KC Concepcion and Erwan Heussaff for the ASUS ZenBook 13 OLED and ASUS ZenBook Duo 14

Two Zenbooks got launched a few days ago from our friends over at ASUS. It was nice to see people actually using it for the right reasons, first was Erwan Heussaff who did so many things with the ASUS ZenBook Duo 14 and the other was gorgeous KC Concepcion for the ASUS ZenBook 13 OLED.

Erwan is a content creator, restaurateur and an entrepreneur. His day consists of so many things to work on and if he's going to have a buddy to be with him to finish things, the ASUS ZenBook Duo 14 was a good companion. It's got an 11th Gen Intel Core Processor, an NVIDIA MX450 and an Intel Iris X GPU, all of which accommodated his multi tasking lifestyle. The ASUS ZenBook Duo 14 has a 16 GB RAM which can put to work a second monitor (for dual touchscreen) so you can view and work on different projects at the same time. Aside from that, it's got a 1 TB PCIe 3.0 SSD so opening different programs from photo to video editing is a cinch. This time, the ScreenPad plus also adjusts with the Ergolift so you can see both displays clearly (7 degrees) and maintain good temperature for the whole laptop.

Aside from being an actress, KC Concepcion has several businesses on her belt including designing jewelry. In it, she has to be very meticulous and detailed oriented hence the need for accurate displays like the one on the ASUS ZenBook 13 OLED. The ASUS ZenBook 13 OLED has an FHD OLED Nanoedge display so she sees more of the things she's working on.  It also has an 11th Gen Intel Core Processor and an Intel Iris X GPU. The stunning display is an OLED FHD with 100% DCI-P3 Color Gamut so you only see detailed and true-to-life colors which KC appreciates when she needs to check gems. She feels this would also be good for those who are into editing content, design, production or any color critical work. The ASUS ZenBook 13 OLED also has 70% less harmful blue light so it would be less harmful for the eyes. People spend hours working on laptops these days and it could really hurt sometimes, blue light actually does that. ASUS ZenBook 13 OLED reproduces true blacks, so you get crisp looking images even on darkest settings, though you can still see the details because of the high contrast it gives. This is also very thin and light but didn't have to lessen ports so if you need to have it connected to other screens, projectors or devices, the ASUS ZenBook 13 OLED can still do that. Battery life is also phenomenal, it can last up to 13 hours without the need of plugging it to a wall.  

 

 

 

The ASUS ZenBook Duo 14, Intel® EVO variant with an 11th Generation Intel® Core™ i5 processor and Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics, 16GB Memory and 512GB SSD storage costs Php 79,995 while the one equipped with an 11th Generation Intel® Core™ i7 processor and NVIDIA® GeForce® MX450 Graphics with 16GB memory and 1TB SSD costs Php 99,995. The ASUS ZenBook 13 OLED on the other hand costs Php 59,995. If you want to know more about the two ZenBooks, you may visit http://bit.ly/ASUSZenBook13OLEDWTB or http://bit.ly/ASUSZenBookDuo14WTB.

Meeting MEGA for "SHARON My 40 Years"

All smiles, Ms. Sharon Cuneta

This is my first time seeing Ms. Sharon Gamboa Cuneta-Pangilinan in the flesh. 

Just like you, I have been a fan as far as I can remember. Her iconic movies, her variety shows, her hit songs and shows all made us feel just be so thankful for her existence. Rightfully so, she's been in the industry for 40 years.

Honestly, I was a little afraid of seeing her because - I'm just an ordinary person - and she - is an icon. I felt a little unworthy to talk or interview her because of her stature, her place in society, not to mention being a Senator's wife and Megastar. It's a title bestowed only to her, by the public for being a remarkable artist. I was invited to this event  through our friends from Philippine Airlines, and I wasn't that crazy to pass on the opportunity to see her. I sat at the back of the room keeping a low profile, almost incognito in between entertainment bloggers that I often am with in events. During this thanksgiving dinner, I planned to only ask a few questions if we had a chance to talk to her towards the end of the program they planned to do. That didn't happen quite as planned.

When it was announced that she was at the venue already, I thought most of the people in my table would've fainted by now. Ms. Sharon was ushered in and you know what she was doing? She was holding her phone up on her face and she was gamely taking Instagram videos live, glowing, smiling, sincerely happy seeing her most loyal Sharonians who evidently have been with her through the years. I was thinking of a stiff royal celebrity but was seeing an endearing, very spontaneous and charming woman. The way she talks, you could sense how much she's full of wisdom, learned and experienced over the years. She's someone that even if you know you had flaws, but she speaks in a manner that you would be convinced that she would still accept you wholeheartedly. I had this in my mind.

She stood in front of the stage and exchanged pleasantries with her fans, print, broadcast and online media. The funny host (her beloved standup comic) put everybody at ease and told us why we were there. 

Ms. Sharon is on her 40th year in showbusiness, and what better way to celebrate this achievement but by staging a concert called SHARON My 40 Years. For starters, she wants to give back to an industry that has been so good to her.

Her manager, friend and confidant Ms. Sandra Chavez

The SHARON My 40 Years Concert will happen on September 28 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. Tickets are available now on Ticketnet.com.ph or you can call 911 55 55. She dubs this her BIGGEST and HARDEST concert to date because you can expect a lot of production numbers to pay homage to her career. She tells us that things were not always good but in all those downfalls, she has learned a lot and would never regret any of it. Aside from that, she told us how proud she was for her daughter KC. She's armed her with all the things she can, she's out on her own in the battle called life. 

Here's our interview with the Megastar after the event.

About KC Concepcion and her wish for the people who love her: 



About plans to get The Sharon Cuneta Show seen on the concert itself




About her stint on the ABSCBN show YFSF Kids and Gary Valenciano



About her new online channels, and webisodes for Sharon on Youtube. Make sure you follow @sharoncunetanetwork on Instagram!




She is in her prime, but Frankie (her daughter) gets mad when she gets conscious about her weight. She tells us how she eats, and perhaps including some of it on the websiodes she's planning for her Youtube channel.




I personally asked her about why she put up The Sharon Cuneta Network and she said it was one way to get to connect with her fans in a direct way. She also shares what she thinks about her millennial fans, and her privacy. Check out our interview.



Her advise on how to handle money, and how to be happy? Simple, TRAVEL! She also shares her dream countries  and bucketlist!





Do you know why she loves bags? Here's why!





Here is Ms. Sharon Cuneta inviting you to watch the concert on September 28th at the Araneta Coliseum!

Ms. Sharon Cuneta also shared her blessings by hosting a raffle for the press and her fans. I felt my Dad had a hand in picking me as the winner, thank you so much Ms. Sharon!

I was too shy to do this but it happened. Thank you for the opportunity to get to know you even for a few hours Ms. Sharon Cuneta. You are loved by the people because you genuinely care for them, you check on their welfare and the sincerity encompasses everything. Rich, poor, LGBTQ or just about any joe, you have them at your back because you're just YOU, and we thank you for that.

 I'd like to end this bit with that saying that was shared by Ms. Sharon Cuneta. I researched and it came from Lt. General Sir Lord Stevenson Smith Baden Powell (the founder of scouting) who says "Try and leave this world a little better than when you found it, and when your turn comes to die, you can die happy in feeling that at any rate, you have not wasted your time, but have done your best."

 PS

Thank you for the prize, I promise to make people in my life happy with it. (check future webisodes or showbiz news to know what this means)

Please make sure you don't miss Ms. Sharon Cuneta's show on September 28 at the Araneta Coliseum and on August 3 8PM at the SMX Convention Center in Davao City's SM Lanang Premier.

Forever and a Day

It's Star Cinema's 18th Anniversary and as part of their celebration; it's a film that talks about eternal love... the perfect thing to come out with. Loving someone is easy; but if you go through realizations of death and tragedy, would you still want to go through with it?

It's so hard to answer that but for Sam Milby and KC Concepcion, they said a resounding YES! They had some of the most public relationships in the past and true enough if they see that it is TRUE LOVE they would still want to go through with it. This was the statement they made known last night at the Forever and a Day Press Conference at ABS CBN.

Imagine a movie where the daughter of the Superstar Nora Aunor, Matet De Leon meets the daughter of the Megastar Sharon Cuneta, KC Concepcion. Isn't that enough reason to watch it?

KC Concepcion and Sam Milby strut on the Red Carpet.

It was nice to see them proud of this project. Cathy Garcia Molina had to literally isolate them from each other because they talked too much while making the movie. Was the "plain friendship status" getting in the way of how they tried to show their relationship in the movie? Director Cathy said yes and that's part of the reason why she had to do that.

"The two had worked so hard for this movie. They have impressed even exceeded my expectations" said Director Cathy Molina. The script is all about how a person would go out of his comfort zone and try his shot on loving someone forever... even if he knew it would also end eventually. KC is so proud of this movie and said that this was one of the hardest things to do. She was happy to be part of this movie; and to work with blockbuster Director Cathy Garcia - Molina. Sam Milby said he was better in all aspects in this one too. Better command of Tagalog, better acting among other things.

If you want to fall in love and believe in it again... watch Forever and a Day which opens on over 100 theaters NATIONWIDE this June 15, 2011.

Forever And A Day will also be having an International Premiere with Sam Milby in New York City. That will be on June 25, 2011 at Tribeca Performing Arts. Screening times will be 11:30 am and 6:00 pm. For tickets inquiries please call 917 513 5266 / 914 346 9646. Please visit their Facebook account for announcements on the regular screenings. It will be available in North America, Canada and the Middle East.

My Weekend Of Sports, Tweets and Fashion

I just finished meeting with my bosses from the US. Yes it is the weekend so I have to take my days off. I wonder where I should go now. I am contemplating on going to MOA alone because of the SHONEN KNIFE concert at San Miguel by the Bay. Aside from that I think I promised to go to a basketball game with people from the Red Tribe. There is a COSSACK Cobra game and some of the people from the UE Red Warriors play in those teams too. I guess they are from PBL.

I have been tweeting a lot lately because I have been able to get my blackberry online. With Alexandra DeRossi and KC Concepcion replying to my tweets it is just incomparable on how exciting this part of my cyber life is evolving.

Aside from that, there is another event that caught my attention. The hallways of MOA will turn into catwalks as Japanese and Filipino fashion come alive with this sting:

Now you tell me... who can resist not to go to MOA on that day! =)
