Of Travels and Family Pictures

I have been browsing through my external hard disk looking for an inspiration to write about in this blog. And then I saw this family picture of ours way back 2008 when we had a vacation in Bohol - our first time we rode a plane locally for family vacation that we are already complete. Yes, complete. The first time we really had a vacation locally was in Surigao, when I was going to High School but my brother, Carlo was not yet born.


I realized how lucky we are to have vacations locally and abroad. Thrifty but fun travels - that was our secret. The last time we rode a non-Filipino owned airplane (CX flight) was way back 2007 when it was Disneyland where everyone wants to go.


(I can't find a complete family picture)

Since then, we had several, but not too many- travels. I always say this to my younger batch two siblings - Carlo and Clarissa how lucky they are to travel young. I had mine when I was a little over 1 year old when we had to travel more than 6 hours to go to our province in Or. Mindoro. It was quite frequent, looking at my baby photo albums. But probably, the vacation I cannot forget was our travel Europe. Unfortunately, hindi pa uso ang digital camera - Keukenhoff- garden of tulips, old school windmills (the ones we see in Anchor commercials, not those in Ilocos Norte which I have yet to see) and of course, snow.



My brother was in third grade when we had a snow experience in Korea. 


I was sick in Hongkong (2009), I decided to treat my family to the Happiest Place on Earth!


Day tour in Corregidor

 

A new experience - hiking in Hongkong (2013) right after landing HKIA (well, after leaving our bags in YMCA Hotel lobby)

That was our last, I guess. But we still had more - I have yet to look for them. Singapore, Palawan, La Union, etc.

Lester and I just finished our application for marriage license. Yes, wedding is less than a hundred days to go. (License is valid 120 days after release). I'll miss these travels and family pictures. Yet probably, one thing's for sure, I'll have new faces - my husband and my future kids - in my future family pictures, or probably old faces and new faces travelling and smiling in one family picture.

How I Made It Thru My Laziness

I woke up one morning and thought, I want to shop! But I was too lazy to get up and dress myself to pass by malls before I go to work. And then, I remembered my good friend Zalora. I wasn't really a fan of buying things online (especially huge amounts) because I feel my credit card might get screwed and might end me owing something I did not purchase. Aside from that, I was also not really very confident that I might not get the right size or it's not the one I bought, or simply, I don't like it at all, pala! Until I knew of someone who has tried this online purchasing and so I tried it.  This is already my second time to buy in Zalora. Remember, after being curious of buying online., this time Zalora helped my PMS-ing issues. :)  Zalora has thousands of goods anything from clothes to shoes to accessories, branded or from the marketplace, for men and of course, for the ladies. My favorites come from Spring Fling and Something Borrowed. Affordable, classy and...

Me Blogging

Thank you for spending time to read my posts. Some of them may be non-sense to you, some may be relevant. I'm just happy expressing herself by sharing my thoughts. Writing started as a past time through diaries, essays for school and now for this blog. I do not intend to make blogging as a living (but if permitted, why not!)- I have a day (or mid-shift) job in a thousand employee organization.  I get inspirations from bloggers out there (can't call them co-bloggers!)- Patty, Alessa, Kelly and some others who express themselves through their blogs. I've written a few blogs even before facebook, twitter and instagram became really popular. But only now that I've decided to be more serious about blogging. Before finishing this entry, I did some research about blogging. Definitely, write ups will be original or sometimes, I may quote from someone. Some of the pictures may not be original but I will link you to where I got them. To the owner/s of pictures I may post in the f...

It's a Girl!

Finally after 30 weeks, Lester and I are happy to announce that we are having a baby GIRL! It took that long because we’re the kind of couple who’s obedient to the OB- have ultrasound when needed. Last time we checked, the OB did not confirm Little Javier’s gender though she told us that this little one is most likely a baby girl. Lester was still positive to have a baby boy- he still has 40-30% chance. But hey, it doesn’t matter- after all, we can still make another one :).  It must be the genes- my mom gave birth to 5 children- 4 of us are girls and our youngest is a boy (can you just imagine how Little C feels when he’s at home?). Lester was already dreaming of playing with his little one, teaching how to play PS, bike and all those boy stuff while I was already imagining cooking, baking and doing girly stuff with our little Javier- and I won! I remember when I was still on my first and second trimester, I was so into little things for girls that when I go to the mall’...
