12 Male Fail Moments
I was running on the gym treadmill next to a muscular guy who kept checking my speedometer. Every time I increased my speed, he’d increase his too. It was a silent competition... until he lost his footing! I laughed out loud at the sight of him clinging onto the machine, struggling to get back up. —Katlog, 19
Sales boy
My barkada spied a group of girls looking at the latest PlayStation. After much prodding, I approached them to talk about the awesomeness of PlayStation. I wanted to invite them to the arcade to get to know them better, but then a girl said, "Kuya, you're so magaling mag-sales talk! How much is this?" My barkada caused a ruckus behind me. —Mario, 19
Peek-a-bora
My girl friends and I went to Boracay after our high school graduation. We met a group of guys who wanted to chill with us. While we were island hopping, one of the guys lounged at the side of the boat, flexing his muscles and winking at us. My friend nudged me and pointed at something. I turned to look, and lo and behold! I discovered he wasn't wearing anything underneath his swimming shorts. Eew! —Kim, 17
Early bird exorcism
We were required to exercise every morning after the flag ceremony. One day, my overly confident crush was asked to lead the exercises. He looked possessed as he showed off weird karate moves and yoga poses. For the grand finale, his pants split in two! The whole assembly cracked up and he ended up borrowing a pair of used jogging pants from a girl. —Kristin, 19
Hang loose
A guy was trying to impress me by carrying the props we used for a skit. Everyone likes a gentleman, right? Just not one who exposes his flowery boxers and butt crack while grabbing stuff from the floor! —Elena, 19
What goes around
My ex-boyfriend cheated on me with a girl he considered a trophy girlfriend. He'd flaunt her at parties and fairs, and I'd feel completely miserable. Imagine my joy when I found out she dumped him because he didn't pass the Ateneo College Entrance Test! —Sarah, 15
Last resort
Summer was fast approaching and our class started discussing where we’d have our annual out-of-town trip. Everyone got excited when my crush offered her house in Australia. Thinking she was pulling our leg, I said, "Really? We have a resort there!" She turned to me and asked which one. I turned beet red and mumbled that it was just a joke. Apparently, she did have a house there! —Liam, 18
Falling for you
I had the biggest crush on a boy in my English class. We were group mates for an activity, and he volunteered to present the report. I offered to do it with him, but he said loudly, "No, it's okay. Kaya ko 'yan! Ako pa!" Brimming with seld-assurance, he walked up to the blackboard… and accidentally tripped on someone's foot! He fell flat on his face in front of the whole class and lost all his confidence! —Ana, 18
Fab footballer
My guy friend asked if I wanted to watch his soccer game. Before the game started, we hung out by the bleachers. I asked him to show me how to kick a ball. We went to the goal area and he told me to act as goalkeeper. He assured me I wouldn't get hit because he had great aim. As I stood there at the goal, he came running towards the ball and fell flat on his butt as he kicked it. Poor guy! —Gina, 17
Memory malfunction
My brother was reading a book on how to enhance one’s memory for a debate he joined. He was being obnoxious, reading out loud, and announcing he could memorize so much in so little time. Finally, he left and went up to his room. A few minutes later, he came back, hands on his head, and said, "Did you see my book?" He sure did enhance his memory! —Danisa, 14
Driving range
I agreed to go out on a date with a guy who lived in the same village as I did. We were about to get the car keys when his yaya scolded him and said he wasn't allowed to drive the car. In the car, he talked about going to Tagaytay. We never made it out of the village though. He panicked as we were driving out of the gate and the car started shaking uncontrollably. I stepped out and walked back home. —MM, 17
Steak slip-up
I decided to take my guy to a family dinner. He showed up squeaky clean—sporting a new 'do and dressed to the nines! It was a formal affair, and he impressed me by knowing which utensils to use. I was smiling at him—when the slab of steak he was slicing flew off his plate! Worse, my dad was watching us the whole time. —Sam, 17

Mood dressing. My style adapts to my mood. I'm a rocker by heart which means black, studded, or ripped clothes are my thing. But growing up I learned to step out of my comfort zone and started to dress more feminine and experiment with colors. I like looking chic and fabulous.
The usual haunts. My Mom shops for me most of the time, but if not, I shop from nearby boutiques like Glam Zone and Wearelse. Or to Penshoppe, Oxygen, Forever 21, and Cotton On....
5 in 5: Kryz Uy
What's the sweetest compliment you've ever received? "I have so many sweet readers, but I guess one of the sweetest ones would have to be me getting a personalized letter air mailed to me from London. She said that she checks my blog every day. Every time she wakes up and before she dresses up, she goes to my blog to see what I'm wearing and she tries to copy my outfit. It's so simple, but it really made my day because someone as far as London and I'm all the way in the Philippines. It was so amazing!"
What are the top 3 things you love about your hometown? "I love Cebu so much because (1) it's such a small city. You know all the places to go and you know everyone there. It's really like a small village and everyone is your friend. (2) I love that Cebu is so close to the beach. So whenever you're feeling sad or on your free time, you can just hop in the car and in thirty minutes you're at the beach! (3) And lastly, I love that Cebuanos have their own sense of humor. Everything is funnier in Cebuano. And we're so proud to be Cebuano."
What do you usually do on your time off? "I usually go through fashion blogs—just kidding! I usually hang out with my friends, go out with my boyfriend, go to the beach."
Describe your favorite dessert. "My favorite dessert is creamy, with layers of crunchiness, and it's very sweet and very fruity!"

Summer DIY: Cropped Top
Cropped tops are trendy once again. With this sweltering heat, it's not a surprise! You can use these as a beach cover-up or layer it over thin tank top or if you're confident enough, a cute sports bra.
You don't need to shell some cash to get in on this trend. (We know you have other more fun and important stuff to spend your summer money on!) Just grab some old shirts and just DIY it!

...A Guide to the Candy Style Awards
Check yourself out in the mirror. Yep, we just told you to check yourself out. This is to see if your dress is see-through (it has happened, believe us!) or if you have one too many necklaces around your wee little neck. It always helps to do a once-over before you head out the door.
Load up on energy. It's going to be a pretty long night so we suggest that you take a heavy merienda or early dinner. There are tons of places you can eat in in the Rockwell area. And you'll be glad you ate once you enter the tent and can't bear to leave.
