The Mazda Baby Is All Grown Up
By Monch "The Monchster" Henares
At First Glance
There she is.... the Mazda 2 V+. It's that new vivacious smile that caught my attention. Gone are the days of the Joker-like grin grills. Sleek, flowing lines enhanced by sporty front and side body skirts, and a rear spoiler complete the Mazda 2's aerodynamic nimbleness. Kudos to the KODO Soul of Motion design philosophy.

HOLO FOTO - ANOTHER AWESOME EVENT SOUVENIR BY AWARD-WINNER 360 SELFIE
I've attended so many events as a writer and blogger in the past 2 years.

I brought home pictures that I either lost or left stuffed in a drawer somewhere. I have never seen an event souvenir so innovative, eye-catching and memorable until last week.

The Dream of Credit For The underserved and Unbanked Filipino Is Now A Reality
(From L-R) GCat, Fuse Head of Lending, Kim Seng, Mynt President and CEO Anthony Thomas, Mynt Chief Data and Risk Officer and CEO of Fuse Lending Jean Francois Darre and Product Manager Myles Salud |
According to a 2017 World Bank survey, Eighty percent of adult Filipinos are unbanked and don't have any access to credit lines. When in desperation, their only recourse is to borrow with outrageous interest rates of 20% or more from informal and unlicensed money lenders called "five-six". It is simple and enticing for the regular Juan because no collateral or supporting documents are needed. Unfortunately, it leads to a debt trap that people find hard to break out off just to stay afloat.

ReLife Introduces A Non-Invasive and Safe Way To Look Young Again
Everyone will definitely get old someday. Some may find the fountain of youth and stay young looking forever. But, for most of us who are not so lucky, our faces will tend to gravitate downwards as we age, causing our cheeks to droop and come side-by-side with our chins. Unsightly eyebags will start to grow and darken making us look tired and beat up. Not to mention, we will slowly dry up and wrinkle like a prune.

BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY FORUM 2018: TRANSFORMING BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY IN PH | Monchster Chronicles
What is Blockchain?
According to Wikipedia...Blockchain was invented by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008 for use in the cryptocurrency Bitcoin, as its public transaction ledger. A Blockchain is a decentralized, distributed and public digital ledger that is used to record transactions across many computers so that the record cannot be altered retroactively without the alteration of all subsequent blocks and the collusion of the network.This allows the participants to verify and audit transactions inexpensively. A Blockchain database is managed autonomously using a peer-to-peer network and a distributed timestamping server. The invention of the Blockchain for Bitcoin made it the first digital currency to solve the double-spending problem without the need of a trusted authority or central server. The bitcoin design has been the inspiration for other applications.

Filipino Cancer Survivor Will Run The Marathon Of His Life To Reach The Top Of The World
"NORTH POLE MARATHON". Why would a Filipino, who is tropically acclimatized, even want to run in the coldest and harshest marathon that will take him to the very top of the world? He will experience temperatures as low as -30 degrees centigrade and will be running for 42 kilometers on top of 6 to 12 feet of frozen Arctic ocean. Why? He will be looking at nothing else but miles of blinding white terrain and unfortunately have a 50/50 chance of coming face to face with a hungry polar bear. Why?
