Because I like drawing too...
… I’ve been drawing more lately than…putting on make up. Haha. I didn’t finish drawing this ‘til the minute I was supposed to submit it. :D This is the Bois de Boulogne. It is named after the sanctuary Notre-Dame de Bouloge Le Petit under the reign of Philippe IV. It stretches over 863 hectares! It was partly converted to a royal hunting ground before being...

Make Up Look No. 2: Purple Geisha specially for...
This is Jessica Martinez, a real life ramp model. Hihi! I made her up for my friend’s shoot.   After I put on her eye make up. The outcome: HOW TO ACHIEVE THIS LOOK: 1. Do the basics first. To achieve a flawless made up face, you must first have a bare canvas, hence you must do the following before anything else: a. Prime your face with a foundation primer. You can use your...

Ateneo's Landscape Architecture: The New Rizal...
This was a shot by my batchmate Ace Ramos for the MEco Solstice event during my last year in Ateneo. My friend Kay Lactao conceptualized it, came up with the theme, and was basically in charge of the promotional materials. We had the shoot in different places in Ateneo which were the most memorable for us. I gladly did it because it meant I would have my picture taken in all those memorable...

New York City Skyline (View from the balcony of...
Would I ever get tired of waking up to this breathtaking view? I think not. The sun is about to set on the city that never sleeps. I’m not sure if this was taken by my 11-year-old sister, Jodee or my dad. :) The night is always young when you’re in New York City. Still not sure who took this photo. Imagine waking up to that. <3 One of the most beautiful sites I’ve...

… My First Blog Sorry if it’s a bit cluttered, I can’t seem to find my way around yet since it’s the first time I’ve created a blog. Why did I make this blog? I guess it’s because I can’t find any other concrete outlet for my love and fascination with make up. I never had any formal training but I was always intrigued by it — probably because I see...

Mecca
I am in love with New York City. I will live here someday. Some of the pictures I took when I was there two months ago… Typical shot of the City? Maybe to some.. But all die hard fashionistas would and SHOULD know that 7th Avenue is also called Fashion Avenue. Right here is THE FASHION CAPITAL of the WORLD. “New York has been the undisputed center of American fashion since the mid...

Graduation
Bittersweet. I will miss  my friends, the food, the legendary teachers, the humanities subjects which no other university can teach, the campus, everything! Anywaaayyy… One of the fun things about graduation is that we get to dress up and make ourselves up (or have it done by someone else)! Took about 200 pictures this day alone! It was fun, tiring, exciting, and sad all at the same time....

Eye'm Lovin' It!
Today I went out with some friends from college who I haven’t seen in months since we graduated. Mo, Roxxi, and I absolutely adore make up and have been wanting to take make up workshops since forever but we never found time because of all the school work we needed to do. Now, Mo works for MEGA Publishing and Roxxi for Stores Specialists Inc. handling DKNY while I am (again) a student at...
