Thank you so much for this feature. Agoo of Preview Magazine. This was a feature I unearthed back in July 2007. As I read the article again, OMG, nothing has changed. I still love smokey eyes, I still love makeup so much! Hahaha! And check out the bottom of the feature with my time table. Trip down memory lane, indeed 🙂
Thank you so much to Kitty and http://www.smartparenting.com.ph for this article about me and my day jobs. Haha! Click here for the full article. Pursue all your passions, my friends, no matter how big or small. We are only given one life. No day but TODAY!
It was a beautiful afternoon last October 10, 2014 at the Manila Peninsula Hotel… Look at these gorgeous blooms!!! They just instantly brightened up my day 🙂
Another wedding, another stunning gown… This one by the talented Francis Libiran 🙂
Angela was my beautiful bride that day 🙂
Special thanks to one of my favorite hairstylists, RJ Dela Cruz, for doing such a great job on Angela’s hair 🙂 An effortless and loose updo with fresh flowers 🙂
I love Angela’s deep set eyes 🙂
Thanks RJ and Mike for helping Angela out with her gown! Haha!
Angela’s smile and laughter was infectious 🙂
Hope you had a wonderful wedding, Angela! 🙂

People have always been asking me if I do makeup workshops or seminars, etc. And I always turn them down and recommend them to my other friends who are better teachers. I just never had the gift of teaching. My mind is just one unorganized closet and I can jump from one topic to another, rambling on and on. I end up being the only one who understands myself. Haha! And I’m a very shy person. I freak out when asked to speak in front of people. Singing in front of people, I can handle. Speaking, I just can’t.
And then, one day, I got a text message from Teacher Dez, one of Damien’s teachers in his summer classes at The Learning Jungle. She asked me if I could be one of their guests for show and tell 🙂 Since it was Mother’s Day Week, they wanted mothers to share with the kids about what we do 🙂 Teacher Dez also invited two other mothers to speak in Damien’s class. Took me a while before I could reply… I was thinking, speaking in front of a group of three year olds??? Where do I even start??? Should I start with the basics like skin care? Or the right foundation for their skin tone? LOL. I ended up saying YES. I also wanted to see how Damien was in class. Hehe
Here I am in school, waiting for the kids to finish their lunch 🙂 My only thought was… I hope they like me.
Setting up for my “presentation”. Damien was such a great assistant! Helped me set up my kit 🙂
My audience, about 10-15, three to four year old kids… 🙂
I really didn’t know how to begin my talk with these kids. Thank God for the Teachers who guided me all through out 🙂 So we began with… “Let us make Teacher Raissa a Princess!”
I was so glad I brought my colorful false eyelashes!!! The kids loved them… It was like MAGIC.
Here is Teacher Raissa wearing rainbow lashes 🙂 Turned her into Rainbow Brite. (SO SORRY ABOUT THAT, TEACHER RAISSA!) Was just following the kids’ instructions. Haha! 🙂
I was so happy that the kids were so interested!!! 🙂 Even the boys were telling me what color I should put on Teacher’s eyes. “Put blue!”, “We like purple!”, “Wow, it’s like painting!”.
Again, the lashes were a big hit with the kids!!! Thank God I brought my Shu Uemura feather lashes. We transformed Teacher Raissa into an enchanted bird! 🙂
For the final look, the kids wanted me to put orange lipstick on Teacher Raissa 🙂 It actually looked pretty 🙂
Thank you so much, Teacher Dez, Teacher Raissa and Teacher James for inviting me to speak in front of Damien’s class 🙂 It was the most fun makeup workshop I’ve ever conducted!!! 🙂 Hmmm… maybe I should start doing makeup workshops for kids. How fun is that! 🙂
See you all again in a few weeks when Nursery 1 begins… 🙂
