Kiel Alo : His Voice and his style will enchant you...

Kiel Alo 


Singers come and go...entertainers, musicians, performers, we have bunch of them! But some were given the right opportunity and others, they were underrated, while some, weren't given the proper exposure and right projects. I believe that, we, Filipinos have undoubtedly God-given gifts in singing, it's just that, each and every aspiring individual has his/ her own style and "attack," which they call it. Having said so, it all now depends on the right exposure, timing, packaging and of course, one must possess the "X factor" or the "it" thing that the majority's looking for. 

Why am I saying all these? Because, here's another genuine talent. A young man, named Kiel Alo, I labeled him as the "Male Adele," since he mostly sings international singer Adele's songs, that are a lot more difficult to sing, as we all know, compared to other artists' songs. But Kiel, has managed to do this. Another good thing about this young man, is that his repertoire is not limited, he has a wider range of genre. According to him, "Gusto ko pong makilala as a balladeer, OPM and international ballads. But as an artist po, I am willing to cater any kind of music kung kinakailangan po." 

Kiel, recalls being discovered by his manager Jobert Sucaldito. Before, he was working as an SMDC International agent, he was invited to a birthday party ang performed two songs, not knowing that Jobert was there too, he then asked Kiel to give showbiz a try like in recording but there's no promise.  And you know what, his first single will be released anytime this year. 

When asked about his musical influences, he also digs the likes of  Eric Bennet, John Legend, Luther Vanross, James Ingram, Martin Nievera, Gary V., Ogie Alcasid, and Ariel Rivera. If you wanna know, his celebrity crush/es, he readily answered, Julia Barretto, Arci Munoz and Bela Padilla. If given the chance, he also hopes to do a collaboration with popular singers like Morissette Amon, particularly with her song "Akin Ka Na Lang," then he also wishes to sing with Ms. Lea Salonga, Regine Velasquez and Jona. 

Seems that everything's getting into the right place at the right time for Kiel. He is now gonna have a back-to-back concert with Ezekiel, another promising talent of Jobert and it's entitled, "From K to Z," happening this Saturday, July 29, 2017 at the Musicbox in Timog cor. Quezon Ave. in Quezon City. Show atarts at 9PM. Guests would be Dessa, the Pink Mannequins and a lot more! He relates having sung at least ten songs a day as his training including his repertoire for the said concert. He is very positive about this concert and all their preparations since their manager, Jobert has trained them very well... to be at eased with their performances in every concert being produced by their manager. 

So what can we expect from him in his upcoming back-to-back concert with Ezekiel? "Ipapakita ko po 'yung creativity and versatility ko po as an artist. Dancing? Secret po," he answered. Hmmm, so definitely, we should really watch their show huh, he gave us reasons and something to look forward to. Just to add info, Kiel was present also in almost every concert of Michael Pangilinan being produced by Jobert, but this time, he won't be around since he must've other valid reason or maybe working on to something, nevertheless, Kiel fully understands his Kuya Khel (Michael). He says, "Pero alam po namin na kahit wala po s'ya, his support is with us." 



Here's a video invite from Kiel Alo for their concert, 
"From K to Z"

+

This fresh talent has a lot to say and be thankful to his manager and "Nanay," Jobert Sucaldito. "Para po kay Nanay Jobert, taos pusong pasasalamat sa patuloy na paniniwala at pagmamahal n'ya po sa akin bilang anak at alaga, Makakaasa po kayo na mas paghuhusayan ko pa po. Walang kahit na anong materyal na bagay ang maaaring makatumbas ng pagmamahal na binigay n'yo po sa akin at mahal na mahal ko po kayo," he shared.

Kiel's main goals for his career? "Gusto ko po for my music career ay makilala po ako sa buong Pilipinas at maging international artist, para ipakita sa ibang lahi ang galing ng Pinoy." 



Let's make a way for Kiel... I've seen him perform several times and I assure you he is worth-watching. His voice and his style will definitely put you to spell and enchant you so  and let's give him the chance to prove his craft now that the spotlight is on and poking at him. Best of luck Kiel! See you soon!

Getting ready for the monsoons with Midea Washing Machines


Dark clouds hovering over the sky have always been frowned upon by most people whenever they are doing their laundry. And with the monsoon season coming in, keeping clothes fresh and dry after laundry will definitely be a challenge. Nobody wants to go to work or school with their clothes still smelling as if it were just taken out of the tub. While there are some who go to the laundromat to get their clothes washed, this option costs as much as Php 40,000 a year— money that could have been saved for a really good washing machine.

While there are skeptics who find it hard to believe that modern washing machines have become more energy efficient and easier to use, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of appliances, Midea has been offering Filipino households with home solutions that could take their anxiety off from getting higher energy bills from using washing machines. And they have a lineup of washing machines that are easy to use, which could give everyone at home more time to spend each other’s company and bond over numerous activities.

Midea offers a fully automatic top load washing machine with a One Touch Wash Feature. With just a push of a button, it can wash, rinse, and spin dry clothes at just Php1 per wash load. It has smart sensors that only put the right amount of water in the tub, which also results to 37% in water savings. One very helpful tip though in washing clothes is to prioritize items that need to be washed as soon as possible, such as school or work uniforms, corporate attire, and underwear. Having a separate hamper for those items could also help lessen the time finding them through the laundry.



Midea’s Front Load Washer on the other hand, could save as much as 70% on water consumption for a complete wash, rinse, and dry cycle by using its Daily Wear setting. This could be paired with Midea’s Front Load Dryer, which could sit on top of the washer saving more space especially for condominium dwellers, and dry clothes as fast as 40 minutes at Php 10 in electrical consumption. This will keep clothes fresh for the rainy days without the need of hanging them in a clothesline. If one opts for more convenience, they could also get the iAdd Front Load Washing Machine which does all the dosing, saving more laundry products for use at a touch of a button.

For a more budget friendly option, Midea also offers their Single Tub Washing Machine that is also tough with ABS plastic lid and more energy efficient with their 20-cent energy consumption per wash load. With its multi-spoke pulsator, it is gentle on the clothes which makes it always fresh looking. A little help from fabric conditioners could make a big difference in hanging the clothes dry indoors. It doesn’t hurt to invest on an indoor rack, especially when the season brings in all the typhoons and heavy rains. Just make sure that the clothes are placed in a well-ventilated area at home to keep the unwanted smell away.

If a single tub is not enough, they could always go for the twin tub that does all the wash, rinse, and dry cycles. Its dual cleaning motion gets all the cleaning the clothes need with lesser tangles. It is energy efficient just costing “Piso” per wash load for the complete wash and spin cycle. With its Spin Air Dry Feature, Midea has made it possible to dry clothes faster and more efficient to prevent any unwanted smell from drying clothes indoors. It is also helpful to note that in spin drying clothes, it is better to fill the tub to its capacity than spin drying in small batches. With less spin cycles, the household could save more from their energy consumption while they are effectively drying most of their clothes.



With Midea’s lineup of washing machines that could provide cleaner and fresher clothes for everyday without having to worry about the weather and some of the tips that could help them get ready for the monsoon season, people could actually enjoy the confidence with their clothes whenever they go to work or school. And at the same time, families could actually enjoy more time together, even if it is their laundry day.

SOLABros.com band's gonna bring back the fun to OPM


Same Blood, Different Talents, All Music.  
We are the future, and nothing can stop us
Bringing FUN back to OPM

SOLABROS.com are brothers. Born and raised in the urban neighborhood of Mandaluyong City, Philippines, they are the children of multi-talented, multi awarded musician Jerome Abalos. Jerome  was the singer behind the monster hit song “Larawang Kupas.”  He was also the co-founder and front man of the 90s thrash metal band “Death By Stereo” and progressive rock band “Majesty.”
Jerome Abalos released 3 solo albums and 2 studio albums with his band.  Death by Stereo’s self titled debut album was certified gold record while his solo self-titled debut album featuring the monster hit song, LARAWANG KUPAS, was a certified platinum.


Nurtured by music from the moment they were conceived, Sean, Zack, and Shane grew up with the melodic sound of the keyboards, the ripping sound of heavy metal guitar solos, and the thunder-like beat of drums and percussions. Raised and mentored by a multi-talented, multi genre musical artist of a father and fueled by their mutual interest in rock and roll, heavy metal, progressive rock, and alternative rock, Solabros.com can be considered as one of the rising stars in the Philippines, be it local or in international music scene.  


Sean, Zachary and Shane  

The band was formed in 2015 by singer, songwriter, and keyboard player Sean Abalos and his younger brother, lead guitarist and singer Zachary Jeymz. From the moment Sean and Zack held their instruments and started playing, it was clear that they had a future in the local and international music scene.  The band was soon joined by the band’s drummer Shane Steven, the youngest of the Abalos brothers, who gave the band his powerful Lars Ulrich-like drumming style. “Initially, we just wanted to be a band,” recalled Sean. “But when Shane officially joined us and started making all those power beats and double basses, our paradigm shifted and our aspiration changed overnight. We now wanted, not just to be any band, we now wanted to be among the best bands locally and overseas.” 

Though with different personalities, Sean, Zack, and Shane’s talents blended and clicked. In 2016, Solabros.com joined their first “Battle of the Bands,” their first public appearance. Since then, the trio had regular gigs in several bars in Manila and Luzon.


Sean Francis Abalos

Sean Francis Abalos (vocals, keyboards) He is currently finishing his bachelor’s degree at Jose Rizal University in Mandaluyong City. After harnessing his God-given singing talent, Sean was trained on keyboards and has been loving his new skill ever since.


Zachary Jeymz Abalos

Zachary Jeymz Abalos (guitars, vocals) He was exposed to music at a very young age. He is a currently in junior high school. With the encouragement of his dad, Zack trained himself to play the guitar, starting with acoustic, he leveled up almost overnight and has since mastered the electric guitar. At only 16 years old, and only a year of playing, Zack has become a guitar phenom.  His skills were way beyond his years. 



Shane Steven Abalos 

Shane Steven Abalos (drums, vocals) the youngest of the Abalos brothers. At 14 years old, Shane is currently a freshman in high school. With his passion for drums and percussion, Shane was initially trained to play the drums by his father.  Shane focused with his training and has dramatically improved his drums and vocals skills. At only 14 years old and only a year of playing, Shane can now be considered a drummer par excellence.

Acer Philippines has created #TimeForUs campaign to connect generations together



 It's undeniably true and a clear fact that there really is an unspoken gap between the Gen X and the Millennials. On my part, I don't have qualms about the millennials and maybe a great contributing factor to it, is that I am a socially active person being a blogger and sometimes vlogger (newbie). 

It's very helpful since I belong to Gen X, I guess I also have and experiencing the best of both worlds as they say. And that's where the silent gap began... Technology and Attitude. The works and ways of the millennials were greatly and directly proportional to technology. As it advances, the ideals, common customs and right conduct also change. Their vision and dreams are more risky, vast, bold and transparent. They put more importance on the present time rather than dwell on the past and overthink the future. But nevertheless, I do understand them fully since I have a millennial son. :))

Anyway, enough of my thoughts :)) I just feel glad that amidst these issues Acer Philippines, the leading tech and innovations company, launches #TimeForUs, a movement that aims to narrow the divide between Gen Xers and millennials. Acer Philippines moves to bring two generations closer through technology, breaking down barriers built on misconceptions and misunderstandings. 



“At Acer, we believe that it’s time to focus on bridging the generation divide,” shares Sue Ong-Lim, Sales and Marketing Director of Acer Philippines. “It’s imperative that we see that, amidst the differences between Gen Xers and millennials, they are also a lot alike.”


Basti Artadi and Juan Miguel Severo 


Central to the campaign is the partnership between Acer Philippines and G-Shock, a sub-brand under Casio. G-Shock’s appeal has spanned both the Gen X and millennial generation, and continues to be popular among the youth today. 
Acer Philippines also called on rock musician Basti Artadi and spoken word artist Juan Miguel Severo, both artistic icons of their craft and time, to collaborate and develop “Time For Us” a musical-and-spoken word piece to drive the message of the campaign. Basti Artadi, vocalist of the award-winning rock band Wolfgang, rose to fame in the mid- to late-90s, making him a legend among those from Gen X. 

Meanwhile, Juan Miguel Severo popularized the art of spoken word poetry when “Ito Na Ang Huling Tula Na Isusulat Ko Para Sa’yo”, his original piece, made rounds on social media, making it viral among the millennials. The piece cemented the admiration of spoken word poetry as an art form, and since then, Juan Miguel Severo has become the face of the craft. 


“G-Shock is proud to be Acer’s partner in furthering this cause. With Basti Artadi and Juan Miguel Severo, we aspire to bring the Gen X and millennial generation together,” says Charlene Hung, Marketing Officer of Casio Philippines. “With their help, we are optimistic that we will ultimately be able to succeed.”

The #TimeForUs Launch Event
The #TimeForUs launch led by Acer Philippines was held at Yes Please in June. This modern bar at Bonifacio Global City was transformed into a nostalgic wonderland reminiscent of the 80s and 90s, but peppered with today’s technology, symbolic of the event’s cause – old school arcades paired with Acer’s latest laptops, music sets that shifted from old school beats to modern pop, and an overall aesthetic that brought out the best from both eras. 

As Acer Philippines formally announced its partnership with G-Shock, the powerhouse brands launched the #TimeForUs promo, where every purchase of qualifying Acer laptops entitles its buyers to a G-Shock watch, which they may claim in any of Acer’s service centers in Manila, Cebu, and Davao. 

The event also saw the debut of “Time For Us” - the musical-and-spoken word piece created by Basti Artadi and Juan Miguel Severo. Basti Artadi pumped up the crowd with his roaring voice as Juan Miguel Severo, representative of the millennials, spewed compelling words; together, they delivered a powerful performance which was symbolic of two generations uniting. The Time For Us music video is now live online – you may watch the compelling piece at the Acer Philippines Facebook Page.

“At the end of the campaign, both G-Shock and Acer Philippines want to have brought a better understanding of and between Gen Xers and millennials,” adds Hung. “We want these two generations to see the merits of working together.”
To learn more about Acer and #TimeForUs, you can visit www.acer.com.ph, follow @acerphils on Twitter, or visit the Acer Philippines Facebook page at www.facebook.com/AcerPH. Interested parties may also see flyers for more details on the G-Shock promo. 


Thanks heaps Acer Philippines and G-Shock for my awesome "Bumble Bee-ish" arm candy! More power!!

Donnalyn Bartolome, the Youtube sensation now endorses White Flower Embrocation

Donnalyn Bartolome 


YouTube and music senasation Donnalyn Bartolome endorses White Flower, continuing as the brand’s active ambassadress. “I’m so happy and grateful to be working with White Flower Embrocation, the No. 1 embrocation in the country. Over the past 90 years, White Flower has become a household name, bringing soothing relief to the many Filipinos. My grandmother and mother used it all the time, and so now, nakasanayan ko na rin gamitin palagi. It’s the most potent, effective and soothing liniment I’ve ever tried in my life And you know it’s true because it is patronized by many, even until today,” shares Donnalyn, the young star who rose to fame because of her adorable youtube video “Gwiyomi” and her smash hit, “Kakaibabe.” 

“What I love about White Flower is that it’s such a powerful handy tool, especially at work. It has become my trusted go-to for a soothing relief from headaches, colds, and stress. The potent formula has remained unchanged throughout the years, which is impressive! So White Flower has become a trusted friend by the many Filipinos of different generations,” shares Donnalyn. “That’s why I use it whenever I feel unwell. And I keep it handy with me wherever I go kasi you know na, with all the hectic schedules at work, I’m sure I’ll be reaching out for the nearest White Flower bottle I can find. White Flower is like my security blanket, I must say.” 

 “It’s been truly humbling to see how much White Flower Embrocation has become an integral part of the Filipinos’ everyday life, so much so that it has been passed on to the next generations since 1927.

5 Loaves & 2 Fish Restaurant in Don Antonio Heights


The name of the restaurant, 5 loaves and 2 fish was taken from a verse in the bible.  This reflects the couples, Dina and Anthony Miro’s deep faith as Christians. 

Ms. Dinah Grace M. Miro, one of the owners has been cooking for her family ever since.The primary product of the restaurant is the Lavosh, which was first introduced to the public in Mercato Central.  This homemade recipe of Dinah was able to land as one of the top choices in the Ultimate Taste Test in Mercato Central.  When she decided to open a cafe, she had two business names in mind when they decided to register, but both were taken already.  She prayed hard for inspiration and guidance.  And decided on a name that is bible-inspired, and at the same time, has a connection with "unleavened bread".Lavosh is a healthier alternative to chips and junk food and can be consumed as a snack. It comes in a variety of colors. A specific ingredient gives the lavosh its distinct color. ( pink lavash has beetroot, the orange one has carrots and the green one has spinach) The platter of lavosh comes with an array of interesting dips such as Pesto Brulee, Garlic Oil with Dulong, 
Chicken Liver Pate and Tomato Coriander Salsa. 



"Go Lokal" treat: Balayan Salad, Lengua Estofado and Tablea Cake

The restaurant recently launched a new treat for its customers, the Go Lokal. It offers three dishes that are very Filipino in taste and origin. The balayan salad, Lengua estofado, and the tablea cake. The Balayan salad has SALAD Lettuce, tomatoes with kesong puti, 
tinapa flakes, and pickled mangoes.The dressing’s primary ingredient is the balayan bagoong. The lengua estofado is thinly sliced ox tongue in a special sauce served on a bed of mashed potatoes. The table cake is a rich and decadent dessert. The tableasa are outsourced from Davao. 

The restaurant also serves an array of exciting and yummy cakes and cheesecakes, all of which are made by Dinah herself. The recipes are handed down from generation to generation.  The restaurant has an ongoing treat fro those with a sweet tooth, the Afternoon Treat. You’d be getting a slice of your favorite cake plus a cup of brewed coffee all for just 150 pesos.
