Yolanda-affected entrepreneur rises, now earns P100 - 300k through online business

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Who would have thought that supertyphoon Yolanda, one of the strongest typhoons on record that lashed central Philippines, would push an entrepreneur to rise from the ashes and rebuild her business?<br /><br />In November 2013, The Purpektion Shop owner Vanessa Tinitigan lost almost all of her products due to the flood brought about by the super typhoon. Aside from losing money, Vanessa also lost the trust of some of her clients who didn’t get to receive their orders.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh83jBPnbIJ0dvVpOkL3mp1hPtzzvQq6blKAdigyJqS8jFzPDI6XOKd94wk1LfUGQByYWLebnjWUw1mf6V5TKOj8V77DJUAiO7NqF9fEKZwgi6rflyXWVdBN_S1uEdxQfD-VQMLw5qqojqv/s1600/yolanda-entrepreneur.jpg" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Vanessa Tinitigan Yolanda entrepreneur" border="0" class="img" data-original-height="345" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh83jBPnbIJ0dvVpOkL3mp1hPtzzvQq6blKAdigyJqS8jFzPDI6XOKd94wk1LfUGQByYWLebnjWUw1mf6V5TKOj8V77DJUAiO7NqF9fEKZwgi6rflyXWVdBN_S1uEdxQfD-VQMLw5qqojqv/s1600/yolanda-entrepreneur.jpg" title="Vanessa Tinitigan Yolanda entrepreneur" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">PHOTO CREDIT: YouTube/Shopee Philippines</td></tr></tbody></table>This incident prompted her to close down her bazaar and Facebook business and search for greener pastures.<br /><br />In the hopes of starting over again, Vanessa decided to work abroad. However, things didn’t seem to work out so she eventually decided to come home. Little did she know that she was destined for something greater in the Philippines.<br /><br /><i>“Pero umuwi po ako noon as in wala akong kita. So ang nangyari po noon, yung natitira kong stocks na hindi ko maibenta sa bang platform ipinost ko po siya sa Shopee,” </i>Vanessa told ABS-CBN’s My Puhunan.<br /><div id="unruly-unit"></div><br />In a matter of 24 hours, buyers took interest in her products. This gave Vanessa enough courage to give business a second chance. However, she concentrated on online business particularly the Shopee platform this time.<br /><br /><i>"Inipon ko po 'yong pera. Araw-araw namimili ako kasi para mapaikot ko siya nang mabilis. Tapos after a month po, na-award-an po ako ng 'Shopee Seller of the month’, </i>Vanessa happily revealed.<br /><br />Vanessa even took advantage of her experience in her failed venture abroad to make her business grow. <br /><i><br /></i> <i>“From that time po, nag-research po ako kasi, no'ng nabigo po ako sa abroad, sa skin care po iyon, sabi ko gusto kong magkaroon ng sarili kong skin care brand, saka po para ma-cater sa mga tao yung mura, affordable,”</i> Vanessa said.<br /><br />From earning P20,000 to P50,000, Vanessa now makes P100,000 to P300,000 a month. In the future, Vanessa wants her brand to be recognized internationally. <br /><br />Towards the end of her interview, she encouraged millennials to take risk, overcome their fears and dream big.<br /><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">"Normal lang pong matakot. Hindi ka po nangangarap nang malaki kung di ka po natatakot. Ang sa 'kin po, sipag lang po talaga at saka tiyaga. Kasi po ako nag-start po ako nang walang puhunan, kung di 'yong sipag at tiyaga lang po. Eventually po, everything will fall into place,” Vanessa added. </blockquote><br /><center><div class="video-wrapper"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/cr8GvxXAtTU" width="100%"></iframe> </div></center><br /><b>-- Mini, The Summit Express</b></div>

‘Love You To The Stars And Back’ Movie Review: ‘Joshlia’ Proves To Be More Than Just Another Love Team

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><i>*Minor Spoilers Ahead*</i><br /><br />Feeding off of the currently popular Young Adult genre in various media formats, director Antoinette Jadaone has come out with “Love You To The Stars And Back” starring the country’s possibly most underrated love team - Julia Barretto and Joshua Garcia. The main narrative of the film, which takes place in just a matter of days, takes on the fateful meeting and immediate bond between Caloy (Garcia) -  a leukemia-stricken but still jolly normal guy and Mika (Barretto) - a full of hang-ups girl who genuinely wants to be taken by aliens. <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5FUeGCXTZRKkG_ELW-6SUc1UJSr3yxk8QFdSNZDSvlnd4_OjBNayVrh8jvrl1sSTaq3pnkD5rfQOtKJnZ_anvIYtgOEw3y3XxEUn3zn_wBrKlVR8SfQfHKGX-oFluJqy8pvCSy_e47_vG/s1600/joshlia-love-you-stas-back.jpg" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="‘Love You To The Stars And Back’ Movie Review: ‘Joshlia’" border="0" class="img" data-original-height="420" data-original-width="829" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5FUeGCXTZRKkG_ELW-6SUc1UJSr3yxk8QFdSNZDSvlnd4_OjBNayVrh8jvrl1sSTaq3pnkD5rfQOtKJnZ_anvIYtgOEw3y3XxEUn3zn_wBrKlVR8SfQfHKGX-oFluJqy8pvCSy_e47_vG/s1600/joshlia-love-you-stas-back.jpg" title="‘Love You To The Stars And Back’ Movie Review: ‘Joshlia’" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Joshua Garcia as Caloy and Julia Barretto as Mika in ‘Love You To The Stars And Back’/Star Cinema</td></tr></tbody></table>Admittedly, the premise sounds a bit odd as it borderlines a trippy thriller, but the film surprisingly banked a whole lot on its characters which is a great thing especially for closed-off, focused stories like “Love You To The Stars And Back.”<br /><br />Jadaone was able to find a way to make their personal journeys, both individually and together that the supernatural aspect of the film takes a back seat -- a good and a bad way, depending on people’s perspectives.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6cOvowvb2CpIQhsH1VBm7tTaMP36QRYenff7UO8OSMIxDAMv19BpZ8ZJSH205grdFnO-q5ZggEwF-SUADJvq6Q6JO13asS4d79-c7OK16RWr_u9xoUxdNuj7jUDe34xqoOU59Z4uKcbo4/s1600/joshua-julia-love-you-stars.JPG" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="‘Love You To The Stars And Back’ Movie Review: ‘Joshlia’" border="0" class="img" data-original-height="332" data-original-width="733" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6cOvowvb2CpIQhsH1VBm7tTaMP36QRYenff7UO8OSMIxDAMv19BpZ8ZJSH205grdFnO-q5ZggEwF-SUADJvq6Q6JO13asS4d79-c7OK16RWr_u9xoUxdNuj7jUDe34xqoOU59Z4uKcbo4/s1600/joshua-julia-love-you-stars.JPG" title="‘Love You To The Stars And Back’ Movie Review: ‘Joshlia’" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Julia Barretto as Mika and Joshua Garcia as Caloy in ‘Love You To The Stars And Back’/Star Cinema</td></tr></tbody></table>While both Caloy and Mika gets their respective due in the film, the former arguably got a more fleshed out character than the latter. The cheerful commoner had his backstory crafted pretty decent that viewers were immediately invested on him, his family and his ultimate fate from the get-go. That said, the compromise to have Mika’s own life story only briefly glossed over but keep her search of aliens a recurring theme and at times, even a teased end game kept her in the loop and not relegated to just a supporting role. After all, “Love You To The Stars And Back” is supposedly about the story of two people.<br /><div id="unruly-unit"></div><br />However, the one thing that arguably stood out in this Star Cinema piece is the performance of Barretto and Garcia. Both young actors brought out their A-game which is furthered by their innate chemistry with each other. Boxed up in a car in majority of the film could have easily downgraded the actors’ ability to evoke “the feels” as their bodies were restricted, hence depending on their facial features to express their respective characters’ emotions at that point in time. <br /><br />If there are any doubts about Barretto’s acting chops and dubbed being nothing as a pretty face, her execution in “Love You To The Stars And Back” effectively squashed them. The project is a testament of her range - from comical to downright hysterical, she delivers every line with clarity and raw emotion and without missing a beat. Garcia, on the other hand, proves that the age of John Lloyd Cruz and Piolo Pascual is still very much alive with him being the next iteration of a celebrity which is first and foremost known because of his abilities in front of the camera instead of being just an angsty and gimmicky personality. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtpLIR3u5E6Ayrp4vhNNIcN6vYlH1OKSzP5lLWDtUqhv1qgjLSFxqJ716x7AUH85mrTx3EwSG18aW5p68FVfu0R6LINqrmTcbbjS44glwsc1gKXeBNOitaV8K5pvWCxO_tEI2HrGsNudrU/s1600/love-you-stars-back.jpg" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="‘Love You To The Stars And Back’ Movie Review: ‘Joshlia’" border="0" class="img" data-original-height="315" data-original-width="828" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtpLIR3u5E6Ayrp4vhNNIcN6vYlH1OKSzP5lLWDtUqhv1qgjLSFxqJ716x7AUH85mrTx3EwSG18aW5p68FVfu0R6LINqrmTcbbjS44glwsc1gKXeBNOitaV8K5pvWCxO_tEI2HrGsNudrU/s1600/love-you-stars-back.jpg" title="‘Love You To The Stars And Back’ Movie Review: ‘Joshlia’" /></a></div><br />Minor gripes on the film, as previously mentioned is it being sold as a supernatural infused love story, but the film could have worked alright, if not better without the name dropping of aliens. Although to be fair, it resulted to a few chuckles, especially with the absurd chant Mika made on her own. Further, there were some parts in the first and second acts where the camera got a little bit too shaky. Whether those were intentional or not to drive the thriller/fantastical aspect of the movie, they were a bit jarring.<br /><br />Overall, “Love You To The Stars And Back” is a formulaic Star Cinema film - satisfying and massively appealing. But it’s greatness lies in the performance of Barretto and Garcia. If anything, these two should be getting way more hype and interest than they currently have right now as they are more likely to last in the business - whether together as a love team or individually as actors. <br /><br />Watch the official trailer:<br /><br /><center><div style="height: 0; padding-bottom: 56.21%; position: relative;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/aoWCjGOuw1k?ecver=2" style="height: 100%; left: 0; position: absolute; width: 100%;" width="641"></iframe></div></center><br /><b>-- ALD, The Summit Express</b></div>

Chan’s most popular single has become a staple during Christmas season that it has been played in different generations of music players including radios, cassette players, karaokes, cd players, MP3 players as well as Spotify playlists for more than two decades.<br /><br />But unknown to many, Chan’s popular Christmas song was supposed to be sang by world-renowned singer Lea Salonga. Unfortunately, Salonga’s recording company didn’t allow her to cross over to another label.<br /><br />Chan, who was tasked to perform the song, then asked former Miss Saigon star Monique Wilson to do a duet with him. Wilson, at the time they were supposed to record the song, suddenly lost her voice. This has left Chan no choice but to sing the song with his 19-year-old daughter, Liza.<br /><br />A few hours before September begins, Chan has started trending online for an obvious reason.

VIRAL POST: Man who married single mom with two kids earns praises

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">In the Philippines, single moms often get judged for having a child out of wedlock or a failed relationship. Some men even hesitate to have a serious relationship or even marry them because of the stigma. Many fail to recognize the hardships and struggles that they face in single-handedly raising their children.<br /><br />Kimark Futalan, a man who married a single mom with two kids, has decided to share their love story in order to break misconceptions about single moms. His inspiring Facebook post on Proud Bisaya has quickly gone viral and earned praises from netizens. <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKnMcR_77yYLOD9zCcH7HWMBmCQtbtNxU4EFjXNKsS_yiW3bOBDaJsE59ZUuGl0pzE8EK3jsLVRxR75mR8X8xExWbKUqGPbunzB7DSnL-oz40QdCKW0C5x1x7_-KH6mXxzBuPjQ8R4HmJI/s1600/man-marries-single-mom.jpg" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Man who married single mom with two kids earns praises" border="0" class="img" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKnMcR_77yYLOD9zCcH7HWMBmCQtbtNxU4EFjXNKsS_yiW3bOBDaJsE59ZUuGl0pzE8EK3jsLVRxR75mR8X8xExWbKUqGPbunzB7DSnL-oz40QdCKW0C5x1x7_-KH6mXxzBuPjQ8R4HmJI/s1600/man-marries-single-mom.jpg" title="Man who married single mom with two kids earns praises" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>PHOTO CREDIT: Facebook/Proud Bisaya</i></td></tr></tbody></table>Futalan, who recently tied the knot with Sofhia Angela “Angel” Tido Garcia, revealed they got to know each other through Facebook. Although Angel already have two kids with another man, Futalan said he truly accepts and loves Angel and her kids.<br /><div id="unruly-unit"></div><br />Initially, they were on a long-distance relationship for a year as Angel was working as an OFW in Saudi Arabia. Before he could personally meet Angel, Futalan already took the opportunity to get to know Angel’s family as well as her kids. He even promised Angel’s father that he will marry his daughter.<br /><br />When Angel finally returned to the Philippines, they decided to live together until they finally got married.<br /><br />In his post, Futalan urged men to love and fully accept single mothers.<br /><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">“Nais kong sabihin sa inyo, pag nagmahal tayo matuto tayong tumanggap, kung ano at sino sya. Hindi rin porket single mother ay huhusgahan natin sila, Sila yung mga babaeng matatag, mga babaeng kahit nagkaruon ng hindi magandang nakaraan ay pilit na tinataguyod ang kanilang anak.”</blockquote><br />Contrary to popular, Futalan said it’s not really difficult to love a child who isn’t yours. According to Futalan, these kids shouldn’t stop you from loving and marrying single moms. <br /><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">“Sa aking karanasan, Napatunayan ko na hindi mahalaga kung kadugo mo yung bata, Hindi mahalaga yung pang huhusga ng ibang tao, basta malinis at totoo ang hangarin mo wala kang pakealam sa sasabihin ng iba. Ang mahalaga masaya kayo, nagkakaunawaan, nagdadamayan at nagrerespetuhan,” Futalan wrote. </blockquote><br /><center><iframe allowtransparency="“true”" frameborder="0" height="727" scrolling="no" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FproudbisayaORIGINAL%2Fposts%2F439306969798671&width=500" style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" width="500"></iframe></center><br /><b>-- Mini, The Summit Express</b></div>

Instagram posts can diagnose depression better than doctors

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Your Instagram posts speaks a lot about you, including your mental health state.<br /><br />That’s according to a study published in the journal EPJ Data Science. A pair of researchers from the University of Vermont and Harvard University discovered that an algorithm tagging a few signs of depression in users' Instagram post can diagnose depression better than doctors. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHlAtekf2frVYnr_ipLNY0O5dczRpWZQB_ysCJmTbq0KENn1KyUZkCIqWWoG0A7uC7lKmI0R-mS_siDWCtQhG_TE7H8qADqU0bkFwr6YJf_NbXc1YxBFZvyrKPVfQ23SC3mmhlRRtd_LmQ/s1600/instagram-depression.jpg" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Instagram posts can diagnose depression" border="0" class="img" data-original-height="423" data-original-width="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHlAtekf2frVYnr_ipLNY0O5dczRpWZQB_ysCJmTbq0KENn1KyUZkCIqWWoG0A7uC7lKmI0R-mS_siDWCtQhG_TE7H8qADqU0bkFwr6YJf_NbXc1YxBFZvyrKPVfQ23SC3mmhlRRtd_LmQ/s1600/instagram-depression.jpg" title="Instagram posts can diagnose depression" /></a></div><br />To arrive at this conclusion, Chris Danforth and Andrew Reece observed almost 44,000 images posted by 166 study participants. Of the 166 individuals, 71 had previously been diagnosed with depression.<br /><br />Through markers such as the tendency of depressed people to show less evidence of social activity as well as preference for grayer and darker colors, the research team came up with a tool that analyzed the posts and identified depression.<br /><div id="unruly-unit"></div><br />Results showed that depressed people before and after diagnosis tend to post blue, gray or dark tones compared to healthy people. They also discovered that people with depression are actually more likely to post photos with faces contrary to previous assumptions by researchers. However, these images with faces have less people in it compared to posts by healthy people. It was not revealed whether depressed people post more selfies.<br /><br />In terms of use of filter, people with depression were less likely to use filters in their posts. But when they choose to use one, they tend to pick Inkwell, a filter that turns photos into black and white. Interestingly, healthy people prefer the Valencia filter, which gives photos a sun-kissed look. <br /><br />Compared to doctors who accurately identified depression only 42% of the time, the tool could accurately diagnose depression 70% of the time. <br /><br />Researchers are hoping that their study would pave way in diagnosing mental conditions and spotting mental illnesses through artificial intelligence.<br /><br /><b>-- Mini, The Summit Express</b></div>
