During the last week of January, we celebrated our Christmas Party. Just like last year click here if you can’t remember or haven’t read it before. It is odd to post a Christmas Party event in my blog during March? Hehehe As usual, late. But hey, as I was said before I have work that's why I am a little late when it comes to uploading photos in the internet world. Hihi Sometimes I don’t have much time to blog it at home because my sister is using my lappy. However, I am going my best to update my blog when it comes to my personal life.

Enough with the excuses, this time we celebrated our Christmas Party at Hampton’s. Char! Gossip girl? Nyhahaha I mean, we celebrated at The Picasso Hotel at Makati City. I bought the deal from Deal Grocer for almost 50% off. Woot! Take note it was the Loft. Not your ordinary room I can say. So we partied with style. It was a tiring yet fun experience.

The first agenda was to check-in in the hotel. I experience a problem though; I forgot to bring the voucher. Oh oh! But the receptionist was so kind, he told me to just email it to them. Thank goodness they have internet connection everywhere and they have two computers to use. Afterwards, we were assigned on the 8th floor. Then, ta-da! The room was amazing. I will post a separate entry of it. 

The party started late at night, just chillin and catching up with my gal friends. Oh how I missed their company, the non-stop laughter and the stories. I am little sad because one of our friends can’t come with us because of some family matters. I am hoping next time, she will be celebrating with us again. 

Photodump begins now…

Magazines

While waiting for the orders, we took pictures at it's finest. Playing multi-player games at the gadgets. I forgot the again, the name of the game we where playing. It was about finding the

spotlight for the chubby singing guy. It was cute! 

Adobo from Grill 101

It was also my friend's birthday, Therese powerful! hahaha (that is her twitter name lol)

After eating we decided to went to Rue Bourbon, we had a few drinks. Oh how I love the taste of

their beer. It tastes like caramel. We just waited for the 12 midnight to strike so we could sing

a birthday song for the celebrate. We had free shots courtesy of Rue Bourbon! Thank you! 

My friend Therese was surprised when she heard a birthday song played in the whole place. Sikat! lol

Plus a cheese cake and a candle for the birthday girl to blow and make a wish.

Picture with everyone with the birthday girl plus the cake! :) By the way, thank you for the

treat Therese! Sana birthday mo lagi! (in English: How i wish it's your birthday everyday!)

The cheese cake.

Then, after the few drinks we decided to go back to the hotel and have our exchange gifts.

As always, we have that kind of thingy every year. I got a camera strap from Jona. Thank you!

The other gifts - we received from each other. I gave them a purse for make-ups or anything 

you wantto put in it. My gift was the one with a red ribbon. hehe 

Good morning! =)

It's summer! So what do we do during summer? Let's go to the beach beach and parteehhh!
Here are my picks for this summer:

One of the best cover ups and swimsuit I saw. It is elegant and so classy. I will definitely buy them both for a fashionable summer getaway! :)

Ruffled triangle top, this kind of swimwear are for girls that is a little bit flat chested. It will give illusion that your boobies are not that flat. hehehe

I saw Solenn Heussaff on her instagram wearing the same kind of swimwear. It is so sexy!

One piece, this is simple but I love the small details on this swimsuit.

The perfect way to enjoy the beach is the perfect music. Don't forget to bring your mp3s, ipad, ipod
or any gadget that can produce music. Plus a speaker or a earphones. Then, turn on the reggae music.

The beach bag should be huge to bring all those necessary things!!! XD

Add to your arm collection this wonderful charm bracelet. It is so colorful.
LOVE for summer! Summer is LOVE! <3 p="">

You don't  want to step on the hot sand while walking and finding the spot to chill right?
Don't forget to bring your flip flops.

Cause I knew wearing pale lipstick was trouble. Hehehe I am not used wearing pale lipstick. I am more of bright colour lipstick like red, hot pink, then red again girl. I feel much girly wearing bright colours for my lips. I feel prettier too. I wished I added colour to my lips. Looking at the photos makes me feel weird. It looks like I am sick. Hahahaha

Anyways, I have chosen a floral dress and a teal cardigan for a summer look. The heat of summer is starting to burst out little by little especially during afternoon. Do you agree? I like summer but I hate the humidity here in the Philippines. I feel icky and sticky after a long day out of the house when humidity strikes. I hope this summer won’t be that hot as before. Furthermore, it might be a little hot to wear a cardigan during summer. But this baby isn’t, it is 100% cotton from forever 21.

Give me some love even though love month is over. So for the first day of March I will give you, drum roll please.. An outfit post! Woot.. Achievement for me to keep up an outfit post from time to time. As my friends know me, I am the laziest person to upload photos in the internet world. Hahaha This is the reason of so many backlogs but twenty-thirteen will be different. Crossfingers, I hope so too. This one is a little bit late because of work and busy schedule.

The photos partake when we went to Pasinaya 2013 at CCP where my sister joined too then, we had our lunch at Mall of Asia. The photos were at the parking lot. Hehe Excuse my big thigh on the photo. hihihi

We arrived at Club Balai Isabel before lunch time. After we checked-in, we hurriedly ate at Terrazan Café it is the only restaurant in Club Bali Isabel. It was beside the swimming pools and it has a nice view of Taal Volcano. As for lunch, here we go! We ordered Batangas Bulalo, Fish Fillet with Sauce (I forgot the name of the sauce), Mix Chicken and Pork Adobo, Rice and for dessert Buko pandan. Too bad, I am so serious eating I forgot to take photos of buko pandan. It was so delicious and creamy. 

The foods were so tasty and yummy. The Batangas Bulalo as for non-Filipinos, it is the boiled boned marrow of the beef with vegetables and soup. It is one of my favorite dishes. Compared to the original bulalo, this one has a distinct taste. The fish fillet has a mango sauce. It is something unique and flavorful. While the adobo is good too but to be honest no one can beat my lola’s adobo. Hihi Finally, for dessert, the buko pandan. It has a vanilla ice cream that added deliciousness in it. Must-try! 

FOR LUNCH:

FOR DINNER:

Dinner time, I was still full. So I ate only few bites of everything. Hahaha We ordered taliwis, bagnet, rice and pansit. The bagnet was so crispy and crunchy. I like it. But I think it is a little bit pricey for a small piece of banget. Hehe 

The Crispy Bagnet.

Pansit.

FOR BREAKFAST:

Good morning! Breakfast is one of my favorite meals. They offer varieties of breakfast meal like Filipino breakfast, American breakfast and many more. I ordered bacon and eggs plus bread, it’s an American breakfast. As usual, another favorite of mine, (baka sabihin nyo fave ko na lahat, nyhahaha.) hunny ordered Filipino breakfast consist of tapa, longanisa, danget and garlic rice. With fruits and plus extra bacons for me. So heavy! 

Filipino Breakfast - Tapa, Longanisa, dried fish and garlic rice.

Toasted bread, 2 eggs and bacons.

Now, I can say traveling and eating is really a good combination. I hope I made you crave for food. Hehe What would be my verdict? 4 out of 5, because it's a little bit pricey and we did  not experience the buffet. hahaha Maybe next time.
