The Hong Kong Sinfonietta has spent decades trying to make classical music feel less like a members-only club. The orchestra’s CEO, Margaret Yang, says the belief that classical music concerts are exclusively formal affairs is outdated and restrictive. This is why she is taking classical music beyond the concert hall. The Music in Films festival, launched in October with Movie Movie – the film and lifestyle brand under Hong Kong cinema chain Broadway Circuit – features three recent films that...

Imagine a world where perfect matches are effortlessly made. Some people spend their whole lives searching for the right match in life and career. A lot of trial and error goes into creating something that balances the best of both worlds. Think of an extroverted friend who adopts an introvert, a cold day paired with the perfect jacket, or the right song for the right mood. But one match we seek every day, especially those with busy schedules, is the perfect coffee fix.  The popularity of oat milk as an alternative to cow's milk in coffee has recently surged. While this means a lactose-free option is now widely available to more people, it also means coffee choices have become more diverse. In response to growing demand for oat milk, Oatside has become one of the top oat milk options for coffee shops nationwide.  Gone are the days when school all-nighters and graveyard shifts meant relying on convenience store coffee, with limited choices that were often too sweet, overwhelmingly rich or lacking in flavor. In some cases, these ready-to-drink coffees taste more like the cans or bottles they come in than actual coffee. But those days are over. The real thing is finally here to fuel even the busiest days.  Oatside's Coffee Latte balances expertly roasted coffee with the brand's signature creamy roasted oat milk in a single 240-milliliter serving, sealed for freshness.  "We wanted to make a good oat milk coffee fit seamlessly into everyday life, from the morning commute to that afternoon pick-me-up. Oatside Coffee Latte brings that cafe-style experience wherever your day takes you," said Mario Dagdag, country head of Oatside Philippines.  At a time when consumers are craving craftsmanship and authenticity, Oatside is on a mission to prove that convenience does not mean sacrificing quality. Still plant-based, trans fat-free and lactose-free, the coffee offers a quick, quality fix for those who want their daily caffeine fix. Each bottle is priced at just P39, making it accessible to students and young professionals who want their daily coffee without spending too much.  Oatside understands what daily coffee drinkers look for, especially when a good cup can set the tone for the day. The Coffee Latte is available at major convenience store chains across the Philippines.

4/5 stars Winner of the best director prize at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, La Bola Negra – the new film from Javier Ambrossi and Javier Calvo, collectively known as Los Javis – is a staggering cinematic tapestry. It functions as a speculative adaptation of a famously incomplete 20th century literary work, a heart-wrenching coming-of-age drama set at the height of the Spanish civil war and a sprawling maximalist epic of queer representation and acceptance spanning more than 80 years. La...

In line with its anniversary celebration, Target Pro by Watsons introduces Femtech Lab, a breakthrough hair care line that puts the spotlight on the scalp, recognizing that it needs as much care as the face and the rest of the body. Femtech Lab believes that the secret to healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp.  Femtech Lab addresses women's health and beauty needs through AI-powered screening technology and laboratory expertise.

It features the trademarked ingredients ScalpZen and Prunizen, which help address scalp concerns and promote stronger, fuller and thicker-looking hair.  For those looking to promote hair growth and address graying hair, the Anti-Hair Fall Root Renew Scalp Serum offers another targeted solution. Formulated with Baicapil and Kerascalp, it promises visible results after 12 weeks of consistent use.  Reset your scalp with the Anti-Hair Fall & Clarifying Shampoo, which features a clarifying and rebalancing formula.
