The Walking Dead's” Steven Yeun Hints At Twins!

Could “The Walking Dead” star Steve Yeun be the newest celebrity to be expecting twins? It's starting to look that way!

The 33-year-old actor announced in December that his wife, Joana Pak, is going to have a baby. On Valentine's Day, he posted a series of adorable pictures featuring the couple in a photo booth, with Joana showing off her bump. However, it's the tiniest little thing that has gotten fans talking, thinking that Steven and his wife could potentially be expecting twins.

When Steven posted the photo, the only caption that he included were two tiny little bee emojis. This is similar to another photo he posted last month when he included two bee emojis in that one as well. 

Many fans think that the two bees are a sign that there are, in fact, two babies, especially since Steven has posted the bees more than once. Some fans also think that the bees are a nod to Beyonce, who announced a few weeks ago that she is expecting twins with her husband Jay Z. Steven and Joana were married on December 3rd at Los Angeles' historic Paramour Estate in a beautiful ceremony. It was just a few days after that when it was confirmed that the couple were expecting a baby. 

We are so excited about this adorable couple, whether it's twins or not, and we know that they are going to make amazing parents.

The best way to celebrate National Hair-free Day

Like most women, you’re probably already familiar with the concept of waxing. And like a lot of them, you probably also think that the process doesn’t sound very appealing. Still, waxing is a standard part for a lot of women’s grooming routine; and they will book a session, show up for their appointment, go through the whole (seemingly) painful procedure, and emerge smooth and hair-free, without batting an eyelid. 

Why do they go through it all? Because to be honest, waxing is not as excruciating as one might assume. It’s all a matter of choosing the right waxing salon to go to. For starters, a reputable salon should be able to take you through the process without causing anxiety, regardless if you’ve been doing this for years or you’re new to the whole thing.

They should be able to demonstrate why there’s no need to feel self-conscious and assure you that you’re in the hands of experts. The process is swift, and the aestheticians are trained to work in small, manageable sections and press on the skin as the wax is removed to help ease discomfort. After that, you’re ready to go. 

It’s all quite simple and straightforward. And if you think you’re ready to take the plunge, then there’s no better time than April 3rd—when Hey Sugar!, the country’s premiere all-natural waxing destination, celebrates National Hair Free Day. For the occasion, you can visit any Hey Sugar branch between 10:00 am – 1:00 pm and you can get free underarm waxing and eyebrow threading for free!

Hey Sugar! Waxing Salon opens in SM Calamba

Philippines is a tropical country wherein the warmth and heat of the sun can be felt all year long. While it is fun and exciting to live in the tropics because you can enjoy the outdoors as much as you want, it also has its ups and downs. On one hand, year-round sun and fun; on the other, maintaining your body for year-round sunning and funning can be exhausting.

When you have the option to slip into your shorts and head to the beach or pool any time of the year, the goal is to maintain skin that’s smooth, no matter what season, which can certainly be sorted out by an appointment to your nearest waxing salon. But for Hey Sugar! Waxing Salon, it’s as much about giving clients what they need while making sure that they allow them to feel fabulous about themselves as well.

Hey Sugar makes all-natural and 100 % Sugar grooming options accessible to clients of all shapes and sizes. They use 100% naturally hypoallergenic sugar wax that minimizes side effects such as allergic reactions and chemical irritations caused by traditional wax—a gentler but no less effective way to keep your skin smooth and hair-free.

Hey Sugar!’s interiors are renowned for being warm, inviting and discreet. Clients can walk in and expect a clean and sterilized environment ideal for the sensitive beauty routines that they are about to undergo, while still feel like they are about to get pampered and taken care of.

And best of all, they can rest easy knowing they are in the hands of expert aestheticians who were trained to deliver only the best results. For newbies, this means you can easily ask your aesthetician any question about the process and advantages of sugar waxing and get a clear answer; for veterans, you know you will walk out of your appointment knowing there’s no other destination that can give you the same results using all-organic hair-removal methods.

“We strive to bring reliable and fast services, but also connect with our customers—it’s a very personal grooming procedure, after all, and we are dedicated to making customers happy and comfortable. Clients expect quality service, superior treatments and affordable prices but not at the expense of a warm and comfortable environment—and that’s exactly what we have waiting for them here,” explains Arvin A. Amaro, Hey Sugar’s Marketing Head.

At the end of the day, everyone deserves some sugar…and there’s no better place to get it than by heading to Hey Sugar! SM Calamba.

Hey Sugar! Waxing Salon currently has 23 locations nationwide, including in UP Town Center, Festival Supermall, SM Bicutan, SM Sta. Rosa, SM Bacolod and our newest branch Hey Sugar Calamba.

Your Ultimate Summer Pampering Destination - Nailaholics Nail Salon and Spa

Can you feel the summer coming? That means hot weather, beach time, shorts, sandals, sundresses--and lots of it. The question is, are you ready? Not to worry though, we’ve got you covered.

Nailaholics, the city’s top urban nail and pampering destination in the country, has been everyone’s go-to destination for the season, so here’s a run-down of things-to-do to keep your skin, tips, and toes summer ready.

Prepare for sandal-season 

Over the holidays, when the wind blew colder and your legs and feet were clad in tights and boots, it was easy to miss your regular waxing and pedicure appointments. But summer means trading in your warmer outfits for colorful shorts and summer skirts, paired with your favorite flip-flops or sandals. Book an appointment for a pedicure ASAP and jumpstart the season with a waxing session to get your stems ready. 

Get ready for summer outfits 

Legs are a major focus during summer that it’s easy to forget your arms need attention too. Because of the weather, you’ll be baring your arms and shoulders as soon as the wind blows a little warmer. Get them in perfect summer shape by booking a moisturizing treatment, followed by a manicure. Be sure to choose a bright hue on your nails to complement the season. 

Make sure you’re super Summer-ready 

Before you head off for your summer adventure, get yourself primed for the season by getting a head to toe buff and polish. Get Vitamin Sea: Manicure, Pedicure and Foot Spa to stimulate blood flow and leave skin glowing. Be sure to moisturize post treatment by keeping a bottle of Argan oil handy. 

Post-holiday Pampering Day 

A visit to your favorite nail salon isn’t just for pre-holiday beach trips; sometimes, you need vacation from your vacation too. Summer means crowded airports, cramped flights, long road trips—and you’ll need to unwind after. Choose from our menu of spa treatments so that you not only get to relax, you also make sure you’re prepped and ready to go for your next vacation.

We are surprised since this creamery doesn’t only offer best flavors of ice cream but brings great entertainment to their customers by juggling and throwing of ice creams (Yep! Can you imagine that? It’s super fun!) to keep a fun and lively atmosphere. “We always emphasize customer service at the top and because we value our customers so much, we want to give them something that they’ll never forget, a fun experience at Cold Stone,” says Rebecca Fernandez, Training Manager.

Savor the flavors of Grilla Filipino Cuisine

Grilla, a specialty casual Filipino family restaurant that caters to young professionals, corporate accounts, families, balikbayans and foreigners (local and tourists), was born in Antipolo City in 1998. In 2016, it opened another store in SM MOA by the Bay. To this day, Grilla have earned its reputation as institutional establishments in its own locality. Grilla prides itself as pioneering the first of many creations such as "Buckets of Beer" and the Grilla Feast - barbecues served in bilaos for sharing among big families and groups.

Grilla's main clientele when it first opened were mostly college students and young professionals. As the market matures, Grilla evolved as well by offering new local dishes a well as foreign inspired barbecues. While Grilla was equally popular as a drinking and dining destination, it has become apparent that most of the regular clientele that first patronized Grilla now still come but with families in tow. It is for this reason that Grilla decidd to tweak its image in 2013 by refreshing its look and renaming Grilla Bar and Grill to Grilla Filipino Cuisine. The move to do so is to give more focus to its culinary offering and to make Grilla more family friendly, as if to say that Grilla has grown with its clientele.

Grilla is celebrating 19 wonderful years in 2017. While we constantly crave for ubiquitous local dishes such as Crispy Pata, Kare-kare and Adobo, the reality is that there is still so much that Filipino cuisine has to offer and one must have to travel our vast archipelago to try them.That is why Grilla offers sumptuous and exciting Filipino dishes not typically found in Filipino restaurants in Manila. While Grilla carries most of the all-time Filipino favorites, Grilla offers more by featuring various regional Filipino specialties that have been scoured from all over the archipelago such as Dinardaraan, Ilocos Bagnet, Lechong Liempo ala Cebu, Beef Kansi, Beef Kamto at Litid Sinanglao, Sinampalukang Inihaw na Manok and Inadobong Tilapia sa Gata at Sili among others. Grilla's goal is to be renowned as the default go to place for Filipino cuisine as it represents a wider selection of authentic dishes from all over the country.

Let me take you to a drooling food journey Grilla at SM MOA by the Bay has shared with media friends and bloggers:

Tokwa't Manok

It is a healthy version of the famous Tokwa't Baboy that every Pinoys crave for. Instead of the ususal pork liempo, Grilla's version is Grilled Chicken Inasal and fried chunks of tofu in a mildly spiced 

sweet-soy-vinegar sauce.

Crispy Chicharong Bacon

Deep fried, thinly sliced pork belly served with vinegar dip.

Crispy Fish Trio

Crisp fried strips of tilapia, hito and bangus served with vinegar dip.

Sisig Sampler

Grilla's famous pork sisig, chicken sisig and tofu-sigarilyasisig. other choices for the sampler are Squid Sisig, Tuna Sisig and Bangus Sisig.

Lechong Liempo ala Cebu (300 grams/order)

Roasted pork belly marinated in ginger,

Beef Kansi

A famous Bacolod dish which is a cross between a sinigang and bulalo. Kansi is beef and beef bone marrow with a sour soup made with Kamias.

Grill-a-Palayok

This dish is a Grilla original. Mussels,clams, maya-maya fillet, thinly sliced beef short plate and pork belly cooked over hot stone in palayok. The dish is served with a hot broth of ginger and lemongrass, and three condiments : Sinamak, Nilasing na mangga and Soy-Vinegar Dip.

Pisa sa Nayon

This showcases Filipinos love for fiestas. What better way to celebrate a special occasion with Crispy Pata, Sinampalukang Inihaw na Manok, Seafood Gising Gising, Fried Okoy with Steamed Rice.

Halo Halo Spring Rolls

Deep fried spring rolls of red mongo beans, sweetened banana and kamote, served with ube ice cream and a sprinkle of toasted pinipig.

Grilla Dessert Sampler

A taste of Grilla's sweet offerings : Leche Flan, Palitaw smothered in coconut sauce and Suman-Manga at Macapuno topped with Vanilla Ice Cream.

What I admired about Grilla's dishes is that they really taste authentic Filipino. I love how they fused different local spices together and incorporate them to make the dishes even more palatable.

Let's celebrate Valentine's season with #KwentongJollibee

"There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved..." This and more quotes and definitions of LOVE now surround the social media and everywhere. This Love Month, Jollibee prepared something special for everyone. Get ready to melt, to laugh, to cry and to fall in love...

Lucky enough to have been invited for the #KwentongJollibee preview last Feb. 6, 2017

#KwentongJollibee

To showcase some of the countless love stories that Pinoys have experienced with the country's number one and beloved fast-food chain, Jollibee has launched three new videos under its highly successful and much raved about #KwentongJollibee series in time for Valentine's Day.

In a special exclusive screening at the Ayala Malls The 30th, the media got to see firsthand the latest batch of #KwentongJollibee videos that were inspired by true and heartwarming stories of love. The complete cast of the Kwentong Jollibee Valentine series was also present to make the media preview even more special.

"For nearly four decades now, Jollibee has been a part of Filipino's lives, witnessing the most touching of their life stories," said Francis Flores, Jollibee's Global Brand Chief Marketing Officer and Jollibee Philippines Marketing head. "Through this new episodes of #KwentongJollibee, the brand recognizes love in all its forms, as an icon which celebrates the joy that is present in each shared special moment."

Jollibee stories from the heart

VOW

In what could be the most relatable case of unrequited, unconditional love, "Vow" pays homage to people who continue to love, without expecting anything in return. Directed by Ianco dela Cruz (who helmed all previous Kwentong Jollibee materials), it tells the story of a man who fell deeply in love with "the one" from the time he first saw her at a Jollibee store. But fate led them to a different path, and the story perfectly captures how love can take on a different form and still prevail in the end.

DATE

The second story "Date" explores the grim realities of life and love yet brings to light the beautiful gift of endless love. Directed by Pepe Diokno, it showed how a young boy took the effort to arrange a surprise Valentine's dinner for his mother following his father's instructions to the letter. The son manages to set up the perfect date with his mom, complete with her Jollibee favorites. The mom was overwhelmed when the son shows her a video recording, which revealed that the Valentine's date was really another proof of her husband's eternal love fore her.

CRUSH

"Crush" is directed by Joel Ruiz and appeals to all the hopeless romantics in us. It is a feel-good and charming tale of a young college boy who's head-over-heels in love with his schoolmate and who chooses to express his feelings by leaving her with anonymous cheerful notes with her favorite Jollibee burger. Decades later, a homecoming event sees the boy, now an elderly man, making the same romantic gesture for the love of his life.

Cast of "Crush"

Three of the brand's previous #KwentongJollibee videos (Almusal, Entrance Exam and Mama's Girl) were among the campaigns recognized in the 2016 Araw Values Awards. Jollibee's viral Grandparents' Day Video "Kahera" meanwhile made it to Google Asia Pacific's YouTube Leaderboard last September 2016 as among the most watched videos in the region -- the only campaign from the Philippines to make it to the list.

Cast of "Vow"

Through the years, Jollibee has witnessed many kinds of stories unfold, develop, and flourish in all its stores across the country. This Valentine's season, Jollibee and its new #KwentongJollibee series invites you to celebrate love and savor the joys that come with the special shared moments.

"Ikaw, ano ang #KwentongJollibee mo?"

Some interesting facts about the B-Bender

The B-Bender is a guitar accessory wherein a player can mechanically bend the B-string up a whole tone to C-sharp. B-bender has several different designs, but all use levers or pulleys inside or outside the guitar body that are activated by a pull or push of the guitar neck, body, or bridge.

photo credit; Google

The B-Bender which was originally known as the Parsons/White Pull-String, was invented in 1968 by musicians Gene Parsons and Clarence White (both American musicians/artists) of Nashville West and The Byrds.

Musicians prefer this type of guitar because it produces a unique kind of sound that you can't find elsewhere. Most musicians also find it fun to play, has a good feel, good tone and good pick up. It's a bit heavy though, but considering the benefits and the quality of the sound it makes, the weight is never an issue.

Guitars of this type is best used for jamming, practicing, recording, rock concerts and small venues.
