A Change Has Begun

A powerful surge of energy current caught our August issue that resulted into reinventing our handy event-zine Circuit to a much bigger format. We now present our newly improved and upgraded issue.

This enhanced version will give more spice and electricity to our city lifestyle. Going beyond the usual small size party guide, we promise to highlight more leisure activities, guides, and finds that will stimulate the vibrancy of city living.

Circuit gives you our Sexy issue and we are privileged to have Ms Cherie Gil on our cover. She earned our respect from her excellent acting abilities for both film and stage. Truly, Cherie’s character is one of the personalities that attract a diverse group of people from the film industry, theater buffs, fashionistas, and soap opera cult fanatics. Her distinct technique in the delivery of her lines manages to keep everyone, as the cliché goes, breathless. Known for her iconic statements as well, Circuit admires her wit and creativity. No doubt, with Cherie as our first cover girl for our reinvented maiden…

July brings in the endless UAAP and NCAA collegiate league spirit! It’s that season to cheer our lungs out and wear our alma mater’s colors. Although college may have passed, there’s no denying that we can’t get enough of the great school battles. Thus, we came up with this month’s theme, “College Classics.”

In this issue, we go beyond sports with features that appeal to the new campus icons: The Jock, The Geek, The Hipster and The Preppy. Where do you see yourself?

For jocks out there, we spotted a new superclub with that screams hot celebs and swank! Flip to theCircuit Open Bar where we give the details of the newest toast of the town. Before you head to this spanking, new night spot, don’t forget to spritz on some scent of attraction like the Axe Twist.

Geeks (who admit that they are), on the other hand, must check out these two frequented hubs in town where you can indulge your food fancies and bring out your inner party cheetah.  Hop on to our Circadian section and know…

Our voice was heard and now we look forward as the new leaders of our country take oath of office. Though we all had different candidates in our list, let’s respect the leadership that the majority has chosen. Let’s all work together to achieve one goal.

In the spirit of Independence Day this month, we at Circuit are very much inspired to uplift our nationalism. Enter our Freedom issue, we’ve got the voice and we’re ready to give the loudest shout-outs on being distinct and on the freedom of choice. Read through this month’s fully-packed edition to know more about the events, the stories and the people who celebrate freedom.

Flip through our Circuit Breaker that celebrates our progressive pop culture through our “Pinoy Pride List.” The list gives you our hot picks in music, books and movie. For Circadian, we bring you to a new café-slash-ink-hub that has new boho spelled all over it.

Speaking of freedom, Team Circuit will embrace hot, exciting changes in the next coming months. We can’t wait to show you fresh, new ideas that…

This May will be busy for citizens of Circuit. The four weeks could go by so fast you barely have time to think at all. So better to gear up and update yourself with all the events that are about to come.

The first week of May is Boracay Bound, now on its 9^th year. It always promises to raise the level of Great Island partying. I am expecting more fun activities to match the fascinating personalities joining this year. I look forward to our Boracay Bound daytime games as it never fails to release all our innate competitiveness while the night shindigs unleash the party beast in us.

Mother’s Day falls on the 2^nd Sunday. I promise myself to spend the whole day with my mom. The plan includes having brunch at M café and swinging by the newly renovated Power Books at Greenbelt 4 for some book shopping. And before it gets too hot, we’ll go for some nail-spa bonding to get away from the sun for a while. And for dinner, follow me at www.twitter.com/JR_isaac so I…

This summer, splash some color into your life.

Our April issue is oozing with vibrant shades to keep you feeling upbeat and on a high (no pun intended). We’ve got colors that can either define or dictate your moods and emotions. Check out our Circuit Breaker for essentials on how you will paint your summer this hot month.

For the Boracay pilgrim, we’ve prepared your newest “to-do-list” in the Summer Party Capital.  Scratch out the cliché “been there and done that” because there’s still so much to discover at the island paradise besides the pristine waters and powdery sands.

There’s also a new “must-try” food hub in the Queen City for those planning to have a hot, romantic rendezvous in the South. It is definitely one of those places that will heighten your senses and satisfy your most intimate cravings. Know it first in our Cebu Feature page.

Have a bright summer everyone!

February 2010 starts with a double celebration: Chinese New Year and Valentine Day fall on the same day, the 14th. Can you imagine how the different establishments will prepare for this day?

Without a doubt, these various bars, clubs and restaurants will come up with some unique party concepts that will marry these two auspicious occasions. I believe that on this date, it would be awesome to be up and about and be in a frenzy.

Here are some checklists from Circuit team for those partying on the 14^th of February:

• Make sure that you plan ahead and book your reservations in advance.
• Expect slow moving traffic in densely populated areas on the Big Red Letter Day. Ergo, find alternate routes early.
• Parking can be quite a hassle so keep your cool when looking for the next available slot.
• Check out the coolest treats and unique themes that establishments have to offer.
• Make sure you log on to www.circuitmag.net or stay tuned to Circuit TV (Wednesdays, 8:30PM on Skycable Channel 25) and Circuit Radio (Thursdays, 8AM on Jam 88.3) for the freshest…
