yesterday/last night

Yesterday was overkill.

Ana and i were back to London at very early in the morning for our personalised training with our make-up teacher Lu. This was the third day of our training.

I thought because we were just the only two students, it would have been shorter and much less strenous. Boy, was i wrong. she made sure we got our money's worth and just after 5 pm.

Lu is absolutely lovely, (especially when she likes you.which i'm thankful that she does, because when i got home, i had an invite at FB to become her friend,yayy! starstruck!). And thats not the only thing too, she and i were chatting the whole time during the class, and obviously more yesterday when it was just her, myself and the sis. she was asking me questions about my life and whether i should continue to do make up as a profession). She encouraged us to continue it, and said that Ana has beautiful strokes for glamour and fashion make-up (the eyes her forte, and mine, getting the foundation spot on and the eyebrows "exquisite"--and funny enough, doing the "wedding make up" LOL).

She also gave us tips on how to price our work and gave us wonderful funny anecdotes about the celebrities she's done faces for (plus insider tips on the 'kit' to start us off--and not everything is designer brands).

The best thing was: she trained us how to do 'false eyelashes' the proper way (not drag queen way). But of course, the drag queen eyelashes were taught in context to when to use it (for cinematic/photographic look).

During the breaks, Ana was busy facebooking on her phone (while munching her muffin,and i was just too hungry to concentrate on anything else).

London was extremely hot yesterday, and i was sweating like pig. It felt like i was in the philippines back again. Ana said, she regretted bringing her coat as it was boiling.

At the end of the day, we headed straight home, so unusual to our nightly stroll around Picadilly circus and Bond street for some (mini) shopping for cosmetics. (Ana's make up kit is getting pretty full!).

Last night, we headed straight home to catch some nap (looong day) before a boozy barbeque at cheryl's garden in honour of her sister Pam.

Unfortunately, the nap didnt happen. Adrian was in the garden toiling, and said us girls should make the most of Ana's last week in the UK. So Ana and i decided to do some girly bonding (again!) at Lakeside as per A's orders.


***

some photos from the alcohol infested night at Cheryl's and Glenn's. (They thought of having a barbeque as Cheryl's sister is leaving for South Africa a week after Ana )

they are like my family here in the UK and we just enjoy one another's company so much.

some photos...

(iphone)

the sister was tipsy..we blame cheryl for instilling the sister with a taste for expensive champangne, because everytime we go to their house, thats all they serve Ana as drink. they said one boring sister who doesnt drink is enough.lol.

*
we love the outdoor fire..sure kept us warm last night.






okay, thats just pretend drinking..someone has to carry Ana's drink while she takes the photo,LOL.

*
were such a strong group. they might visit us in the Philippines some time soon.
