ALL DOGGIES GO TO HEAVEN: I'll Miss You Arabella

Earlier this year, Jimmy my 6-year old dapple dachshund died suddenly. It was totally heartbreaking as I never saw it coming. He was perfectly fine and we just found him dead in his bed.

Earlier today, Arabella, my 6-year old bassethound also died due to pneumonia which she was battling for over 2 weeks now.  I know she was sick and all but I never really expected this since the vet told us yesterday that she was getting better. But oh well, I guess she never really recovered especially with the storm we had over the weekend.

I can still remember the first time I laid my eyes on Arabella at the breeder's house. I was out to look for Jimmy's playmate and found the breeder's name on a pet forum. There wer 3 bassethound pups available but it was really Ara that caught my eye. I was only supposed to take a look at the pups and check out other breeders after but I just had to bring home Arabella with me right that instant.

I know I'm really gonna miss her as she's the gentlest dog I've ever had. I'll miss having her on my lap as she wraps her front legs on my shoulders and rests her head on mine.The tone of her bark also seems like "music" to my ears compared to the yappy bark of my other small breed dogs.

My dear Arabella, I know you're now in doggie heaven running around with your pal Jimmy, Choco and Sexy. You'll forever be missed.

Angelina Jolie for Louis Vuitton

Surprised to see Angelina Jolie posing for Louis Vuitton, and she's not at all glammed up.

According to reports, Angelina posed in Cambodia wearing her own clothes and own 6-yr olf LV "Alto" bag and with no make-up... yes, they said "with no make-up". Hmmm, so I guess she's got natural smoky eyes? hehe

Anyway, this ad is part of Louis Vuitton's "Core Values" campaign. "People are not used to seeing Angelina in this situation," executive VP of Louis Vuitton, Peter Beccari says. "I like the fact that it's a real moment. This travel message we give through personal journeys is a fundamental one for the brand." He adds: "This campaign is about a very special person and a very special journey."

There's one problem with the ad though, the "Alto" bag has already been discontinued and is no longer available in stores. Ooops.

Quick Eyebrow Make-Over

If there's one thing our make-up teacher passed on to us, it would be our tendency to create structured eyebrows...Since I finished make-up school, fixing people's eyebrows has been a joy to me...hehe. I even do it for free!

Anyway, below's a sample of before & after eyebrow make-over I've done recently for an office mate of mine...

Little Guys Can Pack a Punch!

I'm totally loving this HP ad with no other than our country's pride, Manny Pacquiao...
