“Under a Piaya Moon” and “Last Shift” Win Big at Inaugural Puregold CinePanalo Awards Night

I love the cinemas because, as a fashion stylist who once worked on movies, I've seen first-hand how films were made, and I'll tell you, it involves blood, sweat, and tears (of anger, frustration, and joy, haha). From the conceptualization, planning, production, execution, shoots, post-processing, screening, etc.-- it really takes a village-- a city even. So, I was super excited to attend the Puregold CinePanalo Awards Night and film screenings. It made me so proud of all the participants, not just because of their passion and dedication but also because of the inspiring stories they put out in the world.  Read on to know more...

"Press Play" on Life with FWD Insurance

A lot of factors can make us take a pause on life and put our plans on hold. One example is the pandemic. When the whole world came to an abrupt halt 3 years ago, it also meant putting a stop to a lot of things like school, travelling, outdoor activities, businesses, work, and life in its entirety. But this lost time also resulted in a lot of self-reflection and discoveries-- new passions, new hobbies, new outlook on life, new priorities, new understandings, new perspectives, new strengths. And it's not just the pandemic, factors like budget, responsibilities, time, lost opportunity, fear & uncertainties could contribute to your "list" -- list of businesses you never got to set up, adventures you never had, dreams you never unfolded, plans you never started. But life is short (with the last 3 years as proof) and it's about time we stop pushing things to the back burner, start living the life the way you want. Stop holding back and press play on life!
