AEGIS celebrates career-spanning legacy with a Christmas concert!

The year-end event redefines the concert-going experience with “select” orchestral arrangements and special guests

Filipino music icon AEGIS is set to stage a concert that aims to capture the spirit of the holiday season.

Dubbed AEGIS: The Christmas Bonus Concert, the year-end celebration marks the first time that the OPM stars will be serenading their fans with Christmas-themed songs as well as their career-spanning Greatest Hits set.

The concert will take place on December 20, 2023, from 8:00 p.m. onwards, at the Theatre At Solaire in Paranaque City, Metro Manila.

Backed by an orchestra and rendered with intricate arrangements that elevate the experience of listening to AEGIS live, the concert finds the Pinoy vocal powerhouse at the top of their game, celebrating with fellow Filipino people in expressing gratitude for year-long blessings and love, and for the opportunity to spend more time with family during the holiday breaks.

“It’s hard to imagine the Christmas season without music that signifies humanity and love,” AEGIS shares in a press statement. “We feel that this concert is a great way to uplift our spirits during trying times. We want this event to be as festive and colorful as possible, but at the same time, we want to perform with the goal of spreading happiness and positivity among those who are yearning for something to make them feel at home.”

Tickets will go on sale this Friday, October 13 at exactly 1:00 pm via Ticketworld outlets nationwide and their official website.

AEGIS: The Christmas Bonus Concert is presented by True Creators Studio, Upplause Events, and Solaire Resort Entertainment City, in partnership with event management partner, GNN Entertainment Productions.

Christmas with Grief

Christmas is finally here. It is a season filled with joy and merriment. However, not everyone is experiencing happiness during this festive time. For people like me, grief is a challenging reality that needs to be dealt with even when the city is glowing with fairy lights and carols are playing on the radio. Grief can be a downer, but it does not mean the end of the world.

I have survived several Christmases while grieving. It is not an easy endeavor, but it is doable. Here are some tips that I can share on surviving Christmas with grief:

  1. Exercise- Working out can give you a much-needed energy boost. It can inspire you to continue moving throughout the day. Here is a Christmas themed workout that I have been following lately:

If you are not the type who journals in paragraph form, you can give bullet journaling a try. Here is a video to get you acquainted with the system:
