Free Training.....Free Food....Free Net....This is my kind of life

last May 12-14, 2010 i was assigned to attend a training sponsored by my employer. upon knowing that im one of those selected employees i was already excited. i was thinking "yey! 3 day training with free breakfast, lunch and even merienda!"....but my excitement grew when i got to see the course outline...the training was software test planning and test case design and the company conducting it is DIGILEAF INC.....i thought this is the kind of thing i want to learn more....because as a programmer, im just used to put into code whatever my team lead will assign me to do...but in this training, i will learn more on the analysis and testing aspect. i was with all hopes when we had our first day...i was like a kid whos just attending first day in kindergarten with eyes twinkling from anticipation =)....am happy that until the last day, my expectations were met 100%. The trainor Ms. Jocelyn Reyes really knows what she's teaching us. she's been in the testing industry for a decade already according to her. and i like her teaching style...it was typical classroom type of teaching but i never got bored..my mind never wandered away from her lectures even if we had free net access... (hehehe...ok i browsed through facebook every lunch...but that was our free time). i even got the highest score in our final exam! you might want to check out their company. their site is digileaf.com

another good thing about this training is that i get to know people from different companies like Bank of commerece and Miriam College.its good we share different processes that aided us to analyze our case study even more. here's some of our pictures taken from our last day...

enjoying our last group lunch together. we were served this sweet n sour pork with soup n dessert..yummy =)

of course every training needs a class picture! lol


see our smiles when we got out certificates? =)

Labor of Love....A mother's day gift to my wonderful mom

every mother's day, I always give the same gift to my mom.... red ribbon cake, flowers and a greeting card full of my love messages for her.....so this year i thought would i give the same thing again???? isn't she tired of receiving the same old thing every year???? this is what came into my mind while scouting for gifts at the mall....suddenly i remembered when she said she wanted something hanged on her living room wall....with that, i went to the nearest bookstore from my workplace to buy acrylic paint, set of paint brush and some acrylic pad.....alright!!! i'm all set!!!! but wait.....what the heck will i paint???? im not really a good painter, so something basic yet beautiful will have to do..... after series of searching the net (not to mention youtube for free tutorials hehehehe) i decided to paint japanese cherry blossoms in sunset...... i had fun doing it and am quite happy that it turned out ok....

This is how my painting looked like with frame. Sorry for the poor cam quality

a lot better in frame right =)

my mom really liked it and wishes to have more paintings on her wall ffrom now on.....well i hope next time i can come up with a better cherry blossoms rendition. =)

Look of the day: Silver and Blue Smokey Eyes

to prepare myself for makeup school, i promise myself that i'll practice putiing on makeup more often...too bad there's lot of distractions like facebook, ym, youtube, etc...i was only able to come up with one look this whole week (talk about being lazy eh hehehe)....i used frosted eye shadows in dark blue, white and silver shades. its a new brand that i got from landmark makati...they're really cheap (P69.75 per pot).. so i thought i'll give it a try! if it doesnt work out then it wouldnt hurt my purse so much... at first i said i'll just buy those colors that i dont have in my kit... but as i swatched each pot i didnt notice i was already holding 6 eye shadows, 1 cheek blusher, 1 lip gloss and 1 eye mascara.. i paid almost P1,200 for all..not bad right! enough of my blabbing...here's the look i came up for this week.

My not so little sister anymore

This is my little sister now! Before all she asks of me are candies, toys and cute stuffs. Lately, whenever we're at malls, she asks makeups!! Even getting advises from me if this shade of foundation or concealer fits her. Or what brand of lipstick is kind of cheap but quality is ok......She's just a student that's why she keeps her budget tight when buying makeups.

This is her picture by the way when I dolled her up for her JS Prom. I just used white and silver eyeshadows because she doesnt want something heavy for her look. For her lips and cheeks, I used a very light pink shade.

I had a hard time fixing her hair though. She wanted very loose curls like the korean girls...Instead it turned out to be Goldilocks curl....hhehehe....Am glad she liked it afterwards.



She graduated Salutatorian of her class....Yes...I'm one proud ate (ate in tagalog means older sister =) Here's some of our pics from her graduation

High school life done...College here she comes =)

Now that's my mom..... =)

Look of the Day: The EMO look

Feeling quite lonely because my husband is soooo busy with his new PS3 game (Final Fantasy), I decided to put on makeup that reflects my feelings...the EMO look....

I dont have any idea at first on how to do this. Thanks to youtube and specially the girls who patiently loads their tutorials, I was able to come up with my own rendition of the EMO look. Hope you like this for I had fun doing it. (even if I look like Kung Fu Panda....lol)

Sorry for all the hanging clothes at the back...=P

Trying to look sweet in EMO look....


Now here's the kung fu panda look....lol
