Kwento Mo: The Styling Doll

Last March, magbabalik na sana ang Jimpy TV featuring bloggers around the Philippines. But due to time constraint + confidential reasons ay hindi ito natuloy. That time also, may isang blogger-friend na akong na-interview pero syempre, hindi na nai-ere ang interview namin. :)

Kaya naman sa unang handog ng "Kwento Mo" that will feature different stories na hindi ko lang kwento kundi kwento ng mga ordinaryo at bonggang mga nilalang sa Pilipinas, mababasa natin ang story ng isang fashion blogger na may bonggang blog. Nagguest na rin siya sa Jimpy TV Island of Dreams Episode and now she is back!

Her blog, and siya rin for that matter, is known for being "The Styling Doll" because her blog is a fashion blog. At bongga siya 'coz when I visited her blog, nandito ang napakaganda niyang credentials as a model at isama pa ang pagiging photographer. So let's now read and learn sa Styling Doll na si Miss Michell Anne "Macee" Rosimo. :)

I will publish it the way Macee said things and the way na nagtanong ako so bear with me kung Jimpy TV pa ang nakalagay. The original interview date was last March 20, 2013. :)

Jimpy: Okay. So ang feature na ito ay about bloggers. At isa ka sa mga up and coming bloggers na maari at siguradong magbloom ang career. Kaya naman diretso na tayo. Okay, ano munang masasabi mo sa pagbabalik mo sa Jimpy TV! Hahaha joke. Tungkol saan ang blog mo Macee?
Macee: It's a fashion and lifestyle blog. I blog about what I wear and what I'm currently loving.. from books, to Taylor Swift's fashion to my Ukulele.. :) oh and I'm pleased to be back sa Jimpy TV.

J: So kelan ka nagstart magblog at paano nagsimula ito?
M: I think it was two years ago na nagkaroon ako ng first outfit post. Of course na-inpsire ako ng iba pang fash[ion] bloggers so I decided to give it a try, kaya lang after that first post matagal bago nasundan! Hahaha! I don't remember why, siguro busy, or I'm not feeling it yet and I'm not that inspired to write yet, but after a while my blogging spirits are up again and I improved the blog with the help of a blogger friend, Patricia Pedro and so now, I'm trying my best to post whenever I can :))

J: Ay pareho tayo. Nako. Anyway, The Styling Doll ang pangalan ng blog mo. Obvious na pang fash[ion] blog pero bakit ito ang napili mong title? Saan ito galing?

M: The Styling Doll is one name na talagang nag-linger sa isip ko. lahat na in-edit ko but I never changed the blog name ever since :)) I think I really wanted to include the word "Style" into my blog kasi diba I want to be a stylist also, and doll kasi sa payat ko sabi ng iba kong friends minsan mukha akong mannequin sa picture! haha! Syempre para sa akin okay na ganun yung feedback nila no, pero I couldn't make the name in to "The Styling Mannequin" something sounds wrong, so "The Styling Doll" was born  haha! Do you think it's okay for a blog name?

J: Oo naman. Actually it's cute at may dating. Hello naman sa Jimpy TV at Jimpy behind the TV ko diba! HAHA. So next, saan ka kumukuha ng iyong inspirasyon sa mga posts mo?
M: Sa mga naeencounter ko, I grab my camera and click away! Haha. I blog what I want to blog kasi if I blog na para lang sa sumikat or what kahit na di ko passion, I won't feel any fulfillment. So a tip for newbie bloggers like me -  JUST BLOG.  Don't think of the status, the freebies, blog for yourself and people will appreciate that. And the sponsors, recognition and all else will come... well speaking of, I'm accepting sponsors na! hahahaha joke =))

J: Hahaha ay pareho tayo ng principle. Kaya mga finefeature ko lang sa Jimpy TV yung mga type ko talaga e! Haha pansin mo naman mga feature ko. Lol.  And excited ka sa last Question ha. Haha. Anyway, tuwing kelan ka naguupdate ng blog?
M: Whenever I have time, di pa ganun ka dami posts ko kasi diba lately ko lang na settle yung gusto kong layout, etc. But this summer I'm planning on posting as much as I can.. And follow up sa sinabi mo, I admire you talaga kasi ang hirap kaya mag blog diba! It really takes time to edit, read and edit again and kailangan talaga dedicated ka lalo pag mga long posts yung ginagawa mo. Keep it up Jimpy. :)

J: Ay salamat naman jan Macee! Hahaha!  Nakakataba ng puso, lalo na ngayong sa totoo lang, nawawalan ako ng gana. Kaya baka mag-ala KC Concepcion itong blog ko, bumalik sa The Buzz para mag-goodbye. [Jimpy TV time] Hahaha. Lol. Anyway , what would be the most memorable post na nilagay mo and bakit?
M: Sa tingin ko yung mga pinaka pinga effortan ko talaga.. "Taylor Swift: Pretty Classic". It's about the gowns of Taylor that I loved seeing her wear :)) Nag research talaga ako per gown kung sino nag design and saan niyang event ginamit! Haha talk about patience. And yung Debut ni Reielle [Deslate, our classmate] din kasi the experience is memorable talaga, having to spend a BFF's birthday with her and our other gal pals. :) 

J: Ano ba yan, nainggit ako, wala ako nung debut ni Yeye! haha! Bongga ah, nagresearch ka talaga.  Anyway, syempre busy-busyhan ang peg ng pagiging Mass Communication student kaya paano mo nabibigyan ng time ang pagboblog?
M: Pag nakakahanap ako ng inspiration na hindi ko talaga maresist, I can't help but blog, even in between school requirements. And I vow to really find time to blog since mass comm students nga tayo, this will be of big help AND gusto ko maging editor ng Candy Magazine someday so ayun, Blogging will be a good practice for my writing.

J: Ay yan naman ang agree ako! Anyway, ano ang mga dapat pang abangan sa The Styling Doll?
M: More outfit posts and better photos! Thank God [and my dad] na may DSLR na ko. mas nakakainspire mag blog and mag take ng photos!  I hope my readers will be able to appreciate my blog more in the coming posts, I promise I'll improve and hopefully inspire more youngsters out there to blog! 

J: So last, kahit nasagot mo na ito! Haha! Ano ang piece or pieces of advice ang mabibigay mo sa mga nag-uumpisa pa lang? 
M: 1. Choose a simple blog lay out. yung malinis and readable. 
     2. Invest in a good camera.
    3. Find inspiration and never let it pass without noticing it.
   4. BLOG FOR YOURSELF and the rewards will be great.
