From Our Readers: To the Guy Who Almost Had Me

Nearly three years ago, when you came and showed up in my life. I never knew that you'd be that important and significant because you were really broken back then. It was me who picked up the pieces and saved you from heartache. It was me who saw you when you just wanted to cry and scream all night.

You almost had me at hello. You almost had me during our 3AM conversations. You almost had me with your sweet words. You almost had me with your cheesy lines. You almost had me because you showed me how great it is to be loved by me. I almost had you, I know. But it never really happened and I never really did have you.

10 Guys Who Look Cute In a Plain Black Tee

There's just something about guys wearing plain-colored shirts that make them even cuter. We don't know if it's because the lack of detail in what they're wearing brings all our attention to their face. Or it's because the saying less is more is actually true for them. But who cares? These guys in plain black tees look great, so that's everything we're putting in focus right now.

7 Things They Don't Tell You About the ACET

 1  It's not science.

It most definitely isn't. The Ateneo College Entrance Test (ACET) is known for its test content being mainly composed of English, reading comprehension, logic, reasoning and Math. Science is not a part of the test, so that's one less major subject to study!

From Our Readers: Maybe In Another Lifetime

The first time I saw you, I stopped in my tracks. You were one of the faces I rarely see on campus and on that first day of school, we were assigned to be in a class together. Chemistry. How original.

Since then, I saw you every day and that made me happy. You see, I'm one of those girls who would rather adore a crush from afar rather than flirt with them. So that's what I did. I admired you from a distance. For the first few weeks, my crush on you wasn't that intense—not yet. Until I got a glimpse of your personality. Then, I was captivated. You're confident, intelligent, assertive, and fun all at the same time. You inspired me. I knew this crush wasn't superficial anymore because I fell for the whole you, not just your looks.

This Is How You Can Tell You're Finally Over Someone

As you all know, Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber have been in an on-and-off relationship for as long as we can remember. There were moments when we thought that they've finally called it quits, have moved on with their lives, and have finally learned to let each other go. But there were also moments when we read about how they were spotted together or that they decided to give their relationship yet another chance. 

But in her interview for Elle, Sel revealed that during her performance of "The Heart Wants What It Wants" for the American Music Awards, she knew that she needed to just be done with the relationship. "Everybody was talking about the same thing: my relationship. I was so exhausted," Sel said. "I said, 'I want this [performance] to be the last time I have to talk about this. And acknowledge this feeling. I was kind of devastated. I was like, 'This is all I have right now. This is gonna be it. And all I want is to move on.' It was a huge weight lifted off me. That's why, from this point on, I know I can prove myself, you know. I haven't scratched the surface yet." (via J-14.com)

5 Things You Should Definitely Do When You're Stuck in Traffic

Traffic is a reality we face in the city today whether we are on the way to school, work, gym, or the mall. We spend hours and hours daily just sitting and waiting for the car in front to move, or for that red light to turn green. At times like this, our go-to pastime is our favorite social media accounts. We continuously scroll through our Twitter feed, Instagram feed, and Facebook timeline. At times, we turn to the games on our smartphones, like good old Candy Crush. What we don't realize is that the hours we spend doing trivial things when stuck in traffic can equate to months and months of our lives. Get a jumpstart on productivity, and try staying away from your social media accounts once in a while. Here are 5 things you can try doing next time you are caught in a traffic jam.

Style Files: Camila Cruz

Name: Camila Johanna C. Cruz
Age: 17
City: Paranaque City
School: De La Salle College of St. Benilde

My style. It depends on the mood or how my day looks. For instance, when it's summer, I'd go for something boho or floral. If it's a lazy day, I'd just throw on a black or white top with shorts or my ripped jeans.
Shopping faves. My go-to retail stores are Forever 21, H&M, Mango, Cotton On, Zara, and Uniqlo. I love shopping at SM Department stores too because they have affordable clothes and nice designs. 
Style icons. There are so many style icons out there. If I were to go casual chic, it would be Alexa Chung. When it's bohemian or gypsy, I opt to style my outfit like Vanessa Hudgens. 
Style influence. There are a lot of fashion bloggers out there that have influenced my style. I came across Kim Jones's blog and I absolutely love her style!
Closet colors. My closet's color palette is basically a good mix of everything. It has a mixture of florals in different colors and hues. I have a good amount of striped tops as well.
Fave accessory. The Betty sunglasses from Sunnies Studios.
Never wearing. Inappropriate clothing. Combinations like crop tops and short shorts are not for me.
Trendy return. Dresses with pockets! We need more of those here.
Best bargain. I bought this coin pendant necklace in River Island for only P190! It also goes with every outfit I wear. 
Vintage love. My mom gave me this blue, oversized, slouchy cardigan. She bought it at a vintage store a long time ago.

From Our Readers: We Had the Right Love at the Wrong Time

Sophomore year, I can still remember every single detail as if it were just yesterday. How you would say "hello," and it would make my heart race. How seeing you from a distance would make my heart cry out of joy in an instant. You had no idea. You turned my world upside down. You were everything I ever dreamed of, everything I prayed for.

It was your senior year. You told me you loved me and I couldn't be happier. You filled my life with nothing but blissfulness. The world once so dark and dull suddenly became kaleidoscopic. We were together, and that was more than enough.
