Meg Face Search 2010

Less than a week ago, I found out I made it to Meg Magazine’s Face Search Top 40, a day late for the panel interview. So my chance of being in the top 10 got forfeited. To my surprise though, Meg texted and informed me that I am still part of the Top 10 Reveal party. Yay! Afterall, I’m still one of the top 40 candidates (out of 673 applicants, by the way). My call time for hair and make-up was at 1:30 pm at Bench Fix Training Salon.

Make-up was courtesy of The Face Shop, impeccably done by Jhag Reyes.

Hair masterpiece was by Jesse Laroga of Bench Fix Salon.

Well, just posting my awesome camera shots (HAHA!) from last night’s Top 10 Reveal at Trio Restaurant and Amber Ultralounge at The Fort Entertainment Center.

It says: AMBER VIP. VIP yo!♥

I reserved this pass for one person. Sadly, he didn’t make it. :|

I got to meet wonderful and totes gorgeous ladies instead. They became my buddies during the event. :)

Tanja Winheim and Kristal Tavarra

With Sarah Meier look-alike, Grizelle Gratela

I don’t have any other decent-looking photos. I’ll probably post some more if someone from the event tags me. But if you are still itching to see some photos, you can check them out at my Facebook account album. I warn you though, it’s not a pretty sight. HEHE.

I wasn’t able to take lots because it was too crowded and dark inside. We left the place after the announcement of the Top 10. There were celebrities and very infuential people present. I felt kinda iffy staying longer there.

Anyway highway, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the people who congratulated me and who were happy for me. Thanks also to Nez for lending me her camera and to Balot for letting me crash at her place because mine was too far away from Taguig. Thank you guys! Love lots! Mwah!♥

Here are the the gorgeous ladies who made it to top 10. You can start voting for them on Tuesday at meggurl.com. 

L-R: Bea, Madge, Margo, Christia, Monique, Maya, Deb, Phoebe, Yumi, Danna

I’m rooting for Christia Asistio and Yumi Arima as they were really nice to me. But based on yesternight’s event, I’m getting the feeling that Bea Lozano will win. Hmmmm..

All the best, girls!

Kendrick Go and Jerome Tan

Here are two other photos from two different young photographers I met during the fun shoot with Paolo Sy.

19-year-old lads Kendrick and Jerome are studying at Chiang Kai Shek College. They major in marketing management and business management respectively.
Styling, make-up, and modeling were done by yours truly. :)

Paolo Sy

After weeks of anticipation, finally, Paolo Sy and I collaborated for a sort of a fun shoot. To my delight, there were five other photographers who were there. I was so amazed of how young they are. All of them, including Paolo, are just college students who taught themselves and each other how to work the camera. I will post one by one some photos of me taken by each of them.

I teased my hair for this layout, but I dunno why after a few minutes, my hair became straight again. Ugh, that mousse by Kérastase does not work. :|

Anyhoo, Paolo Sy is a 23-year-old local-based photographer. His work has been published in numerous local magazines. He is also one of the photographers for the promotional materials of ABS-CBN's hit series, Kristine.
