i just came home from a birthday party at riverside. my mother just tagged me along. it turned out to be an okay gathering. i thought it would be boring. but the party was filled with nice and jovial people. i met a woman who could be my ticket to getting a more stable [and permanent] job. yay! she was was cool. so, i hope everything pans out. and OH, one of the reasons why i came was because i wanted to meet marco sison. i like his voice. i wanted to hear him sing “make believe”. but for some reason he wasn’t able to come. hay.

in the latter, the famous make-up artist fanny serrano came. he looked so tired from the plane ride. he just came from the philippine expo which took place in pomona. he did a demo: the fundamentals of how to put make-up. he also introduced his fanny serrano line of make-up. i must say that i love his concealer. the concealer [when applied] is not heavy or cakey. i didn’t really want to approach fanny because he seems to be mataray. but when he said, “hali ka dito iha“, it seems like i had no other choice but to follow. he was trying to figure out the color of concealer. i was a walnut/chestnut. basta nut. then he said that he liked my morena color and the color of my jet black hair. i shouldn’t change neither of them. wow. naks. he seemed to be tripping on my lips. he liked my lips. he told me to try the red lipstick. but i don’t wear lipstick at all. i’m hesitant because i might look like a pokpok. hahaha. but in fairness carry. hahaha.

after the demo, me and my mother got to speak to fanny. he gave us his number in the philippines. he was shock as to how old i was. we were talking and he was like…

don’t dye your hair [like red] bagay na sa’yo yan. maganda noo mo, maganda ilong mo, maganda yung lips mo. pag nag debut ka ako ang magmake-up sa’yo.

hahaha. i said, “tita fanny i’m way past my debut 25 years old na po ako.” and fanny said “HAAA … na fake-han mo ako”.

riverside is such a long drive. but kuya edgar’s house was nice. the drive home was nice. the stars were out to play. there was one big one. geeeeesh i wish it heard my wish. hahaha. sana sana.
