April 29 - May 2, 2012 

Looks like I’m going to frequent Boracay after this trip. We had a blast, and we’d love to experience it again next year and the year after and the year after that. :) 

BUT, more than the place and the parties, it’s the company of the people you’re with that makes the journey more memorable and worth repeating. Hopefully, we’ll have more out of town trips this year! I don’t want my travels to end in the first quarter of the year. :)

BORACAY 2012

My airport and plane outfit. I chose very comfortable and loose clothes because the trip to Boracay is far from glam and convenience. Aside from the plane ride to Caticlan, we also have to take a boat to get to the island and a trike to get to our place. People coming from Kalibo would still have to take a bus/van ride to get to Caticlan, where they’ll ride the boat to Boracay. I don’t think excessorizing would be a good idea for such a journey. :) 

Sunnies from Nava! It’s one of my favorites! They look like Club Masters, but cheaper. Hahaha! :) 

Top from Forever 21 // Shorts from Forever 21 // Vintage Belt // 

My cute friend, Bea, is also in an all Forever 21 outfit! :) 

I bullied her into taking a solo outfit shot because her look is worth posting! SO CUTE! RIGHT? RIGHT? :) 

To see more of her, here’s her blog: http://adventuresoflittlemisslostdoll.blogspot.com/ 

SORRY, I just had to post some outfit shots before I begin with my photo diary. :)

April 29 - May 2, 2012 BORACAY 2012 PHOTO DIARY: 

Photos from my phone: 

The first photo I took when we arrived in Bora. We were just in time for the beautiful sunset. <3 

Watched the sunrise with someone special. BUT, the sun rose on the other side of the island. #FAIL :)

The rest of the photos below are from my friend’s camera. :) 

Thanks to Lester Sy for bringing his amazing DSLR; we were able to take a lot of good photos! :)) 

NOTE: I will be posting my beach outfits in the following posts. Stay tuned! :) 

Sweets For My Sweet

I spotted that collar necklace when we went to Korea last month, and I’ve been itching to wear it because it’s so cute! The H&M mannequin that was wearing that necklace was in a boyish/grunge outfit. I don’t think I can pull that off very well so I tried it with a sweeter look. :)

Next time, I’ll try to do the grunge outfit too! :)) 

I think the collar would also look good on a gold/silver top. Yes? :)

Flowy White Skirt

My 5,000 WON (Php200) skirt from Korea! Yes, it was so cheap that I went back to the store, which was on the other end, just to get it even though we were already about to leave. :)

April 15, 2012

We celebrated our dad’s birthday at lunch then we went to Resort’s World to watch The Sound of Music. My mom has been asking us to watch The Sound of Music with her since November, but we never got the chance to see it then. After months of waiting, her wish was finally granted. Hahaha! I’m not really a big fan of plays and concerts so I wasn’t really excited to watch, but it turned out to be pretty good! :) 

It was definitely a fun-packed family day for us! :)

April 14, 2012

Watched “Battleship” with Alex, Ralph, Pat and his siblings. :) 

Sorry, I usually write the events of the day at the end of my posts to help me remember them in the future. I’m getting old, I need to start writing things down before I forget them completely. :) 

Korea Makeup Haul

Olive Green & Silver Gel Liner :) 

This is my favorite! It’s smooth, easy to apply and it doesn’t smudge! Moreover, the shimmer of this liner makes the eyes stand out even more. :) 

My friend, Bev, tried it first and I instantly noticed the difference while she was walking around the store. After asking her what she used, I immediately bought 3 liners for myself (2 olive green and 1 silver). Since it was from The Face Shop, I was expecting to find it in Manila. Unfortunately, the olive green color, which is my favorite, is not available here; they only have blue, midnight blue, pink and silver. I should’ve bought more! :( 

CUTE LIPPIE FROM HOLIKA HOLIKA! Honestly, I bought this because of its shape rather than its shade. :) 

Colored Lip Gel. It’s like a lip balm that adds color to the lips. It works nicely, but it has a bitter taste, which stays on the lips after application. :( 

I’m enjoying these kinds of lipsticks. They look like stubby pencils! :) 

Ah. One of my favorite purchases in Korea! I’ve been using this concealer since my friend, Cam, introduced this to me. It’s a concealer made of rice so it smells quite good. The liquid consistency is perfect: not too thick and not too diluted. BUT, they’re a bit pricey here in Manila. If I’m not mistaken, they’re priced at Php695 or Php650 (I’m sure it’s more than Php600). In Korea, Skin Food prices are the same as The Face Shop’s! I got this for 5,000 WON. That’s only around Php250! : | 

1,500 WON! Php60 Nail Polish! :) 

1,000 WON. Php40! Hahahaha! I bought so much because they’re so cheap! :) 

Minty Fresh

It’s been a while since I started to like mint colored things, but I never got the chance to wear an outfit of that color, and now, it took me a month to post one! My blog is very outdated; I think I need to post more often. I’ve been saying that for a couple of months now and I even made it my New Year’s Resolution. What happened? Hahahaha! :)

F.D. Movie: Wrath of the Titans

ALCATEL ONE TOUCH GLAM 810D

As an additional chic feature to this phone, it was made with customizable tiny luminescent diodes, which sparkles whenever a message is received. This sleek and stylish design of Alcatel ONE TOUCH GLAM 810D makes it perfect for the fashionable ladies! :)

AIINS WORLD

April 6, 2012 Itinerary: 

We went to the KIMCHI School where we were taught how to make the lettuce kimchi. Yes, lettuce kimchi is the one we normally see and eat. Apparently, there are a lot of of types of kimchi (I honestly had no idea). Example: Radish kimchi, squid kimchi, kimchi pancake and many many more. :) 

I took a picture of the one I made, but it doesn’t look very appetizing so I decided not to post it. Hahaha! :) 

Wearing Hanbok :) 

Papasa din namang outfit shot to diba? :) 

After this, we went to the Ginseng Outlet and The Face Shop store. After that, Bev, Blanche and I already separated from the tour for a shopping trip. IT WAS FUN! SUPER FUN! It was one the highlights of my trip — Shopping with friends + figuring out the train + going home late + getting lost in the train station + crossing our fingers that the train which just left wasn’t the last trip back to our place. :)

April 7, 2012

First stop, Amethyst Shop. My dad got me a ring! KILIG! :) 

Cruise around Seoul - This wasn’t originally part of the itinerary, but our tour guide tried to fit it in because we weren’t able to take the one in Busan due to our canceled flight. :) 

Last tourist attraction: AIINS WORLD: MINIATURE THEME PARK : )

Eiffel Tower. I miss Paris. :( 

Colossus of Rhodes

Location: Mediterranean Sea, Greece 

Legend says that people in the Island of Rhodes erected an enormous statue of their sun God Helios to guard the entrance of the harbor at Rhodes, in order to commemorate their spirits that led themselves to conclude a peace treaty in 305 B.C. With a height of 33m, it was built over a period of 12 years. It is said that this statue got its knees broken due to the severe earthquake in 226 B.C., it remained standing for a millennium. - Got this from their description box. :) 

Machu Picchu - Now I know what it is! :) 

Location: Andres Mountains, Peru

As the last ruins of the ancient Inca Civilization, that was born in Cuzco, the old capital city of Peru, Machu Picchu means “Old Peak.” Standing at an altitude of 2,350m above the sea level, it is a city located on the highest reaches in the world. Until now, no one knows how the Incas carried blocks of stone without using the wheel to build structures. - From the description box. 

Does anybody know the way to ATLANTIS?  Such a beauty! :(

Location: Atlantic Ocean near the Straits of Gibraltar 

Atlantis, meaning the “Island of Atlas”, is a legendary island in the Atlantic, west of Gibraltar. Plato, the ancient Greek philosopher, described this island in his work, “Dialogue”. It is said that Atlantis was once a rich and powerful kingdom, but its arrogant pride incurred Gods’ angry, and they got Atlantis to sink beneath the sea. - Got this from their description box as well! :) 

While some of our tour mates when back to the bus early, I kinda enjoyed AIINS WORLD. It felt like going around the world in less than an hour! : ) 

Sorry I posted a lot of tourist shots in this entry! Btw, this is my last blog about our Korea trip so expect my regular outfit and makeup posts in the coming days. :) 

Nami Island

April 5, 2012

Nami Island: The shooting place of the famous Korean Drama, “Winter Sonata”

The very futuristic “ferry” that took us to Nami Island. I wasn’t expecting the ferry to look anything like that. :) 

The “siblings” & “friends” table. :) 

The table beside this is meant for lovers. :) 

SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SPOT! I should’ve taken a solo lookbook worthy photo! :( 

On our way to the National Folklore Museum. :)

Gyeongbokgung Palace: A part of this palace was used as a shooting place of another famous Korean drama, Dae Jang Geum. :) 

Unfortunately, the shooting location was under renovation so I wasn’t able to take a picture. Nevertheless, the whole place was breathtakingly beautiful. :) 

The party/banquet area. This picture does not do any justice to the place. All of us literally wow-ed when we saw it. :) 

Btw, if there’s one place in Korea that I’d like to visit again, it would be Nami Island. They said it’s more beautiful during the fall because it looks more alive with the falling yellow orange leaves from the trees. <3
