What? The popular blue bird logo on Twitter has now been replaced with an “X.”
A major transformation has swept through the virtual skies of our favorite social media platform.

Elon Musk dropped the bombshell on Sunday just after midnight that Twitter would be getting rid of “all the birds” and leaving the brand it has grown to be famous for two-plus decades.
Musk has said that he wants to make Twitter a more open and free platform for speech, and the new logo may be a reflection of this new direction.
Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino take up the change, referring to it X as a ‘second chance’ to make an impact. Yaccarino also tweeted on her official account that the platform has been progressively emerging over the last eight months, and she ensured that X will be an application that offers ‘everything’ and committed to using AI to increase the platform’s functionality. Along with its fresh look, X has big plans of expanding into related industries like online banking and video chatting.

Musk tweeted on July 15, 2023, that they had lost 50% of their ad revenue and that the company cash flow was not great either. The issue is that Twitter used to make the majority of its money from advertising, but many large corporations withdrew due to reports of explicit and hateful content spreading on the platform.
This beautiful little blue bird has been our digital companion, swooping above our timelines and linking us with news, trends, and friends from all across the globe.
However, as the saying goes, “change is the only constant,” thus, X has made the courageous decision to start a new chapter and wave goodbye to its previous logo and brand.
Confidence breeds strength, and Belo is here to help unleash your confidence from every angle.
Contrary to popular belief, confidence is not only found in a person’s innermost part but also seen on the outside. This is why it is important to take care of your body on the outside as you do on the inside, and Belo Medical Group is here to help you out with that.
Belo Medical Group has been cultivating confidence for almost 33 years with their offered services, especially 360 Liposuction. The 360 Liposuction is what made Belo a trusted brand and name for cosmetic surgery in the Philippines. Because of its top-notch and world-class cosmetic service, it is safe to say it is what put Belo on the map.
360 Liposuction Tried and True Testimonials
Does the 360 Liposuction really work? Well, it wouldn’t put Belo on the map of the world of cosmetic surgery if it didn’t. However, these amazing ladies have tried and can truly say that Belo’s 360 Liposuction works wonders.
The supermom Dani Baretto faced a situation that is common for first-time moms. She felt that she was losing her power to routine and responsibility, and Dani felt like she did not have control of her own body. “When I gave birth, I completely focused on staying at home and being a mom and a wife, and I totally didn’t realize that I forgot myself in the process.”
Next up, with her youthful look and gaming skills, Alodia Gosiengfiao is loved by gamers and supporters alike. Alodia sought the help of 360 Liposuction as she felt that the youth-centered industry thrives in confidence and that she wanted to preserve hers. Alodia thought that natural aging would affect her career confidence, “[With age] comes a lot of pressure to maintain how I look.”
Max Collins has a bit of both dilemmas experienced by Alodia and Dani. Max needed the confidence to look her best. “I was frustrated that I wasn’t achieving my target arms no matter how much I worked out. With a little encouragement from my friends. I tried Belo 360 Liposuction, and I’m glad I did.”
How 360 Liposuction Works Its Magic: Procedure and Aftercare
360 Liposuction is more than your regular lipo procedure. It is done in a circumferential manner where adjacent areas around the problem area are also targeted to get an even look. Moreover, blood loss is also not a problem with the 360 Liposuction since it uses a thin cannula to sunction out fat.
Once the procedure finishes, clients then undergo Belo’s BodyTiteRF. The procedure includes producing heat that aids in stimulating the contraction of the overlaying skin, resulting to a tightening effect. Worried about the pain? Don’t be; the whole procedure is done under local anesthesia with “twilight sedation,” which means it is safer than general anesthesia. For the aftercare, it is generally easier than the lipo you know of since there is significantly less bruising, and downtime is not as long.
Belo’s 360 Liposuction is a bespoke treatment that is given based on the goals and desires of each patient. Each procedure is unique and personalized to address each client’s body concerns. Dani, Alodia, and Max have ended their procedures more than satisfied, all thanks to the 360 Liposuction’s advanced technology and personalized care.
“The next day after the procedure, I was back to streaming. It was painless for me,” Alodia shared. On the other hand, Max stated that, “360 Liposuction has helped my life so much because I no longer have to go on extreme diets or workout multiple times a day. It’s made me healthier knowing that I no longer have to make my body undergo so much stress.”
Exuding confidence as they face challenging lifestyles head on, this is what the girls are left with after the procedure. “When you love yourself and when you feel confident, you feel you can do anything,” says Dani.

HOW TO GET THERE?
Gato Island is usually included in island hopping tours alongside Kalanggaman Island, La Manok, and Malapascua Island.
BY BUS/ COMMUTE: Take a bus going to Daanbantayan, especially Maya Port, from Cebu North Bus Terminal. The journey takes about 4-5 hours. When you arrive at the port, register for a boat trip to Malapascua Island. The boat trip takes about 30-45 minutes, and when you arrive, you can ask the locals for directions to Gato Island.
BY CAR: Navigate with Waze or Google Maps and set your destination to “Gato Island” in Malapuscua Island.
NOTE: It is best to book a trip and hire an island-hopping agency in advance. ECebu Finest Island Hopping Tour Partners can be contacted at 0916-557-7118.
Ah, family reunions— it’s either something people look forward to or dread. But in most cases, it’s the latter, especially when there are relatives who judge more than our creator does.
While most people love the idea of family and relatives getting together, others would rather lock themselves in their bedrooms. Why? Well, relatives might serve them a plate of piping-hot insults, especially body shaming.
Although the world is now even more open-minded, other people still do not get the message— body shaming destroys self-esteem. So, Dear Tita, shall we begin?
Dear Tita, here’s a hard pill to swallow.
Are you an aunt, uncle, parent, or relative? This might be a wake-up call for you.
Here’s is your “hard pill to swallow” for today— our body is none of your business. Do not share your opinions when it was never asked in the first place. Oftentimes, the words you utter cause severe emotional distress. Even just one insult can stick to a person for years.
“Uy parang tumaba ka! Napabayaan sa kusina (It looks like you put on some weight! Must have no supervision in the kitchen),”
TITA MARITES, 2023.
Now, the most satisfying response would be a spicy come-back, but let’s be honest, not everyone has the courage to stand up for themselves. You might see your subject of ridicule smile and laugh, but once they are alone, their mind will replay what you said like a broken record player.
Dear Tita, observe the 5-second rule.
Here’s a little tip for you. Always remember the 5-second rule. What is it, you may ask? It’s never to point out a person’s flaw, which they can’t fix in under 5 seconds.
Let’s say you see food stuck between someone’s teeth and point it out; that’s fine. However, if you point out that they have acne or gained some weight, that’s already below the belt. You just pointed out something that takes a long time to deal with.
Dear Tita, We don’t need your unsolicited ‘advice.’
Relatives might think they are doing us a favor by giving us ‘advice.’
“You should try this new diet method.”
“Have you heard of this facial product?”
“You are so thin! You should eat more! Try this…”
But really, unless we ask for it, we don’t need it. Maybe we are okay with how we look or have underlying issues that even your magical diet or facial product can’t fix.
Dear Tita, we are not ‘too Sensitive.’
When we defend ourselves by pointing out that commenting on other people’s bodies is rude, we are suddenly ‘too sensitive.’
No, YOU are actually being insensitive. Your words can have dangerous impacts on individuals. Body shaming can lead to the following:
Eating Disorders
Body Dysmorphic Disorder
Anxiety and Depression
All these can have long-lasting adverse effects, leading to physical and mental health issues.
Dear Tita, just because you are family, it does not mean you have the right to comment on our bodies. You can ask us how we are just like normal people. Sometimes, a simple “how are you” would suffice.
Body shaming is an issue we all need to leave behind. It doesn’t hurt to be nice, and it won’t kill us to keep our opinions to ourselves unless asked.

Cebu City offers a thriving real estate market with a whole lot of condominium options. Buying a condo unit in the city can be an exciting and successful investment. However, it is essential to navigate the process with knowledge and due diligence.
Photo from Unsplash
Let’s take a look at some key insights and factors to guide you through buying a condo unit, helping you make the right decisions and secure your financial future.
Determine Your Budget
Photo from Unsplash
Before anything else, assess your financial situation and establish a realistic budget. Consider your income, expenses, existing debts, and savings.
It’s important to set a budget that comfortably fits within your financial capabilities, allowing you to cover the down payment, monthly mortgage payments, and associated costs without straining your finances.
Save for a Down Payment
Photo from Unsplash
Saving for a substantial down payment is a wise financial move when buying a condo unit. While the minimum down payment requirement may vary, it is generally advisable to aim for at least 20% of the total purchase price.
By saving a larger down payment, you can reduce the loan amount, potentially lower your monthly mortgage payments, and even avoid private mortgage insurance (PMI) expenses.
Assess Your Affordability
Photo from Unsplash
It’s critical to determine the affordability of the condo unit you plan to buy. Consider not only the purchase price but also other costs, such as closing fees, taxes, maintenance fees, and insurance premiums.
Ensure that your monthly mortgage payments, along with these additional expenses, align well within your budget. Avoid stretching your finances too thin, as it can lead to financial stress in the long run.
Research Financing Options
Photo from Unsplash
Explore various financing options available to fund your condo purchase. Approach different banks and financial institutions to compare interest rates, loan terms, and eligibility requirements. Understand the terms and conditions, including prepayment penalties and refinancing options.
Carefully review all costs associated with the loan and seek professional advice to choose the best financing option tailored to your financial needs.
Plan for Additional Expenses
Photo from Unsplash
Beyond the purchase price and mortgage payments, anticipate additional expenses that come with owning a condo unit. Make sure to include these costs in your budget-planning to avoid any surprises.
Seek Professional Advice
Consider consulting with professionals such as real estate agents, financial advisors, and lawyers experienced in real estate transactions. They can provide valuable insights and guidance tailored to your specific financial situation.
Their expertise can help you navigate the complexities of buying a condo unit, ensuring that you make conscious decisions and avoid potential pitfalls.

Buying a condo unit in Cebu City can be a rewarding investment, both financially and in terms of lifestyle. Remember, informed decision-making is key to making a wise investment that aligns with your financial goals and aspirations.
Have you ever asked yourself, “Does this choice support the life I want?”
Photos from Unsplash
When choosing the right college degree, we often ask the above-mentioned question. The thought of making a wrong decision is quite scary, especially for those looking to get a degree that will support their dream lifestyles.
What makes things even more difficult are the many options for college degrees. We’ve been there, and we’re here to help you. Here are a few tips on how to choose the right college degree for YOU.
Self-Reflection
Here’s the first step— Reflection
Think about your personal interests or the skills that you have. Consider the things that you know you will have fun learning. Write them down or type them on your computer. Once you’ve done that, match those interests and skills to a particular college degree.
Photos from Unsplash
By aligning your studies with your interests, you will be motivated to pursue the degree.
Evaluate Career Prospects
Different companies are looking for employees to hire. The next thing you can do is evaluate career prospects—research career possibilities, especially which career is in demand in the market. By narrowing down the in-demand careers, you will be able to pinpoint which one will secure you in the future.
Photos from Unsplash
You can also consult a professional who works in the field of your desired college degree.
Anchor Your Strengths and Skills
Let’s go back to skills. If you know you are good at something, use that as an advantage to choose your college degree. Are you good at math? You can choose engineering or even a bachelor of science in mathematics. Assess your strengths and skills to determine which areas you excel in.
Photos from Unsplash
Seek Guidance and Advice
College applications can be taxing and confusing. However, you have an entire support group in the form of your mentors, teachers, and even career counselors. Do not be afraid to seek guidance.
Photos from Unsplash
Seeking guidance can help you gain insight into what you should consider when choosing your degree.
Financial Considerations
Next up is financial considerations. College is not cheap unless you get yourself a full scholarship. Make sure to research scholarships, grants, and financial aid projects that universities or organizations offer. Consider a course that is worth every investment, one that gives you financial and career security in the future.
Photos from Unsplash
Moreover, there are alternatives you can explore, such as community colleges or online programs, if you are thinking of going for a more affordable option.
Long-Term Goals and Personal Growth
There’s a word that’s been repeated in this article— security. To attain financial and career security, you have to think about the goals that you have that are long term. Do your goals align with your career? And, of course, personal growth. Choose a degree that you know will mold you into a successful and secure person.
Photos from Unsplash
Stay Open to Change
Here’s a slightly hard pill to swallow. There will be instances when your first college degree is not for you. And yes, it’s quite expensive to change courses, but it’s not impossible. If you think that your current college degree does not really resonate with you and your goals, you are free to change.
Photos from Unsplash
Keep an open mind and welcome new opportunities. Adapt and explore different paths because this way, you will be able to discover more about yourself.
A degree is more than a diploma, medal, or recognition. It is something that allows you to improve your career opportunities and personal growth and turn your aspirations in life into reality.
Making a big life decision is pretty scary. But do you know what’s even scarier? Regret.
Thinking of getting a car? Scratch that. The real question is, “Are you ready to get a car?”
Buying a car is a big financial decision that needs careful consideration. Timing plays an important role in ensuring you make a wise purchase that aligns with your needs and budget.
Photo from Unsplash
Here are some factors to think about when determining the right time to buy a car, guiding you towards maximizing value and minimizing financial strain.
Evaluate Your Financial Situation
Before buying a car, assess your financial health. Consider your income, expenses, existing debts, and savings.
Determine if purchasing a car fits comfortably within your budget, taking into account the costs associated with owning a car, such as monthly payments, insurance, fuel, maintenance, and registration fees. Ensure you have a solid financial foundation to support this long-term commitment.

Assess Your Transportation Needs
Evaluate your transportation needs and consider if owning a car is necessary. Assess things such as your daily commute, access to public transportation, availability of car-sharing services, and the convenience of carpooling.
If owning a car greatly improves your mobility and meets your specific needs, it may be the right time to consider getting one.
Plan for Major Life Changes
Consider any upcoming major life changes that may impact several things in this aspect. For example, if you are planning to start a family, upgrading to a larger vehicle with sufficient space for children and car seats may be necessary.
Photo from Unsplash
Alternatively, if you are nearing retirement and expecting a change in your driving patterns or financial circumstances, it may be a good time to reassess your car ownership needs.
Monitor Interest Rates
Interest rates can have a huge impact on the cost of financing a car. Keep an eye on the prevailing interest rates in the market. If interest rates are low, it may be a good time to secure a car loan with more favorable terms and lower monthly payments.
However, always estimate your financial capability to repay the loan and consider the overall cost of borrowing before making a decision.
Photo from Unsplash
Determining the right time to buy a car involves a careful analysis of your financial situation, transportation needs, market trends, and life circumstances.
All things considered, taking the time to plan and think the process through, helps you make a purchase that brings both joy and financial peace of mind.
