MEG Magazine Celebrates 15 Fabulous Years

So I should have blogged about this days ago but I was pre-occupied with a lot of things.
But here it goes.

Last June 28, 2013, Meg Magazine celebrated a victorious and memorable 15 years in the business and still growing to be one of the best print and online magazine there is.

But before I take you to what have happened that night, let me show you a video.
WATCH! :) 

And indeed, Meg Magazine has grown from being a pretty little girl next door to a young beautiful woman. And there's no better way to face more years to come than a fabulous party on a Tuesday night at Republiq Club, Resorts World Manila with guests dressed on their best Military Glam outfits.

Truth be told, I barely made an effort to dress up not because I know nothing about Military Glam but only because I only have a few hours to raid my closet for it and unfortunately for camouflage, it has never reached my closet, ever. So I wore my favorite white pants and glam it up with a Rajo Laurel coat and Standford Road button-down shirt. 

I texted a blogger friend Janus dela Cruz to come with me to the party and agreed to be my photographer. But since Janus had a shaky hand, I ended up borrowing some photos from Meg's anyway. And we forgot to take photos of our own outfits with so much juicy kwento while waiting for the gate to open. Haha! We even forgot to take the photo of one of our waiting-in-vain partner in the coffee shop, ABS-CBNnews.com web content writer James Banaag and his girlfriend who's fabulously part of I Am Meg's Top 16.

In case you decided to ditched the party, here's what you missed:

Let me start with the long lines of guests waiting to enter Republiq.

While outside, we bumped into John Herrera. And it was funny how he approached and remembers me. Haha! :)

With the talented designers: Paul Herrera, Levenson Rodriguez, John Herrera, Mikee Andrei, Oz Go. 

Since Janus had an itch to smoke since we got into the venue, John went down with us to the drop-off area for a cigar while talking about MEGA Young Designers Competition All-Stars: John and his twin brother Paul's ups and downs, some of the challenges they so have worked hard, and the funny moments being in the competition. But most of all, what they've learned from it.

Not to mention the idea that John and Paul Herrera are now one of the sought after designers from whom stylists call and go to for celebrity dresses as their days humbly turned into an everyday Project Runway-ish day and I quote, "Hindi ako sanay nang ganito." And he laughed.

As we went inside, these were what greeted us.

Colorful booth of Collection Cosmetics.  

Cute little jars of custom Meg sweets from MadeInCandyPhilippines.

Guests writing messages in neon ink on Collection's wall.

Early birds getting a  free Hotlights Lipgloss with a built in light in the cap that is very handy when touching up your makeup in places like dark clubs.

Three charming men Graeme Perkins, Duc Le Tu, and Gerome Medel who helped demostrates how Pouch Mobile App works in getting rewards, easy to manage loyalty cards, and giveaways–all for the price of one free app and a couple snaps of their QR codes. 

The crowd went wild as G-Force opened the program with a sizzling performance of their very own Pow Wow and Psy's Gentleman.

See it for yourself. WATCH! 

P.S Sorry, my hands were a bit shaky too! :) 



Meg Style Ambassador Julz Savard was hosting.

Guests were graced by MEG Magazine's editor-at-large Bianca Gonzales.

And TV 100 program head Michael Carandang giving hints to guests for a bigger and better Season 2.

Style bloggers Laureen Uy and Camille Co on-stage, handpicked three girls from the audience that exemplified the military glam fashion: sweet and feminine, whimsical color, and edgy rocker.

The I am Meg Top 16, all on stage for the first time before the competition starts and holding their flags aloft in victory!

SPOTTED! The hotties Victor Silayan and Luke Jickain.

P.S. I have honestly forgot your names and I don't know how to reach the three of you. Must be because of too much vodka? Haha! Please comment away if ever you see his post. :)

Musician and advocate Abby Asistio, who was featured at MEG Magazine's June 2013 issue.

G-Force's Gelai Aguzar and Jorge Jahnke.

The ever-talented photographer Shaira Luna.
Told ya! Janus hands were 50x shaky than mine! Haha

On their party mood are Jericho Rosales, Kim Jones, Julz Savard, Winnie Wong, and guest. :)
