Day dreamer and Believer: November 2019

Hey everyone! It's almost December and I can already feel the Christmas vibes everywhere I go. I noticed that it's getting cold most especially at night, Christmas songs are on repeat everywhere and there are more opening of light decorations in the different cities in our province. One of the least thing that I didn't liked about this season (well, there is!) is actually the struggle to spot an empty parking lot in malls because there were literally a lot of people who are already having their Christmas shopping this early! The waiting time for a table in a restaurant is so long that you'd rather have a drive thru and eat it in your house than wait to be called out. Lines in cashiers are also stressing me out especially when most people buy 2 carts full of random things and then use their credit cards to pay. It just makes everything longer.

The most convenient and possible way for me to buy presents for my family and loved ones is to shop online! I've been an online shopper for almost 9 years and I know that I've saved more than when I shop in malls. It's because I always wait for my favorite brands and shops to announce their weekend SALE. Yessss, I add to cart most items when I feel like to and then click that check out when I already have a coupon code. I'm always prepared for SALEs! Haha! This pair of Lace-up Front Knit Sneakers is actually one of my Christmas gift for myself. I was surprised when I tried it because it's very comfortable to wear and definitely has a good quality. Another SHEIN quality approved pair for me! :)

Speaking of SALE, SHEIN is currently having their Black Friday SALE until November 29. Score items for 15% less when you use the code: BF191689 upon checkout! :) Get this pair for only $24 less 15%! :)

See you in my next posts! Let's stay connected! :)

Hey guyss! Thanks God "It's Finally Fridaayyy!" It means that it's the last full day of work/school and the start of a stress free night weekend. Are you the person who'd just prefer to rest and watch netflix or spend the night outside with friends? Well, I prefer to rest and sleep and look forward to the next day of Saturday clinic. Haha! Most of you know already how much I love exploring new places and going on trips with my friends. Most of it were planned kase "hindi uso samin ang biglaan." We have to decide first how far we'll go and budget the money and time that we have for that day. Aside from that I also consider the outfit that I'll wear because I always make sure to match it with the theme of the place. Ganito na siguro talaga pag fashion blogger! Haha! But guys, consider this tip from me. I encourage you to dress nicely when you go on trips especially the out of town and country ones. You will always pose for pictures and I'm sure that you would love to see yourself look "extra" even for once. Going on a winter trip in Japan or Korea? Wear that faux fur coat and pose fiercely for photos! How about a beach trip in Palawan or Boracay? It's time to wear the swimsuit that you've been saving for so long in your closet. Try to look extra and I'm sure that you'll love it when you see your photos printed and displayed already! Take it from me! :)

Outfit. This tropical print ruffle dress has actually stayed for so long already in my cart. When I thought of making my November Summer Dress Series I checked this dress if it still has my size. Luckily, Shein still has it and finally after 7 months I was able to order it. Haha! I am very satisfied with my order. I love the length, the prints and the style of this dress. I also love the cool tones and the summer vibes it bring. Thanks Shein for my dress!

Living in a tropical country means experiencing a one whole year of summer days. We're in the mid week of November already but there are no hint of any cold or even just a chill breeze in our place. It's only either pure sunshine or a heavy rain. One of the many things that I'll be forever thankful in living in the Philippines is that I get to hoard and wear every summer dress that I want. You know how much I love wearing maxis, pastels and tropical prints! I will forever live up for those summer dresses and you will see in my next posts on how I style my new set of dresses. For now, here's my first look in my lined up "November Summer Dress Series".

Outfit. I ordered a bunch of summer dresses lately and I bought it in 3 different styles and designs. This white ruffle schiffy dress is one of them. I love how chill and pure this dress looks and I just love the light vibes it brings. The color of the dress is also very summery and youthful. As most people say, "You can never go wrong with white." This outfit can absolutely testify to that!

I know this touristy picture of mine already speaks for the blog post but let me remind you that this is only a sneak peak of my whole Playa Montana experience 2 weeks ago. :) If you aren't familiar with it, Playa Montana Beach Hotel is one of the newest addition in the shores of Pagkilatan Batangas and has opened its doors to public last April 1 this year. It's the first beach hotel to date in Pagkilatan and is marked to make its way as one of the leading beach tourist destination in the shore of Solidbaybay. Going back, I was invited and given the chance to experience and have a taste of what it feels like to live the suite life in Playa for a day. Let me share you the whole experience through the captions below.

Suite room. What did I really expected in a suite room of this beach hotel? I expected nothing short of perfect! King-sized and soft bed, a spacious living room, flat screen television, a private comfort room with complete set of toiletries, and a breath taking view of the pool side. What more can I ask for? This suite room was our home for the whole day where we got to have the complete R&R that we needed away from the stress of school and work. We were 4 in our group and was able to maximize the whole space since the hotel's suite is good for a maximum of 5 pax. This room is valued at Php 10,000 for an overnight stay and Php 8,000 for a day tour.

This corner is everyone's picture perfect and instagram friendly spot. Check out my ig posts! :P

Deluxe & Quadruple Rooms. Aside from the suite room, there's also a deluxe room which can accommodate a maximum of 2 pax and a quadruple room of 4 pax. It is smaller and has the basic amenities of a hotel room. Deluxe rooms are available at Php 4,000 for an overnight stay and Php 3,500 for a day tour. For Quadruple rooms, overnight stay starts at Php 6,000 and day tour starts at 5,000.

Group Room. If you're travelling in big groups like 10 pax or more they also have bigger and more budget friendly rooms. They also have the amenities of a suite room but the highlight of this one is a common balcony with a view of the sea. Overnight rate starts at Php 15,000 and Php 12,500 for day tours.

Watch out for my next outfit posts! 2 of it were shoot here in Playa :)

For our lunch they prepared a different selection of foods that they offer to their guests. Overnight stays are inclusive of breakfast meals while Day tour stays are inclusive of plated lunch.

Chicken Kaldereta

Pansit Bihon Guisado

Playa's Signature Whole Chicken

Seafood Platter

Crispy Pata

Garlic Butter Shrimp

Spaghetti. They offer huge serving size that the whole spaghetti on a plate looks good for 2-3 sharing already.

During the late afternoon we went down to explore the pool and beach area. It was so hot that afternoon and it made the pool looked more inviting. Ahhh, this view is just soothing to the eyes!

There are many beautiful spots that I loved in Playa but this one is my favorite.

From the raft, you will see the whole view of the hotel. It is plainly attractive and beautiful.

I really had a good time here. The view is so beautiful and the water is so clear. Akala ko nasa Coron na ako. Haha! A school of fishes can be spotted around this area too. Ang ganda lang. How I wish we waited for the sunset.

Rewarding himself with a refreshing dip after taking photos the whole day! Haha! I'm sure he enjoyed the pool all by himself.

I also enjoyed the whole experience and I must say that the suite life was all worth it!
