Refinance for people with bad credit

Nas Daily (left) and Wil Dasovich (Image: Instagram/@nasddaily; @wil_dasovich) Online content creator Nuseir Yassin, popularly known as Nas Daily, told fellow vlogger and friend Wil Dasovich that it is “impossible” for influencers like them to just stay away from politics. Dasovich joined Yassin in the second episode of the latter’s podcast titled “Nas Talks,” available on Spotify since July 15, to talk about the positive and negative impact of social media on Filipinos. Discussing the recent denial of ABS-CBN’s franchise renewal bid, the two acknowledged how the internet-loving Filipinos will now turn to content creators like them for information. Dasovich admitted, however, that he was not updated with current affairs as he had been choosing to stay away from news and politics, in accordance with his “golden rule.” “I just have to stay more away from politics. I kind of have a golden rule, it’s I try to limit and not talk about politics because you’re always going to upset ... » Learn More about Vlogger Nas Daily to Wil Dasovich: Influencers cannot stay away from politics

K-drama actress Seo Yea-ji, 31, who has in the past week been embroiled in controversy over how she had allegedly controlled her ex-boyfriend Kim Jung-hyun, has lost a slew of endorsement deals.

In the wake of the scandal, her lead role in an upcoming drama, Island, which was due to start filming in June, will be recast. In addition, a former staff member from her management agency has spoken up about her alleged verbal abuse, threats and unreasonable behaviour in an explosive tell-all. The anonymous post gave details such as the actress yelling at the staff over small mistakes, blowing cigarette smoke into their faces and checking their phones to ensure they did not record her behaviour.

Nas Daily (left) and Wil Dasovich (right). Image: Instagram/@nasddaily, @wil_dasovich Wil Dasovich has addressed the Nas Daily controversy after being called out on Twitter for his statements that he said were taken out of context. Dasovich went trending on the social media platform after he and his fellow vlogger and friend Nuseir Yassin, otherwise known as Nas Daily himself, had a friendly discussion on politics and influencers in the latter’s podcast on Spotify. The Filipino-American vlogger was later slammed by netizens for apparently advocating “toxic positivity” and for choosing to stay away from politics when vlogging. He clarified in a new video, however, that this is “far from the truth.” For one, Dasovich admitted that his “golden rule” quote – where he said he chooses to stay away from politics so as to not “upset a huge group of people” – can indeed look bad if taken out of context. He also clarified that when Yassin disagreed with him at one point with the quote ... » Learn More about WATCH: Wil Dasovich addresses ‘golden rule’ backlash, appeals for netizens to know full story

Dear Lloyd, I have this experience of reaching heights and becoming successful in what I do. Recently, it was a totally different story. When success is no longer there — and failure suddenly meets me face to face — what do I do? Mar Mar, A few years ago, I did a motivational talk before two real estate giants in Manila during their sales kickoff rally. Most companies do this every year. Back in the prepandemic days, there were face-to-face meetings. They gathered their sales people and hired a motivational speaker to speak and try to encourage their people to sell more this time as the speaker tried to equip them with knowled ge, wisdom and stories. Hopefully after the one-hour program or so, participants would leave the venue with inspiration and drive to face the new year and yes, painful or not as it was, make the best effort to hit their quota for that period. It’s amazing to see their mix of emotions — from being happy to being excited to being afraid to being ... » Learn More about Success causes us to fail

In the 10 or so years since she first became famous, Lena Dunham has been many things. She has been a wunderkind, a writer-director-actor-producer of both feature films and television series, voice of her generation, David Remnick mentee, Golden Globe winner and representative of liberal white privilege. She has been a Vogue cover girl, newsletter maven and subject of social media shaming. Also head of her own book imprint at Random House, endometriosis and hysterectomy survivor, and oversharer. She has been so many things, in fact (seriously, has it been only 10 years?), that it is kind of extraordinary to realise that one thing she hasn’t been is that increasingly beloved side hustle of almost anyone in the public eye: A fashion designer. Of course, that may be because another thing she has been is an often unfairly mocked presence on the red carpet, subject of cavalier memes and style police cruelty. “I am not,” she said recently, “a celebrity who’s ever been asked to ... » Learn More about Why Lena Dunham is championing high fashion for plus-size women

They are actually at home. Their parents, Elvin and Esther Foong, devised "Naph School", an amalgam of the first two letters of the children's names, after the family were asked to self-isolate under a leave of absence (LOA) request.

SINGAPORE (THE NEW PAPER) - One was asked whose bodily fluids she would like to drink, while another watched her peers re-enact an incestuous rape scene. These were just two examples of the sexualised activities that hundreds of freshmen were made to participate in some of the National University of Singapore’s (NUS) orientation camps in the past two months. Some students said they attended the camps to make friends, but they were instead pressured to take part in increasingly sexualised activities. A 19-year-old freshman whom we shall name Chloe told The New Paper that she left the room after she became uncomfortable during an activity called “burning bridges” that required her to answer inappropriate questions.

Its chairman Nurul Nuzairi Mohd Azahari said the TVET programme currently did not cover the hotel industry and it could a play a vital role in helping the unemployed. “The hospitality sector is not just about housekeeping. “There is also the front office and food and beverage department where on-the-job training can be offered, ” he said, adding that such training programmes could help reduce the country’s unemployment rate. “There may be some who want to enter a new industry but find it risky as it would incur cost to undergo training. “With TVET, they can get training on the job while receiving some allowance, ” he pointed out.
