Imagine this: The sound of waves crashing on the shore and the sunlight peeking through the window wake you up on a lazy Saturday morning. You slowly open your eyes, afraid that you’re just in the middle of a dream. But you’re not. You stand up as you feel the gentle sea breeze touch your face. You go out of the porch and look at the horizon. You take your time to enjoy the beauty of the blue skies and the deep sea. The yacht will be waiting for you whenever you’re ready, anyway. That’s the promise of Avara Nature & Yacht Club—the easy life of the seaside. 

Established by the Seaside Premier Development Corporation, Avara is the first of its kind nature and yacht club located at Calauag Bay in Taytay, which was Palawan’s first capital.

As a traveler, I often exposed myself to the excruciating heat of the sun and that causes my skin to get dry and damaged. Outdoor activities resulted in my face to have the uneven skin tone, dark spots, and even skin pigmentation. Indeed, it lowered my self-esteem. I tried different products to lessen the visibility of the skin pigmentation on my face but the harder I tried the more frustrated I am.

Dark spot has always been a common problem for women especially for Filipinas like us who often find ourselves under the sun. Good thing there’s Pynocare - the first ever, safe and effective anti-melasma capsule for skin depigmentation. The best part? Pynocare is 100% natural and consists only of ingredients which have long been proven effective. Manufactured by MegaLife Sciences, a renowned Thai beauty pharmaceuticals company, Pynocare is a dermatologist-proven effective to combat dark spots and melasma. Each capsule is packed with vitamins and nutrients that are good for your skin such as Betacarotene and Ascorbic acid. 

Additionally, Pynocare contains MSCC Complex (Melasma Skin Clear Complexion) which is a patented combination of powerful antioxidants. By taking it 2x a day after meals, you’ll see results in as early as two months. Pynocare retails for only 67.75 pesos per piece and is available in all leading drugstores nationwide. With Pynocare, it didn’t stop me from doing what I love.

For a gamer, there is nothing more frustrating than getting a call in the middle of a play. That is why Mobile Legends or PUBG players pick phones that are powerful enough to meet their heavy gaming needs. Global brand Vivo has been in the forefront of developing innovations to address the usual woes of a gamer. 

Vivo knows that the first step to handle mobile games is reliable hardware. Its latest flagship, the X21, is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 Artificial Intelligence Engine chip. This can effectively utilize CPU resources for complex processes.

The Vivo X21 is also equipped with AI technology. Through machine intelligence, the X21’s AI Smart Engine can intelligently allocate system resources in real-time to optimize its performance based on the requirements of a gaming apps. It also manages all apps running in the background and prioritizes memory space to commonly used apps.

The Vivo X21 also has a dedicated AI Game Mode that knows when a user is playing games to transform the smartphone into a dedicated game console. It then activates features that help minimize distraction. For instance, it can block new message alerts when playing games.

But it also offers features that allow a gamer to keep in touch. Vivo’s new flagship smartphone can receive calls on the background when the Wi-Fi is turned so a gamer can still have the option to talk to their callers even while playing a game. It also has a picture-in-picture feature that gives the player to respond to messages without stopping the game.
