porke’t ba on the heavy side na ay hindi na pwede mag artista?

i remember the first ever FHM issue na binili ko out of my allowance is the one with Francine Prieto on the cover.

yun na nga, inayawan na siya ng Bubble Gang. well, di naman natin mablame ang Bubble Gang or GMA or even any TV stations. business is business. you have to take the load off when it is not needed anymore.

but at least you could have given Francine a chance to work on other programs? she can do like, nanay nanayan roles na. speaking of nanay, it’s sad the she is left jobless at the time when she needs a job the most: may cancer mom niya. kawawa naman.

this, month FHM will celebrate it’s 10th year anniversary by presenting you the thickest issue ever of the said local men’s magazine, spearheaded by two of the hottest hitads on the land today: Iwa Moto and Bangs Garcia.

it was first stated that Angel Locsin will appear on the cover for the special edition but somehow backed out for unknown reasons.

this issue includes 25  hottest women that defined FHM Philippines, 21 FHM heroes, 10 new shoots of potential sizzlers, and of course, what is a celebration without any freebies.

so don’t forget to grab one! i’ll be taking an Iwa. or both. idk. perhaps an Akihiro.

i bought my FHM February 2010 immediately after seeing it on display in a pharmacy cum convenience store early this morning after hitting the club.

i immediately bought it because, HEY HEY HEY IT’S RUFA MAE! IBANG LEVEL NA TOH!!!!

yes, i am fan of Rufa Mae. i was a bigger fan then, right after watching her big hit Booba! but now i’m just a fan. hehe.

so yeah i bought it, but i am AMAZINGLY DISAPPOINTED with the current issue. boo!

no it’s not Rufa Mae’s fault. i even think this must be her sexiest shoot yet, beating out the one she did for Rogue.

first let me talk about the cover. the cover is sexy indeed. but after i really took a good look on it, it seems like the cover was taken using a camera phone. so i know that the photographer was going for a depth of field kind of effect, but it is not done in a good way.  i actually like the cover that did not make it (if it is really) which you can see on the table of contents. the blurring is kind of poor, and i can also some unnecessary noise. in short, the cover is crap when you take a second look.

so on to the cover story..

*but before that i would like to make it clear that i am not buying it for the girls inside, but just for collection’s sake. lolz. also for the photography and styling.*

the concept of the shoot is nice: valentines na valentines! the styling on Rufa Mae is not bad as well as her poses. but what really gave me a frown is the photos and the post-editing that were done.  Rufa Mae looks like a clown who just had had her lips injected with collagen (especially on the second set of pictures). eew. and  also most of the photographs spell PHOTOSHOP. her face is sooooo unbelievably smooth that she looks like she just had a pail of botox injected, too. or a sandpaper was used to apply make-up.

i said to myself “who the hell took the photos?” i immediately looked for the credits and it read “Photography: Xander Angeles”

ok. so he might have been the best out there during the Maui, Andrea, and Katya days but he lost his magic somewhere. my admiration for his work began to go low when i saw one of his works from the same magazine some time in 2007. the pictures don’t have great composition, one of the poses of the model looks like as if she’s going to take a dump (and with matching cig pa yun ha?) and it was not well lit, making most of the photos 80% in the dark. i cannot even call it classy. not even close to art. it’s just plain :facepalm:.

i know that FHM has to thank Xander for helping them become the No.1 magazine in the Philippines, but can they say anything about the photos he just took?

aright, you can still buy FHM for the cool articles and features inside (loving the LV car), but if anything, wait for the back issue sale, instead.

the original Booba is on again for the third time!

one of the sought after comediennes in the Philippines, Rufa Mae skyrocketed to fame when she portrayed Booba, a naive, dumb girl from the province who has every men run after her. since then she’s been visible on TV, movies, commercial ads, variety shows, and more. you can catch her regularly doing her usual funny antics in Bubble Gang, Darna, SOP, and Showbiz Central.

and she is on the cover of FHM for the month of February, making it her third time to appear on the cover of the same men’s mag.

so guys, GO GO GO and grab a copy now!

because for the first month of 2010, FHM is handing you a good serving of Rice. Jackie Rice that is.

this 19 year old Starstruck’s Ultimate Winner for its third season, is the first covergirl for this monthly rag.

this is the third time FHM Philippines let a starstruck alum grace the cover… IN A ROW

Starstruck 1′s Jennylyn Mercado appeared last November while LJ Reyes, who won first runner-up for the second season appeared last month. coincidence, maybe…

and my, FHM reinvented itself once again..

i say, good choice for new year banger! i’ll go get a copy, and you should, too!

=P

FHM lately is going down the nostalgia lane. last september, to comemorate Cristine Reyes’s win as this year’s sexiest Filipina, she appeared on the cover, making it her 2nd time. last month, it was hot momma Valerie Concepcion graced again the cover in a lingerie and a fake, thank you doctor-ish looking fishlips, making it, again, her 2nd time since july of 2006. now it’s jennylyn’s turn once again.

Jennylyn, although already a mom of one, still has her wetwew body in place and looking without of a trace of a lactating mom.imight add, she looks even better now. how’s that for a behlat, Patrick?

as how i see it from the cover, she looks like a yaya just woken up trying to wax the floor. how do you see it? hehe

catch Jennylyn in her primetime drama Ikaw Sana, together with Pauleen Luna, and i-don’t-know-why-people-find-him-hot-and-cute-but-i-don’t-know Mark Herras, who is rumored to be his lovey dovey as of late. i do not watch TV that much anymore but i think the time slot of Ikaw Sana is right before 24 oras.
