Dating Terms Learned on Puregold Channel's "Ang Lalaki sa Likod ng Profile"

Have you tried online dating? How did it go? Well for some people, it's a hit and miss. What was your objective when you started? Were you able to get relationships out of it? There's a ton of questions need to be asked and answered right?

If you watched the recent episodes of Puregold Channel's "Ang Lalaki sa Likod ng Profile", you'll get a sense of what it would feel like in that situation. The hit series stars Yukii Takahashi and Wilbert Ross who plays the role of Angge and Bryce. Two hopeless romantics who resorted to look for love on social media, describing their ideal person not knowing they'd all hit the marks. Then after meeting each other in real life, it still feels quite awkward, so they end up thinking the other party would do ghosting (that sudden disappearance), catfishing (when one party pretends to be someone else!) and demand to do DTR (define the relationship) which you'll see being used quite liberally in the series. 

What do you think will happen to the two? Would there be a second date? Neflix and chill? Or perhaps have a round of rebounds with thirst traps on the app? There's a lot to learn about the language obviously and you can see more of it in the next episodes of "Ang Lalaki sa Likod ng Profile". So if you're interested about what would happen next, go watch the series on Puregold Channel's YouTube channel and see if it's worth the effort to do online dating at this day and age.

Leanne and Naara for "Daybreak Live!"

COVID-19 restrictions have halted a lot of businesses including the entertainment sector. Live events, are a no go which means music lovers, artists, are going to be heavily affected. Thank the ones above for putting smart people in technology, we have new ways to connect digitally and still see each other virtually.

Indie pop duo Leanne and Naara are artists from Warner Music Philippines. As Naara puts it "I miss hearing people sing to our songs and how we got interact with them, wish we could go back performing live gigs." While Leanne quips "The pandemic had us do virtual gigs which was quite difficult for us. We were in different places and resorted to doing sets of our own in a single event. We've been doing this over a year now and slightly getting the hang of it. We also have pre recorded ones, which we can do in a single day."

Leanne and Naara did a concert in an actual concert hall. It's called Daybreak Live (their debut album was entitled Daybreak). It's full of their latest hit singles, they also have new arrangements and arguably their great vocals that have been always adored by their followers. They're doing this as a way to bring their Daybreak album even closer to their audiences since they haven't formally had a launch for it. They also know people miss live music and this is certainly good to quench the thirst for it. This concert has been a lifelong dream for them.

About the songs, Music Director and Producer Brian Lotho made sure each single will be heard differently. You'll feel they've amped up favorites like "Too Soon!" and "Till the Morning Comes". Concert Director par excellance Paolo Valenciano also is also making sure everything runs smoothly as he's done the biggest ones in the country. This was recorded in Maybank Theater, with protocols followed each step of the way. Leanne says "We are so excited to bring our brand of music and electrifying performances onstage and our Daybreak Live concert brought a different side of us, and we hope we'd be allow to perform once again when restrictions relax in the country!"

Now it would be good to take your love for Leanne and Naara's music further, both the Daydream album and the live concert (as recorded) is available on Spotify.
