Valentine's Day is upon us once more! For the lucky in love, it's a time to shower their significant others with affection in the hopes of finding a special present at the end of it all (only joking, I think). For the happily single, it's a day like any other, regardless of what the street hawkers peddling long-stem roses say otherwise.
While brainstorming ideas for this blog entry, I knew I had to somehow relate it to the 14th of February. As I sat in my bed, idly flipping through TV channels, I chanced upon Justin Timberlake's performance at the 2013 Grammys. "Love the dapper suit," I thought to myself as JT's smooth vocals filled the air. Suddenly, the camera cut to Jessica Biel (aka Mrs. Justin Timberlake) cheering and singing along—with none other than Beyonce and Jay-Z beside her. And there, in that split-second frame, was my next blog topic.
Ridiculously rich people who happen to be friends? No. Something even better: ridiculously rich people who happen to be dating or married, and have impeccable style. (Of course, you already knew that just by reading this entry's title.) So, in honor of V-Day, here are my top 5 stylish celeb couples:

Having next to no vices is not the same as being healthy. Just look at me. I don’t smoke, I hardly ever drink, I don’t do drugs, and yet, I can’t even do a decent push-up. My reflexes aren’t fast, except when I’m making a lunge for that last spicy buffalo wing. Even then, that’s probably because I’m the only one who really wants it. And if you’ve been following our “Get Physical” FN Challenge, you’d know that the simplest workout routines take a toll on me. Clearly, I’m not as healthy as I thought.
It’s quite funny actually how I used to think I was in such good health. Among all five children, I was the one who never had to worry about asthma. I was also quite active as a child, excited to play patintero and mataya-taya after school.
Unfortunately, and I realized this quite late, I was also the one who had a certain proclivity for drinking soft drinks (my late grandfather would have crates of our favorite carbonated drink ready every weekend).

This year, however, I’ve been making quiet strides toward a healthier lifestyle. Here are my top five motivations that help me stick to my goals:

Planning to attend the biggest photography event of the year? Here are things that you should do:
Manila is a great place for good food, with several pockets in the city lined with restaurants that aim to satiate every possible craving. As a girl who’s perpetually on the “see-food diet” (I see food, I eat it), I’m always on the lookout for restaurants to add to my never-ending “must eat here” list.
