I can say that the year 2013 had been my favorite year so far. Many things really happened and most of it were my firsts. I couldn't mention all of those here because there are literally a lot but here are my top picks/ favorites! :)
.Fourth Year High School.
Centennial Celebration would be the first on my list. The Centennial Celebration of my alma mater was one of the main highlight of my 12 years in SBC. Parents' Night. Everything was so memorable from the practices till the night itself plus my long time crush way back in 4th year finally noticed me. Gosh! Hahaha <3 HS Graduation. After 4 years in High School finally every hardships and sleepless nights were payed off! I am proud that i was able to maintain my grades till the last year and graduated with honors! It is no joke after all because i literally cried a lot of tears before i get that award. #Physics Hahaha. I'm really madrama when i was in high school. 
.Summer 2013.
Hong Kong and Shenzhen Trip. This is so far the most memorable trip i had in my whole life. It was my first time to explore another country and i couldn't wait to explore one again. I hope we can travel again this year. <3 Ate Rica's 18th. This event was also one of my favorite. Would you believe that this debut was only planned weeks before the event? From the photo shoots, location, caterers down to the smallest details... they were all done in a rush and i'm proud that i was one of the organizers. It was actually me and my mom. The event was a blast and really memorable not only for the debutante but for all of us. Bloggers United 5. It was my first time to attend BU and all i can say is WOW! I've got to meet all my favorite local bloggers and of course had a picture with them. :"> 
.COLLEGE.
Dentistry. This changed me a lot. I really didn't expect that i will be a dentist in the making instead of a nephrologist. I was only able to made up my mind that i will be taking up Dentistry after my mom enrolled me. It didn't seem legit right? Hahaha. Anyway i'm currently enjoying what i'm in and i've accepted whole-heartedly that this is my future. I will be a dentist! :) I can't wait to be in my proper years and be a clinician though some of my co-dentists are warning me already how hard it would be. I'm up for all those challenges and i'm ready to face them bravely. Met my co-dentists. Meeting a bunch of new faces was no joke because you need to introduce yourself again and again and still need to get to know well each. Well, not for these people. I don't know why but the first time i saw them it was like i've been with them for years already. (pertaining to Justine and Lady) We were so close that people thought we were classmates back when we were in HS. I'm happy that as time passed by i can get along well with everyone. First Semester Class Card. I'm not bragging about this but i''m very thankful for this. I might not get the scholarship i'm wanting but i'm really satisfied with my grade outcome during my first sem in college. I hope that next year i could still maintain my grades even though Chem and Pol Sci are hurting and stressing me out. :'(  
.Sembreak 2013.
First Bloggers Photo shoot. This is also one of my firsts that's why it was memorable for me. This year I had my first photo shoot experience with a pro, Ms. Apz Pasumbal. The best thing about it was that i'm with my two equally gorgeous fashion bffs that's why it was really loud and fun! Billy Crawford Concert Experience. I had attended a lot of concerts and fan girl events this year but this one was the most memorable. Many things happened that night and i can't state it here one by one. Hahaha. All in all it was concert party and i had the most memorable night with a star! Officially 17. Aside from all those events mentioned of course i won't be able to forget the day i turned 17. :) Even though that day may not be really bongga and in fact i was sick that time still i was able to spent it happily with my family. 
.Christmas Break.
Bloggers United 6. After I attended BU5 I promised myself that no matter what happens i'll attend BU6. Well, it was my pre-lims week during that time and i was in the middle of thinking if i'll still push BU6. As i've said no one can hinder me from attending BU6 and so i did. Hahaha. It was more fun this time since i have more cousins who joined and i've got to shop more unlike the first wherein mostly I had pictures taken only with the bloggers. Tagaytay and Nuvali Trip. This marked the last memorable event that completed my 2013. My family is almost complete and it made me the happiest person on earth that day. :)
I'm hoping for a better year, better 2014 ahead for me and my family and of course for you! :) Thanks for being with me since 2012! It's finally the start of 2014 here in my blog! :)   

xoxo,
Cheers to my first post this 2014! :) Before 2013 ends our whole family decided to have a road trip in Tagaytay and Laguna. This was extra special because we're complete, i mean almost complete (because there's one missing) and can pass as one of the craziest and loudest trip i had this year aside from the HK and Shenzhen. :)

Sky Ranch Tagaytay
Our first stop was at Sky Ranch Tagaytay. Because it was holiday it was expected that the place was jam packed. It was gloomy and cold the whole afternoon meaning no sweat at all. Yay! :) 
Here's what i came up wearing. This outfit is really unplanned and I guess unplanned things really works best! Tried and tested. Hahaha. Top/Dress from Shopaholic and Boots from Hong Kong
Family shot with the grand parents. 
The teens in the family :) Spot the youngest and eldest. *Hint: the youngest is one of the tallest guy and the eldest is the smallest lady. Hahaha. 
People call me giant already but hey, what do you call my brother who is only 13 years old and now taller than me? :P I'm not being bias but I'm with my favorite male cousin in the second photo. Tall, Dark and Handsome, say whut?? :P 
with the always MIA cousins. Hahaha. I missed them and i mean it. They looked even healthier and taller this year. :)) I told you I'm from the family of the giants! 
View from our gondola. Foggyyy. 
My wheelmates! Loud and crazy people screaming and partying inside the gondola for 10 minutes. Hahahaha. We took alot of videos while we were at the peak. 
They can be mistaken as father and son in these photos. So adorable :)  
We're almost complete here. Insert RJ, Hanz and Nathan :)

Nuvali
Our second and last stop was in Nuvali. It was already late afternoon when we arrived there and it was drizzling. Good thing though it only took few minutes to drizzle and we're back again roaming around the whole place. 
This is probably one of the main attraction in Nuvali. My young cousins didn't waste the chance to feed all of those fishes. 
At last here's to our family shot. It was a little fail because my second youngest cousin wanted to leave urgently and went back to his game world. Ughh. Hahahaha. Anyway, here's Lolo Pascual and Lola Moning's family greeting you a Happy New Year! :D

We've decided to take a boat ride and luckily umabot kami sa cut-off! :) We were the boat's last trip. Well, it is no joke to wait for 2 hours for our turn and we just need to kill the time. The oldies had a mini session together in Italianni's while some of my cousins decided to look for a hotspot and upload the pictures in fb. Well, my group (Mimi, Ara, Kian and I) decided to go to the other side of Nuvali. We recorded alot of videos while walking towards the other side and window shopped after we got there. Hahaha. 
We were on timing that after we got back it was already out turn to ride the boat. It was past six already. City lights and colder breeze. The ride experience during the night was real crazyyy. Full of screams and shouts! Just imagine we were in a yacht in San Francisco partying. Crazy, Young, Fun, and WILD!!! :)) 
This was how we ended the night. It was a perfect day indeed and if possible i want to go back again and experience the whole day on repeat with my family. <3 What's your best memory last 2013? :)

*This is still not my last post for 2013 because i still have one. I just wanted to greet you again a Happy Happy New Year!  


xoxo,


Here's to my last post for the year 2013! A recap of the events that happened this December. :)

Midnight Memories: Album Launch for a Cause.  Got to experience again fan girling during the second day of December. Sorry not sorry because it's One Direction :)
Bloggers United 6. I had a blast again and was very thankful to my cousins and my mom for being with me and supporting me in all my kaartehan. It was my second time and all i can say is that it gets better and bigger the next time around. If you're like me don't let the next BU pass because you might miss alot! :)    
Pictures of my pretty mom and lola during our friend's wedding. 
ICAP Christmas Caroling. Last December 19 ICAP or my alma mater's choir hosted a Christmas Carol. My youngest brother was one of the guitarist and I couldn't be more proud of him. My brothers are really active when it comes to these things and I'm the opposite of them because I didn't join any organization like this when I was still in Elem and HS. Medyo nakakapagsisi </3 Anyway destined na talaga ako maging stage sister. Hahaha :)))
Last day of school for this year.  Time really flies fast. In just 3 months school is about to end again meaning Pre Dental 2 na ako! :)) But before that I need first to face the upcoming hell weeks full of reports and exams when I get back in school this January 6. Actually hinihintay na ako ng Pol Sci report ko. Huhuhu. But somehow I already want to see and be with my crazy classmates again that's why excited na ako pumasok! Can you believe that? Minsan ko lang 'to sabihin sa buong buhay ko and yes, naeexcite ako pumasok. 
These shirts got my attention while I was roaming around the mall. These reminded me of my Pre-Dent classmates (pertaining to the BOYS!) Selfie and OOTD for AJ, Food Porn for Kurt and Photo Bomb for Daryl. Hahaha :) Happy New Year guys! :P
with my handsome brothers :P
Tasted like heaven. Tis the season to gain more fats and to regret after. :'(
Christmas Break: Bonding around the Metro. It's more fun to bond without oldies around. Joke! :) Tried to be independent for a day with my siblings and cousins. Nothing bad happened and it was again a blast!
Swensen's. Got to try Swensen's again but this time with my siblings and cousins. The more the merrier :P Can't wait to go back and try the other desserts they have in store.
Christmas 2013. I spent my Christmas with my Dela Roca and Manalo Family. It was indeed fun to be with them both. Thank you to all my relatives who gave and sent me papaskos. You made my Christmas extra special. Hahaha :)
Christmas Break: Sky Ranch and Nuvali. And for the last gala for 2013, here's to our craziest trip in Tagaytay and Laguna! :)) Lolo Pascual and Lola Moning's family is finally complete after 2763849 years! :) It's one of the books, I swear! I literally had FUN and enjoyed every moment with them because i know that this bonding might not happen again soon because everyone will be busy again and some may need to leave for work in other countries. I'll be posting more of this trip before my first day in school starts. 
Day to Night OOTD :) I was wearing boots in Sky Ranch during the day and changed into closed flat shoes during the night while strolling with my cousins in Nuvali and Paseo.
Dela Roca Christmas Party. It's that time of the year again to celebrate and party with the whole Dela Roca clan. It was good to see that there were new faces added in the family.  More babies equals more blessings! :) Thank you to my monita, Ericka, for giving me in advance a gift that i can rock and experiment with this coming summer 2014. It was really unexpected. Hahaha. And to my clingy cousins who kept on taking selfies and pictures, teasing and calling me "Laureen Uy" after you saw me in my outfit, "HI!". Hahahaha. Blogger na blogger ang peg ko that night! 

In just a few hours 2013 is about to end! As I always say "Time flies so fast" and we can't do anything to make it slow down. All we have to do is cherish every moment that we have especially with the persons we truly value the most. Happy New Year in advance! May you have a prosperous and bountiful year ahead! :) 


xoxo,
Christmas day went really fast for us. Let's just say it happend in just one click without even knowing what really happened in that one click. Ano daw? Hahahaha. In short, super bilis ng pasko at hindi ko masyado na feel. Yun. :) Anyway all I did last Christmas was lay on bed and talked about the most random stuffs on earth with my dear cousins. After going in 2 houses tambay mode na ulit kami. That's how i spent my Christmas. :)))) Nothing really special but hey, to all those who gave me papasko thank you so much! You guys really made me happy! :) Thank you so much to all my godparents, relatives and of course my parents for the papaskos! 

Sharing with you a little of our paskuhan through these pictures.

This second set of pictures is our little photo shoot. I hope you don't mind if I wasn't able to take detailed outfit shots. :( I seriously took lots but most of it were fail so i've decided not to post anymore a separate blog post for it.

Tank top from Forever21, Mint acid washed pants from Ghen :), Scarf from SM Accessories, Mint satchel from Tomato and Flip flops from Havaianas

and here's to the funny story behind the mini photo shoot we had last Christmas :))) It's actually fun to do some shoots along the road but it was humiliating though everytime vehicles pass by. Ninja moves mode!!!  Hahahaha. My brother even managed to take a video of us running when we heard a vehicle approaching. I uploaded it in my instagram account. Pang best vines talaga yung peg. :))) 


Christmas is the time of giving and receiving blessings. Thank you to all those who remember me. Thank you again for the gifts and red envelopes! Hahahaha. I really had a great time spending my Christmas with the whole family. We're almost complete this year except for one. :( Anyway, thanks also to that one person who made my Christmas extra special. Hahaha :))) 

xoxo,
