Monterey Bay

On our way to Monterey Bay, we stopped by The Great Mall in Milpitas to do some quick shopping. It was our first time to actually shop at outlet stores during this trip so it took us longer than expected. Lol.

When we arrived, we found out that the Monterey Bay Aquarium was already closed. Since we were already there, we just walked around the city, snapped a few photos, and searched for a nice place to eat.

Hello from Baguio!

One of the reasons I love my job is that I get to travel! It was one of the few things I missed out on back in college, and I was absolutely overjoyed when I found out that my job includes traveling! Two weeks ago, we went to Baguio and stayed there for 4 days. We had breakfast at Cafe by the Ruins, a meeting at The Manor, dinner at Baguio Country Club, and even a late night snack at Choco-late de Batirol for our hot chocolate fix! I never expected work to be this fun, but I'm definitely not complaining!

Korea Day 2

On our second day, we took a ferry and spent the entire morning at Nami Island. Apparently they shot a very famous Korean show there! Well, no wonder: the whole island was a beautiful park teeming with cute animals and enchanting trees. I, being a lover of the great outdoors, relished every second in that island! (Seriously, I would really love to go camping in the mountains one of these days lol.)

We had grilled pork and chicken on the island (Korean food are just so delish!), then headed back to Seoul to do some shopping.

More tourist-y photos after the break!

Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2012 Outfit

Separated the photos for the Hot Air Balloon Fiesta because they're too many, I'm afraid it will take too long when loading a page. So here's the post on my outfit!

I made sure I'm wearing something comfortable for the day. I brought a scarf just in case it became chilly, giving enough warmth and coverage but occupying just an itsy bitsy space in my bag.  I anticipated that we'll be walking a lot so I wore combat boots! It was so dusty, I went there wearing black boots and came home in brownish vintage boots (you'll notice this if you look close enough), haha! It was a fun experience, partly because of the hot air balloons and the places we've been, but mostly because of my friends! :)

Afro Cool (HK Day 5)

Finally, the last set of photos from our Hongkong trip! (Whew!) It was a bit chilly in the morning when we shot the photos, so me, not being very tolerant to cold, wore this fur hat from Uniqlo! Around midmorning, I had to take it off because the weather became really hot.

Presents from Europe!

A few weeks ago, these came in for me from Ryan, who's currently in Europe. His family visited him there and he sent me these stuff.  So sweet, right? :) Oh, and some are pasalubong from his mom (Thanks Auntie!). 

I told him to send me postcards for every city he's been to. But he told me it's a bit expensive so he waited for his family to arrive there so they can take them home (haha). I can't believe Ryan will be back here in Manila a month from now! I'm sooooo excited!
