To say that 2016 is my busiest year so far would be an understatement. Aside from chopping off my long locks and welcoming the short hairstyle that I'm currently sporting, there's a quite few more changes that happened to me this year! Check out the highlights of what I've been up to for the whole year before we welcome a bright and sunny 2017!
JANUARY
*Started my year with a simple birthday celebration with few close friends.
*Booked a styling job for a skin clinic's campaign.
MARCH
*Saw myself on TV! Guested on CNN's "Real Talk" and discussed about the latest summer trends of 2016!
*Filmed 8 episodes of a supposed lifestyle magazine show for a network but the project was disapproved by some producers until eventually, it got shelved.
MAY
*Though the lifestyle tv show I'm supposed to host didn't push through, I was signed to be the said production's media representative and was tasked to cover Jason Derulo's Manila concert.
JUNE
*Media Correspondent for MTV Asia for MTV Music Summit 2016 and got to see and interview One Republic, Bebe Rhexa etc.
*Shot my very first commercial plug for a clothing brand.
*Covered Selena Gomez' Revival Tour in Manila.
AUGUST
*Covered Asiapop Comicon 2016 and got to meet Stranger Thing's Millie Bobby Brown, Nicholas Hoult, Claire Holt etc.
*Featured on the pages of Chalk Magazine and also did several feature shoots for different publications that are yet to be released soon (or idk if some were already released).
*Featured as Style Genie's "Stylist of the Month".
SEPTEMBER
*Featured as one of the "Humans of Lazada".
*Finally got to meet some of my fans and readers via the meet and greet event organized by Style Genie. Was so touched by the fact that some people are willing to go the distance and travel just to meet me in person. Nakaka-artista, mga bes!
NOVEMBER
*Launched my very own clothing line in collaboration with Jean and Paul clothing. It has always been my dream to do something like this, to expand my brand and never in my wildest dreams I've imagined it would actually come true!
2016 was such a helluva ride and I'm beyond happy and thankful to EVERYONE who's been with me since day one! Stay with me and get ready for another crazy year coming, aryt?
