Kimmy Our Little Shih-Poo (Shitzu Poodle Mix)

Last Sunday, my SIL brought our adorable bunso to a grooming salon in Tiendesitas to get a "Summer Haircut". And this is how she looks like when she came back home. I almost did not recognize her.

 Kimmy, the Shih-Poo

Her poodle genes reflected on her soft and smooth hair. The new haircut actually has done some pretty good things to her. For one, she is not shy anymore. Actually, when this photo was taken, she was the one who approached me which seldom never happens. Pre- "summer haircut", it was also really hard to take a photo of her but look at her now ; )

You have all read about my cousin's lunch treat, if not read it here. Immediately right after, we went to Dome Cafe, this time the treat is on me! 

hot choco  PhP90

My dad's stomach acidity is acting up so he decided against ordering for a cup of coffee. He ordered hot chocolate instead. He loved the cocoa taste. It reminded him of his childhood days wherein cocoa tablet is dropped in a boiling water.  

FreshLook ColorBlends GemStone Green by Ciba Vision + DIY Photo Shoot

I met with my cousin the other day and I was wearing all green- contact lenses, eye make up and even my tee! How cool is that?! ; p

FreshLook ColorBlends Gemstone Green

I love my newly opened FreshLook ColorBlends. It is so eye- catching. I love that the color of my eyes can change from dark brown to green in an instant.

I'm Switching: Charm Travel Pro v3

 Newsflash! Read about the limited edition Charm Trave Pro Sonia Makeup Brush Set here. You can also read about my favorite Charm Essentials brush here.

Everyone who reads my blog knows that more often than not I apply most of the make up on my face with my fingertips. Yes, even the eye shadows. The reason is I am usually in a hurry. It gets the job done anyway so why bother, right? Wrong! Read on to find out why...

The brushes I own (there were only a few!) were either given to me as a gift or I have won in a giveaway. I bought only two basic brushes (eye shadow and powder brush) from The Body Shop.

Charm Travel Pro v3 14 pc. Brush Set PhP 2, 200 with free shipping nationwide

When Sophie of Beautynomics saw my twitpic about my almost dead powder brush, she said that she will replace my old brush. A few months had past and I have thrown out my brush already when she told me that the brush has arrived ; )

Little did I know that I will be receiving a whole set- A Charm Travel Pro Makeup Brush Set is what she calls it. I was a little overwhelmed by the number of brushes included- 14 in all!

A set includes from (left to right):

• Concealer Brush
• Foundation Brush
• Angled Blush Brush
• Powder Brush
• Stippling Brush
• Blending Brush
• Pencil Point Brush
• Wet/Dry Eyeshadow Brush
• Angled Eyeshadow Brush
• Flat Liner Brush
• Bent Eyeliner Brush
• Eyebrow Shading Brush
• Brow Spoolie
• Lip Brush

MakeUp for Asian Eyes

I am not a make up guru nor a make up artist but I know how to put make up on my own. I learned putting on make up from my numerous salon trip. I paid quite a few times for a professional make up artist to prettify my face during graduation, senior prom, debut to becoming a part of the wedding entourage but I see to it that I learn a couple of tips here and there. It's like a free make up tutorial haha

open eye make up

Having a monolid eyes sucks if you don't know how to enhance your God given feature. I learned how to love my almond eyes! You, too, can do your make up on your own. All it takes is practice, practice and more practice!

Singapore Flyer took my breath away!

Day 2

I have my reliable Canon Ixus 860IS throughout my Singapore trip. I am so glad I brought it with me. I took the photo below while my capsule was on the topmost part of the Singapore Flyer. The view was exhilarating!

I am afraid of heights. When AC and I were in Taipei a couple of years ago, I couldn't even ride Miramar Ferris Wheel which is 70 meters tall. Taller than London Eye (135 meters), Singapore Flyer stands 165 meters and can accommodate 786 people at a time. A capsule as big as a bus has a capacity of 28 pax. A cycle is approximately 30 minutes.

DIY photo shoot!

What do you do if you are over 30 and a model wanna be? Create a DIY photo shoot! 

It pays that I have a DH who is a GREAT photographer- photoshop expert- layout artist all rolled into one haha *eyes rolling* I know he is reading my blog although I cannot simply make him confess haha

trying to be alluringly H-O-T in the middle of our living room... NOT! haha

First and foremost, I needed a reason for a photo shoot... a new lay out for my header and a blogger card. This is my third header since I started this blog haha Such a vain blogger! 

Remember When... MOD Jr. modelling days

This is a repost:

Yes, I was once a model haha I am always fond of cameras. I am not camera shy to say the least. Too bad I didn't grow tall enough and my parents were too scared to let me in on opportunities that could earn me mucho dinero when I was younger lol The fear of bad people not only in the industry but in general outweighs the money I could put in for the family ; p

MOD vol. xx no.857 February 5, 1988 page 33 by Ma. Corazon S. Lim

During reunions, my closest friends would often tease me about the 8x10 photo collage I made to look like huge backdrop on my bedroom wall, of course, it's all me in the picture. How vain is that?  haha You wouldn't think I'd put on some artist's face on my wall, would you? Nah! I love my face too much haha

Training Video Shoot... an experience!

I was invited by my friend, KC, for a training video shoot. Basically, it's an improvement to the storyboard that I am used to because animation will be added during post production. Correct me if I am wrong, story boards are used as a guide for the client to visualized the campaign that the agency is trying to deliver.

Photoshop gone awry: Emma Watson's missing leg?

Is this a case of bad photoshop? or her right leg just stand behind her brother's left thigh? You decide!

Photos by Jay Aldrich Cu

I am planning to use one of these photos as my new header. I still have to ask DH to do the lay out for me. Hopefully, he will have the time. right now, he is sick. He got my cough.

Photoshop gone awry: Filippa Hamilton a fired Ralph Lauren Model

Filippa Hamilton was fired by Ralph Lauren alledgedly because she was not thin enough. OMG! They photoshop her and looked like a cartoon character in a Tokyo advertisement (picture on the left). This is sick!

Filippa Hamilton

She is 5'10" and 120 pounds. A size 4 at that! And yet she is not up to Ralph Lauren's standard of stick thin. Crazy!
