Meg magazine’s May issue is about dreaming big and making it all happen. And for me, i cut the rope and i just made the biggest (and maybe the best) decision ever! It would drastically change my life in a positive way, hopefully, and open new doors for my real dream job. I will write more about that soon You can also e-mail me for the password if you wish to read my “Devil Wears Prada” private post.

I had to accept my strengths and weaknesses to be able to grow and succeed. I had to accept and love myself, because if i won’t then no one will. I love my thunder thighs!

Say hello to my office and its hallway!

The editorial department on a Saturday morning. This was my first time to work on a weekend. Hahaha.

Me and my three favorite girls at Meg (Ning, L.A. and Lea) who kept me sane by understanding and believing in me

I will flood you with behind-the-scenes photos from Julia’s covershoot!

Makeup by Denise Go, hair by Jaime Sy and Photography by Paolo Pineda. Plus Ega Rivera being all hard-working, patient and passionate in what he does best, styling.

My good friend, Neo Rivera, being our videographer Thank you so much!

It’s shooting time! But not literally.

Julia (Mara Hautea Schnittka as her real name) being fierce and funny. She was down-to-earth but extremely talented in acting, singing and dancing. Plus her real-life story sounds like it was straight off one of the TV series.growing up without a father and being raised by her deaf mother and grandmother alone.

The clothes were inspired from Basso Broke’s Spring/Summer 2012 in the runway.

The wild accesories!

The fashion peg was clashing the hottest prints for summer while the beauty peg was soft purple eyes and a square faux hawk, plus loose curls for hair.

In action! Goofing around with L.A. and Lea

This was the second smoothest shoot i have ever organized (the first was the situational shoot). The flow was fast without any conflicts or failures. Thank you Lord for helping me make it happen and pull this through.

The Up and Coming shoot i have organized as well. It was funny when i was with Richard Faulkerson (or known as Alden Richards hahaha) throughout the shoot. He was my schoolmate way back in La Salle Canlubang! These young crop of talents is out to conquer their perspective fields and they’re all set to make it on their own terms.

The beauty and fashion pages! Neon is the new black and trade in the traditional liner hues of black and brown for bright-colored streaks to frame your eyes. Meg shows you how finding the one pair that’ll fit your body type perfectly is a lot like finding your soul mate.

Touted as the next big star, Julia Montes is living up to the title, ensuring that she makes the most out of the break given to her – all for the love of her craft and family.

I am a Carpe Diem person and i always live my life to the fullest. Of course i don’t party ’til i drop nor drink ’til i, umm well, die. Sometimes it’s not an easy road when you always believe in living as if it’s your last. You have to be sensitive and practical also. But seizing the day it makes me think in a brighter perspective and accept things with a lighter heart. It makes me appreciate more of what i have and do big things without fear or regret. Now i am all set to make more things happen!
