Today, I felt like a human again after being gone for 2months... having mani/pedi, waxing, derma & a new haircut! I met up couple of people to give their pabili's from U.S. then went to see Irma Cano of Hair & Make Up Salon for my usual haircut fix! (I love her btw been my hairstylist for 4yrs!) called Bianca if she want to meet for some coffee talks that ended into a 7hrs. conversation till dinner time to little Tokyo. Food coma.

My new make up chair!!!

After long 3months... I arrived earlier than my new make up chair but it was worth the wait.
the shipment cost more than my chair! how fantastic!

My luggage's are left behind in transit...

My luggage's didn't make it to my connection flight in Beijing from New York. My flight from JFK was delayed for an hour because of air traffic & bad weather. 20mins. to spare barely making it to my transfer. Finally, touchdown Manila! low and behold as passengers slowly decreasing & baggage belt conveyor stop rotating my fear came to reality... my luggage's didn't make it. My entire kit/brushes & new purchases are in one god damn suitcase w/o padlocking it weighing 27kgs. fuck fuck fuck. It might arrive in Tuesday?!!!! great.

Got my NY fix.

I think I got my NY fix. ready to to come back. I need to work.
off to JFK in couple of hours. luggage's overweight as usual.

I ♥ NYC

Simply hating the weather. will be back in a few days in the Philippines. still raining. frantically running around the city getting my last minute junk for my kit. loving my workshop today with James Vincent. trying to absorb everything in one sitting. I'm all set. I learned so much on this trip. It's 2:35am and I just finished packing & repacking my1st luggage + my balikbayan box. been packing for 4days. how fantastic...so many things to post. so little time.

05.18.11 Gari of Sushi, Artichoke & James Vincent workshop

Finally, I was able to eat at Sushi of Gari. Verdict: pricy for a simple sushi but very good.

Western style toilets in Japan often feature options such as a heated ring, a built-in shower and dryer for your behind and an automatic lid opener. Both Western and Japanese style toilets usually have two flush modes: "small" (小) and "large" (大), differing in the amount of water used-- I love it!

Walked around the neighborhood where Sushi of Gari (Gari46) is located. Lots of interesting restaurant.

46th st. by 9th avenue is an interesting dining neighborhood.

And so after working my appetite grabbing Artichoke for my dinner before my workshop starts. Yes, Artichoke failed me once again. FAIL for the 2nd time. I wonder why people like it?! is it me?! LOL

I love my class with James Vincent. tackled on some skin issues that I've always wondered thoughts about.

Workshop with Mr. Jon H.

I was too early for my workshop.

Different kind of products to test and explore...

Got my Zuca bag finally! $240 sweet deal!

Had a chance to work on matured skin lady. perfecting lip lining technique.
