BERLIN LAUNCHES ON NETFLIX ON DECEMBER

 


Netflix will release BERLIN  on December 29th. The spinoff for La Casa de Papel follows one of the most extraordinary heists of the iconic character played by Pedro Alonso, who returns to the role of the hedonistic and clever Berlin. 


Alongside him, his new gang: Michelle Jenner (Isabel) plays Keila, an eminence in electronic engineering; Tristán Ulloa (Fariña) goes into the skin of Damián, a philanthropic professor and Berlin’s confidant; Begoña Vargas (Welcome to Eden) plays Cameron, a kamikaze who always lives on the edge; Julio Peña Fernández (Through My Window) brings to life Roi, Berlin’s faithful squire; and Joel Sánchez plays Bruce, the relentless man of action in the gang. Itziar Ituño (La Casa de Papel) and Najwa Nimri (La Casa de Papel) come back to their roles as policewomen Raquel Murillo and Alicia Sierra, respectively. 

 

Samantha Siqueiros (Lady of Steel), Julien Paschal (One Year, One Night), Masi Rodríguez and Rachel Lascar (Through My Window) complete the cast for BERLIN. 


The eight episodes of the series, created by Álex Pina (La casa de papel, Sky Rojo) and Esther Martínez Lobato (La Casa de Papel), Sky Rojo), are written by Álex Pina, Esther Martínez Lobato, David Barrocal, David Oliva and Lorena G. Maldonado. Will be directed by Albert Pintó (Sky Rojo, Malasaña 32), David Barrocal (Sky Rojo) and Geoffrey Cowper (Day Release).


There are only two things that are sure to turn a bad day into a great one: love, and a payday worth millions. They're what keep Berlin going through his golden years, a time when he still has no inkling of his illness and hasn’t gotten trapped like a rat in the Spanish Mint. This is where he starts preparing one of his most extraordinary heists: making jewels worth 44 million disappear like some sort of magic trick. To do it, he’ll enlist the help of one of the three gangs he’s ever stolen with.

5 Compelling Reasons to Pursue a Graduate Degre


Having extensive knowledge of your field is an advantage. While this can be gained through years of experience in the field, employers find one key qualification that can surely boost your chance of getting the job everybody else wants. And that is a graduate degree.

Here are five (5) reasons why you should pursue graduate studies.

1.Gain more knowledge and experience in your field.

Deeper knowledge and specialized skills in your field of study are obtained when you do your graduate studies. These help you succeed in your career as these qualities attract employers the most. It enhances your credibility for your added degree makes you an industry expert. 

2.Expand your personal growth.

Learning more and new things is one way of enriching your personal growth. As something that we continuously do in our life, having additional education makes us see ourselves in a different light and gives us that added confidence to take on challenges, be it in our careers, but most notably, on a personal level. It prepares you for the future you want to build for yourself.

3. Have the edge in work promotion.

One thing is for sure. Your graduate degree holds power in your pursuit to climb the corporate ladder. In the battle for promotion, one’s academic background is a factor employers consider. More than your loyalty and dedication to the organization, your expertise in your field and good education might just be your ticket to landing the coveted higher position.

4. Get more job opportunities.

In a time where owning a bachelor’s degree is a norm, having a graduate diploma on top of it differentiates you from the pool of professionals in the job market. It gives employers the implication of the things you can do for the company with the skills and knowledge they assume you already have at a glance of your resume. Having a graduate degree will open more job opportunities for you.

5. Boost your earning potential.

With more job opportunities comes with it better earning potential. Employers usually consider allocating higher pay to high positions. And these positions usually require applicants with a master’s or Ph.D. degree. Your higher degree may be your tool to apply for the job you think you qualify for and of course demand for the right pay it should correspond, knowing the academic background you already possess.

OPPO A58: UNBOXING AND FIRST IMPRESSIONS


Besides being the “selfie expert,” I’ve known OPPO as a smartphone brand that designs great-looking smartphones, and the new OPPO A58 is no exception. 

As we dive into the unboxing experience of this stylish yet affordable device, we'll also pick some of its best features that promise to make it a strong contender in its price range.

@lola_lamon Experience the OPPO A58: A Perfect Blend of Style and Performance Featuring a vibrant 6.72” FHD+ Sunlight screen, enhanced Dual Stereo Speakers, and a powerful 50MP AI Camera, the OPPO A58 delivers an immersive entertainment experience, coupled with a sleek, trendsetting design that not only looks stunning but also provides a comfortable grip. The new OPPO A58 is available through OPPO Stores nationwide for only Php9,999. only. #AbsolutelyStylishandPowerful #oppoph #oppoa58 @oppophilippines ♬ Ed Sheeran-style good pops - CodaWaterMusic

What's Inside the Box?

SIM ejector tool

The OPPO A58 arrives in the trademark box of the A series a two-tone gray and white box, that’s clean and very elegant looking. Up front is the Oppo and A58 branding that creates an air of anticipation of what you can find inside.

Safety guide

clear jelly case

Lifting the box lid reveals a compartment that contains a selection of essentials-- the indispensable SIM ejector tool, a set of paper documents containing the user guide and safety information. And last but certainly not least, there’s a clear jelly case that promises to keep the OPPO A58 safe from life's unexpected bumps and scratches, all while allowing the phone's striking design to shine through.

Wall adaptor

USB Charging cable

Underneath is the OPPO A58 unit wrapped snuggly in a parchment paper with some details, and finally the wall adaptor and USB-Charging cable is located at the bottom. 

Now, let's check out some of the standout features of the OPPO A58:

1. Stunning Design and Color Choices: You can hype up all the features, but it’s always the phone’s design that always makes a first impression. The OPPO A58 is a device that makes a strong style statement. OPPO has taken great care to ensure that the A58 is visually appealing and comfortable to hold. Worth noting that it shares the same design principles as its more expensive brothers so that’s already a bonus.

Measuring just 7.99 mm thick, this smartphone boasts a sleek and modern appearance. Despite its battery size which I will get into later,  the A58 remains impressively lightweight, weighing in at about 192g. This combination of slimness and lightweight design ensures that the phone is easy to carry and slip into our bags. 

OPPO has carried forward the iconic Oval Panel Camera Area Design from its predecessors, adding a touch of familiarity to the A58's design. On the back of the A58, you'll notice that the two camera modules have been aligned vertically, creating a balanced and visually appealing look. The contrasting texture of the oval panel adds depth to the phone's design, creating an interplay of light and shadow on the surface.

The A58 is available in two color schemes – Glowing Black and Dazzling Green. These color options cater to different tastes and preferences. The Glowing Black  variant utilizes OPPO's exclusive OPPO Glow process, resulting in a subtle shimmering effect that invokes a sense of depth, akin to the depths of space. Glowing Black presents a premium yet understated, serene look. The Dazzling Green variant, on the other hand, is built on the exclusive OPPO Glow as well, but it brings a silk-like texture to the back cover. Dazzling Green stands out as a flash of elegance and vibrancy, making a bold statement.

2. Large FHD+ Sunlight Display- Besides is sexy back it has an equally brilliant screen as well. The OPPO A58 has a 6.72-inch FHD+ Sunlight screen that offers a clear, bright, and vivid viewing experience. With a high brightness rating of 680 nits and a wide color gamut, this display ensures you can enjoy your content even outdoors. The screen-to-body ratio is impressive, providing an immersive viewing experience whether you're watching your favorite shows or browsing the web.

3. Dual Stereo Speakers with Ultra Volume Mode:  Audio on the A58 gets an upgrade with Dual Stereo Speakers and an Ultra Volume Mode that's unmatched in its price range. These speakers deliver enhanced stereo sound and crystal-clear audio. Ultra-Volume Mode can boost sound volume by 300% without compromising audio quality, making it perfect for noisy environments or when you want to immerse yourself in your media.

4. 50 MP Camera:  The A58 features a powerful camera system, including a 50MP AI Camera, 2MP Portrait Camera, and an 8MP Selfie Camera. It excels in AI Portrait Retouching, ensuring your photos look natural and beautiful. With Panorama Mode and Stylized Nighttime Photography, you can capture stunning moments in various scenarios, even in low light conditions.

5. Long-lasting Battery with Fast Charging: As I mentioned earlier the A58 has a large 5,000mAh battery not only that, it also supports OPPO's 33W SUPERVOOC fast charging technology, the A58 promises extended battery life and quick recharging. With just 75 minutes of charging, you can go from 5% to 100% battery, ensuring you stay connected all day long.

6. Power efficient processor: Under the hood, the A58 is powered by the MediaTek Helio G85 Platform, which offers improved power efficiency, smooth multitasking, and impressive photography capabilities. Its Dynamic Computing Engine optimizes performance for a seamless user experience, and you can choose between 6GB or 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.

OPPO A58

So that’s it for our quick unboxing and first impression of the OPPO A58's most promising features. Over the next few day, I’ll be putting this smartphone to the test in real-life usage scenarios to provide you with a comprehensive review of its performance, cameras, and overall value. 

The new OPPO A58 will retail for Php 9,999 at OPPO stores nationwide.

You may also get your OPPO A58 through the official OPPO online stores. It will be available on Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop. Home Credit offers a 6-month 0% installment priced at Php 1,203 monthly plan available in OPPO stores partnered with Home Credit nationwide. Credit card holders can purchase their own OPPO A58 at 6 months 0% interest installment for all credit cards.

The Brittany Collection Elevates Luxury Living


 

Providing the perfect blend of Italian lifestyle and modern comfort,Portofino is Brittany’s 300-hectare exclusive development set in the heart of Villar City in Alabang.


Brittany Corp
. is taking luxury living to new heights with The Brittany Collection.

 

A thoughtfully curated array of exquisite residences, upscale hotels as well as distinct retail and dining experiences, The Brittany Collection beckons you to embrace the extraordinary and savor the essence of true luxury.

New era of opulence

 

Indeed, Brittany is all set to usher in a new era of opulence in the Philippine setting. After all, the luxury residential and leisure arm of Vista Land & Lifescapes Inc. is renowned for its commitment to excellence and penchant for creating exceptional communities, inspired by some of the most beautiful cities in the world.

 

The Brittany Collection thus represents more than just a vision realized—it’s an embodiment of a lifestyle in which luxury is a way of life. This is why in the realm of modern luxury living, The Brittany Collection stands to become an icon.

Luxury enclaves

 

At the heart of The Brittany Collection lies a portfolio of luxury enclaves that exemplify sophistication, elegance, and exclusivity. These beautiful communities—with their sustainable architecture, thoughtful designs, fine details, and exquisite amenities—are meticulously designed  to cater to the most discerning tastes.

 

Whether you prefer houses and lots or high rise residences, Brittany offers a diverse range of options to suit your preferences. These luxurious respites can exude the elegance of Swiss living, rustic English countryside, or Italian sophistication, among other themes.

 

In all these, Brittany flexes its expertise in seamlessly blending the serenity of natural surroundings with the sophistication of contemporary design. This enables residents to relish the best of both realms—the charm of rustic elements with the refined allure of modern aesthetics. 

 

Thus, you have spaces that exude warmth, embrace simplicity, and yet, radiate timeless elegance, providing an enriching and balanced lifestyle.

 

Case in point would be Brittany’s Portofino in Villar City, Alabang; Pontevedra in Sta. Rosa, Laguna; and Crosswinds in Tagaytay. New neighborhoods will soon rise in Forresta, a luxurious green oasis also in Villar City, Alabang; Bern, a high-rise luxury condominium development in Baguio and Pievana, a sprawling haven for wellness in Sto. Tomas, Batangas.

World-class hospitality 

 

Complementing the opulent residences are upscale hotels that promise to deliver a world-class hospitality experience. These are designed to cater to the needs of residents and discerning travelers, offering comfort, personalized service, and an atmosphere of refined luxury.

 

Brittany Hotel in Bonifacio Global City, for instance, offers exceptional experiences that speak to the demands and expectations of the contemporary traveler with its spacious rooms, smart amenities, gastronomic offerings, and spaces crafted to your needs and whims.

 

Soon, Brittany also will bring this exclusive brand of boutique hospitality outside the metro. Opening by yearend is a Brittany Hotel right beside the Crossing Cafe along Daang Hari Road, Cavite. Its well-appointed rooms, upscale dining, and exquisite facilities will be a welcome addition to this progressive province.

 

Brittany also creates another kind of luxurious haven—one steeped in nature and tranquility. At Crosswinds Resort & Suites in Tagaytay for example, guests are offered an oasis of calm and rejuvenation amid lush pine forests and stunning sceneries from the uplands.

Incredible indulgences 

 

Brittany recognizes, too, that the essence of living with flair is often intertwined with amazing gastronomic experiences, incredible retail journeys and other lifestyle indulgences. 

 

Complementing Brittany developments are lifestyle complexes by Vista Malls. The Evia Lifestyle Center, Vista Mall Sta. Rosa and Vista Mall NOMO, for instance, are expansive destinations made even more luxurious by premium aesthetics and ambiance, innovative concepts, curated retail selections, and inviting spaces.

 

Within these malls too are epicurean delights that offer a sensory journey like no other. Cafes like the Crossing Cafe and Coffee Project Black add a touch of culinary artistry that instantly elevates your coffee routine. Unique dining concepts meanwhile satisfy cravings while  offering a sense of discovery.  

 

Other touches and details add to the luxuriousness of Brittany developments. Nearby event spaces like Palazzo Verde and a cafe like the Glass House further enhance the appeal, value, and overall lifestyle experience, while adding prestige to the community.

 

‘New center of gravity’

 

Such an enviable lifestyle also awaits in Metro Manila’s new center of gravity.

  

Spanning 15 towns and cities in Metro Manila and Cavite province, the 3,500-ha Villar City is poised to become a thriving nexus where economic, lifestyle, cultural, and leisure activities will converge. Soon to rise within the 15 satellite cities comprising Villar City are highly exclusive premier neighborhoods by Brittany, world-class hotels, tastefully adorned cafes and dining concepts, chic lifestyle hubs, and modern business districts, all set amid lush gardens and stunning verdant landscapes with a million trees.

 

There is no doubt that Villar City—soon to become home to the finest that The Brittany Collection can offer—is a fitting invitation for the affluent and well-traveled to experience an elevated lifestyle that redefines opulence in today’s times.

 

Indeed, with this synergy among the elements comprising The Brittany Collection, a life of luxury becomes truly complete, offering an immersive, fulfilling and enriching lifestyle that truly celebrates the finer things in life.
