Aljur Abrenica Says "Come and Get Me"

Aljur has indeed come a long way from being a simple guy joining a reality show, and now as a established Kapuso and is venturing into the music scene. This GMA Artist Center prime artist returns to the concert scene this November 7, 2013 at the Music Museum. This will also mark the road to his upcoming album that will be produced by MCA Music. Dubbed as "Come And Get Me", supporters of Aljur are in for a special treat as he is expected to perform tracks and medleys that he personally chose.

Unknown to many, Aljur says that he is really a singer even before showbiz, having a band back then was one of his passions and then came stardom. One of the songs he will perform is a composition of his father. This will also be his first concert where he is joined by his brother Vin who won in a star search in TV5. 

FASHIONISTA: Street Action with Converse CONS KA-II

Converse CONS KA-II is the streets that offer
infinite possibilities of adventure.

In the urban jungle that is the city, it is the streets where most of activities transpire, not within the sedate buildings and structures that flank them. From London to Hong Kong, from Manhattan to Manila, one can feel the distinct, pulsating energy as people negotiate the streets, avoiding collisions, taking in the scene, or rushing toward their destinations.

For artists and creative instigators, the street is an inexhaustible source of inspiration, with its graffiti, geometric lines and ever-present denizens asserting their own individuality through fashion and other forms of visual expression. For skateboarders and bicycle enthusiasts, the streets offer infinite possibilities of adventure.

MUSIC LYF: Union J

IS there room for another boyband? 900,000 Twitter followers certainly think so.

Like some of their pop counterparts, Union-J were brought together by the X-Factor. Jaymi Hensley, Josh Cuthbert, and JJ Hamblett were Triple J before the show made the brilliant decision to add George Shelley, giving us Union J. They proved to the UK whilst being on the show they have the aesthetics and attributes of a boy band – but now it’s time for them to start being one.

Since reaching X-Factor's semi-finals, it has been non-stop for the boys. Two months away from releasing their debut single, the hype for them is evident as they’ve just signed a major book deal with Penguin. But little more than a year ago, their lives were all very different.

Jamie ‘JJ’ Hamblett's lifelong ambition was always to be a jockey before his path took a different turn. He used to spend his days grooming and riding horses near his home in Newmarket before his big break. "It was a very different life,” admitted JJ. "I got up about 6.30am, went straight to the horses and out riding on the heath. I’ve always been brought up around horses and never knew anything else until now.

HEALTHY LYF: Dengue Tops Moms Most Feared Diseases

Together with the common flu, typhoid, hepatitis, among others, dengue is up there in the list as one of the most dreaded diseases that moms worry their kids may contract. Unlike the other illnesses mentioned, dengue doesn’t have a vaccine that can provide immediate protection.

Prevalent in tropical countries such as the Philippines, dengue affects people differently. While others may stop at having flu-like symptoms such as high fever and muscle-and-joint pains and rash, others suffer life-threatening complications. A few succumb to Dengue Shock Syndrome, in which the patient’s white blood cells drop to a dangerous level, leading to internal bleeding. In some of these cases, dengue becomes fatal.

While it is true that all people, regardless of age, can be infected with dengue, statistics from the Department of Health’s National Epidemiology Center show that it is children and adolescents who are hit the hardest. Almost half of the dengue cases last year were from 5 to 14 years old age range.
