  • Millennials pursue nighttime passions, hobbies thanks to smartphones

    Millennials pursue nighttime passions, hobbies thanks to smartphones

    For most people, 2020 will undoubtedly be an unforgettable year, not only because of the life-changing impact the COVID-19 pandemic has caused, but also how it has brought out the best in everyone, including millennials.

    More than three months into their quarantined lives amid the new normal, millennials have discovered the perks of working from home—minus time-consuming and tiresome commute routines, they now have plenty of time and energy, especially at night, to pursue their hobbies and passions. Here are some examples:

    Active living

    With gyms and sports centers temporarily closed, millennials are still able to sweat it out at home, thanks to online workout programs. Yoga, boxing, and high-intensity interval training are some activities they indulge in after work. And with workout apps available in the vivo app store, millennials need not worry about doing routine exercises or plateauing anymore.

    Making bread

    While some people are making some “bread” out of sidelines and online freelance work, young professionals have also been making bread, literally. Ube pandesal with cheese, artisan bread, and sourdough, are just some of many creations home-bakers have been making the past few months, attributed to videos and recipes available online.

    Jamming and crafting

    With their powerful processors and huge memory, smartphones like the vivo V19 Neo which has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 AIE Octa-core processor and 8GB RAM, have become digital recording studios and art canvasses which young artists use to create content—even remotely collaborating with other artists—and promote their work online.

    Gaming

    Gone are the days when one had to buy consoles just to play the latest games with friends. Today, smartphones’ gaming features, such as the vivo V19 Neo’s Ultra-game mode and Multi-Turbo Acceleration Technology, enable lag-free gameplay and gaming optimization, allowing millennials to fully immerse in virtual worlds and be hooked to online games.

    Capturing twilight

    With plenty of subjects to shoot at home and a magnificent and ever-changing background in the night sky, millennials have discovered endless possibilities to look for art in the dark—especially with devices that can capture clear and stunning images despite low-light. Such is the vivo V19 Neo, whose super night mode and super night selfie algorithms harness a 32MP front camera and rear AI quad cameras, to reduce noise and enhance clarity in the dark.

    Take back and ignite your night

    These are just among many passions that millennials have explored in the first half of the year. Have you explored your night-time passions already? Take back and ignite your night with the all-new vivo V19 Neo, now available at vivo’s flagship stores in Shopee and Lazada for just P17,999.

  • Five Types of Dads We Love to Spend Time with at Home Now

    Five Types of Dads We Love to Spend Time with at Home Now

    Dads may differ in personalities. There are those who are strict, lenient, and there are those who are very quirky and playful. But there’s one common characteristic that we love about them: they will always have a funny “dad joke” or two on-hand whenever we need them.

    Before being quarantined at home, dads were busybodies, waking up at five in the morning and going to work for their daily grind. However, the situation in the past few months has required them to stay at home, finding ways to adjust to their new normal, thus exposing and unveiling his all-so-unique charms and quirks for the cringe-worthy enjoyment of the whole family. With Father’s Day around the corner, here’s a tribute to the types of dads everyone has encountered during quarantine:

    The BTS (Behind-the-Scene) Dad

    He’s the kind of person who loves to work behind the scenes – lenient enough to let the kids discover new things on their own and amply quiet when the wife takes the centerstage for the talk (LOL!). Now that he’s working remotely at home, he’d spend most of his days in his “hidden-from-the-kids” station, answering emails on his laptop, attending online meetings, and even spending sleepless nights catching up with tasks. He does it all to provide for the family during these trying times. And while he is certainly working behind the scenes at home, he knows when to take his breaks and spend time with his family – whether it’s sharing meals on the table, helping the kids with their home studies, or enjoying a relaxing afternoon with his wife.

    The Mom’s Right-Hand Man

    Dads love food and there are those who are a natural pro at cooking and know their way around the kitchen. But there are also dads who have spent quarantine trying to level up their cooking skills and watching cooking videos online. He is the type who brings his phone to the kitchen, with the latest cooking video playing as he cooks and follows the recipe. Often, the mom and the kids have to stay by his side and make sure he does not make a mess in the kitchen.

    The Home Masterchef

    Dads love food and there are those who are a natural pro at cooking and know their way around the kitchen. But there are also dads who have spent quarantine trying to level up their cooking skills and watching cooking videos online. He is the type who brings his phone to the kitchen, with the latest cooking video playing as he cooks and follows the recipe. Often, the mom and the kids have to stay by his side and make sure he does not make a mess in the kitchen.

    The “Peer-ent”: Ever reliable peer everyone runs to

    These days, dads have adopted a new and modern parenting style known as ‘peer-renting’. This allows them to become their kids’ trusted friend, being the one they run to for helpful advice, for when they are heartbroken, or for when they feel down. He is the best at communicating, has a unique humor, and knows the right words to lighten the mood. During quarantine, he has been listening to his kids’ stories, relearning their interests and joining in their favorite activities – whether it is bingeing a TV series or playing a video game.

    The Hypebeast Dad

    He is the type of dad who is always excited to share the hype at home. He has probably bought the newest video games and gadgets, and stayed up all night playing with his kids. He also loves being updated with the latest online trends so that he will never miss out on a fun discussion at home. As embarrassing as it can be, he even knows TikTok challenges and is always game to record if he gets the chance. Truly, it is the dads who have made life in quarantine easier and better for the family with their corny jokes and dance moves to show. And with strong connection powered by PLDT Home, you can celebrate with them on his special day and make more fun moments by watching the most viral pranks and enjoying online trends he’d surely want to add to his long list of funny stunts.
