ACLE| Rj Santos

Our ACLE was pure fun! :-D
The speakers were funny and great. I learned so much from them. They taught us how to reconstruct old clothes. It was very educational.
My favorite part was the activity where we had to reconstruct 4/5 clothes. Our group had a polo, shirt, long sleeved shirt and a green skirt. We decided to go for the modern boho look. We turned the floral polo into a skirt and a bolers, the sleeves of the shirt to a belt and maintained the shirt but did some alterations. I'm so proud with our work. ;-D

Applying make-up is a fun and creative activity. It’s fun to try new colors and application techniques. I put on make-up to look girly and to match it with my outfit. When I go partying with friends, it’s pretty much the norm. Sometimes I even put on make-up just out of boredom! Hahaha.

Make-up for me, serves the function of an accessory. Take an elegant dress without make-up for example, it is rather odd just as wearing sneakers with a dress. I like how make-up offers more consistent complexion and coloration; and how it can moderate perceived imperfections in one’s face. I am not really a fanatic about make-up(I wear it occasionally) and I don't really pile it on, however I do know that I look better, feel better(more prepared and put-together) about myself when I'm wearing my make-up. I am grateful for Ms. Kitty’s lesson! Not only did I learn how to apply make-up properly, I also learned which cosmetic tools and make-up suits my skin tone best. I shall buy the green watercolor concealer thing to offset my blemishes! It's so cool. ;)

ACLE | Tin Iglesias

The ACLE was so fun and edifying. I learned about reconstruction! Certainly, it is a great way to recycle instead of just throwing things out. I realized that almost anything can be turned into something else if you experiment enough. I think some people are put off with the notion of reconstructed clothing because they do not know where to start and they think it involves an immense amount of creativity and/or skill. But guest speakers Santi Obcena and Tracy Dizon from Project Runway Philippines Season 2 pointed out that with minimal crafting skills it is easy to turn old clothes you no longer wear into great new pieces. They both gave us guidelines to help us prevent the downhill spiral of disappointment while still allowing our creative juices to do it our own way.

Also, the speakers discussed some styling tips on how to look chic without spending a fortune. One of the easiest ways to update your look without having to spend a lot is through accessories. It can instantaneously convert outfits from average to extraordinary and from uninteresting to phenomenal fashion hits. They even shared to us some places where we can buy the most excellent materials for design and reasonably priced clothing pieces.

The activity thereafter was fun likewise! We did our own deconstruction and styling. It did not only allow me to apply what we learned, but it also was a way for me to bond and get to know my other course mates. It was awe-inspiring seeing everyone get innovative, altering their pieces to create a whole outfit. It was nice knowing one could construct a stylish outfit from too threadbare to wear anymore pieces. Now, I think I am more equipped and ready for more DIY projects! :)

The Make-Up Class//CHOI, Han Na

Well… What to say about the make-up learning for today… I am not familiar with make-up since the Phil. weather is so hot; I do not want to apply any make-up. I only apply sun block cream when I go out.

It was so amazing to look at Ms. Kitty’s make-up lecture. Her make-up skills were quite the same with Korean because I usually see the sales ladies who make-up very heavy and very red on their cheek and that is what I do not appreciate with. I learned how to use different foundations and highlighting. Even though I did not really do something while others were so happy to apply make-up on their face, I did what I usually make-up when I go to church every Sunday.

I noticed that make-up is also important to be a designer. We also draw the fashion figure with colors to express the make-up on face. Maybe, I could practice one by one as Ms. Kitty mentioned.^o^

The Ukay Activity//CHOI, Han Na

I was so tired before we start the activity. I needed to transfer from MRT to LRT to be Anonas Station. I did not know how to use the ticket machine in Cubao LRT station because using machine is different from Korea (phil: press the station button first, then, insert coin; Korea: insert the coin first, then, press the station button.) Anyway, I got correct way to be Anonas and I was little bit late…T-T


Our group’s theme for the outfit was repetition and concentrism. It was very hard to look for the outfit. But we finally could find a blouse and a black skirt for our theme. Andeng was our model and she seemed that she liked that outfit. I mean we all satisfied with our outfit.:)


During the presentation Andeng was not feeling well… So she could not attend the class. I hope we still have a chance to present our outfit to classmate!!

Make-up Class | Yana Santiago

I had fun today! Eventhough RJ ruined my life by doing my 'make-up'. KIDDING! :) I learned that make-up is not just make-up. It could be part of our clothing. The face you show to the world will be of a great deal. We should present ourselves well to others- that is why we have make-up. I also learned that make-up could somehow manipulate the shape of your face, eyes, etc.

Overall, it was a fun experience. I was amazed by Ms. Kitty's and Lhenvil's make-up kits. I want!

Cheers,
Yana

A Non-Confirmist Immune To Criticism//CHOI, Han Na

1. what is the main theses of the article?

- The main these of this article is about individuality or self-expression.

2. What is the attitude of the writer on the theses?

- I thought the writer gave an objective point-of-view.

3. How can you define fashion individuality expression based on the article?

- The fashion individuality expression given was a non-conformist/non-convention/eclectic/androgynous type of style.

4. What is your main opinion on the theses?

- My opinion towards the theses given is also an objective one. i believe that every individual has the right to self-express. Everyone has a unique way of expressing themselves--there are no formulas to expression even to self-discovery. What we may think right or proper for us may not be the same to others. We just have to learn to accept and embrace each other's uniqueness and individuality. Anyway, we can't also appreciate things without experiencing its opposites. They're both important. And they're both challenge and make things in life alive.
