“Letter to the Editor”
Kris Aquino is the cover of this month’s Preview and so on a whim I purchased a copy of Cosmopolitan magazine instead which unfortunately turned out to be a mistake. (the last issue of Cosmo I bought was 2-3 or 4 years ago until I got tired of the same articles which they try to redo unsuccessfully every month,) Cosmo through the years has not changed. I daresay it has gone worse. Why? (1) Shaina Magdangal, this month’s cover girl, just turned 18. Shouldn’t she be gracing some Teens magazine instead? In my opinion, She has yet much to accomplish to be labeled a Cosmo girl, personal and professional life. There are so many beautiful and exemplary women in the world and in our country, why does our magazine/s seem to say we have ran out of them? (2) Is Cosmo even a fashion magazine? Who is their fashion editor because frankly the clothes in it were very ordinary, uninspiring, uncreative, boring and too ghastly to be even published on a glossy paper full page! Needless to say, I would have been happier if I had spent my P125 on a grande signature iced chocolate from Starbucks instead.

Whoohoo! Fighting words if I’ve ever heard them!
In fairness, P125 for a coffee would go straight to the thighs. On the other hand, you can turn the pages of Cosmo into pambalot for kakanin.

Starbucks coffee is not fair trade. Thousands of the poor are dying because of the corporation’s unfair trade deals.
