Singer-songwriter and actress Julie Anne San Jose has come a long way with her talents. With a career that has spanned more than a decade, Julie Anne has worn many hats: from acting in soaps to producing albums to singing and writing her own songs. Young, beautiful, and full of ambitions, Julie Anne makes the perfect Vivo endorser as she embodies what the brand is: Youthful, beautiful, edgy, and a relentless innovator.

Julie Anne started out very young; no wonder at the age of 24, she already has a multitude of accomplishments under her belt.

“I started singing at two and a half years old. It was my grandparents’ idea to pursue my singing, to pursue being an artist. Then, they encouraged me to join various pageants like Little Miss Philippines. But I stopped for a while because I need to continue my schooling,” she said as she reminisced her ups and downs in the industry.

“I’m just very glad and super-blessed that I have the chance now to pursue my grandparents’ dream and my dream as well. Ever since I was a kid, I’m really passionate about music,” Julie Anne added.

Julie Anne says it’s important to keep innovating herself to offer fresh takes on her craft.

With a relatively long career in entertainment, Julie Anne never fails to put herself on the spotlight despite the many new artists that come along. In her performances and TV appearances, Julie Anne consistently exudes beauty and confidence as she reinvents her appearance and continuously hone her talents.

Vivo is very much the same. The brand relentlessly aims to produce phones with designs that are aesthetically pleasing and highly functional. Sleek and chic, Vivo smartphones are a powerhouse both in specs and design.

“Vivo is a super nice brand. I’m really into selfies. I’m just really glad that Vivo got me as one of its endorsers. I’m just happy to be part of the family… I love Vivo’s features like the In-Display Fingerprint scanner and the camera and the Face ID access,” Julie Anne said.
Julie Anne exhibits radiance and charm with the V11

This is why Vivo and Julie Anne are made for each other. Just like the young songstress, Vivo always reinvents itself with new technology that gives the brand a competitive edge amongst all its other contemporaries. A prolific innovator, Vivo is always ahead of its competitors in terms of cutting-edge technology.

“I’m really looking forward to more of Vivo’s new smartphones and technology in the future and share them to the youth,” Julie Anne said.

It is exciting to see a bright, young celebrity and a respected global brand collaborate. There is so much in store and to look forward to with Julie Anne and her campaigns for Vivo.

Pink is womanly and charming, warm and intimate. Pink tempers the fire of red with a mellow loving spirit. Pink calms and heartens our sensibilities, calming negative feelings of aggression, animosity, and cynicism. Pink composes the nerves which brings an overall feeling of love and tenderness.

But pink does not always represent femininity or superficiality. Pink, on the other hand, has become a symbol of feminine power with the color associated with female-centered advocacies such as championing breast cancer survivors and warriors against gender-biases.

Pink is both a symbol of femininity and power. Here are the five reasons there is power in pink:

1. Pink is a color of Support, Unity, and Survival – Pink Ribbon

Image source: Susan G. Komen®

A pink ribbon symbolizes breast cancer awareness. The breast cancer awareness pink ribbon emerged in 1982 under the initiative of Susan G. Komen of the Cure®, the largest, best-funded breast cancer organization in the United States. The first breast cancer survivor program was launched during the Komen National Race for the Cure® where survivors initially wore black and white. Late that year, pink was used as the official Komen color. In 1991, pink ribbons were distributed to all breast cancer survivors of the Komen New York City Race for the Cure®.

The pink ribbon signifies the promise Komen founder Nancy G. Brinker made to her sister Susan G. Komen on what she could do to fight breast cancer. Today, the pink ribbon stands not only as a symbol of female strength and spirit against the disease but also as a testimonial that pink is powerful.

2. Pink is a color of Friendship

Image source: Zohra Orchestra

Bring together friendship and unity and they can move mountains. The power of female partnerships has shaped societies and changed the world and history for generations on end. One important example of this strong female friendship is the Zohra Orchestra, an amazing group of female friends from Afghanistan who became the nation’s first all-female musical group. Under the strict Taliban rule in the 1990s, music was thought of immoral and, as such, were banned especially for women. But the Zohra Orchestra ignored perils to their life and constant threats and dangers to embrace their rights as women and their love for music.

The Haenyeo are also an example of how a team of women could bring progress not only within their household but in the community as well. The Haenyeo are a group of Korean women divers, all aged over 50, who live the island of Jeju in South Korea. Diving is seen as a woman's profession on the island that so many Korean households in Jeju have seen a complete role reversal of the genders, where men stay home to look after the children while women work for the family. These women have ran the economy of Jeju and have since built a tight-knit community.

Here, women have challenged gender roles and have done so together as a strong band of game-changers, very much like how pink is seen as solely feminine but also serves to symbolize strength in women in so many ways.

3. Pink is a color of Self-Love

Pink also represents beauty and self-love. The beauty of a woman has, time and gain, proved powerful when it comes to changing the course of life and history. Cleopatra, the queen of Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, was famous not only as an acme of intelligence but mostly because of her surpassing beauty. Helen of Troy, with a superior beauty that popularly “launched a thousand ships”, ran away with the Prince of Troy which erupted a 10-year war between the Greeks and the Trojans in the latter’s desperate battle to win her back.

Beauty in women has been a subject of admiration for poets, artists, and even powerful men in politics. Their skin of blushed pink is an indication of health and charm and the roses and corals in their clothes and bosom exudes femininity.

The power of make-up has also, time and again, proved to be an effective agent when it comes to female world domination. The make-up revolution has placed women in the pedestal, not just for their beauty but also for their power to stir the world and its modern view on the modern women.

4. Pink is a color of Feminine Pride

Pink is the new black in fashion. Women in the workforce has worn their colors loud and proud—feminine as they may be—but minus falling into the cookie cutter image of being the inferior gender in the rat race of the work world. Wearing pink and other colors of femininity in the office allow women to show that they are unapologetically embracing feminine strengths while conquering the world. In the world of grays and browns, pink is a bold statement to make that women who wear them are out to get their goals and missions and get things done.

5. Pink is a color of Powerful and Smooth Performance

Choreographer George Balachine once said that “ballet is woman”. Ballet shows the sublimity of the female form and the grandeur of ballet is something that women ballerinas have impressed upon in the world of arts. In the stage of ballet, the woman rules. Elegant, graceful yet strong, ballerinas in their pink tutus epitomize femininity with a purpose.

Much like the femininity of pink and all things women, Vivo’s limited edition V11i in Fairy Pink is delicate and chic but boasts of powerful features underneath its hood. Its smooth performance complements its beauty.

Delicate-looking? Yes. Powerful? Of course! The Vivo V11i in Fairy Pink got a strong core.

The Vivo V11i has AI dual rear cameras which offers an augmented perspective with the second lens allowing for improvement of sharpness. The ever popular Bokeh effect enhances photograph focus with a blurry effect thrown in for added drama. Its 12MP (24 million photosensitive units) and a 5MP dual rear camera fusion increases the amount of perspective, giving a near 3D image effect on photos. The superior photo quality is supported by Dual Pixel Sensors which boosts light sensitivity and focusing speeds.

It also has a 25MP front camera that renders high quality selfies. It is also equipped with the AI Face Beauty, the AI Selfie Lighting specs, and the newly-updated AI Face Shaping technology that adds oomph to every shot.

The smartphone is also popular for its gaming specs. The Vivo V11i has an Artificial Intelligence (AI) assistant packed in which aids in its superior gaming performance. With the Game Mode on, the CPU and RAM are automatically optimized, allowing for an uninterrupted gaming experience. A button for auto-rejecting calls and temporarily blocking of background calls are the features under Game Mode, with added dynamic specs such as the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 octa-core chipset, an Adreno 512 GPU, and spacious 6GB RAM which allows for smoother gaming action.


Do not be fooled by the Vivo V11i’s outer beauty because it is an overall powerful phone in one splendid compact.

The habit of taking photos of food before eating has been fully adapted over the years due to smartphone photography. In this digital age where one can easily upload and share their photos on social media platforms such as Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook with just one click, you can establish a captivating and engaging online presence. As the famous saying goes, “If you didn’t Instagram it, did it even happen?”

We all have our own reasons as to why we take photos of our food before consuming it: it can be to record moments of pleasure, where you can appreciate the hard work and labor of love of the cook, or to simply immerse oneself in local culture. As summed up by the celebrated chef and writer Anthony Bourdain, “Food is everything we are. It's an extension of nationalist feeling, ethnic feeling, your personal history, your province, your region, your tribe, your grandma. It's inseparable from those from the get-go.”

To stand out from a sea of food photos on social media, your shots must be exceptional. The futuristic Vivo V11 shows you how it is done with these essential food photography tips:

Tip #1 Use Camera’s Grid Setting

For the right composition of photos, the rule of thirds or the guideline in producing images to craft well-balanced and sharp shots, is important. Positioning a subject with these lines formulates more dynamism and interest in the composition, rather than merely placing the subject in the center of the shot. The primary objective is that an off-center composition is more appealing to the eye and seems more natural than one where the subject is placed right in the center of the frame. It also inspires you to maximize negative space.
The Vivo V11 features a grid setting with the Rule of Thirds guideline for well-balanced food shots.

Tip #2 Right Angles

A camera angle is one of the fastest techniques to rivet the viewers and to increase variety to your photos. There are several camera angles that one may experiment with to boost your artistry such as the eye-level, worm’s-eye view, and the bird’s eye view. The Eye-Level Angle is the most standard way to take a photo, as it is the way we view most subjects every day. This perspective enables the viewers to feel closer; it invokes a sense of intimacy and compassion. While the Worm’s-Eye View is the angle wherein the photographer takes a photo from below. It makes the subject look big, even if they are not. Shots like these make it appear as if the subject has the authority over the viewer and make them feel powerless. The Bird’s-Eye View, on the other hand, is taking a photo of a subject from above. This angle makes the viewers feel that they are superior to the subject.

The V11’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) camera features allow the user to do a Bird’s-Eye View photography angle where one takes a photo of a subject from above.

Tip #3 Natural Lighting

Being highly aware of light is probably the most fundamental way to enhance your photography skills. Access to exceptional lighting may even be more significant than the subject of the photo, as various forms of natural light can create a big change to the subject’s overall look. Outdoor shoots, preferably near a window is the perfect place to shoot photos in natural lighting.

If in a low-lit restaurant, V11’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) feature can adjust to capture detail and perfect exposure. Its AI Low Light Mode enhances brightness in low light conditions, while retaining rich details. It captures up to 6 images and combines them into one to make your photo more vivid.
The Vivo V11’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) Low Light Mode enhances brightness in low light conditions, while retaining rich details.

Tip #4 Add Props

An easy yet practical way to add life and atmosphere to the photo is to add vibrant props to your scene. Dull photos need a point of interest. You can have the freedom as to how to present your photo. It can make or break your picture, it can intensify character to a photo, and it can strengthen context to the scene. It can be used to convey the message into an image. Utilizing props may also inspire you while diversifying your creative skills.

The V11 AI Dual Camera specs feature a 12MP + 5MP dual rear camera combination. It allows the user to add vibrant props to your frame as an easy yet practical way to add life and atmosphere to the photo.

Tip #5 Don’t Use Flash and Don’t Zoom Manually

Using the flash will make the photos washed-out or too pale. Colorful and lively photos won’t fall apart and can relay a more maximum effect to attract you sentimentally. When you zoom manually, it’ll pixilate and the photo will be noisy with small dots all over the image. Good thing the V11 has dual camera that features a large aperture of f 1/8 plus.

Gone are the days of bulky and monochromatic mobile phones. Compact and sleek phones are now considered the norm, thanks to smartphone brands that design products with the consumers’ need in mind. Aside from a smartphone’s key functions, its appearance attracts customers since they are more mindful of trends and it’s also an avenue to fully express their artistic preferences. Thus, Vivo fused art and technology together in their latest flagship phone through their two trendsetting fusion color selections.

Starry Night

Deep in the night, billions of stars cast luminous, mystifying lights across the sky. This is where V11 drew the inspiration for their new trend-setting fusion color – Starry Night. The mysterious black and striking blue blend together perfectly, invoking the far-flung corners of the universe and exuding premium quality and style. The color selection represents one’s hopes and dreams, an affirmation that anything is within reach. This design is reminiscent of Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh’s painting: the “Starry Night Over the Rhone”, as it integrates the night sky, the stars, and the glistening blue water. It conveys that the stars will always guide you home.

Nebula

The luminescence of glistening stars in distant galaxies make up nebula’s elegant blue and purple hues. V11 has recreated the ethereal beauty on Nebula, putting the wonders of the universe in the palm of your hand. It signifies the sense of adventure and discovery, a yearning for something magical and more. It embodies the celestial tone of the award-winning science fiction film, “Gravity” by Mexican filmmaker Alfonso Cuaron. Its riveting galactic appeal pulls you to the infinite abyss of everlasting possibilities.
