When 2009 was coming to a close, I received an e-mail from a guy named Avid Liongoren. He had directed a film and was working on a reshoot of a film they had done years ago (long story, he said). Would I be willing to take on the project as the film’s makeup artist? The film was called “Saving Sally.”
Beauty junkies are perhaps the most difficult to give gifts to during Christmas, especially if you’re the type who thinks...
We get it if you’re not in the mood to shop. Christmas seems to have sneaked up on us and now, if you’re like us who have not even started a Christmas list, you can feel panic snaking up your spine like itchy tinsel on a plastic tree.

Nowadays, you’ll be hard pressed to find a non-fast food joint with meals under P200, especially in the Bonifacio Global City area, not to mention one you can Instagram (restaurateurs not only have to worry about menus and pricing, they must now also factor in whether their place and plating is social media post-worthy).
