Wally Watthead and His Lost Glow: A Bubbles and Confetti Filled Magic Show

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Seeing bubbles and confetti flying through the air is fascinating especially if you're a kid. As an adult, it brings back memories when we used to play with our bubble machines, and throwing itsy-bitsy pieces of shredded paper in most celebrations. May it be a children's party or a special occasion among adults recognizing an achievement, it's quite joyous to see an attraction.

Even grown-ups were amazed of the sudden bursts of confetti and bubbles at the Wally Watthead and His Lost Glow magical show held last Friday November 14, 2014 at the PETA Theater Center. The children were not the only ones cheering. Even the grown ups were thrilled.

The clown-like magician Wally Watthead (played by Janne Raudaskoski from Finland) doesn't talk much in the show but his facial expressions were so wacky that his further interactions with a giant mobile phone named Simon the Simcard (voiced by Jonathan Hutchings) and a screen-projected Polly Picture (played by Tuija Nuojua Raudaskoski) was as funny as watching my old-time favorites children's show during my younger years.

Confidence: The Secret to Taking The Plunge

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Living the life you’ve always dreamed of begins with confidence. If you feel that it’s the one thing you’re missing, here are a few steps that will help you gain self-assurance.

Know your strengths and weaknesses. Confidence comes from knowing who you are, which means being able to determine both your strengths and weaknesses. By being in touch with both, you can make better life choices. This is also a good gauge on things you need to improve on and work hard at, helping you create a better version of yourself which you can be proud of.

Expect your success. Pessimism is not just draining: it also undermines your performance. Expecting the worst possible outcome can dampen your spirits and make you more worrisome rather than hopeful. Choosing to think that the outcome will be positive and successful helps in building your confidence.

Take risks. Ironically, taking risks helps develop us into becoming better people. There’s no confidence found in doing the same things over and over again. We develop who we are by doing things that we don’t naturally do. By overcoming things that used to scare us, we develop a stronger sense of self, something needed in becoming more confident.

Pasay Business Conference 2014: Preparation, Business Linkages and Financing for ASEAN Integration

Wazzup Pilipinas!

As Pasay City business chamber prepares for the coming of the ASEAN Integration next year, it is high time to further discuss and share information on this. The Philippines should play an active role in pursuing the integration of Southeast Asian economies because many would like to find out if the country will benefit or suffer from the integration.

Though the country has comparative advantages that should make integration beneficial to Filipino businesses, there are critics who fear that the Philippines is not yet prepared for integration because the Philippines could lose out in a regime of tighter market competition in the region.

To help in the ASEAN Integration preparation, the first Pasay Business Conference was organized to benefit businesses who would like to get a better view of the issues. The conference will be held on November 25, 2014 at Heritage Hotel, Pasay City with the theme “Preparation. Business Linkages and Financing for Asean Integration,"  and aims to inform and educate the majority of Pasay City business owners on the concepts , best practices , do’s and don’t’s and further prepare for the Asean economic Integration.
