Irene Verdida - Make up Artist

ABBEY: Wilma is looking for hair and make-up package for the wedding since last year. I think she has asked several artists for their quotations. She chose Ms. Irene Verdida. Asking for her wedding package the second time, she told us that she will retain the prices of 2010 since we inquired during that year.

She and her staff were very early for the call time and started their work as soon as they arrived. The products are great as well as the services. The make-up last the entire wedding or should I say hours after we tied the knot. Thanks Ms. Irene. You made my wife more beautiful.



WILL: I search and search, ask for their wedding packages, then I choose whoever my heart feels to be my make-up artist. So we chose Ms. Irene Verdida. Her wedding package was not the cheapest but when I talked to her over the phone, I felt the sincerity in her work. I haggled on her package but she told me that she increased prices for 2011 but since she saw my inquiry last year pa, she gave me the 2010 deals and it worth us Php11,000++ for Airbrush Make-up (bride) plus four traditional make-ups. 

What unusual to this dealings, we never saw each other before our big day. Just email, sms messages and phone calls lng tlga. I don't even hesitate to send our down payment sa account nya, as if na isa sya sa mga nababasa ko na bogus suppliers in the net. 

Very accommodating, nasa hotel na sya pero kami, still on our slumber. Ang usapan 530AM pero I think mas maaga pa sya dun. Ha! 

She uses MAC products, the product I only trusted for make-ups. Why? Di talaga sya natutunaw, sus sa dami na naman na events na pinag-abayan and napunthan ko. I usually asked for MAC tlga!

Well recommended. Four thumbs up (kasama thumbs ni Abbey).

Singapore Arts Festival 2011



ABBEY: 
Another festival to celebrate here at SG. They encourage visitors by providing a ride in a FunVee bus. Once we stepped in we made our way up to the upper deck. That was our first time to ride in an open top bus. From Suntec City, it fetched people also in Marina Bay Sands, then went through the Festival Village. Temporary halls were installed for the exhibitors to showcase their arts. We headed to the food junction as we're hungry. We tried their chicken shawarma and german sausage all for 11sgd. What a great bite :) We roved around and see the exhibits. Lastly, we redeemed our freebies as prize to the first 2000 who joined the festival.





WILL: When I am on my way to Suntec para manundo ng asawa, I heard a group of people singing at esplanade exchange. 
Actually i don't understand their songs but I am happy to see them singing, a relieved after a stressful week of work.
They hand me a brochure and its a Singapore arts festival. :)
So I asked Abbey if we can get there on Sunday afternoon. And yes we went there, 15th of May.
      From Suntec Bus stop, we found their free shuttle to the festival village. Hopped out, we hurriedly go for the food stalls, ordered Singapore's famous chicken shawarma and sausage. Food around the festival village costs from $5-$10.
Goodie Bag for early birds :). We have the bag just answering some trivia questions.
      The arts festival stretches up to esplanade, so we were there to see some musicians.This event is up to June 5, hoping to have time to come back.

ABBEY: 
We were excited to this occasion, the Facebook Party. Only few people are selected to see and taste the newest dishes offered on the red hat. Their staff sent mail and guests should reply as confirmation. They also called us on the actual to double confirm. A fee of 8SGD for all the guests but I'm telling you that its more than 8sgd of what we got on the party. Sets of appetizers; fries, chicken drumlets, bread. A choice of main course between rice and pasta with seafood or chicken as core ingredients. Choco-berry banana in thin crust as dessert, and free flow of drinks. Prizes were also given away after each game. What we got that money can't buy is the new friendship among our table mates :) Proof of that is when we won the first game. Go table 1. Thanks Pizza Hut.

WILL: Pizza Hut Facebook Fan Party!!!
We were the lucky few to get in to this event. Ever since, back from Philippines, I am huge fan of this restaurant! I just love their pizza! 
Okay, we won the group game. We managed to put up 48 words within the letters of ANNIVERSARY. :) Then we get the big red bag for a prize. 
After that we got to taste their new menu. Abbey ordered seafood fiesta baked rice, paella look a like. What really really really love the cheesy mussels. The party costs $8.00, not bad ha, for free flow of drinks and 3 course meal :)
