pending

It's been a while since a posted something on my blog site, so I thought of posting pictures of me while I'm at home (Lil Miss Vanity strikes again). I've been sick for a week now and I really need some rest for this wound on my right leg to heal. Yes, there's a wound. And I'm so afraid. I hate scars. I won't be able to wear a bikini in the near future.ha ha!booo! :(

I've missed a couple of shoots already and I still have a lot of pending concepts on my list. I really really can't wait to be okay and shoot again. My mind and my hands are itching to shoot. Right now I have a planned come back shoot along with my stylist Marbs Alvarez and Makeup Artist Mia Acolentava. I can't wait to do another collab with them. yay! :)

'til then! :)

Chasing Perfection

Model: Deksie
MUA: Momo Bendanillo

Deksie's very first photoshoot. After almost a year of convincing her, finally, she gave in. I'm really excited to do this concept because I believe that Deksie's gonna nail this one and she did! Her beauty is suited for this weird concept and makeup. Not bad for a first timer. :)

Big BIG thanks to Momo for the amazing makeup work and for assisting me. BIG THANKS to DEKSOI for being so game. LOVE ET!!!!! :)

MELANCHOLIA

version 2

Model: Cindy
MUA: Mia Fabio Acolentava

Dark, melancholic, bummer, lugubrious troubled, despair, qualm, and anger with a mix of affection seeking mood...the words that for me, can best describe this concept. It’s the effect of listening to too much music. Music that can stir up your emotion and give you flashbacks on how you messed up and how fucked up life can be. Yeah shit happens to everybody. And this album ain't emo, it's not brokenhearted like the way you think it is.

Many thanks to Belle Babista, Anthony Paraguya, and ofcourse, Mi Buddy Edu Alawi for joining me in this shoot. Thanks also to Sir Jing Gavino, Sir Eight Espino, Mia Acolentava and Marbs Alvarez for dropping by and helping us. And to my model Cindy, thank you for being so game. You didn’t fail me. You nailed this one. T’was sooo nice to have you guys around. THANK YOU!

Model/MUA: Krystel Marie

It's good to be back! :) It's been a while. Yes, I'm back but, baby steps muna. Medyo naging silent sa shoots for a while.. :)

A fun shoot/collab with my favorite, Krystel. It turned out to be a semi-date, did a lot of catching up and had serious talks. T'was fun playing again with Mr. Sun. :) Thank you GOD for letting the sun show up even for a short time and for keeping us safe. We took the risk to shoot, with a little fear inside Me and Krystel. But t'was all worth it. :)

Gotta get my groove back! Gotta do my thang! :)
