A Portrait of the Artist as Filipino

                Just last Saturday, we finished shooting a short film for our Literature class. We chose Nick Joaquin's "A Portrait of the Artist as Filipino" hence the title of my blog post. We had to shoot it for just two days since my groupmates and I were all busy.
                It was my first time to act in front of the camera. Boy! It was really different! I really find it more comfortable doing theater. I started out in theater when I was nine and I guess the transition from theater to film was a bit of a shock to me.

                Anyway, my first experience was super fun and I had a blast working with my groupmates. Sorry if the quality is not that good since I was just using my camera phone. (Bringing camera is just to much of a hassle for me that day.)

                Welcome to our set! We had to find an old house because of the setting of the story. Lucky for us, we found one and the owners were very kind. They even provided us free lunch! :)

                     That's me and Entine! We portray the roles of the old maids, Paula and Candida. That explains the 'grey hair' on her. Btw, my 'loveteam' in this story took this photo. It was funny doing the scenes with Neil because he felt intimidated! He's a year younger than me and he treated me like his ate. Haha. I also did the hair and make up on everyone.

               I actually took this one without Entine's permission. hehe. We were on our break when I snapped this photo. We were all kinda tired since we had to start shooting early in the morning and ended in the evening.

               On September 28, 2012, we will have our very first Filipino Play/Film Festival . Here's the official poster for our short film. Please do help me in winning the People's Choice Award by hitting the like button. :) The link is in here. Every like counts! Thank you!

Happy Pills

                As promised earlier, here are the looks that my friend Rovie and I styled. I also did the make-up and took these photos. Lala was kind enough to volunteer as the model. The shoot is for Rovie's online shop Happy Pills. Please do check out the shop! :)

                The location of this shoot is filled with insect and all those creepy crawlers but it didn't keep us from finishing the shoot. Our model and photographer even suffered ant bites. Oooh! The things that we do for the love of fashion!

Feeling Like a Lady

                  I've been very busy lately and I forgot to update my blog. T.T Aside from my acads, I also had to do some make-up, styling and production work on the sides which made my schedule crazier. (Will post my styling projects later.)

                  When you have busy schedule like mine and you have little time to think of an outfit, choose pieces that's got print and play with colors.

                  I really am feeling extra feminine these past few weeks if you've noticed. I just discovered that almost half of my closet consists of floral pieces-- tops, shorts, skirts and even shoes!

                  Forgive the eye bags,please. I had to sleep late the night before that. Anyway, If you noticed, the blouse I'm wearing has interesting sleeve details with the tiered lace making it very feminine. When I saw this blouse, I just imagined pairing it with something feminine, too! Luckily, I found these pair of shorts (yes, those are shorts) in my mama's old closet again! I just love everything and anything vintage! (Check out your mom's old clothes, too! You'll find very interesting clothes.)

                  As usual, I piled up silver bangles and chunky stud earrings. I love how this blag bag matches almost anything I wear! My boyfriend gave it to me. I just love everything he gives. I swear he's got greater sense of style.

                 My highlights are starting to fade now and I'm thinking of trying out ombre hair. :) Maybe next week? 

             Thanks to Casey, my resident blog photographer! :)

PS:

             My baby brother and I love staying up late and share songs we love. This is one of my fave songs and it just keeps repeating on my playlist lately. When I shared this to him, he got obsessed about it. I hope you like it, too. :D
