SS109 Live at Fisher Mall



I've been so busy again these days. My son's growing up so fast and he's taking my time.I couldn't leave him alone anymore, he can even get out of his own walker! Last Wednesday I went out to see SS109's show at The Fisher Mall.
Since I'm already a mom I couldn't really go out, stay up late and watch their gigs on every bars we could possibly have in Cavite, Manila and Makati City.
I could really count on my fingers those gigs and mini concerts that I've watched from them. Since it's gonna be a solo live show from the band and it was a Korean Thanksgiving holiday, I was able to spend the whole day watching and supporting the group.

Sorry baby! You're too young to come and see Daddy's, 
Uncle's and your Ninong's show.



Thanks to Mr. Njel De Mesa, the President of  NDM Incorporated. He invited SS109 and gave the band a solo slot to perform live in front of the young crowd.The solo live performance was sponsored by NDM Studios as a band blowout every Wednesday.


They performed their cover songs and carrier singles for an hour.
The group has been really professional and performed energetically,
headbanging to their music the whole time and rocking the stage.
Each members have their own personality and unique charm,
glammed up with their signature styles with a twist of glam metal and glam rock.


The band slowly introduced themselves and their genre as 80's old school glam metal rock band, and when we say old school it's Motley Crue, Poison, Skid row and more glam metal acts from 80's to early 90's. To those who grew up listening to these old school bands and to those who have watched those rock artists from the 80's then seeing SS109 perform live will be nostalgic.

They nailed the whole performance and most of the audience were students.
It's a bit funny to see their reaction when they saw the band members coming out of the car. They looked at them from head to toe, a bit shocked and stunned, and pretty amazed and amused... and so is everyone inside the mall, be it guards and sale staffs.


Being too different from the young musicians they see on TV and those boy band they listen to these days, it's really nice to see those young boys and girls appreciating and starting to idolize the group. At the end of the show they were clapping and shouting.

I even encouraged the fan boys and fan girls to take a picture with them so they went on stage and had a few shots. Yes, I was the one who took their photos holding several smartphones. I was a photographer, a makeup artist and a personal assistant that day, and a fan girl as well.

This is my hubby, the band's bassist. My younger bro is the band's Keyboardist.

I'm running out of my black eyeliner and black eye shadow because these two men used them more frequently than I use them.


The only photo I have with my husband is this, taken by my younger bro.
During this shoot my hubby kept mocking me and telling people who were looking at us that I'm a die hard fan.

On my lips: Mac Pink Nouveau lipstick

What I wore that day were totally old. I've put up all of my favorite clothes together that I've bought a few years ago. I'm happy that those that I've bought for a long time never go out of style coz I might say they're timeless, and my style has definitely been freaky and odd to begin with. 
Like this leatherette I've got from Genevieve Gozum that I've bought for 1,800 pesos way back 2008, the Marithe Francois Girbaud handbag that I had since 2006, Candies top that I've bought in 2012 and my DIY black midriff top that I used for dancing way back 2006. I remember ironing all the rhinestones to it patiently, one by one.


My leatherette zip up top has so many stories and memories since it's quite old already. I remember how it caught my attention and took a photo of it using my Nokia N70, then went back the next day to the mall to purchase it. I wore it for the first time on my first job's Christmas party since I've always been inappropriately dressed, as it was a smart casual event. Then right after leaving my first job my copy cats from that same company I used to work with bought theirs! They wore it on their Christmas party too.

Anyways, seeing CL from 2ne1 wearing it the way I used to wear it left a huge smile on my face. I'm still claiming I had this style first (HAHAHA), though CL's wearing a real leather.


As for my bottoms I wore my all time favorite shredded black lace leggings 
and suede wedge platform ankle boots, with leopard prints on the inside.
When I wore it at Moa the Beauty Assistants from Mac were asking me where
did I get it, coz they loved it!


Prior to their solo show Francis and Ezzy attended  NDM's Indie Music Awards Night last September 8. Here's their photos with Njel De Mesa and Filipina Girls



Please support and listen to our indie bands. You'll never know how talented they can be, you might wanna take a look at their videos and listen to their songs. For their upcoming gigs and bar tours, here's the link to SS109's Facebook account.

On our way to Quezon Avenue I had this beautiful shot of our hand together.

Both of us wearing black nail polish and awesome wristwatch. I gave this snake wristwatch to him and he wore it for his gigs.

Coming up!! We've attended a wedding, and the pictures turned out to be great!
I'll post about it soon, still trying to put it up together, and as always, its more of like an image blog.

Day and Night Makeup: Rihanna's Who's That Chick? MV Inspired

How are you lovelies? :) Thought July will pass without a post? I thought so too.
I've been pretty busy lately, writing and researching for my article with Rebelsmarket, editing the pictures of SS109 when I have time, doing my online jobs and at the same time doing my tasks as a married woman.

One boring day, my 12 year old cousin came to my house. I've promised her before that I'll do her makeup and take pictures of her. No, she's not the one that i've transformed before as Elsa, but she wants a colorful look too. Since I wasn't feeling well also as I was having flu-like symptoms, I wanted to divert my attention and do something awesome and fun.

I told Carlyn we'll do the Day and Night version of Rihanna's makeup from her
music video "Who's that Chick?" with David Guetta. The video was released January of 2011, which has been one of my all time favorites. Honestly I just love it because of her makeup. That's one genius idea of making a catchy music vid.



For the day makeup it fits my little cousin as it is vibrant, colorful and playful.
Whereas for the night version of course I want it. A sucker for gothic makeups.
We played up with my makeup palettes and it took us an hour, 30 minutes each.(You just can't rush perfection.. but it isn't perfectly applied though..)

I'm really in love with my eyeshadow palettes. They're really pigmented and really bright in person. Even my customers have the same feedback. This is the reason why I've decided to sell it. I'm honestly a fan of these palettes from another online store and they're pretty pricey. Now that I have a direct supplier I won't be frowning with its price, and of course I'm selling it for a price cheaper than the others.




While shooting these pictures my other cousin Atta Marie helped us to take some good shots. My son's also there, playing with my stuff and his minion that when turned on, it sings.. Psy's Gangnam Style. (whatda!)





We rarely get a chance to hangout, coz my cousins were busy with their school.
My other cousins were now in college, and one's already working with Philippine Airlines. They'll just visit me whenever they need makeups. If I open their makeup pouch, it's full of makeups from me. My collection's starting to vanish, and has started to migrate to their bags... It's ok, I love them anyway, and atleast they don't have to spend money, they just need to see me..

I'm sure I'm their favorite makeup artists too.. coz they don't have to pay just to have one.. They just call me and sometimes I don't have any choice but to say yes. How I wish I have my own makeup artist when I was young.
It's hard being the first born in the family.



Aside from the palettes and the beautiful colors it create on my face, I'm in love with my new pearls. I've lost my old pair during my son's christening dayI don't have to cry and think about the old one anymore, as the new one is freaking gorgeous. I'm sure my best friend Kitty will like it..


earrings: Chanel Vintage CC Logo Drop Pearl

Lastly, please check out and like my online cosmetics business.
The palettes that I've been using all came from Sugar Skull Cosmetics.



Do you also love Riri's music video? I know it's old but still it's often being recreated as most MUAs love her look. I'm a big fan of Riri and I always listen to her old and new songs on my playlist. 
Have you tried her Mac Lipstick Riri Woo? :)



A short prayer for you lovelies..

Long Hiatus!! May Updates and Work FOTDs

How are you lovelies? I've been out for a while, and I even forgot my blogger password!
Thanks God I've recovered it, after 1234567x attempts. I've been pretty busy lately balancing my time with my work, and with my new family. However I do enjoy being busy coz I've been idle for almost 2 years.It's nice to get back on track, put my make up and heels on, meet new people, and I do miss challenges.Though I left the house already glammed up, my work station has still been like this before starting the shift.


Bag: XOXO Shiny Black Vinyl Carved Hearts Bag
Makeups: Mac Heatherette Compact that contains my favorite powder.
Elf eyeshadow case that contains my two favorite smokey brown shades.
Elf compact that contaeins my favorite cream concealer

 I'm loving Mac's Russian Red for work. They're giving me compliments for it.
Both male and female co-workers were telling me that I rock the red lips,
and it matches my haircolor so well. Since I believe them, I always wear it.


 


I've had different FOTDs depending on my mood...
I wear bold red lipstick matched with cat eyes if I feel relaxed or If I get enough sleep.




Other than that I'm fine with a pinky coral lippie or I'm in for a
faux glow look. I have to fake that glow and conceal those eyebags.. haha.

It was a co-incident when we both found out we're wearing blue collared tees.
We had our selfie when our shift ended. He was laughing at my eyeshadow coz it's blue.
I always look funny for him, I don't know.. he always makes fun of me and laugh..
and when he laughs, it's the funniest laugh ever!

For my next blog post it's going to be really long and less pictures coz I'll be expressing my own opinion regarding "copycats" well it doesn't just apply to me. You'll find out soon.
I'm doing it for someone as well. 


I'll update you lovelies more often, and maybe do and recreate crazy makeup looks again.
Til next time! ^_^
