Hey Look! I'm Inspired! :)

============================================

Hey guys! :)
How's everyone?!
Hope you're all doing okaaaaaaaaaaay!


Did anyone miss me? LOL. Just kidding.

Well, you guys are prolly thinking why the heck I speak like this. Uhm, nothing. I'm just used to speak this way. :)

So Hey, Look! I'm inspired and it's all because I'm happy and contented. That's very inspiring huh.

Yeah, I know it's been a couple of weeks since I last wrote an entry and I'm back!
I'm back to write a very non-sense entry again. LOL. Kidding! It may sound non-sense but for me, it has full of sense. These are my thoughts, so non-sense might not be the right kinda word to describe my entry. Anyway, you're sort of aware that I'm not a girl. I mean, I'm not a REAL girl. And if you're gonna try to discriminate me, Oh, so sorry honey but you've lost the fight already.

So I went from this:

To this:

With that kind of transformation, who wouldn't get inspired, right? And yes, myself is my inspiration. :) Sounds crazy or narcissism but what can I do? It's me and I know, I can't be an inspiration to anybody but to myself only.

And then one day, while I'm at a birthday celebration, This guy was introduced to me:

and I was like, "Hey! :)" By the way, his name is Chester Kier. (sounds very manly to me. LOL)

As far as I can remember, that was in May, 2013 somewhere in Intramuros, Manila. A week after, he was welcomed to our group or should I say, our "Circle of friends". At first, he was just somebody that's in my contact list, no more, no less. Then he started sending *group messages.

*(GROUP MESSAGE - sending out messages to your full contact list about everything that you want to share.)

Actually, I can't remember how it all started but I just found myself replying to every message he sends out and I really liked it. So it continues until the end of June, 2013. We then realized that our feelings were mutual. I like him, and he likes me. The feeling was like, "He and me, against the world." well, of course, don't take it literally. LOL.

Anyway, we continued having a conversation through text messages until July came in. In that period of time, we went to a higher level. He used to call me to check if I'm okay, or if I have had my dinner before I go to work, or about whatever. Then after a couple of days, he's already mentioning me in his group messages, also calling me as "Mama Andi" which freaked me out a little. I was like, "Where in the world he got that call sign??!".  Then I realized, I can't do something about it since that's what he wanted. And so I got my own call sign for him and that's "Papa Kier". And that's how it all started. :)

In the middle of July's last week, we talked about getting officially committed to each other. It was very intense and i got overwhelmed. The feeling was very submerging that I thought I was dreaming that time. Finally, after 6 years, a guy asked me to be his girlfriend. Well, lucky me! :P

So we went out for a party on August 3rd. :) What I didn't know is that he already had a plan on asking me to be his girlfriend and officially announce this to the mob. If you can just see what I looked like that night, you'll prolly laugh at me. LOL.

I felt like my face was distorted because of the happiness that I was feeling, I got my emotions mixed, I thought I was about to cry then I'm gonna smile, and whatever. So from there, we normally go out for a date whenever we both have spare time. He always tells me that he loves me and so do I. He never got ashamed of having me in front of many people. He was really sweet and he does that every single day. Whenever I ask him "Pa, am I still pretty?", he never answered. But what he does is kiss me. He's kissing me as if I am the most beautiful creature he has ever seen in his 24 years of existence.

Today is December 4 and it's our 4th Month of being together, and I could not ask for more. I can tell, he's the sweetest guy I have met. :) And now, he serves as an inspiration to me. Whatever I do in my life, it's all because of him. Hope that we could last for eternity.

==============================================

LOL. Just to have something to post.  :P

Anyway, good day gorgeous readers!

I'd like to start this post, of course, with a smile. :)

Does anyone here know about Michelle Phan? Well, if you're thinking about makeups, beauty routines, very good health and skincare tips, then definitely we're thinking about the same person. I don't know if it's just me or everyone else in here also thought that she's the first person to create and upload a makeup tutorial of her own on Youtube. Really not sure if she's the first one who did this but surely, she's the first person I saw. LOL. I was really crazy about these effin' makeup tutorials!

After Michelle Phan, I discovered her sister-in-law, Promise Tamang Phan's youtube channel and her celebrity-or-whatever-she-may-think-of transformations; then I got crazy again to the nth time. LOL. It continued 'till I discovered many Filipina Makeup gurus on youtube, that's where I saw my idols Ana Patricia Victorino and Noe Mae of ColorIsMyWeapon. :) Again, I was admitted to a psychiatric ward after seeing their videos. LOL. Just kidding! :D

Since I was crazy enough to create my own video, I started watching and observing how a basic makeup tutorials are being made. I looked for my digital camera right away and tried to film my own tutorial :) By the way, here's the camera that I'm using up to now:

*Hewlett-Packard PW360T*

And that time, I don't have much makeups in my bag so I'm trying my best to make the most out of these items. Yah know, I'm too lazy to buy and try new items in cosmetics line! I swear. LOL. I don't have lotsa makeup brushes, and I only have one Eye-Shadow Palette. Serving the true not-so-makeup-addict-but-aspiring makeup artist. :)

*Photo from my IG Account: @itssoAndyGAGA*

Then, I hit the lights, I setup the camera, and I got in to action.  I'm a no good video editor, I only do the simplest video editing that i can ever think of.  I'm a bit shy when smiling in front of the camera, and lastly, I don't talk while filming! LOL. I'm a subtitle-lover, I admit. :)

Alrighty, I won't go step-by-step on how I filmed and edited the video. I'll tell you the truth, it wasn't easy doing this stuff. After filming, Imma connect my digicam to my laptop, transfer the file then open my Sony Vegas Pro (Video Editing tool I use for cutting unnecessary scenes), render and save, then Windows Live Movie Maker where I adjust and edit the speed, effects, and music for the video. 

So after a couple of weeks, here are the videos that I was able to produce. Enjoy watching! :)

Till next time sweeties! XOXO

Start everything with a smile :)

Good day beautiful readers!

Oh hell yeah! This is it! :)

                    "A warm smile is the universal language of kindness"

I'd like to welcome y'all to my first Blog!

Well, to start with, let me introduce myself.

I'm kinda just-you're-average-joe person.  Aside from being pretty (fair enough. haha), nothing more is special about me. 

Next, I love makeups! I really do! However, I don't consider myself as a makeup addict since i don't usually buy cosmetics to try it out, if you know what I mean. :) On the contrary, I still accept makeup sessions like weddings, photoshoots, birfday celebrations, and anything that includes beautification. One secret I have about this so-called profession of being a MakeUp Artist, I haven't tried doing Men's Makeup.

I'm sure lotsa makeup artists out there, felt the same when they first tried to groom a man. LOL. I think I have a lame excuse about this and it's simply because, I'm afraid I might overdo their makeup and they may end up like they are the bride. :D

Ugh! Enough about makeup and girlie stuff. :)

So about Blogging, I don't actually have even a little piece of idea about this.  Until I met my former-officemate-became-a-very-close-friend +Katy.  She whole-heartedly introduced me to the world of Blogging and of course, more make up! LOL.

However, I still don't read that much since I have a strong feeling that I can't give even a second for reading other posts. So I'm kinda catching up now. With her, I was able to meet some of the bloggers and makeup gurus that she follows. :) That was really fun and exciting though!

I just turned 24 on the 16th of September, 2013.  I celebrated on the 14th anyway. I consider it as the best birffday celebration ever. 'Twas not a very-expensive-and-fabulous-party-ever kind of celebration, but I can say it was the best so far because it has been executed with love and patience, coming from my very-loving-thoughtful-and-handsome boyfriend. :) His presence was that sweetest gift ever.

I am currently working for Homestead Technologies (a company that specializes websites and online stores for small businesses). I used to be in the Technical Team where we support clients with their websites and other technical issues. I'm now with the Billing/Cancellation Department, and kinda dunno what happened to our team, why I'm already here and not in there anymore. LOL.

And I admit, I'm not being productive at work right now. "Oh Why?" Prolly you'll ask.  Well, I wrote this first entry during work hours. Hell yeah! Like a boss! LOL. I'm using my company's internet and resources to just introduce myself to y'all gorgeous readers. :) Well, it certainly won't last because laptop's already fixed, and I just need to dropby and get it from my friend who repaired it. Hashtag: Sooooo Egggzooooiiitted! ^,^

That's kinda much about my current status in life. :) See? told yah, not that interesting. Yeah, I already know that.  LOL. But seriously, I find writing so much fun. You can be, you can do everything when writing a Blog. :)

Hey you! Yes you! :) Come here and claim your free hug from me. "Oh Why?" again. LOL. Uhm, Nothing sweetie.  I just want to express my full gratitude to you, by taking some time to dropby and read and support my very first entry. Hope this is the start of our friendship and closure. :) Comments are very much welcome. Please share the things you think I might need to improve my writing. LOL. but hey! i'm serious 'bout that. :)

Oh well, see you in my next post. XOXO

P.S.: And I stand by the name, "Andi" :*
