Ladies Magazine

Published by Toe at 3:37 pm under Cambodia, Work

Eat your heart out Imelda Marcos, Kris Aquino (who are the socialites in the Philippines? I don’t even know) for I, too am now in the pages of a glossy magazine, albeit a Cambodian glossy magazine. So this is the Cambodian version of a ladies’ glossy magazine such as Vogue and Cosmopolitan. The name of the magazine? Well… Ladies Magazine of course. :) That’s right… without the apostrophe (’). This is the cover. Isn’t this Cambodian actress on the cover of Ladies Magazine pretty?

So this girl (moi) who used to hang out in the sari-sari store and who used to walk in the streets of Kamuning in shorts and Tretorns (see this post) went to Cambodia and found herself rubbing elbows with grand ladies and mesdames and attending hi-teas, coffee mornings, charities, and others (though as I mentioned here, this is the part of the job I’m not really into). Inevitably, one of those events (coffee morning in the Indonesian Madame’s residence) got featured in the social section of the Ladies Magazine. I won’t tell you which one I am there. All I can say is that you’ll know who the Filipino ladies are: they’re the ones who are not in traditional costumes and are wearing western outfits.

Hahaha… all the girls in our office are here and because we’re all so jologs back home, we really got a kick out of this. :)

    Rubbing elbows with the who’s who in Cambodia, that’s neat!!! I enjoy reading your blog. Hehe, I remember those Tretorns, I wanted those badly back in the days but did not get one coz most stores don’t have my size :)

  15. # Toeon 31 May 2007 at 2:22 pm

    Gina, uh… I don’t know. ;)

    Mommy, you should figure out who I am… I’m your daughter. :)

    Biyatch, bakit iba nanaman pangalan mo? :)

  16. # Toeon 31 May 2007 at 2:29 pm

    Dangkin, I’m not going to say. ;)

    Thanks Curacha…. hehe… ngayon lang ‘yan. :)

    Thanks momoftwo… loved those Tretorns… I used to wear them everyday until they self-destructed. :)

  17. # Toeon 31 May 2007 at 2:34 pm

    Snglguy, if that happens, I hope it’s because of my blog and not because of hi-tea with grand mesdames. :)

    Wil, no not Men’s Magazine… it’s Mens Magazine without the apostrophe s. :) Hehe… the Indonesian madame is with me… Pinoy kc yung photographer e… so I got quite a few pictures. :)

    ZJ, these are really exciting times for you. Yes, Fatima was still there and the rest of the staff. :)

  18. # Toeon 31 May 2007 at 2:36 pm

    Sidney, I’m much prettier in person… haha! :)

    Lazarus, tumpak! I’m the one on the cover. ;)

    Gypsy, hahaha… I can’t believe it… hindi bagay sa’kin. :)

  19. # Toeon 31 May 2007 at 2:38 pm

    Leah, ewan ko ba… what did I get myself into? :)

    Melai, sa susunod… magkasama tayo sa Metro Magazine. :)

    Wow this is good, now you are a celebrity in a foreign country. Even Martin Nievera is trying hard so much for that he..he..

    It is one of my dream you know, to be in a glossy magazine. But the dream remains a dream as of now…

  21. # nicehearton 01 Jun 2007 at 11:42 am

    Wow! You made it in the glossy magazine. Social nga ang dating. :)

    Natatawa ako sa family mo (Biyatch ?). Ibinubuko talaga kung sino ka sa picture.

    Nakakahiya, but I have no idea what Tretorns are.

  22. # hazeon 02 Jun 2007 at 12:46 am

    Hmmm hirap basahin nyan ah! I am sure you’re very fluent in Cambodian Language na ;) ! Paturo naman dyan :) ….how do you say kumusta ? Salamat at Mahal kita ????

  23. # Toeon 02 Jun 2007 at 9:36 am

    Major Tom, hahaha… you’re so funny. Oo nga, talo ko si Martin Nievera. :) And it’s your dream to be in a glossy magazine? Naku, you come here… it wouldn’t be too difficult. Even I did it. :)

    Niceheart, Tretorns is a brand of tennis shoes which used to be the fashion among teen-agers in the 1980s. They’re very comfortable and I do wish that they come back in vogue again. :) Biyatch is not family. She’s a former friend. :) Haha… peace Biyatch! :)

    Haze, Cambodian is very difficult… more than 50 vowels and the pronunciation is impossible. I’m not very good at all, especially I work with Filipinos with whom I speak Tagalog with and foreigners with whom I speak English with. All the locals who work in our office are also fluent in English. So I don’t have enough practice. I only know enough to bargain when I shop in the market. :) Soksabay is hello and awkoon is thank you. I don’t know mahal kita though. :)

    Wow! Magazine Exposure on a very social event. Baka pag uwi mo dito asa local glossies ka na rin.

  25. # aueeon 03 Jun 2007 at 1:11 am

    When I first glanced at your post akala ko sasabihin mo ikaw yung nasa cover
    :-) Laglag mata ko talagang talo sila Kris.

  26. # Toeon 03 Jun 2007 at 10:08 pm

    Ferdz, I don’t think so. Jologs pa rin ako sa Pinas. :)

    Auee, aaah… oo… ako ‘yon. ;)

  27. # vernson 05 Jun 2007 at 11:32 am

  28. # Toeon 06 Jun 2007 at 10:28 am

    Verns, hindi… ako yung naka-zebra stripes… hehe… wala ding naka-zebra stripes. :)

  29. # SexyMomon 06 Jun 2007 at 11:16 am

  30. # Toeon 07 Jun 2007 at 9:06 am

    SexyMom, the girl in the cover is quite pretty. :) I just had a few photos because the photographer was a Filipino. :)
