adidas Originals Revives adicolor Apparel Franchise in SS18

adidas Originals revives adicolor, its most iconic apparel franchise. Cultivated in the 70’s, the range is an instantly recognizable symbol of sports and street culture which returns in 2018 remastered for the present with the confidence to playfully celebrate color for a new generation - never afraid to poke fun at itself.

The highly-anticipated conclusion of the worldwide YA hit book-to-movie franchise “The Maze Runner” that was released in 2014 meets its final chapter in “Maze Runner: The Death Cure” starring an ensemble of today’s most talented actors led by Dylan O’Brien along with Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Ki Hong Lee, Kaya Scodelario, Rosa Salazar, Giancarlo Esposito, Dexter Darden, Aidan Gillen and Patricia Clarkson.

Maze Runner was Ki Hong Lee’s first feature film role. Lee played Minho in the film, a key ally to Thomas when he first arrived in the Glade – the prison he found himself in at the start of the movie. He returned in the follow-up, “Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials,” and comes back once again to complete the trilogy in The Death Cure. But at the end of The Scorch Trials, Minho was captured by the forces of WCKD, and so The Death Cure starts with the Gladers on a mission to save their friend, and bust him out of the prison train he’s being transported on.

From blockbuster filmmakers Wyck Godfrey and Marty Bowen ("Fault In Our Stars", "Maze Runner" and "Twilight") comes another highly-anticipated YA movie "Love, Simon" - about a boy's coming out and finally facing his anonymous correspondent online whom he's fallen in love with.

Everyone deserves a great love story. In "Love, Simon", seventeen-year old Simon Spier's (Nick Robinson) situation is a little more complicated: he’s yet to tell his family or friends he’s gay and he doesn’t actually know the identity of the anonymous classmate he’s fallen for online. Resolving both issues proves hilarious, terrifying and life-changing.

Playing opposite mulit-talented actor Zac Efron as Anne Wheeler is another fast-ascending young star, Zendaya in the big screen musical “The Greatest Showman” along with Hugh Jackman, Michelle Williams, Keala Settle and Rebecca Ferguson.

Guillermo Del Toro’s “Shape of Water” has emerged to be this year’s frontrunner in the 90th Academy Awards with 13 major nominations including Best Picture, Best Actress – Sally Hawkins, Best Supporting Actress – Octavia Spencer, Best Supporting Actor – Richard Jenkins, Best Director – Guillermo Del Toro, Best Original Score – Alexandre Desplat, Best Orignal Screenplay – Guillermo Del Toro and Vanessa Taylor , Best Cinematography – Dan Laustsen, Best Costume Design – Luis Sequiera, Best Film Editing – Sidney Wolinsky, Best Sound Mixing – Glen Gaulthier, Christian Cooke and Brad Zoern, Best Sound Editing – Nathan Robitaille and Nelson Ferreira and Best Production Design - Paul Austerberry, Shane Vieau and Jeff Melvin.

In the main event of ONE: GLOBAL SUPERHEROES, Geje “Gravity” Eustaquio of Baguio City, Philippines clinched the ONE Interim Flyweight World Championship, edging Kairat “The Kazakh” Akhmetov by unanimous decision in an exhilarating five-round title tilt. Although Akhmetov managed to showcase his wrestling, it was largely ineffective against Eustaquio, who was far superior in the striking department for the majority of the bout. Eustaquio repeatedly connected on Akhmetov with crisp, clean combinations throughout the championship contest. In the end, all three judges saw the bout in favor of Eustaquio to win by unanimous decision.

Sacrifice means to give up something cherished in order to get something even more valuable in the future.

This concept also applies to the constantly-evolving world of martial arts as the path to becoming a celebrated world champion is paved with much sacrifice.

To set foot on the pinnacle of success, all competitors must go through blood, sweat and tears in training.

Furthermore, martial artists have to be separated from their families for months to dedicate their lives to the craft that they seek to perfect.

Filipino striking ace Geje “Gravity” Eustaquio had to undergo the same process as he had to give up numerous special occasions with his family and friends to fully focus on his training.

AXN Launches New Year with Hit Series this January

This January, AXN starts the new year with the all new seasons of two hit series - the action drama Hawaii Five-0 and the horror fantasy Supernatural.

Hawaii Five-0 Season 8
Lt. Steve McGarrett (Alex O’Loughlin) and his Five-0 Task Force are back to safeguard the Aloha state from criminality as they investigate new cases and encounter more dangerous villains along the way.

This time around, Hawaii’s elite unit is joined by new recruits Tani Rey (Meaghan Rath), a hotel pool lifeguard who used to be a top candidate at the police academy; Junior Reigns (Beulah Koale), a former Navy SEAL; and Adam Noshimura (Ian Anthony Dale), Kono’s husband who has been a longtime confidant and resource for the team.

Neilsen’s Second Quarter Global Consumer Confidence and Spending Report says almost six in 10 Filipinos prefer to save their extra cash. However, according to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ (BSP) third quarter Consumer Expectations Survey (CES), fewer Filipino families believe they can set aside money for savings. Various studies also show that the country lags behind its neighbors in Southeast Asia in terms of savings. While many Filipinos want to save up for the family, they do not know how to start or to properly go about it.

We believe that setting aside money for a rainy day is important, but we also understand that sometimes our expenses make it almost impossible to do. You don’t need to do it alone. You can get the whole family on board with your money-saving efforts and future goals. Though it will be hard at first, with proper discipline, right attitude, constant reminders, and having your family involved, will make saving easier.

Most of us, Filipinos, would not dare to miss that moment of loved ones tying the knot with their loved one. The celebration of a new family, often marked poignantly by bridal marches, wedding chimes, and the sweet exchange of wedding vows, is the start of a new chapter. Being a part of this should never be missed.

Some people who live and work abroad, however, are not fortunate to witness their family members say ‘I do.’ This is especially true for overseas Filipinos, who often skip this special occasion because of their careers’ demands or to avoid the costs that a trip back to the Philippines might incur.
