Wanting to feel this kind of happiness, ASAP!! I've been MIA for a while now since life happened. You know, life... So anyway, I don't know if it's my hormones talking but I feel bad about how my life's going on lately. I feel stressed with simple things that should not bother me. I feel sad knowing that there are issues I cannot solve, and are getting worse than I expected. Every morning ...
September 2015: Inside Out
Just last month, Pixar released an awesome movie entitled Inside Out. At first I thought the movie would be the typical Pixar film that would melt our hearts, turn everything into life lessons, affect us in different ways, and eventually forget the story as if it didn't touch our lives; but it was more than that! Well, Pixar's Pixar! We'll never know what they're up to! And kudos to ...
August is considered as the "ghost month" because it is the seventh month in Chinese lunar calendar. Traditional Chinese folks believe that this month is unlucky especially in terms of traveling, on investments, and businesses. No wonder sales and promos of different establishments fall during this month! Although considered the ghost month, I don't believe August will bring lesser ...
Had a different Friday last week since I had a mini vacation in Taal Vista Hotel in Tagaytay! Thanks to my generous aunt and uncle, I tagged along with my Lola before she goes home to Batangas from her 3-week vacation/rest in Manila. So, yay!! It was my first time to stay in Taal Vista, and I just loved everything there! Besides the perfect bed weather in Tagaytay, this ...
It was my first time last year to do Christmas gifts shopping for my loved ones using my own hard-earned money. Since I'm already earning, I decided to give something symbolic to my relatives unlike before when I depend on my Mama in thinking of perfect Christmas gifts for everyone.. However, I didn't know that shopping for gifts can be really hard (but fun at the same time!). ...
I'm not a fan of Grab Taxi before. Besides its wifi requirement upon access, it has an additional booking fee of P70. But I cannot deny the fact that it's very accessible since there's free wifi almost everywhere, and the booking fee may guarantee a safer and less hassle trip! So whenever necessary, and ofc if there's available grab taxi nearby, I allow myself to spend more of what's ...
July 2015: F's of life - friendship and fitness!
July came by pretty quick! Didn't even notice that it's also gonna end soon.. I don't even have an idea if I've maximized this month really; everything I did seem like a routine.. I hope I can come up with a productive-looking life update! Hahaha. 1. July is Nutrition Month!!! Since I'm in a nutrition-related organization, we welcomed the month by launching the NM theme, "Timbang ...
Precious Stones
This may be a long-overdue post from my Ilocos trip last month, but I'll be posting it anyway. Hehe. I've only selected the highlights of my Vigan-Laoag-Pagudpud trip and obviously, one of which is when we dropped by Kapurpurawan Rock Formation. I'm still in awe whenever I remember its beauty. Located in the municipality of Burgos in Ilocos Norte, Kapurpurawan Rock Formation is known ...
Subscribing at Manila On Sale fired up the shopaholic in me! With its daily updates on which establishments or malls are on promo, I became not only updated with the discounts but also became a frequent mall visitor! Good thing I also have a Herculean-frugal-soul, or else I would be paying debts for life! Chos. So one of the updates this June was the mid-year sale of Fullybooked ...
I was having my very usual Monday mood-- feeling lazy and tired to start my week, but pushing myself to get motivated. Weird, right? So I insisted that my friends and I should meet that night to listen to each other's rants. We did, although I was a bit too early for our meet up, so I decided to kill time in Starbucks since I'm also craving for my favorite Cinnamon Danish. The barista ...
Sand Dunes Experience!
Having a spontaneous trip can be really challenging especially when you don't know where in particular you wanna go, and how you would get there! But all thanks to the internet, I have read various blogs saying that the Sand Dunes Paoay experience in Ilocos Norte is really a must! Two hours of travel from Vigan, I must say that it was all worth it! It is in the city of Laoag, Ilocos ...
