Snow Capped

mountain white :)

It was extra chilly today, we walked going to dinner 5 blocks away from the hotel and my face froze.

it happened in CEBU!

Just got back from my vacation in Rhea's hometown Cebu. We had fun & I personally would love to go back in the near future.

This is one of the vacations that I would forever remember :)

the destination - Kota Beach, Bantayan Is.

my baby who made this trip so far the worth remembering vacation of my entire life, muah!

Cebu B?

Bantayan Is., Cebu

I don’t care if it’s not a holiday next Friday or on Monday because declared by the gov't or not, I WILL BE ON HOLIDAY!

I am so looking forward to next week’s escapade, so glad that Rhei invited me to go to her hometown, Dines and other good friends will be coming as well plus Boyps. It will be my & W’s first plane ride together (OA as if hours ang flight, so what?). It’s my first time in Cebu and I am so excited with the beach! I can already hear the waves (or was it the humming sound of the air conditioner?). Whatever, I am all set (not packed though I am not that over & eagerly excited naman, I'm trying to control myself).

Please, please St. Clare, don’t let the sun shy away next weekend J

Hell Yeah!!!

I’ve been busy, happy, sad, happy again, stressed, happy, and crazy lately reason why I haven’t posted anything on this blog until today. I am writing this not to announce that I’m back but just to send out love and little recaps of what happened to me in the last 2 months.

After Marinduque, I’ve been to 2 more beaches (Puerto Galera and Bellarocca) with family and friends and one trip to Lucban Quezon to witness the Pahiyas Festival.

Here are some photos that I would like to share.

Bellarocca Resort & Spa

Bellarocca outing with family (Pa, Ma & Jude), friends (Martinez family, bestsy Luchie, Sophie, Chard, Dines & Rhei)

Still I’m breathing… I would like to say hi to those who still read my craziness. I’m still here lovies, just busy. Happy most of the time, stressed on the other half of those “most of the time”. But still I am blessed. I’ve been with a great family for so & so decades (hehehe secret), in the friendship of one beautiful bestfriend for nearly 2 decades. In the company of real good friends for years & years now, and in love for some 200ish days. Who could ask for more? Eherm, me? Still? Hehehe, Lord knows what my heart desires. Maybe because He thinks I can still handle things that is why I am still here.

I Heart Marinduque

Here are some of the pics... more pictures and stories to follow.

Monday Sickness

GO AWAY!

I really don’t have one today, I am in the mood to work and finish the day productively however the 4 days spent lazy-ing has taken its toll. Now all I want to do is eat and sleep or just cuddle with my cutesy pamangkins & the Boyps (hehe). Here are pictures (by my baby) of Caleruega, it’s one of the best places to spend your holy week.




Happy Monday boys & girls – say NO to Monday sicknesses. Peace Out!

Vacation Mode: Pressed ON

I am already on vacation mode, not that I am going away for the long weekend but because I already have the perfect activities in mind.

My nieces & nephews are all here already that is why 6 pm everyday is the most awaited hour. I cannot wait to go home and cuddle with them. Boyps will be arriving in 2 days as well, in time for the Visita Iglesia that I planned with Ma. Friday will be a prayerful day since it’ll be spent at home with family and a procession in the afternoon. Come Saturday it’ll be spent on the beach (I love the beach!!!) or perhaps just a relaxing day at the spa (still can’t decide, hopefully there’s a beach slot somewhere in Batangas for me and some friends).

Marco @ Bintan Lagoon Resort, Indonesia

I feel guilty thinking and day dreaming about vacations because I just arrived from one. I had a 6 days well spent vacation in SG with my best friend. I promised her that I’ll be with her on her bday and I was, I love the thought that we were both there for each other when we turned 3 oh. The vacation was even lovelier because best bud M stayed true to his promise, he planned a relaxing vacation at the beach. We had an overnight stay at Bintan Lagoon, Indonesia. It's now one of my fave beach, next to Panglao (my ultimate beach favourite) it now occupies the spot formerly held by Boracay.

After tomorrow, I am free. I hope you all enjoy your long weekends. Please remember the real reason why we all have Thursday and Friday off. Take care and God bless.

Cloudy Singapore

yes, I am blogging from cloudy Singapore.

Day 2 of my visit to my bestfriend who's having a big three oh celebration tomorrow. While she's at work and another friend Sophie hitting the zzz's soon I'll be left here roaming the cyberzone with Luchie's still hot from the store MacBook Pro.

SG as always is still the same old busy city, no difference at all from the SG I've been to 3 years ago. The only difference now is that the people seems to be more busier than before. I have never been to NY but I always imagine that it is an exaggerated version of SG.

So here I am tapping the keyboards of Chie's baby, battling the thought of going around Orchard Rd by myself. My first day here already made a big impact on my savings account. Armani was on sale, I couldn't find the courage to stop myself from purchasing a blouse. Cotton Co is also on sale, I loaded up on summer attires not just for myself but for my Jologs friend. And since Rhei is having her big three and 1 up day on Monday, I found her the perfect gift (Rhei if your reading this, yes I did found you a nice gift).

Spending the day indoors seems like a plan since we're going out tonight.

So boys and girls, wag po akong tularan... I am a shopaholic in the making... nahawa ata ako kay Luchie.

Before I say bye bye... let me give the bestest friend in the world the biggest hug, the biggest kiss and the biggest bday greeting. HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUCHIE!!! I love you sweetie! bestfriends for Life!

Boracay

I haven’t written anything that is essential to human existence in the last months (as if I do in all those months that I started this blog hehehe). Well I’m back and I’m here to post some of the Boracay pictures from last weekend. It was a crazy vacay and I am so glad I was able to spend it with family and dear friends.

Puka Beach

waves

palm trees (obvious naman eh)

Mama & Papa

sailboat, I used Luchie's cam in capturing this really nice view

more from Puka Beach

Luchie: Anne dali-dalian mo...
Anne: eto na nga di na magkanda kumahog kakadali...
Rhea: hay naku Tita anne ang tagal mo...
Dines: nakakinip kayo ah...
(I don't know what's the real story behind this pic, let's just say the dialogues above means something hehehe)

ofcourse, the travelling hand... di pwedeng mawala :D

at White Beach

at Alta Vista de Boracay's infinity pool

I really like it there in Boracay, I love the beach, the place (White Beach) being swamped with people which is the complete opposite of Puka Beach because it is so serene, something I liked about it a lot (we were so happy we went there but we also love people watching at the main beach stretch) and I really like our hotel, it was the best. But I am still in love with Panglao in Bohol. Speaking of Bohol, owners of Villa de Sol (the place we stayed at while on vacation in Bohol last year) asked me if they can use my photos on their site... nice :)
