Asterra Set to Build More Homes in the PH

Friday, March 24, 2023


Millenials preferrecd home of choice has been condominium units. It's something that has been seen as less hassle to maintain, especially if you're always out of town or the country and worry about security. It makes total sense especially for young able bodies folks to see the world of course, and good thing there are affordable ones in different cities, even if they are property investments.

It can also be passed on to next of kin or family quite easy than to think more of land and paperwork that comes with it. A Vista Land project called Asterra has been increasing in demand for those thinking about their future, OFW's and the young working class need something that would get themselves additional income by renting it out, or having arrangements in the property. Needless to say, they're amping up the tempo in building even more projects set in over 20 cities/municipalities elsewhere in the Philippines.

Asterra homes are modern, suburban, very habitable and perfect for starting a family, or become an investment. As Ms. Armela Ruiz, the Asterra Division Head for South Luzon says "We're going to have Asterra in premier locations in different regions of the country. We've worked hard to make them the condo of their dreams and facilities that have sense like basketball courts, multipurpose halls, and can be used by family or unit owners if there's an occasion. These are well designed, mid rise structures that are only 4-7 floors and have access to shops, churches, transportation as it is well planned. All of these have been arranged with ample security, so people who live in it have less to worry about when they leave their homes.  

There are also plans to have house and lot developments so make sure you stay tuned to Asterra's social channels (by searching AsterraOfficial) or their website asterra.com.ph for more details. Announcements of locations will be rolled out soon and can be seen in the same means, go live in an Asterra today!

NADINE, BEA + More at the OPPO Inspriation Ahead Event


Super happy to see OPPO getting a little closer to lifestyle events as they held an "Inspiration Ahead" forum with speakers like stylists Pam Quinones and Daryl Chang, concert photographer to the stars Magic Liwanag, and Fashion and Style blogger David Guison. It was nice to see them share their expertise in their respective fields, but in a nutshell, it takes guts to be fashionable, it's okay to experiment, make amends with style mishaps in the past (and to just go ahead and try it). 

 


 

Leanne and Naara also provided needed entertainment in the middle of festivities, music from them was really super nice, a lot of people danced during their set. I'm a fan of their music now :)


Magic says "My inspiration starts the moment I wake up, shooting different people, I learned that it depends on how you feel. Experience for me is champ! As a photographer, I'm glad my wife isn't a content creator, I get to rest, capture moments, even if it's not Hollywood or international artists, I get to share my story. OPPO really helped me become pro active, because of its functionalities, from Reno to Find, you get excited to take photos and remain inspired anywhere."

David Guison says "I don't really think bout it so much nowadays, just dark, minimalist, things that you don't tend to see much, that's what I document. Knowing what you like is your style. It's nice to see people that hype you up, it helps because you get to say hi and show your personality. "

During the evening, they had Bea Alonzo on stage and talk about her own passions. She also shared her ways on finding inspiration on everything she does. She was extremely happy to see her fans on the grounds since late lunch time. That's dedication right there!

 

Then to make the evening even better, I was able to take a few minutes to talk to President NADINE LUSTRE who has been in the headlines these past few weeks. But of course, we didn't talk about THAT. I had to ask how she's been, and how she feels being trusted by OPPO all these years. It's been a while since I've sat down with her, so here, enjoy!

I think this was my favorite shot that evening :)

Nadine also has stressed how she loves her RENO line of phones which she's endorsing with OPPO, and for the tons of new phones that they have come out with in recent months. These men and women do inspire a lot of people, and sharing those experiences probably would make all of us see our efforts, that it's okay to take time. Thank you for having me at the OPPO Inspiration Festival! :) 

Oh by the way, more events like these and offers are being announced through the their channels so go give them a follow! Recently they priced the OPPO A96 at Php 14,999, plus some news about their folding phone would be a nice thing to get acquainted with, go see it there!

Hannah Precillas Takes on Sharon Cuneta's "Sa Aking Daigdig"

Wednesday, March 22, 2023


Hannah Precillas has been doing a lot these days.Aside from being in All Out Sundays as a part of Queendom, she's also a go to person for a lot of GMA's homegrown and international shows for their official soundtracks. Not surprised because she's been doing the country proud all these years after her stint at D' Academy Asia in Indonesia and the throng of events she's been in. 

She had a single in the past that did pull a lot of heartstrings, and this time, she's happy to have been able to do her own rendition of Megastar Sharon Cuneta's "Sa Aking Daigdig" (In my world) which was done back in the 80's. Much to her worry, it was going to be hard since it is a classic OPM song from one of the greats in the music industry, plus it was going to be difficult to follow a pretty successful song back in the days. 

Hannah had to refuse listening to the Sharon Cuneta version so it wouldn't have any effect to what she plans to do with her version. She admits only listening to it once before she recorded it and veer away so she could do a different take on this single.

Here's our interview with her this afternoon, please enjoy!

 

There are currently no plans to release other original music in the near future but as Hannah says, she's ready for whatever surprise GMA Music has up their sleeves and she's raring to do it. She also had difficulties making original songs because she tends to do lengthy stories about it instead. She also told us that it's difficult for her to write them because in a sense, she doesn't have that proper ending yet to her story.

She is currently in a relationship and is very happy. If you want to hear her version, the single is already out on digital platforms so make sure you stream them, download and take that Hannah Precillas experience even further. Again, this is under GMA Music. Thank you for the opportunity to talk to you again Hannah!
