BGYO Be The Light Debut

The last time I saw these guys was on stage, in Showtime. I was a bit curious who they were and how they were able to pull off such a technical driven performance. Their name? BGYO a 5 member Filipino boy group riding on the waves of up and coming artists and the whole P-POP industry. I must say, I may have not liked their styling that day, but their jaw performance, is on another level. I immediately knew after watching that song and dance number, I'm not going to be alone in asking WHO ARE THEY?

On their debut last week (January 29), I saw how these guys can sing, be on point with their moves and entertaining a whole generation of P-POP loving folks from around the world. Their training was not as easy because these guys underwent tons of workshops and sessions with trainers from South Korea and the best voice and choreography coaches in the Philippines. Not only that, because their debut event showcased Gelo, Akira, JL, Mikki and Nate's individual talents. They also showed how GOOD they look like when they perform together as BGYO which to me, looks very promising.

 

It was also touching to see them share their personal struggles, their stories, on how hard they have worked for this big break. Aside from the guys performing, they also heard from other artists of ABSCBN. They lauded the boys when they appeared in ASAP and other shows in the Kapamilya network. Just like me, they were astounded seeing them do things on stage and now they too are instant fans. Now I don't want to spoil things for those who have not seen the event, if you want to you still can do it.

Their "The Light" music video is also out now on digital and YouTube so check them out today!

How? Go watch it on February 7 this Sunday on A2Z (Free to air TV) at 4PM. Yiy can also catch it on the Kapamilya Channel and Kapamilya Online Live at around 11PM. You can also watch it via TFC and iWantTFC if you want to see it on digital. I'm telling you, they definitely have good reason to put these guys together, and if they go international, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of girls would go gaga over them. 

 

They're awesome!

Fuji Xerox Launches 21 New ApeosPort Series

Today was an awesome day to launch new products from Fuji Xerox. The brand is synonymous with everything there is to do with copiers, but of course in the industry, they're one of the largest corporations to produce SOHO all in one devices such as copiers, printers, scanners, fax machines, software and cloud services. This pandemic as also been so hard for them business wise, but what I heard earlier in their launch was excitement, optimism that even in these times, they can make your home office or businesses flourish with new top of the line models of their ApeosPort Series.

Hideaki Kato Xerox President says "The past year has been challenging even to our way of life, at 2021, we are moving forward with our new products. This is part of the new normal, we can help businesses with these even in the unprecedented situation. Thank you!"

Eliza Crizanto says "Today we are launching the new ApeosPort series. 21 new models for our Apeos Port series. Whether you are a small, medium or enterprise business, we have multi-function printers in different speeds and sizes. We still have copiers, printers and scanners that would support the new normal lifestyle, freedom from security threats and more. Work style is different, now we have mobile phones, wireless devices, now you can control copy and scan jobs by tapping and controlling it with your smartphones. The toners are made of EA Eco Toners, very eco-friendly, doesn't need much high electric consumption for output. If the components are not being used, it is simply turned off and very eco-compliant. It has smart energy management technology. If you are doing a scan job, the other features are not powered, therefore less electric consumption."

Oscar Dolendo Head of Marketing adds "Our new ApeosPort series have impenetrable data, prevents malware or virus, it also has hard drive encryption, has logged detailed information for tracking. It only allows authenticated users to use the device. It can make you worry free from cyber attacks, the new ApeosPort series has complied with very stringent Japanese/Global standards and technology, giving you freedom from security threats."

James Singson Product Manager for Fuji Xerox says "The security features are already placed in the machines, no need to install anything. If customer need customer support, it will be provided on contract, so no need to worry if the need arises."

ApeosPort series can simplify your work with paperless procedures, electronic signatures, and with it, you can unlock your full business potential. Their carefree management can minimize downtime, easy fleet management, so you can focus on your core business and not attend to any of Fuji Xerox equipment. This is done by electronic partnership-broadband (EP-BB), remote device health check and remote assistance. EP BB send machine information to Fuji Xerox for toner refills, alerts if the machine experience problems, usage, eco impact and service history. Their call centers get the alerts and they contact you directly. That's reassuring. 

Remote Device Health Checks are done with the machine sending data of its different components and device sensing points so they can take pro active efforts sometimes even before customer experiences it. Like wear and tear, service technicians will be deployed and fix it for you. They also take preventive maintenance measures so they can make the equipment healthy. RDHC also generates monthly health reports so they can see machines and its performance. For remote assistance, this is the last line of defense where customers are attended to the quickest possible time. You can connect via cloud by walking through the process, you can fix things and forget about the equipment and use your efforts for the business instead.  

Currently, they have the ApeosPort Series available in the market and you can contact Fuji Xerox Philippines or their channel partners nationwide if you want to avail of their devices and services.

Hearty Filipino Comfort Food for Everyone: GoodAh!!!

I am so hungry I could eat a bear (quoting from Goku of Dagonball Z) and I know what would satisfy my craving. I've always had my Mom cook me a bowl or two of Arroz Caldo but these days, Mom spends so much time working at home that she needs hours of sleep everyday to recoup. I can cook but it's a chore to do that every day. I eat lugaw/goto/arroz caldo quite regularly and we have that for lunch or dinner because I request for it. Yes, you can say I'm a monster for that because it's very comforting. When it's raining, or just a little nippy because of the cold front, I would rather have it than eat things with rice. It hits the spot.

 I write and work in the wee hours of the morning, I am what you can say a nocturnal. If I don't have the strength to go down and work in the kitchen, I order through Grab Food. I'd say the convenience kinda outweighs the cost and really, I don't want to wake up people just for that. If it was a bit early I could order and have it picked up in the GoodAh! Timog Branch, but since GoodAh! is open 25 hours, you can order via Grab Food or Food Panda instead. What's good is that almost all the items on their menu is cheap and the variety of things you can order are plenty so you don't grow tired of what you eat which is a plus in my books.

 So I did the next best thing... I ordered (almost) everything!

Beef Nilaga, this was quite tasty. I love the broth, like they spent hours making this in the kitchen.

Sizzling Sisig, now all I want is a cold bottle or two no?

Fried Bangus, now where did I put that spicy vinegar... it's here somewhere.

Crispy Tokwa... I thought this was Tokwa't Baboy, but I guess my sister ate it all LOL

Lumpiang Shanghai, crunchy, needs ketchup so I'll have to open the cupboard

Now for a healthier alternative, get the Lumpiang Gulay, the perfect pair for my Goto.

Crispy Pata, for the whole family.

My personal favorite in the menu is this, they call this the GOTO SPECIAL. It's got beef tripe, crunchy pork bits, crunchy garlic, hard boiled egg, very hearty serving.

Arroz Caldo, wherein their version is very gingery. A few chicken bits, fried garlic, how can you not love something like this?

 So for those who are looking for a hearty and comforting bowl of Filipino GOTO, it's easy to get one from an institution. Since I've been working in Eastwood, or just lounging around in my home in Quezon City, GoodAh! has saved me from hungry nights all the time. You don't even have to spend too much for a meal that could satisfy even your classy office-mates or family members, because they serve things that are closer to home. That I think is the value of this place, it doesn't have to be too fancy shmancy, just real food that's good, affordable, which can be appreciated by everyone.
