Sofielicious Sofie Garrucho

SHE was FHM Philippines’ Girl Next Door winner in 2005, and placed 45th in FHM Philippines’ 100 Sexiest in 2006. But did you know that FHM babe and model Sofie Garrucho also happens to be a girl gamer?

After we found out that Sofie loves different computer games such as Warcraft, Dungeon Siege and The Sims, well, this hot babe from Iloilo City just became a lot hotter.

Here’s a Slide Show of Sofie’s photos taken by b5media.com technology channel editor and INQUIRER.net interactive media consultant Jayvee Fernandez during the recording of hackenslash: the podcast, Episode 3: “Groove is in the Heart,” where Sofie and GrooveNet president Greg Kittelson guested. That explains the plastic sword, sort of, heh

Of course, as a member of Filipino-made social networking site GrooveNet, Sofie also loves playing in the 3D world There Philippines, when she’s not dancing the night away in the many GrooveNet parties. In fact, Greg tells us that Sofie has been so active in GrooveNet that she’s become the unofficial face or image model of the social networking site.

Here’s a clip that I took for INQUIRER.net Videos of Sofie talking about her love for video games.

If you’ve read her FHM interview (or met her in real life, for that matter), you’ll know that Sofie doesn’t wear bras. But did you know that she crochets her own bikinis, or that she paints, including oil and charcoal paintings?

Here’s a short clip of Sofie answering INQUIRER.net reporter Erwin Oliva’s question, “Who is the real Sofie?” when we went to Starbucks after the podcast recording session.

I don’t have a video of our one-on-one drinking session in Murphy’s later that night (Jayvee joined us after about an hour of me and Sofie guzzling booze, but he didn’t drink much that night and we all had to leave shortly afterwards), but here’s our pic from the podcast recording session.

And another a few nights later when we had one GranMa Slammer after another at Taberna Ocho, where I went straight from my bus ride from Clark, Pampanga after covering Media Nation. By the way, one order of GranMa Slammer, which you absolutely must try, consists of two shotglasses of Gran Matador brandy and one shotglass of Coke. The picture’s fuzzy because of the blue lighting of Taberna Ocho (which makes it stand out — just look for the blue glow along Maginhawa St. in Sikatuna Village, Quezon City, heh).

Watch out for a new feature on the FHM Philippines site this summer starring Sofie. She can’t divulge what it is, unfortunately (I’m not telling, heh) but if Sofie’s part of it, it has to be good.
