Summer Ain't Over Till I say It's Over! {2013}

Unexpectedly I went home to Cebu twice this May. First, was to celebrate my niece's birthday and Second is the most unplanned part where my friends wanted to have an impromptu vacation. It was just a 3 day thing and we had to squeeze in a lot of things to do within this small amount of time. Gladly, we are able to do it! Spending not just with my friends but I involved my family as well which made it more fun and unforgettable!

Landed around 8:45am in Mactan and we went straight to Sto. Nino Church & Magellan's Cross. For our breakfast I brought them to Larsian which is very known as the BBQ Center of Cebu.

Airport! Tired but really excited

BBQ!

Larsian at Day, but at night there is a huge crowd in here.

Went directly to the bus station after the meal, and slept 3 hours until we reached home and slept again. 

It was the Feast of our Lady of Fatima when we arrived, and the usual program and disco was happening. I met some of my childhood friends and we went partying with them, together with my brothers and cousins as well. I will never miss a "disco" in my hometown, we all love to dance!

Cousins and Brothers!

Party!

Childhood Friends Reunite!

2nd Day

KAWASAN FALLS

Badian, Cebu

Entrance Fee at Php 10 only, tables and chairs at Php 100 and the best part is the raft for Php 300. Really cheap for a very fun experience and bonding moments with my family and friends!

3rd Day

Whale Shark "Butanding" Watching

Brgy. Tan-Awan, Oslob Cebu

3rd Day Part 2

My favorite place to go whenever I come home is the beach, and it's this particular beach that I will never get tired of going back to. The sand, pure as white. The waters, blue as the sky. Nothing but serene and pure relaxation. Better than Boracay I believe. 

We stayed from 11am to 10pm. That's how fun this day was and we don't even want to go home, considering that the next day we are going to Manila and face reality once again. 

4th Day

This beautiful sunrise bid farewell to a summer well spent. I will forever be grateful for all the blessings God has given and for every brand new day we wake up to.

I just came back from my 5 days vacation back at home in Cebu and to be honest my happiness have never been so high like this before. A lot happend. Like a lot. Really. I know, pa-ulit2x. 

I wish I can say everything here in my blog, but there are some things I'd like to keep with myself first. All I know is that I had fun and I don't have any regrets. Will blog about my trip soon! In the meantime, I'd like to share this picture of me in my favorite beach. Where a lot of memories came back rushing to me.

How was your 1st month of the year so far? Mine was both up and down. Wasn't really in the mood to be happy at all because we are commemorating my Lola's 1st death anniversary, and we are missing her presence so much. 

It's just so different now. 

Anyways, I hope you are all doing great! Sorry for being a very inconsistent blogger. LOL

{Hello 2013!!!}

Happy New Year!!!

Hope all of you had a good one! Mine was great, but it would be more awesome if I was able to go home to Cebu and spend it with my family. I thought I'd make a list of my goals this year, but I realize I've been doing it for the past years and I can't seem to follow it for some reasons (laziness maybe?) but again I'll still try.

Right now, everything's been good to me and I just want to continue it that way. I am so thankful for having a family that supports me and still makes me feel loved even if I'm islands away from them and friends who continue to encourage me in the best possible way they can. Slowly and surely I've changed a lot of things in me, this new career made me feel great and happy with my life, all those 4 years of stress made me stronger and confident in the way I handle myself everyday. A lot of people say I've glowed and became more happier! So I'm sharing you below my recent pictures. I hope they do the justice!

Puppy Love ♥

I've regained my fashion interest!

The courage to pose in front of a busy crowd!

Blooming eh?

Coffee anyone?

 

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all!

This is year is all about making making my dreams come true! and by that reaching my goals not just for myself but for my family. Hope you all had a great year ahead!

Cheers to another 365 days of happiness!

 Opps makes that 357 because this post has been so over due!
