Cebu Next

It's out tomorrow! So honoured to be a part of the list with these talented & humble Cebuanos. Please grab a copy of Zee Lifestyle's December issue.

(L-R) Vito Selma, Matteo Guidicelli, Slater Young, Vania Romoff, Mia Arcenas, Holly Dychangco, Raleene Cabrera & Kryz Uy
Photography by Dan Douglas Ong Creative Direction by Melo Esguerra   Shot on location at Cebu Yacht Club ❧ some behind the scenes photos to add to my previous blog post [via iPhone].. We were all suffering under the sun and it felt like the hottest day of the month.  Look at everyone squinting/ scrunching up their foreheads! We also had solo shots taken before everyone arrived for the group photo and I had to wear the first dress I had under the kaftan. I forgot to bring a slip! No choice but to layer or else I'd be flaunting my undies... Thanks to Mia for the beautiful kaftan and cuffs ♡  It was a really fun photo shoot even if we had to look away from the camera after every shot (cos the sun hurt our eyes soooo much). We all knew each other well so you can only imagine the amount of jokes we cracked in between the serious poses. We all look so prim and proper, right? Don't be fooled! We're a wacky bunch.  Thanks so much to Zee for including me in this lineup. You guys are always so supportive and accommodating every time I visit. Can't wait to see the full spread!

Took a break from wearing my typical plain/all-black + blue denim ensemble by pairing a printed bright top with pink shorts. Both pieces are from Folded & Hung. 

the CANDY Style Guide

Candy was kind enough to send me a copy of this month's issue plus their first STYLE GUIDE.

It's great to be recognized by Candy, especially because it's the first magazine I subscribed to when I was just a teenager. I can't believe just this year they've invited us to perform at the BFF Camp and now I'm gracing the pages of their publication. 

Please grab a copy! I am under the category "edgy" with Laureen.

Unleash your true fashionista with the Candy Style Guide

Candy makes dressing up a lot more fun with the Candy Style Guide! Featuring hot looks from your favorite Hollywood celebrities and local fashion bloggers, the Candy Style Guide helps you discover your true personal style that matches your unique personality.

Associate fashion editor Sam Potenciano says of finding your own style, “This book isn’t about forcing you into a pigeonhole or telling you that you have to be one singularly defined thing. It’s about helping you find the tools to grow into the style you love and develop into the fashion superstar that you’re meant to become.”

Take the style quiz to find out if your style is classic, edgy, girly, boho, indie, or glam. Then, be inspired to dress up like fashion icons Lauren Conrad, Jessie J, Lily Collins, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, and Alexa Chung who embody the same style.

Have fun experimenting on different looks to find the one that best suits you. Take a cue from fashion bloggers Camille Co, Laureen Uy, Tricia Gosingtian, Danika Navarro, Kryz Uy,  Reese Lansangan, and more as they share their fashion tastes and give Candy girls advice on being confident and owning your personal style.

The Candy Style Guide also features a checklist of must-have fashion pieces for all six individual styles to help you build your fashion arsenal!

Grab your copy of the Candy Style Guide, available in newsstands, bookstores and supermarkets nationwide for only P175. For more of Candy online, visit www.candymag.com, become a fan on Facebook via  Facebook.com/candymag, and follow them on Twitter via Twitter.com/candymagdotcom.

the Islands Souvenirs window display at Ayala Center Cebu

I had to see it for myself! I dragged Riz to take my photo at the store after performing at the activity center. It took her about 10 minutes to successfully take this photo without blur and bits and pieces of people's heads in the frame. There was a guy who just observed us while we laughed our heads off and it took him the same amount of time to ask Riz "is that her on the window?" I will take it as a sign that I've successfully baked my skin 2 shades darker.

Thank you to Islands Souvenirs for including me in this campaign! I was shocked like everyone else at the amount of happiness and color I was able to pull off.

MEG magazine's Music Issue (August 2011)

♥♥♥

It makes me smile seeing my mom pick up copies of things we're on... *sentimental music on* Growing up I was always too insecure to even imagine that I'd land on some glossies or the newspaper for doing things that I actually loved/enjoyed. I guess there's always that awkward stage in your life wherein your self-esteem's just... in the pits (mine lasted for years). I don't always write about features here but compiling them on one post just makes me SO thankful that I have things to look back on and look forward to even if I'm packed with things to do for school and work.

Please grab copies of Meg and Zee Lifestyle to read the full articles, friends! :)

Tumblr Royalty on the Philippine Star

ALL PHOTOS BY HANNAH REYES

(L-R) Seph & Shai, Tricia, Saab, Walkie Talkies, Don, Rob (on the floor) and Regina (not pictured since she left before we could take this group photo at the end of the shoot)

Fashion // Art (Saab arrived late so she's not on our photo)

LOL.

You can read the article ONLINE. Or read another one related to it HERE. Both written by Karen Bolilia!

(Scans from LoveChic. Posting a clearer photo of this for y'all tomorrow!)

♥♥♥

"We at Young Star thought it was about time to meet the Royal Tumblr Family. The kings and queens of site traffic, and appropriately armed with weapons to keep their kingdoms in order: the cameras, the laptops and the iPhones and Blackberries for good measure. If the Internet is their castle, then empowerment is their creed. After all, the medium is the message to the royal subjects: whoever you are, you are your most socially lucrative asset. Follow the leader? How about being one yourself."

So this is the result of that photo shoot at Salon de Ning with fellow Tumblr peeps... I love that our photos show that we're a pretty fun bunch! It was a really fun shoot and it was nice being part of a group that was composed of really cool bloggers... Got to meet Seph & Shai that day, and I find their blog really cute and unique since they run it together and post fashion-related things as a couple! Met Don, one of the founders of the awesome Pelikula Tumblr which we were all fans of! We didn't even know he ran that blog until these photos & the article came out so you can only imagine how everyone reacted on Facebook ("OMG I'm a fan!").

Saab, Rob, Tricia and Regina are all pretty known on the local Tumblr scene and they were actually part of the first few people I followed when I opened my personal Tumblr... They all have their own thing going on with their blogs, which should always be the case! I'm guilty of not putting on too much effort to actually write on there, simply since I've put up this blog first and feel more comfortable posting here... My Tumblr is more of a dumpsite for my photos which will link you to this site, and on rare occasions I reblog. Riz's site is pretty cool too, especially when she gets so many notes on her music and covers! Our band page (WalkieTalkiesMusic) rarely gets notes for each post but we use that as the band's site, so they chose that to add something different to this group (music blog).

Oh, and we were on the radar!

This angered quite a number of people. :P

Oh and so many people asked the same question Saab and Tricia asked, "Where's Ramon?"-- this article focused on the younger bloggers. Young Star Philippines. Oh gosh. :))

Sammi still has my copy, but here's a twitpic of how it looked like on print:

Oh sheeesh I look so unapproachable indeed! :))

Here are screen caps from the online version:

Me with the short hair...

and then wearing a WIG! LOL!

I can't stop laughing at this photo. I remember everyone calling me "madame" during the shoot. MWAHAHAHA!

Tricia!

BJ!
