I Am Destined for Greatness

Louise Monique Ureta Soriano nikki/monek/municci Born on October 22, 1990 at around 10 something a.m. Doesn't have any permanent address but definitely enjoys her glamorously nomadic life. Studied make-up in London College of Make-up in Dubai. Graduated Communication Arts in the most awarded communication school in the Philippines (google it, people) Quite introverted. has lot of acquaintances (talk about over hundreds of strangers on all sorts of social networking sites) but only a handful knows the crimes she's done and how her mind and gut coordinates. Her ultimate purpose in life is to find her purpose in life. Hates cheap talks and things she couldn't control in the palm of her hands but loves to go with the flow anyway. the content of this site reflects her instincts and impulse at that very moment.

PWITTY GIRLS OF MNL FEZTIVAL

So, last June & July, I was back to in Manila because a.) it’s unbearably hot in Dubai b.) it’s that time of the year when I need to reconnect to my roots and get back to my motherland.

While I’m there, I also did some work (more like play, since doing make up & taking photos of the Pwitty Girls is so much fun!) Here it is, in collaboration with The Pwitty Girls, here are some fun, creative and…

Black & White with Paula Hair & Makeup: The Louise Monique Photography: Joem Aldea

It’s fascinating how the internet and social media connect people all over the world. In our case, social media became a tool to meet up and work with like-minded & creative people. Paula is London-based model and blogger traveling to Dubai for a week, she approached me for a collab shoot and I’d be making a mistake if I say no to that beauty.

For this shoot, I opted for a natural makeup that…

BURN

Hair & Make-up: The Louise Monique Photography: Studo by The Louise Monique

    Burn

See, anyone can start a fire, darling,

but how are you going to keep it alight?

What will you don when it dies down?

Just start another one and another and another?

Do you have enough tinder, dearest,

enough matches in your back pockets?

Will you stay and light a cigarette,

watch the embers glow as the sparks dance?

Let’s roast marshmallows and drink hot chocolate

in the open, under a…
