Updating our blog today with this news from the singer-songwriter Brian Gazmen as he awakens to the painful remains of a love that was in his latest single “Panaginip” released under ABS-CBN’s Star Pop label.

Brian—who completes Star Pop’s male vocal trio “Chill Guys” with Jose Vitug and Bryce Manzano—wrote, composed, produced, and arranged the pop/R&B track all on his own.

“Panaginip” thematically tackles a person’s bitter realization that a cherished relationship is now over. Despite its tragic premise, Brian said the song still hopes to send out a positive message about love.

“Although you’re not really sure who you will be spending your life with until you die, there will be a time that you’ll just feel it. It might not be right now, but that time will come,” he said.

“Panaginip” was listed in the “New Music Friday” playlist of Spotify Philippines. Prior to his newest release, the 21-year-old singer-actor has dropped the singles “Sinta” early this year and “Perfect as You” in 2020, which currently has almost 225,000 streams on Spotify.

Brian has also released the single “Ako Para Sa’yo,” which he recorded with “Chill Guys.” The group has also covered HIMIG 11th Edition’s 2nd Best Song “Kahit Na Masungit.”

Let go of a past love by coming to your senses and listening to Brian’s “Panaginip,” out now on ABS-CBN Star Music’s YouTube channel and on various digital music platforms. For more details, follow Star Pop on Facebook (www.facebook.com/starpopph) and on Twitter and Instagram (@starpopph).

Debt consolidation is one of the many solutions for people having multiple loans. It's not easy managing different loans, so debt consolidation is one of the best options to start solving your liability problems. It is not your expressway to get out of debt but the best road to lead you to debt-free.

So, what is debt consolidation? According to investopedia.com, debt consolidation is an "act of taking out a new loan to pay off other liabilities and consumer debts." So, to provide a simple description, an individual with multiple loans get a new loan as payment for the existing loans. It is like herding your sheep into the barn.

Some of the top loans that people use are personal loans, student loans, and car loans. These are considered fast solutions to your financial needs and augmentation to available finances, especially if having a financial crisis. It does help!

Personal loans are taken from credit cards and financing agencies. More and more people are grasping this opportunity because it's their best option. These are the temptations that brought two of this life's generations in the battle of who spends more. It is a temptation of spending more than what you can spend. According to Debt.org's study, Baby Boomers and Generation X have more spending habits than the other generations.

Student loans are probably a must for families. For students who want to continue their studies, student loans are the best option to send their kids, our kids, to college.

For Car Loans, vehicles are one of the best investments if you're working outside of the city.

Of course, like yin and yang, debts also have their negative side. Debts can sometimes put people in a difficult situation if not managed properly. An individual can lose belongings and have even more liabilities. Since debts are obligations, debtors should always take them seriously.

I think whatever generations, people will always experience debts or liabilities in life. Debts are the reason why companies offer financing aids. A financial solution to help in getting of this kind of problems.

So, how does this debt consolidation works? As to what I understand with DebtConsolidation.com, an individual can seek financing help from different institutions or those mortgage companies that offers interesting and helpful interest rate. Closing or paying off all other accounts and coordinating with one institution only. In this way, you don't have to move from one company to another in settling your obligations. You'll only coordinate with your preferred financing agency. In this way, you'll be able to avoid the hassle of forgetting loan payments.

You can always find the best company or institution for you to consolidate your debt. You can start it by inquiring with your banks. If you think you have that high credit rating, you can always try to negotiate with them. They might give you a more considerable interest rate to pay off your loans.

If your banks don't approve, you can still try to find different agencies or credit unions. Remember, your main goal is to be debt-free, and debt consolidation is one of the many ways.

 

Although printing has been around for centuries, quality reproduction stems from a variety of technological innovations that have come together to deliver today’s high-impact prints. Epson’s strongest advancements in this area include its PrecisionCore MicroTFP printhead and its UltraChrome inks.

Digital printing has enabled the transition from monochrome printing to high-quality color images. The technology for inkjet printing systems has improved dramatically over the past decade, and this is driving full-color printing to new heights. Today’s newest color printers typically use the CMYK color profile, and Epson’s SureColor SC-T5430M wireless printer is one such example.

Designed for technical, engineering, and business graphics, this high-speed device is ideal for blueprints, line drawings, and posters up to 36” wide. It features 2400x1200 dpi print quality and a very competitive price point.

The ongoing proliferation of color inkjet technologies from a wide range of vendors has contributed to the success of suppliers in this segment. Advancements in image quality, color capabilities, and ink technology in technical aqueous devices combined with an ever-growing variety of media have enabled users to produce a wider range of applications.

According to Keypoint Intelligence – InfoTrends’ most recent forecast for wide format technical printers, an estimated 353 million m2 will be produced in the Asia-Pacific region by 2023. This output consists of two primary technical aqueous print applications—CAD for engineering/presentation graphics and GIS for maps. CAD represents an estimated 70% of the volume while GIS printing accounts for about 25%. The remaining 5% includes graphics applications like presentation posters and banners.

While only accounting for a small share of the market, graphics printing opens up some interesting application opportunities that were previously unattainable from a technical printer. The sheet-fed capabilities of smaller devices like Epson’s 24” SureColor SC-T3130X are now used with For Placement Only (FPO) proofing, poster prints, indoor signage, and small Point-of-purchase (POP) graphics in the SOHO environment. Meanwhile, larger roll-fed devices like EPSON’s 36” SureColor SC-T5430M and 44” SC-T7270D are capable of producing larger POP displays and indoor signage. Epson offers a full range of technical printers that can accommodate the needs of home/small offices up through enterprises.

The forecast for Asia-Pacific also indicates that the installed base of 100,000 units in 2018 is expected to grow by 4.3% through 2023. Although most output is produced digitally, this massive installed base indicates that print is still the preferred mechanism for presenting technical and GIS documents. Although some of this print work is handled by in-house or print-for-pay reprographic print facilities, many engineers and architects are investing in technologies that enable them to print high-resolution color drawings in real time.

Epson’s ongoing investments in its product line offer many user-friendly solutions to engineers, architects, and cartographers. The SureColor T-series printers are small footprint devices with full front operation capabilities that make them ideal for placement in the corner of any office. Designed for convenience, the auto switch function enables a seamless transition between roll and cut sheet paper. Additionally, the T-series printers can print and cut printouts without dropping them until they are ready to be collected.

Advancements in secure digital technology continue to occur, fueling the opportunity to print a widening array of technical graphics on a variety of media from a single device. Accommodating print widths from 24” to 44”, Epson’s T-Series line of printers addresses end-users’ needs for fast printing, high resolution, and vivid colors—all without compromising quality!

I actually heard of Fern-C but haven't heard about Fern-D, This was actually my first time to read about Fern-D. It's great that there's this vitamin that would actually give you what you need from the sun. We should be having this since the pandemic started most of us are confined inside of our houses. Good for those who have gardens but too bad for those who only stay in the four corners of their home. 

This August, Australian artist-producer Dru Chen will be dropping a 4-track EP containing 2 new tracks – ‘Our Story’ and ‘Hold You,’ and 2 re-released tracks – ‘Eiffel Tower’ and ‘Replay.’ The focus track, ‘Our Story,’ is an indie-pop song dealing with all facets of the human experience and the yearning for acceptance that we all seek. As Dru aptly puts it, “When the people have gone and left the party, and you’re all alone once again; how do you cope with the emptiness?”

At first listen, the track’s production portrays a kind of quiet joy - one that you feel when hanging out with friends you've known for years. With its cascading rhythm and sweet guitar chords, it’s difficult not to find yourself doing the signature TikTok hand-to-chest, head nod routine. However, when you give the lyrics a closer listen, we hear a deeper meaning - one about solitude and the introspection that comes along with it.

‘Our Story’ was written by Joel Tan, Paul McMurray and Dru Chen, and produced by the artist himself. As shown in this verse, “Drowning in sorrows / Is not for tomorrow / When laughter is borrowed / It’s no fun at all”, ‘Our Story’ is the answer to the truth and hurt you're seeking to overcome. With patience and understanding for the self, it is possible for us to reset on the mistakes we’ve made in the past. We can’t make sense of our breakdowns, but we can slow it down, let it ride and come back to ourselves.

“This song was my way of dealing with that feeling—that existential dread. It felt like therapy writing this song,” shares Dru, and we hear that clearly in the production. The distinct guitar chords and subtle percussion that punch through the hook helps listeners absorb the subject matter in a light-hearted way. It makes you feel like even when you're in your bedroom alone with the headphones on, you feel safe knowing you have the unconditional love and acceptance of your family, friends and community close to your heart.

One of the phrases in our organization is somewhat similar to the campaign of Sanofi, SAVE ME and SELF CARE. It's like this how can you save or care for others if you yourself don't even want to save or care for it. So, I can say that it is similar. 

Seattle or The Emerald City is one of the affordable cities to live in, but of course, this depends on where you're basing it. Compared to other cities in the US, living in Seattle is affordable, particularly for families searching for a place to settle.

Also, if you're a coffee-lover, it would be great to know that this is the home of the first Starbucks. So, the smell of freshly brewed coffee in the morning can sure liven your day.

Anyway, we all know that starting life in a big city like Seattle would entail a starting capital. So, it's much better to begin your life by simply renting first. In this way, you get to adjust yourself to the city and your spending habit.

To help you search for Seattle's affordable rents, here are some of the tips I can share with you.

1. Decide where to settle first. Try to find out first where or what part of Seattle you want or intend to live. It applies to wherever you want to live. The good thing with today's technology is that there are websites to check about a specific area. For this instance, it's Seattle. If you want to know details about Seattle, check it here at www.seattle.gov or visit seattle.org.

2. Research online, it's faster. Just consider different aspects when searching for your dream location, like proximity to the workplace, to school if you have kids and other necessities. A website like Zumper gives you a more detailed listing. All you need to do is have an account with Zumper so you can immediately find a listing that matches your needs. According to Zumper, there are more renters than household owners, with an average of 53% for the renters-occupied households while the owner-occupied houses are about 47%. It only shows that the rents on this place are in demand. You will have a hard time locating one that will matter to you.

3. Scout on foot. Though driving is much faster and convenient, a walk in the neighborhood can still give you more advantages of finding your house for rent. Sometimes the best places are not easy to find, so you have to put some effort into checking all parts of the neighborhood. Plus, you get to vibe the community if it feels right in settling on that specific neighborhood.

4. Always think about your family's needs. So, if you're searching for a house or a condo, always prioritize the safety of your family. Always find a unit that will suit your family size. You can also include in your consideration if someone in the family has particular needs.5

5. Immediately get in touch with the owner. By simply expressing your intention to rent the place will give you an edge in closing the deal. Yes, there are 1,305 apartments for rent in Seattle, with a median rent of $1,595.00, which only means an abundance of places for rent, but having a perfect apartment for your family, you'll need to be fast.

I hope these bits of information may help in your hunt, but some figures vary from time to time, so always check out the listings in Seattle to be updated.
