Beauty & Butter + Family Day

I was invited by Beauty & Butter to drop by in their new location in Megamall, and I was quite surprised that the place is so cool and alot of people really coming over.  I love the murals/wall design, graphics kung graphics lang :)  They offers alot of manicure/pedicure services from nail art, 3D to DIY designs :) Coming soon, watch out my 3D nail art editorial.  Promise kabog nanaman to! 
Mom loves this pink-peach tone, malakas lang maka teenage dream.  I had my 1st belly wax as well in preparation for my 1st time boy cut trunks wear! Lols


Shiela did my 1st waxing, and she usually does the nail arts and manicure for our fashion editorials! I love how fast and efficient she can do nails in 10min-challenge! :) Thanks alot Beauty & Butter and Ms. Kwey.
We just love sweets! Kuya ko, Dane and Mom! 


ASSORTMENTS:  This old family bonding that I just love to post/share here!


Yogurt is a healthy option but adding more toppings and sugar based tops is not a wise choice, choose fruits instead :) 


Naingit gusto din mag solo shoot! Cge ikaw na ang doll-eyed chubby cheeks gurl! Hahaha
Ate Vilma, my kuya's wifey.  I just love Ate Vi, so humble, and very caring!  I remember when I used to be a fresh grad she always motivate me to push and gow lang ng gow sa applications.
Ayan nanaman ako hindi ko alam gagawin sa ngiti! Lols.

Project Sawali: Photoshoot

Diageo Philippine Supply has a great way of delivering a BANG for the last time! Project Sawali is a codename for the project composed of selected employees to organize, plan and execute different memoirs thru avp, images, and a program that best captures the Diageo Spirit as we depart on our next endeavors.

We are assigned to different areas of expertise and as always, wala ako sa yearbook shoot! choosss! Paul G. is also part of the team:
 L-R: Bogs, Dexter, Archie, Ces, Arleen, Eugene, Fey, Bong, Phil, Alec (Jear & Paul - pasaway).  

First Team to hauled in the shoot is the Procurement and Supply Team.  Their theme is cowboy inspired.  Check it out! 
I don't want to super imposed the fashion editorial scheme since these people are not models, and come on, they really do great here given this is a group shot!
Trivia: This is actually a distillery area, where alcohol rectification/purification is done! But don't worry, there's no alcohol in here so flash won't aid the explosion :) 
These oak barrels are actually the aging barrels we used for the brandy.  Speaking of brandy, we really aged our brandy, unlike other company its just purely flavouring! 



Next Team: Finance Team: Their inspiration is glamour, sophistication with a James Bond-ish peg.  This team is so determined that they hired me chosss, a hair/make up artists Rochelle Lacuna, and  Divad Medina.
Pang teleserye lang diba! Taray ng mga to! Bumili pa nga mga outfit ang mga boys! Lovveeet! Galing lang ng production set dito, malakas maka effect ang yellow pallet! 



Akalain mo rooftop to ng planta! 

Next: Quality Assurance & Risk Team: My team, of course, I'm pressured to execute if not, less than beyond expectation rating, Yes! I'm in this team! 

Our story is PA-CUTE! Lols! No actually is California Girls! But since we can't afford the props, we improvised to color blocking! Check it out!

 Aminin nyo, kahit small portion lang ako, cute ang pagkaedit sa akin! :)  L-R: Eug, Cez, Chris, Me, Dani, Pat
 Serious talaga? 


Anong ganap?

I Love This set! :)

Last, but the not the least: Production Team, they are composed of mini teams, compressed into one - bottling, spirit supply and engineering/maintenance team.

I wasn't able to help them the styling here since I'm on leave, but I think the very raw of each story makes it more interesting.  They have gamblers, firemans, and tambay and horror flick???? ano to? basta! 

 Wow: Diba no smoking and drinking inside the plant! Paging, OHS Officer! Hahaha 

Wow Mike, lake ng biceps mo dito ah.... pero si Manny tawang tawa! Lols! 


Ay alam ko to! Parang mga porn stars lang to! Ay I mean Corby Fisher lang ang peg! Hahahaha 
 Eto yun horror flick! Best actress dito si Melai! Hahahaha
Cge kayo na ang Best in Candid! Nasusunog kaya sa likod! 

Ay alam na! Yun mabigad hindi makatalon ng mataas! Peace lang, joke lang po!

I'll definitely miss MY DIAGEO FAMILY! Until next time....
Walang kinikilingan, serbisyong totoo lang mga KAPUSO!

Mom's Lunchdate + Buddy She

My mom has been a cook for over 9 years now in a private residence in Bel Air Makati, and when she told me that she needed rest given of her age and condition, I told her YES! Considering that in a family of ours its little quite challenging being a bread winner.  I thanked God that recent challenges - like buy out of our company Diageo, and now pursuing full swing on fashion styling is a big RISK!

My mom decided to go back to Bacolod, where I grew up and to take care my nephew and niece, Dane's siblings.  Little they know I prep a simple send off lunch date with them in Rack's Grill in SM Southmall.  Sharing some photos now:
 Fiesta naman! I just love eating, obviously its in my Instagram lage food.  I am usually not afraid of eating since Im such a gym addict and a fat burner fan! Lols

Dane teaching mom how to use an Ipad! Oha! In si Mama!


One of my fave in Racks - Broccoli and Cheese (you can ask as well to separate the cheese if you want)
Their mudpie, of course!   After the lunch, I asked them what they need for a moment! Mom bumped in for a shoes since she will be attending a wedding in Bacolod.  Thus, I treat them for a shoes then! :)
 Dane confused between my 2 options.
 Orange suede wedge, and an off-white studded heel.
 Mom's obvious pick! I wanted her on high heels but she ALWAYS defies me! lols 
 I forced her to choose this since orange is so over rated this season, plus off white is so versatile! Boom goodbye savings! hahaha
 Of course ako naman just bought SM Teens white printed shirt.  You'll be surprise how cool SM Teens shirt were.
Ayan ha may full body ka na, kahit naka ilang frames ka na, hirap papayatin ang mataba! Hahahaha

On the other hand, I got to meet my bestbud Sheryll Umagtang.  We usually meet once a month for some updates, downloads, catchups, and some emotional lifts, and spiritual guide!  It's always a therapy session when we dine everything from current situations, plans and our disappointments, and hopes! 

She has been my buddy for more than 7 years now and counting.



 And NOTE: Emotional eater kami! We just love to eat and eat! 
Veggies and salmon ata! :) 


 Syempre may  pictorial din!

 After a mouthful dinner, we strolled around Shang Ortigas and ended a coffee  in Sb!
Love this whoppie pie :) Clever lang :)

Point Blank

One of the biggest trend this season is WHITE! To make this a little different, editorial, and very unique through treatment and subtle make up exaggeration in the eyes.  

I love Katchie Mejias because she can always transform my vision into reality!  I called for Ryan Sulit, our photographer here to do the shoot, and has his own interpretation of the said trend.

Check out our release in Manila Bulletin Fashion Section last April 28, 2012.  Ronaldo Arnaldo  PFW SS2012 collection here. 
We wanted it to make very easy, calming, serene, little sweet-sexy feel.  Sam sometimes looks like Solenn  here :) 
Thanks Golddot, Bosquejo and Diva! Also People are People, and Oxygen.
Love this ease and effortless poses!


Love this lace dress from Philip Rodriguez Fashion Watch SS2012
