The Voice Kids Philippines Season 2 Grand Champion Elha Nympha Goes from Chasing Her Dreams To Helping Others Spark Their Own

At the young age of 11, Elha Nympha made her dreams come true by winning the second season of The Voice Kids Philippines, one of the most watched reality singing competitions on television. Now at 19, the young artist just launched a new track titled Spark the Dream which brings inspiration to listeners to realize their full potential and make their aspirations a reality.

Listen to it now: https://open.spotify.com/track/66IU3UEOvD0TT796p3eTaQ?si=893731b74159453a

‘Spark the Dream’ is also the official theme song of JA SparktheDream, a financial program for kids launched by FWD Life Insurance, in partnership with Junior Achievements of the Philippines (JA Philippines), which aims to teach students from all over the country about financial literacy and empower them to be positive contributors in their communities.

While the track inspires students to chase their goals, it also aims to bring out a more relatable story of every Filipino who wants to fulfill their dreams and maximize their opportunities. Sharing how the song resonates with her personal journey, Elha maintains that despite fulfilling one of her dreams, she still considers herself a dreamer. She explains, “It’s an anthem [that you listen to] kapag down na down ka at gusto mong mabuhayan ulit then you have this song. You can sing it and get inspired so you can believe in yourself.”

When asked which part of the song is her favorite, Elha shares, “There’s this line in the song it says, ‘Wake up now, I believe in us. Let’s make this dream a reality’. I think that’s the most powerful line.”

As a professional artist, Elha now welcomes new opportunities. But she recalls that when her father died nine years ago, she and her family had to make ends meet by selling banana-cues. “Bente pesos lang yung kitain ko, masaya na ko doon. Ang laki na nun for me! Pero narealize ko yung halaga ng pera because, of course, you have to buy the necessities but ang mahal ng mga bilihin.”

But despite the hardships, singing has helped her come through thanks to the help of her mom and aunt who taught her singing techniques and developed her talent.

Which is why when she auditioned for The Voice Kids eight years ago, she held on to her dream to become a well-known singer and perhaps inspire others.

Elha acknowledges that despite her rise as an artist, going through the process will not always be easy. “Deep inside we still have a lot of struggles, especially mentally. However, I want everyone to know that while I started from zero, I am still working towards reaching one hundred,” says Elha, referring to her journey towards success.

The young artist also reveals that she allots a percentage of her earnings to give back to her family and community to share the fruits of her labor. “I have this thing na when I get my paycheck, at least 5% of that will be donated to our church or we’ll organize a feeding program with the help of my fans. In my family naman, since I’m the breadwinner, pinapaaral ko rin yung three siblings ko.”

Not forgetting her roots, Elha hopes that her story, new song, and the JA SparktheDream program will be able to inspire more kids to learn the value of money and financial skills as she thinks that would help them to be smarter with their choices. “As a 19-year-old na nangarap din before, the kids who will be a part of this [program] are going to be super lucky! So, maximize it and don’t waste it kasi it’s free!” Elha concludes while laughing.

Known for his exceptional acting skills and soulful singing voice, Seo In-guk has captivated audiences with his talent and charm. With his fan-meeting tour finally extending to Southeast Asia, fans in the Philippines are eagerly awaiting the chance to meet their beloved idol in person.

Another milestone is the Short Shorts Film Festival & Asia 2023 Global Spotlight Award for TRAP directed and starred by Seo In Guk himself. He’s also reported to star in a new fantasy drama called Death’s Game with actress Park So-dam later this year.

It won’t be his first time in the Philippines, though! During the filming of the film No Breathing (2013), did you know that they shot some scenes in Davao. Last year, he was also interviewed by Filipino media for the promotion of his single album “Love&Love” released under Warner Music Philippines.

Seo In-guk's fan-meeting in Manila promises to be an unforgettable celebration of music, acting, and the unwavering support of his dedicated fanbase. It's a rare opportunity for fans to witness the magic of Seo In-guk's talent up close and personal.

Home Improvement Tips: 5 Cost-Efficient Ways to Spruce Up Your Home

As we’re halfway through the year, it can be a challenge to keep your home a haven for the family and guests. Re-modelling and renovations can be costly, so you can begin with small but inexpensive ways to tidy and liven up your home instead.

Here are some ideas for your home improvement plans:

1. Choose monthly subscriptions with better value for money.

Your home should be able to cater to all your needs whether for work or entertainment, but it shouldn’t take up a chunk of your monthly budget. Look at your monthly subscriptions for cable, internet, or streaming services then assess if you’re really getting your money’s worth. You might want to stick to a few or switch to one with better value for money.

For an internet subscription, it’s recommended that you don’t overspend by getting the right speed for your daily needs. SKY Fiber offers affordable options at speeds that are just perfect for casually browsing online, streaming shows, or working from home.

Their Super Speed Plans are made faster until December 31 because of the free speed boost promo right now. For example, you can get the 20Mbps Plan for only P999/month, but experience speeds up to 30Mbps until the end of the year. For more bang for your buck, opt for the Plan 30Mbps priced at P1,299/month which provides up to 75Mbps speed at no additional cost until the end of the year.

2. Rearrange and reorganize your living and workspaces.

Changing where your table faces while working or where the couch is placed for resting can make a huge difference. Try to rearrange your furniture and reorganize your rooms differently. It’ll be a refreshing sight and encourage you to clean up around the house. You might also find that moving your workspace to a place with more sunlight and less noise makes you more productive.

3. Declutter and sell preloved items online.

Avoid piling up clutter because this can make your house look messy. Identify which items, appliances, or devices in the house which you rarely use. If they’re broken or unusable, it might be time to let them go. For those that are still working, consider giving them away or selling them to make some extra cash.

As long as you have a reliable internet connection, you can easily sell your pre-loved items on various secondhand buy-and-sell platforms or social media. You can also download various apps to help you in messaging buyers or managing deliveries.

4. Invest in sturdy furniture, appliances, and storage when needed.

If you need something new for the home and you’re willing to splurge a bit, think long-term. You should be getting items that can last you for years and help you keep the house neat. Consider purchasing good quality multipurpose furniture such as couches that double as extra beds or ottomans that can become storage spaces. You’re not only getting multiple uses out of them; you’re also saving space for yourself and your family.

5. DIY simple home improvement projects.

Little fixes and details such as changing dim light bulbs, making a hanging garden, or adding a fresh coat of paint to the walls and furniture can immediately brighten up your home. While you can hire someone to do these jobs, doing it yourself or ‘DIY-ing’ is a good way to save some cash. And don’t worry, there are several resources and tutorial videos you can watch online to guide you.

For several of these tips, getting a reliable internet connection can go a long way. Take advantage of the ongoing promos for SKY Fiber Super Speed Plans which have free boosted speeds until December 31 and free installation until July 31 when you present one valid ID.
