Breath taking view isn't it? It feels like I'm a tourist all over again when I am here. 
If you were to ask me, the best time to go here in Monte Maria is before the sunset so you could have a free time to capture everything you like before evening. In our case we were just in time for the sunset when we went there. We were able to see the what they call "magic and spark". Seriously ang sarap mag-emote. :)) It was so romantic.
Here's a mandatory tourist shot from the four of us. 
Here's to another selfie plus photobombed picture of Mimi and Mons. We actually made a video of this. You may visit my instagram account to view it! :)
Channeling my new hair style. #Shorthair :) Another list from my Sembreak bucketlist removed! Any opinions or feedbacks about the new hairstyle? Comments are loved. 

A touristy shot of my baby brother. Look at the backdrop! So so lovely! :)
Another touristy shots of the new comer tourist! Hahaha. Look-up pose. :)
It was so windy during that time that I really had a hard time posing for photos. Actually almost all the pictures taken were fail pictures because my hair kept on smashing my face. Hahaha :))
Here's to my OOTD! Plain and prints outfit. I'm not pertaining to the brand, I'm pertaining to the outfit combination. :)

Before we leave the beautiful Monte Maria, here are some pahabol poses! :))

What would you feel if you were to wake up one morning with this view?

My family together with my relatives spent 2 days and a night in my grandparents' hometown. We were almost complete that it seemed like we had a reunion party. One thing that I really like when I'm at my grandparents' place is that whenever we'll eat it feels like we were attending a feast. They serve feast-like yummy foods! Hahaha. We ate together as a family sharing not only great foods but also countless stories.

One thing that we love doing the most and of course the thing that almost all of us (cousins) missed doing are being beach bums! We took a walk by the shore one afternoon. Caught by the beauty of the clear water we certainly didn't had any second thoughts of swimming and of course never thought that in no time we will be caught swimming in our big t-shirts and pajamas! Hahaha. Yes, that's how insane we are!  
Hi there Mrs. Lennon! She wasn't able to swim with us because she's a late comer. Channeling her beach hair/ beach waves. Hahaha :))
I like these pictures. Look how Hanz and Aerolle bond with each other while we were happily swimming. Hahaha. 
Before we end our swimming session we asked the man approaching driving a motor boat if we could take a ride. Fortunately he said "Yes". Mimi and I had a really good time exploring the deep and clear sea of Pagkilatan. Special thanks to lolo for giving us a ride!

This is probably the main highlight of  my sembreak. The days I feel free in the social networking world :P (but still there's pocket wi-fi) and the days well spent with my family and with the persons equally close to my heart. December is fast approaching and I just can't wait for the true family reunion to happen when everyone is complete!

This post is dedicated to one of the coolest sister I have! After a year finally I was able to bond again with my eldest sister in the family. :) I missed her alot! *Cheesyyy* We spent one whole day laughing, telling stories, eating to the fullest and of course window shopping! Hahahahaha. Wait, I was the only one who window shopped because she actually bought some items for herself and her mom. :) 
I told you earlier that one of the things that we did enjoyed doing was to eat and eat. The restaurant which  we picked to dine-in was the Old Spaghetti House. Don't you just like its vintage and antique look? So cool! Okay let's use the hashtag Foodstagram. Hahahaha :))
Here she is! The ultimate sexy sister I have, Ate Ghen. Yes I know I look older than her but wait she's 5 years older than me. I really had a good time with her. Too many plans yet we do have limited time. :( 
This is what Ate Ghen ordered. Fresh mango juice, fish fillet, side dish salad and pasta.
This is what I ordered. Fish fillet, side dish salad and Alfredo. :) I just noticed that lately whenever I eat in some restaurants with my friends and family I've been addicted to fish dishes that I forgot chicken and pork still exist. I guess I now have a new favorite! :)
This was the last selfies I took before I had my haircut. I still don't know if I made the right decision of cutting my hair off about 4 inches. Nakakapanibago. Anyway it will still grow after a year. Hahahaha. :))) 
How are you doing? How's your vacation so far? :)

I think this will be my first time to write here a blog about the things I love! :) I came up with this segment to take a break first from all those outfit shots and blog diaries that I usually write here. 
  
To start with one of the things that I really love doing is reading especially when it is all about those girly stuffs that I want. Good thing I discovered this application 3 months ago and I just need to share it with you. This app is All Women Stalk. Some of you may be familiar with this already but from those who aren't this is an app where you can find all the girly girl stuffs you have been looking for. Jam packed app! Some of my mostly viewed categories are weight loss :P, diet, DIY, celebs, fashion and travel. This will literally help you alot! You may download this app in the app store for free or you may visit their website by clicking this.   
Along with those floral crowns I'm sure all of you are familiar with these equally pretty floral sunnies. One of the things that I have been eyeing since the day I first saw it are these DIY flower sunnies. It's cute right? I've been seeing these kind of glasses in random boutiques already. Anyway, if you are interested to buy one I know an online shop who sells flower sunglasses like these two. :)  
Drop dead gorgeous! This is how I describe these kind of clutches. Look at those blings and laces. To tell you honestly, I fell for these kind of clutches already. You can see it here. Who wouldn't want to own one? It's a statement piece. Either you're wearing a plain top and jeans or evening dress using a statement clutch would definitely make your whole look perf and fab! 
These over rated and over used muscle tees will never go out of style. To tell you honestly my first muscle tee came from my first ever DIY. You can see it here. :)) I love muscle tees because it is very comfortable to wear and easy to style. Here are some of the pictures I grabbed from Forever21 page. I think it can help you out in styling your muscle tees! :) 
This shop is one of my latest addiction. It's Cruella and Co. online shop. You can view their instagram page here. What I love in their shop is that aside from selling the latest and trendy clothes nowadays, they offer free shipping fee! It's cool right? Plus size? Don't fret because they offer too clothes for plus size customers but you just need to pay an additional fee. I haven't tried this online shop but my cousins and I are planning. :) 
I've made a review about this shop before. You can read it here. This shop is honestly one of the shops I would always look back to because it has a sentimental value. :) It is the shop where I had my first online buying experience and I can say that it was all worth it. The owner of the shop has gone through so many challenges these past few weeks, to the point that she decided to close it, but then due to public demand and support she had been getting from her followers and customers including me she decided to continue the quest by starting all out again and renamed the shop More to Love PH. So again, if you're one plus size reader of mine, you'll probably need to follow and try this shop because I am telling you, you might be startled with the latest products she is selling right now! Affordable pieces plus free shipping is on so you might need to save now just like what I am doing! :)
Lastly this post wouldn't be complete without my latest discovery. Along with Vern and Verniece, Laureen, Kryz and Camille's blogs, one of my new addiction is Camilla Sentuti's blog named Glamgerous which means dangerously attractive. Fab right? What I love with her and her blog is that she's really a pro! A girl originally from Italy but tried to fit in the big city of New York. I love her photos, her backdrops, her words and accent! Fan girl mode again! She's now on my top list of the people I want to meet in the future.

I hope I was able to help you and share with you effectively. I love writing and I will probably write more stuffs like this in my next blog posts! :) Hope you didn't get bored at all!

Last October 19 we watched in my alma mater (currently my siblings' school) a play entitled Yakap ng Pastol. It was a play about how much the RGS Sisters contributed to the Philippine history. The play was directed by no other than Mr. Ariel Hagos and of course played and portrayed each by the PAO talents.
I cannot believe it that how on earth would my brother be a member of the Performing Arts Office!!! I mean it's PAO, it's the most popular organization where most of the talented people in our school came from. It was his first time to join the play and I guess he enjoyed and learned alot from his experiences. He was given minor roles yet he has some speaking lines! I even took a video of the longest line he said. I was praying during the time when was speaking that hopefully he will not miss any word or if there's any no one might notice it! I'm proud that he didn't messed up! He was able to state it clear and clean. Proud ate here! Hahaha. Future stage sister :P
Here's the ootn of me and my girls! By the way sorry for the low quality pictures. Took these pictures using phones only and some pictures were only grabbed. I hope you understand. :)
Perfect way to end the night! It was a blast and as expected it was a success again! :) Kudos to PAO talents and of course Sir Madz!
