Instead of the usual write up that accompanies a memorable 18^th birthday celebration, Your Roving Eye is giving the celebrant a chance to express her gratitude to everyone who made her special day extraordinary. 

“ I would like to thank everyone who took part in the preparations for my debut and to everyone who came and celebrated with me on my special day. Thank you to Miss Epz Jamila Relampagos and her team for my hair and make-up, every look you did on me was great and it was aesthetic. Thank you to Bohol’s super talented & visionary designer EJ Relampagos for my beautiful gowns which made me look and feel more beautiful.
