Happy happy birthday Tita!

 Happy happy birthday to you my dearest tita! Thank you so much for taking me to the movies, for taking me to places and for always being there for me. :) May you always remember that your family loves you and that it is as equally heart-warming and important as being loved by a lover hehe. May you realize the purpose of going through problems and see the bigger picture of what's ahead of you. Never forget that we are always with you and we will always be :) We are all so proud of you and we love you so so much.

Thank you for taking me to Legoland, you are like a lego that without you the family can never be complete. Thank you for taking me to Universal Studios, keep your fun and adventurous side because it makes you younger hehe. Thank you for taking me to the S.E.A. Aquarium, no matter what happens, just keep swimming :D Thank you for taking me shopping, always be a cheerful giver but never forget to treat yourself as well from time to time. Thank you for taking me to the movies, as a movie ends and people leave, don't worry, there will always be the next movie and who knows, it might be better than the previous or maybe the best you'll ever see. :)

Smiling can do so much more, it may be a simple curving of the lips but it can affect your mood greatly. Think of your family, the people who love you, the places you've seen, your accomplishments, the lessons you've learned and just think of yourself-- You are blessed and a blessing to others :) Whenever you feel lonely, just pray because that's a very powerful thing. :)

The good thing about endings is that you can start a beautiful beginning... with Him

I love you so much Tita Gak, so so much! You are beautiful :) Happy birthday! <3 p="">

Touchdown(ed) Singapore

Last last Thursday night, my lola and I flew to Singapore to visit my aunt and of course have fun hehe. The plane ride was really quick, it was just like getting caught in traffic on your way to Quezon City from Manila. I've had the pleasure of sitting by the window pane, so basically I spent more time observing the night sky and falling in love with the city lights than sleeping.

After 3 and a half hours, I found myself in Changi airport and it was really impressive, also there were really cool, I mean sossy shops inside. Two hours have passed since we landed and we haven't seen Tita Gak, my lola was getting really really hungry and I was getting really sleepy. Out of boredom, I started to roam around the waiting area and I quickly headed to the payphones as soon as I saw it. I called my tita and thank God she answered!! She didn't know we'd arrive that day, she thought it would be on Saturday so really thank God! She then arrived after a few minutes and we were just so relieved.

The next morning, we woke up around 10 and prepared for the city tour. There's no such thing as 'far' when you're in  another country, especially when you're in Singapore. Every single place is connected by the mrt and you really can see the whole Singapore by riding it. I have experienced jetlag so much though, the place was very much different from Philippines. They do 'Keep Left' instead of 'Keep Right', their cars are right-hand drive, you stay on the left side of the escalator when you're not in a rush so others can go running on the right side and the thing I liked best is time passes so fast because you have so much to do, so much to explore. I don't know if it's just me but I'm highly motivated by Singapore's environment, I could exercise or jog without thinking I badly need it.

A door before the mrt, talk about safety

Very pretty tractor(?)

We got off the City Hall station and after a few walks, a mall connected to the station surprised me, no need to worry about heat haha. Outside the mall was the postcard-worthy Esplanade, the Durian-shaped theater.

Just across the bridge, you'll see the ever famous Merlion, also at the east of the bridge are towering buildings and the first ever hotel in Singapore, The Fullerton Hotel. It's a five-star luxury hotel where most celebrities stay when in the country

Me and Tita Gak posing nyahaha

The ice cream you must try when in Singapore, durian ice cream!! I've never liked durian but this one was tolerable for me so I guess it tastes like heaven for a normal nababahuan-sa-durian-pero-sobrang-nasarapan person

We had lunch in Thai Express after I took pictures of the postcard-worthy structures in SG. Their milk tea was different, I would say it's one of the best I had, it tastes so real, you know what I mean hehe. The pad thai made me fall in love though, it's the highlight of my entire meals in Singapore, I wish we had that in Philippines too. On the other hand, I cried because of this chili-filled ground pork meal. I thought I was so hardcore eating the chilis in Bicol Express but no huhu. Lastly, the crispy crab is a must-try, it was the first time I enjoyed eating crabs cos you eat the shell too, not hassle diba!!

Heart-breaker

Ze crispy crab!

We continued the city tour right after lunch and it was a series of long walks again haha. The view is a reward itself so you don't really feel like stopping, I mean your feet will hurt but you won't quit because everything is just sublime naks. We passed by the floating stadium, f1 race track, and the neaaaatttt helix bridge on our way to The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands.

THE BANKS with a ferry haha

~Photojourn~ the colorful seats by the floating platform

Hehe so sweet, Science Museum at the background

Happiness everywhere

Goofing around with tita haha

Batman overdosed on eggplant

LV YOU PEOPLE

Yes LV din haha

The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands looks so much like an indoor Bonifacio High Street, just replace the stores with high-end brands

Tita pointing her dear office, DBS

Chanel lego-inspired bag aaahhh!! I squealed when I saw this, it's too perfect for my life!! Also, Miroslava Duma has the green one, such a good choice huhu

Wouldn't it be a nice thing to have boats inside your mall?

Hi mommy hehe

After moments of realizing that The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands is not my kind of mall (huhu), we headed to Orchard!! The shopping capital of Singapore!!!!!!!!!!! I would compare this to Ayala, just make it bongga-er and change the buildings into high-end brands whose total stuffs on sale are probably the same price as the building in Makati haha joke. Prada on your right, LV on your left; Miu Miu on your right, Tory Burch on your left; Burberry on your right, Chanel on your left. Not the exact places but yeah :p Abercrombie may not be as high-end as Chanel but I bet tons of people are dying to get inside because of the topless salesmen HAHHAA

HUHU HAHA

Lola with her terno sa damit dragon fruit shake haha

~candid~

H&M woop!! Their clothes were 'rare' and it was all so modern yet it had a touch of classiness. I don't know if it's just because of the current collection or what but I still choose Zara over it. The prices were very reasonable though so I think if we had that in Philippines, I'd buy a lot of clothes there.

Aaaaaahhhh I look so tall!!!!

My first day in Singapore was definitely something, it made me realize the importance of being efficient and making things easier as much as you can. Having a healthy environment and following rules is vital in producing a successful nation. 

I am so thankful of Tita Gak for having me visit her and for WOW-ing us from the first day up to the last, I definitely felt the love :)

Holla, I'm back!!! A lot has happened for the past months and I'm happy they did. My life is smooth and fun fun fun as of now and I'm certain it'll stay the same for the coming weeks.

I wore this outfit in honor of my brother's basketball match against Letran in Holy Trinity school. The game was very cute, it was full of whoops and awws and cheering, since little kiddos were the ones in the court. What's funny is that they were really aggressive, they never let the ball out of their hands and if it does, they really chase it up to the point that they lie on the floor haha. In the end, PCS lost but it was a friendly game so I guess no one felt sad, except the kids haha. The next game was CSA (hs) vs HTA and madaming gwapo hahahaha, we didn't watch the game tho :| HAHA

Top: H&M

RSVP

WARNING: This post is about to get really hippie 

This fringe top has got to be one of the most scene-stealer pieces I've had. I got myself stuck in door knobs, car doors and chairs and it was quite embarrassing haha but fashion is all about taking risks.

The service was really moving today, it was entitled RSVP and it's an acronym for a French phrase meaning "respond". Sometimes God call us to do something totally insane, physically impossible and morally scandalous like what happened to Mary but in the end you'll see that 'aahhh so that's what it means'.

In accordance to responding right, Filipinos just got heart-broken due to Pacquiao being knocked out in his fight with Marquez. Social websites displayed opinions of people of different kinds, most were sad about his loss and continued to consider the honor Pacquiao gave to Philippines, some declared about their hunch Marquez winning, some blamed religion but all I can say is, that is the nature of the game, the nature of life, you lose from time to time and we are bound to get back up and do better. After all, it is not what happens to you, it's what you do after.

Lastly, RIP John Lennon huhu. Thank you for bringing some sense and color to this world. You will forever be remembered!
