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

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

Welcome to

where two actors
post-coitally
contort themselves

whoever, is forced
to tiptoe through
the dark to fetch a
towel to lay down
on that dugyot spot
in the mattress.

MEMBERSHIP,
BECAUSE
ANYONE CAN LIFT
A WOMAN
The only exercise
you need to do to
hone a Hollywood
body is to
constantly pick up
a willing partner
ideally while shes
wearing white
cotton underwear
and kissing her
against a wall. No
sit-ups, no chinups. Just lift up
women repeatedly.
Use your legs not
your back. This is
literally all Ryan

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.

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
heard so far:
1 chewbacca
died offscreen
and Luke is
hiding in the big
wookie's skin all
along, because
he couldnt bear
to see han sad

while on hoth, Luke receives
a message from the spirit of
obi-wan, telling him to go to
dagobah to continue his Jedi
training under yoda.

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.

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

4.3 Dont view all other bloggers as The

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

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.

BrEEZY

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
an alert and everready mind.

Quick-dry clothes
Quick dry clothes are a
must if you want to avoid
rashes and irritations on
your skin, say the Trail
Adventour guides
5
G E AR U P
Knowing what trail
youre going to
trek and in what
weather will come
in handy when
preparing for the
gear youll need.
Bat an g as M o u n t a i n s
Easy to get to from Metro Manila,
and are relatively easier to climb than
other regions mountains. Noticeable
mentions are: Mt. Batulao, Pico de
Loro, Mt. Makulot, Mt. Manabu, Mt.
Galugod Baboy.
Bags
Backpacks still get the
popular vote if you want
to carry your stuff around
safely. Get the waterproof
kind to protect from
dampness of fog and
actual rain.
www.fhm.com.ph
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.

Same as the mountains in Batangas,
the mountains and this region are
relatively easy climbs, with fun twin
hikes (hiking two mountains during
one hike) such as Mts. Pamitinan and
Binacayan because we cant seem to

1 THE LOOKS
Its design lines are
well-balanced in true
German form. It's not
a girly kind of a hatch,
as the Pinoy driver
often perceives this
kind of carit's the
hot racy hatch that it
should be.

2 ENGINE
A GTI 2.0 TSI DSG. In
Sport mode, you can
floor it and the car will
have you reach the
edge of the redline
before it shifts to next
gear for more
(illegal) thrills at the
SCTEX-TPLEX stretch.

4 SPORT PEDALS
We really like the
shiny race-like
pedalsshows that a
car like this thrives on
detail. In other cars,
pedals are a matter to
be ignored; in the Golf
you'll be tempted to
rub polish on them.
4 HATCH BACK
It's the Europeans who
are suckers for hot
hatches, so the Golf
GTI is a hot item there.
In form and function,
and we should say
history going back to
the mid '70s, the Golf
really is the standard
for all hot hatches.

6 MODE BUTTON
The driving mode
button is beside the
shift stick. Forget the
economy mode, you
won't feel the savings
(this is a sporty car,
after all). Waste gas
and press sport.
7 SEATS
At first glance it looks
like a picnic cloth, but
it's actually an iconic
detail for the Golf.

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.

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!
