#193: I'm a Foodie (Part II)

As you all know, I'm a self-proclaimed foodie. A week ago, a friend of mine was looking at my phone and was going through my pictures and during this time she mentioned that I have more pictures of food than people in my phone; moments like these are why I call myself a foodie and I love it. These pictures were taken on my phone and as usual, I have ran out of picture memory and decided it's time to upload them on this blog. So with no further due, enjoying the images of some of the foods I have dined on over the past months. All foods labeled "home-made" were made by me :) Enjoy your eyes, and feel free to make/try some of these at your liking.

#182: Happy Hair (3)

I had a performance this weekend, and I wanted to share my look with you all. I had fun with the look, especially the beautiful big flower. Also, I've got the "face like cake" look of course, my usual dance performance routine. A friend of mine did my makeup, and I loved it. She was so cute because when she started, she let me know that I was the first person of darker complexion she's ever done. So my advice to her was just give me bright and fun colors and enjoy the process. It turned out great in my opinion, everything popped out accordingly. Of course, it's not a look I'll rock in my everyday life (due to my low tolerance for makeup) but I like having dramatic looks for my performances.

My friend lend me the flower

Performance time!!!
