Today until Sunday I will be co-hosting a Bloglovin’ Link Party. I am so glad to be part of this La-La Link Party. It is so nice to discover new friends at the blogosphere and to be able to build friendship until years to come. I am so thankful for Jessika for considering me to co-host a link party for the month of April and I hope as time passes by I can still continue to co-host. Hehehe This is one of my first. Well, actually my second La-la Link Party the first one would be the Pinterest // La-la Link Party.

I would recommend every blogger to join here because according to rumors that Google Reader would be until July only. It might lessen your traffic or you might lose the link of your favorite blogs so time to export everything to Bloglovin’, Nuffnang X or NetworkedBlogs but as of now. Link up to meet new friends and explore the life of other bloggers. Tell your friends to link up too and let’s visit each other. This month's hosts and co-hosts are:

This week's link party ends on Sunday, April 7 and we will be linking up our Bloglovin' account.

The rules are simple:

1. Follow your lovely hosts + co-hosts via Bloglovin' (that's the point right?)
2. Only enter your Bloglovin' link.
3. Visit some other blogger's links and share the Bloglovin' love.

How was your long vacation? I am excited to post about my family bonding experience at Tagaytay. Wait for it. As of now, I will proceed regarding my #OOTD (Outfit of the Day). I am so happy that I have been continuously posting OOTD for the past few weeks already. As in I am doing my best to mix and match my clothes to come up with an outfit plus a new look. 

Today, stripes can make you look slimmer plus the cut of my blouse surely made a justice to my body or maybe a cheat to make me look I have a waist. Hehe I am wearing again a pair leggings. I am surely in love with leggings. I have a lot of leggings I think I have five (5) black leggings. Am I insane to own same color of leggings? hahaha

It’s been a tradition to our family to have a Visita Iglesia during the Holy Week or Lent. To those who do not know Visita Iglesia, it is the visiting of different churches, it might be one, seven or fourteen churches. For us we mostly visit seven churches. Last 2011, our route was from Cavite to Tagaytay. Last year was along Laguna. Today, I will post about our last year Visita Iglesia.

Forgive me if I can't remember the names of the other Churches we have visited. My memory is failing me and google too. hahaha

Here are the Churches we visited: 

Parish of Sta. Rosa de Lima -- Sta. Rosa Laguna

Candle lights

St. Augustine Church -- Bay, Laguna

St. John the Baptist Parish Church -- Calamba, Laguna

Oh! Sunlight...

Station of the Cross

Angels

Visita Iglesia is usually held during Holy Thursday. While visiting the churches pray the station of the cross. Find your inner peace and feel the presence of God in your life. Always remember repent and be save. By the way, if you know the other churches I have post here, don't hesitate to tell me. Thanks! :)

• Our Lady Monte Maria, Tagaytay
• Churches in Cavite
• Churches in Cavite to Tagaytay
• Kamay ni Hesus and Other Churches in Quezon

Summer is here. Can you feel the heat? Yes, I am feeling it. That’s why I wore shorts in my outfit post. I like to be comfortable in my clothes especially during the hot days. I am most of the time irritated if I am not in the right comfortable clothes. I prefer wearing clothes made of 100% cotton for an easy breezy day for me.

Emote! hahaha

Watch -  Aldo, Spike bracelet - a gift from an officemate.
