Putting My Make-Up On

I was a late bloomer. Make-up/ beauty was alien territory. It's ironic because beauty styling is one of my dream jobs, as in hair and make-up, yet I don't wear make-up myself. I once inquired abut beauty school and man, were they expensive!

But early this year I thought to pursue the dream, or at least familiarize myself with it.

So I did the next best thing. I youtubed tutorials and this was by far the best of them. I saw a few videos and realized what the foundation was for. I always thought it was just like powder, which I don't like ergo never put on my face. So anyway, here's the link to Lisa Eldridge's website: http://www.lisaeldridge.com/

Watch her videos if you're totally clueless of what you're doing because she explains the brushes she uses and all other details.

SIDENOTE: So after watching her videos, off I went to buy foundation, and almost got the wrong color because I didn't know my own skintone. Yes, you read it right, I just bought myself a foundation, which means I have never worn any to all the socials I've gone to. Good thing older sister was there and directed me to the right brand and the salesperson was kind enough to explain the different types. I eventually got the Maybelline mineral kind ( see, I don't even know the details of the product).

Bead Bangle

You may be wondering why I would give away this pattern for free when I can sell it. Well, I'm really not so good with giving (and taking) written instructions. So to be fair, I only sell patterns that I can give accurate instructions on. I rely mostly on pictures, I find them easier to follow. So hopefully the images I included helps too if my written instructions become too confusing. I had to use a dark background so the threads would show. 1. Start with the basic netting technique. String in 147 pieces of seed beads. Pass the thread through the 6th bead from the last. 2. String 5 beads then pass through the sixth bead from the previous row, repeat to the end. 3. Leave 6 beads at the tail. String 8 beads then pass thread through fourth bead from previous row. Repeat until you have a total of 9 rows. 4. String 8 beads then pass the thread through the 6th ...

Start Off With These Chinese & Taiwanese Dramas

Even before Kdramas, I was already so into Hong Kong movies that I remember writing all the movies I’ve seen on a notebook, which I’ve since lost. Jackie Chan & Jet Li movies were faves, but Star Movies Chinese introduced me to so many others. After watching Gen-X Cops, I fell in love with the gorgeous actors and I’d see anything with Stephen Fung, Nicolas Tse, and Daniel Wu that was on, even ones without subtitles! Oh and also Takeshi Kaneshiro! But at some point, I couldn’t access Star Movies Chinese anymore. I don’t remember exactly if they became unavailable in our country or you had to pay extra for that channel. Whatever it was, it ended my love affair with Hong Kong Movies. Which is okay in a way, since I got too busy with life anyway. And then Meteor Garden happened. They showed it on a local channel and was Filipino dubbed. After that blew up, local channels started showing dubbed Taiwanese dramas. But it wasn’t easy to follow the series since it was on at aroun...

The Calendar

Recently there have been talks about the December 2012 Doomsday, much like the doomsday prediction in 1999. This is according to the Mayan Calendar which ends December 21, 2012. There is also a rumor(?) of a planetary alignment on this day which will bring 3 days of darkness. People's imagination, thanks to Hollywood films, run wild with images from movies of disasters of massive proportions! Tidal waves, earthquakes, planetary collisions. But can we really blame them? With all the calamities we've been having lately, from climate change to the global financial crisis. With what we know of how the moon and sun affects the earth it is possible for all these to happen. But why dwell on the morbid? Like all predictions, they are just that, a forecast of a future event that has no absolute certainty. After all, the Mayan prophesy said it would be a transformation not an eradication of the human populace. Whether or not the transformation or the Spiritual enligh...
