Banol & Coron Youth Club Beach, Calumbuyan Island

Nature is not a place to visit, it is home

:) It's true that nature is not just a place to visit like any famous places in the world.. It just as simple as what we called HOME :) where you find  your comfort zone , friends, love and serenity .

Another exciting day for me!! wondering what is waiting for me on the other side

Next destination Banol Beach :) It was soo beautiful, I saw limestone rock formation and different kinds of cottages (KUBO kung baga hehehe!) this is bulit for excursionist for them to have a place to stay. I noticed also a small store in the island where you can buy chips and drinks...It has small stretch white beach that is enough for us to stroll and hang around for the next few minutes of stay.. :) Some of my friend decided to have a quick nap of one of the cottages, while me and Leny of course Lol :P we roamed around the beach looking for a great view that will fits on our picture perfect souvenir hahaha so  it's time to click and flick!! :)  haha ito na ang tinatawag na paitiman :P 

Approaching Banol Beach  and all I can say is WoW! :) 

SIETE PICADOS, BARRACUDA LAKE & TWIN LAGOON

This is the continuation of my Coron escapade, My second part of continuous journey!. I have my previous post before and if you haven't yet  read the first one, click here. ☚ 

We started the day having a breakfast in Amphibiko lodge. Breakfast time to start the adventure! right?😉 So I had a small serving of Cornsilog which is a short term for Corned beef, sinangag (fried rice) and pritong itlog (fried egg) plus a cup of kapeng barako that somehow helps complete my meal! then off to another expedition(but seriously I'm still GUTOM!! haha gutum much!)

Chitchat for a while 😊 enjoying the cool breeze coming from the veranda 

Off into the ocean and we went to our first stop SIETE PICADOS: We went snorkeling there and I was so delighted to see different kind of fish, especially the stripe one! I like it so much! Many of it like to swim with me too but I was just at the stairs holding my lifevest (takut eh!) 😂. The boatman told us not to step on the bottom because there are many sea urchins laying or hiding on to the corals so better be careful guys! (it is bit scary! right? but because I am not a good swimmer, it's okey for me to staying afloat hehe. All in all we just spend 30 minutes in that place taking pictures and exploring the place.

Siete Picados: They said  it was one of the greatest snorkeling spot

KAYANGAN LAKE & MAQUINIT HOT SPRING - Coron, Palawan

We had our trip last February 16-20 this year. My friends and I rode on Cebu Pacific to Busuanga and availed of DIY Coron's service. BB my officemate is the one who made all the effort to make this trip worth a cent. DIY arranged everything for us (don't know how much we cost for that haha basta enjoy ok na Lol :P) services include airport transfer, lodging, boat trips, fees, breakfast an lunch during the tours, merienda ( which is maruya and softdrinks) :) haha everything except for the airfare and DINNER!!.

We're here!!

From the minute we landed into Busuanga Airport, they took care of everything. With banner pa nga hehe as a warm welcome haha. We were picked up by Kuya mabait (forgot his name) hahaha with his white van and drove us to Amphibi-ko lodge where we will stay.

 

Amphibi-ko lodge is just  a couple of steps away from the port area..:P  hmm really accessible hehehe.

The more the merrieR!! :P Cost sharing Lol  :) 

CORON, PALAWAN, Philippines....♥!!

The title itself shows what I wanted to tell, I heart Coron. I fell in love with this place and I'll surely be back and explore more of it!! After my Camiguin escaped last year, I will consider this also as one of my favorite summer getaway. :) hehehe

It is true that "It's more fun in the Philippines" and I could say that one of the must see destinations here in our country is Coron Island located in the Northern part of Palawan and just less than an hour boat ride from the centro town. Can you imagine travelling in a crystal clear blue water with the cool breeze of air coming into the ocean and blowing your hair off ...ahhhh! what a nice vacation..!!!.

Hmm to start with, thanks to my officmate BB for giving me an opportunity to joined with them. :) well, I know our tour package, itinerary and accommodation was made by DIY coron. We stayed 3 days and 2 night at Amphibi-ko Lodge in a deluxe room, with aircon and personal sized ref. ooh I forgot we have small TV too. Bathroom was clean and well kept, but the water coming from the heater was slow plus dumumi. Free toiletries such as tissue paper,2 pcs small soaps (hena de pravia soap) hahaha and a towel. In terms of services hmmmm i might give them 50 % rate. Free breakfast and lunch. It took them so long to preape the food. We were not satified with with the servings at super to the maximum level ang bagal.

/Our room is in the 2nd floor where you can see the  mountains and the  ocean/

I would like to share it with you guys how beautiful Coron is. Places we've been for 4 days was  soo awesome!. Kayangan lake is indeed beautiful, we had to climb up the slippery trail, and it was exhausting (sobrang taas ng mga steps) whaaa i almost give up but when I saw the the mountains  duh! and the lake was worth it, went swimming, very relaxing. Had lunch (super kain kargador ) haha mga hungry monsters.I love the maquinit hotspring and even though we just stayed there for 30 minutes i guess.. lol i still like it :).. by the time we went there the weather is gone bad.. heavy rains poured on us.. bad timing. Good thing water in maaquinit was really hot,comparable to a hot wet sauna, which relieved our tired muscles. But the sides of the pool were full of moss!! (di bagay sa mga maarte na ayaw ng lumot)

I'm an 80's baby :)

dekada 80 's & 90's : panahon ng kamusmusan at kasiyahan 

8 years old kids today have Facebook, Twitter, Ipods and Iphones. Ako, when I was 8, I only had coloring books and brickgame :) sobrang laki ng pinagkaiba. Sobrang proud ako na isa ako sa mga tinatawag na 80's baby. Ang panahon na kung saan di pa nauuso ang mga iphone, computer at kung ano ano pang mga hightech na gamit na meron ngayon. 

Panahon na kung saan ang mga kabataan ay napaka simple at payak ang kamusmusan. Walang alam gawin kundi ang maglaro sa kalye at maligo pag malakas ang ulan habulin ni nanay ng tsinels at tambo kapag makulit. Ano bang meron nung 80's hmmm yun lang naman yung panahon na kung saan ikaw ay IN kung meron kang padded blouse, New wave, naninigas ang buhok mo sa spaynet, jumper at nakikipag telebabad ka sa telepono :) at kumpleto mo ang pocketbook ni martha cecila hahaha joke!!

Naaalala ko nga, sobrang hilig ko maglaro sa kalye kasama ng mga kalaro ko na kasehodang tanghaling tapat basta makapaglaro lang ng patintero na laging agawan na maging patotot kasi lagi sa gitna ng guhit nakapwesto.. hehe, ang putbol na kampihan pa ang drama 😁, sudsod at piko na mapudpod na lahat lahat ng tsinelas basta enjoy parin. Ang chinese garter na pinagkabitkabit na goma, 10-20 na walang katapusan sa ka-tatalon. Ang taguan at  luksong tinik, luksong baka, tumbang preso na habulan too the maximum level hanggang sa madapa dapa na at magkasugat 😊 hahaha nakakamiss din maging bata, lalo na yung mga panahon na nagtatago pa kami ng mga kapatid ko para di lang ma-utusan na bumili ng suka o mantika sa tindahan 😂 hahaha pati yung pangungulekta ng mga wrapper ng candy para gawing pera sa laro ng tansan.. Natatandaan ko nga na 5 piso ang balot ng stork candy dahil sa kulay nitong green, nanghihingi pa nga kami ng tansan ng beer o softdrinks para may pamato lang hahaha... nakakatuwa talagang balikan

Sino nga bang makakalimot  sa larong ito:

Langit lupa impyerno, in..in.. in.. impyerno

saksak puso tulo ang dugo.. patay buhay alis ka na diyan..

o ang walang kamatayang laro na:

Nanay, Tatay gusto kong tinapay

Ate, Kuya gusto kong kape

lahat ng gusto ko ay susundin nyo

ang siyang magkamali at pipingutin ko...pipingutin ko sa tenga...

One, (clap) one, two (clap clap)

Dumating din yung panahon na nauso na ang holen,dampa na gamit eh goma.. yung salagubang na didikitan ng bubble gum kung pagsasabungin hahaha yung mangunguha ng gagambang bahay.. pagandahan pa sa gagamba kasi sikat ka pag malaki yung nakuha mo... manuod  ng tv at mag-ipon ng teks.. hmm yung teks,, yung nabibili na maliit na papel na puro mga eksena sa pelikula yung nakalagay.. :P hahaha

sobrang nakakaaliw at nakakatuwa alalahanin yung panahon na tayo ay mga musmos palang :) Sa dami ng mga naging uso noon at ngayon siguradong di ko maiisa-isa at mapupuno lang ang papel at mauubos ang tinta :) 

ang sarap maging bata.. ngayon sobrang mahal na ang intersest nag mga kabataan.. hehe internet,gadget,load at cable :) hehehe

My Elizabeth Arden Haul - Review

Hi ladies! so today post would be my Elizabeth Arden Haul😉. Yup! I went out shopping the other day and ended up buying these products. I only went to the store only to buy the Classic Elizabeth Arden Green Tea EDP in my mind but decided to grab also the Tropical EDT perfume and Green Tea Bath & Shower Gel. I'm so curious about this EA Green Tea Shower Gel that's why I bought it and the price is only 189kr Swedish krown which is not bad for a 500ml of product, right?

So let's start with my first one! The Classic Elizabeth Arden Green Tea,the box is simple but quite nice and it has the same design in the front and in back the box. (picture below) 

My Victoria's Secret Fragrance Mist - Review

Hi Ladies can you guess if I own any Victoria Secret perfume or maybe a fragrance mist? 😉 Yup! Absolutely yes! I do own, not only one but three fragrance mist and they're my favorite. 

Back in the days when I was in College, one of my dear friend own VS pear glace and I remember how I loved that scent. Good thing is that my friend who is so generous enough to lend us her perfume whenever we are at school hahaha yah know what they say!"that's what friends are for".Imagine we have same scent through out that day haha!😉 #whatacollegelife. So because of that I always wanted to buy it too. But that time, I know I'm just a student and its so expensive for a student like me to buy a VS fragrance mist its not in the budget so I tell my self "wait till you get a permanent job and you can buy as many perfume as you want"

I am still in love with it after so many years now and because I loved Victoria Secret Fragrance Mist so much, I decided to buy some of their other scents to try them out!😉 Although my first love is Pear Glace, I must say I have a new favorite now. So without further ado, here's my review on Endless Love, Vanilla Lace and Love Spell. My current favorite from Victoria Secret Fragrance Mist Collection.

How to Clean Vintage Louis Vuitton Mini Montsouris

I am so happy when I got my first Mini Montsouris (PM), I bought it last month as a birthday gift for my self and I'm beyond so lucky to purchased it in a really good price. Since this version of the bag is already discontinued and no longer sold in stores, you will most likely be buying it in a pre-loved market or any consignment store online (where I got mine) like Thebrownpaperbag, Fashionphile, Vestiairecollective and the RealReal. But if you are looking for the very best bargain I’d actually recommend you checking out some Facebook resale groups like  LV Addicted–Buy Sell & Chat but you can always send photos to a third party authentication service to be sure if your bag is real. Aside of that you can also find tons of vintage bags selling on ebay, but like I said it's up to you to take the risk buying pre-love bags online.

Scoring a deal on a pre-owned Louis Vuitton Bag is really a great feeling, but let admit it that sometimes the affordable price tag comes with a little wear and tear unless you get super lucky to find one that is in pristine condition and nowadays the price of this bag range around 500 up to a thousand USD (and the price depends on the condition of the bag). As for me, my bag is made in the year 1999 and it is 20 yrs old now. When I received the bag it was not in great shape but not that bad at I cannot use it. The canvass on the top of this bag is a little bit scrubbed but all in all it only needs a little reconditioning and cleaning (the vachetta is little bit dry and it has this musty smell on it that I really don't like).

Personally, I really love the vintage look of this bag and I'm not too concern of having a dark patina on the straps and handle, what I am aiming for in this bag is to get rid the musty smell, conditioning it and make the hardware look shiny again. Please note that it is only my experience I am sharing and not a professional advice (do your research). Also I am not an expert on cleaning leather goods (this is just what I have done and also what I saw others doing; and it works!). If you choose to follow or use the products that I mentioned here : advice at your own discretion/risk.

a wonderful Christmas!!! :)

Yehey! can't imagine how time flies so fast, Christmas vacation is now over and gosh what's next?taddah! NEW YEAR and fiesta naman! 😍 well, counting the days before our kickoff party sa work and I'm sure with that we will have free meal (again at walang kasawaang Amber) LOL another calories.

Wala ako masyadong nakuhang regalo sa bahay as if pag ikaw na ang nagttrabaho eh ikaw na ang nagbibigay ng regalo hahaha pero sa work *rolled eyes (medyo ang dami) not really madami tamang dami 😂 (picture below: kriskringle gifts I received this Christmas)

Merry Christmas :)

I got glittery hand lotion for something shiny, that small thing on the lower left. That small stick notes for something small haha desk calendar, kitty post it, coin purse, chupa-chup lollipop, small organizer with pen, blue bag, chocolate candy, bracelet and a set of personal hygienic tool na  from my former manager. I also received some edible cupcakes and candies and sweets like brownies oh soo yummy👌 (di na kasama sa picture kasi nakain ko na lol). 

Enjoying this month so far..... and its makes me feels like a kid again 😍

I'ts All soul's day

November: Exact month where we celebrate All saint day and All soul's day. This is a national holiday for the entire country to pay respect to the dead ones. Some people went home to their provinces to visit the graves of their loves ones and for us, this is the day we can spend time to visit my father. We usually do this yearly 😊. My mom said that we should continue to take care and remember those we love even after their are gone 💓.

We show our love to them by offering flowers, prayers and even food 😉 . I don't know why but my mom used to do that.. anyway just to share.

Our pinoy version of All soul's day (Undas or simply called Araw ng mga patay) is kinda different because everyone keeps the tradition of going to the cemetery and spend the whole day with their love ones. Kids loves undas too, wherein they can play and make some candle balls. I remember when were kids we used to collect melted candles and sell it .

go for the TeA :)

Me and the rest of my family really likes coffee and switching into a new brand of beverage (which is TEA) is kinda unusual for me and recently, I found an article that drinking tea may help reduce weight 😉 Well, why not try it! 

I know, I need to reduce my sugar intake na so meaning less sweet. I am now drinking 3 cups of tea a day, no milk and no sugar or even no lime at all (no calamasi or any sweet honey on it just pure 😂) as what my 3 days diet requirements (tea or water) lol :) hahaha

I used to hate tea before and I am not a tea fanatic at all but only the one that is called processed tea. Cold tea that you can buy in a local supermarket with different flavors too. I know lots of people loves tea and I respect that and I really do.. that's why now I'm one of them now LOL :) I love tea!! :)

yummms! tea and pankaka is 💜
