A 22 year- old deep- seated Asian who looks at things differently and artistically. He oddly thinks of himself as a man with subtle masculinity fed by his lacking proof of confidence and personality. But his laid- back character with a heart so dear makes it tolerable. Singing might not be in his gore, but the fondness never mislays.

Finally! After rushing and feeling weary and melancholic at the same time, it’s done. Though as much as I wanted to feel optimistic about the output, I know for a fact I have to deal with this jumpiness, and uncertainty.
Whenever I am followed by the lens, I get anxious. I stammer, or worst, lose my words.
The idea of make- up is simple and generic yet the instruction and familiarity may somehow not be complementary with your daily activities.
Say you’re: a student who blissfully faces her graduation day tomorrow; a proud soon-to-be wife to the man of your dreams in a few hours; or a businesswoman going to a Black Tie event to receive her Entrepreneur of the Year award and make an endearing speech. Perhaps, you don’t have the time of your life to get stuck in a sticky situation and stress about it and worst, look the part.
Here’s when a make- up artist walks in at your doorstep and helps you become beautiful and most importantly, makes you feel beautiful.
A lot of people hear make-up artist and think frivolous; for rich people, unnecessary since woman can do their own makeup every day. Not so fast-sure. One must realize that everyday makeup won’t stand up to the eye of the camera, most especially with people’s eager eyes. These jokers are serious. They see every tiny detail, and no matter how much of that branded cosmetic you put on, it just doesn’t have the ability to provide enough coverage that you need.
Yes, there are some confident souls who can roll up their sleeves and tackle the task themselves, but for your moment in the spotlight, amidst time restraints, wouldn’t you rather have the job done by a professional?

Recently, we had taping for our lifestyle- themed program called Lifestyle & BeauTV. Everyone should know that any television-set production is fast paced, so everyone should be looking perfectly even before the camera starts rolling. Ms. Luffel Cornista, the resident make- up artist for the day made an effortless job dolling up two of our muses: Ms. Maian Garcia, my co- host; and Ms. Jonah Mae Cornel, guest model.
Since 2010, Ms. Luffel has been creating beautiful faces as a freelance make- up artist to clients ranging from wedding personalities, debut celebrants, to fashion and ad models. Before the boom in her career, she works at a bank. She told us that applying make- up became a necessity then and that what pushed her more to pursue the vocation were due to her friends’ belief and encouragement.
Her expertise wasn’t only brought by her interest in cosmetics but because of hard work and dedication. She attends seminars, and constantly watches make- up tutorials on Youtube to educate herself more. As what she said, make- up comes in trial and error. It mostly depends on your knowledge on products and skin care.
For clients needing hair and make-up services, wardrobe and accessories, and photoshoot styling at very reasonable rates, you can reach Luffel via email at cornistalufelia@yahoo.com or cornistalufelia@gmail.com.
Subjugated by frenzied activities.
I have never been all worn-out than now. All I could ever think are gummy bears and s’more, and if you care to grant me any of which that has been mentioned, then you are free to exploit me in any way you want; as you wish or how vile things could go, just to give you the satisfaction you deservingly needed.
The fancy in words are to be forgiven. Below are samples of the output produced after a long, grating, and hot afternoon of shooting for our show ‘Lifestyle and BeauTV’ (which I’ll talk of you soon after I earn reasonable bragging rights to crow you the uphill struggles I’ve had to go through for this show).
As you can see, they’re basic’lly Lookbook- inspired. Pleading guilty with the location, and editing, the team somehow seemed delighted – maybe the heat has something to do with it.
Nostalgia
Wrath
Lie
The clouds start dissipating, while the rain is about to pour.
It’s that time where summer is ending – time where the fuming spirits of the youth are disturbed, and calmed.
I always wonder how it feels to have a room with overlooking windows on it. It must be thrilling to see in slow motion how the outside world works its magic.
The swaying of the leaves, the sexy ‘taho’ vendor in his tight washed blue jeans, the parade of filthy cars, the sunlight streaking through to my unsullied face; what a beguiling moment, and a tempting fancy for a bed fest with someone you want to get intimate with.
But…
Lost are the days when the clamor of the tiger dragonflies visits you at home, and feels excitement to catch one so you could trade a pinch on your nip. Pandesal deliveries have gone astray, yet the harmonic horn blows often play to the lethargic millennia atmosphere.
Memories at sea continue to linger; blue times evaporate. And the stink of today’s people’s viewpoints vexes my hunger for revolution, and amity.
When will cats realize they’re not animals, but extraterrestrials? And when will the human race recognize its futility?
Let us bare imperfect bodies;
Wrinkled, freckled, scarred or fat.
Let us nurse our thirsty babies
with no ruckus, fuss or spat.
Let us strive to teach the callow
taunters in their pants and shirts,
not to be so cruel and shallow,
ridiculing ‘til it hurts.
Let’s beseech the Christian pious;
Not to flinch nor take offense.
And look upon us without bias.
Nature knows what makes most sense!
This was during our music video shoot of our contemporary modified “Atin Cu Pong Singsing”, perhaps last year, and since everyone was waiting for the hailed prompt ‘kuno’ director, we got to take pictures and expressed vanity at the moment.
These overlooked photos, which I edited eventually, are worth sharing after all.
