Beauty and inspiration.
Just watched Intimate Portrait featuring Audrey Hepburn on the Lifestyle Network and right now I'm still teary-eyed. Audrey Hepburn lived a life of kindness, of love. She put her fame to good use--she showed us that if an Audrey Hepburn can serve mankind in the most selfless way possible, so can the rest of the world.
And guess what, she even gained a new fan! Ate Pam, my yaya, ended up teary-eyed too and considers herself an Audrey fan now!

I was supposed to the spend the first official day of sem break doing two shoots. Too bad I wasn't able to confirm that I'd still make it to Ate Biancs' 2bU shoot, my cellphone batt died out on me. But I still stayed 'til the shoot finished anyway since making tambay with the people in the shoot was just as fun. It was nice seeing Jigs and Neigh, Tatin (Tatin, your clean makeup just roooocks. I've visited your Flickr for the nth time!), Jake my idol, Ate Biancs (*huggy*), Camille, Ena, Dace, and Ingrid again! Too bad I only got to see Ena play Ursula and Camille play the Queen of Cards/Hearts!
The Seventeen situational shoot was fun as well. Got to meet a lot of people, and the most interesting person for that day was Mike who did my hair. He was so chic in that striped polo he was wearing, and he was reading Queer Eye during waits. I also loved what he did to my hair for that "sushi" shot--I looked like an anime character! Too bad I didn't get to take a picture of that since my phone's batt died out. Tata really made me laugh (It was needed for one of the photos) by dancing. And I finally got to meet Monica, who took the photos of Ate Biancs' SM Denim Dressing article. Her career shift from Seventeen to photography was really worth it! :) Aaaaa, can't wait to see that sushi pic! My geisha dream had partly come true--if they don't choose to publish the photo where I was wearing a red turtleneck!
*sigh*
I really really love shoots. Shoots are fun, whether you're a model or you're working behind the scenes. Work isn't really work, it's all play! You get to meet and hang out and have fun with great and talented people! Yay for talent and yay yay for fun!

Life gets more and more beautiful the more you face it with hope. Remember I was down in the dumps not so long ago--so down I actually didn't have real self-respect. I fell, I got even more hurt by the day, I committed a series of mistakes out of sheer impulse and stupidity. But I realized you can't spend the rest of your life feeling sorry for yourself. Happiness is a choice. Let the sunshine in, open up your eyes, and hope will revive you.
Life is beautiful for those who see the reason behind each suffering.

A new song for you: Akap by Imago :)

Tata gave me homework. I need you guys to comment with your answers:
"What's the most embarrassing thing you did that made your crush find out you like him/her?"
Comment away and get a chance to see your answers come out in Seventeen! :)
