I’m obsessed with the way the Swedish dress. Swedish boys in particular, because they have their A-game on in a way that Manila boys probably won’t come close to within the next five years.

Before you judge, hear me out. If you, like me, have friends that treat karaoke as a competitive sport, a bit of DIY on Spotify might just give you the edge you’re looking for.

Tunes to tune out to as you stare somberly (solemnly, sadly, sorrowfully) out your window at the sheets of rain falling from the gray, gray sky

If there’s one glossy that I look forward to every month, it has to be Porter. When I first got my copy of their maiden issue, with the divine Miss Bündchen on the cover, I knew I was going to get hooked. I’ve read every single page, feature, and editorial in that magazine.

When one thinks of the Flores de Mayo, or the Flowers of May — a month-long religio-historical Philippine custom — some things instantly come to mind: blooms in abundance, of course, and the famous Santacruzan, a procession of the town’s most beautiful young ladies walking under canopies of flowers.

What we discovered while making our respective playlists is that we each have a different idea of what summer is all about. From being lazy in a humid room, fan to our faces, to living it up at the beach, here are songs for every possible summer scenario, from YStyle with love.

[Summary] =>

It’s that time of the year again. You know, the time of the year when we all start stripping down to the bare minimum because it’s just that hot. When it’s finally (mostly) acceptable to go around covered in less cloth than more, which kind of requires getting back in shape and hitting the gym. (Ugh, the gym.)

Single and looking. Single and not looking. Not single but still looking. (Tsk, tsk.) In a relationship. It's complicated. Whatever your relationship status, whatever your state of mind, we've painstakingly put together a bunch of brief playlists to get you through the day.

As you may have noticed, there have been a couple of changes around here. Last year was a pretty good year for us — we threw a bitchin’ anniversary party with Joey Samson, produced a 10-minute documentary and magazine that chronicled the beginnings of the section (anecdotes about guerrilla shoots in Manila and DIY covers abounded), staged the amazing #CuttingAge fashion show together with Olay and of course, had the swankiest Christmas party ever with free valet for all our guests and half a million pesos worth of raffle prizes and giveaways. However, it was also the end of an era as we said good-bye to our former editor, Bea Ledesma, who had been with the section for nearly a decade.

Living in a country where the heat permeates year round, it’s difficult to justify some of the ridiculous and fantastic clothes I like to buy, considering there is very little occasion to wear a furry red jacket or a forest green '90s trench in the Philippines.
