A lovely tablescape can set the mood for any event. Last week, Ms Stephanie Zubiri helped us perfect a tablescape design with beautiful decor using her silver wares, pressed flowery linens and dinner wares.

Brittany Corporation, the luxury residential arm of the country’s largest homebuilder Vista Land & Lifescapes, Inc., recently organized an exclusive tablescaping event for the homeowners of Portofino, Brittany's luxury residential development in Alabang. 

The special event entitled “Tablescaping with Stephanie Zubiri” was held at Tiger Leaf in Evia Lifestyle Center. It was hosted by the lifestyle influencer and Tatler Homes EIC herself, Ms. Stephanie Zubiri. 

 

In its literal form, the term tablescape means “an arrangement of tableware and other beautiful objects on a table.” 

The art of tablescaping, which involves creating a table layout that looks so picture-perfect, has become an art form for many people, with the places to eat becoming somewhere to express the things that people love. 

 

As seen on various social media feeds in recent years, the art of tablescaping has inspired many homeowners to make their home dining set-ups a bit more special. 

 

“During the pandemic, our Portofino home has become our restaurant. Tablescaping has become my moment of joy, a form of relaxation, and an outlet for creativity”, shares Myrna Constantino,  a Portofino homeowner who joined the tablescaping event. 

During the event, homeowners were given some tips and tricks on creating an effortlessly stylish tablescape. They were also challenged to bring different materials and textures together to create something unique for their Portofino home. 

 

A flagship of the Brittany portfolio, Portofino is a true example of Brittany’s craftsmanship at its finest: a stunning Italian-inspired community of Alabang’s most luxurious homes. 

 

With its classic architectural features and design, beautiful amenities, breathtaking views, and proximity to an emerging hub of lifestyle in Alabang, Portofino is Brittany’s signature luxury development in what is shaping up to be the new South of Manila.

 

In Brittany, expect nothing less than sophistication, quality, and elegance in the best lifestyle locations: Portofino in Alabang, La Posada in Sucat, Georgia Club, and Promenade in Sta. Rosa, Laguna and Crosswinds in Tagaytay.

Nokia C21 Review: The Good Old days of the removable battery

I had the Nokia C21 plugged in for a good 5 minutes when I decided to check the battery status and was shocked that it still hasn’t started charging. It was only then that I realized that its battery was still in the box.

 

Yes. The Nokia C21 has a removable battery.

 

And its actually one of the phones unique features that makes it different from the recent rainfall of budget smartphones that has flooded the market.

 

HMD Global, the new home of Nokia phones, has been releasing a good number of budget phones the focus on why you are getting a phone in the first place and that is for communicating via calls, texts or instant messages. The Nokia C21 is a 4G phone that that’s accessible to all and offers Improved experiences, security and imaging.

 

We’ve been using the phone for a good two weeks and here’s why we think you should consider getting one.

 

So what there to Love, Trust and Keep?

 

Nokia C21 specs:

Display: 6.52-inch HD+ IPS display | 1600 x 720 pixel resolution, 269ppi | 2D Toughened glass

Aspect ratio:20:9 Resolution:HD+ V-notch

Processor: 1.6GHz UNISOC octa-core processor

Memory / Storage: 2GB RAM 32GB internal storage, expandable via microSD up to 256GB

Rear camera: 8 MP Autofocus with LED Flash

Front camera: 5 MP Dimensions: Height:8.8 mm | Length:169.9 mm |Width:77.9 mm | Metal frame

Connectivity : HSPA+, 4G LTE | WiFi 802.11 b/g/n |Bluetooth 4.2

Other features:  FM radio

Battery: 3,000mAh removable battery, 5W microUSB

charging

Android 11 Go Edition

Dual SIM, Dual Standby

 

What’s in the box?

The Nokia C21 comes in the standard Nokia white box with a render of the phone in front. The phone shown is the Grey variant but our review unit came in Dark Blue so make sure you have the right color by checking the label at the bottom of the box. Also on the front of the box is a sticker which indicates the freebies you get out of the box. At the back of the box are the special features of the phone.

Slide it out to reveal the actual C21 unit wrapped in plastic. Underneath that compartment you’ll find a Safety Booklet and Quick Start Guide, a Jelly Case, Micro USB Charger, Micro USB Cable and a free headset! You can find the removable battery tucked beneath the cardboard that separates the phone from the other contents.

Exploring the phone you’ll find the 3.5mm headphone jack on top, the power and volume buttons on the right and the charging port and mic at the bottom. On the front is the selfie camera and earpiece and Nokia branding on the chin. 

Turning it on its back you’ll find the 8MP camera module, fingerprint scanner, Nokia branding and speaker at the bottom. To insert your sim you have to remove the back cover. Remove the cover by looking for the indentation on the bottom right (on the side of the power/volume buttons) slide a your fingernails around to lift the cover.

As Nokia’s tagline is Love it, Trust It and Keep It, we’ll do the review based on these criteria as well.

 

LOVE IT.

The thing I probably like most about this phone is the removable battery. For those who already owned phones way back before the “smartphone” era, all phones had removable batteries and we didn’t need powerbanks.

 

When you have a spare battery, you don’t need those big 6000mAh batteries and quick charging, because all you had to do was change batteries and you get instant 100% no need for waiting times (assuming you remembered to charge it the night before) Removable batteries also make the phone last longer as you all know that batteries are usually the first components you have to replace. This can make the Nokia C21 last years if used properly.

 

Nokia has been known for creating some of the most durable phones in history, and you can feel that the Nokia C21 phone is a well-built device. Despite its price it doesn’t look cheap and the Nokia C21 is something that still want to show off. The beautiful Finnish aesthetic is also functional – designed with micro texture on the back and curved sides to ensure a good grip in style.

 

It is made from sturdy polycarbonate with the body of Nokia C21 supported by a metal chassis on the inside and toughened cover glass on the outside. From force measurements to vigorous tumble, over 50 tests are carried out on every Nokia phone to ensure hardware durability, and Nokia C21 is no exception. The result is a smartphone which honours the long-lasting, Nordic excellence you’d expect from HMD Global, so users can hold on to their device for longer.Removing the back cover of the phone shows the neat layout of the device besides the battery compartment and the sim slots everything else is covered and protected.  

 

The Nokia has a big 6.52-inch HD+ IPS display with a 1600 x 720 pixel resolution, 269ppi and protected by 2D Toughened glass. For the price, its good enough for watching videos on your favorite social media channels, browsing the internet, emails and for composing and creating posts. You can watch YouTube videos up to 1080p. The brightness of the display makes it ideal to use indoors. Sound quality is also good but do note that the speaker is at the back of the phone and its easy to accidentally cover it with your fingers.

 

The Nokia C21 has very modest cameras, meaning it does the job of capturing photos but do not expect too much details. Make sure you shoot in a well-lit environment to get decent looking photos. Again you are not buying this phone for its cameras, but its a feature that will come handy in some situations.

TRUST IT:

For many, smartphones store one’s most private information and the Nokia C21’s AI-powered face unlock is now supported by fingerprint sensor for extra security and convenience to protect your phone from your prying “Marites” friends.

 

In terms of android updates Nokia also promises better privacy features and two years of regular security updates with quarterly security updates for two years from the global launch date of Nokia C21 to keep user memories safe.

 

The 1.6GHz UNISOC octa-core processor combined with 2GB RAM is just right for the usual daily tasks and you’ll have no problem when there’s only a few apps open. You can also play casual games on this phone but do remember the storage and RAM limitations. Slap in an extra memory card to store more files.

 

The Nokia C21 boasts a streamlined operating system[ Android 11TM (Go edition)] on a higher memory smartphone with a multi-core processor brings efficiencies without sacrificing the signature all-day battery life – download at speed and enjoy fast app opening times, for an even snappier experience.

 

KEEP IT:

The new Nokia C21 comprises even more value. Coming at Php 5,490, it brings upgraded photography, better privacy, and improved speed for an extra smooth experience.

 

But again for me the best reason to buy and keep this phone is its removable and all-day battery life. This phone makes a great choice for those who need a secondary phone mostly for communication purposes like calls and text. For those in the logistics business or profession, they need a phone that is less complicated yet more durable. Delivery people also need a smartphone they could use the entire day and when their battery runs out, those extra minutes of charging can be inconvenient--which makes the C21 a good choice.

Breeze offers you easy and powerful solutions to lighten your load

 

Being a mom is the most fulfilling, yet most difficult job in the world. There are some who make it look like a breeze, and others who show the actual journey and reality that this full-time job entails. On top of the daily to-do list of work tasks, taking care of the kids, and having time for yourself, are the household chores such as actual laundry, dishes, and cooking that take hours and a significant amount of effort and physical labor. 

 

As motherhood has endured the toughest struggle in the past two years, it’s not always as glamorous as social media makes it out to be. Recently, more and more moms have been revealing an unfiltered look into motherhood, as a way to help other moms find solutions to make life easier and better for them and their kids. 

 

For mom Apple, motherhood may not be as manageable in terms of following a certain schedule but amidst all the chores, she has found a solution to cross off one big item from her checklist: “Managing the household is tough! The chores are never ending. Looking after my son during and after school is also a challenge. And of course, doing the laundry with tough stains means extra work for me. Thanks to Breeze Power Machine, laundry time is much easier now.”

Mommy and Doctor Crystal Roxas shares that she has found the ultimate secret of power moms by making sure she’s there for her son every time even while working hard “To be able to provide for my little Nate, I have to work extra hard while making sure that I’m by his side when he needs me most. ❤️ I always want to give him the best.” she says.

Momshie Patricia Parian shares her secret to making laundry a breeze: “Bilang working mom, isa sa mga challenges ko ang paglalaba dahil kailangan dito ng matinding effort. Pero napadali na ito gamit ang #BreezePowerMachine. Tanggal agad ang dumi in one wash”

https://www.tiktok.com/@momshiesdiary/video/7102380379893419290

 

Mommy Tine understands the demands of being a mom and has found one big solution to cross off her list: “Managing the household is a juggling act. Kaya naman I need to find ways to balance everything… kids, meals, cleaning, lalo na sa laundry. So I can spend more time with the kids. Buti na lang I found #BreezePowerMachineliquid detergent! Now I can spend less time on chores and more time with my kids.”

Mom Charlene Tolentino shares her advice on how she is able to take time for herself: “As a millenial stay at home mom, always busy with the chores and taking care of my kids. I hardly find time to do other stuff. So, I'm always on the lookout for products to make my life easier. The #BreezePowerMachine Liquid Detergent lets me power through laundry and gives me more quality time with my children and time for myself.”

Although motherhood may not be a walk in the park, there are communities and brands like Breeze that can offer you easy and powerful solutions to lighten your load, make your tasks less of a chore and more of a superpower. 

 

Breeze Power Machine Liquid Detergent makes laundry so much easier as it penetrates fabrics and removes tough stains better than powder detergents. Thanks to its ultraclean concentrate and the Golden Trio of power washing - that is surfactants, dirt-lifters, and enzymes - you just need to dab-pour-wash and let your washing machine do the work.

Teleperformance is bringing the TP Cloud Campus Jeepney on a roadshow across Luzon

 

Teleperformance (TP) Philippines, the global leader in outsourced customer and citizen experience management and advanced related services, is bringing the TP Cloud Campus Jeepney on a roadshow across Luzon to promote work-at-home career opportunities through its Cloud Campus solution.

 

Cloud Campus Jeepney is Teleperformance’s innovative approach to job recruitment where TP brings work-at-home jobs to the provinces, tapping the Philippines’ vast countryside talent pool.

 

The Cloud Campus Jeepney has been touring key locations in Bulacan, Laguna, Cavite, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, and Pangasinan. The Jeepney will continue its roadshow in Urdaneta, Pangasinan from June 18 to 20. Its next stop is Tarlac from June 24 to 25 before heading to its last stop in the north in Pampanga from June 28 to 30. It will be making its last Luzon stop in Batangas from July 6 to 8.

 

Recently, the TP Cloud Campus Jeepney motorcade was also held around Laoag and San Nicolas, where TP launched their first Cloud Campus hub in Ilocos Norte. As the company’s 23^rd business site, TP Cloud Campus Ilocos Norte will open more jobs for residents of the Ilocos region that will allow them to “work wherever they live and live wherever they love”. This site also hopes to contribute to the capability building and economic growth of the province.

 

The Department of Labor and Employment Regional Office 1 (DOLE RO1) Regional Director Atty. Evelyn Ramos shared during the event, “What Teleperformance is doing here in the Philippines is valuable. We gladly welcome here in Ilocos region the launching of Teleperformance Cloud Campus site, which is expected to pave the way for the employment of thousands of Ilocanos. Further, we also laud the virtual workforce platform for enabling a work at home business.”

Launched in the Philippines in early 2021, the Cloud Campus solution is the revolutionary and innovative new global operating model of Teleperformance, specifically designed to enable a socially enriched work-at-home environment, allowing brands to easily expand their business and deliver superior customer experiences through Teleperformance’s unique, cloud-centric solution.  

 

Home-based interaction experts can work from anywhere and remain connected to their Teleperformance team through the Cloud Campus hubs, which come with innovative features to help employees stay engaged and connected, while maintaining operational efficiency. Currently, there are two main Teleperformance Cloud Campus hubs located at TP Fairview, Quezon City and at TP Aura, Taguig City and multiple smaller kiosks which serve as the operational command center of virtual teams. 

 

“During the pandemic, Teleperformance Philippines was one with the industry in shifting to work-at-home and we’ve seen how this arrangement has benefited some of our workforce. As Teleperformance continues to grow and invest in the Philippines, we want to be able to give more people the option to work from wherever they live. Geography and location will no longer be a barrier when it comes to job opportunities; with TP Cloud Campus, they can pursue their career in the IT-BPM industry from wherever they are,” shared Teleperformance Philippines Chief Operations Officer Joey Marquez. 

 

The new Teleperformance “Campus Culture” supports the employee’s physical and mental well-being, assisted by bespoke Technology, Analytics, and Process Excellence (T.A.P.^TM) solutions that harness human insights, fun, teamwork, friendly competition, and continuous learning. 

 

The Teleperformance Cloud Campus model also provides a comprehensive solution to companies looking at remote work as part of their growth plans in the new digital economy. It thoughtfully addresses the main concerns of companies for processes that are to be handled from a home environment, such as security, performance and control, and engagement of remote teams

 

“It’s a win-win solution as Teleperformance Cloud Campus allows companies to ensure the health and wellness of employees without compromising business continuity, which is a must in today’s digital economy,” Marquez noted.
