It was fun to see the brightest stars of GMA at the SM Skydome a few days ago. Artists like the recently viral Andrea Torres, leading man Jeric Gonzales, Voltes V Legacy's Ysabel Ortega, Miguel Tanfelix, Radson Flores, Matt Lozano, Raphael Landicho, Martin del Rosario, the First Lady Sanya Lopez, businessman and actor Ken Chan all gave the fans a show they would never forget. It was a gathering of sorts, and they wanted the fans to experience how it is to be with their favorite celebrities.
Aside from that, this was also a venue to introduce new generation of Kapuso stars and the teens who just got signed by the network did not disappoint. Much of the hosting, dancing and singing numbers had them showcase what they have in store for future GMA shows. I love the Sparkada and the new ones who introduced themselves on stage, some extremely good looking ones too.

Fans won prizes through raffles and games that Kapuso stars also participated in. This event really made the celebrities accessible to their fans, as a way of thanks for all the years they supported their idols.
Make sure you follow Sparkle's social channels to get to know more of the new Kapuso stars and their new upcoming shows on the same network.
It's been a while since we've seen Ms. Marites Allen in person. She's been to the UK and different parts of the globe to share her knowledge in Feng Shui and this time, she's doing quite differently. Donned in a Rabbit Cape ensemble made by Dexter Alazas (inspired by Marites Allen's Golden Zodiac), she shared how we all could take advantage of the Year of the Water Rabbit this 2023.
What's
up with the coming Year of the Water Rabbit this 2023?
Ms. Marites Allen chimes in on what you could look forward to if you're
an avid fan of Feng Shui. 2020 was a year of new beginnings. 2021 was
the year of vaccinations, 2022 was a year of breakups while this year is
about "Letting Go!"
The center is love star, so if you want to let go, this is the opportune
time for that.
She says "In
the last 2 and a half years, I was approached by the largest publisher
in the UK and they are publishing my Chinese Astrology book this
January, you can pre order now on AMAZON UK. This will also be released
in the US and the Philippines later in the year. This is the first time I
had to be away from my children because they are growing, I have my
planner. If you are born in the year of the horse, you will be rich this
year. The best seller Almanac with lucky days and months is now also
bundled with books with special mantras, this was very helpful for me.
This include a lot of secrets you can take advantage of for the year of the Water Rabbit."
She adds "The rabbit needs to be careful because of the illness star. In 2023, if you are boar, dog, a father, you will be a little challenged this year until 2024. The next 20 years will be more for women. We cannot just rely on Feng Shui, we need to work hard to make sure things are good for us. We will be an online event on December 17 and 18. Our book is going to be available on Amazon UK. We will also enter the Metaverse, a first of its kind."
Feng Shui Enters Metaverse
If you avidly follow what she's doing every year, you know there's bound to be something new up her sleeves. She has officially been the first to officially do this in the country. She's on her infancy in entering the Metaverse. During this year's annual Feng Shui forecast (which will happen on December 17 and 18), she will be launching her Golden Zodiac books (all 12 of them) which will contain a new AR function wherein you can proudly see your own symbol just by scanning the QR code on the book itself.
You can purchase the books bundled together with the Planner and Almanac which is already available at https://frigga.com.ph/collections/books. They will also be rolling out Golden Zodiac through KALOSCOPE to begin issuing NFT's (which also has value) in order to get perks, access to exclusive events, discounts on the Frigga shop and discounts on private consultations with the Queen of Feng Shui Marites Allen.
The 2023 Feng Shui Planner, Personal Horoscope Books
If you want to have a detailed guide for the on where to place things in your house, the Feng Shui Planner is essential. The Personal Horoscope Books will also be good for reading without the need to pass through other signs as this is now in separate books. You can give this to friends, family who might need the same love and help that Ms. Marites Allen provides.
You can now purchase these items at the Frigga.co.uk or Frigga.com.ph sites or through Lazada. Tickets to her event on December can also be bought through the same websites mentioned. You can also call them via 09209509390 if you have inquiries about the event. You can also follow her social media channels as updates about this and the guides are posted there on a regular basis. This is just the glimpse of what's to come with Ms. Marites Allen, proving she's not just the Queen of Feng Shui, but of innovations as well.
I haven't, but from the looks of it, it makes total sense.
Back in the day, the parenting style in the Philippines was perceived to be very strict, ultra conservative, very matriarchal, and include flying slippers and hangers every once in a while.
Not everyone knew that parenting actually can work even if we deal with kids and do parenting in a very calm demeanor. It's properly called gentle parenting. It involves respect, understanding, empathy and setting healthy boundaries, without taking away individual happiness which is extremely important for kids. The style would make them very confident and independent too.
When a kid does something bad, don't attack the person, but the action. Tell them how you feel, introduce another way to do it and ask them why it would be better. Ease in on why you think why his actions are wrong. It also pays to be a good example. Not only would they inherit your good looks, but your manners. If you are kind, respectful, they'll see how you walk the talk and become an inspiration for them. You'll be a person that they'd aspire to become especially your good traits.
You should also encourage his/her good actions. We're not here to just point out his bad side, we should always notice how good they were at school, how they help doing chores. It's the little things that make up a huge dent on their personality because that's how positive reinforcement works. Aside from that, make the habit of asking and supporting their dreams. Be it a cashier in the restaurant, a construction worker, a truck driver, a pilot or a doctor, this will make a huge difference in the long run as they develop independence and the value of education.
Although education seem to be a bit pricey these days, there's always AIA Philippines' Future Scholar. A product that can get you cash payouts, an assure you that your child's dreams of graduatiing someday would be fulfilled. This can act as savings, an investment, to help finance your child's education even after school's done.

This can also be claimed lump sum if anything untoward happens to you.
AIA Future Scholar gives you peace of mind. This was designed with parents in mind so you continue to live happier, healthier lives. If you want to know more about it, head on to https://www.aia.com.ph/en/our-products/education/future-scholar.html for more information about it.
If you haven't seen it, then it's time you do. This is the new ASUS Zenbook 17 Fold OLED laptop. This is the world's very first foldable ultra compact and light OLED laptop that can fit in 17.3 inch boxes and used in different modes. Absolutely stunning to see in person.
It utilizes it's huge 2560x1920 4:3 ratio foldable OLED touchscreen, Intel Core i7 1250OU processor, 16GB LPDDR5, 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD storage, Intel Iris Xe Graphics loaded with Windows 11 Home OS and Microsoft Office Home and Student 2021 edition. It's pretty packed for something very light and amazing, I could imagine this being used by executives, content creators and just about anyone who is in the marketing field. It transforms the whole length into a screen so those presentations would certainly be covered if you get this new machine.

Su the ASUS Philippines Country Manager says "We are excited to be here
with you in person. Over 30 years ago ASUS started in a rooftop of an
apartment and then went into manufacturing motherboards in Taiwan. ASUS
ZENBOOK carries the design philosophy of over 30 years of innovation.
The number 1 OLED laptop brand nationwide, we continue to push
boundaries of creating a laptop. We consistently remodel the gaming
arena and now we are the number 1 gaming brand in the Philippines and
the world."
ASUS Expert Series is part of ASUS Business. This includ e the ZenBook,
VivoBook, and today they introduced a lot of innovations including the
world's first 17 inch OLED Laptop. It's got 6 modes of use and it would
fit your lifestyle.
Kyle Hubo says "It is innovative, has Mobility and is setting new industry standards as the first OLED display that has got HDR OLED giving you blur free photos, videos, best in class colors, 70 percent less blue light , extreme contrast plus a quad speaker system. It is practical and reliable. You can use it on laptop mode, portrait mode, landscape mode tablet mode, reader mode, or others. If you want to share ideas, use the kick stand, unfold it for others to see. The 17.3 inch screen would be good especially on extended mode as you can work and watch without closing windows on full screen. The keyboard and touchpad knows when it's attached, so it would be easy to go in and out, switch devices just by pressing Bluetooth buttons on its keyboard. This is also military grade and is built to last. The Core i7, 4K display, and easy to charge via USB-C option will make this one of the most wanted products this year!"
The Glide X cross device screen sharing solution also works on this device. It's free and proprietary, so those photoshoots will certainly be easy for photographers or creative people.
They also showcased the new creator series and told us how it could make our content creation journey easier if you've got a powerful machine. Aside from that, they also announced new promos including a 23,000 worth of products and devices that would come free in every purchase of the ASUS Fold OLED, plus one from Home Credit wherein you can get the device at 0% interest in 12 months payment scheme. Albeit a little pricey, it's understandable because of the new technology we're seeing now. At Php 219,999, it's only going to be sold in the Philippines at 100 units. Things may run out fast so if you're interested, get it from the ASUS official website at asus.com/ph/laptops/for-home/all-series/zenbook-17-fold-oled-ux9702/
