic Camiguin

Known as the “Island Born of Fire,” Camiguin island has a remarkable shape due to unexpected volcanic eruptions. Apart from its scenic beaches, travelers can also hike up the island’s highest peak, Mount Mambajao (1,713 above sea level) for a unique experience.

Hiking requires getting up at the crack of dawn. This is the ideal time to experiment with the Xiaomi 12’s Ultra-Night Video and Multi-Scene Night Views to capture subjects in low light. Portrait Night Mode and other night mode capabilities on wide angle and ultra-wide angle cameras automatically brighten up videos and photos to make them more vivid.

Click and snap! This is why the Samsung Galaxy S22 Series is the perfect runway partner

Tweet

Fashion plays an important role for Gen Z and millennials. Clothing allows them to express themselves and make their mark without even having to speak. For proof, simply tap the hashtag #fitcheck on social media and see countless content creators breaking the rules of fashion and setting trends.

Social media has become the playground for fashionistas and smartphones have become a status symbol and accessory, like luxury watches and designer handbags. Among those smartphones is the Samsung Galaxy S22 Series, now a coveted “it phone” for discerning individuals because of its epic innovations in its segment.

Samsung advanced content creation with Nightography, which captures more light, motion, and detail at low-light settings. The Galaxy S22 Ultra is the first smartphone in the S Series to carry a built-in S Pen. Its all-day battery is designed to keep creators connected so they can shoot content, stay in touch with their followers, and stay ahead of trends.

It’s not just its innovations that have made the Galaxy S22 Series the gold standard for smartphones. Samsung also elevated its design colors to turn it into the perfect runway partner. They come in a variety of hues that suit every kind of personality.

The Galaxy S22, S22+, and S22 Ultra come in Phantom Black, a premium and elegant color designed for the urban sophisticate. It evokes power and timelessness. This variant is perfect for black-tie events, where guests are required to come in a tuxedo or a lavish gown. Pair this with a statement-making accessory such as a luxury watch or a sculptural bag.

All three smartphones also come in Phantom White. This color conjures images of Japanese or Scandinavian minimalism. Like Phantom Black, this color is also elegant, yet more open and inviting. Phantom White goes well with neutral outfits in brown, beige, and dark shades of green, yellow, and blue.

Green is another color available for all variants of the Galaxy S22 Series. In color psychology, green represents freshness and nature. This color is vibrant, fun, and refreshing. The green Galaxy S22 Series suits daring fashionistas who enjoy playing with prints and colors. Pair this color with confidence.

The Galaxy S22 Ultra comes in an exclusive Burgundy variant. This deep and rich red channels grace and power, a reflection of Samsung’s premium image for the Ultra variant. If Phantom Black is for sophisticates who want quiet luxury, Burgundy is for those who want to flaunt their style.

Lastly, the Galaxy S22 and S22+ come in the Pink Gold option. This fun and flirty color is for fashionistas who love expressing themselves. It’s brimming with personality. This goes well with visually-striking ensembles such as floral prints or flashy colors.
