BSS are the New Faces for the OPPO Reno11 F 5G

BSS are the new faces for the OPPO Reno11 F 5G!!!


I'm so proud of our boys, and they look absolutely perfect in the posters:



OPPO has always been my smartphone of choice for my kid, Syrena, for a variety of reasons; and as a mini-Carat, it really isn't surprising that he now wants to get his hands on the OPPO Reno11 F 5G.

BSS members Seungkwan, DK, and Hoshi as the latest OPPO Reno Experts for OPPO’s APAC markets marks the beginning of a new era - and their exuberant energy truly matches the smartphone brand well.

Just check out the fun BSS OPPO commercial to see what I mean:


BSS’ embodiment of youthful energy and a genuine love or self-expression perfectly represent the key features of OPPO’s latest smartphone, reflecting the dynamic qualities that set the OPPO Reno11 F 5G apart in the market.

"The OPPO Reno series prides itself on being the portrait expert and we are thrilled to partner with BSS," shares Andy Shi, APAC President of OPPO. "It is not just about the innovation of the Reno series but more about providing a tool for genuine, joyous expression. We invite fans of OPPO and BSS alike to join us on this portrait photography journey to seize the opportunity and showcase their creativity."

No need to tell us twice - we're on it! ;)

OPPO’s latest addition to its Reno lineup, the OPPO Reno11 F 5G, is now available in the Philippines. With vibrant, eye-catching style, a 64MP Ultra-Clear Triple Camera, and a 120Hz AMOLED Borderless display, the OPPO Reno11F 5G is a winning combination of fresh looks and smart experiences.

Mean Girls Musical: What to Expect

I recently got Syrena to watch the original Mean Girls movie and my goodness. Can you believe it has already been 20 whole years since we were blessed with that amazing movie? Even though I am now "the cool mom" and no longer Regina George, it was still such a marvelous film to watch.

Ever since the remake was announced, however, I've been a bit on edge. I don't know how to feel about a Mean Girls movie for "this" generation (IYKYK). Will it even be funny? Will it still be relatable?


Knowing that Tina Fey will still be at the helm, I feel a bit more at ease. She also said that this musical film adaptation still captures the spirit of the original, but... I don't know.

Watch the trailer of the Mean Girls musical here:



Tina Fey promises, "We are still able to have new jokes and new moments that will surprise people who love the original and also delight a whole new audience."

Director Samantha Jayne also stresses on a significant point of Mean Girls: that women should support women instead of tearing each other down. "That message was great in 2004," she says, "and it will be great 100 years from now. If we have created a version that connects that message to today's audience and allows them to have fun, we're doing what we set out to do."


Will definitely need to be open-minded about this and watch it with Syrena to get his Gen Z perspective on it.

Are you excited for the Mean Girls musical?


Mark your calendars. The Mean Girls musical starts showing in Philippine cinemas on February 7, 2024.
