It's out now. Maxim Philippines February 2009 featuring Nina Jose on the cover is now up for grabs. So what can we say about this cover photo of Maxim February 2009? Uhmm, for one, the posing looks odd to me. Is it a strategic pose not to emphasize her figure? Coz she looks a little plump compared to her FHM March 2008 photos.
Another thing we noticed is that her sides don't look too natural at all. I mean, the cropping is very obvious. It's like a forced curves on the side. Also, the make up artist seemed to forgot to hide those eye bags. But nevertheless, Nina Jose still looks charming as ever.

Early Life
She was born on August 26, 1988. Born with a silver spoon in her mouth, Nina Jose used to spend money like there's no tomorrow, until her grandfather died that is. Nina's mom was adopted but she was Nina's granddad's favorite daughter, so she also became his favorite granddaughter. Her lolo's real family resented it and deprived Nina's mother of her share of the inheritance. "It's really unfair because my mom really worked hard for them."
She witnessed how poorly her dad treated her mom while she was growing up. "She's a battered wife. Para kaming nasa action movie, where in e-escape kami then hahabulin niya kami. Tatakbo nanaman kami then magtatago." Her parents are now separated. Her dad is living with another woman and she has a half sister on her mother's side.
"My relationship with my family is kinda err…complicated." Nina admits to the dysfunctionality of her family life. "I would always fight with my mom. Sometimes I even scream at her. But she always forgives me. I hate my dad because he always counts what he gives us. He's manunumbat, he's really annoying and feeling niya ang taas taas niya." Nina relates sadly. "I really want to help my mom out, one of the reasons I joined Pinoy Big Brother."
Nina has also worked before as a model for clothes and became anorexic. But after noticing her looks becoming miserable instead of glamorous, she started eating again. She sees herself now as a bit fat though and says she needs to lose weight. She has had her heart broken thrice but believes her true love is just out there.
There's a lot more of Nina that even she can't count everything on her two hands. She's a self confessed bratinella. But is best friends with God and Mama Mary. She can cook. She can clean. Though she rarely puts those skills to use. She doesn't know things like isaw and betamax. She only knows that fishballs tastes 'masarap'.
