T-Joue Fashion Shoot

I apologise for not updating. I just started my new job and my body is getting used to the new hours.

I did makeup for T-Joue's Sping/ Summer collection photoshoot yesterday. 

Model: Irena M 

Photographers: Mickey and Alvin 

Hair: Wella 

Makeup: Me! 

Location: KC, boss of T-Joue's, house in Tropicana 

 

Irena M has been the model for T-Joue for the past few years. Everyone loves her, as she's so friendly and easy to work with! 

Not once did she complain, and she followed instructions to the T. 

It was tiring. And stressful at times. 

But I enjoyed every minute of it. 

Compared to bridal makeup which is less enjoyable to me, but more lucrative of course. Sigh. 

To more fashion shoots. 

amatuerish autumn avant garde

These are the curtains hanging in my living room. Low cost design and cloth. 

I drew out a simple pattern to depict the curtains. Leaf in two toned green, outlined with brown. Eyes in orange, gold and olive green. The drawn lines are all blurred with gold shadow, as are the eyebrows.

I don't know how to photoshop, so you can see all the imperfections. All photos are taken with a Canon compact cam, and only this photo is tweaked using Windows Live Photo Gallery to enhance the greenish tint so you can see the tones on the leaf better. 

Everything looks beautiful in black & white.

And sepia.

My cousin Sharon as model. =)

Everything was done in under half an hour, as I just suddenly jumped up and said "hey sharon, wanna be my makeup model?" So yes, I know it looks amateurish and simple.

I'll try to do better avant garde works next time. Its about time I stopped lazing around and did what my blog URL indicates. =p

Cebu: Touristy Locations

Other than the beaches, Cebu City, like any other city, has touristy locations for anyone to visit and see. 

City centre. Near the Saintoninio church. 

Inside the church grounds. Its a beautiful garden!

Majellan's Cross. A monument to recognise Majellan for bringing in Christianity to the Phillipines.

This is the only air conditioned church in Cebu. Thus, lotsa wedding are held here. 

If not, this Fort is also a popular wedding location. Due to the gorgeous garden of course.

The only Taoist temple in Cebu.

And Lapur Lapur's shrine. He was a hero for killing Majellan. Just cos he's a foreigner. Haha the irony.

Ormena's Gallery. His face is on the 50 pesos note. =D 

Some souvenir shops. Cheap cheap shopping!

Casa Gorordo. An ancetral house turned museum. My friend's grandma used to live there during World War II. Cool huh? 

Another ancestral home nearby Casa Gorordo.

The oldest fire station in Cebu.

The largest sculpture placed right smack in the middle of the road. Its supposed to represent the history of the Cebu across the multiple figurines. 

And lastly, Imperial Palace Hotel. A 7 star hotel opened by Koreans. It has a mini water park in it, and all the staff they hire are good looking! No shit. 

A proper tour would only require two full days really. So a weekend getaway to Cebu is worth seeing, non? =)

Cebu: By the beach

I'm back from Cebu!! There are too many things to update, so I'll do a few blog posts on it. With as many pics as possible. Just so you won't get bored as I do when I read about travel journals. =p 

So my original plan was to just bum by the beach and chill right? 

EHHH!!! *buzzer sound* 

Turns out Cebu City is 4 hours away from the touristy beaches. So I ended up hanging around the city more than anything else. With only one day by the beach. 

I told my friend, I don't mind going to any beach to chill. But she said most of their beaches were brown beaches. And dominated by drunkards/ drug users. =(

Instead, we had to come to this white beach where we have to pay 100 pesos per person to enter. -_- 

Talk about exploitation. 

I wore my bikini under my sundress, thinking I could just head there to swim and tan. 

But it turns out the locals were the only ones that dominated this beach. So everyone wore shirts/ shorts over their swimmers. Sigh. 

There were oh so many people! All local.

Shy ol' me didn't dare to bare it all in front of the conversative crowd. And I didn't bring extra clothes! So on the shores I remained.

I loved it though. It was a beautiful tranquil day. 
I just stood at the shores and watched the sea pull all my worries away.

Come home with me, sea.

New Year Trip to Cebu

Its the new year!!!!!!!!! 

Am excited for a lot of things. But due to an underestimation of the number of days of leave I have left and an in between time before I start my new job... 

I'm leaving to Cebu, Phillipines tonight!!! 

Trivia: Did you know that Cebu is pronounced like our Sarawakian town Sibu? Not Ceh-boo like I thought. ;)

I packed only sunny dresses and bikinis for this trip. And my only touristy plans are... NOTHING. Bwahaha. 

Chilling by the beach is the only agenda I have so far. I'll let you know how that goess...

Have a great NY beginning ppl! Don't be too jealous of my impromptu hols. XD

daily fashion: yellow sundress

I am. 

Addicted to. 

Fashion blogging. 

Yellow sundress love. 

 An alternative to the usual white. 

Cotton. Simple. Casual wear. Pair it up with a light brown/ grey scarf for dressier wear. 

From Warehouse. Bought after writing my piece on Wearing Yellow.
