I just found an old issue of Preview magazine while looking for pictures to cut out for my little cousin's homework. And old issue it really was. I actually did a double take when I saw its publication date--October 1997. Yeah, it's almost 10 years old, twice older than my little cousin. Cool, eh?
I read the articles out of curiosity and was pleasantly surprised that the topics they were talking about weren't out of date at all. I mean, I read that same magazine ten years ago and I found it quite informative if a bit inappropriate [for my age, that is, since I was just roughly eleven then], and when I read it again tonight, it's like just the first time I read it [although not anymore inappropriate for my age, harhar]. Get my drift? For the record, the issue was more or less about women empowerment and all that kit and caboodle, something you still consistently see and read in the current issues of every women's magazine being published. The success stories of different women… it's like, only the faces change but not the general idea of how they came about their achievements. Reassuring or creepy? I still can't decide.
Ooh, and I just saw a Kodak print ad with Ryan Agoncillo in it. Gosh, he looks so young and scrawny. And his Adam's apple is sticking way out. Haha. A far cry from the current better half of Juday.
Zsazsa Padilla's on the cover. At least a more fleshed out version of her today. I personally think her face looks better with healthy, plump cheeks rather than the hollow, sucked in look she's sporting today though I've got to admit that her body's better off without the excess baggage she was carrying in the yesteryears. Just goes to show, you really can't have everything. And yeah, I've got another gripe: on the cover it says Zsazsa Padilla: Natural Woman, yet she's wearing a ton of makeup and a colorful racing-style top which is so not her. I know you're not supposed to take the cover headliner and picture literally but somehow this particular cover just doesn't quite jibe, won't you agree?
