Agedashi Tofu + Salmon Sashimi
Last Tuesday, my sister and I made Agedashi Tofu for dinner. I’m a sucker for Japanese food AND tofu. I asked her to help me out since I came home a bit late from the grocery. It was almost dinner time when I came home. I’ve been thinking about putting up more food posts in my blog. I figured it’s a way for me to get back into blogging again. (Side note: I haven’t been in...

I forgot to blog about this. LOL. Check out this link to see the tutorial for this makeup. It’s not the best but I had fun doing it. I messed up the teeth part, right? Anyway, I didn’t actually get to attend any of the Halloween events two weeks ago. We had a village trick-or-treat for the kids and I didn’t participate because of Lee’s PFW show. Then the next day, we...

Intraramuros
My best friend and I went to Intramuros last week (randomly). I just told him I wanted to go there (out of the blue) and he said yes right away. If you’re wondering why my title is ‘Intraramuros’, this was how Azura (from Studio Disney of Disney Channel Asia) pronounced it when they went here to the Philippines during my tween years. She couldn’t pronounce it really well...

Chelsea
(Photo: Christina Zabat; Model: Chelsea Robato; Hair and Makeup: Katchie Mejias) Our mentor, Louie, allowed us to take two frames of Chelsea. It was spontaneous! He was like, “Oh, gusto niyo kunan si Chelsea?” “Of course.” “Two frames lang, ah. Go! Tina, ikaw mauna.” I panicked! It was a good thing I didn’t change my WB, ISO.. You know.. the whole...

Sartorial Challenge / FIP
Our mentor, Louie Pariñas, gave us our very first task since starting with our course in Fashion Photography. We have to take photos of people ala The Sartorialist. My classmates and I were nervous about the challenge since we had to deal with strangers. He gave us two locations to do this challenge: High Street/BGC or Greenbelt. We ended up in BGC. The challenge was postponed since the rain...

Hertz So Good (120911)
I met Roanna a couple of weeks ago thru Snitch Thursdays. It’s a weekly event thing in Attica. She took jazz and contemporary dance classes at Step By Steph a year ago. She invited me to this event where she will be MC-ing. It was her first time and she asked me if I could take pictures of her. I agreed since it was just in The Keg at The Fort Strip. It’s just 5 minutes away from where...

Run & Leap
I covered the Run & Leap event for ARC Manila last August 14. It was fun. It felt a bit weird to be awake at such hour. Also, I didn’t have any sleep at all. I was awake for more than 24 hours. I was afraid I won’t be able to wake up in time for the run. Heh.

I can’t believe I’m saying this: After three years of (insert situation here*), I don’t know how to talk to a guy I like. Seriously. It’s torture! It’s pure torture! Do you even need a manual for this? I honestly don’t know how to start being friends with guys now. I feel so awkward when I’m in the company of one or two male species (that are just...

They call this drink Punyeta. Owners and patrons say you will shout, “Punyeta” after drinking it. I didn’t. But I loved it. Cheapest drink EVER! The jello shot. It’s only P20.
