Makeup School: It's Now or Never

23 January 2010

I finally had my first hands-on for my make up class last Saturday, January 23, 2010. My first model (and the lucky girl to first use my makeup brushes) was none other than my ever gorgeous friend Jhoanna...

I was so touched because she promised me she will be there no matter what. She came from a shooting for the movie of Anne Curtis and Sam Milby in Quezon Ave. ** Had to insert this info, since I adore Ms. Anne Curtis... One of the prettiest Filipina celebrities... So my friend only had a two hour sleep I believe. She was literally closing her eyes while I was doing her makeup. Yours truly was also sleepy  that time, since I woke up at 5am that day. Sleepy heads, huh...

As you see, she has a beautiful face, but those eyebrows of her became a huge challenge for me that day.

It was my first time to do someone else's eyebrows.

It took me a while before I got it right.
I finally got to breathe when my teacher said "Very Good".
But believe me, it hasn't been that easy...

Thanks Jho for the trust... :)

Until now, I cannot believe that I am finally enrolled in a Fashion School to study makeup. It was only like yesterday when I was just watching the videos of the makeup gurus on Youtube to learn more about makeup.

 I'll be blogging more about my journey as a MUA Wannabe....

So please visit my page from time to time..

Much Love,

Farewell Bes!

It has been exactly nine days. since bestfriend Ruthie flew to UK to study and to work at the same time. She gave me a call yesterday, but we were not able to talk since there was a poor signal. I was  really sad when she left.  Just the thought that I would not see her for a year or two made me cry. We have been inseparable, so you can't blame me. You know, Ruthie and I are not just bestfriends. We are also gym-spa, movie buddies, travel companions, nth degree cousins and partners in crime. We were always together anywhere... We would drive around the city till we get lost.  We could talk about anything and everything, and we could spend a day day dreaming (I know it is not productive, but we love it).

There's no one in this world who knows me better than Ruthie. She knows everything about me. Her opinion matters a lot. She is the sister that I never had... And I know I will miss her a lot. But will be waiting for her till she comes back home fulfilled and accomplished...

Updates

Just a quick update:

11 January 2010 

Anj and I had a relaxing one hour massage at Touchpoint Spa in Tagaytay. It was her first time there and I was so glad she enjoyed the treatment a lot. Anj and I have known each other for so long, but would you believe that it was our first time to go to a spa together.. Funny? Needless to say, we had the best iced tea while getting the best sauna bath ever. Felt so relaxed afterwards.. We promised each other to be back and avail of the 2 hour massage next time...

16 January 2010 (Saturday)
-My first day at a Fashion School. (Will blog about it in the near future)

-Met up with Anj, Carll, Mark (Carll's bestfriend) and with my beloved high school friend Joyce at Glorieta.

Bumped into Jewel. She is a friend of Anj and I..

Had our halo-halo at Razon's....

Later that night, Joyce and I waited for Mhel, another high school friend of ours. Three of us went to Bluewave, as requested by Mhel... It was a fun night...

I arrived home around 2AM..  Good thing, my friend from NZ Roland accompanied me. He noticed I was sleepy that time.. Thanks friend...

Still here,

WARP Photoshoot

8 January 2010

Felt so privileged to be invited by my friend Jason for another photoshoot. I asked if I could bring my gorgeous bestfriend Angela...So after picking up my my angel, we headed our way to Alabang. So lucky I am very familiar with the place, otherwise it will be another struggle for a girl with no sense of direction to find the place...

We met Kuya Patrick's beautiful wife, Ate Joanne (who is a Christian also) and their adorable son Cholo. Other WARP photographers who joined us were Janno, AJ, Jing (she was with her bf Bong) and of course Ella. We had our lunch together... Thank you for the hospitality Kuya Patrick and Ate Joanne...

Our group shot... (L-R: Jace, Ella, Jing, Bong, Janno, Anj, Yours truly, AJ, Ate Joanne, Kuya Patrick)

Some of the winning shots...

PostSecret

POSTSECRET -- Every week, a gallery of postcard-sized images by anonymous senders are posted on http://postsecret.blogspot.com/.
These postcards consist of their deepest secrets and interesting confessions.

Someone could not help but laugh when I shared this photo to her on YM while we were chatting... That someone is actually a friend and a former colleague. Believe it or not we resigned on the same day.. Some people have been curious about the real reason of our resignation. While others made different conclusions.. Funny that until now, we refused to give them any answer...

Here's another interesting photo..


Sweet night everyone!

P.S. I MISS YOU GRACE! :)

Matmat's Baptismal

My first time to see Matmat (Alexander Matthew) since I was always away from home... He is my cousin Boboy's son. Today is his baptismal , and we went to their house to celebrate this special day.

When he grows up, he will be calling me "Tita Nori".

It would surely be new to my ears.. Since I got

used hearing "Ate Nori" from my little cousins. You know from Ate to Tita... I am not complaining.. Think my mom and the rest of my aunts should be the one to complain... Haha.. From Tita to Lola...

His father calls me "Ate Neng", and the rest of my older cousins call me Neneng..

Now I miss my little cousins. It was only like yesterday when we would play around.. But now, most of them are in college... I hope to visit them all very very soon....

My mother would always tell me and my siblings to love one another, and never fight as much as possible. She said that we should cherish the moment of us being together while still single.. Because once we get married or get a family of our own, it would be different. We will not be living in the same house or we might go to another place/country to live. I love my little brothers so much. I enjoy every single second I spend with them. But they are growing so fast....:) And I also love my cousins.... Long ago, someone told me that your cousins could have also been your brother/sister. I don't know how true.. :)

Below are some of the photos taken at the house of Boboy & Grace:

Mommy, Brenda, Yours truly carrying Macmac, and cousins Ate Venus & AilynBrenda, Ate Venus, Yours truly, Auntie Estring (saying something?), Kuya Richard (Ate Alice's hubby, little child (I do not know the name), Mommy (saying something), Ailyn

same people plus Boboy carrying Jupiter

Mommy, Ate Alice (my brothers' favorite among our cousins.. so many cousins actually), Ate Venus, Mac, Grace's mom, Auntie Estring, Grace, Jomar (Ailyn's bf)

I am the one holding the balloon. I doubt if you are interested to know the names of the rest?:P Haha... Being to lazy to mention their names...:)

That's Boboy and Grace with Mac Mac (their son) and Jupiter (Ate Alice's son) ..

Grateful,
Daintypinay
