WE GOT IT COVERED.
Ang mga taga tumblr, ayaw sa sobrang daldal, pa know-it-all. Ayaw rin naman sa sobrang tahimik. Yung tipong walang pinopost, puro reblog. Ayaw sa pa-virgin, at ayaw rin sa beyond malaswa. Ayaw sa mapanghusga, ayaw din naman sa ass-kisser o yung magaling mambola. Ayaw sa anon, pero pag nabo-bored, anon ang hinahanap. Ayaw sa malandi, gusto sa malandi. Ayaw sa mapanghusga, gusto manghusga. Bakit ba? Kanya kanyang trip. lul
Ayaw sa puro reblog. Gusto mga ~*tunay na blogger*~ puro text post, tamad naman magbasa. Yung iba ayaw sa auto liker, nakakaasar daw kasi, yung iba gusto. Ayaw sa may madaming opinyon. Gusto maki trending, nagagalit pag overrated na. Ayaw sa kasinungalingan, pawang realidad…duwag naman. Ayaw daw umibig ng kapwa tumblrista, landi landi lang. Wag sana mabusong.
Dami natin ayaw. Daming gusto. Ayoko ng mga ganitong kadramahan. Pero nagpost ako. oh diba?
ang kabataan. sunod sa uso. may ilang galit sa uso. may nagpapauso. at may kumakapit sa nakagawian. may curious at adventurous. may takot sumubok ng bago. may tapang tapangan. at may nagbubulag bulagan.
ang kabataan. mapusok. may Maria Clara. may mabait. may masunurin. may magulo. may opinionated. may tameme. may liberated at may konserbatibo. may dalaga at binata. may dalagang ina at binatang ama.
ang kabataan. matapang. may palaban. may nag aamok. may takot sa kapwa. may takot sa Diyos. meron ding walang kinatatakutan.
ang kabataan. nagmamahal. may handang pumatay. may pinipilit mabuhay. may torpe. may malakas ang loob. may galante. may kuripot. may legal na pagiibigan. may bawal na pagmamahalan. may malandi. may kabet. may matalino ngunit bobo sa pag ibig. may bobo ngunit hustler magmahal. may naghahanap ng soulmate. may umaasa sa tadhana. may tumatandang dalaga. may tumatandang binata. may nagpaparaya. may madamot magmahal. may nagpapaasa. may umaasa. may nag iilusyon at may buo ang loob na umaksyon.

LAST CHANCE TO CAST YOUR VOTES!!!! :)

OXYGEN: Breath of Fresh Air
Their Battlecry: ‘The World is our Runway.’ Emerging as one of the country’s leading brand of deviant and premium piece of fashion, Oxygen clothing proved that they can walk with the fashion’s biggest brand name in the runway and showcase their style identity with their original designs and edgiest cuts.
Wearing an Oxygen piece is accepting the attitude of walking in as if you own the place. Every clothes, every pants, the Oxygen accessories, they all boil down to one reinforcement, CONFIDENCE.
Wearing an Oxygen piece is owning an above-the-rest piece of clothing. A premium fabric, clothes you don’t often see on any botique or clothing store.
In the past years, Oxygen dominated the local fashion market with their monochromatic colors and designs. This year, they’re embracing selected bright colors (mustard, green, blue), giving life to their androgynous and unisex designs for this year’s collection. Also they’ve invited some well-known artists for their designer tees like Roy Macam’s photographic tees and Spanish artist Marcela Gutierrez who worked with John Galliano and Alexander Mcqueen.
I see a succession of billboards for Oxygen, and I see a simplistic approach on reaching out to the people, specially those who are style savvy and telling them that being different has never been this fashionable. that we don’t have to settle foe clothing lines with no identity.
I can hear their infinite playlist once again.

BLUE PRINTS & BLUEPRINTS
One can list down the basic interests of most tumblristas here. Most of us loves story-telling, being the best comic, plain rebloggers (just sharing the exact same feelings of others), hardcore blogging, photography, travel, fashion, literary, art…style and design.
With all honesty, I don’t know where to segregate myself in all those classifications I mentioned. Of course, the safest answer we all get everytime we’re asked what our blogging style is, would be…”oh, random lang.” Style is something that creates a definition. The way you act, is a style of your personality. The way you dress, is a style of your taste. The way you speak, is a style of your behavior. The way you tell story online, is your blogging style. The way you present yourself to other people, is the art of creating an identity, the style of being visible.
The original plan was just a plain issue about design for the May issue. While looking for the perfect cover that will give justice to this month’s issue, my mind was like backreading, trying to hunt down the possible face we needed. I led myself to a decision of choosing the girl with an engaging smile, tumblr’s sleepless young archi student, the sibling of THE pilosopogyno, a style savvy, charming and always visible to these tumblr meet up, Nadine Seballos (@gwds).
The good thing about Nadine is that she is a very cooperative talent. She’s very excited upon the offered invitation of gracing the cover. One of the few things we’re looking for a cover. The issue was actually two months in the making. On the day Ariel Magyawe’s Discovery Issue was unveiled, I already thought of working on Nadine’s cover. Given that she’s a style diva, (try analyzing her photos and check out those pretty dress she’s wearing), we thought, why not focus on the concept of design and style per se.
This issue is an amalgamation of tumblr’s pool of young designers (be it on graphics, art, fashion or IT) and style enthusiasts (making it a sequel of our fashion issue, which we had on March). Nadine Seballos have this young spirit and juvenile passion for style and design. She’s got the best of both worlds. You will get to know more of our little miss sunshine in this issue.
This month, we unveil TUMBLR MAG AWARDS 2012. We’ll keep you posted on this little award-giving body that will give recognition to the tumblristas that made the notable contribution to the local dashboard. In what way? and what contribution we’re talking about, is what you have to watchout for. Also, we look back to the older days of the tumblr dash. The technical tranformations, from the best to the worst decisions of team Karp. included in this issue would be our rundown of tumblrph’s 10 MOST STYLISH tumblristas. Who will make it to the cut?
Plus! A tumblr close up on the success and visionary flight of OXYGEN clothing. From their monochromatic style collection to this year’s androgynous designs adding some color. We will also feature the existence of a timeless fashion statement, BOOTS! Also, the life and loves of the infamous theme master, Nickastig, the hottest local fashion designer savoring the limelight at the moment, Francis Libiran, and last but not the least, THE Joey Mead.
The closer we get to our Anniversary Issue, the harder it is for me to beat the previous covers. I have this mentality that I have to make the upcoming issue more engaging than the anniv ish. The July issue should only become a sort of thanksgiving treat to all those who supported the magazine all the way. And now that we’re one month away from that celebration, we assure you that JUNE is something you have to watchout for. Next month, let’s get out of THE BOX!
For now, savor the creativity of these young notorious style and design enthusiasts. Because being a tumblrista, is like basking in a shower of inspiring people that makes us realize what talent do we have, and how do we improve them. :)

Glory days pa lang ng friendster naririnig ko na ang pangalan na ByxSpeaks. I have no idea how famous this guy is. I have no idea how he even get there. He’s all over the social media platform, making showbiz buzz. His cutting edge among the other virtual showbiz insider is his appeal to make these beats credible and informative. He drops the issue with so much interest juice that everyone goes loco about it. It’s like, when Byx speaks, everyone is listening. He conquered every social networking site, and now, he’s extending his virtual empire on twitter. His knack for showbiz news makes him one of the notable internet personality we have to watchout for (for those who don’t know him yet).
You know you just can’t get enough with all the showbiz bites you see on TV. All these showbiz talkshows keep on re-telling these entertainment hullabaloos that happened on the week that was. Now what you want to hear, are the untold ones. That’s where Byx enter, like a glitter in the air, he takes you to these never-before told stories (if that’s even a legit phrase). Reading his blog (byxspeaks.blogspot.com) is like enjoying the unrated and uncut version of your favorite movie.
Back when i was having my internship in ABS-CBN, I had the chance to get to know him more (through twitter). I am aware of his virtual popularity and the infamous name he carries. I would like to assume that we had a great companionship from then on. Besides, we’re settling on the same field of interest, the entertainment and media. And after loads of exchanging tweets with him, i realized that we somehow share the same taste for music, and even bets on local reality tv shows. I was at Star Cinema by that time. I thought he was working there or somewhere in ABS. But I just have to let go of that gut feel because his anonimity is what this whole monkey business is all about. Byx Speaks may be one of those fire starter, but for me, it’s more of playing what you think is meant for you. His duty is to give us a dose of showbiz facts and intrigues. Sabihin na nating haka-haka ang ilan, but that’s where ByxSpeaks performs his magic. To make you aware that such issue, such buzz, such intrigue is happening.
I would like to squeeze in more information about him, but I guess, I just have to rest my case and let you guys do the hunt.

Little did we know that Maikho (maikhofranco), Maikhoben Villegas Franco according to his birth certificate (and bestfriend), started out as a small-time but all-out Tumblr blogger in his defunct blog, MayKulangot.
He was known as this skinny tall bitch who’s fond of taking photos of cute guys inside a public transport. He called this part of his blog as “Commuter Cutie.” But Maikhoben is more than boy hunting, farting glitters, and bitching it up. This guys got a pocketful of craziness, quirky stuff, and awfully funny stories. Let us count the things that Maikho has got in his shitbag of psychotic-ness.

For this article, clearly, I learned that interviewing someone’s bestfriend is not the best way to get to know a person deeper. But I cannot really interview Maikho himself. There is something about this guy that makes me cripple down whenever I talk to him, but mind you, we are close friends. Maybe it’s the egoistic aura, or the different kind of swag that he breathes. So this early, I would like to thank Ar Lajara (arlajara) and Rusell Cundangan for telling me the stories I barely knew existed about Maikho.

1. No to aging
I cackled when I heard that Maikho wants to die at the age of 40. It may sound very crazy for someone to wish that he’d prefer to die of a certain age but Maikho is kind of certain and decided about it. Why? Well, he fears aging. He doesn’t want to see his mirror reflect wrinkles, age lines, and signs that he is not getting any younger.
2. Pink’s the color to catch
Maikho’s favorite color is actually pink (and gray), but unfortunately, he doesn’t own anything pink. According to his bestfriends, he just loves things that are pink in color. He loves staring at them. I don’t know why.

3. Trippin’ every single day
Science taught us that our sense of hearing also helps in maintaining our bodily balance. Well, this one doesn’t apply in Maikho’s kinesthetic. This is a trivia. Maikho’s right ear is deaf. When Maikho was younger, an accident happened when he slid on the floor and his chin hit the ground. When he stood up, he noticed that his right ear was bleeding. Maybe due to some impact, his right ear was permanently deafened. This explains why every single day, whenever Maikho’s walking the city with his friends, he would trip, slip, or stumble on the ground. He just never perfected the balance.
4. The name’s so weird
This one, I asked Maikho personally. Where in Earth did his parents cooked his name? According to him, Kho is from his grandma’s name, Corazon, and Ben is from his grandpa’s Benjamin. Mai is just something random, since his mom wants his name to start with the letter M.

5. MaikhoFranco’s the 5th
This is Maikho’s blog line. MayKulangot > SundalongBeki > BaklangBasketbolista > BigoteNiTuko > MaikhoFranco
6. PNE music all the way
If you will have the chance to use Maikho’s laptop, and you will check his music playlist, you will find nothing but a handful of Parokya ni Edgar songs. I asked him why not download more songs, and the usual reply, “Hala Kuya Pael! Tinatamad ako.”

7. Momma’s girl
Maikho’s a mama’s boy (girl). According to Rusell and Ar, he never wants to disappoint his mom, and she’s the most important thing to him, which explains why most of the time, Maikho prefers to go home immediately after class to spend more time with his mother. Maikho is actually an only child, though he had a brother, who he despises, who died in an accident. His mom had two miscarriages and his father died when he was in 5th grade. Clearly, all that’s left for Maikho is to put all leaps of fate in his hands and take care of his mother.
8. Psychology is a slow walk at the park
Maik (as I usually call him) really wants to take a film course in Benilde. But he landed in Psychology. One afternoon, his mother went home from FAITH (that’s a school) and handed him his enrollment and matriculation papers that writes he is now a Psychology student. Since he is a mama’s dude, he didn’t insist an argument but instead went with the flow. Luckily, Maikho is now loving his course (with punches of curses and screams every now and then) and wants to pursue being a clinical psychologist.

9. Pimple free honey
Pimples have no place for Maikho’s face. It is very funny that Maikho actually believes that he has no pimps and denies the fact that his face has pimples. Whenever someone would tell him that he has a new pimple, he will stand tall and say, “Wala akong tigyawat! Yang mata mo ang may tigyawat!” Maikho is narcissistic.
10. The loves of his life
He loves everything. Maikho loves cigarettes, alcohol, anything underground, anything independent, long walks (lots of them), photography, thrift stores, cats, his grandmother, his mother, GEMPRAC (his school clique), cursing, firsthand new experience, doodling and doodles, early mornings, forest, plain black shirts, street lights, his room, big sweaters, ink, skulls, skateboarding, books, his abs, his collar bones, and a whole lot more. To be honest, I would really like to talk about Maikho’s love life, how they made him stronger, how his first official relationship ended after 8 months, and how this person gets him on holding on for a little longer, but I think the decision of revealing such things should lie on Maikho’s hands.

Maikhoben Franco is clearly not your ordinary guy. He is smart, witty, and weird, all makes him adorable and interesting. I must admit that I have a big crush on Maikho from the first time I set my eyes on him. However, this article, I know, did not show the wholeness of Maikhoben, his frustrations, his dreams, his shortcomings. And I realized that at the end of the day, I was the psychotic one here after all. Writing an article for someone so crazy makes you crazier as the sun sets. I hope I stirred well the psycho in Maikho.
To know more of our big boy, check his blog. MaikhoFranco dot Tumblr dot com.
