If you are treading the highways of Quezon City, you can spot a small bar erected along Visayas Avenue, where people who have the passion for love and life gather to celebrate music and appreciate one another’s art. A sanctuary hidden beneath the city lights and the noise of the metro, The Conspiracy Garden Café fuses together good food and good music along with Philippine culture and art.

Is it true that our movie industry is slowly fading? Well, if records and recognitions are to ask, no its not. Our very own local films continue to be critically and commercially renowned. It is not just locally acclaimed but internationally acclaimed as well.

Before the coveted title Miss World 2013 was given to her, 23 year-old Megan Young was a lovely and sophisticated celebrity. She is an actress, model, VJ and now a beauty queen. Just like everybody, Megan’s road to success is not just overnight. It is the result of all her hard-work and patience. Yes, 2013 is her year but before she was hailed Miss World 2013, who is Megan Young? Do we all know her?
Megan Young auditioned for GMA-7’s defunct reality-artista search “ Starstruck: Season 2” back in 2004. She was part of Starstruck Final 6 but didn’t made it to the finals. Despite her loss, Megan was cast on GMA-7 shows like “Love to Love” (2005) and “Asian Treasures” (2005). Movies came in her way as she was part of romantic flicks “Lovestruck” (2005) and “Say that you love me” (2005). After becoming a kapuso artist, Megan made a big career decision and she transferred to GMA-7’s rival station, ABS-CBN.
