Today is my first day at Australian College of Hair Design and Beauty (ACHDB). I’m just so excited about it!

Here’s a background of the story:
In the past three or four months I’ve been really thinking about my future. If I would still be editing or writing in the next five years and will I want to be in this profession by the time I start my own family.

Then I start to think what I would really love to do, and that is to be a make-up artist. I love prettifying myself, creating natural and glam looks. But I could never do it on somebody else’s face. But I found out that it is something I would love to do and learn. I started researching on make-up classes and found two in the Makati area. So yeah, imagine me going to Makati everyday after work, so I thought, yeah, why not?! But I have to save up first for the tuition fee and other expenses I would be spending, thinking to myself, by next year, I’ll go for it.

But looks like fate got something else planned for me. About three weeks ago, my teamate (Aby) ym’ed me an article where my senior (Benok was featured in. It was Q TV’s site, wmn.ph. So I read the article, browsed the site since it was all about women, general kikay stuffs, health and so on. Then, that’s when I saw the article. An Australian college was opening in Podium! Wow! Coincidentally, my family and some friends were going to dinner in Podium. So I said to myself, why not check it out. So I did, and my! Was I impressed. It was a real school, with classrooms, a small pantry, library, and faculty room. Wow! I got so excited over the fact that this was the most convenient place for me to learn to be a make-up artist.

So, I put that idea aside, since I know I have to really save up first. The next week, someone from ACHDB texted me, saying they have a free make-up seminar all I have to do is send in my full name. I said to myself, what the heck, it’s free anyway. So I went to the seminar and saw how an Australian teacher faked a bruise, burn, and an open wound using some special make up. Then I got the chance to talk to some of the college’s teachers and even its director, Geni Gonzales. I got some price list of the course and whoa! was I surprised! Enrolling here would be like studying in a culinary school! But I knew I had to act now, if I even want to make my dream into reality. And so I did. Just last week, I enrolled, and uuhhmm paid. Well, I actually had to loan the money from Papa, since I didn’t have that kind of cash.

I hope in the future I’ll be one of the Philippines’ finest make-up artist (cross your fingers!)

Watch out for fashionable and make-up related posts in the future!

Walking in the rain, under an umbrella may be romantic for some. But the feeling of squishy toes, muddy feet, and wet shoes are not at all appealing. Urgh! a ruined fashionable outfit! You can’t really step out with your flip-flops because you know your feet will just get wet and muddy, but wearing your comfy heels to work is not exactly the best thing to do too because you know slipping and falling is a major possibility; not to mention you’ll ruin your shoes and probably not be able to wear it again. But FC found a solution for your rain-related shoes dilemma.

What do you get when the trendy brand Plains & Prints and one of Philippines’ top designer Rajo Laurel join forces? A fashionable clothing line or more specifically, Rich And Famous (R.A.F.) No, the name of the line doesn’t mean you have to be rich and famous to purchase a piece of clothing. It is actually more of the opposite. Yes! this means you can now afford a Rajo Laurel design for only about more than a thousand pesos. Can you believe that?!

The future has always boggled us. We always wondered whether cars will be flying, we’ll live on Mars, and just how our lifestyle will be. For fashion, surely something will change. In fact, last year one designer takes a giant step on transforming fashion by literally letting a dress or hat transforms itself into an entirely new and different one. Designer Hussein Chalayan did this by creating an animatronic fashion. With the help on the genius behind the hippogriff in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, a totally new kind of technology and fashion fusion would leave both adults and children in awe. I’m talking about a dress that moved on its own, unbuttoned itself, and even turned a Victorian dress into a more updated cocktail dress. Read the rest of this entry »

I became instantly hooked on Gossip Girl, not just because of all the drama, but also because of the fashion! Guys and girls would definitely find something stylish in the cast’s wardrobe. And FC won’t be left behind that’s for sure. One notable fashion trend that Gossip Girl started is the blairband. It is those signature hairbands of Blair Waldoof, played by Leighton Meester. Well, FC found the genius behind those stylish blairbands and that’s Jennifer Behr.

Sometimes I like visiting small boutiques than going through different clothes shops in the mall. And on my way home, I noticed a small sign saying “Bags in the City”. The word “Bags” itself convinced me to make a detour. As I enter the boutique it was like I can hear angels singing hallelujah as I saw the shelves of colorful bags of different designs. I began to look at each bag, looking at every detail like the inside pockets and the materials the bags were made of. I saw some that I liked and some that I could really use. One of these is the hug bags. Not only do they have unique designs, but also very affordable! Nobody would think the bags are only P250 each!

Top shelf: Huggable bags

Guess which one I got.
