The Scarf to Remember

This is one of the few days when I only have myself to blame for being a lazy, self defined woman or lady. We just got home from a long, all day gala and yes, the last thing I want to do is work. I am actually at least doing myself a favor.

After going back to work last Wednesday and yes, stressing myself by going back to one client to another, I am giving myself a break from all these stuffs. i am actually doing one of my newly acquired passion- blogging!I didn't know blooging can actually be addicting like this. Well, after I got back this laptop, nothing can stop me from sharing what I want, regardless if people would read it or not.

I am planning to do stuffs and well, would want to share the trips and gigs I went off last weekend but I would want to share my new, starting off obsession on scarfs. You see, I saw this scarf in a ONE PRICE store two weeks ago and I had really disturbing dreams lately that I am actually wearing this and when I wake up, I dont see it anywhere.

Seems weird for others but blame it to my another new obsession on the Glamourai who kept on inspiring my new looks and fashion sense lately. Not that I am really keeping her tracked but hey, we almost share the same passion of blogging (I didnt actually copied her but also her vintage way of dressing.

I even think that she overtook Karla's Closet on my favorite fashion warrior though I still follow Karla some time.

Going back to my obseesion on the scarf, i begged my boyfriend to go with me as I give answer on new love-yes its the scarf on my head dreams. And yes, fortunately, there it is, still waiting for me. It really was not the so lovely-costly thing. But when I really want something so bad, I would *die* to have it.

Well, after meeting my mom to hand her my borrowed for her laptop, we went off to that store, and had my gorgeous scarf, banded it to my head, and went off to Frederick Alba, one of those top caliber fashion stylists and couturier who magically transformed my sister's enoturage into a bliss.

I had my first fitting and actually loose, according to those at his shop (can't believe it actually)..And drove from Timog, QC to Greenhills Shopping center, San Juan..

We bought some stuffs that James need before flying to Vegas this coming Thursday. It may be a tiring, well spent Saturday and looking forward for yet another day tomorrow!

Good day!

the scarf I was talking about!

A trip to Lingayen,a yes to a love

When Prince Charming knew that a sleeping beauty is hundred miles away from his castle,he didnt think twice and find his way to personally see the princess.Then and there,the lived happily ever after.

In modern day time,a prince charming drove down kilometers away from the city because the one he loves decided to have her birthday up in the north.So armed with love and sprinkle of motivation from friends,off he went to Lingayen-with friends-including me.Too much for love,that was my first time in Lingayen and I must admit,i almost didnt believe we were actually taking the right path as my butt hurts so much from sitting long.

It was joan,my college friend's birthday and she opted to celebrate it on their hometown.But I would not have attended it,honestly,if not for Prince Charming aka James pondering.

But on a second thought,it was actually one of the best places I have been.Rich culture,bold history,and yummy foods!

Me and Thai.

POKER MASTER. The poker has it all

Me and Joan. taking time knowing Lingayen's history

Im not so inlove with sea water actually but i did try anyway

We fell inlove with the sea. Jr and Me

Waves and all. Wil, Bon, and Me trying the waves of South China Sea

Almost going home.Ice cream break before heading fast back to the city

the open blue sea of Pangasinan. Its Wil and Jr loving the sea water

indeed,butt ache is worth it.I am a chipleader at Poker,braved open sea waters,and drank too much tequilla,and yes,the prince charming won his princess' heart.

Happy Ending after all...


Happy Ending, that is.. (James Paman and Joan Ison)



Hotel Celeste:The feel of royal experienceq

I have been to quite a few hotels and resorts in the country,checked on their rooms and had a feel of what they have to offer.Amongst hotels in Makati area,I can really rate Hotel Celeste as one of the few who showed me an intricate yet very classy designs.Entering the hotel's lobby is like feasting your eyes with grandeous interior designs.The monarched inspired couches,the touch of water flowing on their fountained walls,each of the flambouyantly styled interior structure,everything is a regal art.

But wait till you take a glimpse of their room's interior.Everything is properly aligned.No two rooms are alike on designs,each of the rooms carry a persona that defines it from the others.

As one of the guests exclaimed,I can very well live on their bathrooms.That says much of how majestic each room structure is.Given another chance,I will take another feel of Hotel Celeste.

When friends opt for a Laguna trip

It was one of those laid back afternoons when I got a GM from one of my elementary friends,we are going to Laguna,go pack up and we shall pick you up in a few minutes.Its not like we have not been noted but it had been a go-no,go-no trip for us and we always ended up not pushing through a summer get together.

We,me and my boyfriend,waited a slouchy two and a half hour on their billiard house before a white crosswind picked us up,at last,they are here.

I am counting us,seventeen of us.I cannot even remember the name of the resort,all I know was that it was facing a bar (and i mean bars where guys can take home girls).As expected,we always prefer a private resort for our getaways.

Food was literally flooding during our overnight stay.Fishes,hotdogs,sopas,and liempo.Even drinks came easy.We feasted on mojitos,beer,brandy and colas.

But beyond that is the thought that it was indeed one of the best get togethers we had for years.we literally jumped in the waters,had more than enough photos for souvenirs and left laguna,maybe tired but with big smiles on our faces.

That was indeed fun!

Its nice to be back at Altina, Batangas

TWO WEEKS IN A ROW!

There should be at least two good reasons why friends gather that so frequently. We have been friends since our elementary years so its no doubt that taking time to gather is harder than those previous years. As one of our friends noted, ONE HAS TO LEAVE SO WE CAN HAVE AT LEAST A GOOD REASON TO GATHER. 

TAKING THE NOT SO CLASSIC SHADES SHOT:(L to R:) JSon,Renz,Con, She, Nicole (one of the celebrants), Jo, Me, and Biz

It is JL, one of our barkadas birthday and NICOLE, also one of our friends DESPEDIDA, so we had a good reason to catch up and at least go for a long ride to celebrate.

SOME THINGS ARE MEANT TO LAST:
 (L to R) JL (on red shades, bday celeb), She, Jo, JR,Me, Nix, & Renz

We have been to ALTINA Beach Resort more than twice. It has been one of our most frequently visited beach house in the South for two reasons: A. Its a private place B. JL's family is a member. ALTINA, is co owned by UST group of doctors and JL's mom being one, we always have a good reason to choose this place regardless of the long drive we have to go through.

So, we had an overnight stay in BATANGAS.

We arrived at 6 in the evening, had a quick merienda of Spaghetti, Poker Session, and a bountiful taste of Mojitos and Emperador Light for chilling out. A hanged over morning, few drinking sessions again, and we left Batangas with a smile and a memory to take with us. 

Trapped on FREEDOM

I started quitting temporarily on my job more than a month ago. Trying my luck to work on other companies for more than enough times. And this morning I got a call from my previous employer asking me to go back and even giving me the conditions I have been inching to have for years. 

I just want to work like a normal office girl but I think I am not bound for the same direction. I am actually inching a different direction now. I have a quota to work on, another part time job to work on, and a success story to tell in the future (oh so I guess)

I am staying here in Makati, home bound for more than a month now, and frankly I never thought freedom like this can be so boring. I haven't stopped working after college though. I jumped in from one job to another, without a break and so I really needed a time like this so when I get back to work, I would not crave for anything but busy days at work. 

I am planning to get back to work this November, just in time for my birthday and future celebrations. 

Ortigas, I will be back in a few weeks. so see you soon,
