Anino / Star Magic Trailer





ANINO consists of characters tackling their own "shadows" -- children, teens and adults who have life issues that they can not or refuse to resolve. It is at a retreat house where these characters meet each other and share their personal struggles, in an attempt to exorcise their demons.
Mr. Paradiso (Jake Cuenca) encourages the retreat participants to share their stories with each other, hoping to find comfort in the thought that they are not alone in their suffering. In ANINO, the retreat participants wonder who among them needs help the most. Zyra, a young teen, shares how she can not find the courage to forgive herself for being the reason why her sister died. Camille, a transgender who was molested by her stepfather, an event which caused her mother to take her own life. Rino, who is hiding from the authorities after murdering an uncle who wronged him. Marcing, who can not move on after his wife's death. Weng, who despises herself for being less of what people think as beautiful yet refuses to acknowledge the purity of her heart. Isabel, who wants to separate from her unfaithful spouse and is contemplating on aborting her unborn child. At the retreat, they learn to forgive, to let go, and move on. They realize that they have a choice in the battles they need to conquer in life. In the end, it is the shadows who lead the living into the light.

Anino Shoot / Star Magic

Some of the actors we worked with. I wish I remembered all their names but i dont. haha!
Yesterday was a loooooong day. I woke up at 2 because call time for the shoot was 4am at Las Brisas Hotel in Antipolo, and stayed there till 8pm. All good though. I had lots of fun, got to meet new make-up artist friends and star magic talents. :) The shoot is for a movie called Anino, an indie horror film starring Jake Cuenca, Dimples Romana, Yeng Constantino etc. which will premier on March 19 at Trinoma if I'm correct. Thank you Rina Gorospe for the food, the fun, and the experience. :)
A team from makeup design academy also showed up to help out.

Food Magazine Shoot


Food Magazine Shoot

Karen and I did the make-up for a couple of chefs for a Food Magazine shoot last week. I actually came from the Cosmetologie fair at SMX before heading to the model units of Park Terraces at Greenbelt that day. Over all it was a good day filled with all things make-up. I had fun. Will post photos of the shoot when I receive the magazine. :)



Enjoying Manila With Carlos


Enjoying Manila With Carlos

Carlos doing his thing
Taking a break from the usual make-up posts just cause I enjoyed this tour so much. Last weekend I signed up to join the Intramuros tour by Carlos Celdran. I was with my niece Colette, her boyfriend Justin and my sister Jika. It's Colette and Justin's first time in the Philippines so it's perfect to take them with me. They loved it and kept talking about the experience until we dropped them off at their condo at the fort.

The tour started at Santa Clara street with all of us singing the Lupang Hinirang, the perfect introduction :) Then we walked around Fort Santiago, stopping once in a while to sit on the grass to watch the one man theatre that is Carlos Celdran. After that we were told that we could choose to either walk, ride a kalesa or a pedicab for free to the location of the old Ateneo de Manila which was just a couple of blocks away. The tour ended at Barbara's where Carlos treated everyone to a cup of halo-halo. I honestly could go on this tour again and again without getting sick of it, it's just that good. I can't wait to watch Livin' La Vida Imelda when my schedule free's up. For tour dates and rates visit Carlos' website here.




you have to love the passion this guy has for what he does
