The A to Z of Nadine Lustre
This lovely girl is celebrating her 21st birthday today, and we're making an A to Z of Nadine Lustre to celebrate this occasion!
A is for Adventure Time, her fave TV show of all time.
B is for blue, her favorite color.
C is for Candy Girl. Did you know that Nadine appeared on the pages of Candy? Go flip through the pages of your issues from 2009 now and let us know if you find her photos! ;)
D is for Diary ng Panget. DNP is Nadine's breakout movie and was a huge hit.
E is for eldest. ICYDK, she is ate to 3 younger siblings.

F is for filters. Did you know that Nadine isn't into using filters when she posts photos on her Instagram?
G is for gamer. Growing up with 2 brothers, Nadine used to play video games a lot before she became so busy with her career.
H is for Halloween. This lovely lady was born on October 31, 1993.
I is for Instagram. Safe to say, she loves taking beautiful photos. Just take a look at @nadzlustre on Instagram and you'll see that she knows how to take post-worthy photos.
J is for James Reid, her onscreen partner. They're known as Jadine.
|via helloandies.tumblr.com
K is for Katy Perry, her favorite foreign performer.
L is for legs. Her favorite body part? Her long legs.
M is for Miracle. The name of her character in Talk Back and You're Dead and Never Talk Back To a Gangster.
N is for "No Erase," a song she did with James for the movie soundtrack of DNP.
O is for OTP. Her #OTP with James is probably one of this generation's most beloved pairings, ever. Go over the trending topics on Twitter and you'll most probably see a trending topic related to these 2 teen icons.

P is for Pop Girls. Before she pursued acting, Nadine was part of the girl group managed by Viva Entertainment where she was the lead vocalist. Yes, this young lady can sing and dance and act. Triple threat, yes?
Q is for quality time. For some much-needed Me Time, Nadine usually loves staying in her bedroom.
R is for Rico Blanco, her fave local singer.
S is for Storyland, the TV show she hosted over RPN when she was 9 years old.
T is for Talk Back and You're Dead, her second movie with James which was another box office hit. Of course.

U is for underdog. Her first lead role in a movie was underdog, Eya, for DNP. She won the hearts of Pinay teens because her struggles were the struggles of young girls, too. Hello, pimples!
V is for Viva, her managing company.
W is for Wansapanataym. After Jadine signed an exclusive contract with TV network, ABS-CBN, they starred on Wansapanataym's month-long special, My App Boyfie, which trends on Twitter every time it aired.
X is for boXing (we tried okay!), how Nadine stays fit.
Y is for Yassi Pressman. Nadine considers Yassi as her best friend in the industry. The 2 appeared together in her second movie.
Z is for zesty. Anyone can attest that this young star is full of life. You'll totes love the sound of her laughter because it's super infectious!
Happy 21st birthday, Nadine! Tag her @hellobangsie on Twitter to wish her a happy birthday today, Candy Girls. And don't forget to follow us @candymagdotcom, too. :)

Bored this quarantine? Ever heard of the #chloetingchallenge? Since you got a lot of time in your hands, why not try Chloe Ting's workouts for free? YES! You heard it right. For FREE!
Aside from the fact that you can do it comfortably inside of your home, it doesn't require any equipment. You just need to be present! If you don't have any yoga mat, you can use a towel instead. For weights you can just use your body weight or water bottles.
Don't worry, based on my personal experience (and for others who already tried it) it's quiet effective. Tho the 2 Weeks Shred is a bit repetitive but some of the programs are not. If you are already curious about Chloe's programs, here's the link: https://www.chloeting.com/program/
This is a drawing and a poem I've made for a summer love. Our time together was short-lived but the feelings were not.
"God's Gift"
On a platform we stand
Faces seen all in a blur
Relentless searching led by a spur
To find someone, to feel something
Aren't we fools to waste away time?
To look for one man's treasure
Somewhere as ephemeral, as fragile
As a bond built in crime
But aren't we just like every weary heart?
Hoping for an oasis
In the midst of the desert
Wanting to quench our thirst
Aren't we all like frosted windows
Of old and battered houses on winter?
Wishing for the sun to give us warmth
To melt the facade so we can show what the inside is made
Aren't we maven pretenders?
A Casanova? A Temptress? Who made us this way?
A sly fox? A ruthless hunter?
Let down the walls, It'll be okay
Rushed for a hug, now no hesitating
Engulfed by a sense of bliss or was it longing? Eyes wide-open,
Stepping on a quicksand I embraced the fall into the deep end
Gazed at you lying there unaware With you, found something rare I swear
Realization dawning as loud as a thunder
As the Beating of your heart put me into a deep slumber
Waking up from this reverie
Truth slapped me back to reality
Two worlds so different, now I see If only I could I'd be anything and anyone you need me to be I'm the ludicrous clown, you see
Thought if I ruin it first I'd be free
From the doubts brought by my own insecurity I was so wrong,
What a tragicomedy Brought by the month of April
We rushed the ticking of clock to May Hands interlocked
Weaved skin to skin on a rainy day But when June came to say hello, all went dark grey
What was once there ceases to exist Like the wilting of a flower
Once so beautiful, so full of life Now turned into dust by death's kiss
Unbounded joy brought by your presence
Paralleled with the perennial ache of your absence Yearned for and offered seventh heaven
Now the heart weeps for evanescence
A mirage, to be the fair maiden The sorrow to find out I'd end up our own villain
But all's well for you are but a distant dream Gamaliel, You are, I knew it from the very beginning .
Written by me, the one-shot story
Coffee is about a girl who used to cherish moments with someone in a cafe. Sometimes, a simple drink can leave an imprint on someone's mind. ____________________________________________
It's been a year since my boyfriend and I broke up. I love him and he loves me too but things just didn't worked the way it should be. Now I'm heading at the cafe where we started and ended. I have no choice but to go there after all it was made up of both happy and sad memories. But that's life , right? We can't be happy all the time. Challenges come and hearts can break. But it doesn't just end there.
"One signature coffee , please." I said as I ordered from the cashier.
"What size?" she asked.
"Small." I said.
Then she took my payment and I headed towards the seat near the window. A window seat.... for two. The cafe was surprisingly full tonight unlike the past few days.
Again, I have no choice but to sit on that window seat. It is where we sit often. It is our seat. Our place. There are a lot of couples at the cafe and wow I'm alone. There's a part of me which says you should be happy because he's not the only guy in this world. Another part of me says you're still hurt so don't pretend to be happy. The truth is , I am both happy and sad. I'm happy because we're both free and we can focus more in our careers. But I'm sad because I'm not the other half of his heart anymore. I'm sad because I let him go even though I still love him. I'm sad because I can't see him. I'm sad because I can't share this relaxing coffee shop where we can chill with the aromatic smell of the coffee.
"Small signature coffee?" the waitress said as she serves my coffee.
"Yes. Thank you." I said.
"Since you're a regular customer here, we would like to give you this item for free." the waitress said. She handed me a purple journal with the name of the cafe on it and a pen.
"Oh thanks." I said .
"Enjoy your coffee!" she said.
I took advantage of using the freebies from the cafe. A window seat is also a bonus in inspiring me to write something. While sipping my coffee my brain and my heart began to function smoothly.
And so I wrote: My coffee has been cold lately, I can't feel anything after taking a sip and there's no heat to leave a pain on my lips. And it was a relief. But then, I remember one thing about sipping a cold coffee instead of a hot one: cold coffee doesn't leave you any marks when you sipped it, just like a blunt feeling. But a hot coffee will leave you a remarkable pain from the heat which reminds you that you are alive to feel....
I closed the journal and stared at the window. He was the coffee. The hot coffee. No matter how our breakup hurt me, he left me a mark and a lesson to learn. A hot coffee can be a challenge too or an obstacle. They all made you feel that you are alive. That you can go on with your life. You can still stand up. Love taught me to move forward. He taught me to be stronger. He is love.
One of the proudest things as a fan is the feeling that you are part of their growing fandom and stardom. From streaming their songs online, watching their music videos, TV guestings, collecting photocards, albums, lightsticks, attending to their concert and fan meetings surely, you're a fan! But there's a problem, MONEY.
It's really heartbreaking when you hear that members of your favorite band are coming and their concert is just around the corner but here you are thinking of how to sell one of your kidneys just to go to their concert (kidding).That no matter how much you try to save, it will never be enough for a ticket because you are only a student who has limited resources or if you're an adult, you have bills to pay. So joining a "team bahay" livestream is your last resort, but sometimes even those links don't work!
Of course if there's team bahay there's also "team airport/ team labas", fans who waits at the airport hoping to see their idols upon their arrival. How we wish we could also attend and be part of it, something like shouting their names, fanchants then cry out of happiness while waving their lightsticks or banners. What a concept isn't?
Hey, cheer up! being broke doesn't make you any less of a fan. Know that there are other ways to support and love them. For sure our idols have the same and equal love to us no matter what "team" we belong (team concert, team airport/labas and team bahay).Maybe for some people, they might think we are being overly dramatic without knowing that for us fans, their existence itself and music saved us and made us happy once in our lives. -Gwy June 16,2020

Ford introduced its newest offering and instant classic, the Ford Bronco, on Tuesday. The title of an article on Car and Driver said it best, "2021 Ford Bronco Is Here, and It's Everything You Hoped For." The Bronco is one of those iconic vehicles that needed to be rebooted. I remember salivating as a middle schooler seeing the Bronco II, and this is way better. The Ford F-150 has a perennially profitable vehicle for the company, hopefully this can be as well.
Apparently, the option market may be feeling similarly as option volumes were over two times the average. Calls in yesterday's session traded more nearly three times puts with around 30,000 contracts. Around 60% of the volume got filled at the ask price and only 5% got filled between the market. Over 10% of the volume occurred on the 31 JUL 20 $6 call option at over 37,000 contracts. With a majority of the call volume coming on the buy side, this gives a bullish near-term focus for the price.

The aim of this paper is to review the microbiological quality of food samples taken from a wide range of cooked and raw foods obtained from restaurants and sweet shops in the Ramallah and al-Bireh district, and to identify the gaps in food inspection and handling that can be realistically improved. Utilizing food sample test results of the Palestinian Ministry of Health, records pertaining to the years 1995, 1996, 2000, 2002, and the first 2 months of the year 2003 reveal that only 60.9%, 44.0%, 63.8%, 93.6%, 51.8%, 83.8%, and 50.4% of the food samples tested for total aerobic count, total Coliform, faecal Coliform, Staphylococcus aureus, faecal Streptococci, moulds, and yeasts respectively are within the limits of the Palestinian and International standards. None of the tested samples for Salmonellae or Clostridium perfringes were positive. Analysis of the data indicates an irregular rather than systematic process to testing. For example, 60.4% of the tested food samples in 2000 came from sweet shops, while the relative percentage of sweet shops is 21.4% out of the total restaurants and sweet shop figures in the area at the time. In contrast to what would be expected, most of the samples were collected during the cold season, raising questions as to the suitability of testing procedures and guidelines. Systemic and procedural gaps were identified by the analysis that can be addressed to at least contain, if not completely eliminate the presence of foods in the market that are unacceptable for consumption.%B Int J Environ Health Res %7 2004/11/17 %V 14 %P 443-52 %8 Dec %@ 0960-3123 (Print)

Though the footprint of the hall bath did not change, we did gut the entire room. The client had the idea of a classic black and white look for this bathroom. The designer added add interest with a thin black border on the white tile chair rail. The same thin border was also used on the floor to create a basket weave tile inset. A strip of Absolute Black granite tops off the white knee wall that separates the tub and toilet. Relocating plumbing is always a challenge in existing apartments. That is why we try to work with existing stacks and pipes. In this case, the new tub filler faucet was relocated 12-inches from the existing location and placed on the knee wall.
To accommodate the small footprint of the bathroom we used a 24-inch pedestal sink, round (not elongated) toilet and tub that is 4-feet 6-inches long (rather than a 5-foot standard tub. However, the new tub is 32-inches wide (the old one was narrower) which is more convenient for a shower tub.
A frosted glass panel was placed on the knee wall to give the owners privacy while taking a shower—as you can see the window is across from the tub. A new showerhead was reinstalled in place of the existing one. We used a special rod with a cap–in addition to its use as a curtain rod, it also acts as a support for the glass panel.

Our newest custom modern home, located in the heart of McLean, Virginia measures just over 8,700 square feet.
Situated on a beautiful lot on Old Chesterbrook Road, the modern home design takes advantage of the lot's natural contours and sight-lines. Spread throughout three levels, the home contains five bedrooms, six full bathrooms, one half-bath, and a three-car garage.
The main level of our modern home design features an open-floor plan designed to entertain family and friends. The entry flows into both the grand dining room and the central area, dedicated to the kitchen, breakfast and a double height great room that opens to a large outdoor deck with picturesque views of the expansive backyard. Located just off the garage is a functional mudroom that features plenty of storage space. In addition to a large home office and powder room, the entire left wing is dedicated to a private master suite with an expansive custom his/her walk-in closet, a master bath with a rainfall shower and a free-standing soaking tub with his/her vanities.
The upper level of our modern home design features three generously sized en-suite bedrooms with full baths and closets with a full-size laundry room with plenty of storage space.
The lower level of our modern home design also features an en-suite guest bedroom with full bath and walk-in closets amenities. It also includes an expansive recreational room with a glass enclosed wine cellar to house your prized wine collection. To finish out the lower level, we added a full exercise room paired with a full bath with direct access to the outdoor terrace and complimented the house with plenty of storage space.
The materials we used for our modern home design are of the highest quality brands. We wanted to hand-select materials that would last for years to come, require little to no maintenance, and compliment the modern aesthetic of the home. The home features aluminum-clad oversized windows, Nichiha rectangular siding, and brick with a pastel finish; all brought together under a vacation style hip roof.
Overall, we wanted to create a modern home design that feels like a retreat but still offers all the required amenities a family needs to keep up with the fast pace of Northern Virginia.

"This year should have been special."
Another gaming event has been cancelled due to the coronavirus outbreak, as this time Paris Games Week has announced it will not take place this year.
Event organiser SELL (Union of Publishers of Leisure Software) announced via a blog post that the show, which would have marked the event's 10th anniversary, could not go ahead due to the "technical and logistical complexities" of organising PGW in the current climate.
"This year should have been special, with a line-up full of new releases, and an anniversary edition which we were thrilled to celebrate with you," the team added. "We are already preparing next year's edition and are looking forward to seeing you again."
A number of gaming events around the world have already been cancelled due to the coronavirus, including GDC, Gamescom and E3, but PGW was due to take place between 23rd-27th October, making it one of the latest shows to have been cancelled so far. Given the severity of the disruption and uncertainty caused by COVID-19, I wouldn't be surprised to see further cancellations in future.

Good for you tan_98016 !
On my side, in addition to the amber light and the sub which never switches off, another abnormal behavior occured : since yesterday, when I switch ON or OFF the soundbar, there is a huge "clac" sound produced by the subwoofer (it never happened before yesterday - I'm still wire connected to avoid having the permanent amber light)
Please BOSE advise ! (it's urgent, I'm afraid it will damage the sub ?).
@Brian_M: with such behavior, can I still rely on your statement that it will be resolved by a simple firmware update ?
@Sevmeister, I think I remember you also have this "clac" sound (sorry, I did not took time to read again the 21 pages of this topic !)
Mar 14, 2017
Thanks Sevmeister
I think I will consider removing the wire (despite the amber light) .... because I'm not sure such huge loud noise is good for the sub ...
It's strange because I'm using the wired connection since several months and it only happened yesterday for the 1st time
Mar 27, 2017
Not me .... but I'm leaving in France, that's probably the reason
update: I have been approched too to test the future update. But the BOSE community admin email talks about an update able to fix the low bass level ... nothing about the amber light ... wait and see ...
Mar 30, 2017
Me to just hope this is the 'ONE'
Aug 30, 2017
Hi all,
I have had a ST300 since a few months and I recently purchased an AM300 sub. Surprise, I ran into the amber light problem and tried mostly everything that has been posted on this thread. None of it worked. My interpretation of the problem (could be completely off of course) is that the SoundTouch running firmware 15.x has issues at triggering the update on the AcoustiMass sub, that is probably outdated.
Last night I tried something that, surprisingly, seems to have caused a successful update of the AcoustiMass. I don't think that the CC button on the remote actually triggers a forced firmware update, it seems to be actually just triggering a hard reset of the soundbar (loosing all the settings and calibration). I managed instead to force an update using the soundbar REST API (there exists a Bose manual with a bit of documentation of the API, found it googling around). Open a web browser on a device running in the same wifi network as the soundbar and go to the following URL:
http://<ip address of your soundbar>:8090/swUpdateStart
After this, my soundbar started updating itself and, most importantly, I got the white blinking light on the sub that should signal an ongoing software update. Since then I have not had yet any amber light problem.
Let me know if it works for you guys as well!
Thanks for this feedback c0rr4d0 : I will try tonight !
Apart from the CC button (which is really supposed to force soft update, at least according to several BOSE messages on this community - Teletext button is the one to simply reset the soundbar to factory settings), I already tried another method to force firmware update.
It was given to me by a BOSE technician when I first called them to report the amber light issue:
- first download the firmware on your computer at https://downloads.bose.com/ced/soundtouch/soundtouch_usb/index.html?l=fr#soundtouch_300 (french BOSE website, I guess it also exists in english)
- then, using a computer connected to the same network than the soundbar, use your browser to go to http://<IP_adresss of your soundbar>:17008/update.html
- a menu asks you to locate the firmware file on your computer, then, once selected, it launches the update
Of course this method did not work for me (I tried it again after the last firmware update), but I will try yours : I keep you informed
Well C0rr4d0 I tried you method : unfortunately it did not resolve the problem in my case
The command you suggested is indeed launching a forced firmware upgrade, but it's exactly the same process than holding the CC button on the remote:
- the wifi light is flashing for a few minutes
- then the soundbar restarts (2 lights flashing amber during a few seconds)
During the process, I checked the light at the back of AM300 : no flashing, it remains steady white, so no update
After restarting the soundbar, I have the amber light again (and the AM300 light is permanently steady white, even with the soundbar OFF)
Thanks anyway for your help !
