Our Lady of Caysasay Shrine x Taal Basilica

These days, I try to keep myself busy to take my mind off the upcoming release of the bar results. But sometimes though, its not that easy because no matter how busy I get, it always come to a point in the day that it still crosses my mind.

One weekend, we went for a quick drive to the town of Taal in Batangas. I cannot believe that I haven't been here before considering that my mom is from Batangas and Taal is just an hour away from her hometown. I love the old Spanish- style feels of this town. It's nice that they were able to maintain and renovate the old buildings and structures as this town had been so much part of our country's history.

Goodbye Summer 2013

Summer is officially over and school starts today. This summer has been one of the best and most well- traveled summer I've ever had. I have been to a lot of places, some of them has a special place in my heart and what's more important is that I was able to spend it with people who matters the most to me. So I am leaving you with my favorite photos from last summer as I bid farewell to my favorite season.

Roadtrip Weekend

Hello loves. I'm back today for some weekend shenanigans. This weekend I got to do one of the things I love. Traveling. I am always thankful for every chance I get to travel and be somewhere else. And this is another reason why summer is my favorite time of the year.

Summer Love

Summer has always been my favorite time of the year. Now I'm re- thinking about that. NOT. I still love it despite people complaining about how hot it is. I just hate that B is 175.45kms away from me. Well, I have to give it to him, our summer break is the only time he gets to be with his family. While I... I have to stay here and take summer classes. It's his birthday last week and I thought why not take that 6- hour bus ride to San Carlos and be with him, right?:) Yes, of course I did that.

I SO WANT to be Here Right Now

January 2012

Hello there lovelies. It is scorching 33°C right now and I can tell that summer is here.  And there's no place I would rather be than the beach. But first, there's law school. Reality check. So before I go back to my books I am leaving you this very summery picture of me that was taken a year ago in my happy place. That's motivation for me right there. ;)

Have a lovely Monday and the rest of the week everyone. ;)

Tanned! ;)

Two posts in a day! Trying to catch up here and strike some more items off my to- do list. :) In case you haven't noticed, I have crossed out a few items from the list.

How can I let summer pass by without hitting the beach? No way. Not gonna happen! So before summer officially ended here in the Philippines I dragged my lazy self to that one place I will always love, the beach. ;) It was a weekday when we went there so it was not too crowded. Perfect timing!

Canyon Cove is a beach resort located in Nasugbu, Batangas. With just an hour drive from our place going there for a quick dip is always a good idea.

The Week That Was

My week in photos. ;)

After the rain..

Last Friday, I went to school to have my and B's clearance fixed. Had lunch with my cousin and introduced him to some of my friends. It was a very humid day (nothing new here) when it suddenly rained as we were eating. I took this shot on the way home after the skies have cleared up.

L-R: my turquoise earrings; sunset on the city; city lights; by the pool

Yesterday we headed north and spent the night at the SM Grass Residences. Ever since I bought the turquoise earrings from Baguio, I've been looking for an opportunity and a top to pair with it. Yesterday's scorching weather gave me the perfect excuse to wear my lace-y turquoise top to match my earrings. ;)

Sunsets never fail to amaze me. And I never knew sunsets in the city are as beautiful as those you see on the beaches.

I discovered something new last night: the beauty of city lights. ;) Being on the 30th floor of the condominium I was able to get a good view of the metro and I was engulfed by the sight below me. I just stood there for my minutes staring at the lights.

By morning, my mom and cousin decided to go for a dip. I passed on this one. I just basked under the sun and savored the rest of my weekend away! ;)

What have kept you busy this week?;)

Weekend in Baguio ♥

Every trip I make to Baguio is magical. The city never fails to amaze me and the experience is always one of the best. My cousin from the States is here for a vacation, so over the weekend, we decided to visit the City of Pines.

So as promised, here the pictures of my recent trip. ;)

Clear blue skies were replaced by dark heavy clouds on the way up the mountains.

Hello Baguio! ;)

Baguio traffic.

Botanical garden

You have to admire these women for the passion and patience they have.

We had taho on our first day. Perfect for the cold weather! ;)

At the Tam- awan Village.

They call this the Fertility Room. ;)

Of course we had to take a rest.

Baguio's lovely pine trees.#SaveBaguioPineTrees

My cousin trying on the isaw. ;)

 Hungry people patiently waiting for our turn at 50's Diner. ;)

Of course, when I'm in Baguio I wouldn't pass the chance to eat at this place. They serve the best ice cream milk shakes! ;)

Well, people, I am not a fan of strawberries. Hence, I was not with them on this trip. I was somewhere else, but I'll talk about that in another post. ;)

L-R: Me at the attic. Boy's room. See how messy it is?? Haha. Breakfast on our last day. The room in the attic.

Noooo! I don't wanna go just yet.

It was foggy going down.

We passed by  this on the road, somewhere around Tarlac I think. Good thing no one was hurt. 

That was one great weekend for me. I am surely missing Baguio and its cold weather right now and I will surely come back. Thank  you Baguio for the wonderful experiences you always give me.

And as B said the last time we were in Baguio:"It's not bye, it's see you soon."

So Baguio, I'll see you again. Soon. ;)

How was everybody's weekend? Let me know. ;)
