If you can’t buy it, have it tattooed!

Just like (my-not-so-favorite-Hollywood-celeb) Lindsay Lohan during the Cannes International Film Fest. Lilo pays tribute to the fashion house Chanel with her fresh bird-in-flight tattoo on her right wrist which was first seen at the event.

Nice idea. If you can’t think of a tattoo design aside from the usual butterfly, peace sign or tribal, have your favorite designer brand inked on your skin. Hindi ka lang magmumukhang sosyal, magmumukha ka pang siga…

Gandaaaaa. Hahaha.

No I’m just kidding. Don’t do this please, unless you really love designers.

As shown on old comedy sitcoms, grandmas usually stuff their money inside their bras and everyone else gets weirded out by the scene. Would you believe that the idea has already been applied to the modern bra? Introducing the Cleavage Caddy…

What the…? It’s an accessory you can attach to your bra where you can fill your handy valuables in – pen, money, cards and even your cellphone! Haha! This is an answered prayer for girls who hate carrying a purse during parties. Double purpose pa, you can use it as a hidden bag and an alternative for silicon breasts at the same time. Wenk.

Ayun nga lang, bear the embarrassment when you pay bills, answer phone calls and swipe your cards. You have to get your things out of your rack.

Last Saturday (May 22), I attended Candy Magazine’s 2nd year of BFF Camp at Rockwell Tent, Makati. Ok wait, don’t raise your eyebrows at me. I know some of the attendees are waaaay too young and I might be 10 years older than them but at least give me a chance to experience this.

There were supposed to be 200 limited slots for the event but Candy was kind enough to invite me and a BFF to enjoy this day. But seriously, I was hesitant to go dahil baka magmukha akong tiyahin ng mga aattend. LOL! Plus the fact that I have more guy friends than girl friends, I was thinking – who the hell’s willing to accompany me in an event where we’ll do some dressing up and dancing? with 15 year old girls?

But thanks to Ms. AA for including me on the Press Guest List. For that, I wasn’t pressured to dance at all. Haha. Here are some photos from the event:

This year’s Candy BFF Camp was hosted by Magic 89.9 DJs Andi Manzano and Jessica Mendoza. Thanks to Ms. Jessica for the solo pic I requested, my friend almost died when I gave it to him.

I was actually late when I came in to the event, like 6 hours late (blame the traffic at EDSA). So I only got to see the last activity which was the collage making contest.

While everyone’s busy doing their stuff, I took picture around the venue. I wasn’t sure if I can get free snacks (lol) but there were food stalls like NY Fries & Dips and Red Mango. Other booths were sponsors like RRJ, Jergens, Caronia, Russ, Nikon and Havaianas (which co-presented the event).

I still remember that I usually buy Candy Mag’s September issue because of the Candy Cuties, and now I’m seeing them in person! But when one of them called me “Ate” after I requested them to pose for my camera, it really broke my heart. Haha!

Oooh, look what we have here. A surprise for the Candy girls…

…because they gave away the large-sized Candy covers of the Twilight stars. The girls who won the Edward and Jacob posters almost cried after getting their prize. I would do the same if Coco Martin was on the cover.

And Lastly, the awarding and photo ops.

At the end, everyone obviously had a great time participating at the camp. I envy today’s Candy girls because during my teenage years, there were no events like this. The BFF Camp workshops and activities surely help in empowering girls as they discover their creative skills and strengthen their friendships. Also, it’s really overwhelming when you get to meet the people behind the magazine you read. As EIC Mia Custodio says about this event, “I love talking to Candy Girls face to face, and the BFF Camp is the perfect day for bonding. Everything we editors do is dedicated to the reader, and meeting her up close is always an amazing feeling.”

Again, I would like to thank Ms. AA Abjelina of Summit Media for accommodating me.

More details will be featured on the magazine. Candy Mag is available in magazine stands, bookstores, and supermarkets nationwide. For more of Candy online, visit www.Candymag.com.

I got the idea of this blog entry somewhere; showing that life isn’t exactly the way we want it to be. Yeah, Pinoy life is sort of frustrating and funny at the same time…

Oh well, welcome to reality.
