Haul for the week! July 30

I recently went to robinsons galleria to pick up my bodyshop shea body butter which as of the moment i am utterly loving..

Gives out great scent mu hands dont get dry easily even though constant washing.

Bought a revlon colorstay foundation in sand, its a bit lighter for my shade and its more on the nude side, though matches my neck which was weird. Its very thick and easy dries up, though the face was already moisturize its not blendable. Ompared to my MAC studio fix in nc 30. Which i looked adorable in the pics.

Lastly the brow liner, which will be given as a present for my mom in law. Hope she likes it fingers cross!

Rainy wednesday

The weather is complementing me. Its crying for me.. Whenever i see raindrops on the windows it seemed to be the one crying for me.

I wish tears would simply fall down and go away but there would be always constant reminder on how it was. No matter how hard I try there would be things to prove otherwise.

Is this the price I must pay?

But self reflection us useless when the person at hand does not know the meaning of love.. Is this how he comprehends?

I hope and pray not..

I hope and pray it may not be.


After all.. I should have chosen to chase my own pavements...

Its the Dark knight and it finally Rised

Its the typical bad guy and good Guy scenes, villain vs super hero. But this time the super here is a man and his nifty gadgets that enhanced his skills. Armed with the latest devices he then saves Gotham City. The Villains no longer dwells in for cash but now deals with the stockmarket. A new form of money, wherein gold is not the center of trading, but who holds the major stocks.

I guess it was downright story telling withh a few gadgets, guns and actions with a twist of love story...

Ramen!!

Its days like these when you would like to have a bowl of hot ramen. There are hundreds of place where you could eat but this one, shinjuku, hits right on the tum tums satisfaction. I forgot what is the name of this soup but its pork with egg and alil bit of seafood.
Shinjuku is on the top of list as one of the best ramen house in town! Not too salty nor sweet but hits the right spots!

Shinjuku is located at Makati Ave, Makati city,

Sammy got a boboo

I parked sammy at our village, and suffered a classic case of hit and run. We only got the platenumber
but it hasn't comeback yet.

Irresponsible driver, it was very sad for me to experience that. Thinking sammy woukd be safe since i parked it very nicely. There will always be dumb drivers..

Sunrise and Sunset GGB!

It's 9 th year anniversary of our group BOONDOCKERS. Its my first year to ever shoot a sunset, since I always opt for a night trek, and my first sunrise since I was able to wake up.

Sunrise at about 6am 

       sunset at 5:30 pm 

group shot!

Gulugod Baboy is located at Anilao, Batangas. Jump off is located at the PhilPan resort. Its an hour to 2 hour climb best climbed in the afternoon, around 4 pm enough to have a glimpse of sunset. It has a 360 view, you can see from there Batulao and Makiling. Along the trail a number of Houses emerge selling cold drinks, and Halo Halo. You can have a cold refreshment which was not available years back.

Looking back, we always have different faces every year, some remained, some left others stayed. 

From a small one we grew, friendship and camaraderie. And kept climbing thru the years.

Glad to have met, crazy people like me!

FIN!

Skin Guard! ARMADA!

Summer is just around the corner with a few blinks, sun's up and skin exposed!

So one of a girls must have, and my all time favorite is VMV's ARMADA!

bought this one at rockwell, when I was there to meet Akyatera bundokera!

Why I like this one? 

NO Sunburn

Yes, I do have a tan, a typical phenomenon when we are exposed in the sun. But I have a different take on it, when I experience a sun burn its more of like a burning sensation, neither can i touch it or I can sleep soundly. My mom used to put aloe vera on my skin to sooth it out. No matter what brand nor constant application I do, I still have one.

But with Armada, I simply have a TAN, nothing more nothing less. 

WIth its design for sport and a spectrum for uVA and UVB rays, an SPF of 70, what could go wrong!

So for those who have active lifestyle! 

THIS IS A MUST!

In hitting the outdoors, one must bring their camera, I bring NANA, my D90 Nikon. She has been with me 2009. I bring her where ever I go, especially when I travel.

So I include her in my kits, so to keep her clean and hand print free, I bring her essentials. 

A brush pen with lens cleaner and blower, to remove dust and other particles, especially when you are in the beach!

Fin!

Sagada! Planning and Executing!

I am on the planning stage of my trip to Sagada of the Cordillera region. It is my second time to visit the place, and yet still I am very excited.

I am the one handling for my group regarding the said event.

What I like in Sagada...

1. Friendly smiles and faces of the people, who are very willing to help and answer your questions.

2. The locals who are giving their best  to give you the best possible experience!

3. The food, which is Absolutely Fantastic! They have their own take of what comfort food should taste and look like!

4. The BEST VIEW! nothing could beat the city lights of manila for that!


So, Sagada here I come!

Manic Mondays! (my Take!)

Monday, the no fun day! wherein we go back to reality of piled up paper works and clients,  I belong to the health care industry, thus, erratic hours, piled up results, and machine run downs.

Its a free monday for me! No long lines of Patients! No Manic monday!

But still, there are errands that must be done! so to compensate for the days I go to work, on a free day I do the errands. So I made a list in the morning before I go out to make sure I do everything and remember what it needs to be done. 

1. Car wash for sammy

2. update land payments

3. bring sammy to the body works, have the panel checked for the quotation of the panel repaint.

4. payments for the apartment

5. grocery

I was able todo everything, but then I suffered sore back due to driving back and forth  from Taguig to Quezon City,Makati then back to Taguig.. ( I should get one of those cooling gels for the back!)

To cap everything i picked Y! at her residence, and ate at a persian resto in Metro walk. We both agreed that to our palates, Mister Kebab at West Ave is still the BEST! 

Then I lost my voice! ughhh.... The on going battle with on and off sore throat, my ENT doctor, already advice to have a tosnilectomy procedure done when the swelling stops. 

We went to the  The Pleasure place at Metro walk. The store was conveniently place at a very nice spot quiet, nice area to shop. They have tons of stuff that you could choose from and they cater to your every need, when it comes in the art of taking and giving pleasure. They were very nice and welcoming to their customers, especially when they are a bit shy!

The ones that caught my eye were underwear which was all Victoria Secret  with lace and ribbon trimmings, bustier and corset! Wanting to have one of those, its like 18th century women, the height of fashion and glamour, tight fitting over flowing gowns with a nice laced corset underneath. Oh well!

The night wasn't finished just as YET!

Pop the Bottle in the ICe!!! At The Distillery Fort Bonifacio.

Asti by the Martini and Rossi! 

it went down with a POP!!!

While drinking! a rundown with life and girltalk!

FUN FUN FUN!! (sleep zzzzzzz.... )

FIN!

Pretty Rachelle!

My friend Rachelle and I were hanging out at my place, after attending  the baptismal of our friends baby. She agreed to my very persuasive argument  of letting me put make up on her since she was going out that night, and looking plain and simple made her give in. Its a chance for me to have a face as my canvass. She was very kind to post a smile for me as I took a shot with NANA.

All smiles rachelle!!

So, we had her face washed and I put some moisturizing mist from NU skin to condition her skin.

2011! Back Track

January, Hopeful month!

First day of the year, was spent at the office, with a GY shift! Still suffering from sore muscles, after a 3 day adventure in Mt. Tabayoc, Benguet Province. 

All hopes for the year a head... 

February, mangoes and churches!

Iloilo, with friend and fellow traveller and mountaineer, a tour around the city and the GUIMARAS Island.  Visited two sites in one day, how amazing that every corner of the town has a church. Highlights, visited trappist, where the male monks reside.

March

anticipated coming of Ex. 

April, a bliss in summer...

Ex is finally here! after 6 months of waiting! Busy.. busy...

Puerto Gallera.. 

Subic, a long weekend that was spend with food, booze and sunset. Highlights!, We were lost in the middle of the night at Olongapo circling for more than an hour, looking for a place, since all hotel rooms where fully booked! Zoobic night safari, which was a pretty scary drive. I promised I shall not do it again, in subic. 

Ex and I’s first climb with the Boondockers! Yikes! A good friend of mine got engaged at Mt. Daguldol! Happy for you my dear friend!

Oh my! dreary May!

The dreaded May, there was not a day that didn’t go by that I felt nervous, agitated and more confused every single day!

June The sentenced.

This month was a huge step for me, a world different from my own. I was now part of Ex as he is of me. I never thought in my wildest dream that I would be. I always thought I would be a care free lad, and be part of the singledom. Yet, I found my Mr. BIG, no complications no nothing. Simply Us. Truly I am inlove.

July, A month apart. 

A lot harder, than I thought. The whirl wind is now gone, and reality has came back. I am now alone, but officially I have a ring on my finger.

 August, take it or leave it!

A true test to my mountaineering adventures. Been climbing for half a decade, but not as frequent as it used to be. Mt. Isarog has tested my limits, I have never anticipated such weather nor the scary sound of the wind, it was dry and humid at the ground, but wet and heavy rain pours down on the mountain, as they It has its own weather. Each sway of the leaves an anticipation of creepy crawling leech might catch a parcel of your skin, and suck the blood out. 

Wake Boarding at Cam Sur was part of our itinerary, sadly, I was tortured by my knees and aching muscles but that didn’t stop me the try. Tried three times and couldn’t even finish! Went down the third time, all upper body sore!

  September, Wet me up!

Boracay!!! I was so excited!  I had heard and read all those raves on how they spent their boracay vacation, though to me it looked like one of those vacations I took.  The scenic views and the wonderful beach were spectacular. Yet, since it became a popular destination, the place looked very chaotic There were too many shops, to many vendors haggling as you walk, and its a lil’ bit scary when your all alone eating in a cafe. 

Best ever! I get to scuba, all by myself! Swim with the fish, sit on the sand while the DM a few meters away from me. I was neither assisted nor he held s as I swam. It was one of the best experience I had. I was able to control my breathing, as they say, relaxed mind, relaxed breathing! Looking forward for my next scuba experience! Bravo! Bravo! I finally conquered one of my fears!

October! Aged!

I feel old, yet I spent it with a BLISS!!

November, Cold and WET!

Mt. Pulag, 2nd time same trail, shouldn’t I be taking the Akiki-Amba trail? I thought I am going to take Wonderful Pictures! So I brought all my Camera gear! It was a terrible climb, cold and the weather steps at 10 degrees celcius it was a brr.....  No nice pictures were taken! geeze!

December, Cheers to all the FREAKY PARTIES!!!

It was a Cheers toe all those Freaky Parties! Drinking all night long! one wat to end the year! With a Blast!!!
