A HOLIDAY FROM REAL

Wandering Wednesday: Beijing

2011-11-02T21:58:00.005+08:00

Just some of the highlights from my trip to Beijing last June. I got to cross off one thing in my list, conquering The Great Wall!

Trendy Tuesday: Zooey Deschanel in New Girl

I just love Jess and her clothes in New Girl!

Mouthwatering Monday: Cha Dao Tea Place

2011-10-31T14:49:00.003+08:00

If you are a fan of milk tea, then Cha Dao Tea Place is a must try for you!

"Savour the moment… Whatever type of day you're having, relax and enjoy with a cup of Cha Dao. Caress the glass, don’t hug it, sip the tea, don’t gulp it.

Cha Dao offers healthy and delicious drinks made with brewed tea and infused with milk and fruit flavors. Then we add addicting sago, nata de coco and popping boba for a truly refreshing drink you will definitely crave for!"

My recommendations are the Assam with pearls and Cha Yen with egg pudding. :)

Find them on Facebook and Twitter for more information and exciting updates.

Fanciful Friday: Trunks and Vintage Luggage

2011-10-29T00:55:00.011+08:00

Luggage are not just for travel! Look at how they are used around the house. Besides, who would want their luggage (if they are as beautiful as these) to go through all the rough handling at airports? Now, I want to stock up on these and use it in my future home!

Tuned In Thursday: Lily's Disneyland Surprise

2011-10-27T22:31:00.001+08:00

Cutest. Kid. Ever! Now, this is what you call tears of joy. Watch and tell me she is just the cutest!

Wandering Wednesday: CNN Go

2011-10-27T22:17:00.003+08:00

Anything and everything you need to know when traveling to/within Asia. Your resource for things to do in Asia. Definitely a must stop for all wanderers out there.

Trendy Tuesday: Casio Gold Watch

2011-10-27T22:10:00.002+08:00

Maybe it's my love for both gold and vintage that gets this.

Mouthwatering Monday: CnT Lechon

2011-10-24T18:44:00.002+08:00

Chanced upon this photo of a lechon while browsing through my pictures in my iPod. Oh, how i miss cardiac delight. I want to go to Cebu just to eat this!

Fanciful Friday: iPod Touch

2011-10-21T00:19:00.001+08:00

iWant. Enough said.

Tuned In Thursday: Awkward.

An outcast. Supporting role friends. Two hot guys. Dysfunctional parents. A queen bee and pushover best friend. Crazy guidance counselor.

The ingredients to a great teeny bopper series. I'm seriously addicted. Too bad they just finished the first season. Airing will resume next year. Guess all we can do is watch reruns and wait until next year.

Awkward airs in MTV.

Wandering Wednesday: Dumaguete

2011-10-20T23:23:00.001+08:00

Probably the cheapest travel I've done.
1. Cebu Pacific's Piso Fare
2. All food and other arrangements care of generous new acquaintances
3. Zero activity because of the bad weather

We still enjoyed the vacation. The relaxation that we all needed.

Antulang Beach Resort, Dumaguete

Trendy Tuesday: Lela Rose for Payless Loreta Wedge

2011-10-18T20:58:00.002+08:00

I purchased this beauty on sale over the weekend. The picture does not do it justice. It's much prettier in real life.

Today, I opted for a classic look and wore it with a white shirt and a pair of light wash jeans.

Mouthwatering Monday: Charlie's Grind and Grill's French Fries with Black Truffle

I can't stop thinking about a new favorite in Charlie's, the French Fries with Truffles.

Fear causes hesitation, and hesitation will cause your worst fears to come true.

Style Stalking at Coachella

2009-04-23T15:05:00.016+08:00

The right mix of fashion and music. I love it!

I'm still hoping that I can go to Lollapalooza this year. I need a miracle or just a generous financer to give me ticket to Chicago.

Here some of the looks that I love.

She reminds of Selena Gomez in Wizards of Waverly Place. (Yes, I watch it. Haha)

Very appropriate for this tough economy we are having.

I love mustard yellow.

The dress is just too cute.

I loooooove the florals!

Make under?

No, I wasn't sucked into a black hole. I was just pulled into this craziness, called my uncle's business. It's summer and people really want to cool off. Thus, the frenzy in the resort.

After this frenzy, I plan to start renovating my room. My room is just plain mess right now that I can't even show you. LOL I just want my room to look a lot like this one. I forgot where I got this.

I love everything about this room. Simple. Clean. No fuss. I love the chandelier. I'm still in search of a good but cheap chandelier. I am tempted to buy something at Ebay or Urban Outfitters, but I am afraid it won't work out here in the Philippines. Still looking for second hand shops here in the area. That's about it. Nothing new and exciting happened the last time I updated. Maybe except for a job interview that I went to yesterday. I won't say which yet, I might jinx it. Haha

What They Wore: Backstage Chic

2009-03-14T14:36:00.006+08:00

(Click to enlarge picture)

GORGEOUS!! I love how some models still look chic after a day's work in the office (aka the catwalk). It's as if the street is still their runway. I like all (I mean all) the outfits in this picture. I see a lot of cut-offs and tights outfit in the picture. It is also something I wanted to wear for so long. But in this sweltering heat in the third world, I don't think I would last a day without me wanting to remove the sticky tights in my leg. Haha Maybe during the cold summer nights? I just wish it would be that cold.

Parallelism?

2009-02-27T12:14:00.006+08:00

Don't let the title fool you away. This is not some sort of out of this world entry. Just a little something I noticed while my little my sister was watching TV and I, listening to my iPod.

The Jonas Brothers of our time, Hanson.

The Hanson of today's preteens, Jonas Brothers.

(From left to right)
1. The adorable little brother. If he was older (or we were younger, we wish), we would totally 'crush' him. No doubt, adorable and most suited for our little sisters.

2. The star middle brother. The lead singer and would most often be in the center (literally and figuratively) of attention. Kinda gayish and attracts the most female adoring fans.

3. The so-so big brother. The less fortunate brother, in terms of looks and screaming fans.

And I think, they play the same instrument as their counterpart?

It Doesn't Get Better Than This...

Exploring beautiful tropical islands...

Experiencing luxurious spa treatments...

Leaves falling. Warm colors. Cool breeze. Fall is definitely here. I love it.
