Marites Allen: Thrive in 2021 Year of the Metal OX

We just got off the online preview of Marites Allen's Feng Shui Webinar which is going to happen this December 19th 2020. This is going to all happen online and will start around 9AM London (5PM Philippine Time).

A couple of us actually asked her about what happened during the last few months because the pandemic was obviously not foreseen, but she immediately dispelled it by facts saying "We didn't see the pandemic coming, we are not fortune tellers, we are Feng Shui masters. It could have been prevented by man in the beginning (makes total sense!)."

She further shared what the Year of the Metal Ox meant for all of us this 2021 and said "There was really a lot of people who didn't do well during the pandemic. This year, metal elements, earth elements is good, the optimism is a little absent. There will be doubts, not much trust, so people should save up and spend on things that matter. Economic structure is shaky, third quarter will show a little improvement but next year is a year of vaccination. It will take a lot of time to process and do things, but with the Filipino attitude, we will always get along no matter how far this pandemic will take."

About detractors she said "Honestly, I am too busy to worry about people who doubt feng shui. I am quite connected with my clients, the expertise of Feng Shui matters only means that we're not fortune tellers. If they doubt, it doesn't really matter to me."

She further shared optimism by saying "It's gonna be a while before people would trust traveling, or get back to normal. In the course of history, we have had pandemics, people die and suffered, but a lot survived. Nothing is new, it is just how people live with it. We all were never prepared for this even billionaires didn't see a magnitude like this. The lock-down in London isn't that strict, it's how people use their time. There is still so much opportunity in 2021."

Lucky Sectors: East, North East Rabbit, Ox and Tiger, Horse is Victory.

Sheep, Monkey will face arguments. Robbery star is on Boar. 

She adds "2021 will bring a lot of misunderstanding for couples. You can get the 2021 planner and almanac to guide you this year. Before the year ends, the energy is shifting so much, when December 21 starts, I'd like you to make a gratitude list so you can achieve good health, make sure you get a fortune plant. We are going to be still busy for this year. The webinar is going to be virtual, we used to do it face to face. What is different is that there is going to be a lot of videos to explain things, we will have models showcasing our Frigga items. It will be a lot different."

For Earth Horses like me, she bids these good news and said "It is good news for 2021, you have the victory star.  You really have to change if you get in that condition. Those who are the year of the sheep are going to have to work double time this year."

To further understand more about these, make sure you get your tickets via Frigga.co.uk or 09209509390. She will be also with King of Talk Boy Abunda on this date so make sure you get your tickets secured before that date!

Youth Show KAIBIGAN: The Series to Air on GMA

The good looking guys and gals of KAIBIGAN the Series.

 

This December 5th, at 8:45am, a new youth series will premiere on GMA. It's called KAIBIGAN the Series, a show that talks about friendship, relationships, the effects of the pandemic. It's based on a movie with the same name and jumps off where that ended. The movie had a stellar cast including Stephen Baldwin, Tirso Cruz III, Jean Garcia, Lani Mercado, Boots Anson-Roa,Cesar Montano and other stars. This time however it'll revolve on the stories of characters portrayed by twins Jesse Perkins and Christian Perkins, GMA star Lianne Valentin and YouTuber Janina Vela.

 

They play the role of David Santos, Jake Anderson, Kylie Kino and Anna Torres. During the blog conference, they took time telling us more about their individual characters and their journey through life and the goodness of the human spirit. Kylie is more of the fun, perky, enthusiastic type while Anna is the more reserved, serious, bubbly at times, but still very country girl. David on the other hand is the God fearing, straight A student, who also had the time to be a jock, a star player in school and stays blessed all the time. Jake is the more free spirited one, always in the arts, but didn't do quite well in the last school he went to. These 4 will become friends, their lives intertwined, and suddenly needed each other when the COVID-19 health crisis happened.

It's actually nice that they deviced a way to actually make the story very current, discussing matters people their age would go through with things like anxiety, depression, personal and romantic relationships, family problems, honesty and their faith.

As Perkinspiredflix CEO Tarny Perkins puts it, he says "The derivative of this was 5 years of work with the Department of Education, it discusses how my sons were advocates of how to live without drinking, no drugs, no bullying, and felt there was a huge gap that needs to be filled in education in the country. This also teaches companiionship, love, all those things. It spurred the creation of the movie which came out last year and it showcased what families and kids were going through. It gave alternatives to worldly vices, and when we showed it on Good Friday on GMA, there was a huge call for a "good" kind of series. So we got together and saw the opportunity to do this. There was a need to reach out to the youth. That's when the series came about. We're so blessed that we're doing this conference. With my wife Thess, we began this as a family journey and we hope you see the real derivative, it's all about family and all about youth."

Daniel Dowell adds "We made this company to provide content but it had to be values oriented, has to be family friendly, it must be faith based and God glorifying. It was our vision, it answered the question "How can we change the values of this next generation". Culture is being transitioned where kids are being more and more disrespectful to their parents, being affected by drugs, where most of the time they end up in a hospital or worse death. We wanted to put up something that young people would see something different; see something that would really help them navigate through life whatever challenges are brought to them. KAIBIGAN the Series is about 4 friends that are interacting in this time of pandemic. How can they encourage each other? How can they be of help? How can they support one another in this lockdown. God willing we will be able to put out more movies, more series that would be able to reflect the same values and become bigger in the next few months or years."

Now make sure you watch the first episode happening this December 5, at 8:45am on GMA. See how they will make the first step, the first journey through life and how they could teach others that it's possible to succeed with goodness in their heart, live life with respect and become better individuals too. Again, this is produced under Perkinspiredflix.

ASUS Releases All New INTEL Powered ASUS ZenBook Series

Looks like ASUS is not going to give you a breather after coming out with new models last month. This time, they've got us drooling over these new laptop computers in a lovely reveal event.

This evening, ASUS Philippines introduced new hardware powered by Intel processors on an ASUS ZenBook line they properly call The Incredibel Class. To test it out, they got world class furniture  designer Ito Kish, Cyndi Fernandez-Beltra the owner of Manila Moss and  actress, director, producer and princess of all trades Bella Padilla to do real world work with it, to tell us how it fared. They went hands on with the the new #ASUSZenBookS, the #ASUSZenBookFlipS and the lovely looking #ASUSZenBookFlip13. All of which are equipped with the new Intel 11th Gen Processors.

The ASUS ZenBook Flip S and ASUS Zenbook S utilizes the Intel Evo Platformso you get superior hardware performance that Intel can only deliver. Aside from that, the ASUS ZenBook Flip 13 carries stunning display and more power, one that is required in these times, where your workplace needs it. Without sacrificing looks, these laptop computers can perform above and beyond industry standards, one that you'll love for your office, home office (especially for the creatives), or just casual play.

For Ito Kish, he would like a high performing ASUS ZenBook Flip S UX371EA. He gets the Intel Evo Platform that gets the work done together with the 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7 Processor that's in it. It's very efficient in power consumption, all because it's got an Intel® Iris® Xe graphics card that doesn't hog as much as its predecessors. He's enjoyed the 4K UHD NanoEdge touchscreen and OLED HDR display because he needs to see the minute details of every project he handles and designs. They also took care of the harmful blue light by around 70% so you won't be squinting too much with it. It's also very light at 1.2kg and quite thin compared to the rest in its class.

 

 

 

Bela on the other hand loves the ASUS ZenBook S UX393. It's got that lovely oriental look with it's Jade Black colorway and Red Copper diamond-cut edge. Weighing in at 1.35 kg, it's quite light and the vivid colors and details are always on point. She would use it for work and entertainment. It too is equipped with the 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7 processor and Intel® Iris® Xe graphics, so you don't have to worry about power consumption.

Cyndi loves the form and factor of the ASUS ZenBook Flip 13 UX363EA. It's got 1.3 kg weight, so it's quite portable to take around anywhere. The NanoEdge touchscreen display can be extended out to present stuff, and is very slim at 13.9 mm. It doesn't sacrifice the common I/O ports, and utilizes the 360° ErgoLift hinge design that is only found on these models. It also has a NanoEdge Touchscreen, Full HD Display and supports the handy dandy ASUS Pen for different screen applications.

The ASUS ZenBook S UX393EA costs Php 99,995, while the ASUS ZenBook Flip S UX371EA costs Php 94,995. Last but not the least, the ASUS ZenBook Flip 13 UX363EA costs PHP 64,995, which all can now be acquired in ASUS concept stores and partner establishments of ASUS Philippines across the country.
