Editors Letter
WorldMags.net
There is a funny Pinay dance or

choreographed sequence of steps my
husband has often observed to occur
near bodies of water. It involves the
careful entry into a pool or the ocean and
the well-timed plotting of when and
where to discard an extra piece of fabric
(a sarong, towel, pair of shorts, etc.)
encasing a swimsuit-clad body before (or
sometimes after!) stepping into the
water, succeeded by a mad scramble to
get almost completely submerged.
Then, when its time to emerge
from the water, the steps are reversed,
sometimes necessitating the assistance
of a friend coming as close as possible to
hand over the protective body covering
for a quick wrap-around before hitting
land. Whats funny is that this
complicated dance ends up calling even
more attention to whatever body part it is
that needs concealment. And its not any
particular shape or size that lends itself
to the rigmarole. Im not sparedhe also
catches me doing the dance in one form
or another, with my own carefully
calculated moves for the big reveal.
Men dont care about these
things, my amused hubby says, why
do women spend so much time and

energy on it? Its true: Men let their
paunches and puffy parts hang loose
for all they care and not let whatever
anyone else thinks detract from their
enjoyment. Cant we just say, Bakit
ba? This is me, this is how I look, and I
love it! Now excuse me while I happily
make tampisaw.
Cant we just own it, whatever it
is? Easier said than done! Everyone
(even cant-get-any-fitter Madonna,
apparently) has body issues, but
meanwhile, as we strive to change what
we can and accept (and hopefully love)
what we cant, our best friend is our very
own confidence. The self-assured
women in Sexy at Any Shape: Body
Buddies are owning it on p.86 for all the
world to see, and Cosmo cheers them on,
while helping them find the most
flattering swimwear styles. In my case, I
find that working out regularly boosts
my body confidence no matter how far
away I am from my fitness goals.
Whatever yours are, Get Bikini-Ready
For Good, p.132, helps you not just start
a lifestyle of fitness and health, but more
importantly, sustain itfor good.
March, being Womens Month, is

the perfect time to empower yourself to
be the fun, fearless, inhibition-free
femme you were meant to be. Heed the
Kick-Ass Life Advice from Alpha
Females, p.142, and never be afraid
about being ambitious again.This Is Not
Why Youre Single, p.122, tells you not to
worryyoure amazing just the the way
you are. What it Feels Like For (Someone
Who Wants to Be) a Girl, p.50, makes
you appreciate all the things we take for
granted about being female. So pack this
issue in your beach tote and savor every
morsel of summer! Lifes too short.

WHAT DID YOU

THINK OF THE
JANUARY ISSUE?
RESOLUTION REBOOT
LETTER OF
THE MONTH
MATERIAL INSTINCTS
How Do You Start Over From

Nothing? made me realize
that the things you own can
be taken away anytime, and
that is why you should think
twice before spending your
hard-earned money. Starting
over is not easy, but we have
to have the determination to
do something about it. I also
liked What the Fees?! Now
Im resolved to only withdraw
money from my banks ATM
or risk losing more money for
Krystle, 27
conveniences sake.
How To Do Everything Better pushed

me to save up and reinvent myself. Andi
Eigenmanns story of standing up after
a fall was truly inspiring, and her faith in
true loveafter all shes been throughis
admirable. I also cant wait to start the
year right with the empowering Cosmo
Commandments notebook! Rachel, 24
TAKING CHARGE
I extremely enjoyed Shes the Man.
At first I only liked Andi for her pretty
face and felt bad for her when she got
pregnant. Now I admire her for handling
it with grace. I also liked What the Fees?!
as I always fall victim to money traps.
Its so helpful, I will share it with
everyone else.
Aiza, 29
HAPPY HORMONES
The Secret to Being Happy was inspiring. We can find happiness in simple
things like spending time with family or
friends. A positive attitude towards life
will make us feel better. We have to decide
to be happy, whatever the situation is.

Got my first issue this year as a

make it a point to buy a copy every

in the right place
Shes had more real-life drama played out in public than any
other actress her agefrom landing unworthy men to
being denied access to her familys significant wealthso
why is she not falling apart? Heart Evangelista opens up
to Cosmo about fighting for love, making mistakes, and why
its so much more fulfilling to not be the helpless princess.
BY KRIZETTE CHU
Heart Evangelista,
purposely striding across
the marbled lobby of the Raffles Hotel is a
vision in white, clad in a linen shift dress
(conservative) and five-inch, fuck-me heels
(not so conservative). Even here, in the
hush-hush atmosphere of the five-star
hotel used to hosting visiting VVIPs, shes
getting furtive looks.
Enormous sunglasses engulf half of her
delicate face, and gold bracelets jingle on
her slender wrist as she swings a black
Herms Kelly bag whose handle is
wrapped in precious multicolored twilly.
Youve got to give it to hernobody does
class like she does: Heart Evangelista is
chica to the bone.
Shes in the middle of a tough and stressful weekMy Trophy Wife, her movie with
Derek Ramsay and Cristine Reyes, has

been completely re-shot thrice; and just a
week before, her awkward and tense interview with the controversial model/accuser
Deniece Cornejo got flak from viewers, with
social media buzzing about how she bungled what couldve been an explosive coup.
Still, after slumping wearily on a chair in
her breathtaking hotel suite and professing
how tired and out of sorts she is today, the
doe-eyed beauty is looking none worse for
the wear.
After all, exhaustion, stress, and
abrupt changes arent new to her. As
celebrity host of the gossip show Startalk, newly-revived to fill the Sunday
chika time slot, Heart begins a new
phase, trading her celebrity-on-the-hotseat spot for one on the opposite side.

prodigal daughter, in a role that fascinated the masses as she chucked stardom to the side in favor of love; a
repentant rebel; and currently, a senators
girlfriend. Her detractors can say what
they will, but nobody can accuse Heart of
a boring life or not standing her ground.
Heart on...
CUTTING TIES WITH HER PARENTS
AND BEING TRULY INDEPENDENT
COSMO: What was the one thing you did that
made you independent?
HEART: Letting go of certain strongholds in
my life; the ones that were really major
influences on me. My parents, for one. When
theyd tell me I was beautiful, I really felt
beautiful; when theyd tell me I could do it,
then I really did; when theyd say I couldnt,
then I didnt even try. I had to get rid of that
because I had to stand on my own two feet. I
realized I couldnt rely on anyone, not even
on my boyfriend, which had always been my
mistake before: If I couldnt rely on my parents, Id rely on my boyfriend. But now I have
to really let go of everybody. If things can
turn sour for your family, what more with
other people?
COSMO: Howd you come to this realization?
HEART: I turned 29. Being independent had
been on my mind for the longest time. Even
when I was with my parents, I wanted to handle my finances, my schedules, myself. Back
then, even when I wanted to say no, Id say
yes. Sometimes you cant force things, but
something happenslike a nuclear bomb
going offand you have to decide how to
react to it. In my case, severing the relationship came from them. It was bound to happen. When you love your parents you do
everything, until the Universe conspires to
make something happen to force you to [take
action]. You wake up one day and tell yourself, you know what, this cant go on anymore! In the end, when [your parents] are
gone and youre left alone in this world, how
are you going to manage or survive? And
youll only know what to do when youve
actually experienced or gone through it.
COSMO: How hard was it for you to cut those
ties with your parents?
HEART: Its hard because Im very Filipino,
very conservative. Its either you follow
them, and get to be with them, or I do my
thing, which means I cant [be with them.]
COSMO: How independent are you now?
HEART: I do my groceries, I go to the bank,
do my taxes and all those things I never had
to worry about before. It was really hard in
the beginning. I had a tantrum when Chiz
forced me to go to the bank so Id learn about
post-dated checks, time deposits, and the
money market. The hardest thing is, I feel so
dumb most of the time. Chiz would explain
to me a contract that I needed to sign and Id
have to ask him to explain it to me again and
again. He would ignore me when I cried, so I
learned to be a bit more responsible. Im
much better now. But the best thing [about
being independent] is that Ive learned how to
prioritize and to save. Ive improved a lot.
When I became protective of myself, I realized I had become my own woman.
Heart on...
BEING CALLED
FAT, STARVING
HERSELF,
LEARNING TO
LOVE HER BODY
For the longest time, to be honest, I
was insecure about being chinita.
Sure, coming in, that was my selling
point, but during the time I started,
mestizas were all the rage. It was so
hard for me to fit in. When I got over
that, I started obsessing about my
height. Im just 52, thats not tall
enough. After I got over that, I found
something else to obsess about. I used
to starve myself to become thin. After
some time, after everything I had been
through, I learned to accept myself.
Theres always going to be somebody
thinner, prettier, more talented. The
trials I had to go through built my character, so now I realize I have an edge.
I used to have a boyfriend whod tell
me I was fat. I realized, partly, that it
was my fault. The fact is, I asked him
for his opinion. Conscious ka, eh, when
you should just be confident. Mali. If I
wanted to lose weight, I shouldve done
it for myself. Before, my boyfriends
validation, how they wanted me to
look, was so important to me, and it ate
me up inside. But if you think about it,
they fell in love with the person I was.
Although I felt good being thin, if you
compare that feeling to what I have
now with ChizI just feel so adored, so
loved and appreciated. I can do no
wrong in his eyes. Its nice to be with
someone like that.
When I became protective of

myself, I realized I had become
my own woman.

was running for senator, I felt I was a
curse, that I wasnt doing him good. But he
was so adamant about assuring me not to
let it get to me. If I only knew I was going to

your 29th birthday is the last youll

spend single. Are you engaged?
HEART: I only said that because Im on
such a high right now. Everyones
going well, and I am so in love. I am
just so definite and sure about this
guy that if he asks me tomorrow to
marry him, Ill say yes.
COSMO: Why are you sure about him?
HEART: Hes home. Of course Ive been
in love before, but with Chiz, weve
never faced an issue that made me
want to give up. Ive never felt this way
before. He is so patient with me. He
stays away from me when Im needy.
Alam niya paano ako i-handle.
Ayaw
niya na ilipat yung
g dependence ko on
my parents to him. He wants me to be
able to learn on my own. He made me
grow in that area. Its tough love, but
he makes me feel secure.
COSMO: Whats the greatest
challenge of your relationship?
HEART: Obviously he is much older
than I am, has been married before,
and has kidsthat was something
new to me. I didnt know how to act in
front of them, or hug him in front of
them. Im also like a child myself.
COSMO: Hes added a lot to your life.
What are you adding to his?
HEART: He always tells me that I gave
him life again, inspired him to be
healthy, to dress up, to see the world.
Now he understands that there is
more to life than just being a political
monster. He works hard but when
hes home, hes home.
COSMO: Your relationships have
been epic. Whats one thing you
learned about love?
HEART: Dont let anybody meddle in

Is it still an
issue if your
YES
woman
earns more
than you do?
Wayne Tulio, 30
NO
Ping Ronquillo, 32
Editor
Copywriter
Growing up, we men were

raised with the idea of being
providers. We were pretty
much taught to always take
care of the bill during dates,
and to make sure we have
enough in our wallets so
our ladies wont have to fork
out anything.
I once had a girlfriend who
earned more than I did. It
didnt feel good when shed pay
the lions share of our dinner
bill. Call it insecurity, but it
isnt. Call it old-fashioned, but
I still believe taking care of
finances is a manly responsibility. Take the capacity to provide away from most men and
youll see them working hard
to get it back.
Theres also the issue of not
feeling like youre an equal in a
relationship. When a woman
earns more than her man
does, chances are, she also
holds a higher position at
work. It could get quite awkward when people in our respective circles find out shes a
manager and Im a gopher.
Maybe it all boils down to
our egos being hurt. Perhaps
we dont want others to see us
out-earned by our partners. Its
just how were wired. While it
may not be an issue right away,
at some point it will be.
In this day and age, is it still

an issue to want a beautiful
woman who has ended up
better than you have in every
professional aspect? Is it better
to kill off any hidden desire we
have for that successful, short
skirt, long jacket-wearing
heartbreaker who is a lot more
stable and secure, and can buy
you, your friends, and the entire
club? I really dont think so.
Why I think that is based on
my own experience. You see, I
never finished college, but I
still ended up working in
advertising, which pays pretty
well. However, my salary is just
a third of what my doctorgirlfriend makes. I collect
sneakers, she collects watches.
And Im not talking about
G-Shocks. She even gave me a
Panerai for my last birthday.
You get the picture. But do any
of her actions bother me? Does
she make me feel small, less, or
lacking, to the point that I start
reconsidering her being The
One? Nope. Because at the end
of the day, when were both in
bed and ready to sleep,
regardless of who made more
money that day or ended up
paying for dinner, I still make
her feel like what she is to me
my woman. And thats always
more than enough for her.

NAUGHTIEST THING
I Fled From
the Restaurant
Without Paying
The Bill!
Party hard...then run. Fast.
Post-clubbing
chow not on
me!
I was so mad about getting stood up by a

guy that I phoned some friends to save me
from a lonely Saturday night so we could
have a wild, booze-filled time. We hopped
from one place to another, looking for the
wildest crowd to party with. I sprang for
the cover charge for all my friends, bought
them a round or two, and left when we
didnt like the vibe anymore.
The first bar we went to was a posh
college-kid hangout. I texted an ex-fling
who had connections and scored prime
46
seats at the VIP section. Feeling flushed,

we danced the night away, with booze
flowing. I didnt bother to check the bill as
I was so intent on having fun. When it
arrived, I had a mini-heart attack, but I
whipped my credit card out, determined
that nothing would ruin my night.
We moved to another club, but this time
I didnt have any contacts to get me in, so I
decided to chummy up to a seedy-looking
bouncer and slipped him a thousandpeso bill to make sure my friends and I
WorldMags.net
got a good table. It worked. We got hit

on by quite a few good-looking guys, so
it was worth the cover charge. Again,
we downed drinks like water. The bill
almost gave me a seizure, but because
my friends didnt (actually, couldnt)
chip in, I had to swipe my plastic again.
Uh-oh.
High on alcohol, GV, and the
attention of hot men, my friends and I
drove to yet another club, ordered yet
another round of drinks, and actually
stayed til closing time. Total damage
for the night: P30,000more than
what I earn in my job!
I was so smashed, my friends had to
drag me back to the car, where they left
me in peace snoring in the backseat. I
thought wed be driving home, but I
woke up a couple hours later to bright
sunlight to find we were in Tagaytay.
For brunch, they said. Dizzy,
dehydrated, and famished, we ordered
the most expensive meals on the
menu. I was about to get the bill when
I realized I had reached my CC limit
with no cash on hand. My friends
were also broke.
Our alcohol-fogged brains tried to
map out a brilliant plan to flee from
the scene. One of us stood up for a
bathroom run, while my other friend
and I tiptoed-darted our way out.
When we all got into the car, we
revved up the engine and hurtled
towards Manila. We were a couple
kilometers down the road when a
friend realized shed left her bag at the
table! We were beyond mortifiedwe
didnt want to go back after skipping
the bill! But we couldnt really leave
her bag with all her IDs in it, so we
took the longest U-turn of our lives
and proceeded to approach the
restaurant with fear. When we got
back, my friend went down to grab her
stuff and was accosted by the glaring
waiter with the bill. We ended up
driving to an ATM machine miles
awaywhile my friend had to wait at
the restaurant clutching the bill while
the waiter stood guard beside her. Talk
about a smooth escape. Q

How do I divide it so that I

A If you have siblings, ask them to pitch
in. Just because you earn more doesnt

mean you have to spend for all their
expenses. Encourage them to use the
money you send to set up a business or find
a way to generate more income. You do
know you cant do this forever, right?

Q My fianc and I

masturbating to

A Choosing your hand over
your man probably means

youre super stressed. After a
long day, masturbating is just
easier, Barbara Carrellas,
author of Ecstasy is Necessary,
says. You know youre going
to get off but dont have to take
care of someone else. Beyond
tired? Initiate some lazy spoon
sex with your guy. Just dont let
XXX sex replace the real
thing. Porn is the junk food of
sexuality, Carrellas says.
Nothing wrong with an
occasional fast-food meal, but
a steady diet of it is really not
going to make you feel good.

Ay, lalaki pala, muttered the waitress taking my order at a caf.

w kikay
Then, it struck me: No matter how long my hair is, how
my outfit is, or how confident I am, Ill never be a normal girl.
I was five when I first realized I was different: I chose dolls
over robots, dresses over shirts, girl playmates over boys. My
parents used to hit me when they caught me. I had a little more
leeway at school, until my high school adviser told my mom
she saw me putting on makeup. (Reminder: Never out anyone.
Coming out is a personal decision).
My parents accepted me, but on one condition: I could be gay
as long as I didnt act effeminate or wear womens clothing. At
first, this was more than enough for me. But when I understood
my gender identity and sexuality more, I had to come out again:
I realized I wasnt gay (just physically attracted to other males),
but transgender (born male but identifying with females.
Defining factor: self-identification.)
As I opened myself up to this truth, I exposed myself not just
to rejection and abandonment, but to prejudice and ridicule.
Public restrooms are an exercise in second-guessing, not
because we think we dont belong, but because we experience
condescension from some women. Mens restrooms? Not an
option. The difficulty extends to every possible scenario:
accessing public establishments like restaurants and bars,
health and social services, even job opportunities.
Like you real women, transwomen are pressured to
conform to societal standards of beauty. We have to be
passable, showing no hint of being male, so we undergo
hormone replacement to counter testosterone by adding more
estrogen to our bodies. Its hard enough to be a girl, what more
trying to conceal masculine features? When my girlfriends
complain about some imagined flaw, I snap with a tart
Exchange na lang tayo!! They laugh and say, OK na pala.
When you complain about how fat and imperfect you are,
think of us, taking hormone pills, buying special undies or
enduring surgery to add feminine curves or hide certain
bulges just to lookand feellike a woman. When you fret
about how hard dating is, imagine us: I once met a cute guy at a
party. He had no idea, and I didnt think it was my responsibility
to out myself to him so early. After a month of dating, I fessed
up, hoping I had given him enough time to know me beyond
my sexuality. He left right away.
Everyone pays lip service about
respecting us, but I know
someone like myself is still seen as
a lesser kind of female. But the
truth isand this I fight for every
dayI am a girl. I may not have
breasts or a vagina, but my
womanhood is not defined by or
limited to my physical attributes.
Womanhood should go beyond
whats between our legs and

bearing a child.
One is not
born, but
rather

My guy and I went on a trip with my parents last Christmas.

Only twin sharing rooms were available, so my BF roomed with
my brother while I stayed with my sister. One night, my mom
and sister went to the spa and my brother took a bath, so my
guy saw it as a chance to hook up. We couldnt decide which
room to do it in, so we settled for the re exit. We ran the risk
of getting caught by strangers, or being captured on the CCTV,
which only made it totally hot.

My ex and I used to go on a lot of double dates with his guy friend whod
bring different women each time. He was cute and charming, so it was
no wonder he had a lot of girls. When my ex and I broke up, I started
frequenting clubs. At a club one night, I saw his charming friend, and we
got to talking and then drunk-dancing. Then, as if he couldnt take the
teasing anymore, he grabbed my arm and told me Lets get out of here! I
didnt even have time to grab my bag because we were in such a hurry to
get it on. Needless to say, we had the hottest sex Ive ever had in my life.

he confessed he was cheating on his GF with

When we first started dating, my guy

cuddled me after sex. Now, he just goes
to sleep. Why?
A At the beginning of relationships, most guys are on their
best behavior. For instance, they will change their sheets

every so often and wont burp around you. But as they get
comfy, they ease into their normal behaviors. Theres even a
biological reason men dont love cuddling post sex:
Hormones released in his brain after orgasm can make
him extra sleepy. Let him know you dont need to be
wrapped around each other all night, but that in order for
you to want to have sex with himstress that point as
much as youd likeyou need to feel close to him afterward.
Q My fianc calls his family about major stuff, before me. Is it

fair to demand he give me the big news first?
A Its probably because hes used to going to them first. That said, its fair to ask him
to tell you first. But be careful, if you say the wrong thing, he may think youre
implying that his family shouldnt be as important. First, let him know how hes
become the number one in your life. Then the next time something major happens,
add a phrase like I just had to tell youbut now I should really call my parents. If
that doesnt work, tell him: I feel a little silly, but it would mean a lot if I was the first
person you came to with news. It would make me feel like were a family now too.

Q On a first date, Ill

always do the wallet
ggrab, even though
g Id
be turned off if he
wanted me to pay. Do
guys know its an act?
A Yesbut that doesnt mean
you should stop doing it. Why?

Because it shows that youre
not a princess who needs
everything done for her and that
you understand the value of
money. Try to avoid giving him
the wrong idea. What not to do:
Say something like Id really
prefer we split this. If you do
that, a guy who had every
intention of paying may panic
and fear that youll be annoyed if
he doesnt let you pay for half.
Instead, let him make the first
move for his wallet. When he
does, reach for yours, and
silently continue going through
the motions of paying until he
stops you. Most guys will.

ASK HIM
ANY THING
impression that guys dont want

to date cool girls. But trust me,
they do. Cool girll might be
another way for them to say girl
I like but am not attracted to. If
any of these guys wanted to be
more than your friend, they
would have tried something by
now. I wonder, are you trying too
hard to play the cool girl? A lot of
women think being one of the
guys will make dudes want to
date them, but that rarely
works, and it can actually
be unattractive.
If you are truly just being
yourself, stop sweating your
ffriends in that way and enjoy the
solid group of male buddies. Use
them as a resource to introduce
you to other guys who would want
to date youor for advice on how
you can avoid being friend-zoned
by new men you may meet.

Men Really
Mean When

Not all men are easy...

Ah, youre close pala with so-and-so?
despite our rootin-tootin, straight-
WHAT HE PROBABLY MEANS: I am
shootin rep-yoo-tay-tion, we men

actually dont mean what we say. But its
not all malice. Like you, sometimes, it
comes from plain old hiya, or attempts at
delicadeza. The other motivation? Yeah,

his finger so he can never double-tap his

WHAT HE SAYS: (To a cute girl hes

friends with) Yeah, I can make you hatid
straight to your house. Its no problem.
WHAT HE PROBABLY MEANS: Basta I
can get me some action ta-night!
WHAT HE SAYS: (When you text him

about how hes late for a date) Yeah, Im
on my way na, hon. Traffic lang.
WHAT HE PROBABLY MEANS: I just
finished toweling down and am about to
put on my jeans.
WHAT HE SAYS: (Noticing someone

keeps hearting your Instagram posts)

WHAT HE SAYS: (When the bill arrives

during your date) Did you notice,
ang tagal pa pala ng suweldo? Cue
nervous laughter.
WHAT HE PROBABLY MEANS: Can we
already transition from the I pay for
everything stage to lets Dutch-treat
everything but our anniversaries?
WHAT HE SAYS: (When you ask if he
wants to hang this weekend) Sorry,
babe. Another weekend? Dami kong
errands, toxic nga e. Pero Ill call you, ha!
WHAT HE PROBABLY MEANS: I just
bought a new PlayStation game.
WHAT HE SAYS: (When you ask how

much his nice gift was because, awww,
he really shouldnt have) I got it on sale!
WHAT HE PROBABLY MEANS: It laid
waste to my bank account. Now I must
live in debt for the foreseeable fiscal year.
WHAT HE SAYS: (When you ask about

last nights stag party) Wala. Just had a
couple of drinks. Super baduy nga, e.
WHAT HE PROBABLY MEANS: Damn,
son, we totally had strippers over.
WHAT HE SAYS: (When you ask what
time hes coming home) Dont worry,
babe, last beer ko na to.
WHAT HE PROBABLY MEANS: Were
moving to another bar as we speak.
WHAT HE SAYS: (When breaking up with
you) You deserve better than me.
WHAT HE PROBABLY MEANS: I deserve

Why You
Should Still
Treat Us
Like
Girls
even if were basically equals.
Our careers have opened doors for us, but
guess what, we still want you to hold the door
open. Heres why.
Its a conundrum, isnt it?
How a woman insists she be

treated like an equal, yet expects certain privileges and
wont ever let you forget shes
a woman. Maybe reading this
will help clear things up.
THE PLAYING FIELD

MAY BE OPEN BUT ITS
NOT A FREE-FOR-ALL.
We may be less conservative
than we were decades ago,
but that doesnt give men a
free pass into our underpants.
If we let you buy us a drink at
a club we may even buy you
a drink dont think anything else after that is freely
given. We can sleep around if
we really wanted to, but on
our own terms and only if we
know whats in it for us.
Please respect us for that.
OUR COMPETENCE IS
NO EXCUSE FOR YOU
TO SLACK OFF.
Seriously, you
dont always
have to let us
win.
Were so capable that we can

be your girlfriend/secretary/
travel agent/mediator/guidance counselor/stylist all
rolled into one. Were so
capable that you probably
sometimes take us for
granted. And thats just
wrong. Take the lead sometimes. Make your woman
proud. Make her feel like
youre in this together.
GIFTS ARE NOT

EXPECTED, BUT THEY
ARE APPRECIATED.
We have salaries. But even if
we can use our own money to
buy a designer bag, we hope
you wont forget birthdays,
anniversaries and other significant occasions. Dont forget that you dont need an
occasion to give a gift, either.
70
WorldMags.net
We dont expect jewelry:

Anything that seems well
thought-of and given from
the heart is appreciated
were really easy that way.
DONT FORGET THE

SMALL THINGS.
Even the most successful
woman is not immune to
unexpected romantic actions.
Its always the little things
a randomly-sent text
message, a home-cooked
meal, a note stuck to our
computer screen, a surprise
delivery that sticks in our
minds and turns us (power
suit and all) into mush.
CHIVALRY WILL NEVER

BE PASS.
So please do continue
opening doors for us. Switch
over to the side with the
incoming cars. Help us carry
heavy loads. Defend us when
someone puts us down (even
if we say we can fight our own
fights). Try not to walk ahead
of us. We dont even expect
you to be a step behind. Just
stay right beside us, preferably holding our hand.
AT THE END OF THE

DAY, WERE ALL PRINCESSES AT HEART.
We may have the forbearance
of a saint and act with the
dignity of a queen in public.
But behind closed doors,
when its just the two of us,
we want to be held and coddled like a princess, and
thought the most beautiful
thing in the world. At the end
of the day, were vulnerable
enough to admit that we still
want you to treat us like a
woman, one youll always
cherish, love and protect. No
matter what.

Should I be using

A Skin requires the same active ingredients. What
differs is the vehicle through which they are delivered,
explains Dr. Aivee Aguilar-Teo. Regardless of skin type,
youll need topical antioxidants and sunscreen to prevent
free-radical damage, exfoliants to help remove dulling
skin cells and promote dermal thickening, and peptides,
proteins, and vitamins to reinforce healthy skin function.
IF YOURE OILY

A Compare your face shape with models

and stars in magazines, advises Ara
Fernando, LOral Professionnel hairstylist.
Find a celeb with a similar face shape to
yours, then look through as many photos as
you can; celebs love to change their looks up
so youre sure to find a cut somewhere in
their makeover history that appeals to you.

A Dont fill them in coloring book-

mimic hair strands, instructs Omar
Ermita, makeup artist for Shu
Uemura. Look for sword-cut pencils
(Ermita suggests Shu Uemuras H9
Hard Brow Pencil,P1,400); the
slanted shape of the pigment will
make it easier to apply in long, hairlike
strokes. If thats still not natural
enough for you, use a sheer eyebrow

A SPECIAL SECTION BY
It was winter in Moscow, but Ariella

Arida was a perfect picture of summer.
The striking contrast between her
bright yellow gown, a strapless
mermaid-cut number, and her long
Beyond Beautiful black hair made
her look all the more radiant. Clearly,
despite the pressure of winning the
prestigious Miss Universe crown, this
Filipina was enjoying the spotlight.
Two months later, after bagging 3rd runner up,
Ariella or Ara still feels the pageants frenzy.
The schedule! she exclaims. Yun talaga yung
nakakapanibago. Every day, you have to be ready
for something. She says that planning trips, for
instance, can be dicult because her duties as
the 3rd runner up require her to be ready and
on-call for just about anything.
Beyond Beautiful Changes
Placing in a beauty pageant does bring big

changes, and Ara is yet to get the hang of it. The
attention she gets, both in real life and on the
Internet is C-R-A-Z-Y, she admits.
Brand New Day
But the most overwhelming, she says, would

be meeting her heroesor heroines. Si Anne
Curtis, begins her long star-studded list, si Piolo
Pascual, nakakabeso ko na, akalain mo yun, she
beams. Si Donald Trump, Steven Tyler, Panic
at the Disco, si Nick Jonas na laging kasama si
Olivia Culpo. Candid yet relaxed, Ara toys with
her perfectly smooth and straight strands while
dropping famous names like theyre her usual
party buddies.
From Beauty Queen to Scent Icon
While becoming a beauty queen was something

shed wanted ever since she saw Miriam Quiambao
win in 1999, Ariella says nothing was planned. Go
with the ow lang kasi ako, she explains casually,
And being open-minded works for me. Ariella
recognizes the limitless possibilities that the Miss
Universe 3rd runner up title could bring, thats why
she preps for opportunities and responsibilities that
might show up, whether in show business or not.
Shes not one to settle for a single option.
Besides, I have my chemistry background, she
unabashedly points out, adding that she has a
dream of creating a brand of scents all her own.
I have friends who are extra eager to make the
business happen pronto, but I want to take it slowly
but surely, she shares, displaying the same cool,
casual condence we saw at the Miss Universe
stage.
Asked about challenges she might face in the future, this fearless girl is sure
about one thing: she wont have regrets. Whatever it is that I decide to do
after all these, whats important is that I get to do something meaningful for
myself and the people who matter. Na may ginagawa akong makabuluhan
sa buhay mo, Ara shares. Im not afraid of failure. Kung hindi para sa kin,
mo on.
marami pang opportunities na puwedeng kunin. Its easy for me to move
She raises her arms and exclaims, Its a brand new day.
Aras Hair Story

My hair? Kahit bagong gising
nga, okay na siya eh, Ara shares
with a laugh. But true enough,
Aras long black and shiny strands
made her stand out from a pool
of curly blondes and brunettes on
the Miss Universe stage. Great
hair can really take you places,
thats why Ara advices to use
conditioner daily after every
shampoo. I do use Cream Silk
Daily Treatment Conditioner, and
as you can see, it really helps keep
my hair smooth and shiny. Great
looking hair helps you feel more
condent, whether on stage or
not, she says. With unshakeable
condence and regal looks, theres
really no telling where else Aras
hair can take her.

In Canada, we were living beside a

highway and Id stare at the lights I see
in billboards that show New York City,
Bea says excitedly at the prospect
of visiting the Big Apple, one of her
many plans after her reign as Miss
International.
Apart from the big personal goal of giving her
mother the house she wants in the Philippines,
Bea plans to travel more and explore life. I want
to feel alive! I dont want to just sit here and just
be on TV. I want to be able to say at 25, I did this
and done that.
A World of Opportunities
This is the very attitude that brought Bea Rose
Santiago packing her bags in Canada and moving
to the Philippines, beauty queen dreams in tow.
And it looks like this is the very same attitude
that will bring Bea out in the world, doing more.
Already, shes o to a good start. Shes fullled
her dream to become a beauty queen. Shes gone
to Japan, where she bagged the crown, and talks
are on about a visit to Hungary and Myanmar.
Its crazy. I met the President three timescan
you believe that?! Bea says excitedly. While that
opportunity is rather common among beauty
queens, Beas fun attitude puts her in a better
position: Im the only person who has had a
sele taken with him kaya hindi daw niya ako
makakalimutan. He calls me by my rst name
now. For a girl who set out to experience and live
life to the fullest, the stars are certainly granting
Beas wishes.
From the Philippines and Beyond

While she still has the time before her duties
as Miss International go into full throttle, Bea is
looking into the dierent ways she can give back
to the world and pay the good forward. Im
eyeing a few charities, she informs, saying her
birthday is coming up so shes looking to help out.
Im continuing to do work with Gawad Kalinga,
but Im also talking to my uncle and my aunt who
are helping out the indigenous communities of
Bohol.
The world is big and theres much to do. I want
to go out of the Philippines as an international
model. Bea is determined to make her mark and
take her modeling career to global status and is
certain this is just a pitstop to all the adventures
life will oer her
Beas Hair Story

I am lucky that my hair is thick
enough. And that during the
coronation night, it was long
enough so I just had to curl it
before I folded it in the back.
And it stayed, says Bea when
asked about that regal way she
keeps her hair, whether pulled
up in a bun or worn loose. It
helps to have a daily treatment
conditioner that you can rely on,
she adds referring to Cream Silks
Daily Treatment Conditioner
that combines the speed of
conditioner and power of vitamin
treatment to give her hair a more
potent dose of TLC. She admits,
Beyond Beautiful hair is the

THE SKINNY
ON SPF
Higher
isnt
always
better
The only difference
between SPF 30 and SPF
50 is that SPF 50 is
supposed to protect your
skin for longer than SPF 30
can. However, I think that
SPF 30 is the standard for
sunblock, and I think it
shouldnt go any higher,
says Dr. Teo. Even if your
sunscreen has an SPF of
100, keep in mind that we
continuously rub our faces,
sweat, and secrete oil,
among many other
occurrences where theres
a chance for the formula to
come off, she explains.
Using an SPF 50
sunscreen might make you
overconfident about the
level of protection youre
getting. Instead, use a
sunscreen formula with
SPF 15 to 30 and reapply
religiously every two to
three hours.

STAYING IN BED?
YOU STILL NEED
SUNSCREEN!
Believe it or not, if youre determined to save

your skin and stave off aging, you need to
wear sunscreen even if youre staying home.
Its extremely important to use sunblock on a
day-to-day basis even if youre not directly hit
by sunlight. In the daytime, if your room is lit
without any lights on, it means that sunlight
or UV rays are present, and UV damage can
still occur, warns Dr. Teo. Yikes!

Everyone knows what SPF

stands for: Sun Protection
Factor. But what does it
mean? If your skin burns
with continuous sun
exposure after 10 minutes,
the listed SPF acts as a
multiplier, thereby
lengthening the time it can
be protected against the
sun, explains Dr. Aivee
Aguilar-Teo. So, SPF 15 x 10
minutes = 150 minutes of
protection.
Suffering from sunburn? Aloe gels are okay to use because

the cooling they provide cuts off inflammation and
irritation in the skin, says Dr. Teo. But skip anything that
contains menthol. It mimics cooling, but its a very strong
agent and to apply it to sensitive, sunburned skin would be
extremely detrimental. Your skins extra sensitive now, so
dont aggravate it any further. Stop doing anything
abrasive, like exfoliating or using products that are too
strong for the skin, instructs Dr. Teo. Shift to a mild, gentle
cleanser, and follow up with a soothing moisturizer that
contains antioxidants and anti-irritants (like Bisabolol or
Allantoin) after.

PICK THE
PERFECT
SUNSCREEN
SLATHER ON A
SPOONFUL
In order to reach the
specified SPF on the label,
one should apply at least a
teaspoon worth of
sunscreen on the face, and a
shotglass for the entire
body, says Dr. Teo. Sounds
like a lot? It is. But youre not
getting the level of
protection listed on the
bottle if you use less.
Don't
scrimp on
your
sunscreen.
YOU NEED MORE

THAN MAKEUP
Because you need to apply a

minimum of one teaspoon to make
the most out of your SPF, its likely
that your SPF-spiked makeup isnt
enough to keep you protected.
Unless youre willing to apply a
teaspoon of foundation! quips Dr.
Teo. Powders offer even less
protection. They tend to have thin
coverage on the skin, having only a
minute presence atop the
epidermis, she explains. Prime
your skin with sunscreen before
you apply your makeup.
Make sure the texture of sunscreen

youre using is attuned to your skin
type, says Dr. Teo. Go for a light
lotion if youre oily/combination, and
a richer cream if youre dry. And,
make sure its broad spectrum,
which means UVA and UVB
coverage. UVA protection will limit
free-radical
damage, which
breaks down
collagen and
elastin, while
UVB protection
helps prevent
burning,
pigmentation, and
photo aging. Also,
skip any
sunscreen that
contains alcohol.
Its a very strong
free-radical
damage instigator,

Temperatures are rising, clothes are shrinkingwho could blame a girl for

kind. But my husband and I cant afford
tons of long trips, so we take mini ones.
Well nd a cheap B and B close by or

Changing up the scenery relaxes us, so

THE CHORE CHART
My husband used to be a
slacker about chores, and
it annoyed me so much
that I didnt want to have
sex with him. So one day,
we made a chore chart
of stuff that absolutely
needs to get done by both
of us. Now when I come
home to an empty trash

cant help but jump him!

THE PRE-SHOWER Most people like showering after sex, but my guy and
I do so before. We wash ourselves with eucalyptus and peppermint oilsthe

combo of scrubbing plus steam gets our blood owing, so by the time we get to
bed, were extra energized. Plus, we smell nice and feel soft! Meg O., 28

THE COVER
One time, my boyfriend

and I were having sex
at his parents house.
I guess I was a little
too loud, because he
covered my mouth with
his palm and kept it
there until we nished.
I thought it would
freak me out, but it was
actually hot! Now, I
sometimes ask him to
cover my mouth even
when theres no need to
be quiet. The restraint
is a big turn-on, and
weve realized that
expressing emotions
with only our eyes
during sex heightens
the intensity and makes
us feel more connected
than when were loud.

THE GETAWAY PLAN Im a rm
WorldMags.net
THE SHEET TREAT When I was in college, I dated this guy

who had sheets that smelled so terrible, like a combo of stale
sweat and dirty socks, that I ended up dumping him. It was a
complete deal breakertalk about unsexy! So when I graduated, I decided to invest in deluxe, crisp, high-thread-count
cotton sheets so Id never have to deal with unsexy college-guy
hookups again. Im married now, and my husband and I bought
our own fancy sheets. And our sex life is just as deluxe. Not only
do the sheets motivate us to have more sex (who doesnt want
to get tangled up in nice linens?), but also, we feel more adult,
so we act like it too. We communicate and tell each other what
feels good and what doesnt and what we want more of. The
moral: Better sheets equal better sex. Katrina Y., 28
THE
NAKED
LUNCH
THE SELFIE I started
touching my clitoris
during sex with my guy,
and it feels incredible.
The combo of penetration plus clitoral
stimulation puts me
over the edge. And I feel
in control of my own O,
which turns him on!
Mia B., 25
THE FORWARD APPROACH Now that Im in my 30s, Ive realized that being
direct with guys is the key to better sex. I called my guy the other day and said,
verbatim, I want to come over at 7 tonight and have sex with you. When I got
there, I marched in and took charge. He thought it was hot because I was being
dominant, and I felt powerful, which turned me on. Abby G., 32
My boyfriend and
I make a habit of
meeting for lunchbreak quickies
at his place. All
morning, we text
each other about
how we cant wait
to get it on. When
its nally time to
meet, the sex is
amazing because
wed anticipated it
for hours!
Bea P., 32
THE BOOK CASE Im a recent romance-novel convert. I read Julie Jamess Love
Irresistibly before I went out one night, and I ended up making out with a guy at the
bar because I had sex on the brain. I also like Rachel Gibson and Susan Elizabeth
Phillips. Their stories help me feel more sensual during sex I visualize the hot
Steph G., 26
scenes! And he never has to know.
THE SHOULDER MOVE

Clitoral stimulation always makes me
orgasm, but I think its fun to nish
just from regular missionary too. I
discovered an easy trick to get me there:
I put both my legs up on his shoulders
and lif my butt a couple of inches o
the mattress. Then, I have my boyfriend
thrust extra hard. My positioning
creates this arch that makes it easier
for him to go super deep, which does
it for me. That, plus the fact that hes
thrusting extra hard, makes the end
result really mind-blowing.
Laura M., 27
THE WARM-UP I was always on the fence about sex toys.

Id consider them, but then Id think, Nah, theyre not really
for me. I recently decided to be more adventurous, so I bought
my rst vibrator online. Now, when I know that my boyfriend is
coming over at a specic time, I turn my vibrator to the lowest
speed about 10 minutes before he arrives and literally just let it
sit inside me and hum for that whole time. That way, it warms
everything up down there for when he arrives. Then when he
touches me and Im already wet, it makes us both so much
hornier for each other, and the sex feels more connected as a
result. Also, Ive found that Im more likely to orgasm during
sex after I do my pre-sex vibrator warm-up! Diane K., 23
THE SEXERCISE For my Kegel exercises, I used to clench
the muscle that I felt in both my vagina and my butt. But

when I looked up a video on YouTube of a woman who
teaches Kegels, she explained that youre not supposed
to use your butt at all! Youre only supposed to clench the
PC muscles in your vagina. Now, I do Kegels the right
way while my guy and I are having sex, and we love it. It
increases the pressure for both of us, so our orgasms are
much stronger. Ali F., 23

all, accusing a single person
of being too selective is a
compliment in a way. It assumes that scads of people want
to be with you.
Plus, there is a reason we got so much feedback. We asked
for itor complained enough that our friends felt compelled
to cough up some sort of wisdom. The solution: Stop talking

Roses relationships typically didnt last long. Apart from

one three-year romance, most lasted only three to six
months. She often asked her married friends for advice.
The diagnosis? That I was caring too much, trying too
hard, and not playing hard to get, says Rose. This is classic
dating-guide advice: If you love someone, dont you dare let
him know. Keep him guessing, because men love the hunt.
This idea is presented as empoweringappear

so condent that youre invulnerable to his opinion. There is a kernel of wisdom in there: Dont let
another person determine your worth. But in telling women to act like unavailable ice queens, the
message is: Hide your true feelings, because if he
sees how you really feel, he will leave. How is that
supposed to make you feel condent?
Bitchiness is false condence. Making someone
feel insecure, withholding kindnessthis is not
how truly condent people behave. Think about the
most self-assured people you know. Are they inconsiderate? Do they try to make you feel small? And
think about yourself when youve gotten a promotion or a great compliment. Does this wellspring of
self-worth make you aloof or are you more likely to
say, You look fantastic!?

N
When TV host-comedian Vhong Navarro
went to see 22-year-old Deniece Cornejo
at her posh condo on January 22, the last
thing he probably expected was to get
beaten up and accused of rape.
Afer all, he claimed that the last time
he saw the model, she went down on him.
He also said that afer their rst meetup,
she texted him sweet nothings, and that
she scheduled the now infamous second
date at her condo. The rest is CCTV
footage history, except for what went on
between them inside her condo: She
claimed he attempted to rape her and
was rescued only when her friends found
him pinning her down, he claimed four
men pounced on him soon as he arrived.
While the case has not been closed,
this rape case (or grave injury,
depending on who you ask) du jour
opened a can of worms about a littletalked-about yet highly debatable
phenomenon that might be more
common than we think: Date rape.
Take what happened to Sophia, an
events coordinator. It may have been
eight years ago, but she still remembers.
She was 26 when she rst met Mike.
Actually, it wasnt exactly like she had
just met himthey attended the same
university and he was someone shed
known for some time. So when she ran
into him at a school where he worked as
a teacher, it was like bumping into an old
acquaintance.When he asked her out, it
didnt even seem like a date. We were
just going to hang out for coee and buy
DVDs, she recalls. When he brought her
home at the end of the evening, Sophia

So many people dont know what rape is. Akala
nyo ba rapists are a certain type of people? Rapists
can be anyone.

leaned over across his side of the car to

give him the compulsory beso as a gesture
of thanks and friendship. Mike, however,
did not want to stop at the peck on the
cheek. I felt him grab my neck, Sophia
recalls. Before I knew what was
happening, he had his tongue on my
neck, in my mouth.
It happened so quickly, Sophia did not
notice he had unzipped his pants. With
his hand still gripped around her neck,
he pulled her down to give him oral sex.
Then, he went on top of her.
Sophia still remembers suocating,
being confused and being betrayed by
her body. Mentally, I was angry. I didnt
know what was happening. I know I told
him to stop, I told him I couldnt breathe.
My mind was ghting it but my body was
responding.
Sophias coping mechanism at that
point was to detach herself from the
situation; she made herself think it was
happening to someone elseanybody
else but her. When it was over, he asked
her, Did you have a good time, baby?
Sophia went home that night unsure of
what had happened. I remember taking
a very, very long shower.

Is it rape if there is no brutality?

Republic Act 8353, known as The AntiRape Law of 1997, denes rape as sexual
intercourse with a woman through force
or intimidation. Sexual intercourse is
further dened as the forcible insertion
of an animate or inanimate object into an
oral, anal, or vaginal orice of a woman.
The law also stipulates that physical
resistance or sustained injuries need not
be established when there is intimidation
and the victim submits herself out of fear.
One of the misconceptions about rape
is that it is perpetrated by strangers who
are lust-lled or drugged, says Anna
Leah Sarabia, womens rights activist
and former executive director of the now
defunct KALALAKASN (Kababaihan
Laban sa Karahasan), an NGO that
served survivors of violence.
In her years manning the crisis hotline
and counseling survivors, Sarabia says
perpetrators are ofen known and trusted
by the survivor. It is the element of trust
that ofen throws o the victim and
impacts the way she responds to the
assault. Claire Padilla, an attorney and
executive director of EnGendeRights,

Avoid date rape!

Bring your own car when out on a date. Drive
yourself home or hitch a ride with a girlfriend

you can say you need to meet up with
afterwards.
Watch whats in your drink. If a stranger buys
you a drink at a bar, make sure it is opened or
mixed in front of you. Dont leave it
unattended.
When out with a new guy, make sure a friend
knows about it and where youre going.
It wont hurt to have pepper spray in your
purse right next to your lipstick.
Can rape happen to anyone?
Is he choking her or
stroking her?
Remember: No one
but you knows what
really happened.
says, Victims respond dierently to

their ordeal. Some resist with violent
struggle; others become catatonic. Adds
Helen dela Cruz, police inspector of the
Philippine National Police Criminal
Investigation and Detection Group
(PNP-CIDG), There are stereotypes of
rape victims na gutay-gutay ang damit,
gulo-gulo ang buhok, but that is not
always the case. Dierent people have
dierent coping mechanisms.
AFTER AN ATTACK:
1
2
3
Dont bathe between the time of the

incident and the time you make your
complaint.
It is best to file your complaint within
24 hours of the incident.
Keep soiled clothes as evidence. Dont
wash your hands as the skin under
your fingernails may be checked for
skin samples that you may have
scratched off your assailant.
Maybe I didnt say no

earlyor stronglyenough?
Sophia avoided Mike and his attempts to
get in touch with her afer the incident. At
one point, her phone registered 20 missed
calls in one day. She nally confronted him
and she asked, Do you know what you did
to me? She was appalled by his frank
reply: Yes. But you were so beautiful, I
couldnt help myself.
Terret Balayon, former executive
director of a womens NGO that dealt with
gender-based violence shares, It usually
starts out with something harmless, like
watching a basketball game, then it will
progress to eating out somewhere, then
when the guy makes an attempt and the
girl resists, she is asked: then why did you
come with me? Balayan stresses, We
always hear that: Nagbigay ng motibo
yung babae. But what all women should
know is that you have a right to say No! at
any point in a sexual engagement. You
have to claim that right.
WorldMags.net
Looking back, Sophia says that was

probably one of her own misconceptions
about date rape. Im a big-boned girl. I
know Im not sexy in the conventional
way. Id always thought rape only
happened to women who were sexy.
But these experts all say rape can
happen to anyone, and there is no
single type of guy who is a rapistit
can be anyone.
The worst part for Sophia was not
knowing if she was pregnant. Waiting
for my period was the most agonizing
moment of my life. I knew that if I was
pregnant, there was no way I was going
to have his baby.
Information about emergency
contraception is provided by the Likhaan
Center for Womens Health. If youve had
unprotected sex (or afraid your condom
broke), call the hotline to speak to a
health care professional for advice on
administering emergency contraception.
It is a simple procedure that involves
taking the usual oral contraceptive pills
at higher doses and at shorter intervals.
It is safe, legal, and eectivebut only if
done within a 72-hour window from the
time of unprotected sex.
Any woman can be a victim of date
rape. But no woman will ever be asking
for it. Even if you agreed to go out on a
date, going out does not mean putting
out. No will always mean no.

Were healthier and were happier. We look hotter. But a lot of days (okay, most days), there are roughly 10
trillion other things most of us would rather do than wake up early to jog, duck out at lunch for a Spinning
class, or hit the gym after work. To score maximum benets from exercise, experts say we should log three
hours of cardio a week (a combo of vigorous exercise, like running, and moderate activity, like walking) and at
least two strength-training sessions. But only one in ve of us clears that bar. So whats that girl got going for

In her 20s: I worked for the government as a

VP of an electronics company, the youngest and
only woman in executive management.
Success is pursuing jobs that conform to
your beliefs and philosophy. Wealth follows
people of innate talent and of noble character.
What you need to get there: Never stop
learningfrom experiences, whether good or
bad; and from people, regardless of stature,
age and orientation.
Hear, hear: Be wise and very discerning, but
take risks to discover new paths
and horizons.

Merlee Jayme, 47

THE PUBLISHER
Aurora M. Suarez, 39
In her 20s: Designed t-shirts, wrote and drew

comic strips and cartoons.
Success is... doing great work without having to
step on others toes, creating useless gossip and
intrigues, spreading negativity, and being mean to
everyone just to get ahead.
What you need to get there: Be unafraid to do real
hard work.
Hear, hear: Make sure you differentiate yourself
from the rest. Discovering your equity is nding that one word that best describes you as an
employee, your work ethic or even your personality. This is a word that only you can own and gives
value to your contribution to the company.
THE ADVOCATE

P ublisher, Summit Media
In her 20s: Was a brand assistant for Jack n Jill

and her teeenage favorite Seventeen in the Philippines.
In her 20s: I sold just about anything

cookies, jewelry, whateverto augment my paltry
salary as account manager in an ad agency.
Success...can actually be easy. You hear about working

hard and being persistent and thats all true, but sometimes, the odds are ever in your favor and you nd the
job you were meant to be doing.
Success...will scare o timid, insecure men who

know they cant hold their own with you and know
you are so out of their league. Success has its own
natural selection process.
What you need to get there: Integrity and consistency.

I was always someone people could rely on to deliver
what I had committed.
What you need to get there: Be open to learning

new things. You cant use the excuse, Im too old to
learn or re-learn anything nowadays.
Hear, hear: Say yes. You never know where each

opportunity will lead you, who you will meet, and where
the road will take you next. Say yes even when you dont
really want to go. Say yes to stepping out of your comfort
zone and trying something new.
Hear, hear: Let the detractors, disbelievers, and

cynics be your motivation to get up every day. When
youre where you want to be, youll look back at
them and say, Thank you. I couldnt have done this
without you.

Success means...one must be exible. While the
formula of hard work and dedication holds true, work
must also be fun, and your dedication must be dened.
What you need to get there: Keep a balance of interests.
The only way to do this is to hang out with different
people, read a lot, especially on matters that are not or
only remotely related to work.
Hear, hear: Do what interests you. Success becomes a
natural result of that.

are everything.
What you need to get there: Feel so hungry
[you] have something to prove to [your]self.

Hear, hear: Work with integrity. Be reliable,

keep your word, even down to just being on
time. 80 percent of success is just being there
and being on time.
THE BANK PRESIDENT
Nina Aguas, 61
CEO, PBCOM
In her 20s: She was working as an auditor when she quit

her job to be with her husband in the US. With a young
and growing family I had to do the giving up as my husband was on the fast track with his company. When they
returned after a couple of years, she went right back to
work. She would then go on to become the rst female in
Asia to hold a country manager position for an international bank.
Success does not have to come at the price of
family. If you want something hard enough, you can do it.
What you need to get there: We are taught to be respectful
and agreeable, but we should actually speak up.
Hear, hear: I was poor but determined. I came from a
humble family in Tarlacit seemed like a tough climb but
I savored every bit of it. This is the mindset to have to be
able to truly run the world.

at age 27, becoming the VP for distribution for a pharma
company.
Success...always comes at an expense. The misconception is, while working our way to the top, we tend to lose
our femininity, become intimidating, and domineering. I
can attest that being at the top does not lessen my feminine instincts: in fact, it even hones it.
What you need to get there: Choose a realistic goal.
Self-discipline and perseverance are equally important
qualities to ensure success.
Hear, hear: Nurture your early experiences and
appreciate the people you meet and work with. They
could be your future assets.
In her 20s: After three years of admin work at an ad

agency, Pia put up her own events and marketing
company. Faced with the difculty of landing clients,
she diverted her efforts into a modeling agency for
kids. Now, she deals with international celebs like
Taylor Lautner, Lee Min Ho, and 2PMs Nichkhun.
Success is...about nding purpose and fulllment in
what you do and being able to do it right.
What you need to get there: Build good relationships.
Yes, you will not get along with everyone, but you
must keep a certain amount of respect, trust and
even love for most of the people you work with.
Hear, hear: Know your priorities and focus rst on
whats most important for you.

YOUR CAREER
GET-AHEAD GUIDE
Be the Girl
Who Knows
Everybody
People can smell a networking play a mile away, says

Mika Brzezinski, TV host and Cosmoo career coach. A
better tactic is to make meaningful connections over
time and let them pay off in the long run. Use these tips
to do just that, without a whiff of schmoozery.
Reach out when

someone is down.
Stay in touch with

former colleagues.
When a coworker or work contact

gets let go or demoted, get in touch
with her right away, and continue to
check in every few months. Tell her
how much you miss her, and ask
what you can do to help. These people
will be back, and theyll forever
remember your kindness. Thats
good karma that may turn into a
professional opportunity.
Keep people youve worked with on your

radarbosses, cube-mates, etc. You can
do this without being pushy by sending
a nonintrusive just touching base
email or an I thought youd like this
article email.
144
Say thank you often.
People love getting creditincluding for

your successes. Scored a new job? Send a
former boss or your internship

supervisor an email or note: Thank
you for helping me develop the skills
that allowed me to get to this point.
A genuine thank you makes a
powerful impression.
Help your coworkers

and contacts.
I call it following through on being a
great person. Whenever you can, do a
non-work- related favor for someone, like
offering to chat with your bosss kid
about your alma mater as she decides
where to apply to college or connecting
people who have a career interest
in common.
Have coffee with

a competitor.
Meet often with other people in your
field, peers as well as managers and HR
offices. As long as youre not passing on
proprietary info or gossip about your
company or coworkers (major no-nos),
meeting someone who works at a
different com-pany is not cheating on
your employer. It makes you more
valuable because youre connecting with
whats fresh, buzzy, and relevant in your
industry. Plus, the new contact will see
how smart and amazing you are and
think of you for future openings at
her company.
Talk to strangers.
Everyone you meet is a potential contact.
The friend of a friend you meet at your
cousins holiday party could have a great
lead for you. Even if shes on a different
career path, she could introduce you to
technology your company could use or
give you an idea for solving a problem at
work or even tell you about a job opening
youd never have heard about otherwise.
Be blunt.
If youre hitting up a contact for some job
help, dont dance around what you want
out of the interaction. Be transparent.
Hopefully, youve laid the groundwork
and theyll move the moon for you.

Parents. Money.
Awkwardness.
As a kid, negotiating your weekly allowance was probably the
prickliest money conversation you had with your folks. But as
an adult, things are morecomplicated. Help is here.
they paid for my

wedding. I feel awful.
My credit card
application keeps
getting denied because
my dad has credit
card debt.
They need to know what youre

feeling, so the next time they
bring it up, calmly tell them.
Acknowledge their generosity, then
change the topic. You should
remember your wedding for what it
signifies to your relationship, not
for the bottom line. Focus on the
memories you made that day. Pull
out the photo album if you have to!
Whats more taxing than

handling your finances?
Handling your parents. Best way to
deal is to ask them for documents
stating any unpaid balance was
settled. Or, try other banks who
only look at your personal credit
history and not that of your parents.
Alternatively, you can open an
account that can also be used as a
credit card. says Joe Ferreria,
President of Money Doctors
(moneydoctors.com.ph). A debit
card affiliated with either Visa or
Mastercard will function just as
well, but will keep you from
overspending because you only
spend whats in your account.
Its possible this is something

your parents really want to do
for youmaybe they think of it as a
small price to pay for staying in touch.
If thats the case, put the money
youre saving to good use (like an
automatic contribution to your
savings account). If youd feel more
comfortable paying, figure out what
portion of the family bill goes to your
phone usage and opt to hand in that
amount every month.

My mom is unemployed
and asks me for money
then never pays me back.
Think of it this way: Your dad

took money out of his savings
account, where it would have
earned interest, and had you cover
the interest he lost. Was it strict?
Absolutely. But Id guess he was
trying to teach you an important
lesson, that credit has a cost. Two
things in life are incredibly easy to
gain and hard to lose: extra weight and
credit-card debt.
Saying no to your mom can be tricky

and you dont want to micromanage
her spending, so heres another idea.
Instead of handing her money directly,
offer to pay for her to talk to a certified
financial planner (like the people at
Money Doctors). That way, she can get
expert, unbiased advice on setting up a
budget and getting back on track.
When my siblings ask my

parents for money, they get
it. But when I do, all I get is
a lecture.
Years later, my parents

still talk about how much
and when youll pay it back. Its all about

communication and compromise.
Most parents try to be fair, but it doesnt

always work out that way. They may
think you are worse with money or have less
need than your sibs. Or they may not realize
theyre playing favorites. Try giving more
details on exactly why you need the loan

THE
SECRET
TO BEING
Happy
Our m on eys
on th is smart,
soph isticated
GMA st ar!
It took years of hard work for Innamorataa star,

Max Collins, 21, to reach her happy place. Here,
her fool-proof strategies to help you find bliss.
BEING UNAFRAID OF FAILURE
MY LUCKY CHARMS
Im a fan of chocolate. In fact, I love it

so much that at one time, I sold it on
Instagram. It was called Chocolate to
the Max. Unfortunately, it didnt work
out because everyones on a diet now!
But I have no regrets. So my business
didnt ourishkebs! At least I
learned something along the way. I
discovered that I enjoy closing sales
and interacting with people. Now, Im
selling vintage bags online with my
moms help. Dont be scared to try
new things.
Last year, I read a book about

the benets of wearing specic gem
stones. I decided to see if it would work
for me, and it did. I found a nice agate
necklace, which supposedly improves
energy. When I started wearing it, I
became happier. Now, I carry dierent
stones to attract health, wealth, and
love. The funny thing is, my character
Esperanza in Innamorata
a has a ruby
necklace that makes her beautiful in an
instant. In real life, I feel pretty when I
wear my ruby necklace! Wala namang

HEALTHY DETACHMENT

best friend.
INDULGING IN A CRYFEST
When youre busy and dont get enough
sleep, you become very emotional, and
every little problem just gets to you. On
an especially bad day, I just cry it all
out. I let the tears fall because I feel
much better afer. I just need to stay in
my room to release all the negativity
and then Im back to normal.
In showbiz, competition can be intense

and people like to nitpick. I started at
14, so you can just imagine what it was
like. I got so fed up, I went back to the
US and worked a 9-to-5 job, but I wasnt
happy. I realized that while acting is my
passion, I need to learn how to detach
myself from it all. Now, I just look at it
as work. Whatever eld youre in,
remember: Its a job. Its not your life.

Newsash: If you need sun

exposure to get it, then the
healthy tan you covet isnt as
healthy as it looks. If youre
looking to bronze up this
summer, self-tanners your
safest bet. Theyre formulated
with an agent called DHA,
which causes a reaction in the
skin that makes it a few shades

explains Dr. Aivee Aguilar-Teo.

Do your skin a favor and slather

Red-hot red orange will

In the heat of the

probably throw your
hair up into a ponytail
or a messy bun, right?
Heres a sleek, chic

Secure your hair at the

until you hit a length
you like, then pin it in

The temps have climbed, but that

Environmental Science and

If getting cooped up indoors burn you out,
soaking up some natural light will help your
body make vitamin D, which may improve
your mood. (Dont forget SPF: You get a good
dose of D even with sunscreen.)

Pick up the Pace

Outdoor runs and bike rides burn more
calories than hopping on a treadmill or
stationary bike, thanks to natural resistance
created by wind, uneven terrain, and
sidestepping puddles. Plus, gearing up and
taking on the elements is badass.
Just Play
Sports that cool you down while burning cals
like ice-skating, feel more like a when-wewere-kids romp than actual exercise. But
just half an hour burns around 250 calories.
No equipment? Organize a frisbee game
in an open park.

Breast tenderness, breakthrough bleeding, and nausea

HEALTH REPORT
Just Juice?
Before
beginning
any diet or detox
program, check first
with your doctor,
particularly if you
have any medical
conditions.
Curious as we are about this latest health trend?

Cosmoo got two experts to squeeze out the truth
and peel off the myths about juice cleansing
with all the juicy details.
Pick your
(health) potion.
What should I look for in a cleanse?
Its extracting the juice of

fruits and veggies to make
it easier for the body to
absorb nutrients, says
celebrity nutritionist
Nadine Tengco. By going
on a cleanse, you reset
your body by cleansing
your colon, regenerating
your cells, and even
rebooting your palate,
adds sports nutritionist
Harvie De Baron. Most of
us have programmed our
bodies to store fat instead
of burn it. Reprogram your
body by resting the
digestive system.
Can juicing make

you lose weight?
Tengco says weight loss has to
be intended. Some programs
target weight loss, while
others are purely for detox.
Weight loss will happen
naturally because a juice
cleanse involves very little
calories compared to having a
normal meal, says De Baron.
A cleanse doesnt go beyond
1,200 calories, but you have to
be wary of the sugar content,
advises Tengco. Make sure
the ingredients in the juice
encourage weight loss, she
adds. Try capsicum, which
prevents bloating caused
by inflammation.
HOW SHOULD YOU PREP YOURSELF?
Its important to ease into juicing and out of it, otherwise your
body goes into shock, advises Tengco. Bingeing the day before a
cleanse will expand your stomach, which you cannot fill with
food. A week before the cleanse, eliminate alcohol, junk food,
and avoid eating dairy. Eat veggies, and slowly reduce meat
from your meals, Tengco adds. After a cleanse, resist the
temptation to pig out. Go vegan for at least two days, since your
body will have difficulty digesting protein right after a cleanse.

How long
should I
be on a
cleanse
to make sure
its effective?
Doing it for two to three days is fine.

Drinking juice instead of having a
proper meal can be counterproductive in the long run, says De Baron.
By letting your body adapt to this
new manner of food consumption,
your metabolism slows down,
making it harder to keep the weight
off. Being on a juice cleanse for too
long deprives the body of protein.
Tengco advises adding vegetable
protein like Spirulina to prevent
muscle breakdown.
How often should I cleanse?

While doing a cleanse once a month can help you balance your
hormones (do it after your period to help your body cope with any
hormonal imbalance) and help you lose weight, doing it too often
and too long might result in weight loss due to muscle
cannibalization. De Baron urges, juicing should not be used as
a band-aid to counter unhealthy eating. It is a habit you should
add to a healthy lifestyle. Doing a cleanse monthly or quarterly
will allow your body to cushion the effects of stressone of the
major culprits of weight gainby rebooting it, adds Tengco.

Every celeb on IG is
on a juice cleanse.
What is it really?
It should be made of unadulterated vegetable and fruit juices. Pressed

juices oxidize, so the longer juice takes to get from the juicer to you, the
less beneficial it is. It should be consumed within an hour or two,
comments De Baron. To facilitate weight loss, Tengco says, greenleafy veggies are non-negotiable, and fruit should not be the main
ingredient. Include veggies that stop inflammation, like ginger.

Fresh off the success of their criticallyacclaimed CLOSER last October at

another unique, in-your-face theatrical
experience with COCK by Mike Bartlett.

during its off-Broadway run a year later,
COCK revolves around a gay couple
whose rocky relationship derails when
one of them sleeps (and falls in love)
with a woman. Featuring Jenny Jamora,
Topper Fabregas, Niccolo Manahan and
Audie Gemora, this production promises
to be another ground-breaking
production of Red Turnip. It will be
directed by Rem Zamora
Catch a special show of COCK on March 14, 2014!
Called COCK PARTY, it features the award-winning
play, creative cocktails, and more! It will be

SUMMER
SHINDIG
#CosmoStyle
SET UP A BEVERAGE
AND DESSERT BAR.
Summers palette is all about bright,

fun shades. Pick out vividly colored
crepe or art paper and use as
buntings, table runners, or tassels
for popcorn bags. Paper plate holders,
straws, and cord ribbons in neon
colors also add to the festive vibe.
Let guests keep their

cool with ice-cold fruit
juices, a bowl of iced
fruits in season, and
everyones childhoodfavorite: ice candy.
This tin pail (P200 from
Urban Abode) makes
for a great, picnic
accessory, instead of
your typical ice bucket.
HOT DOGS, ANYONE?
Heres a no-fuss,
supermarket-bought
party spread: a DIY
hotdog bar. Grill some
dogs, stash buns in a
basket, and offer your
guests different kinds
of toppings. Cut up
an illustration board
into calling-card-sized
pieces and scribble
labels with colored chalk
so your guests wont
have to keep asking you,
Whats this?
COMFY, COZY, COOL.
Encourage a chika-allafternoon vibe by bringing

out blankets and throw
pillows, just in case your
guests may want to lie on
the grass and daydream.

will make you fall in love with it all over again.
DONT BOTHER: Letting a needy friend drain your
energy. Invite her to yoga if she wants to hang
so you can spend time together without her
bringing you down. POWER OF ATTRACTION:
Youll be loved up by your man all month, but
theres also a world outside your room! Hit the
town as a duo on the 30th and youll turn heads.
(OCT. 23 NOV. 21)

FOCUS ON: The good life! This is the time to
relaxenjoy downtime a bit more, and tone
down your normally strict discipline. YOUR
MANTRA: Ive got the power! On the 2nd, think
about the things youre most proud of. It will
give you insight into your strengths. DONT
BOTHER: Snapping at a close friend. It wont
blow over quickly, so hold your tongue. POWER
OF ATTRACTION: Single? Head to a concert and
youll strike up a conversation with a cute
stranger. Youll have more in common than
just the killer tunes.
CAPRICORN
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20 FEB. 18)
(DEC. 22 JAN. 19)

FOCUS ON: Communication. Its the perfect time
to update your blog, spice up your social-media
commentary, and reach out to old friends. YOUR
MANTRA: Get involved. When you pick up some
new assignments at work, your stellar efforts
will catch the eye of a VIP. DONT BOTHER: Being
stubborn on the 11th. Youre much more likely
to win people over to your way of thinking by
hearing them out. POWER OF ATTRACTION: Ask
your coffee-shop crush to sit with you. Hell
be flattered, and most likely, digits will
be exchanged!
FOCUS ON: A technological detox. Take off a

weekend from social media, and spend it with
friends doing the same. The uninterrupted
conversations will deepen your relationships.
YOUR MANTRA: Home is where the heart is.
Start a new tradition of monthly potluck
dinners with your best friends. DONT BOTHER:
Suggesting changes to your boss. They may
disrupt the positive momentum between you.

charisma is through the roof, so its the perfect
time to flirt it up with your crush. Sparks will fly!
