Hamilo Coast fosters New Open Living with Sola at Pico De Loro Cove

Artist’s Illustration. Sola, developed by Costa Del Hamilo Inc.
(CDHI), is redefining primary living in the new normal:
 its gated 2.7-hectare enclave offers the prospect of living
 with nature while within arm’s reach of modern conveniences.

If there was a silver lining to this pandemic, it would be people realizing that there is more to life than what was previously dreamt of in their work-life philosophy — intruded upon by nightmare phrases such as “cramped cubicles,” “daily commute,” and “corporate rat race.”

When most of us had to adjust to working remotely, attending on-line classes, and managing day-to-day activities at home during a strict lockdown, it made us aware how spending more time with family and taking care of our health are crucial in overcoming the current situation. The need to reassess our lifestyle and admit the urgency of stepping back, taking stock, and taking a breather arose.

David Chua Shares Oppa-Style Skincare Tips

For most celebrities, skincare is of vital importance. After all, in an industry where looks mean everything, the slightest blemish or the faintest trace of imperfections on a star's face could spell instant disaster, and could even ruin a potentially lucrative showbiz career.

This is the reason why most of them put such a high premium on skincare, aside from making sure they exercise regularly and adopt good eating habits.

Local showbiz's favorite oppa David Chua has leveled up his skincare game. His daily grooming regimen has changed drastically compared to his early days in showbiz, when he wasn't as fussy about his appearance--or probably just didn't know better.

He recalls, "Since I started in showbiz when I was 15, I had my share of zits, which was a natural for any guy going through puberty. Of course, back then, there was always a tendency to party hard, so all those late night drinking sprees didn't do anything good for me."

"It was only when my management brought me to a real skincare clinic when I became aware of the wonders that science could do to keep our skin looking fresh and supple every time."

Evann McIntosh Announces New Album Character Development

Rising 17-year-old singer-songwriter Evann McIntosh (they/them) announces their new album ‘Character Development’ out August 27th via Mom+Pop Music. 

Written and recorded primarily in the breakout star’s suburban Kansas bedroom, the 13-track collection mixes dark alt-pop and dreamy R&B with streaks of hip-hop, jazz, and funk, calling to mind everything from Prince to Billie Eilish as it grapples with growth and evolution, gender identity and sexuality, freedom and self-expression. The album is a work of pure intimacy, a poignant and revealing portrait of modern adolescence from an artist unraveling the mysteries of their psyche one song at a time.  

“This record is all about growth and change,” Evann explains. “I’m always evolving, and this album is the sound of that transformation, of one version of myself giving way to the next.”
