Blog: http://michaelmacalos.com School: Far Eastern University, Philippines   Here are random questions I throw  unto him:

How did you started from scratch?

I started my blog, June of 2011 but I was not active that time and I don’t know what to blog and how I want my blog to be. I’m also having a hard time figuring out my niche that time because I want to blog so many things. Then a friend of mine suggested that why not to just make this blog a personal blog but it focuses on your adventures in fashion and also in your personal life. And at last  summer of 2012 I became active in my blog “post after post after post” and brands and pr’s started contacting me.

Fashion gives a certain amount of freedom to people and it allows them to be who they want to be.

How do you describe your style?

I call my fashion statement “unexpected” coz I want to entertain people through what I’m wearing. I really try my best not to stick with just one style. I always experiment and push myself to the limits.

Why Fashion?

I chose fashion as my niche because fashion is like an art, you can create and experiment out of it and also It’s like an extension of my personality. Fashion gives a certain amount of freedom to people and it allows them to be who they want to be.

I’m not really conscious with brands as long as it’s stylish and I feel comfortable wearing it.

How much does it really cost for an outfit?

I’m not really conscious with brands as long as it’s stylish and I feel comfortable wearing it. I can’t estimate my minimum and maximum budget because sometimes I overspend on clothes, like I just buy and buy and buy stuff I don’t need “now” but I know I’m gonna need it in the future.

The most expensive.. hmm… I spent around 8k for an outfit.

I am grateful for the opportunity to meet the bubbly and multitalented celebrity whom I only used to see on a local Sunday noontime show.

In an exclusive interview held at Dayrits Tomas Morato, Krista K talked about her experience competing for Miss International in China up to when she joined Julio Iglesias onstage during his 15-city world tour from 2010-2011.

Considering Iglesias as her mentor, Kleiner began writing her own songs while spending time on the plane with him travelling from one country to another, describing the experience as a state of bliss, feeling to be on top of the world, until such time she decided she wanted to have a song that convey those perfect moments.

Scheduled to leave for Malaysia to participate in a big musical event which will be joined by various well-known artists around the region, rumor has it that this stunner has been rapidly developing a huge fanbase in Malaysia since she launched her album there.

Now that she’s back in the Philippines to promote her album, she is also set to prepare for her upcoming collaboration with other International superstars AKON and Will.I.Am.

Her album, consisting of 14 all original songs which includes collaborations with Jay-R, KC Montero, Jimmy Muna and Qyork.

Tracklist:

• Feels So Good
• Put ‘em Up
• Seize the Day
• Magnetic Attraction (with Jay-R)
• Let Ya Go
• Beauty Queen
• The Party Never Ends (with QYork)
• We Like the Sound/I’m Social (with KC Montero and Jimmy Muna)
• Take You Away
• Stay The Night
• Bading Ka Ba Baby
• La La Love
• Kekembot
• Feels So Good REMIX

‘Feels So Good’ is her carrier single which debuted at #2 on Chart Central Philippines. It’s official music video has generated more than 1.3 million hits within two weeks since its initial posting.
She is now working on the music video of her second carrier single which will be released a few weeks from now.
You can buy Krista’s album in your favorite music stores nationwide.

But I am also online during work hours but all of my activities are pretty much work related, I only have a several times checking my Facebook and Twitter.

I have three sources of internet connection: A DSL at home, A LAN server at the office and a 3G connection on my smart phone.

Since most of my bandwidth consumption is when I upload photos and videos so I make sure I do all at home.

With these activities, I would want to have the fastest Internet connection. To become more productive I must have the fastest Internet provider that is good for daily browsing, unlimited downloads, and other online stuff.

Sky, the largest cable provider are currently offering 3 packages (Sky Broadband)

• Consumable
• Unlimited
• Ultra High Speed

To better explain my daily online activities here’s a list:

Majority of the internet bandwidth I consume is when I’m uploading photos and videos so I make sure to do all at home.

With these activities I would want to have the fastest internet connection. To become more productive I must have the fastest connection an internet provider can give. As fast as it can be used for daily browsing, unlimited downloads or an even faster connection.

So how does it fit my lifestyle?

Fast connection leads me to being productive with my work. If I will be going outside or I’m at work I can leave all the files that I’m downloading/uploading at home.

A friend of mine told me that with Sky Broadband, I can download up to 200Mbps and Upload up to 8Mbps.

But for me, I wish to have Sky Broadband Plan 5Mpbs 35GB because it’s perfect for our home. It gives me the perfect speed that I need for my browsing, streaming, and downloading. Especially, during the weekends because that’s the time I spend most of my day using the internet. Also, it’s good that you have the option to add 200 pesos to your plan and enjoy UNLIMITED 1.5mpbs in case your consumable runs out.

March 16 – Seven finalists battle out using their outstanding culinary skills and talents at the cook-off happened at the GalaStars Culinary Studio of renowned Chef Sylvia Reynoso Gala in Pasig City.

Man are made with a brave-heart….out of the 7 lucky finalists, Mark Justin Tee (the only male), an HRM graduate in UP Diliman bested 6 contenders: 4 housewives and 2 Culinary amateurs.

At start , he had a bad thing because his hands got hurt by the knife he was using. He needed to use a glove and that slow down his preparation.

He cooked the very famous Tinolang Manok paired with the very filipino Cucumber Tinapa Roll.

He was the last participant to finish everything. He never gave up.

“Huli man daw at magaling, maihahabol pa rin” Mark was very thankful to the judges who give them high scores during the judgement.

His total score was only a few points best than the second placer.

Yours truly got the chance to meet her and ask about her music background in the states and her venture in Philippine music industry.

THE WEB MAGAZINE: How were you discovered by Backroom?

Jayke: One day po I sang sa Food Republique and Tito Boy Abunda was there. I was introduced to him and later on I asked him if he can attend my birthday party.

I became very happy when he came and then I started singing to him po.

TWM: When you perform who chooses your songs?

Jayke: Usually my producer Arnold Reyes and sometimes my handler Dale Magdangal suggests. But being a backroom artist gusto ko may teamwork so I consult everything with them when it comes to the choice of songs.

When I perform naman sa mall shows gusto ko mga happy. It’s a mix of love songs in my album and happy songs.

When we were dining at Shakeys I noticed that Jayke never asked for a cold water or iced tea but requested for a hot tea instead. She is very careful when it comes to what she eats or drink.

TWM: How do you take extra care of your voice?

Jayke: I don’t eat chocolates, I don’t drink cold, I don’t eat ice cream and I don’t eat dairy before I sing.

Japan’s leading global fashion brand exhibited their latest collection
to definitely catch the attention of fashion-conscious Filipinos.

At the press preview, we were able to have a glimpse UNIQLO’s exciting collection of cool and fun Spring/Summer apparel.

The event was hosted by JM Rodriguez and graced by brand endorser Iza Calzado. Among the few models that I saw was Janina Chan of ABS CBN Star Magic.

With the consistent hot weather this past few days I would definitely like to have UNIQLO’s latest Spring/Summer Collection.

In a bloggers night held at the Centerstage KTV in Morato, Julie Anne performed a few songs that she personally like to sing and answered questions regarding how did she started her career and more.

The event was such a light and enjoying activity, it was purely a bonding time with promising star Julie Anne San Jose and there was no fast and hard rule. Majority of us did like her a lot because she was a very down to earth person.

If she will keep her good attitude she will surely have a seat in entertainment stardom. I can feel a bright future awaits in her career.

Q&A

TWM: Sino ang date mo sa Valentines?
Julie Anne: Wala po akong date sa Valentines. Papasok lang po ako sa school. Normal na araw lang.

TWM: Do you believe in the saying “Love never dies”
Julie Anne: Im not sure

TWM: Final Message?
Julie Anne: Sobrang saya ko lang po I hope to see you soon again.
