LIFE IS FUN WITH PUNS Scan this icon to view the PDF
COFFEE OR SAVINGS?
WE LOVE a good pun, especially when it’s on point and somehow relatable. This retail brand now makes it possible to wear a pun or two with their modest selection of T-shirts. Linya-Linya is the one responsible for some pun-ny statement shirts we see online. What started as an “idea factory of puns and illustrations” on Facebook, became a retail brand when the group Yabang Pinoy turned Ali Sangalang and Panch Alvarez’s (Linya-Linya founders) creations into tees in 2012. “We create relatable entries out of our shared ordinary experiences such as getting giddy in love, feeling exasperated, or even dreading Monday, and post them on our social media site,” said Linya-Linya on its Facebook page. Here are some of their witty tees that can make your and other people’s day better.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR A MARATHON LIKE

GERALD ANDERSON

Over My Dad Body
Don’t let other people take advantage of you, show them that you are someone not to be messed with.
Bed Vibes
No one like bad vibes, but when its raining and there’s no better thing to do—or even if there is, as long as its cold outside—then it’s definitely good, bed vibes.
Ang Sushi ng Pag-ibig
As the saying goes: The way to a man’s or woman’s heart is through their stomach. So fill it with sushi and other good food.

growing stronger, as according to the first Money Matters Report of micro-investing app Acorns, almost half or 41.29 percent of its 1,911 18to 35-year-old respondents said they spent more on coffee in the past year than they invested in their retirement. The survey, which looked at the spending habits of Generation Y, was commissioned through Survey Monkey in November 2016. Joanna’s multiple visits to nearby coffee shop across her residence costs her about P4,000 a month. “I know this amount could have gone into my savings,” she admitted. But at least, she said, it’s “more or less” the same money she sets aside for her retirement, “but I’m looking at adding more as I get older.” Sandy*, a store supervisor in a large coffee shop chain told MS Young Life that the largest market in their branch are customers age 25 to 35. The number could be because the branch’s said location is near offices, but could also be because the “always-on-the-go” generation needs to be on top of their game as they embark on tasks or awake as they spend time having fun with friends. If one spends more money on coffee than investing in their future, that could be a dangerous thing, no matter how perky one becomes as he takes on any challenge. Jacob Funk Kirkegaard, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, told USAtoday.com the youth need “to drastically change their financial behaviors and start saving towards retirement.” However, as the young lot chug down their cups of joe, only 8.47 percent of Acorns’ survey respondents are actually prioritizing saving for their sunset days. There’s nothing wrong in indulging in a cup of java, or even being dependent to its stimulating effect, especially at times when you need it. But if a chunk of your budget goes to coffee shops thereby straining your finances, then you’re probably better off getting a coffee maker and beans of your choosing, and brew your own coffee at home or in the office. Don’t forget to get a reusable cup, too, so you don’t add up to the waste destroying our environment.

N MARCH 19, Gerald Anderson will run his first marathon. This will be his first foray into 42km running event after graduating from 10km runs, and it will happen in Los Angeles, USA.
“Lagi Lagi akong sumasali sa mga runs but hanggang 10K lang. Nung nag-start -start akong mag-training [for the upcoming LA Marathon], naramdaman ko na parang kaya ko ‘to (I always join in runs but only up to 10K. When I started training for the upcoming LA Marathon, I felt like I could do it),” shared Anderson. The 27-year-old actor and sports and fitness enthusiast has joined several races in the past. He finished his first triathlon at the 2015 ASTC Asian Triathlon Cup. Last year, he participated in the Powerman Duathlon Asian Invitational held in November where he won 4th place and the Powerman Duathlon Pilipinas World series in December where he finished at 6th place, both under the Male 24-29 Age Group. For this run, Anderson exercises everyday, since November, with the help of triathlete coach George Vilog. His routine exercises include working out, swimming, biking and running, with one hour of rest. A week or two before the marathon, he said he plans to lighten his exercise routine to release tension. He admitted that he has no serious diet in the span of his training because of his busy work schedule, however he gave up some food items such as burger, pizza, kare-kare and chicken curry, to name a few. Joining a 42km marathon is already a feat in itself, but Anderson goes farther and further than he ever went as he will be the Philippine representative of Skechers Performance to the 32nd edition of the prestigious LA Marathon. Skechers Performance, a division of Skechers USA, is taking delegates from different countries to join the race, which will start at the Dodger Stadium and will end near the Santa Monica Pier. Anderson will join over 25,000 amateur and professional runners. In choosing Anderson as the Philippine representative to the running event, Skechers Performance officials said he is the “perfect embodiment” of the brand’s campaign “Go Like Never Before.” “Gerald is really the perfect example of a person who just wants to go after his dreams and achieve what’s limitless,” enthused Christina Tang,, marketing manager of Skechers Performance. She added that Anderson is not just an actor but also a person who has a heart to inspire people. Anderson is likewise thrilled to be the chosen Philippine delegate to the LA Marathon 2017. He shared how he always wanted to be athletic—a childhood dream he’s making possible today. “Big things, big dreams. When you really want something and you work hard for it, magkakatotoo talaga (it will come true),” he mused. He added, “[2017] is gonna be a more active [year for me] because aside from the LA Marathon, there will be other marathons the whole year, so sobrang nagpapasalamat ako kay God na pumasok yung Skechers at this exact time (I am grateful to God for this partnership with Skechers).” His only advice to other runners is simple, “Lumabas ka ng bahay niyo, magsuot ka ng Skechers, and run (Get out of your house, wear a pair of Skechers, and run). Start from zero. Everybody starts from zero. And always do your best.”
GO LIKE NEVER BEFORE. Gerald Anderson is Skechers Performance’s Philippine delegate to the prestigious LA Marathon happening on March 19.
NEW CUTIE ALERT: MOTOGP RACER MARC MARQUEZ HE’S A Grand Prix motorcycle road racer, a three-time MotoGP world champion, and a 23-year-old Spanish lad with a talent that wows the world and a face that swoons the crowd. He’s name is Marc Marquez. Born in the Catalan town of Cervera, Marquez rode a motorcycle for the first time when he was four years old. At 15, he made his championship debut at the 125cc World Championship in 2008. Aside from his title in MotoGP class (2013, 2014 and 2016), he also currently holds two world championship titles, making him the youngest rider to get five World Championship titles. Marquez also owns other long list of records—most of which for being the youngest to achieve something: “Youngest rider to win five successive Grand Prix,” “Youngest ride to win at least one race in three classes of GP Racing,” and “Youngest rider in the history of
world motorcycling to get 50 wins,” among many others. Blame it on his talent and multiple recognitions, but we can also argue that it’s because of his face that youth fashion label Pull&Bear teams up with Marquez to launch a collection that brings together the latest trends and the main identifying characteristics of a Spanish rider. The young athlete will design his first collection in collaboration with Pull&Bear’s creative teams. The collection, composed of urban inspired garments, will feature some of the symbols that best represent Marquez: the number 93, the year of his birth; and the ant, the mascot that’s been with him since his first days in the racing world. Non-motorcycle road racing fans will get to see more of this Spanish cutie as he will be the fashion label’s image in 2017 and 2018.
The threetime MotoGP world champion embarks on a new journey as Pull&Bear’s image model.

TEASES FANS WITH NEW MUSIC CLIP ALTERNATIVE rock duo Twenty One Pilots scored the best-selling vinyl album of 2016 with its first chart-topping record, Blurryface. The duo, comprised of musicians Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun, had one of the best years of any musical act, especially on the Hot Rock Songs chart, which is Billboard’s tally that measures the most popular rock-only songs every week. Its singles “Stressed Out,” “Ride,” and “Heathens” (Suicide Squad soundtrack) have stayed at No. 1 for a combined 52 weeks, and that number isn’t done growing just yet. Now, Twenty One Pilots appears to have teased a new music video for another possible hit. The band recently posted a black and white image to Instagram, which featured a burning car on a darkened road. The caption read: “mistermistyeyed,” which refers to a lyric from their album opener “Heavydirtysoul.” The track was released as a single in December, with fans now speculating that a music video could follow shortly.

KOREAN STAR RAIN GOT HITCHED Korean superstar couple Rain and Kim Tae Hee
SUPERSTAR couple Rain and Kim Tae Hee blew their fans’ minds with the surprise wedding announcement. The couple finally tied the knot on Jan. 19 at Gahoe-dong Cathedral in Seoul after dating for around four years. The two held a private wedding where only relatives and close friends attended. Their wedding mass lasted about 90 minutes. The groom wore a black suit and the bride a white dress that ended above knee.
Preparations for the wedding were carried out in secret, with guests told of the place and time only yesterday. The venue was guarded by private security guards for hours, preventing a group of reporters from getting a glimpse of the couple. A few days ago, the couple were rumored to get married on February 19. But reports were debunked by their respective agencies. However, Rain confirmed the wedding, with no specific date, through his Instagram post.
