We Love Selena Gomez

Real-life happy ending #1: She’s already found her soul sister.

We’ve all witnessed how short-lived and superficial Hollywood friendships can be. But that’s simply not the case for BFFs Selena and Demi Lovato, who met on the set of Barney and Friends when they were little kids. These best buds have remained supportive of each other through the years, having sleepovers, going shopping, posting videos on YouTube, and basically making a normal friendship work despite being in the public eye constantly. They do get into arguments sometimes, but Selena shares with Twist, “Thank goodness Demi and I have the relationship we do. We’ll sit down and talk to each other and say, ‘Look, I’m feeling this way, so let’s fix it because I love you.’ Sometimes we need to be reminded that we need each other.” Demi tells J-14, “Selena has always been the rock in the friendship. She’s the best influence in my life.”

Learn the Basic Pet-iquette

Frisky and enthusiastic pets can be totally adorable—if they’re yours. But not all human beings are wired to love our four-legged friends. So when outdoors or at the mall, always be mindful of your pet—especially if you don’t want people to shoot daggers at you with their eyes.

Accessories make a statement. My style actually depends on my mood. I can go from laid-back, casual, edgy, or girly with a hint of rocker chic. I love making a statement out of my accessories! :)
Shopping haunts. I usually shop in Zara and if I have time, I check out Forever21. But brands don't really matter as long as that certain piece looks perfect on me. I love to shop in thrift stores too because you get to fish something big and beautiful from a sea full of clothes!...

5 in 5: Patricia Prieto

Where can we find you when you're not working? "Most of the time I'll be at home or at the mall. Recently, I've been going to the beach a lot so you can find me there too. Because when I'm working, it's stressful and it's something that gets me really tired easily. So I like to do things that will help me relax and get my mind off certain things."
What's your no-fail happy thought? "Just the fact that I know there's so many things going for me. I just keep telling myself that so that I don't feel bad. Or if I don't get certain things, I'll tell myself, you know what it's not like you're never going to get that opportunity again or it's not like you're never ever be able to be given the chance to do such a thing. I just keep telling myself, don't worry something bigger and better will just come your way. That's something I always remind myself."
Which celebrities do you find inspiring? "The Olsen twins. I think if I see them at the mall, I'll run after them. I've been a fan of theirs since I was younger. Kaya Scodelario of Skins UK. When I started watching Skins back in 2007 when it started, I already told myself, oh my gosh she's really cool. I look up to her style-wise and career-wise, she's done a lot for herself at such a young age. And last, Kate Middleton. I think it would be cool to see somebody like her because I also look up to her. She's such a style icon nowadays and at the same time she does good deeds. And that's something I want to do and I try to do that in my own little way."
Which actress would you want to play you if your life would be made into a movie? "Maybe Kaya Scodelario. I love how she acts. It seems so real. Like when I watch her on Skins or when you see her being interviewed, it's just so real that you want to tell yourself, 'I want to be just like that if I were an actress.' So I'd love for her to play me if ever my life would be made into a movie.
Where do you see yourself five years from now? "Probably I'll be a designer by then since I'm starting. I've been getting a lot of inquiries to do prom dresses. And I've been taking the opportunity to do that. So hopefully either a designer or a bigger stylist. I style Julia Montes now so hopefully I'll be able to style more celebrities or be able to style more than I already do. And maybe be a known blogger all around the world. You know The Blonde Salad or Rumi Neely, those people, I want to be on that level. Hopefully in five years, or earlier, I'll be one of them."

Surf's Up

Last Thursday, April 18, 2012—together with 8 other lucky girls, we headed to Club Manila East (CME) in Taytay Rizal for the Ellips Summer U Promo's free Surfing Class.

We were all giddy as we put on our rash guards and covered up with sunscreen, we were just too eager to learn! We started out with the basics, of course; a little background, dos and don'ts, parts of the board, safety precautions, tips and finally, how to ride. It sounded so easy to do and very simple indeed once you try it out on land. But with roaring wind and water, it's a completely different story.
