HOW TO SOU N D

When theres
smoke
Two things we learned while
trying to shoot reworks: First,
its considered disturbing
the peace when you set off
reworks if its not done during
holidays even when you do it
in the vacant lot beside your
house, according to manong
tanod; second, that if all else
fails #vapelife will save the day.
Who needs fancy pyrotechnics
when you have makeshift humansmoke machines to provide the

A large part of rework
development goes
into making electronic
reworks. These are
usually used for indoor
purposes, especially
during large celebrations
such as weddings or
corporate events.
R U B B I NG TH E
W R ON G WAY
If you ever end up
working with or around
reworks, someone will
probably tell you to wear
cotton and/or denim at
your workplace. Thats
not just them pulling
a newbie prank on
you. Synthetic material
contains static electricity,
which could set off
recrackers.

According to research
from the Smithsonian,
China may have come
up with the ingredients
for reworks, but it was
actually the Italians who
had the idea of putting
them in the ice cream
cone-like shells that we
use today.
B L U E BA L L S
There was another
discovery that the Italians
came up with, says the
Smithsonian. They gured
out that adding balls of
metallic components to
reworks could produce
different colors aside
from the usual yellow and
orange.

The rework business
in the Philippines
doesnt peak only
during the New Years
festivities. Fireworks
are actually in demand
for the entire year: for
estas, weddings, and
even company events,
according to Astronomo.
B E ST T IT L E E VE R
There was a position
in the English royal
court with the title Fire
Master of England. It
was awarded to the
best rework-maker
in England by Queen
Elizabeth I herself. Were

Michael Bay.

that your notion of what sounds right becomes highly personal and
subjective, says Paman. Audiophiles tend to build and upgrade based
on a lot of different factors, ever in search of a combination that
delivers sound just the way they like it. But to simplify further, Paman
breaks the factors down into three general categories:
First, Source Preferences: Your choice of playback medium.
Some people will gravitate toward analog sources (turntable, reel-toreel, or tape) or digital ones (streaming, lossless formats or CD).
Second, Amplication
Preferences: Your choice
on how to power your
speakers or headphones.
Some people gravitate
toward solid-state power
or tube/valve-based
amplication.
And third, Speaker
or Headphone
Preferences: Your choice
on how to immediately hear
music. Some people prefer
traditional dynamic speaker
drivers, some like hornloaded speakers, and others
prefer the intimate quality of
high-end headphones. The
nuances between all these
categories are learned
over an extended period of
auditioning and listening to
equipment, discerning the
differences in the quality of
music they produce.
Being an audiophile
isnt just a complicated
hobby; its also quite costly.
Thats why its almost
always necessary to join
a community, such as the
Filipino Audiophiles Club
(FAC) and Audio Pilipinas
(APIL) on Facebook, to get
advice and guidance from
veteran audiophiles. Aside
from the banter and wealth
of information you can
absorb in these groups, they
also organize meet-ups that
let you audition gear in all
price points, says Paman.
Even as a lurker, you can
back-read topics aimed at
audio newbies and read up
on posts that delve into the
minutiae of audio. Coupled
with regular auditioning, this
is the best way to learn how
to be an audiophile.
But ultimately, the joy
of the hobby is in the music
itself. The excitement and effort that go into buying and assembling an
audio setup is, to most audiophiles, only half the fun, if at all. Much of
the pleasure is in the music. At the heart of being an audiophile is the
fact that music should be accorded the same reverence and attention
that we have for the other modern modes of entertainment, says
Paman. All this convenience is costing us our attention span, and Ive
found that sitting down and listening intently to a setup youve curated
and painstakingly assembled as it plays a cherished album is the
perfect remedy for stress. It contributes to a richer inner life and [puts]
a permanently stamped grin on my face.

You probably rst heard it in a movie and, like Tom Cruise and Ryan Gosling, you condently spewed it.
Problem is, you dont look anything like Tom; neither will anyone mistake you for Gosling nor his cousin
twice removed. Also, the line is perfect fodder for todays feministresponding with something like: I can
buy my own drink, thank you very much, you Tom-Cruise-Ryan-Gosling-wannabe.
Do this for 2017: Hi, can I buy you a detox drink?
Or whatever coffee concoction Starbucks has come up with. You can also try with a McFloat. Itll largely
depend on where you meet (the gym, overpriced coffee place, toxic fastfood provider). Point is, stop
bothering women at a bar. But if you nd yourself in a shit-I-think-Ive-found-the-woman-of-my-dreams

9:00 p.m.
I knocked on the door of his apartment. Inside, I could
hear him fumbling around. And then he opened it and
looked at me with a dashing smile. He was handsome
and charming, and I immediately wanted to kiss him.
I met him the night before, at a party full of people
who worked in production. He was an actor for indie
movies, and I was there accompanying my friend who
was a writer. I spotted him and knew who he was right
awayIve seen his movies before. But I had never
expected that he would return the gaze. He looked at me
from across the room, and we smiled at each other for
some time. Then, when we got near each other, he asked
me, Who do you know here? And it wasnt long before
we were talking. We struggled with the small talk: What
do you do?, What are you drinking? And then the next
thing I know, he put his hand behind my head, as I was
in the middle of a sentence, and kissed me, sliding his
tongue inside my mouth with aggression.
I kissed him back, but pushed him aside when I
realized we were in public. My friends were in the same
party. Sasha, my writer friend, had passed by us on her
way to the bathroom, and she glared at us angrily when she saw how
he leaned into me, our faces just inches away from each other.
She pulled me aside, No. Not him. You can hook up with anyone
else, but not him.
He had quite the reputation of sleeping around, she said.
But he was handsome: with a dimple that dotted his left cheek.
And polite. Plus, its not like I was looking for a boyfriend, and I always
wondered what it would be like to sleep with a pseudo-celebrity. He
asked for my number, and though we didnt do anything during the
night of the party, the following day, I found myself in his apartment.
Mmmm. Fresh from a shower. He said, kissing my neck. And
then he picked me up and carried me to the bed. We began to kiss
ravenously, hungry for each other, before he pushed me down on the
bed. I want to eat you out. He said, commanding.
And then he started. Slow and gentle, not at all like how the other
men would do it. His hands wrapped around my thighs and pressed
against my pelvis, as his tongue slowly slid up and down my clit,
massaging it in a consistent, gentle rhythm, without the grossness
of slurping or biting or sucking. He achieved it with just a rhythmic
motion, making me wet and horny.
He didnt stop and kept at his pace the whole time. My body
writhed under his arms, as his tongue kept at the up and down
motion, his hot breath tickling my delicate skin. I could feel myself
getting wetter, wanting him more and more. It was thrilling. It felt so
good I cocked my head back in delight. Im going to come, I told him,
panting, pulling his head back, but as I said this, he pushed his head
down even more, flicked his tongue against me even faster, until my
hips were up in the air, pulsating with orgasmic euphoria.

PREDATORS
THE PHILIPPINES BIGGEST AND BADDEST CREATURES
The Philippines is a hotbed of ecological
diversity in plainspeak, it has a wide
variety of animals. Where there are
animals, there are predators.
And where there are predators, there are
apex predators: the kings of the food
chain, to whom the term eat or be eaten
does not apply.
But just who are the kings of the
Philippine jungle? Here are some of the
biggest and baddest in the country:
1. The Killer Whale: (Orca)
While we do have Great White Sharks
swimming in our waters, the Killer Whale
is the biggest sea predator around. They
typically dont attack people, but they
often prey on other whales, dolphins,
and even sharks. Yes, orcas are the only
predators known to have taken down
grown Great Whites. Given that they often
grow as big and as heavy as a bus, thats
little surprise.
2. The King Cobra: Its not taking
down carabaos left and right, but the King
Cobra is the biggest venomous snake
around. It actually preys on more common
snakes, making sure its higher on the
food chain than its own relatives.
3. The Saltwater Crocodile:
The Philippines is home to two species
of croc, the smaller Philippine Croc from
Mindoro and the Saltwater Croc. Lolong,
a member of the latter species, was the
largest ever crocodile held in captivity,
weighing over a ton. Before his capture,
he was believed to have eaten at least
two people.
4. The Askal: (Asong Kalye Street
Dog) Dont laugh. These mutts were
responsible for more human deaths last
year than all other predators combined.
Rabies from dog bites kill some three to
four hundred people every year in the

THE
SECOND
TIME
COULD
BE AS
EXCITING
as the rst timeif you could make it
feel like the rst time. We think that
is exactly what happened here.
Just 13 months ago, FHM was
looking for a fresh face to introduce
to you. We were looking through the
Internet for possible leads, as we were
already convinced as far back as 2010
that online was the new frontier for
cover stars. Our gut feel was strong
for Kim Domingo.
Back then she was a nobody in
traditional show business, but was a
certied celebrity online. We can still
remember quite clearly the power we
imbued her maiden FHM appearance
with this cover blurb: 80,000
Instagram, 800,000 Facebook,
3,000,000 YouTubeand shes not
even a celebrityyet!
A year later, she is. Big time.
Saying yes to do the FHM cover
in December 2015 was a big risk,
shares Kim. Walang nakakakilala sa
akin sa showbiz nun, so 50-50 yung
chance ko to get good reception of
that cover. Maaaring ma-bash ako and
maging op yung cover, o magiging
PANTASYA
NG BAYAN.
A term rst branded to sexy actress
and former FHM cover girl Joyce
Jimenez in the late 90s is now slowly
and closely being associated with
Kim.
Hindi ko siya tine-take as
something negative, she says. May
iba kasing mga tao na nakikita siyang
mali. Iniisip nila na gustung-gusto
ko raw na pinagpapantasyahan ako
ng bayan at ng mga kalalakihan.
But to her, its beyond being ogled and
fantasized. Para sa akin, celebration
yun ng kagandahan at kakayahan

Things are looking more fashionable on the
tech front with the inux of wearables.
Smartphones have long been an accessory
but watches are the real indicators of social
status. The richest, of course, will don
Hermes-banded Apple watches and Tory
Burch Fitbits.
Athleisure will be a popular portmanteau
and fashion statement. Fitbits will look really
good on anyone who likes to dress as if they
were always on their way to the gym. Society
will collectively nd its chill in comfortable
athletic wear in which sneakers are boss
and yoga pants are not only worn by moms.
Kanye himself has a line of athleisure
products. Do not be surprised if Lululemon
stores open at the hippest malls.

In line with unhampered consumerism, more
and more people will post atlays on
Instagram, and if theres an industry that
will thrive from the aerial view, its the food
industry. Cookbooks on print will have to
work twice as hard, however. They will need
to be noticed in a world where people learn
to cook by watching random recipe videos on
Facebook. Ignore the fact that those videos
make you crave food at midnight more than
they encourage learning. Tasty!

again. Dont worry, AlDub Nation, reunions

Last year was a boom year for Pinoy
music. New albums in various genres
were released in rapid succession.
Indie acts got signed to major labels
(theyre still alive!). You could say that
were probably in the thick of another
musical boom like what happened a
decade ago, when Sugarfree, Sponge
Cola, Up Dharma Down, Mobstarr,
Kamikazee, and Urbandub ruled the
airwaves.
But you wont hear much of those
bands in 2017. In fact, some of them no
longer exist. In the age of Soundcloud,
iTunes, Spotify and many other popular
platforms for music, there is a trove of
new acts, the sheer number of which
we have not seen in the local music
scene in quite a while. We had a tough
time singling out who we thought were
doing something special.
These new bands have eschewed
the heavier guitars of the past two
decades in favor of more light-fare
groove and chill.
But there are still old souls on our
selection, proving that when reinvention
works, its like being a young band
again. Here are the local acts you
should be listening to this year:
Remixing is not only limited to
music. As we have seen on this
list so far, it applies to musical
membership as well. Get the
guys from Freestyle, SinoSikat,
Radioactive Sago Project, and
Pupil, distill their collective
musical taste to its purest, then
let it rip like a deadly zombie virus
on an unsuspecting populace.
That is Brass Pas Pas Pas Pas,
a jazz-swing-blues project that
is both irreverent and respectful
in its raw approach to a classic
musical form.

Maintain a mindset
where you know all
your goals. If you plot
them on a timeline,
mas ma-i-inspire
ka, says Biolena,
who says your goals
should subscribe to
the SMART criteria
(specic, measurable,
attainable, realistic,
and time-bound).
Why are you saving
P150,000 in the rst
place? Write that goal
down somewhere you
can see every day to
motivate you to give
up your dark mocha
drink. Try one of these
goals, which are all

Conside r yo u r
income ye a r l y,
not ann ua l l y.
The technique is, look at your
cash ow on an annual level,
not a per-month basis, advises
Biolena. That way, you wont
be so cavalier with your 13th
month paysome companies
offer up to a 16th month bonus,
if youre luckyand can resist
the urge to splurge. If you only
look at your income and expense
monthly, then the tendency is
you think of those bonuses as
extra money. But that extra
months pay is what we can use
as a budget for your goals.
What did you do with last
Decembers bonuses? Hopefully
you put some amount in the
bank; and hopefully its still
there now, earning interest
slowly but surely.
Make a budget of
your daily expenses
for the month.
Make that your
guide, suggests
Ong. You dont
necessarily have
to live and die by
that planthink of
it more as a tool
that shines a light
on where youre
hemorraging
money. Theres no
reality check quite
like a pile of the
receipts that have
been burning a
hole in your wallet.
By end of the
month, compare
what you [have]
spent with what
you budgeted, and
analyze where you
made the most
variance, and try to
correct that in the
following month,
says Ong.

First, pay your credit card bills in full and on time. BPI, for example, charges 6
percent of your past due amount every due date. If you pay just the minimum
amount due every month, thats like throwing away P1,000 monthly (an amount
that increases as your unpaid balance increases).
Second, enough with the 5-6 loan sharks; you lose at least 20 percent to
interest rates there. If you absolutely have to take out a loan, consider the interest
rates, how long you have to pay, and if your cash ow will still be solid if you have to
add paying back your loan.

HOW DISGUSTING
GERM-WISESOME OF
YOUR FAVORITE HABITS
ACTUALLY ARE
98 FH M JANUARY 2017
While some people do cringe at the idea of having sex while a woman has her
period, its not gross. It even comes with benetsgirls are hornier mid-menses
and orgasms may help with her cramps.
However, demanding a blowjob right after isnt the same thing. Before your girl
gives head, heres a heads-up: A sausage dripping in ketchup does not make a
great appetizer.
Unlike the blood in your arteries, menstrual blood has been exposed to
microbes for a long time. Blood is rich in nutrients. After all, carrying nutrients is
part of its skillset, which is why microbes think blood is like a big buffet.
The result: A bloody broth full of germs. Do you really want your girl to lick that
off you?
S E R I O U S LY : Although it does look like blood, menstrual blood isnt made
up of just blood. Its a mixture of old tissue (not the bathroom kind), vaginal and
cervical secretions, and bacteria from the vaginal lining. Tell your girl that before
she goes south.

The Side B
Okay, cards on the table: Turning
your underwear inside out and
endearingly nicknaming it Side
B is not a great way to conserve
water.
Consider your underwear a
microbe incubator. The longer
you wear it and the damper it
gets, the more likely germs are
going to start building happy
colonies down there. Turning
it inside out isnt going to help
much becauseand you already
know thisyour underwear is

The next time you want to use
Side B of your undies, remember
this: Theres always a little bit

The
sputum
swallow
You cough. You taste the phlegm in your
mouth. You swallow. Doesnt quite taste
like candy but you seem to like it, yes?
You might want to spit the next time you
cough up something from your lungs. If
you have undiagnosed tuberculosis (every
Filipino is exposed to this infection), then
there may be tubercle bacillia fancy term
for tuberculosis germsin your phlegm.
These germs are tough. They can
escape the acid in your stomach, setting
up camp in your gut in what is called
gastrointestinal tuberculosis.
In this case, it denitely is better to spit
than to swallow.
S E R I O U S LY : Although not as
common as tuberculosis involving the
lungs, gastrointestinal TB is deadlier.
It is often diagnosed late as it mimics
other abdominal diseases, according to
a 2012 study by Dr. Saurabh Mukewar
and colleagues published in Clinical and
Translational Gastroenterology.

Heres one habit thats harmless: farting
shamelessly does you no harm, save for

Wondering why farts stink? Hydrogen
sulde is the culprit behind that familiar
whiff of rotten egg. Its a compound which
may even save lives one day, reported
Mark Wood and his colleagues in a 2014
study published in the Nitric Oxide journal.
Wood and his team worked on AP39,
a compound meant to bring hydrogen

using AP39 does not achieve the same
effect as getting high on your farts.

Swerte ako na nakapasok

ingatan at galingan para
hindi ko masayang yung
pagkakataon. Kelangan ko
pagbutihin kasi sinasabi ng
ibang tao, pag nagpa-sexy
ka raw, habang-buhay ka ng
ganun. Kumbaga dead end
siya. Kasi pinakita mo na
lahat. Kaya rin gusto kong
maging magaling na aktres,
kasi hindi habang-buhay
kaya ng katawan ko magpasexy. Gusto ko patunayan
na maraming talented dyan,
nagkataon lang na sexy rin.
Ha ha! Gusto ko i-break yung
misconception na yung sex
appeal ay nasa paghuhubad
lang. FHM
