LCI Finals day...

whoaaaaa...time flies so fast. i can't believe makeup school's finally over.

we had our finals last Saturday. i was dead tired when i got home, but it was really fun. i wish i can do that all my life....

hahahaha

big thanks for all those who helped us on that day:

- my baby Meriecris (also known as DOTA girl) who assisted me and the rest of us

- Strawberry (Sophie's sister) for taking photos

- Phoebe who's a model-art director-MUA-photographer-friend all rolled into one and her darling Jayvee who took photos of us in action

- Randy, our very hardworking and not to mention great, photographer on that day (looking forward to working again with you soon!)

- the rest of our classmates who cheered and supported us and who gave me and Sophie the best memories to remember in our makeup class

- my models: the pretty Nana and her ate Tin who has been so sweet for looking out for us on that day...she made sure i won't skip lunch that she fed me while i was putting on makeup on my model, Angel (i am really thankful that despite your class schedule, you still made time for me and even went back to finish the shoot!), Macon, Brian and Joseph for patiently waiting and being such great models...you guys really crack me up! and last but not the least, to Jamie who came in so early but was the last one to leave as well. i know you were not feeling well that day, but still you made time for me and Sophie.

- and of course, to my darling X, who patiently waited for me to finish. i didn't expect him to come over since i was practically harassing him to at least drop by and cheer me on that day but he said No. i was disappointed actually but i understand that he's not into makeup (i'd kill him if he is!) and he hates waiting. but around 4pm, i saw him looking at the pictures on the classroom wall. he flashed me a smile and patiently (well, not really...he gives me a im-tired-lets-go-home look each time i'd look at him) waited for me to finish and even accompanied us to dinner at GB3. i really appreciate it, Mahal. I'm sorry if i bugged you for days to see me on my finals...i just want you to see how hard i work for my dream, which you helped me to achieve. thanks for always supporting me...love you lots!

- and my family, most especially my mom who i know was cheering for me on that day

- and to GOD, who made all of these things possible

and to you ladies out there, who wished us luck and gave us words of encouragement eversince we started with our classes...thank you for believing in us. (hugs all of you)
