Who wants to stay young forever? Given the substantial amount of money and guts, I for one would like to turn back time by trying the anti aging procedures like Botox and fillers, Thermage and now the non-invasive, non surgical facial rejuvenation, Ultherapy. It is by far the safest method as of this writing and has a lasting effect within a year, you can see the results after 2 to 3 months after the procedure or it depends on your collagen producing body.
Ultherapy is a safe, non-surgical ultrasound treatment that counteracts the effects of time and gravity on your skin. Ultherapy uses the body's own regenerative response to gently and gradually lift skin on the eyebrow, under the chin and on the neck, and smooth lines and wrinkles on the décolletage.
Ultherapy is a process that involves and produces new collagen. The treatment relies on your body's own collagen-building process for younger, looking skin.
The “Natural Youthful Skin Through The Beauty Of Sound with Ultherapy" was launched last July 17 at Le Jardin, the event was hosted by Ms. Angel Jacob and graced by Drs. Hsien-Li Peter Peng, M.D., Venzo Viceral, M.D., Z Teo, M.D. and Ronaldo G. Elepano III, M.D.
(Two of the best ) panel of doctors who were present during the Ultherapy launch;
Dr. Peter Peng is a board certified Dermatologist and the Director of Dr. Peng’s Dermatological , Cosmetic and Laser Clinic (P-Skin professional Clinic) in Taiwan.
He received his medical education at the National Defense Medical Center in Taipei, Taiwan, before completing his residency at the Department of Dermatology, TriService General Hospital in Taipei.
Dr. Z Teo on the other hand is a doctor husband to his equally famous celebrity dermatologist wife Dr. Aivee Teo, According to his bio, Dr. Z Teo, completed his basic medical training at the University of Glasgow, United Kingdom. Dr. Z Teo took a keen interest in medical aesthetics. After witnessing the clear physical and psychological benefits when principles of wellness and beauty come together he decided to pursue medical aesthetics as his main practice focus. Dr. Z Teo trained under the mentorship of regionally renowned cosmetic surgeons and dermatologists with the aim of perfecting his skills.
Dr. Z Teo believes in enhancing his patient’s appearance and improving their body image using minimally invasive non-surgical methods. Dr. Z Teo’s approach is based on fully understanding his patient’s needs, goals and lifestyle before he proceeds to recommend the appropriate treatments.
Ultherapy requires no downtime, however, before the procedure, let your doctor do some test on you or discuss what you would expect after the treatment.
How do you take care of your gadgets? I stored it away from direct sunlight, to take care of its screen. I always clean the screen with microfiber clothes. I always buy protective casing to personalize it and to keep it from breaking, I discovered recently that Rhinoshield Crash Guard bumper and Impact Screen Protector carries the World's Strongest Bumper Case, by attending the Rhinoshield's event.
The World’s Strongest Bumper Case and Screen Protector Rhinoshield recently launched The Rhino Shield Crash Guard Bumper Case and Impact Screen Protector at the Resorts World's Newport Cinema last July 17 with the special block screening of Ant Man.
Rhino shield set a new benchmark in protective cases providing superior impact absorption and incredible impact dispersion capability than other boxy, bulky, "military" and rugged cases available in the market.
Impact Protection Screen Protector
The Impact Protection can effectively disperse impact, therefore significantly reduces the chance of shattered screen. The Impact Protection was engineered to be scratch resistant and could withstand high pressures, despite being 0.029 cm thin, practically as thin as three layers of print paper but highly transparent. It has an oleo phobic coating, a technology that keeps from smudges, droplets of water and all that nasty stuff you get on your phone, while maintaining a clear and smooth texture to glide your fingers on.
Crash Guard Bumper Case
The Crash Guard uses a novel dual material in a one pieced construction. It is equipped with egg drop technology, a premium grade poly-carbonate derived hard-shell and a proprietary shock absorbing polymer that absorbs almost 90% of the impact of the phone dropped. It also has a protective honeycomb structure that also serves like an airbag dispersion compartment that absorbs 10-15% more of the impact of the drop.
It features a minimal design approach. The goal is to cover up as little of your device as possible while adding maximum protection. The Crash Guard bumper- style case allows for as much exposure of your device and Apple’s original design as possible. It also has a matte finish, which is not only fashionable, but also serves as a means of enhancing your grip on your device. The finish also serves to make the bumper more durable as it is harder to scratch unlike cases and bumpers with a glossy/ candy shell finish, which scratch very easily.
It weighs just as much as a pencil or a pen, 12 grams and is 2.5 cm thick. It also understood the need for efficiency of easily accessing the buttons and port holes without sacrificing the overall look of the case.
Rhino Shield’s bumper case and screen protector are available on Power Mac Center, Applewerkz, Lazada and on other leading gadget stores nationwide.

I first saw Young JV in one of the episode of the series in Honesto and I must say I was impressed by the acting skills of this newbie. But it was only last week that I discovered that he is also a singer, dancer and composer-- and a good one at that.
The talented Young JV whose first two albums (“Ready Or Not” and “Doin’ It Big”) earned platinum and gold record awards recently launched his third album "YJV" bannered by his single "Ale". The launch was held at Timog last July 21. The song is a hooky upbeat pop he co-wrote with Philpop winner Thyro Alfaro, with a fun music that is simply fast-garnering viewers on music channels and social media sites. Young JV is co-managed by Star Magic and Cornerstone.
The five-track package distributed by Star Music is one lean-but-mean album, containing just five songs -- but each strong enough to be single material. Two other numbers feature popular female voices in KZ Tandingan (“Mismo Baby”) and Karylle (“Hurts So Bad”). He also co-penned the tracks with topnotch songwriters Jungee Marcelo and Marcus Davis, Jr.
But here’s more to be thrilled about. The freshly out album produced by Doin’ It Big Prod is actually set for repackaging after he did something spectacularly noteworthy. That is, collaborate with quintessential Pinoy act Vice Ganda for a recording of a new song entitled “PasaDiyos” which will definitely grace the special edition release.
Loaded with talents as he is also seriously into acting and basketball, JV feels the need to include the said song in line with the nature of his third CD. He related, “Exciting, that’s how I feel about my third album. You’ll find a fusion of EDM (Electronic Dance Music) and R&B.”
He describes that combination as “an explosion of heavy, melodic, and uplifting synths that can only come from my heart.”
Young JV, whose first two albums (“Ready Or Not” and “Doin’ It Big”) earned platinum and gold record awards, respectively, is not new to collaborating with big stars. He previously did one called “Ngiti” with Gary Valenciano, along with other album track duets featuring Myrtle and Yeng Constantino. Last year he co-interpreted with Duncan Ramos the Philpop entry “Hang Out Lang.” If given a chance, he would like to have a collaboration with Sarah Geronimo and Bamboo.
On stage live, other artists find him fulfilling to work with. In fact, he became a member of a group dubbed A-Pop who at one point regularly performed on ABS-CBN’s ASAP. Anytime soon he will appear on the same show to do a number with KZ backed by an orchestra.
At the moment he is busy doing mall and campus tour to promote “YJV.” He will be at DLSAU (July 23), NU (July 31) and AMAES (August 11). He has two more mall shows this month: SM Angono (July 25) and SM Sta. Mesa (July 26).
On the acting front, JV, youngest son of retired Colonel Red Kapunan of EDSA 1 fame, is currently focused on his bit as Gregg in the highly watched ABS-CBN “Honesto” TV series. Last year he joined the cast of the latest “Dyesebel” TV series as David; further back he competently acted on a couple of “Maalaala Mo Kaya” episodes, and on the series “Annaliza,” “Princess and I,” and on “Budoy” – a performance which caught the attention of the public as he shone bright as back-up to the title role of Gerald Anderson.
As if being an accomplished singer-actor is not enough, JV is also a basketball star in his own right, usually excelling during celebrity challenges. He won MVP during the 2013 Star Magic Games while netizens got delighted viewing his friendly skill show-off against collegiate star-defender Kiefer Ravena during a streetball game.
More importantly he never forgets to give back for all the blessings coming his way. He founded the Lahing Bayani Foundation, while also serving as ambassador for HERO Foundation, All Lights Village, and PhilYEN. Obviously, there’s a special place in his heart for children of fallen heroes in military service. He will be celebrating his 25th birthday at AFP grounds with some recipients of his cause-oriented activities.
Below is a complete schedule of his ongoing SM mall and campus tour.

It’s a special day every Wednesday at the Orange Blush Salon in Cabanatuan City, as they treat their clients with special promotions and discounts on all of their salon services.
Orange Blush salon owner Joby Linsangan-Moreno says that on Wednesdays, they treat their already important clients “a little more special” by giving discounts on their services. For instance, a haircut costs P80 on regular days, but only P60 on Wednesdays; regular hair rebond is at P1,000, but drops to P800 only on Wednesdays. All other salon services are also discounted.
But why Wednesday? What’s so special about Wednesday? Explains Joby: “It’s the midweek, and we usually have the lowest head count during this day; we wanted to come up with exciting and unique promos that can create a strong customer loyalty base and relationship and at the same time, think of promos that could strengthen our brand. It is always our priority to deliver salon services with the highest quality yet affordable services, that come with warranty.”
But that’s not all. They actually have promos all year round, as their way of reaching out to clients and thanking them for their patronage.
“We usually have monthly promos that are related to special events/holidays during the month or season, from January to December,” says Joby. “Like, for Valentine’s Day, we give out two free movie tickets for couples who avail of P1,000 worth of salon services; recently we gave away five iPad minis to lucky customers who took part in our raffle draw. With a minimum of P250 worth of salon services, one is already entitled to one raffle ticket, and during the Christmas season, we have discounted package services (Hair Rebond with Hair Cellophane and foot spa). And also, just recently, we gave away free colognes (in vials) for every P250 worth, with discount coupons. We also have upcoming promos made especially for students, where they can avail free salon services (for the day) with every P250 worth of salon services availed and upon presentation of their school identification cards.”
These promos are part of Orange Blush salon’s effort to continually upgrade their services.
“Our aim as a company is to improve continuously; to do better every day, every week, every month, every year,” says Joby. “We strive to know our customers more and establish strong direct relationships with them. The market is ever-changing, and thus challenging; and we are aware that we need to keep up and step up to deliver the best salon services.”
To date, they have upgraded the interiors of all their company-owned branches, with the help of their partners, professional contractors and interior designers. “We want our salons to look very welcoming and attractive, and we also want to make sure that our customers are comfortable whenever they visit our salons. We also strive to offer only the best hair salon services and products, and we update and upgrade our hair salon services procedures and products every now and then to keep up with the customers and the trends in the industry.”
Another innovation that Orange Blush Salon has introduced is what Joby refers to as the Warranty Services. This is like a guarantee that clients will get only the best whenever they patronize the salon.
“We want our clients to know and feel that we do every hair procedure with outmost care and knowledge, and that our service extends beyond our treatments done inside the salon. We are ultimately responsible for our services that we render to our customers. We give out our warranty service slips, and customers are asked to come back to our salon for a free hair check-up, to check and see how our customers are doing and check on their hair/nails as well.”
Joby thinks that it is important for each customer to be treated fairly and with importance, and that every service should always be given with love and sincerity. “That is our way of showing them that we care.”

Every household in our country, from 8 out of 10 owns a karaoke.

Platinum Karaoke, makers of high quality and high definition karaoke machines and accessories perfect for every home, recently launched its two new exciting products MAJOR HD10 and BRAVO last July 21 together with the introduction of two very talented “BIRIT” ambassadors Vice Ganda and Angeline Quinto at a fun and lively event recently held at the Luxent Hotel in Quezon City.
An amazing brand that is sure to bring about fun and enjoyment just like how the event turned out, Platinum Karaoke offers thousands of songs, high-definition video and images, very affordable and up-to-date upgrade, and excellent sound quality.
Introduced during the affair were the two new Platinum Karaoke models. The first is the HD Wireless Bravo which boasts of excellent high-definition sound, quarterly song updates, multimedia playback, multiple HD video backgrounds and is highlighted by over 6,600 OPM and English Songs, among others. Bravo also has a remarkable portability feature as it comes with its own carrying case that can be taken wherever, whenever.

The MAJOR HD-10 Karaoke, on the other hand, is not just a karaoke system but a full entertainment package in itself. MAJOR is equipped with high-end specifications which include dual core processor, 1 TB Hard Disk Drive storage, creating a reliable and very powerful karaoke player. MAJOR prides itself with innovative multimedia functions that enable the user to play, store, edit and copy any media files in the karaoke player acting as a media console at the same time.
Platinum Karaoke also has its own advanced recording studio to program all songs as close to the original. Every high-end and mid-level unit is programmed with live-recorded background vocals and the Training Song Technology, which is an automatic function wherein pre-recorded vocals are played to guide the user on the right vocals and tone to hit as the song plays. The brand is likewise definitely all about fun and happiness and the chosen ambassadors are indeed the epitome of both -- Vice Ganda and Angeline Quinto.
As Platinum Karaoke aims to provide millions of Filipinos locally and all over the world high definition music and entertainment, the brand has chosen Vice Ganda, being a versatile and total performer with comedic
nature, and a trendy recording artist. Vice Ganda indeed well-represents the unique features and benefits of Platinum Karaoke - high definition at ‘Bonggang’ sound.
He quipped with delight, ‘I am very happy to be chosen as one of the brand ambassadors of Platinum Karaoke for many reasons. First, I believe in the product as I personally have one, and actually use it at every fun get-together at home with family and friends.’
Vice Ganda happily added, ‘To my amazement, their song list is more updated than the Karaoke bars and with sound so superb that even my non-singing friends suddenly sounding like pros! Secondly, karaoke-singing is very close to what I truly love doing which are SINGING and having FUN! But more importantly, I am sharing this delightful endorsement with someone that is almost a sister to me, my good friend Angeline Quinto!’
As a champion singer, Angeline Quinto is Platinum's confident choice to embody its high-definition features. Aside from having one of the most beautiful voices in the country, she is also a talented actress. She continuously strives to be better in her craft, just like how Platinum innovates and releases new models that will fit the needs and lifestyle of Filipinos.
Angeline shared with the audience, “It's a privilege for me to be chosen as one of the brand ambassadors for Platinum Karaoke because even before I entered the industry, talagang kumakanta na ako using the karaoke. Dati kailangan ko pa magbayad para makakanta sa karaoke, pero ngayon meron na akong Platinum at brand ambassador pa!’
She added with excitement, ‘Very significant ang Platinum Karaoke sa career ko kasi malaki ang tulong sa akin nito sa pag-aaral ng mga kanta. Minsan, hindi ko na kailangang humingi ng study materials dahil using my own Platinum Karaoke, naaaral ko na ang mga ito at the convenience of our home. Saan ka pa?’
Truly, Platinum Karaoke is the only choice for both Vice Ganda and Angeline Quinto. With thousands of songs more than what its competitors provide in the market, you get to “Birit Pa More” with their two new products, and two amazing and inspiring performers.
Platinum Karaoke is available in all leading music stores nationwide. For more information, please visit www.platinumkaraoke.ph, like The PlatinumKaraoke in Facebook and follow Twitter and Instagram accounts @platinumkaraoke.
New Line Cinema’s outrageous comedy “Vacation” starring Ed Helms, Christina Applegate and Chris Hemsworth, marks the big screen return of the Griswold clan—and their epically disastrous family outings.
The Griswolds first hit the screen in 1983 with the release of John Hughes’s and Harold Ramis’s zeitgeist-shifting “National Lampoon’s Vacation,” based on Hughes’s short stories in the eponymous humor magazine. The film became a global phenomenon and opened the way for the Griswolds to bumble through an escalating series of hilarious highs and gut-bustingly funny lows in the three subsequent films that followed—1985’s “National Lampoon’s European Vacation,” 1989’s “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” and 1997’s “Vegas Vacation.” Collectively, the films have introduced a litany of outrageous one-liners into the American cultural lexicon, and garnered generations of fans.
Among them were filmmakers Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley, the scribes behind films like “Horrible Bosses” and “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2,” who are making their directorial debut with the 2015 entry in the canon.
The creative pair grew up steeped in the misadventures of the luckless but ever-optimistic Clark Griswold, which Chevy Chase embodies as the ultimate silver screen father who tries too hard, along with Beverly D’Angelo as his wife and eternal voice of reason, Ellen. But the hapless father taking his family to Walley World this time around is Rusty Griswold—who as a teenager delivered some of the film series’ biggest laughs and as an adult is walking proof that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Goldstein calls the Griswold clan “the unluckiest family in the world, but that’s also what makes them relatable. We’ve all been in these situations where you get together with your family and nothing seems to go right. On the other hand, the things that happen to our Griswolds probably never happen to anybody in the real world to a large extent.”
“I would only hope,” Daley adds. “At the same time, it’s funny to watch someone fall down, but it’s never funny to fall down. You’re laughing at yourself, you’re embarrassed, but if you’re looking at it from an outsider’s perspective, it’s always going to be funnier than if you’re the one experiencing it. And I think that there is a certain sense of relief that people get in watching a family go through such terrible, terrible times—because it’s not happening to them.”
With the torch being passed to the current generation of gifted onscreen comedians, it makes perfect sense that the writer/directors would enlist The Hangover trilogy’s hapless dentist Stu—Ed Helms—to inherit the Griswold surname. As Rusty, Helms is joined onscreen by Christina Applegate, one of today’s most beloved cinematic comediennes, as Rusty’s wife, Debbie, with young actors Skyler Gisondo and Steele Stebbins playing their warring sons, Kevin and James, and Chase and D’Angelo reprising their iconic roles.
Opening across the Philippines August 19, “Vacation” is a New Line Cinema presentation and will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment company.
Casino Filipino (CF) Angeles, the three-decade old Kapampangan-themed gaming facility is taking its entertainment and gaming offerings to a new level as it launches its new tagline, “We Never Stop” last July 18 at Casino Filipino Angeles. The launch were graced by CF Branch Manager Redentor Rivera, Emar F. De Guzman, slot machine department head, and Erlinda M. Yenko, senior branch admin manager for marketing, entertainment and bingo and PAGCOR AVP for Entertainment and Bingo Department Bong Quintana.
CF Angeles Main has 43 gaming tables and 412 slot machines. It has two satellites – one in Mimosa inside Clark, the other at Oriental Pavilion in Guiguinto, Bulacan and a VIP Club in Leisure World in Bacolor , Pampanga. Bingo sessions are being conducted in the branch twice every day. The bingo area can accommodate 1,000 to 1,200 guests.
Casino Filipino (CF) Angeles began its operation in 1986 in a small restaurant in Dau, Mabalacat, Pampanga (the former Golden Dynasty). A year after, the the casino was relocated to Angeles City’s Balibago Entertainment Strip. When Mt. Pinatubo erupted in 1991, the entertainment strip was buried in volcanic ash and debris. The area was deserted and several businesses in the area ceased to operate including CF Angeles. Despite the devastation, CF Angeles was the first to rise in cooperation with Mr. Ramon Tang of Century Resort Hotel. Being back in business, CF Angeles contributed largely in stimulating again the economy in the area. In 2003, CF Angeles moved to its new home, a newly constructed Kapampangan-themed building within the complex of Century Hotel, where it is still currently located.
Branch Manager Redentor Rivera said the new tagline best sums up what CF Angeles could offer to its clients. “It is a reflection of who we are because we never stop providing our clients with the best that we can give. We want our clients to see that we never stop delivering the best service; we never stop improving our facilities and we will never stop giving our customers, patrons and guests exciting surprises,” he said.
Rivera added that they have been planning to upgrade CF Angeles since 2013. “Since then, we have done improvements in terms of amenities and facilities to provide a more relaxing and entertaining venue for our customers,” he said.
The recent improvements done by the branch included the installation of a new water-cooled air-conditioning system, a newly opened restaurant at the 2nd floor, setting up of a giant back-to-back LED wall in front of the casino building, the construction of a multi-level parking area, sprucing up the gaming venues and updating computer systems and equipment to better serve its patrons.
CF Angeles also beefed up its entertainment offerings by holding crowd-drawing celebrity shows. “Guided by our tagline, ‘We Never Stop’, we have set our goal to transform CF Angeles into a one-stop-venue for gaming, leisure and entertainment in the North. Our goal is to go beyond client expectation. We want them to experience more than just gaming. We want our patrons to be able to watch top-notch celebrity performances, which are free most of the time,” Rivera enthused.
Part of the branch’s bigger entertainment offerings include big celebrities like Anne Curtis, Martin Nievera, Erik Santos, Richard Poon, Jose Mari Chan, Aiza Seguerra, Ariel Rivera, Aljur Abrenica, Antoinette Taus, Ray Ann Fuentes, Tillie Moreno, Top Suzara, Jinky Vidal, Sitti Navarro, Jimmy Bondoc, Freddie Aguilar, Sheryn Regis, Ellen Adarna and Sam Pinto during the second half of 2015.
“Our patrons can look forward to great music and entertainment. It’s not always easy to book a schedule with big celebrities like our guest performers. But we have taken our entertainment offerings to a new level so our patrons will be able to experience what other gaming and entertainment venues have been offering,” Rivera explained.
“With these upcoming shows by famous celebrities, we will surely attract huge crowd including the millennial market or the yuppies who are avid supporters of these performers,” the CF Angeles head added.
Apart from celebrity shows and improved facilities, the branch also offers more exciting gaming events, such as the bingo sessions which are now being held daily to accommodate different market segments.
Another value-added service of the branch is the provision of shuttle services for its patrons from different parts of Northern Luzon including Nueva Ecija, Pangasinan and Baguio.
“Currently, we only have a free 24/7 shuttle service for Korean players in Pampanga. But soon, we will provide more accessible modes of transportation for our local guests,” Rivera said.
He added that with all these improved services, “casino guests from Northern Luzon need not go to Metro Manila to enjoy and be entertained because they could already find what they are looking for here in CF Angeles.”
Rivera stressed that CF Angeles will ensure it maintains its competitive edge over other casinos by employing a more personalized approach in meeting the needs of their patrons. “We owe our competitive advantage to our greatest asset – our employees. Because of them, CF Angeles continues to be the market leader in gaming and entertainment in Pampanga,” Rivera said.
For more details, please call the Branch Marketing and Concierge Office of CF Angeles at (045) 892-5073 local 219 or 119 and +63916-296-5714. #
