A SINGLE’S SURVIVAL GUIDE TO MAXING OUT VALENTINE’S DAY


Don’t want to put a ring on it? Well, ASUS Philippines gives you more than enough reasons to maximize your ‘me time’ this love month

METRO MANILA, PHILIPPINES (February 14, 2018) – Valentine’s is right here and right now, and that tired shade of red and pink décor are in every street and establishment possible. Moreover, it’s that time of year when the candy and floral industry are being overly aggressive by doing everything possible to get lovers to purchase their products. What’s worse is this entire thing lasts an entire month, and you, being one without a significant other, have to walk through this predicament whether you like it or not. And then all of these have to inevitably come together to amplify the sweetness of couples all over, which includes your couple-friends – and you have to bear witness to everything. Oh, the pain.

Without a doubt, with all of these things happening, being a strong and independent person will surely be a tinge more difficult; especially when all efforts of every establishment in existence are directed towards lovebirds. What is a solo flyer like you going to do, right? Well, lucky for you, we prepared a short guide to escaping this love month with no damages. Of course, the success rate of these life hacks will be even higher with the help of your most trusted device – the ZenFone Max Plus!


#1: BINGE-WATCH AND CHILL
The first step will probably be the best step to do on this very day: cuddle with your go-to pillow, grab that ever-reliable 18:9 Full View Full High Definition+ smartphone of yours, and stream your shows in the comfort of your room! Enjoy your favorites in the clearest view possible and in comfortable silence of your personal space without being bothered by couples being all googly-eyed-lovey-dovey around you.


#2: GAMING ALL NIGHT-LONG
Trust us on this: you have other friends aside from your couple-friends. Call them up, create a world of your own – one louder than the little bubble-of-a-world couples usually have, and play the heck out of those awesome mobile games! And to ensure victory over the noobs, make sure your friends never run out of battery. Lucky for you, your phone is capable of sharing its juice with a specialty that’s sure win you any game: reverse-charging! Just plug another phone into your phone with the help of an On-the-Go (OTG) cable, and voila! You’re charging up your friends’ phones!


#3: HOME SWEET HOME
PSA: Valentine’s season isn’t just for couples. It’s a celebration of love in all forms. You should be free to spend the day with love ones of any kind. So punch romance in its face and go out with friends and family. Don’t forget to enjoy and to take Insta-worthy wefies with them using your awesome 8MP selfie camera!


#4: TAKE YOURSELF OUT ON A FANCY DATE
Self-love is also love (duh). Treat yourself – get yourself some fancy food or get some fancy gift, and don’t be too stingy about it. Besides, you deserve a prize for being your strong and independent self, amidst all of the craziness that Valentine’s month brings. Don’t be scared to whip out your 16MP+8MP dual rear camera and document this moment too! It’s payday week as well, so there’s really nothing for you to worry about.

With these hacks, you can come out of Valentine’s season unscathed! And even more so triumphant as long as you have the right kind of smartphone in your hand. So, just for the strong and independent you, ZenFone Max Plus was born.
