What could we possibly see on this movie, that other say was realistic and funny at the same time? Star Cinema believes in the movie, so why shouldn’t we? How could we question a movie that stars Eugene Domingo who was know for her talent in different dimension and shades? Whose versatility and characterization won her supporting actress awards? Who’s past movies like Kimi Dora and Here come’s the Bride were blockbusters in the big screen.

Dell Launch the Connected Classroom for Better Learning Environment

Do you still remember those days when a whole class has to share one computer? Those days when you have to wait just to take a peek on the monitor or a minute to try the keyboard or mouse. Technology had gone a long way. Everyone now, in one way or another have the gadget to communicate.  The modern age is here. From PC, comes the laptop, notebook and the most recent one, IPod2. This technology had helped us to improve our lives. These gadgets made our social communication easier. From network, leisure, school work or office work, we have definitely advanced. 

Believing that technology should make our life easier, DELL announced advancement to its Connected Classroom learning environment with a number of products and solutions. These helps provide schools and teachers with the necessary technology and understanding to transform the traditional classroom into an environment in which students can be nurtured and prepared for life in the digital age.

By incorporating innovative, educational functionality into multi-purpose devices, such as teacher and students Pcs and classroom projectors, school can minimize the cost of purchasing and managing dedicated hardware devices and focus resources on enhancing teaching and learning.

I found out that with just a minimum budget of more than One Hundred Thousand, your school can start acquiring the whole start up gadget. Since everyone has a fascination on notebook or laptop, we might as well use this in the advantage of the student to further their learning. With teacher controlling the overall class, no student would be left behind. Every moment or website can be control even without the teachers leaving their table. Even the student won’t be afraid to ask question without the knowledge of the other student. A more personal approach could be experience even with more than 30 students per classroom.

Be Beautiful, Be Visible by Clarity

Just how can you say that you are truly beautiful?

Do you believe that being beautiful is having a beautiful body or face?

Do you feel beautiful?

What is beautiful to you?

Clarity Aesthetic Medical and Dental Clinic recently start their Be Visible campaign.  Known for their professional beauty and dental transformations, they believe that there’s more to it than just the physical appearance.

” Clarity believes that the road does not end in being aesthetically pleasing. Being beautiful is being visible. Being visible, meanwhile, is putting that beauty into action. To achieve more in life, one has to be visible in their chosen endeavor. At Clarity, being able to show what they got, show their self-confidence and become noticeable, that is visible” said Carmie de Leon, VP for sales and marketing of Clarity.

The Be Visible campaign is Clarity’s way of empowering ordinary people to fully improve themselves and achieve a positive self-image. Self esteem and how to carry your self in the limelight should go hand in hand in how you project your personality. I for one believe that beauty should start from the inside, so that you could have the positive aura as people called it. Shifting your paradigm is another way of showing your positive outlook in life. Having the confidence and training also contributes on your personality. With that in mind, Clarity partnered with John Robert Powers to strengthen the transformations the Be Visible campaign is all about.

Beauty and personality development goes together in making sure that we project the right image. Having both qualities will surely help us to be noticeable with regards to employment or community objective. I am truly grateful that there are companies that believe that they can assist and facilitate what we need. There is nothing wrong if we want to improve ourselves thru science, what matter is how we carry out the result.

With be Be Visible campaign, Clarity will be offering corporations and individuals the “Be Visible Plans” which included personalized packages that combines the company’s core specialization-dental and dermatological services, with John Powers’ consultation hours. “With Be Visible, we are offering free consultation, customized beauty plans from Clarity doctors, and discount to free offerings form John Powers, Zest Air, and other partners, “Dr. Lipana Added.

Located at the fifth level of Shangri-la Mall, Clarity is a 100% subsidiary of Healthway Medical Clinic.
