This young actress is no prima donna. At 16, she’s very professional and incredibly easy to work with.

Stef got her big break on Philippine TV in the fourth season of the reality-based talent show on GMA 7, StarStruck: The Next Level, where she was one of the top eight finalists. The show ended March 2007 and, though she didn’t win, she was given a project soon afterwards as a regular in a TV show, Boys Nxt Door. In addition, she has also modeled for many brands such as McDonald’s, Head and Shoulders, KitKat, SaraLee, Greenwich, CD Jeans, BCNY and SkinWhite in the Philippines, as well as Foremost Milk in Thailand.

This young lady has a lot on her hands, but she sure looked far from frazzled as she sat comfortably in the makeup chair, a bright smile lighting up her face. Sporting a brown tank top, khakis and strappy flats, Stef candidly talked about following her dreams and knowing what it takes to be a real actor.

Punchdrunk Panda-monium!

My laptop is my life, and I would never want anything bad to happen to my baby. That's why I use a special protective sleeve my aunt made for my laptop. It's getting quite worn out, though, which is why I've been on the lookout for a new sleeve that wouldn't sacrifice my style -- or budget.

I recently heard about Punchdrunk Panda, and when I checked out their site, I knew I found The Ones! That was not a typo -- I couldn't choose from the wide variety of ultrachic designs!

Here are my picks:

I love the orange and brown combination on these giraffe print and brown polycanvas sleeve and accessory bag. It adds just enough punch to raise your laptop bodyguard's cool factor.

Make a bold statement with rust corduroy and black. Very hot.

This olive green corduroy and black version would go well with my school uniform. Like I always say, matching your outfit with your bag makes you look more put-together (as long as you don't go overboard!)

You know I can't resist anything that's black and white. I love the classy-slash-funky look of the zebra print and black polycanvas. In the photo are the accessory bag with the small and medium-sized laptop sleeves.


All laptop sleeves are padded with board and 3mm of foam, and lined with nylon oxford. They're available in two sizes for very affordable prices:

  • Small (for 12" screen laptops with a diameter of 3.81 cm, width of 31 cm and length of 23 cm) - 550Php (600Php for the giraffe print)
  • Medium (for 13"-14" screen laptops with a diameter of 4.11 cm, width of 34.2 cm and length of 25.1 cm) - 600Php (650 for the giraffe print)

They all come with a free accessory bag for your charger and other laptop accessories.

For more information and photos of other cool designs, check out Punchdrunk Panda's site.

There are limited stocks for each design, so you better place your orders on your picks right away. Get your baby strapped in now!

Tees Tease

It's tee time again!


How many entries have I written about tees? You can’t blame a girl for loving these comfy wardrobe essentials. You know you love them, too!

Check out these David & Goliath t-shirts that give you an instant fashion statement. Be a big tease with these tees:




"This sucks"


Poor goldfish! The only thing that doesn't suck is the tee. Teehee.


"You rock! You rule!"

What else can I say? It rocks and rules!



"Chillin' with my gnomies"

What's up, gnomie?



"I heart the night life"




The eyes say it all.


"Miss PMS"




This can serve as a warning. How thoughtful!





"One Tough Cookie"


This, too!


Bet it'd be difficult to decide which ones to get once you're in the store. For more designs, visit their website. David & Goliath is available at Trinoma.
