Hi everyone!
      Finally, It's Halloween!~The time of year where you can enjoy being ugly just by how you look (JOKE!jk2x) Ok don't take that joke seriously hehee. I mean this is the time of the year where you can enjoy wearing your halloween costumes, make-up's and halloween parties (if you have to attend any).There are too many costumes and make-up's to choose from and it's always awesome to share it with your friends. I've been seeing a lot of video tutorials about it in youtube. Choosing your halloween look is all up to you.

      This is also the time of the year where you can spend awesome time to chill with your friends by various activities activities after you chose your costume and halloween inspired make-up.These includes trick-or-treating (if you practice such), showing some art by carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns (if you have lots of money to spend in buying pumpkins "kalabasa")lol, lighting bonfires,visiting haunted attractions ( which is really cool), playing pranks (which I usually do even if it's not halloween), telling scary stories, and watching horror films (which I really love). Or you can simply enjoy some trips to breath some air.

      In my case, I didn't enjoy my Halloween by costume parties or going out on a trip or something. I spend my day selling flowers for people who are going to the cemetery for the All Souls Day. Anyway, most Filipinos go to the cemetery to visit their love ones even in Oct.31st or in Nov.1 just before the All Souls Day. This means I have two days to sell flowers and save money.hehe. Not a bad thing to spend a halloween. I feel happy to help the family business though.
  
      My family and I haven't visit my grandpa's grave (maybe tomm.?). My mom and I are waiting for my father to arrive from the witch island :D before we can visit my grandpa and of course to do our annual prayer and food offering which is a part of our family tradition. The usual thing starts from offering prayers, long prayers which includes prayers in Latin. A feast is to be offered in the altar as the family pray and should not be eaten nor touch not until the praying ends. This is because of the old belief that the food is for the souls of our dead love ones. So after the family prayed we give in a short time to "let the souls eat". I know that may sound silly to you or for others but that's part of the old Filipino tradition that our family still follows.
That's what makes us who we are.#char
    
I shall end this blog post with this joke from tumblr:

• me: hello 911 there's like a thousand dead people here
• police: where are you???????????///
• me: at the cemetery

        Hey guys, it's actually our semestral break so got enough time to rest but I'm definitely bored to death. I spend most of my time reading, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, watching movies,making some illustrations (which I will show you soon) and doing nothing :) hehe
        Anyways, yesterday was Sunday, a day-off for my sister and fortunately she's bored like me too. Even bored after we've watched the film ' The Mistress' . Sorry if you're a fan of John Lloyd and Bea but I must say I really don't like the film. Never like most FIlipino made film though :]
       Ok enough of that talk about boredom, you might as well get bored reading my post too hahaha.
What I'll show you here are some of the photos I took last night after I did a make-over session with my elder sister. This make-over session I just said made us (my sister and I) wash off the boredom we have. So, here is it:

Here's what her make-up looked like

Here' a closer look of the eye make-up I did for her. I chose to apply neutral colors since I haven't tried doing her make-up and I know neutral colors are always good for anybody. Also, if you wanna be safe in using eyeshadow colors. heehhhe :D

Here's her lips. I chose a light and soft color for her. I know any lip color will match with the neutral colors of her eye but she wanted to have it that way (soft). Well that will depend on the occasion on where will you wear a make-up anyway.On her case, I want to give her a natural and sweet looking look.

Sweeter Smile :)

Her "safe" satisfied look hehehe make me feel happy and smile too

FInished Look- hahahaha we actually argued about the photo caption LOL but we end up agreeing about it and laughing haha

I tied two small braids from the sides of her head. What I really want is to give her a fishtail braid but that's isn't possible because she have a very,very,very thick hair. I'm not even exaggerating :)

just so you know guys, my sister and I looked very different from each other :)

she had longer nose and high cheekbones

It's her request to edit her photo like this one, a music player frame.LOL

OKay, enough of her vanity photos , here's what I use to do her make-up: 

I used Skin White face cream as a make-up base before I applied everything else.

After applying the make-up base, I applied a liquid foundation in 'soft beige' from Ever Belina Cosmetics and face powders to set the foundation off.

The one which I labelled 'number 1' is the one I used to color the middle part of her lids

here's my cute liquid eyeliner!!!!!!!!!!I sooooooooo love it!~

What it looked like. Exactly why I love it.It has pointed tip which made it easier for me to apply especially on the closest line of the eye and in making the perfect wing eyeliner tip

For her make-up, I used two mascara. The one in the left side is from Avon, the one in right is the high definition mascara from Ever Belina Cosmetics. Both are rich black in color.

After doing her eye, it's time to apply blush-on. I gave her a soft blush, she didn't want to look comical. Pardon my fail ombre nails hhaha I love this brush anyway, it's because of its animal print :)

After setting everything in place from the eye to her cheeks, I applied her lipcolor. I actually used two lipsticks for her. The first one above which is Fushia Pink from Avon and Fresh Melon next to it also from Avon. After I applied the lipsticks, I gave her lips a slight touch of the peach colored lip gloss and viola! her make-up is done. We end up our make-over session by picture taking. All photos are taken by her cellphone camera so pardon me if it's a bit blurry :) P.S I'm not trying to make a make-up tutorial here that's why I don't provide a step-by-step photos of how I did her make-up. The reason why I'm the one doing her make-up is that my sister doesn't really know how to. She even asked me to download a make-up tutorial video for her to learn. hehe. If you wanna know/interested more in make-up tutorials as well as doing awesome nail arts, you can check my friend Lahlab's blog here: steph-g.blogspot.com .She always have something awesome to offer.    That's it, thanks for reading! Tin  :)

						I know I haven't posted something on my blog for like aeons of years.whatever.I'm just too busy participating in what they so called "school".lol. Been so busy making projects and stuffs for final requirements. I don't know what's with some of our teachers though. They tend to give us lists of "what to pass for finals" the week before our finals or on finals week.FCKINGSHIT* Had hard time doing all the things to be done with so little time. A cup of coffee and a bottle of PauDeArco is not enough to wash out all the numbness in my body and to keep me awake. I had very little time to sleep. I've been up 'til 3-4am for two weeks just to get everything done. One of my classmate even complained that she's becoming a hermit who locks herself in her room facing her computer all day not-giving-a-fck-what-happens-outside.Well, that's what she said,that's what I feel.I'm glad to have my mom and dad for their financial supports though (not to mention the realfckup arguments I had with them)*sorry for my not-so-good language :) Anyway, I know I shouldn't be complaining or shall I say I don't have the rights to do so since it is my choice to become a good student which is just another step for me to have a better future.gemalangLOL.*theperksofbeingnerd* I know deep inside me that the beauty is always in struggle (though I'm not so sure if my struggle is enough). Accomplishing something with effort will always make one feel better than having it easy all the way.

Here's a black dress owned by my sister. It's actually just plain in black. I'm the one who added the pearls to make it look sophisticated since she's wearing the dress in a party with her fcking boyfriend :D hehehe

Here's a closer look of the dress. It's actually so cheap and so easy to made. You just need to have the right materials. We bought the dress in a night thriftshop by he way. You wouldn't believe me if I tell you how much it costs.

All accessories are owned by Joanna (jong2x). The white shoes are from April.I might as well show you soon what that dress is made of. Another DIY?!

Another shot I took :) I know she'll rant me about editing these photos soon for her lookbook account haha

Here's an illustration I did inspired by the little black dress above:

by: Anonymous

Where is my human?
Is she crying?
Is he running from misery?

Where is my human?
Is he tired?
Is she bored of life?

Where is my human?
Is she eating in Jollibee?
Is he drinking water from 'MC'?

Where is my human?
Is my human
a 'he' or a 'she'?

Ah! Nevermind
I hope he or she finds me
whether on her heart or on his mind.

Still looking, 

happy
