Wouldn't have recognized her in one glance if not for the her name in bold on the cover of this month's Asian Dragon magazine!

Never have I seen her in this kind of make up. She usually goes neutral and pink.

I love this look on her!

She carries it well.

Kudos, Jinkee Pacquiao!!!

Familiar with "budbud"?

In most Asean restaurants it is called sticky rice.

In different parts of the Philippines it is called by different names but composition of sticky rice is the same.

My fave is the one made in my town in Leyte. Very sticky, wrapped in oily banana leaf. Many many ways to eat it. Of course in restaurants, it would either be laid out in your plate and garnished with mango slices. Or sugar. Now these are the 2 non-messy ways. But I prefer to do mine like I've always did since I was a little girl. How my cousins and relatives had been eating it.

Out of its leaf and sunk down into a mug of hot bitter native chocolate!!!

I let it sit for a minute or 2 for the chocolate to be absorbed well by the budbud.

DELICIOUS!!!

Just like so.

Messy to open the leaf, yes.

I have nailed cleanly opening the oily banana leaf with fork and knife right down to a science.

YUM!

If you by any chance know my number and house, you are most welcomed to come right over for some snacks!!! hehehehe...

WHOA...1 MILLION SUBSCIRBERS!!!

My fave no.1 beauty stylist in youtube has reached the 1 millionth subscriber mark!!! Tsssaaaaraannggg: MICHELLE PHAN.
WOW!!! But then again, no surprise there. Among all the hundreds of make up tutorials I have viewed she is indeed the best (simple and quick). I always love the no nonsense stuff.

I bumped into her 2 years ago when I was desperately scorching, yep, that's right, not browsing, but scorching the internet for tips on glam make-up for a really important bash I was invited to. hehehehe. And there I discovered Michelle! I relate to her. Asian skin, brown eyes. Yep, I should be taking tutorials from her. And from then on, I was hooked. For every little Q I turned on to youtube for the A's. From another fave blogger I discovered she has risen beyond the youtube fame.

Another not so surprising fact is that I often use the same technique when I do post processing work on my portraits for clients. As it co-relates to the shading/shadowing styles of my college art teacher. Basically Michelle Phan teaches us enhancements. And she enhances pretty pretty well...
I love her!!!


Discover her...

She is my beautiful addiction...
