I turned my plain white shirt into this. :)

Group Presentations//CHOI, Han NA

Learning new thing is quite exiciting. Making bracelets with yarn, crochet, applique, beadwork, and dying. To be honest, presentation was bored...... But I like to do activities.. I expect the Andeng's new activity!!^-^

make-up class

It's been a while since I checked this site because I can't log-in. I forgot the password =.=
Anyway, the make-up class helped me to realize that I can do something about my face...there's still hope... :D HAHAHA
The "THING" that only serves as my make-up is my eyeliner. HAHA oh gad, it's like the only thing I have that I can call "make-up".
For me, the fundamental of make-up is knowing how to highlight your features, not change them. That would be weird if it did change your face or alter it to make you look like angelina jolie.. haha funny...
Iliked the lesson because it was fun and it helped me a lot. I can now use what I learned to look better and to appreciate myself more.
Recently, I attended a debut and put some make-up just beacause I want to use colored eyes shadows... HAHA I realized that you have to really allot a certain time for doing it... It takes a looooot of your time :D but it was worth it.. :D All in all I enjoyed the lecture :D it was cool. I am now proud to say that I recently bought an eyeliner from the face shop and a mascara... which was the cause of a fight between me and my beloved one... HAHA, pero of course I won! (sabi niya kasi i don't need make-up cause i'm pretty na.. bleh. haha which was of course a BOLA)
..
In this world, NOBODY should be called Ugly.. because it defies the existence of make-up.. and besides, that's what make-up was made for.. SO USE IT! :D

ACTS ACLE. Josie.

Before the ACLE, I went to Sara's for a drink and met a photographer who wants to try fashion photography. So I told him about out ACLE, and he did come too. I also invited a fashion addict friend to come over. :) They told me our ACLE was really well-organized and managed. Yey.

We had so much fun. Our speakers were from Project Runway 2. Mr. Santi Obcena was funny, with his “inay” jokes and all. He taught us deconstruction. Ms. Tracy Dizon taught us where to find the best bargains around the Metro. Both speakers gave us tips, from using fabric pens to how to pick the best clothes in thrift shops.

In our deconstruction activity, our group created a skirt out of a pink, lacy fabric. Then we attached it to a brown tank top, so it became a dress... The best part was the bolero, which was from a pair of shorts. :) We played around with our creativity, and it was an enjoyable experience where I learned a lot.

XOXO, Josie

Ukay Experience. Josie.

I suck at picking clothes in Ukays! I don't have the patience for it! But having your classmates shop together with you is fun, and finally, due to me and my partner's efforts (Maggie was my partner :) ) we were finally able to buy some things with the designated budget.

Thrift shops are like treasure chests. You don't know, maybe you can find something very nice, if you can only stretch your patience and set your mind to what you wanna buy. And best of all, it's cheap!

During the presentation though, I appreciated the fact that we were corrected and instructed on how to wear what we bought better. :) Contrast and transition was the theme.
Though my nose was irritated with the smell and all, I was happy that I learned something. I'm planning to go back to that Ukay-ukay place sometime, and who knows what treasures I'll unearth in there.

XOXO, Josie

Fashion Consultation - Josie Lim

During the fashion consultation, I had extreme lots of fun. I really felt like a professional! Grabe.
At first I almost had no clients, that I was quite nervous. Then Han Na's friend came by! So we suggested clothes that work out for her.

Thank God my friends responded to my text messages! So then we finally had clients. I was consulting my highschool buddies and we were conversing in Ilonggo, so it was easier to communicate. They told me they were amazed by our fashion powers! A friend that Janina consulted told me she was happy that she's now able to pick her clothes better :)
By the late afternoon, I was hungry and thirsty already, but then a client had a lot of questions to ask. I was still happy to answer her questions, though. I think we talked for more than an hour? Haha.

I was really thankful that we received good feedback from the clients. For example, the Swimming PE class after that Monday, one classmate in PE who Andeng consulted told me how amazed she was with our course. Yey! Go CT!

This has been an exhilarating experience, and I'm very thankkkful xxx 10000!

Much love,

Josie

Make-up activity| RJ Santos

Ok, so last week, we had our little make-up activity where we had to do our own make up. Yes, all of us.. :-)) At first I was kinda scared to be brushed and all but what the hell.. :-)) Miss Kitty told me to just do contouring. So, I did. Well, I tried. :-)) I asked help from Lhenvil cause I know he knows how to do that. He actually did my make-up then I tried to put some more. I ended up looking like a mess! :-)) My cheeks and nose were so dark. Hahaha

Anyway, regardless of how hard it was to do make up(now I know why girls need atleast 3 hours to get fixed), I actualy had fun. :-)) I thought to myself that if I were to really pursue a career in fashion, I really need to know make-up. It is one of the biggest factors in fashion. I need to know atleast the basic principles of it so that I can present my works 'completely'. Make-up is an essential tool for achieving something.
