Great news to all KaToto movie fanatics out there! I'm sharing this interesting information about a Filipino-made independent horror/ action film created by award-winning writer and director  Pinoy filmmaker Vincent Soberano. The movie will have its US theatrical release starting October 22, 2021 in ten major cities. 

Toys for the big boys, unfortunately, these two kinds of toys that I like are not easy to have, but I'm still praying that someday I will have them. For now, all I can do is admire and be a fan of these two toys, the cars, and the big bikes or motorcycles.

Right now, my only source of viewing exotically beautiful cars and bikes is through YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. Before, I used to enjoy roaming around and watching these car shows. Seeing their builts, how their cylinders are customly created, and the body parts that are well designed and customized.

Some of them are displayed openly, and some are on lift displays. And speaking of these lifts, there are different kinds of lifts for cars, but I didn't know that there are also lifts for bikes or motorcycle lifts. What more surprises me is that there are varieties of these products offered by different companies online and offline.

Specifically, these motorcycle lifts are placed only in motor shops. They are used to repair motorbikes with problems beneath or hard-to-reach areas. In other words, the benefits of having one of these lifts are the ease of work time and convenience in the workplace.

If I'm one of the billionaires who own a number of motorbikes and cars, I will definitely get myself one of these lifts. When it comes to my own things I like to work it with my own hands. I like myself to get dirty.

Or even if I own a small motor shop, I will push myself to have one. And besides these toys for the big boys should be taken care of properly and everyone need to have their own set of tools for these toys.

After the success of the recent online launch of Star Magic Workshops, we will re-open the Artist Registry of Star Magic, to welcome more talents from our public workshops. Now, students will have more access to auditions and will have a chance to be a talent for the network’s teleseryes!

When the pandemic shut down all countries, their borders and economies last year, Rahyan Carlos, head of the Star Magic Artist Training and Workshops did not waste time in studying and finding ways to transpose all workshops and training for the actors. “Last April 2020 after a month-long of intensive studying, auditing classes abroad and transposing modules online with my teachers, we resumed the training for acting, dance, voice and conversational tagalog via zoom. And it worked!” said Direk Rahyan.

Even if after the network’s shutdown happened last year, this did not dampen the spirit of Direk Rahyan to stop training actors. In fact, he and his teachers held all workshops online via zoom. In June 2020, Star Magic had a soft launch of all workshops online. “We had 250 students all over the world during the pandemic from 22 participating countries such as England, London, New Zealand, Singapore, Japan, Australia, Florence Italy, Virginia, New York, L.A., Guam, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, France, New Jersey, Dubai, Qatar and Canada. We had live and recorded online recitals and culminating activities of all our workshops and people were so entertained and cheered for their loved ones who participated in the online training,” said Direk Rahyan.
