FROM THE EDITOR
In this issue, Solenn wants to

make one thing clear: She got
married. So what?!
After you take in her stunning photos, grateful that it happened when she
said it wouldnt ever again because she was done with magazines of our kind,
move on over to her profile and read about what compelled her to take back her
words and do FHM for a second time, and in more tempting fashion. It tells
you exactly the kind of stuff Solenn is made of.
She said she was getting all these questions and remarks to the effect that
now shes married, her life as a celebrity must be over. It pissed her off and
so, to make people shut up, she wanted to say no, Im not over, with this: A
provocative cover and 26 pages inside only for Solenn, where she absolutely
outdoes herself. Damn right shes not over.
Its the rebel in her at work.
Its also probably the rebel in Ely Buendia thats working to make his new
venture happen, Offshore records (The Man With the Plan to Save our Music,
p. 64). So now hes not only a musician but a record label co-founder as well.
Knowing full well that this is the business side of his industry and he works
best on the creative side, he is candid enough to admit that Offshore could be a
recipe for disaster. But hes doing it anyway.
From Offshore we expect vinyl albums to come outI know I need a real
album whose jacket or sleeve I can touch and hold and look at while I listen OTHER STORE CREDITS

a comeback. Ely himself will tell you that. T O O L B O X ( F R O m P. 8 0 )

TargeT: Wind pipe

How To do iT: sire says: The throat
is one of the most vulnerable parts
of the human body. even a slight
effort to hit it could be really painful
for the receiver because it is where
the larynx or wind pipe is located.
Your strike doesnt even have to be
strong; as long as you do it quick
enough, it will still temporarily halt
your opponent.

to immobilize him before running

How To do iT: Wait for the perfect
time when youre behind your
opponent, says sire. stick out two
fingers, insert them into his nostrils,
and pull his body weight downward.
Using your other hand, push his
chest down to make him lose his
balance. Once he's fallen, its your
chance to unload on other parts of
his body (or slather his booger on
his face).

TargeT: hanging rib
aTTacking: hand and fingers
How To do iT: The hanging rib is the
lowest portion of your chest, near
the stomach. The tissue surrounding
this area is soft and sensitive, which
makes it a prime target. Curve your
four fingers (point, middle, ring,
pinky) in a hooked position, says
sire. as you hit the hanging rib of
your attacker, make sure to align
your hooked hand to it, as if youre
snatching the last baby back rib at
dinner when no ones looking.

TargeT: side of neck
aTTacking: hand and fingers
How To do iT: if youve managed to
grab a hold of your attacker's neck,
pinch it with your fingers with ample
force, targeting the nerves in their
neck, says sire. in this position,
you can easily block the circulation
by applying pressure on the veins of
his neck even with just two fingers.

Giannina loves theatre.

If you want to take away
something from this piece about her,
thats it. In an age where the term

about working with someone who just genuinely
loves what she doesits infectious.
I got into theater after I had just quit my
corporate job [management trainee, Unilever],
Leading lady
so it was really about doing something out of the
box, about doing things that I knew I loved but
never had the chance to do. It just so happened
that I got bitten by the theater bug pretty hard,"
says Giannina.

I've never done drugs but

that's what I get from the
theater
we wanted her to portray during the shoot made
us so, for the lack of a better term, kilig.
Kilig at the fact that she was kilig. One of
Giannina's many talents is making her audience
feel what she's feeling. Theater is a two-
way relationship between the actors and the
audience. The energy that the actors get from
the audience is so palpable, it's like drugs. Ive
never done drugs, but everything they say about
it, the high, thats what I get from the theater,
Giannina explains. And it felt like we were
watching her show.
Even though Giannina gets complimented
for being a natural actress, she believes that
acting is just like any [other] skillthe more you
practice, the more you do your research, the
more you observe and understand the character
and situation, the better you become. I think
you kill the comedy if you try to be funny. The
comedians are the ones who are so comfortable
at laughing at themselves. You have to find
humor in everyday life, in everything.
So how close is the actual Giannina to
the characters she portrays? I find myself in
situations and emotions that the character feels,
that way I can act more genuinely, which I think
is a very important part of the storytelling were
doing. I think thats the part of Giannina thats in
all of my characters.
Everyone has a chance to touch people
in ways that could make them think and act
differently. Giannina is an actress but she
doesnt need a stage to make people feel her
passion, and as cheesy as it sounds, neither do
you. Every day we get the chance to show other
people different perspectives of the world by
putting enough of ourselves in things we are
passionate about. Im just so blessed that Im
able to do what I love. How many people can say
that about their profession? says Giannina.

to make her laugh. It was pretty obvious during

our shoot when shed suddenly laugh whenever
the atmosphere would get a bit too serious. I
laugh very easily and Id like to think that Im
pretty good at making other people laugh. I find
humor in a character Im portraying and in the
situations the characters are put in. Rightly or
wrongly, that's maybe the first thing I notice in
the characters I play or the scripts I read, says
Giannina.
Gianninas main concern when acting is that
she should be able to convey the feelings of
her character in a genuine way, which makes
her want to try participating in more straight
plays and dramas. Its sometimes hard to fully
empathize with the feelings of your characters in
comedies since their emotions change abruptly
as each scene dictates. The dramatic scenes
can only last so long until you need some humor
to lighten up the atmosphere. Out of all the
plays Ive been in, Red Turnips Time Stands Still
really affected me the most. It was so beautifully
written, and I empathized with my character so
much, recalls Giannina.

s elfies have
never been a
guy thing to
talk about. But
theyve become
so popular
that its almost impossible to
not spot at least one while
scrolling down your newsfeed.
Sadly, not all selfies are that
aesthetically pleasing to look
at. Even worse, some of these
less presentable selfies are
posted by your close friends,
family members, or even your
girlfriend. Thats why were
giving you a few tips thatll help
you and your loved ones look
awesome online.
Woke-up-
like-this
selfie
The Good Remind her that
washing her face is key to not
looking so cranky. Taking your
time to find some good lighting
goes a long way. Ejay Leung,
professional photographer
says, Natural light works best
to give her skin a softer look.
Okay, we might be cheating a
tiny bit, but at least she wont
look like a hungover Sadako
reject.
The Bad We must reiterate:
stop her from taking selfies the
second she wakes up because
99 percent of the time, shell
regret it anyway. Bad angles +
bad lighting = bad picture. There
is no reason to take this selfie
unless shes checking for bats
inside the cave.

Mirror selfie
Oh Snap!
The Good: Our generations interest
summed up into a handy little app. Its fun,
quick, and easy. Therefore, the picture
produced should not be overcomplicated
(its not rocket science). Tell your girl to just
have fun with it, and maybe even send you
a naughty private snap your way so youll
finally have a reason to open the app.
The Bad: Your girl should keep away from
overly used filters. Even though theyre cute,
no one really wants to see a rainbow-puking
orgy. She doesnt really have to make herself
look weirder by contorting her face since
thats what the app is for. It would be pretty
sad if they mistook her face for a new filter.
The Good: People take mirror

selfies so they can get a better
and wider angle when they want
to show their whole body, says
Leung. Its one of the most honest
selfies a person can take since
most of the time, its taken from
a level angle, which lets other
people see how that person
would look like if they were
standing in front of them.
The Bad: Overcompensating in
selfies can really make a person
look desperate for attention. Hence
the birth of the ever cringe-worthy
duck face. Tell her to just act as
naturally as she can and people will
appreciate her baby-I-was-born-
this-way-outlook vibe.

The Groufie
The Good Most people
think that the only person
they have to be concerned
with is themselves. They
dont know that the people
theyre with also shows a lot
about who they are. Make
her friends look presentable,
too, by using a monopod
(selfie stick). This allows her
to angle the camera in a
way that everyone fits inside
the shot.
The Bad One of the most
important tips to consider
when taking groufies is to
make sure that everyone
is on the same page when
you take the selfie. This
is to lessen the chance of
people asking for retakes
Ang taba ko dyan!, Hindi
ako nakatingin, ano ba?!
Butt selfie
The Good Theres a reason why our photographers dont take
just cleavage shots all the time. Leung says, its important to try and
bring out the models assets, but thats mostly the photographers job.
Instead of overselling her features, she should just practice her facial
expressions to make them look more genuine in photos.
The Bad Remember: theres nothing slutty with showing a bit of
skin in photos. (See: If ya got it, flaunt it!) But theres a difference
between showing off what yo mama gave you and just being
downright KSP. Begging people for attention by posting pictures of
just her boobs just makes her look desperate. Believe us, our eyes will
naturally focus on your assets by themselves.
Shower
selfie
The Good Utilizing more
features of the camera/phone
is the key to taking really sexy
and really well-produced selfies.
You actually have a lot to work
with when you consider using
the different elements of your
environment; in this case, the
steam and misty glass to add to
the feel of the picture.
The Bad We cannot stress
this enough, please dont let
her ruin her camera by bringing
it inside the shower. Just tell
her to set the camera on a
sturdy surface and set its timer
so she doesnt have to actually
hold it. This allows her to pose
properly for that money shot.
THE ONLY

Delos Reyes, the 2013 queen does not require giving up meat,
living in the woods, or other intense ways of returning to
nature such as throwing away all our clothes. Simple acts of
following as I do will be impressive for me, [in my case thats]
practically reduce, reuse, recycle. I remember when a guy
showed me a tissue core he turned into an improvised speaker.
It really made me like him more!
We can do that. But living in the woods and throwing away
all our clothes with her doesnt sound so bad either.
