Mistula on Manila Bulletin’s Style Weekend
In Nicole Limos’ Interview with Mistula for Sense & Style magazine, the writer asked, “What dreams are you in the process of fulfilling?”
Manx answered, “My dream is to be on a cover of a magazine.”
And there she was.

Of course Manx would’ve wanted to appear on the cover without the rest of Mistula, “the Philippines’ first virtual band”, featured on Manila Bulletin’s Style Weekend last October 2, a very gloomy Friday. The crew was busy preparing for the coming typhoon, and missed the issue entirely. We only found out when Nicole texted Joey the day after it came out. It was welcome news, like a dove with an olive branch alighting on Noah’s ark.

Tomorrow, we’ll post Nicole’s 33-Question Interview complete with Mike’s glorious photos taken for Sense&Style, which were reprinted on Style Weekend.

Our warmest thanks go out to the Sense&Style staff: Editor-In-Chief AA Patawaran, Nicole Limos, Krizette Laureta Chu and Hector Reyes for believing in Mistula. Of course, our very own crew, Mike Fallarme, Gabie Osorio, Joey and Rey – for making rockstars out of us. HUMANS RULE!

wiiiih! i got a copy of that!!! kewl… ;P
October 12th, 2009 - 13:31
this is the reason why i become one of your newest fans… funny thing is that, i thought bella lugosi was a “SHE” because of the outfit on the cover… upon reading the article and doing some researches….. dang! Lugosi is a “HE”! he’s more gorgeous than a woman!
manx is sooooo HOT!
lobo is FIERCE!
and you Uno, as what your name implies, you’re the no. 1 !!! o_O\m/
October 13th, 2009 - 19:44
Why, thank you! And welcome to the strange world of Mistula. I hope you stay with us forever.
October 14th, 2009 - 11:14
Gee, thanks Uno…
BTW, the word “forever” seems creepy to me… in some ways… Ehehe… well, i wish forever applies to us, humans. I would love to stay with Mistula forever, who wouldn’t anyway? but I’m afraid time would be our greatest challenge, well, for humans at least. We grow old, die, get rotten… (how morbid my description was!)
okay, on the positive note, let’s put it this way… I’d be with Mistula, and remain a fan/supporter/whatever-it’s-called, for the rest of my existence.
I wonder how it’s like to be immortal as a resin? never growing old…
I have so many questions to ask! but first i’d like to browse on your blog first… ooh so many things to read!! O_O
October 14th, 2009 - 17:06
Humans have souls, and souls are forever. Resin is not immortal, especially if your owner isn’t careful.
October 15th, 2009 - 11:51
nice point there.
btw, i browsed on the web trying to find where i could avail myself of a resin friend like you… and to my disappointment, your kind is waaaay beyond what i can afford… T__T
i wish there is adopt-a-resin-friend drive, so people who can not afford to buy such (like me) would be able to have a resin friend of their own… ahaha!

Or you can simply go to the ManikaManila doll meets and make friends with the BJD attendees.
October 12th, 2009 - 19:28
Woot! \o/
Congrats, Mistula! ♥
…cheers to Manx’s dream come true. :3
October 12th, 2009 - 19:32

October 12th, 2009 - 19:34
Congrats Mistula!
We’re subscribed to STAR…so we didn’t get a copy of this. Heard about it from Anj though. XD This is awesome!
By the way, Uno, I miss you. O_O <3
October 13th, 2009 - 20:13
Aw, Nix. I’m just in the neighborhood, but I guess Bell insists you travel farther to see Cen instead.
October 12th, 2009 - 19:35
Congratulations, Mistula!
My family’s subscribed to STAR so we didn’t get a chance to see this…but Anj told us about it! This is awesome.
Btw, Uno, I miss you. O_O <3
October 13th, 2009 - 20:49
Oops. Sorry for our moderation Hitler!
October 12th, 2009 - 23:22
Whoohoo! Hooray for Manx’s wish coming true, among other things X3
October 19th, 2009 - 17:01

October 12th, 2009 - 23:24

October 19th, 2009 - 17:02

Aw, I miss you, too. But are you certain you miss me and not Lugosi? I wish I can go see you at the Doll Affair. I’m sure your little project with Mr. M would turn out awesome!

Congrats Mistula!
I’ll be hunting that Manila Bulletin issue.
October 19th, 2009 - 17:06
Thanks, Gemma!
We got ours through Rey, who requested for 3 copies of the issue from their office’s newspaper archives. You can try doing the same.
October 13th, 2009 - 12:20
You guys are awesome (as usual)! <3 Wish I could get a copy of the mag.
And the last photo proves that Uno does look good in anything – even newspaper cutouts. (That’s what it seems like… forgive me if it isn’t!)
October 19th, 2009 - 17:58
Thanks, Steffi!
Gabie cut my top out of an old missal (the Book of the Holy Mass), and received a lot of thunder for her efforts.
October 13th, 2009 - 19:37
ohh i saw the little advertisment (hinimatay ako sa tuwa) about it and cut it!! but too bad i didn’t get the copy of the mag.
October 19th, 2009 - 18:48
Oh, too bad you didn’t get the mag when you already had the newspaper! It should’ve been included in the copy; I wonder why you missed it.
We’re very flattered you kept the cut-out. Thank you!
October 14th, 2009 - 13:36
Congrats Manx and Mistula. =3
You guys look AWESOME!
October 19th, 2009 - 18:49

October 20th, 2009 - 19:01
