Unique Phôt of the Gymer Transformed Into the God of Wealth

 

Wishing for luck and fortune, young man Tran Thien Bao (26 years old), working as a fitness trainer, transformed into Than Tai - a deity in belief culture. The icon brings money, wealth...

In recent days, the image of Bao transformed into the God of Wealth, which has become a hit on social networks. Boo said it took about a week to prepare clothes and accessories for this disguise.

"I want to take a special set of photos to preserve memories of the Lunar New Year 2024. I chose the God of Wealth clothing to dress up because this is a familiar god to every household, associated with luck and fortune. I also want to bring a little joy to the people struggling to make a living on the streets," Bao shared.

Bao dressed up, took photos and brought 50 lottery tickets to give to workers in a market, on December 24 of the lunar calendar. “I give away lottery tickets because I hope everyone around me will have luck. The God of Wealth is a god present in many families, whether poor or rich, we all deserve to receive good luck in the New Year," Bao shared.

In his makeup, Bao cleverly showed off his muscular, toned body. Bao said it was the result of non-stop training for 8 years. Before having his current desirable body, Bao was a guy with low self-esteem about his skinny appearance, weighing 52 kg while being 1.75 meters tall. At the beginning of training, Bao had to overcome a lot of psychological pressure and suffered injuries when practising with incorrect technique. Currently, Bao has a perfect body with a weight of 70 kg.

One day before the opening, the giant dragon mascots with swaying heads and "roaring" sounds on Nguyen Hue Flower Street, District 1, were completed, and many miniatures took shape.

The highlight is the pair of dragon mascots at the beginning of Nguyen Hue Street, near the People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City. The pair of dragons called Two Dragon Trieu Lien has been completed, winding and intertwining symmetrically on the flower road, creating a highlight for visitors.

Each dragon is about 120 meters long, setting a record for the size of mascots appearing on the flower street in the past 21 years. The dragon's bodies are colourful and crisscrossed over 10 meters high, creating a beautifully decorated ceiling.

The two dragon heads have a majestic appearance. The head size is about 2 m, 3 m higher than the ground. The pearl-holding dragon's mouth, 50 cm in diameter, is simulated with opaque mica plastic, containing a light inside. Inside the neck is a sound system and door gears to make sounds and sway to welcome visitors.

At the end of the flower street is a dragon in the grand scene of Nhat Dai Thang Long, with an area covering more than 1,000 m2, winding around. More than 90% of the materials used to create the mascot are made from bamboo, rattan, and bamboo fan blinds, which are environmentally friendly.

The character Elio is a teenage gay boy who is relatively closed in on his thoughts. The Guardian newspaper praised the performance: "Clamet's acting is excellent, especially the scenes expressing sadness. He contributed to the tenderness of the film."

Vogue commented: "His uniqueness and charm break the standard of a guy's physique on screen. In particular, Timothée has never tried to be muscular, which only increases his appeal." You spread the gentle, seductive beauty of men."

In Dune (2021) - a film that won six Oscar awards, the actor plays 15-year-old prince Paul Atreides - heir to the Atreides family - on the journey to adulthood. According to Vogue, the character Atreides represents a satirical element of the concept of toxic masculinity in superhero films. "The peace and happiness of the planet rests on the shoulders of the weak young man in the cinematic landscape of Marvel-like films. This is a contrast deliberately chosen by director Denis Villeneuve to show a rejection of masculine images in superhero movies," Vogue wrote.

 

Check In Mu Cang Chai Village

Indeed, the weather is genuinely captivating in Mu Cang Chai these days. Golden sunshine and blue sky dispel the 3-degree-Celsius cold in the highlands. There is no ripe rice, nor is it the flood season, but the spring of Mu Cang Chai (Yen Bai) makes people's hearts flutter with the pure color of its flowers.

This year, the flowers bloomed early in mid-December. Up to now, many trees have bloomed bright pink, beautifying the Mong village with spring color. For the Mong people in Mu Cang Chai, this flower signals early spring when people prepare farming tools for the new crop. This year, flowers bloomed right on the occasion when the temperature in Mu Cang Chai got only about 3 degrees Celsius, so each petal was even more intense.

La Pan Tan Commune is the place with the most beautiful and most charming flowers blooming when the flowers creep into the villages and the flowers spread pink on the mountain slopes.

 

Tea Planting Hills

 The most beautiful time to enjoy the landscape of flowers is early in the morning (from 7 a.m. to 8 a.m.) when the sun has just emerged from the mountains, the first rays of dawn shine through the misty white clouds and from the sky, and then from tea planting hills. The flowers and leaves of the cherry and apricot are immersed in the warm rays of sunlight and reflect the light, making them brighter. A sweet, clear pink color stands out on the green tea hills, and the sky is filled with beautiful morning light.

3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. is also a good time to visit and take photos at O Long Tea Hill. The perfect blend between the lush green of young tea leaves and the pinkish color of flowers and cherry apricot leaves amidst a spacious, quiet space creates an extremely comfortable feeling for visitors.

Wake up early to watch the sunrise and hunt clouds at Da Phu Hill, a destination 8 km from the city. It would be a mistake not to mention the experience of cloud hunting and "red" dawn there. When the sunlight appears, the tops of the plants sparkle amid the fog, creating a picturesque scene. However, visitors should note that the road to the top of the hill is a bit difficult, so you need to prepare a substantial vehicle.

"You should be at Da Phu around 5am or earlier so you don't miss any beautiful moments of nature in the early morning," a tourist guide said. Standing on the top of the hill, visitors not only witness the magic of a new day but also immerse themselves in the natural beauty of Da Lat.

Boat Upsided Down in Venice

 

A group of tourists suffered immediate consequences for ignoring advice to stop taking selfies.

According to Daily Mail, 5 tourists recently suffered terrifying consequences when they deliberately ignored safety warnings while travelling by boat on one of the famous canals in the capital Venice (Italy).

The tourists freely walked around on the narrow boat, posing for photos. The boatmen had to remind them to sit down and avoid walking while the boat was moving under a bridge near St Mark's Square.

However, instead of following the boatman's advice, this group of tourists deliberately ignored it. Just a moment later, the boat overturned, causing everyone to fall into the water.

In videos shared on the TikTok platform, this group of tourists was seen trying to cling to the overturned boat and trying to climb onto another ship passing by. You can clearly see the panic on the faces of these tourists.

According to The New York Post, after the boat capsized, the boatman immediately jumped into the cold water canal to help the tourists. It is unclear how the boatman escaped the boat's capsizing even though he was sitting on it together.

The page "Venezia Non è Disneyland (Venice Is Not Disneyland)" on Instagram shared information that, luckily, the group of tourists was safe and was supported with all the "hospitality and warmth" at home.

Ageless Beauty of the First Lady of Korea

 Non-invasive cosmetic therapy, a standard Korean diet and skin care help First Lady Kim Keon Hee look "ageless", according to beauty experts.

South Korean First Lady Kim Keon Hee recently arrived in the UK for a state visit with her husband, President Yoon Suk Yeol. Her youthful, "ageless" appearance once again became a popular topic of discussion on social networks. Many people commented that at 51, Ms Kim looks like she is in her early 30s.

Einas Mousa, the founder of Perla Dermatology Clinic, said that Mrs Kim's youthful face, despite her age, could be thanks to "a combination of many different non-invasive cosmetic treatments". The two most popular methods are filler injection and botox.

Filler, also known as filler, contains the main ingredient hyaluronic acid, known for its superior water-retaining ability to penetrate the dermis layer of the skin, bring elasticity, reduce wrinkles and lubricate muscles. 

Botox (botulinum toxin) is a treatment for hyperhidrosis in the hands and armpits that reduces wrinkles on the left and eyebrows and slims the jaw, shoulders, and calves. Both measures help smooth wrinkles, restore skin's water volume, and restore a natural, youthful look.

Ms Mousa also attributed the radiant appearance of the First Lady of Korea to her gentle makeup, strict skincare routine, and advanced cosmetics.

In addition to professional treatments, lifestyle factors such as a balanced diet, regular exercise habits, and adequate water intake contribute significantly to a youthful face.

G-Dragon held back tears and said that because he was a celebrity, he couldn't bear to be judged even though he was unfairly wronged.

One week after completing the first investigation and receiving negative results, G-Dragon spoke up for the first time against nasty accusations about himself.

On the evening of November 13, G-Dragon had a live interview with Yonhap News channel about the recent drug scandals that have surrounded him.

G-Dragon affirmed that he had never used drugs and did not know any entertainment facility managers or doctors who provided drugs, as rumoured.

Recently, the Korean police also admitted that they began a drug investigation with Lee Sun Kyun and G-Dragon based only on statements and did not have clear physical evidence.

When asked about his strange behaviour that caused him to be suspected of using banned substances, G-Dragon replied: "Of course, being a celebrity, I also have to be patient when people judge me. In this drug-related incident, I'm despondent."

When I was 6 years old, I started living the life of a child singer. It's been 30 years, and my body is more resilient than others.

Therefore, my gait may be odd in people's eyes.

In addition to the nature of my work, my image on television and my everyday image will be different, so that's the reason why people are so suspicious of me.

As for the stuttering way of talking, I don't know when my every word gets embellished, so I'm cautious with what I say.

I'm also under a lot of pressure, so I always take time to think before saying anything. Therefore, I often stumble and sometimes go off-topic, but I will try to improve in the future."
