K I C K I N G, B R O!

And another epic FHM issue has been released.


Congrats on your first black and white cover! I
love Ina Raymundos burning hot spread. I don't
know if I should call her a miss or a missus.
because she has the body of a miss. and the
experience and wisdom of a missus.help me out
here, guys! She just proved that 40 is the new
sexy. I also enjoyed reading Business Class Your
Life and staring at the Hotties of FHM JAV Heat.
Thank you again for an explosive issue and also
for being my guide to an ass-kicking 2015!

ITS BLACK! ITS


WHITE!

Seeing the black and


white cover of your
November made me
even more excited
to buy my very own
copy. I was wondering
whether it was
possible for you guys
to go through with
this kind of aesthetic
concept, and you
actually did! It turned
out brilliantly. Good
work, FHM team!

OH, CHINITO

I have been an avid fan


of your magazine since
forever and I would really
love it if you guys would
help me surprise someone
really special to me, my Mr.
Chinito, to thank him. He
has inspired me to try out
new things that I would
have never had the courage
to do before, like dragon
boating, hiking, marathon
running, and I love the new
me. I want to tell him that
hell always have a special
place in my life no matter
what. Thanks FHM!

My wife and I buy


your magazine every

from each other right
now so maybe you can
help us feel a little bit
closer. Our birthdays
and anniversary are

thank you!

THE
SMART POWER

The all-new ISUZU mu-X packs the power


and fun you need in an SUV, and more

UVs could fall on either of two


extremes: a wingman to the great
outdoors or a reliable family car.
This is where the new Isuzu mu-X
strikes a balance and lands smack
in the middle. It can haul your
brood on family days, but its still equally and every
bit be the perfect trooper-on-wheels for weekend
adventures. We all know of its brawny style and
functional design from the predecessor model, but thiss

new release promises even better features for a fun ride


anytime, anywhere!
The seven-seater Isuzu mu-X now runs on a 3.0L
displacement, with a maximum torque of 380Nm
@1,800-2200rpm, which provides more hatak power
to take you uphill smoothly even when its at full
capacity. While many SUVs in the market sell for
fuel-efficiency and affordability for its diesel engines,
the Isuzu mu-X banks more as a silent road rider.
Also, you get less bounce with its independent double

The Isuzu mu-X


is equipped with
a smart key called
Passive Entry and a
Start/Stop System
for turning the
engine on and off
with just a push of a
button.

TURBO POWER
Isuzus turbo diesel engine
is famous for its reliability
and efficiency.

POWER TO CONTROL
Classy black leather seats
and dash with minimal
aluminium trimming. Plus its
comfortable, and thats all
that really matters.

POWER TO
MOVE
Twelve cup
holders and
19 storage
compartments,
including a shelf
integrated on
the dashboard.

Head on, the Isuzu


mu-X sports a meanlooking mug.

Take the
Isuzu mu-X
anywhere and
itll t in.

POWER ADJUST
DRIVERS SEAT

The mu-X seats up to


seven, with collapsible
rows for different seating
congurations. Long
hours on the road arent
a problem, with its Power
Adjust Driver Seat for
your comfort.

wishbone suspension with coil spring


and stabilizer, a huge plus when you
plan to take your date on rough
off-road. That means you wont mind
more time behind the wheel while
your lady passenger sits comfortably
beside you. In the Isuzu mu-X,
everybody wins!
We know that with great (engine)
power comes great responsibility,
and the Isuzu mu-X has the safety
department all covered for the vigilant
wheelman in you. The new Daytime
Running Lights (DRL) feature
provides better eyes on the road,
and improves your visibility to other
drivers. The built-in Anti-lock Brake
System (ABS) and Traction Control
System (TCS) are essential in crash
avoidance when just pounding a foot

on the brake pedal wont save you.


Now, for the fun part: enjoy the
seven-inch infotainment touchscreen
neatly meshed on the dash for playing
audio-visual man-materials, or the
10-inch roof-mounted monitor if you
decide to have some backseat fun. All
these are just among the many cool,
functional, and safety features every
motorist deserves.
All in all, the Isuzu mu-X proves
to be a stalwart for a worry-free drive
in the city, or a bold cruise out of
town. Its a powerful machine thats
great-looking to boot. Whether youre
a family man or single and swingin,
the Isuzu mu-Xs mix of style,
function, undeniable machismo make
it a true keeper.

POWER TO SHIFT
Five-speed automatic
transmission with
sequential shift.
Swabeng-swabe ang

If we had the power to clone


hot women, wed probably
use Giselle Pias DNA.
The genetic composition
is mind-blowinglong sexy stems,
smooth tanned skin, jet-black locks,
and the bum of a Latina. Also worth
mentioning is her carefree attitude and
eagerness to learn. Case in point: Im
not sure what a late night nookie is,
but I would love to know more, shares
Giselle. Were sure a lot of you are
willing to show her that!
How does it feel to be on FHM?
Great! I cant wait to get the phone
calls from family in the Philippines
asking if thats their relative in the
magazine, ha ha!
We learned that you were here in
Manila several months back, and
that you had wanted to work with us.
If you had called us we would have
gladly obliged.
You didn't call me! But this worked out
20 FH M DECEMBER 2015

fineyou are forgiven, ha ha!


Your features are very Filipino. Are
you 100-percent Pinay?
Im actually half-Filipina, half-Spanish,
which basically means I am halfway to
becoming a beauty queen.
Right on! Are you always this
comfortable wearing minimal pieces
of clothing in front of the camera?
I am now. In the beginning stages
of modeling, it was always very
unnatural. Now as long as I vibe
well with the photographer, its very
liberating! Try it!
Well pass for our readers sake. You,
on the other hand, look amazing
even with no bottoms on. Do you
believe that no pants are the best
pants?
All day, every day, always!
And what do you do to keep those
legs ultra-toned?
Switch up the workouts! Cardio
twice a week, hot yoga sculpt, Pilates
reformers, barre classesanything
that will shock your body into not

being too comfortable.


Aside from those stems, what body
part of yours gets complemented the
most?
Definitely my behind. Its like a little
bubble butt, Ive been told. I book a lot
of swim jobs because of my buttits
so strange! I am definitely not a Kim
Kardashian, but I think itll do.
In your opinion, are Filipina women
the best lovers?
Filipina women, in general, are the
best. We are outspoken, we cook the
best food, we have great skin, and we
age to perfection. Oh, and were super
ganda. Filipinas are definitely the best
wife materialbut doesnt everyone
already know that?
Any chance well see you in town
again soon?
If I do visit again, you'd most likely
find me swimming with the whale
sharks in Palawan, getting a full body
massage on the beach, being fanned,
and fed chocolate! FH M

The New Year is coming around the


corner and you guys know that it
wouldnt be that great a celebration
without a bunch of explosions! Now,
setting aside that fireworks are dangerous,
hazardous, and environmentally damaging,
they're really just awesome to watch. So dont
let the paltry torotot be the lone star in the
revelry. There are other ways to blow stuff
facebook.com/FHM.ph

twitter.com/fhmphil

fhmphilofficial

up that do not endanger your appendages.


With the help of bona fide geeks Jan Patrick
Calupitan, a PhD Student at the Nara Institute
of Science and Technology (Japan) and
University of Paul Sabatier (France), and
Abba Marie Moreno, registered chemist, were
about to science the shit out of some ordinary
household items...

www.fhm.com.ph

DRY ICE
DOME

HOW TO: Take a garden


hose, some liquid soap,
and some dry ice. Place
the soapy water inside
a container that has an
opening you can stick the
hose in. Place one end
of the hose inside the
container and then dip
the other end in some
liquid soap. The dry ice
will "blow" some cool
smoky subzero bubbles!
THE SCIENCE: Bubbles
are basically liquids filled
with gas. Dry ice is solid
carbon dioxide; at room
temperature it sublimates
to form gaseous carbon
dioxide. Wiping cloth with
bubble solution around
the container forms a thin
layer of liquid, which fills
up with carbon dioxide as
the dry ice sublimates to
form the said gas, says
Calupitan.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
Just dont touch dry ice
with your bare hands!
Yep, its ice that can burn
your skin, who wouldve
thunk?
MESS METER: 0/5 (It
evaporates, so yeah)

CHARMING
THE
FLAME
HOW TO: Get a glass bottle, some alcohol
(at least 70 percent solution), and a kitchen
lighter torch. Put some alcohol inside the
bottle and shake it around. Ignite the opening
of the bottle. Blow air inside the bottle after
every ignition to refill it with oxygen .
THE SCIENCE: To create fire you need
heat, fuel, and oxygen. You have a lot of
alcohol in the atmosphere inside the bottle.
Igniting the inside of the bottle will cause
the alcohol to burn. Burning consumes the

oxygen inside the bottle. This causes the pressure


inside the bottle to decrease relative to the pressure
ourside. The outside pressure is able to push the
flame down the bottle, says Calupitan.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS: Even if the fire is
contained inside a small bottle, you can still get
burned. Wear gloves and wipe off any alcohol
spillage outside the bottle. Also, if possible, try to
conduct the experiment in an open-air area.
MESS METER: 1/5

GENERAL
SAFETY
TIPS FOR
YOUR MAD
LABORATORY!
1 Keep open
flames away
from flammable
objects.
2 Ensure proper
ventilation,
especially when
your experiment
involves gases.
3 Always wear
protective gear:
goggles, gloves,
and lab gowns,
especially if
you're dealing
with corrosive
agents.

LAVA
BURST
facebook.com/FHM.ph

fhmphilofficial

HOW TO: This is the classic baking


soda-and-vinegar volcano science project
you aced as a kid because you had your
parents do it. Mix up a concoction of
soapy water, food coloring, and baking
soda. Pour it inside the container inside
the volcano. Add vinegar. Watch it fizz.
THE SCIENCE: If you had listened to
your elementary school science teacher,
you would probably know how this works.
But here's a refresher. Baking soda, also
known as sodium bicarbonate, reacts
with the acetic acid in the vinegar to
produce carbon dioxide gas as one of its
by-products. Carbon dioxide is formed as

WATERMELON
NINJA
HOW TO: Get a whole watermelon and
about 200 pieces of rubber bands and
carefully place them around the center of
fruit. Keep doing so until your fruit-torturing
desires are sated.
THE SCIENCE: When you stretch a
rubber band around a watermelon, you store
potential energy around it. Add a lot of rubber
bands and your watermelon cannot contain
this huge amount of potential energy. So

this potential energy


discharges and causes
your fruit to break
apart and burst out all the sweetness inside, says
Calupitan.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS: There isnt much danger
here besides getting hit by the rubber bands. So just
stand back and enjoy the messy magic.
MESS METER: 5/5

PR ES S UR E CANNO N

HOW TO: Get a a couple of carbonated vitamin


tablets and an empty canister. Tape the tablet on
the lid of the canister, fill about half the canister with
water, then close the lid. Quickly turn the canister
upside down, and place it on the table.
THE SCIENCE: You may be asking yourself, Where
does all the energy come from?! Before you start
believing in those commercials that tell you about
the magical effects these vitamins can do for your
body, listen to what our scientists have to say. Some
medicine tablets produce carbon dioxidethe same
gas that causes fizzing in softdrinks. Trapping this
gas in a small container Causes pressure to build up,
popping the canister out, says Calupitan.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS: Again, this one is
completely safe, and is probably good for you if you
decide to ingest the spoils of the experiment.

Introducing the Beep


card: the solution
to the metros
problematic rail transit
system. Or is it?

Our
countrys
train
system
especially the Metro
Rail Transit (MRT)
sucks. Look, we just
cant sugarcoat the
disaster that it is. Its
so bad presidential
hopefuls next
year will surely be
including the train
situation in their
national agenda. Yes,
the daily commute
is now at par with
other national issues
like the yearly
budget, security, and
corruption.
Because new
trains are slow to
come, if they will
ever, the Department
of Transportation
and Communication
has come up with
this: a ticketing
system that involves
a reloadable
contactless smart
card called the
Beep card. Lets
see how it works:

THE
FUTURE

LOAD/CREDIT
BALANCE

MATTER OF
USE

You can keep


it in your wallet,
just tapping
your cash stash
instead. However,
doing so would
also clue in
pickpockets how
much youre
worth.

Theres always
that millisecond
heart attack every
time you feed
your magnetic
card into the
steel turnstile.
Baka kainin.

STURDINESS
OF MATERIAL

Its pretty fragile


for a plastic card,
so make sure not
to sit on it.

BUSINESS IDEAS

The Beep Smart Card is primarily owned


by the Ayala Corporation and Metro
Pacific Investments Corporation. So, Mr
Henry Sy, if youre planning to enter the
competition, heres our suggestion for
your smart cards name/brand: The Toot
Card. Why beep, when you can...?

It has a
minimalist
design. They got
that part right.

Sino ba ang
presidente
ngayon?

SOON, IN JEEPNEYS

If the initial run is successful, they


are also planning to introduce the
Beep card as an alternative payment
method on the Philippine Metro
South Commuter Line (the old PNR
line), public buses and jeepneys,
tollways, and convenience stores.

facebook.com/FHM.ph

Has a maximum
value of P100.
A measly four
rides from North
StationTaft
station. Bonus
ride pa yung isa.

USABILITY

Its reloadable. You


can keep the card
even if the balance
reaches zero.

DESIGN

You can
occasionally sit
on it. Take note:
occasionally.

DISCOUNTS
Senior citizens
and PWDs must
register a couple
of days and
wait for their
discounts.

One-time use
only. Itll then
get recycled
afterwards.

HASSLEFREE
TRANSFER

Recognized in all
metro railways.
One card can
be used in all
LRT and MRT
stations.

Tickets can be
used on one
railway line only.
Parang Pokmon,

them all!

PROBABLY IN SARI-SARI
STORES, TOO

Thanks to the Beep card, we


now know that the DOTC has an
automated fare collection brand
called Transpo. Potentially, you can
use your Beep card in any services
and locations in which Transpo logos
are found.

by mounting a mirror on the wall and admiring

an infinite mirror arrangement. Or mirrors in every

Morning til night

I woke up with my boyfriend's


cock poking my pussy from
behind. He loves tease-spooning
me that way. We ended up
having a quickie. After getting
some rest and showering we
went out for dinner. It was
late when we got back to the

We after all, had the house to
ourselves.
Halfway through skinnydipping. We felt cold and
decided some liquor would
help keep us warm. Things got
out of hand quickly with the
alcohol. All I can remember was
making out with him while
we were completely naked and
some portions of sexy time: I
sucked his cock as he refilled
my drink for me. He handed it
to me and started guiding me
out of the pool. I didn't want to
spoil the night so as he sat on
the edge of the pool and sat on
top of him.
He continued playing
with my tits as I poured him
another drink.
I stood up and went near
the chaser we left at the
opposite side of the pool and he
followed me. I purposely bent
down to get the shotglass and
I remember his hand gripping
my hips and while his other
hand positioned his cock inside
my pussy. He fucked me doggie
style in the open. I remember
getting so damn daring and
feeling so good as his cock
slammed on my pussy.
I can't remember anything
after that. But around dawn
I woke up in bed, naked and
his hands were touching my
tits. I kissed him in the dark
and his hands trailed down to
my pussy. I didn't know how I
got to the room. Although, he
said things got even crazier
that night.

affinity with the Force. at
a young age, he shows
his skills in piloting,
engineering, and creating
C-3PO.
Mysterious and menacing,
Darth Maul is one of only
two siths in the universe.
he ends up killing Qui-gon,
before being struck down by
obi-wan. when the movie

Padme Amidala is a senator


in the galactic republic. she
and anakin met her 10 years
ago, and an initial attraction
blossomed into a love affair.

Chancellor Palpatine,
leader of the Republic, is
rescued by Obi-Wan and
Anakin. Anakin beheads
Count Dooku.

words:

Count Dooku is a fallen Jedi.


he is the apprentice of the
sith Master, Darth Sidious,
and leads the separatist
forces in their civil war
against the republic.

The civil war revealed


chancellor palpatine to
be the sith Master darth
sidious. he orders the
massacre of the Jedi by the
clone troopers.

we see members of the


Jedi council, led by Yoda
and Mace Windu, who take
command of an army of
clone troopers against the
forces of the separatists.

anakin becomes paranoid


for pregnant padme's life,
and pledges allegiance to
the dark side in exchange
for her life. he is named
Darth Vader.

II
Obi-Wan has taken
Anakin under his wing,
and is now a Jedi Master.

III

obi-wan duels against


Vader, cutting his limbs off
and leaving him to die on a
lava-filled shore. Vader uses
his hatred and anger to keep

himself alive, until sidious


fresh from his own duel with
yodarescues the remains of
his body.
sidious grafts cybernetic
components to Vader's body,
making him more machine
than man, and twisted and
evil.
padme gives birth to twins
one boy and one girlbut dies
afterwards. yoda and obi-wan
go into exile to hide from the
forces of the empire.

In Episode IV, we find that
there is still hope in the
galaxy.
R2-D2, c-3po's counterpart
droid throughout the entire
saga, completes his mission
to deliver the plans of the
Death Starthe empire's
secret weapon - to obi-wan.
obi-wan finds and begins
to train Luke Skywalker in
the ways of the Jedi. Luke is
a quick study, even though
hes a naive boy who grew
up in the boondocks of
Tatooine.

Han Solo and Chewbacca


are reluctant heroes of the
Rebellion against the empire.
They help Luke rescue Princess
Leia from the death star and
they all manage to escape
after obi-wan is killed by darth
Vader.
Luke joins the rebel attack
against the empire and
manages to destroy the death
star just before it blows up the
rebel base.

For many fans,
the big question
leading up to The
Force awakens
is where the
heck is Luke
skywalker?
here are the best
theories weve

died offscreen
and Luke is

INTERVIEW:
MAX MAHINAY

44 FH M DECEMBER 2015

When you guys started out, did


you really set your minds to take it
this far?
Tirso [Ripoll, guitar]: I think the general
rule is, when it stops becoming fun, then
its time to call it a day.
Louie [Talan, bass]: Thats the golden
rule. Were still actively trying to improve,
actively trying to write better things,
and were having fun while doing it, and
thats all the reason you need to keep on
keepin on.
Brian [Velasco, drums]: Theres still
a lot of ideas coming out, di pa kami
sayad, kaya pa.
Twenty five years is a long time to
keep it fun. How do you stick to the
Razorback sound?
Louie: I think our choice of covers
determined the DNA of our material.
Back then I was listening to a lot of The
Jesus and Mary Chain, Cocteau Twins;
Miguel [Ortigas, the original drummer]
was heavily into classic rock and same
with Tirso. Its really getting to a common

ground, and that becomes the sound.


But it takes time because everyone has
to get comfortable with it.
Manuel [Legarda, guitar]: Its not
really a compromiseits highlighting
your common influences and making
everything fit.
Kevin [Roy, singer]: Back then, when
I wrote music for Razorback I shut
my fuckin ears from whatever other
musical sources that might influence
me. I wanted to keep us pure and true. I
blocked myself off from everything else
except for what they were feeding me.
Production-wise and taste-wise,
whats changed?
Tirso: Before, we needed to pay, like, a
thousand bucks an hour to record in a
fuckin studio. When you go in, you better
get your shit right quickly, you dont have
time to fuck around. Now, putang ina I
can set up my own studio at home, get
whacked out, and spend up to eight
hours just finding the right tone. I can
do that and enjoy in the process. The

facebook.com/FHM.ph

downside is that decisions have to be


made; now its like youre never finished.
Manuel: You have, like, 15 seconds of
brilliance, and then you want to redo
everything.
Let's say Razorback has a free
hand in changing things in the
local music scene, what would you
change?
Louie: Musicians have to be paid better.
Artists in general.
Kevin: On that thread, I just want to
share that, at present, certain artists in
the [music] scene have psychological
conditions, which is not covered by
HMO, and I find this discriminating. Im
speaking for myself here and not the
band. I find this discriminating that, lets
say I walk into an emergency room and
I have, like, a freakin anxiety attack or
something, and they'll diagnose it as a
panic attack and theyll go, Were gonna
give you a valium, or were gonna give
you something, but you know what, that
shits not covered by your HMO because

its a psychological thing. What the fuck


is that? How are you gonna take care of
your artists if you cant even take care of
their minds, which is the source of their
writing? Thats what creates the great
artiststhe imbalance, the spontaneity
and not conformity.
Have you ever considered
retirement?
Kevin: No. Theres a need, pare.
Pangangailangan 'to eh .
Louie: Ill guarantee you, we will still be
playingone form or anotherin the
next five years. Safe to say youll be
interviewing us again.
Kevin: Were doing what we can right
now because thats all we can really
count on, its just today. Tomorrow is
such a fuckin variable.
Right now, would the band
rather have a steady gig in a club
somewhere or touring an entire
country?
Manuel: Id rather go on the road. I
dont wanna be in the same place every

the early days. It can get pretty tiring, not
physically, it just gets stale after a while.
Going into the 25th Anniversary
gig, what plans do you have for the
band afterwards?
Louie: Well, were releasing eight new
recordings for some shows with Red
Horse. Were going on tour. Its very
much business as usual for the band.
To wrap this up properly, wed like
to know, who you would like to see

Tirso: Jinri Park. But I wish she had

Louie: Mrs. Rodriguez from high school,

The world Is consTanTly changIng, now probably


more rapIdly Than ever. The InTerneT has gIven
bIrTh To ThIngs lIke memes, vInes, selfIes, and
oTher ways for people who have Too much TIme
on TheIr hands To express Themselves In TheIr
own lITTle specIal kInd of way, whIch Include
buT are noT lImITed To:
That annoying classmate of yours
who always wears too much makeup
doing stupid hand signs in front of her
webcam to the tune of the Gwiyomi
Song; that neighbor of yours who
is way too young to be wearing
provocative short shorts while dancing
to the beat of Psys Gentleman; and
that KSP hipon who wears a tight
white tank top while doing the Ice
Bucket Challenge without really
understanding what its for and what
ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) is.
The list of try-hards who want
their 15 seconds of fame could go on
and on, with their pitiful creations
collecting dust somewhere in the deep
underbelly of the Internet, where
these things go to die.
The Internet never forgets, but it
is a graveyard for these things weve
forgotten, or rather, the things we
choose to forget, the things we deem
irrelevant to our lives.
This is what makes 20-year-old
viral video stars story exceptional.
A girl who honestly didnt know
what she was doing at first. She posted
a video online of her lip-syncing a pop
song. A few likes here and a few
shares there, and then suddenly,
over a million people have watched
this beautiful girl act cute in front of
her smartphone camera. Something so
simple had people spending precious
seconds of their lives on this. Why?
Because we were captivated. For a few
seconds, Kim Domingo made our heart
beat a not-so-monotonous rhythm. Is
it her lips and the way she pouts? Is
it the way she looks at us, like were
nothing and everything to her? Or is
it everything about her? We just cant
decide; so here she is on our pages so
we can take a closer look as she shows
us what it means to be sensational.
Youve come a long way from
making netizens fall in love with
you through your cute videos on
YouTube. What are you hoping
to accomplish by posing for our
magazine?
I really want to try out what I can
accomplish in show business. It seems
like a really exciting scene to get into.
Its been my dream ever since I was
young and I really hope my cover can
get me into the spotlight.

For the record, weve invited you to


a photo shoot before, but not for the
cover. This time we were willing to
bet on you as covergirl material.
This is a really great opportunity for
me and I couldnt just let it pass. So
when you guys asked me to be on the
cover, I just went with it, ha ha!
But does being on the cover of FHM
mean youve graduated from making
Dubsmash videos?
Oh no, not at all! I still enjoy making
videos when Im not too busy. And if
my fans still enjoy watching them, then
push lang! Go lang nang go! Ha ha!
What about show business do you
like?
Gusto ko lang talaga siya. Gusto ko
kasi yung nag-e-emote-emote. Gusto ko
lang talaga maging artista, bakit ba?!
Ha ha!
Ha ha, okay! Were not trying to stop
you! We would love to watch you on
the big screen. Does your love for
acting have anything to do with why
you like making videos so much?
Yeah, that probably has something to
do with it, ha ha! Its just really, really
fun, and a lot of people seem to enjoy
watching the videos I post.
We could guess why. Though we all
know the Internet can be a harsh
place, especially for personalities.
Has dealing with the negative
comments affected you?
Actually before...well, even up to now,
pinapatulan ko yung mga comments
na nakakabastos. Minsan kailangan
mo talaga silang pagsabihan kasi hindi
sila titigil. Though Ive learned that
you cant really please everyone. So
when I know Im talking to someone
who doesnt really want to listen,
Ill either just ignore them or block
their account from visiting my page
so I wont have to deal with their
negativity.
But some of your fans do give you
good advice once in a while, dont
they?
I think the best advice they have given
me is to always follow my dreams.
Lagi nilang sinasabing, Push mo yan!
Kung saan ka masaya, sususportahan
ka namin. Nakaka-touch talaga kapag
nakakabasa ako ng mga ganung
comments sa Facebook page ko. Feeling
ko talaga nakakapagpasaya ako ng
mga tao, at natutuwa ako roon.

So you really read through the


comments on your Facebook page?
As much as possible, I really do. While
I do have admins for my fan pages,
I am always the one who replies to
my fans on my personal account.
Hindi ko talaga yun pinapahawak
kahit kanino. Kaya lang lately mas
nahihirapan akong mag-reply dahil
dumadami na nga sila. Mahirap
talagang magbasa ng mga messages
minsan dahil natatambakan sila.
Has a fan ever creeped you out?
Ha ha! Ayoko nang magsalita, but
there was this one timein person
pa to!there was this guy who was
really excited to see me. He started
telling me all these stories, and stuff,
and lets just say I got pretty dizzy.
Why dizzy?
I mean he was right next to me, and his
breathha ha! I couldnt just tell him
off because I didnt want him to feel bad,
so I just kept nodding and tried to hold
my breath for as long as I could, ha
ha! Oh my, I hope he doesnt read this
and figure out it was him. Sinabi ko pa
naman sa kanyang bigla akong nahilo,
and just excused myself.

Were sure hell


understand.
When you started
posting videos on the
Internet, did you think
they would go viral?
Actually, hindi. Gumaya lang ako sa
mga friends kong nag-po-post ng
sarili nilang mga videos. Marami
kasi akong nakikita sa newsfeed ko. I
really didnt expect it to become viral
since Dubsmash was just beginning
to gain popularity at that time. Hindi
nga yung mismong Dubsmash app
yung ginamit ko noon! I just used my
cellphone to take the video with the
song Twerk it Like Miley playing in
the background. I guess it was also
luck and right timing.

What do you think got people to notice


your video among the others? Well,
besides, your obvious good looks.
Nagulat talaga ako dahil ang dami
nang ibang mga magagandang girls na
gumawa noon, kaya hindi ko talaga ineexpect na mapapansin pa yung akin.
Usually, yung sumisikat na videos na
ganun, eh from celebrities lang. I never
expected mine to go viral kasi sino ba
ako? Ha ha! Siguro nakuha ko lang
talaga yung mga tao sa padila-dila at
pakagat-kagat-labi ko, ha ha!

You seemed like a pro doing it,


though! Do you use those moves
when you want to turn a guy on?
Uhm, ha ha! May naaalala naman
akong mga eksenang ganon, ha
ha! Aminin mo, na ano rin naman
kayo ah!
Na ano?
Ah basta! Alam niyo na yun, ha ha!
Kaloka! Nakakahiya naman to!
We can neither confirm nor deny
said statement. But if you were to
seduce a guy, what song would you
Dubsmash to steal his heart?
Ahem, siguro yung O Lumapit
Ka [by Ella del Rosario], the one
that goes, *sings* O, lumapit ka
kung gusto mo akong halikanbat
kita sasawayin? Alam na alam mo
namang, itoy gusto ko rin ha ha!
Ahem, were not sure any guy
could resist that. So would you
like to follow the footsteps of other

58 FH M DECEMBER 2015

Dubsmashers and have your own


serye or something?
Oh, that would be interesting! Though
it would be scary to compete with the
other more popular tandems right
now, I would still love to have my very
own movie and/or teleserye. I would
really want to act in one.
What sort of movie would you like to
act in? Rom-coms maybe?
Gusto ko talagang mag-horror,
ha ha! Mahilig kasi talaga akong
manood ng mga ganun at feeling ko
magaling naman akong tumili!
Would you be the victim or the one
who scares all the people?
Hmm, pwede naman sigurong both,
ha ha! Whenever I watch horror films,
I would picture myself in the scene,
and imagine I was with the characters
screaming and running around.
Those parts seem like so much fun to
act out.

Were sure thatll be a hit. Do you


have any advice for people who
want to be Internet sensations like
yourself?
Ang masasabi ko lang, kung
gusto mong maging popular, just
be humble. Learn to entertain and
care for the people who follow
you. Im not saying you should
entertain every single request they
make, but try to make them feel
like you actually care for them.
Sakin hanggat kaya ko, I make it
a priority to make them feel that I
really listen to them. I dont want
them to say, Ang suplada naman ni
Kim Domingo...katulad lang siya ng
iba, nakakalimot porket sumisikat
na. Gusto kong maramdaman

pagpapasalamat ko sa kanila dahil

Do you have balikbayans from the USA


around the table this season? Make them
feel at home at homeby laying out the
trifecta of the American holiday spread:

1
TURKEY
Belle Foods
By order
0918-9098850

P4,000 for 4kg

This is a fourkilogram bird, which


isnt even a big one
because you can
have turkeys all the
way to nine kilos, and
after we sliced off an
entire family-sized
chicken portion off
it still looked like we
had enough pabo
for days. Aside from
massive amounts of
meat, Chef Bobby
Abes of Belle Foods
explains: Its a
healthier choice,
because it has lesser
fat content. Then
when you try it, you
know the taste is
really differentthe
taste can be more
bland, but it goes well
with sauceslike the
gravy [which comes
from its drippings]
and cranberry. Its
not meant to be
eaten alone. But
really guys, the
excitement factor of
having a big bird on
the table is not to be
underestimated.

CANDY BACON

Di Sc lAiMer: This will give you bacon as stiff as candy


canes. Though you will probably be hanging on to one like
a candy cane after youve tried it

cup brown sugar, two
tablespoons each
of maple syrup and
vinegar, and a pinch
of black pepper.

Heat the oven to


350F, lay the lovely
bacon on a cooling
rack on top of a
baking tray lined with
parchment paper.
if youre lazy, its
actually fine to skip
all the propsbut
have fun scraping
off all the detritus
from your oven when
youre done.

crisp the bacon for


15 minutes, then
start brushing the
strips with the glaze.

fat feasts
IngredIenTS
(good for eight servings)
3 cups whole milk
1 cup double or heavy cream
2 dashes vanilla essence
1 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg (real
nutmeg will suffice)
5 eggs, whites, and yolks separated
2/3 cup white sugar
1 cup dark rum or bourbon

3
EGGNOG

You might have heard about this drink, but most


likely have not experienced it until nowbecause
were telling you its not that hard to make. What
does it taste like? Christmas, basically. But if
you want to be specific, it tastes like drinking a
cookie with the delightful spike of rum following
it down your throat.

Procedure
1 combine milk, cream, cinnamon,
vanilla, and nutmeg in a
saucepan. over medium heat, bring to
a boil. once boiling, remove from heat
and let mixture steep.
2 using a stand mixer or a large
bowlprobably a large bowl
because we are men with no kitchen
appliancesbeat yolks and sugar
until combined. Thick ribbons should
form when the whisk is lifted. Slowly
whisk in the milk mixture until fully
combined. Add alcohol and stir in.
3 Beat egg whites in a stand
mixer or another large bowl to
soft peaks. gently fold into eggnog
until fully combined. garnish with
nutmeg and cinnamon sticks!

STEAK

Eighty percent of the secret to a good steak


is spending on the raw meat. Try to get cuts
with marblingthe streaks of fat running
through the muscle; fat is your friend in this
case. Now follow these tips:
Thaw it overnight in the ref. The usual
fast way of leaving it out in the few
hours right before cooking is also a highly
efficient way of draining it of juices and
flavor.

APPLE PIE
Catherines Cakes and Pies
45 Picadilly St. Alabang, Muntinlupa,
275-2615, Chito Benito

P420-840 depending on diameter

www.fhm.com.ph

If your teeth are basically


falling off from seasonal
sugar intake, why not try
mixing things up with a
nice warm apple pie? An
apple pies appeal lies
in the many contrasts.
Catherines Chito Benito
explains: When you bite
into an apple pie, you will
experience a contrast in
tastes: sweet, tart, and
salty; and texture: soft
apples versus the crispy
crust and walnuts. Lastly,
if you take our pie a la
mode, youll experience a
contrast in temperature.
That last bit is notable
because any dessert
that lets you cheat
by piling ice creama
dessert in itselfon it, is
the real MVP.

Salt and pepper it at least 45 minutes


before cooking; use a lot of salt and
pepperthe season is about generosity.

Preheat your lightly oiled pan until the


oil begins to ripple or smoke slightly,
then sear the beef for one and a half to two
minutes per sidetouching it only once for
the big flip. This makes sure it sears evenly.

I I . YULET I DE USUALS

You cant miss these Pinoy favorites. There


are a lot of options, so here are a few that try
to play it a bit differently

PAELLA

Ilustrado, 527-3674/0922-823498183,
5440 General Luna St., Intramuros, Manila

P850
One insanely time-consuming but festive dish is
paella, then you also face the dilemma between
seafood and meat to top it with. Ilustrados Paella
Ilustrado solves all your problems by doing all the
kitchenwork for a paella with both surf and turf in
it. Ilustrados Chef de Cuisine, Bernice Pimentel,
describes it (and their other dishes) as, Very
reminiscent of our lolas cooking at home; of
comfort food but to the next levelno shortcuts
whatsoever. We take the time to slow-cook our
ox tripe, pork belly, etc. until they are nice and
tender and cook them for a few more hours
with the sauces that we make from scratch.
It can also be used to one-up your neighbors
preparations because you can boast that it
actually comes from a place in Intramuros.

7LECHON

Jun & Juns Cebu Lechon, 706-2602/400-3749, Tiendesitas Unit KO4 and Commonwealth Avenue

P4,200-13,500 depending on size


We cant skip lechon, because your party is instantly 50
percent less fun (and possibly 50 percent less heartattack inducing) if a bright red pig isnt sitting on top of
the table. In fact, the roast pigs very seasonal hue is one
thing that Jun & Juns Nikki Quilicot takes extra pride
in. What makes us different from other
Cebu lechons is our skin. They [Cebuano
lechoneros] dont really care how the skin
would look, but Tagalogs give premium
to crispy, shiny, red skin. So what we
did is incorporate our roasting with the
techniques of the lechoneros from
Balayan, Batangas, whose lechon
festivals goad them to perfecting
lechon skinthus the best of both
worlds! And we peaceful eaters
at FHM are all for regionaldispute settling foods you
know.

QUICK FIX

Y OUR COMPLETE GUIDE TO HAVING QUICKIES IN THE MO ST IMPOSSIBLE PLACES

ELEVATOR

Push the right buttons


S C E N A R I O : Its late and youre
still in the office to fix some stuff for
tomorrow when your beautiful boss
shows up. You make some small
talk and unspoken sexual tension
between you two is starting to
manifest again. She puts her hands
on your shoulders and almost starts
massaging you, but the CCTV camera
kills the mood.
Q U I C K F I X : She is about to call
it quits, when you tell her that you
thought of a perfect plan. You lend
her a hoodie, and you wear one
yourself. You get inside the elevator
and face away from the camera. You
push the button of the highest floor,
and then you immediately bend her
over and concentrate on thrusting
since you guys have to finish before
you reach the top.

PORTALET

This room provides a different


kind of comfort
Youre out on
a concert with your girl. With all
the body rubbing and testosterone
evaporating into the air, she starts
to feel a bit flushed. She asks you to
come with her to somewhere quieter
and intimatenever did you expect
that shed lock you up inside one of
the portalets.
Q U I C K F I X : If you have a cologne
and/or hand sanitizer, spray some into
the air. Use a position that requires
the least amount of effort when
thrusting. Why? One, because you
dont want to be inhaling all the germs
and stench inside that cramped
space; two, sudden movement could
very well tip the portalet over.
THE SCENARIO:

TRUNK OF A CAR
Abduction foreplay, anyone?

You and your


girl are doing the naughty on top
of the hood of your car. Things are
going so wellthat is, until you notice
a flashlight beam. The park security
guard is quickly closing in. You dont
have enough time to change so you
open up your trunk and jump in.
P O S I T I O N : Making the best of
a stressful yet very exhilarating
scenario, you guys decide to continue
your shenanigans inside the trunk.
Remember to keep something lodged
in-between the trunk lid; you wouldnt
want to get stuck in there, and be
forced to have yourselves rescued.
That story spells tabloid headline all
over it.
THE SCENARIO:

womans libido is about as predictable as Manila


climate: when she wants it, we should be ready
to please, whenever and wherever. We make the
impossible possible, because thats just how real,
caring gentlemen are. You think were joking? Take
a look at how we deconstructed the tightest of spaces to have a
quickie in, with help of yoga instructor Alvin Gomez of L!fe Yoga
Studio. Because with FHM, yes, you can!

VIDEOKE BAR

Giving her your microphone


when its her time to sing

STAIRWELL

What goes up must also


come down
Worse comes to
worst and you guys didnt come on
your elevator ride to heaven. Dont fret
you have another chance going down!
Take the stairs since the security
guards might be coming (in more
ways than one) after viewing your
session in the elevator.
Q U I C K F I X : Working on your
cardio and core is key to surviving
this extended loving sesh. Gomez
suggests the Mula Bandha, a yogalike kegel technique that focuses on
controlling your core muscles and
enhancing your endurance.
THE SCENARIO:

BANG TRIKE

On patrol for some of that


pamasahe
You decide to take a
part time job as an Uber Trike and
you patrol the streets for any willing
passengers. You pull some extra OT
hours during the night and see a sexy
girl wearing a miniskirt. She waves her
hand at you. Right before you drop
her off at her destination, she says
she forgot her barya and asks if she
can pay you in any other way.
Q U I C K F I X : You stop at a
seemingly vacant location where you
can talk negotiations. You enter the
passenger seat and get on top of her.
You spread her legs so you can enter
her missionary-style. Be careful not to
tip over the tricycle, or you could add
some extra suspension on your ride.
SCENARIO:

You and your


officemates have an after-office
karaoke session. Your office crush
is now tipsy and starts looking at
you in a different way. She starts to
make out with you while your other
officemates are too preoccupied
and passionate about their Charice
Pempengco birits, or are just too
intoxicated to care.
Q U I C K F I X : If you leave the
vicinity, she might lose that tama that
makes you the least bit desirable
so you have to makes this quick.
Find a vacant KTV room nearby. Get
inside and position yourself near
the door, coming at her from behind
doggy-style with her palms pushing
up against the door. This is the best
option here so you can both keep
an eye out for any passersby that
might catch you doing the deed. Plus,
you can also push the door close if
someone starts to force it open, and
quickly duck out of sight.
THE SCENARIO:

DARK ALLEY

You, the extra friendly


neighborhood superhero
You just saved
a damsel-in-distress from a bunch of
hoodlums. She decides to repay your
kindness by kissing you while youre
hanging upside down from your web.
She enjoys it a little bit too much as
she removes not only your mask,
exposing your true identity.
Q U I C K F I X : You decide to distract
her by removing not only your mask,
but your entire costume as well.
With your crime fighting-toned abs,
you leave her in a complete ecstatic
daze. You turn her around and lift
one of her legs. You come at her
from behind till you unload your web
cartridge in her. FHM

on social media

WO R DS Ash MAhinAy
I L LU S T R AT I O N S M E LVi n C ALi n G O

LEaRN fRom THE WayS of aN INTERNET HEavy


Tricia Gosingtian, Kryz Uy, Camille Co: you may have
heard of them because a.) They are lovely ladies, duh; or
b.) Theyre the popular bloggers your girlfriend loves too.
If you want to be the male equivalent of them, then follow
the lead of David Guison, of DG Manila, local lifestyle
man-blogger and online influencer. Here, he tells us all
about his path to Internet domination.

01

start a blog

1.1 All influencers must have an actual blog. It is the


font of your power
I started my blog in July 2009. I was still in college [at
the College of San Benilde] and it was a requirement for
my general psychology classthen at the end of the term
nagkakaroon nang followers. It was just a photo blog but
through the years nag-shift siya into fashion and lifestyle.
1.2 Inventing a handle vs. naming it after yourself
Its harder if you have a certain brand [or handle such as The
Sartorialist], kasi parang nalilimit yung future posts mo rather
than just having your name. Kasi when I say David Guison,
naka-combine na yung work [and everything personal].
1.3 Dont be greedy and blog about anything and
everything at once
If youre starting, just really find your niche. Bloggers nowadays
really go for lifestyle blogs: so thats fashion, travel, fitness,
medyo broad. If you can, focus on one thing youre good atkasi
people will listenthen branch out from there. I was just into
photography but people would ask me to post selfies, my outfits,
and dun na ako nag-shift into fashion. It was a turning point kasi
wala pa masyadong male bloggers in 2010.

03

curate your
FeedvIsually
& content-wIse

02

If you can scroll down your posts without it looking


like 10 different people posting on their own
accord, you have succeeded in taming the beast.
Since Im a lifestyle blogger, my Instagram needs
to have variety. This morning Ill post an outfit, then
the next post is food or travel naman[for looks] I
want it dark and walang saturation. I follow certain
formula: I only use three filters then another app
to edit.
Bloggers have so many ideas that its really
hard to be consistent. I had a phase in 2011 where
my vibe was colorful and vivid, but now medyo nagmature na ako and mas gusto ko dark and madrama. You can change your look, basta gradual. Im
very strict on that.

get on Facebook,
Instagram, & twItter

People arent going to check your blog every hour


but theyre always on social media.
I made the shift to Facebook nung pinagtrip-an ako ng friends ko at ginawan nila ako ng
fan page. Nahihiya ako pero nagkaroon siya ng
mga likes. I was just posting everything there and
nakita ko mas may engagement kasi mas real-time
siya compared with the blog. Then when I started
Instagram, I knew I wanted to have something to
promote my blogsiyempre, I want my readers to
go there pa rin. But since you post it on Instagram
parang nape-preempt siyanakikita na nila kung
ano laman ng blog. Pinag-aralan namin ng agency
ko na mas malakas ang IG kesa sa blog. Now I post
at least six times a day.

yourselF

The long hard slog to Internet fame begins here.


Aside from quality blogging, which is completely up
to you, keep up the following:
4.1 Tag who you want to see you
I blogged for a long time without any sponsors,
but I also started tagging brands like Forever21s
international account. If they like or repost your
photo, grabe yung hatak niyakaya makakuha ng
2,000 followers overnight! Marami ngang umaaway
sa akin saying, Everything you post has brands in
it because akala nila when I tag, ibig sabihin bayad
ako. But for me thats not the point, instead of them

having to ask me where I bought something, tinatag ko na lang para makita kaagad.
4.2 Commentespecially for your early
appreciators
I follow a lot of celebrities, and when they comment
back to me tuwang-tuwa talaga ako. I would keep
a folder na may screencaps ng replies or likes nila,
ha ha! So feeling ko, if I have readers na ganun
ka-loyal, they would appreciate engagement with
the one they follow; so I try my best to reply. And
my handler says brands prefer that you have
engagement with readers rather than thousands of
followers na di naman nag-ko-commentyun daw
ang mas important.
4.3 Dont view all other bloggers as The
Enemy
The good thing about the fashion blogging industry
here is that its not very competitive. So sometimes
I refer other bloggers if may nag-approach sa akin
na di bagaylike a vacuum company, so I told
them about a mommy blogger. Then sana may iba
ring nag-re-refer to me, ha ha! Its not a bad idea
[to pass on referrals]. Also, Ive had a lot of trips
abroad, and the Philippines is the friendliest talaga.
Like sa ibang places, they dont even help each
other out with taking photoshere nagtutulungan
talaga.

If youve become an overnight sensation,


skip to step 6, otherwise:

05
stIck It out

Feeling ko there are so many bloggers


right now, and if youre just copying another
blogger or not blogging for the right reasons,
hindi na siya authentic. Wala ako sponsors
for six years, but I would still blog every day
because I was really passionate about it. I
would dress for myself. But now I dress to
entertain the readers na rin, what they want
to see.

With a blog, I know its not going to be forever, feeling ko para siyang modeling na as you get older
nawawala yung market mo. I want to eventually make it like The Fat Kid Inside or Our Awesome
Planet na its not focused na on your name, and you even have contributors. I can re-brand again, ha
ha! Right now, surprisingly a lot of bloggers have video blogs. Parang mas nakukuha pa attention ng
readersthey can hear your voice, they can see you move. Then Snapchat is mas real time pa than
Instagramand internationally there are already sponsored Snapchat posts. FHM

If youve racked up the legit following, and brands


are knocking at the door, its time to be a real
influencer (and make some bank finally).
6.1 Actually quit your job to live the blogger
life? Its a full-time commitment too
I treat it like regular work. I wake up at 6 a.m.,
answer emails until 7 a.m., set up appointments, go
to the gym, then off to events. Then at night I write
and schedule my posts to be up by 2 a.m.
6.2 learn to ask the big question
I dont always charge, and its really up to you if you
want to charge [at all], or depende sa deliverables:
Do they want just a brand mention or a whole blog
post? Usually brands wont [even offer payment up
front], ikaw ang mag-o-offer. Feeling ko tine-test
nila if this blogger is willing to give it for freepero
i-feel mo rin kung ano ang worth mo online [when
you charge].
6.3 but dont act entitled
Sa States, its the other way around, but in the
Philippines I think its a turn-off if youre the one
who approaches the brand. Dito medyo turn off if
you invite yourself to events. Usually they go to you
and not you to them. You just really have to market
yourself. Like tagging them, thats usually where
they notice you. And if they email me, I have a
sample presentation of my posts ready.

THE

NEW KID
ON THE

HARDCOURT
In Its Inaugural season,
the PIlIPInas CommerCIal
BasketBall league Is set to Be
the new stomPIng ground for
varIous ex-PBa Pros, College
Players takIng that next steP to
B-Ball stardom, and other Pro
Cager hoPefuls

o we need more basketball?


If you ask senior
sportsman Mr. Buddy
Encarnado, we do, and
thats the reason he put up
a new commercial league
to back up the big dog,
the Philippine Basketball
Association, which is now
entering its 41st season.
Encarnado, a two-time Executive of the Year
awardee in the PBA and a former league
chairman of the pro league, used to be team
executive of erstwhile PBA team Sta. Lucia
Realtors until it exited the pro league in 2010.
But now hes back, and Sta. Lucias back, in
the maiden season of the Pilipinas Commercial
Basketball League (PCBL).
As chair of the PCBL, Encarnados vision for
the new league is simple: to provide sanctuary
and livelihood to amateur players and ex-pros
who are either looking to polish their skills
preparatory to the big jump to the pros or
provide opportunity to those who were not given
enough exposure to prove themselves while
playing in the PBA.
There is, of course, the PBA D-League,
which was created by the pro league as a
middle ground for professionals and collegiate
players to hone their skills and getting
themselves equipped for the big battles ahead
in the PBA. But the league could only cover a
period of six months, leaving the professionals
(the guys who play for a living, just like any other
guy who goes to work) without a league to play
for, forcing them to play elsewhere just to feed
their families.
Ang sinasabi sa akin ng mga commercial
players [playing for the D-League] O boss,
paano kami? Ang ibig sabihin sa January pa
kami kakain? Paano yung pambayad namin sa
renta ng bahay? And at the same time we also
have so many players who, at a very young age,
are already ex-professionals. Twenty-seven
years old, ex-professional? Where will they go?
They cannot go back to college [to play], says
Encarnado.

Buddy
Encarnado,
chair of the
PCBL

We realized that there is a big void between


college and the pro league. The problem right
now is, the school-based teams, when they
play commercial, they will go back later on to
their school leagues. We want to provide a
commercial league that will give them a stable
job from January to December.
In its inaugural season, which began in
October this year, the PCBL has eight teams,
including Sta. Lucia Realty, which is making
a comeback in the local cage circuit. Other
participating teams include Caida Tiles and
Kama Motors, both teams under the company
of Racal; Euro-Med, sister company of Caf
France in the PBA D-League; Supremo Lex,
partly owned by former Sta. Lucia guard Paolo
Mendoza; Jumbo Plastic Linoleum; Cagayan
Valley, and Foton. Three more teams have also
expressed interest, according to Encarnado.
We will make sure that commercial
basketball will be like how it once was in the
days of the fabled MICAA and PABL. We hope
that this will be the renaissance of commercial
basketball in the Philippines. With more teams
out there, more companies fielding teams, there
will be more stability in commercial basketball to
the benefit of everybody, says Encarnado.

Rising stars and


comebacking
ex-pros
Carlos Isit of Mapua and Cris Bitoon of Manuel
Luis Quezon University are two stars from their
respective schools who are quickly making
their presence felt in the PCBL. Fighting it out
with ex-PBA players and commercial players

facebook.com/FHM.ph

fhmphilofficial

on vacation from the PBA D-League, Isit and


Bitoon show that they can hold their own.
Isit, a lefty point guard acquired by Cagayan
Valley, has been averaging 14.7 points per
game, and the fourth overall best scorer in
the tournament behind Levi Hernandez of
Foton, Jeff Biernes of Jumbo Plastic, and
Kama Motors Rudy Lingganay, who played for
Powerade, GlobalPort, Kia, and NLEX.
In fact, the 510 Isit has emerged as the
best two-point field goal shooter with a 71.4
percent clip in six games in the tournament.
Head coach Ronnie Dojillo has nothing but
praises for the young player.
His maturity is impressive. More than half of
the team are new, including him. They have no
commercial league experience, but Isit has able
to keep a hold of this team, said Dojillo.
Bitoon, on the other hand, came from a
league that barely had media exposure. He
was the resident star point guard of the MLQU
Stallions, but going up against tried and tested
commercial league players is different. He got
his baptism of fire in the PCBL Founders Cup
and quickly, Bitoon refused to be intimidated.
He is currently ranked no. 8 in scoring,
averaging 13.7 points per game.
JR Cawaling and Rudy Lingganay, on the
other hand, are two of the ex-pros seeing action
in the PCBL, playing for Kama Motors. During
their time as college and amateur players,
Cawaling and Lingganay were predicted to
make an easy entry in the PBA. Unfortunately,
they didnt get the breaks needed to continue
their run in the big league.
A knee injury slowed down Cawaling, once
a potent dead shot from Far Eastern University,
who became part of the original SMART-Gilas
Pilipinas then bannered by amateur players.
When he entered the PBA, the 6 3 swingmans
stock dropped, being the last player to be picked

www.fhm.com.ph

because I lead them on the floor. The players


and coaching staff want us to compete every
day at practice. I also teach the young point
guards. Im bringing the experience I learned
while playing in the PBA.

in the third round by San Mig Coffee.


At San Mig Coffee, Cawaling was like the
13th man on the rotation, only coming in to
relieve James Yap, Allein Maliksi or PJ Simon,
playing only during garbage time or in the
waning minutes of a quarter. The only saving
grace of that stint was that he was part of the
team that claimed the 2014 PBA Grand Slam.
But when Kia Motors and Blackwater
entered the league in 2014, Cawaling had to
be put on the dispersal draft. He was selected
by the Elite, but was later traded to Kia and his
career went in limbo right after that.
Like Cawaling, Lingganay entered the
PBA as a top prospect. He was a former Most
Valuable Player in the D-League who, despite
being small, had good court vision, decent
outside shooting, and good leadership qualities,
traits that made him a fit for the PBA. The lefty
guard found out, though, that to play point in
the PBA, you needed to do special things, what
with the competition getting stiffer and bigger
players also capable playing both guard spots.
Both players are now hoping to get a
second chance at playing in the PBA through
their stint at PCBL.
It was Rudy who brought me here. I tried
out and we were signed up. Were already expros even though were still young, Cawaling
said. Were not expected to produce many
points. They expect us to lead and guide the
team to victory. Were hoping to make it back to
the PBA.
Thats my goal (to make it back to the
PBA). Im pushing myself hard every game,
every practice, says Lingganay. Im not used to
being called Kuya. Every team that I went, I am
usually one of the youngest. I used to call Gary
David and Asi Taulava as Kuya Gary and Kuya
Asi. Now, its different. Im now the oldest player
here. They want me to become the team captain

Unified basketball
From the get-go, it doesnt seem like the PCBL
is out to compete with the PBA or other existing
leagues. Sports inside information has it that
PCBL chair Encarnado had written a letter
asking the PBA if it could act as a sort of fasttrack farm league to them by allowing players
from the PCBL to apply directly for the PBA
Rookie Draft without necessarily going through
the D-League. College players can play in the
PCBL as well, especially during the off season
of their respective leagues, as in the case of
Euro-Med, which features players from Centro
Escolar University.
The league may even have a few neat tricks
up its sleeve. Encarnado intends to enlist the
handful of Cameroonian and Nigerian players
seeing action in the collegiate league as
imports in the PCBL. He also plans to launch
an invitational tournament where participating
teams from the Southeast Asian region would
be invited.
By next year we look forward to a more
balanced formatting of three conferences. One
conference with local imports, all African players
in the Philippines at the moment. Lowest team
now will pick the first pick for the import, down
the line. In the third conference, we will see the
coming of ASEAN teams. Brunei, Indonesia,
Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand to be ceded in
the semis. I will tie up with other leagues in
Southeast Asia where there will be reciprocity.
We will now be able to send our teams to their
countries.
At this writing, a unified schedule for both the
ASEAN and Philippine teams is being worked
out. The PCBL has also been tasked by the
Samahang Basketball ng Pilipinas (SBL) to be
the league where future SEABA and Southeast
Asian Games players will be plucked from.

abalahin ang Gilas. But at the same time
kung makikita nila na some of our players
have gone to the level of Gilas, we will
gladly give it to them.
That will be our contribution. We are
here not to compete with any other league.
We are here to complement and augment
the existing leagues. We know where we
want to be, says Encarnado. FHM

How about shooting a duobut with

Do you think it would be fun?
Both: Syempre, [mas masaya] yung

H: Baka mas magiging halata pa na
awkward sa resulta ng picture, pag di
ka sanay sa kasama mo.
What should happen for you to be
comfy with a co-model then?
H: Siguro yung kwentuhan muna
kayo. Kahit papaano, hindi yung shoot
diretso agad.
K: Oo, kaibiganin muna, para siya
maging kumportable rin.
Is that how it works when meeting
guys too?
H: Depende, kung interesado kami sa

H: Ako naman, dati sabi ko sa friend

But nothing between you two?

Real talk: Compare


Koreans to Pinoy
men fashion-wise.
Honestly, Korean
guys are way more
fashionable than Pinoy
guys. Koreans like trying
new things and are
more adventurous with
colors [bright or neon
ones]. Pinoys kasi prefer
comfortable clothes
over stylish ones and
they like basic colors
langfor them its more
manly pag black, gray or
brown etc.
Do dancers really
have a clothing
style?
Yes! For me I always like
showing my abs, ha ha! I
have a long torso I look
better in crop tops. It
also works better for me
if I wear sexy clothesit
adds to my charisma in
dancing!
Any sexy accidents
while performing
though?
I had a gig back in
Korea [with Brown Eyed
Girls] and I wore one
open shoulder top and
that time I didnt use
safety pins since it was
already tight. But when I
started dancinghataw
intro pa lang it's falling
na, exposing my bra! So
what I did was inhale
lang para my chest will
hold the clothes. It was
really hard for me since
hinihingal ako. ha ha!
Now I always secure my
costumes with safety
pins and double-sided
tape!

AM RY

Whats your take on


men going out in
muscle tees?
Its a nice post-workout
top, but I think its too
informal on a date.
Medyo underdressed
pag sa gimmick. But
men should invest in
nice muscle tees for
beach trips!
Whats your everyday
wear?
My style is laidback with
a touch of sexy to it. I
invest on nice bras for
wide muscle tees to be
paired with jeans.
Do women really pay
attention to what
kind of pants men
wear?
Of course! Sometimes
it all looks the same to
us, but were more into
checking out how it fits.
We like a pair of jeans
that hugs your assets
perfectly, if you know
what I mean.

KAR SISON

If you could only


choose one outfit that
you had to wear for
the rest of your life,
what would it be?
It would be a black

Kar

dress kasi you can


probably pair it with
anything, like a jacket or
a scarf.
And if you had the
chance to bring back
a style of fashion
from the past, what
would it be?
Actually, love ko yung
1950s styleyung mga
full skirts, ganun. Siguro
for my wedding, yun
yung magiging theme ko.
How about if given
the power to dictate
your boyfriends
clothing?
Id like to see him wear
more preppy clothes,
like checkered polos,
pants, belt, and boat
shoes!

GAB R I E LLE
R U N NSTROM

Your features are


very edgy. Is your
fashion style the
same?
It depends. I wear girly
clothes sometimes,
but youd see me more
often in a statement
shirt, a pair of jeans
and boots. I like tight,
tattered jeans.
Tattered jeans on men
though: yay or nay?
I dont mind, so long as

Gabrielle

its not high-waisted


jeans. That screams
nerdy to me, ha ha! I
think mid- to low-rise
jeans look good on guys.
But we think the
opposite goes for
womenyou girls
look equally good in
a high-waisted pair!
I agree! But personally
I think jeans shouldnt
be too ironed or clean.
It should look rough and
well used!

YA S S I
B E N ITE Z

How fast can you


take off your pants?
If it has buttons siguro
mga one minute.
Are we talking
about your pants or
somebody elses?
If somebody elses, baka
less than one minute,
ha ha!
Have you ever ripped
someones clothes
off?
Yeah, Ive done it before.
It happened in Boracay
with my boyfriend. Kasi
you know naman, what
happens in Boracay
when you get drunk, so
ayun, ha ha!

Yassi

SHAN E
HOMAN

How much do you


spend for clothes?
Not so much kasi I
like to mix and match.
I may not have a lot of
clothes, but I see to
it that I experiment in
styling them para hindi
mukhang paulit-ulit.

What do you think


is a non-negotiable
item in anyones
closet?
Just invest on the
basics: plain tops
and pants. Wag ka
manghinayang if minsan
mapapamahal ka kasi
you pay for the quality
naman. Yun yung
magagamit mo in many
different styles.
Whats your favorite
investment in your
closet?
I have a lot of black
jeans, kasi yun yung
madalas kong suot
when attending gosees. Plus its lowmaintenance!

Whats the sexiest


thing youve ever
worn?
Sando and panties.
Para sa akin mas sexy
yun kaysa sa two-piece
bikini.
Whats your favorite
outfit to wear when
you go out?
Jeans, siyempre!
Or joggers para
kumportable.
And if your
pants were to
spontaneously rip,
what would you do?
Pantatakip ko yung bag
ko sa butas, ha ha!

MAITLAN DSM ITH

How fast can you


strip down to your
pants?
Depends. Are they
skinny? I need two
hands for those, so
probably not that fast,
ha ha!
And when was the
last time you rushed
through the process?
Does today count? No?
Well, naughty times I
guess, ha ha!
How can a guy pull
off the long tee vibe?
I think it depends on
what you pair it with. If
you have bottoms that
arent try hardnothing
thats too styled or
heavily embellished
any guy can pull it off,
its just a matter of
confidence.
Crop tops or long
tees on girls though?
Probably someone with
a crop top because, I
wear long tees! So Im
looking for the opposite.
And I think [visible] abs
are always a bonus,
flaunt it cause those are
hard to get, ha ha!

And how do you burn
off extra energy at
the end of the day?
Boxing, or I spend it

And do you believe
its important to take

Can you drink a man

Depende sa inumin, di

Before. Sa mga FHM

Hindi.
Best part of

Tough Business

Timepieces that can survive even the most


intense boardroom brawls

eal men love G-SHOCKS because they are virtually


indestructiblebut their solid forms arent exactly suit-and-tie
material. If you agree, then be ready to change your mind by
heading over to the G-Factory Premium store in Greenbelt 5. Only
the second of its kind in the world, inside this super swanky showroom
reside the analog and metal brethren of the traditional G-SHOCK models,
which combine a more mature look with the same toughness weve come to
expect from Casio. Wearing one of these high-end pieces is pretty much
like wearing a flak jacket underneath your suit coat.

Wants to try out new things with you

JERICO MONTEMAYOR

CHISE ALCANTARA

STYLING: YSRA GUARIO; MAKEUP: RHINA MONTEMAYOR FOR CLARRIA COSMETICS; HAIR: PRIN CESS JOHNSON PIONAN

GIRLFRIEND

nce referred to as Mocha


Girl Jhane, the sexy
gyrating punk hottie from
the popular girl group is
now taking her own show
on the road as a solo act. Setting aside
sometime from her busy schedule, we
made sure that the time we had with
her was well spent
What have you been doing since you
left the Mocha Girls?
Ive been modeling and doing solo
shows here and there. Im also taking
the time to vacation with family!
Solo gigs still let you do hot dance
numbers?
Well, I dance and sing, and of course
twerk! Ha ha!
Where did you learn how to twerk?
Or are you just naturally gifted with
those talents?
Marunong na ako before pero tinuruan
pa rin ako ni Franz (Fainsan, also
of the Mocha Girls) para lalong
gumaling.

So what did you learn during your


twerking sessions?
Well, you have to have a lot of muscle
control, ha ha!
Could we expect a new twerking
video anytime soon?
You can watch for them on my social
media accounts!
Other than twerking, did the other
members of the Mocha Girls teach
you anything else? We hear Mocha
(Uson) teaches lots of stuff in
her blog
Yes, maraming itinuro si Ms. Mocha
sa pag-perform and kung paano
makihalubilo sa mga tao, and si Mae
(Dela Cerna, former EB babe) naman,
ang dami ring itinuro sa akin like mga
exhibition moves na pwedeng gawin
sa show.
Do you have any plans of joining the
group again?
Sa ngayon, wala. Masaya naman sa
group pero gusto ko kasing magtry ng ibang work and besides,
nakakadalaw naman ako sa kanila
kapag nami-miss ko sila. Love na love
ko silang lahat.

So what kind of business are you


trying out right now?
All I can tell you is it isnt entertainment,
its actually more of an office thing.
Were really hoping to get you as a
sexy boss lady, then. What is your
dream job?
Um, Gusto ko in line sa tourism
industry kasi yun ang highlight sa
province ko sa Palawan. Sana in a few
years meron na akong sarili kong
office, ha ha!
If you were to tour us through
Palawan, what location would be
your main attraction?
Probably the underground river. Isa
siya sa New 7 Wonders of Nature ng
buong mundo.
Lastly, what do you have to say to
fans who will probably be devastated
when they find out they wont see you
onstage that much anymore?
Ha ha! Wala naman akong fans! Joke!
Well, magso-solo shows pa naman
ako so abangan na lang nila yun,
and siyempre, feeling ko naman
magugustuhan nila yung makikita
nila rito, ha ha! FH M

Hiking
BrEEZY
Feel that cold mountain air

The brrr months are at their end,


but were still feeling a bit bitin
here in the Metro. With all the
noise and air pollution, we just
cant seem to relax. Have you guys ever
felt like you wanted to escape it all? So
why dont you? The clouds are astonishing
this time of year, but with the amazing view
comes the chance of some drizzle. If youre
planning to trek anytime soon, better equip
yourselves with gear and tips thatll stand
firm against the forces of nature. You have
to look fresh in those Instagram hiking
pictures, dont you?

1
H Y D RAT E O N
T H E WAY U P
2-3 liters a day will
keep most people
hydrated (more
liters if youre a
masochist and want
to hike during peak
daylight hours).
Your Choices of
Liquid include:
Good ol H20, and
energy drinks.
A bit of liquor is
probably good
(but not advised)
considering the
weather. Dont get
drunk on your way
up, itll just get
tougher

PROTECT
YOURSELF
A first aid kit will
go a long way in
dealing with those
minor cuts and
bruises that you
might get while
braving the forces
of nature. Ready
some band-aids,
cleaning alcohol,
sunscreen,
povidone-iodine
(or topical cleaning
medicines), wraps,
antihistamine, and
cottons so you can
be everybodys
favorite hiker when
trouble emerges.

NUTRITION
The amount of food
you should bring
depends on how
many meals youre
going to eat during
the hike. Trail foods
are important so
you can keep
supplying your
body with constant
energy to burn
because hiking,
as you may have
guessed, is a very
strenuous activity. A
dose of potassium
and sodium can
help keep cramps
at bay, according to
our guides.
Your water
intake should be
controlled and
limited to sips
in order to keep
yourself hydrated
but not bloated
as you climb. Our
guides say too
much water intake
can make you
nauseous.

B O DY
CONDITIONING
Its always
important to
condition your body
before going up a
mountain. Knowing
and accepting your
physical limits is
very important if
you dont want to
be a liability to your
hiking team, and
look like a loser
to the hiker chick
youre with. Cardio
and leg training is
very important in
building endurance,
say our Trail
Adventour guides
Joel Grande and
Aubrey Faith
Mella. Climbing
up a mountain
when youre not at
your 100% adds
unnecessary risk to
your hike.
But when we say,
100%, that doesnt
only mean physical
but 7also mental.
Mental awareness
is crucial if you
want to be safe
in the mountains,
where literally, one
misstep could spell
grave injury or even
death. Get a good
nights sleep before
your trip to ensure

A mountain is still a mountain but


we had the Trail Adventour guides
Joel and Aubrey recommend some
beginner-friendly mountains for
people who dont want to collapse
from exhaustion on their first hike.

Rashguards,
umbrellas, and
scarves
These are also really
good options when it
comes to keeping dry, and
staying safe from violent
UV lights, say the Trail
Adventour guides.

Hiking Shoes
A must buy for every
hiker. If you only have
enough funds for just one
piece of hiking equipment
then you should prioritize
this. You should look for
something lightweight,
sturdy, stable, and most
importantly, comfortable to
wear, says Trail Adventour
Guides. The Chameleon
Shift Ventilator Gore-tex
from Merrell has all these
characteristics, and more.
Its ultra lightweight
and has compression
molded EVA footframe
that provides cushioned
landings and stability with
each step for those sharp
rocks and uneven terrain.

HOW I DID IT

I never got to finish college. When


I entered UP, I took up industrial
engineering, then shifted to art studies
for a while, then I was non-major for a
long time until I decided to just leave
school altogether.
I was a call center agent for five
years, and that's when I actually got
to go to Australia for training. But that
has nothing to do with the accent I
play now.
There was a two-year period
when I was unemployed, and I just
lived on P20 a day. I lived in Krus na
Ligas, [inside the UP Diliman campus]
maraming bakery dun na makakabili ka
ng tinapay na piso langSpanish bread,
monggo bread, ensaymada, the works.

As a kid, I loved doing


accents. Being an introvert,
I didnt have many friends.
Mostly I stayed at home and
entertained myself by telling
myself stories of what I saw
on the street. I also watched
a lot of cartoons. That, plus a
lot of idle time, and the ability
to copy accents, made for an
entertaining time when I was
a kid.

I also hung around carinderias


that were about to close for the
day, kasi alam kong ibibigay lang din
nila sa akin yung mga tira na ayaw
nilang itapon. So that's how I got by for
those two years.

Luck played a big factorbeing in


the right place at the right time. So
what if I can do a Filipino-Australian
accent? A lot of people can do that.
But why am I here instead of them?
We just come up with good oneliners, we don't really think of the
bigger picture. We don't even know what
will happen next. That's how we work.
With Comrade Boris, we were
hoping that "adult" brands will come
on boardyou know, condoms, male
supplements...but those brands just
stayed clear of us, so what Boris got was
like, anti-allergy medicine.
I come up with characters all the
time, but sometimes you just have to
admit that no matter how good they are,
some of them just wont fly. Oh, I really
don't want to talk about those other
characters, it's un-publishable! Well, it
got...dark, let's just leave it at that.

Then I worked as a production


assistant for The Front Act Show
at RPN. I got to work there because
one of my bandmates at Penguin was
a production manager, and I got paid
P250 a day. Sometimes I was only
needed for one shoot a week.

Nothing too political or religious.


Id rather not go there.
It used to be that no character was
off-limits, but now that Im a dad, I really
think about the kind of characters I want
to put out. Im now looking at educational
programming for children. Why? It's for my
daughter, so that she can have something
to watch on YouTube.

It had a radio show as well, and I


called up the show pretending to be
a listener from Australia who can also
speak Bisaya.

I can't really explain how my videos


went viral, because you can't always
guarantee what will go viral. I'd say it's part
luck, but we always made sure that we had
good content in the first place.

That's how Jako [de Leon of


PaperbugTV] discovered mehe
was already thinking of a Steve Irwin
character who, instead of hunting
crocodiles, was hunting people. None
of his talents could do it.

120 FH M DECEMBER 2015

In our first episode, on the


Philippine Snatcher, I looked very
different. That wasn't even my vest, so
hindi siya kasya kaya iniwan na lang
naming bukas. I didn't have a belt, tali
lang yun, pero hindi naman nahalata
kasi naharangan ng tiyan ko. And we
shot the entire thing over a lunch break.

Oh, I'm not richif everything works


out, I might be, but there's still no
guarantee. I'd say my money right now
is moving. I'm part owner of Hoy Panga!
[grill restaurant chain]. Because of those
low years of my life, I'm now very careful
with moneyI never want to go back.

ROBOTS
STEAL
YOUR JOB

Thankfully, murderous rampaging


robots are years away. In todays world,
a more real danger is robots spying on
everything you do. Exhibit A: Google
Street Voyeur.
Not only are the robots listening
in on you, theyre also watching you.

Google Street View helps you navigate


around town, but it can also watch
you making tambay at the corner, or
drinking outside your house. Its just
another sign that thanks to technology,
privacy is fast disappearing. The robots
are watching, so go put on a shirt.

KILLER ROBOTS

Military drones are a regular thing in war


zones now, but they have human pilots flying
them from miles away while making pew
pew sounds from the safety of their military
bunkersthats all set to change soon.
Military weapon systems are being developed
to take the slow, stupid meat bag out of
the loop. In the future, drones will
be able to select and attack
(human) targets without
humans telling them
to shoot. Yes without
humans.
If you thought
unmanned aerial
drones were your
only problem, think
again, upright monkey.
A company called

Boston Dynamics, which works with the US


Department of Defense, has built a six-foot
tall, 320-pound humanoid robot named Atlas.
The idea is to reduce the risk to military
personnel in war zones, but its not difficult to
see how this idea can go terribly wrong.
All these killer robots doing stuff on their
own is enough to freak out some seriously
smart humans, like Stephen Hawking, Elon
Musk, Steve Wozniak and others.
They released a letter at
the International Joint
Conference on Artificial
Intelligence in Buenos
Aires warning that
autonomous robots
could set off a global
A.I. arms race and
potentially be more
dangerous than
nuclear weapons.

KILLER CARS

THE PHONES
HAVE EARS

Never mind that your phone is


snooping on everything you do. It
can also literally listen in on you. CIA
whistleblower, Edward Snowden,
ratted out the American government
and their nefarious practices
online. Among his more disturbing
revelations was that they could
activate the speaker of your mobile
phone without you knowing and
without your consent. In case youre
wondering, yes, thats what Batman
did in The Dark Knight when he was
looking for the Joker, but without
the fancy sonar stuff and the good
intentions.

Before the robots rise up and kill us,


they will take over the workplace. In
fact, theyre already doing it. Boston
Consulting Group estimates that by
2025, up to 25% of jobs will be replaced
by smart software or robots. Robots
already beat us at chess (IBMs Deep
Blue beat Grandmaster Garry Kasparov
in 1997), and Jeopardy (thanks to IBMs
Watson), so why stop there?

Meanwhile, driverless cars are being developed


by everyone from Google to Volkswagenand
surprise,. They might kill you. The reason is
probably not what you think.
For one, driverless cars arent about to
go on a road rage, and just like airplanes on
autopilot, bots are probably better drivers than
humans. The problem is security. Hackers have
been able to shut down a Chrysler Jeep while
it drove down a highway. Theyve also been
able to confound the LiDAR system (which
uses lasers like sonar uses sound) used in
many driverless cars. The hack can mimic the
signal of pedestriuans, or other cars. Or a wall.

iSNOOP

Siri, that deaf-as-a-doorknob voice search


assistant in your mobile phone, has a little
chunk of speech recognition A.I. in her,
and shes up to no good. Thats because
your phone is keeping track of everything
you do online: the queries you feed Siri,
the sites you read, the stuff you buy, the
posts you like, and the porn you watch.
Facebook, Google, Apple, Amazon all
do it to deliver more targeted ads and
recommendations, and sell you more stuff.
Facebook is free, those Android games
are free, iOS is free because, well, lets
face it: youre the one on sale.

They've been at it for a
while: China's opened its
first fully automated robot
factory, while Foxconn, the
electronics giant that makes
Apples iPhones, plans to
have 30% robot workforce in

Robot Everything Else


In some US hospitals, robots
aid doctors in diagnosing
illnesses and performing
surgery. There are robot
ticket booths, robot waiters,
and oh yeah, robot drivers
who will finally put an end to
the Uber or Taxi debate.

or worse, at work, when your boss
might walk in on you. Tempting as it is,

When things dont work out

Book review
One time, my
crush went on
a booksale date
with me. She sees
her favorite book
on the shelf. I was
suddenly quiet
so she asks me
Hindi mo pa siya
nababasa?
Wanting to
impress, I reply
Ay, ayan ba?
Oo, siyempre,
ganda niyan eh!
She then asks
me what was
the thing I liked
most about the
book. I told her
that I had to go
to the CR. I had
Internet access on
my phone, so I Sparksnoted the shit out of the
book. In a few minutes, I came back with enough
info and told her everything, but she just stared
at me. Iba yata yung nabasa mong libro, she
told me. We found out that there was another
book that had the same title. I confessed, and
she thought it was cute that I went through the
trouble just to impress her. That was probably
the only time my lying ever worked out for me.

I finally managed to ask out my


crush out on a date at a theme

misconstrued it as a group thing
so she brought along some of
our common friends and that
kinda sucked for me. But I was
determined to have some alone
time with one way or another. So
while everyone was chickening
out on jumping on a rollercoaster
ride, and my crush really
wanted to ride one, I decided to
accompany her even though I was

pissing my pants in fear. Fastforwardwe were at the top of


the semi freefall dive part of the
rollercoaster, sitting side by side.
I was about to pass out when I
suddenly felt the softest hand Ive
ever felt holding my hand. At the
end of the ride, there were photos
of the people screaming as they
were on the ride, and then the
picture of my face: a combination
of smiling contentment and
mental anguish. Oh, well, at least I
didnt pee myself.

90% and let her meet you with
the rest. We were at her front

of a movie, we were saying
goodnight to one another, and
I had noticed that she wasnt
heading inside. I felt like this was
my opening, so I leaned in, and
thats when I loss balance and
accidentally kissed her on the
nose. I apologized, but she just
gave me a peck on the cheek.
She blushed as she said good

werent at the asking-her-outon-the-weekends level yet. She
asked me if I could wait a while
since she was just finishing
an article she was writing. She
took longer than expected and
my boss suddenly called for a
meeting, so I messaged her if she
could wait for me. My teammates
had merienda/meeting at our
pantry, and all I could think about
was, What if she didnt receive
my message? Then it happened,
she walked into the pantry and
saw me with my teammates. She
stared at me with a confused
face as she sat at another table.
She ended up eating alone. I
explained to her what happened
as soon as our meeting finished
and she just laughed it off. I
treated her to lunch the next day
to say sorry, so I guess it wasnt a
total loss.

Princess Legaspi
I remember a whole week that I
wasnt really following my diet as
strictly as I should have. My dad
and I were driving to a friends
house, and suddenly, my stomach
felt funny. I asked my dad to stop
at gasoline station so I could have
some me time. When I got to
the restroom area, the girls before
me decided to take a selfie sesh
inside the cubicle. Seriously,
whats hot about having a toilet in
the background? Anyway, moving
on, I really had to do my thing and
I have no choice but to ask all the
guys lined up at the guys toilet to
let me go first. These gentlemen
let me do so and I was able
alone to do my thing for about 30
minutes. You guys shouldve seen
my smile when I got exited the
toilet, ha ha!
