Barbie Pictorial

Barbie inspired make-up

Barbie: Joanna Lanojan

Shoot Location: Plaza Independencia

MUA/Photographer/Stylist: yours truly

Dress: from my sister's wardrobe

Accessories: Model and stylist's

Long blond hair, colorful sweet eyes, flawless skin, who wouldn't recognize Barbie with these descriptions?One word to describe Barbie- beautiful!. No wonder my friend Joanna fell in love with that doll and wants to copy her looks.
Yesterday, Joanna and I set a schedule for a Barbie themed pictorial. We actually thought about it since last year but it was only this year that we were able to come up with a perfect timing. I got my new camera last month and bought new cosmetics last week so everything was all set.
Truth is I never really liked Barbie. I mean, I never played a Barbie doll for a long time since I was a child and I never let her lived in my childhood memories.char But my friend Joanna is different she LOVE Barbie a lot, the reason why she's been ranting me about making her look like her favorite childhood toy,Barbie!

Posted above are some photographs during our Barbie pictorial. I love how everything turns out great. From her make-up to her outfit,everything's so Barbie.haha Barbie's supposed to have a straight, long, blonde hair but we don't have any blonde wig available :( good thing, Joanna managed to borrow her sister's hair extensions so Barbie:The Island Princess is our peg.lol I love how I achieved her Barbie look despite of the seemingly limited time we have. Her make-up alone took me an hour to finish phew! I even thought we couldn't finish doing the pictorial but somehow we did and I'm very grateful about it.
Feast your eyes and let me know what you think on your comments below. This post is for all Barbie lovers out there. Hope you like it!

love lots,

Happy Birth Date

photo from CMYK

Last December I celebrated my 20th birthday. I woke up with a wonderful dream and I'm very glad that my day went as wonderful as it was. The day before my birthday, my baby sis Rose and I already planned a "birthday date" to celebrate le birthday's.

The afternoon before our date, both of us went to school for a Christmas party with our co-majors. The party was simple but very memorable. It was a blast of memories worthy to be treasured but I'll save that for another post :) heheThe party ended rather late as we enjoyed it a lot. It was around 7pm when we arrived at our dating place- CMYK Dessert house.

Brief info. about CMYK:

CMYK is known to stand for Cyan Magenta Yellow and Black; the four primary colors for image printing. As one of the owner is a passionate photographer, she saw it /as only/ fitting to have this (CMYK) as the theme of the place and chose these very colors to dawn over the dessert house. You will even find these color schemes on the scrumptuos desserts available to you at CMYK dessert house.

In CYMK dessert house, the CMYK stands for Chocolates Make You Kiss.

The dessert house is owned by one of my favorite Cebuana photographer, Lea of Lea Goes On. Feel free to check her lovely site :) Here are some pictures taken during my birthday date with my baby sis. Sorry for the photo quality, these pictures were taken using my old camera. It's really a handful to use it. Nevertheless, I am glad to capture this precious moment :)

Say "Happy Birthday!"

My cute baby sis Rose :)

Here are some reasons why CMYK is extra special:

Vincent Ryle

Younger me in red shorts...what's with the sad face? haha

Being the youngest child for 15 years, I always used to wonder before what it felt like having a younger sibling. When the news that my mom was pregnant came into my ears, I didn't really know how to react on it. *oh issues... but when Mama and Papa came home bringing with them a tiny little boy with a round face and violet cheeks, I felt ecstatic. I thought I'd cry and cringe because I know changes would come together with the new member of our family. Not to mention my older brother's constant 'bleee...you're not a baby anymore!!!!' To my surprise, I never got jealous having a younger sibling! I even helped my mother in taking good care of our baby boy like changing his diapers, singing him a lullaby to sleep,preparing his milk and even washing his clothes.

We named that adorable creature above, Vincent Ryle. He was named after St.Vincent. We actually call him a lot of names from vryle, yan, ryle, bayle, groo to baboy. haha silly right? but we like it! lol

I don't know if you feel like me but I love teasing my baby brother until cries and ask for Mama's help lol. I can't believe how time flies so fast. Vincent turned 5 last Friday. Another reminder that I'm older but I'm also taking it as another chance to become a better sister.ayeee ahha

Baby Yan here are some good things that I would always love to remind you as you grow old. These are just some of the reasons why you should be happy. I hope you will be able to read this post when you're older.

You are cute...stay cute forever!
