An Open Letter to FHM Philippines
rubyveridiano:
Dear FHM Magazine Philippines,
I’ll waste no time and get straight to the point here. I’m not one to use harsh words, but your March 2012 cover is an insult to the global community. On behalf of women of all shapes, sizes, and skin tones, I feel personally angered by the image you’ve chosen, a clear picture that blatantly depicts the “superiority” of light skin to dark. The...

she lets her hair down (by tiger in a jar)
When Rubi approached us about making a hair tutorial video with her we found ourselves envisioning the over and under cadence of braids set to sunlit gauzy curtains. The idea was less of a how-to and focused more on the feel of a slow-paced afternoon, peeking in on pretty tresses being done up. We hope it inspires a few to try their hair up in...

Things are weird but that's only temporary
I feel like a weight that I’ve been carrying around for 4 years has finally been lifted off my shoulders. I feel so much happier. I can’t let other’s opinions get in the way of my dreams. If you’re really passionate about something, success and happiness will come naturally.
Also, it’s the little unexpected gestures that really touch my heart. Yesterday I was having...

The past few days have been a different kind of hell for me. I sat on my bed wondering if all of this is going to lead to something great in the future. Right now that’s all I have to hope for…But sometimes I think hope won’t help put money in your pocket and food on the table. Sometimes hope can’t repair a relationship that you have with your family and sometimes hope can...

I know too many people that have become too comfortable with their lives and their jobs. Its so important to be able to break free from responsibilities at some point in your life and just to be, to feel what life is like without a constant source telling you which direction to go.

Love Stella. (Warning: article is long.)
jonathanpham:
When I had someone, I think a bit of my occasional sadness started rubbing off on her. She felt that being mine had a direct connection to curing all my ills. I’ll admit she cured a good majority of it. She couldn’t fix all of me and that was fine. I just had issues of my own. Still, she was without a doubt a great girl to me. Point is, I think the last thing a man wants his girl...
