Day dreamer and Believer

Commuting in Manila is actually one of the most annoying thing that happens to me whenever I go to the city and to be honest, I'm still scared to commute alone (like it's always my first time) even though I've done it so many times. Why? Mainly because I have trust issues when it comes to the public transportations. I'm afraid of the speed maniac drivers but most especially to the strangers I encounter in jeepneys and taxis. Anyway, what's the connection of these rants to my outfit anyway? Haha. Let me go straight to it. My cousins and I commuted in Manila from Vito Cruz to the National Museum. Whenever I'm commuting in Manila, I have this rule to myself that I'll never wear anything that will show too much of my skin. No backless/strapless/cami tops, shorts, skirts you name it. I am that paranoid. I don't want to get false attention and looks from strangers especially the guys. Although I want to wear something fancy and way cuter for the National Art Gallery tour, I sticked to my rule and wear this outfit instead. I wore these boyfriend jeans that I didn't get to wear lately because it got smaller (or did I just got bigger?? Haha), a checkered off shoulder top and my new pointed flats. I like how it turned out- comfortable and museum appropriate one. Top from The Sunshine Pixie , Jeans from Guess , Flats from Zalora

Last month, during the first week of April, my blockmates and I went for a beach trip in Laiya Batangas. I have been there before but in a different resort. Since we are students who wants to enjoy summer for an affordable cost we chose the resort One Laiya. There's nothing much to expect and do- just a plain beachfront full of huts for day tours and overnight stays + a volleyball net + powdery brown sand. There are no swimming pools too but they offer activities like banana boat rides and the like. How I wish we tried Banana boat as a group but some didn't want to. The best part of the day was probably every time we share meals. We bought foods before we went to beach and had it all prepared by ourselves. Independent mode on! Haha!

There are many tattoo artists roaming around the beach who offers henna tattoos for Php 100. I was supposed to have that "couple like" tattoo but I ws hesitant because people might think that I'm in a relationship! Talk about that Queen's crown! Haha. I chose a dreamcatcher instead and I like how it turned out! :)

It was really sunny during that day and it's unbearable. My sunblock even failed to do the trick and my legs and arms can testify to that!! I use to bring a hat and sunnies in every beach trips that I go. I realized that light scarves are a must too just in case you want to cover-up and avoid the sun's heat!

This is my favorite picture of us as a group. I like how we looked stress-free here after receiving our grades just the day before the trip. Thankful that we survived first year dental proper year together!! Anyway, wishing you all a great start of May! <3

My first summer beach trip this year happened two weeks ago in the beautiful resort at Lobo, Batangas. Lobo is not known for white beaches because instead of sand they have pebbles. This getaway is not mainly about the search for a beautiful beach but a relaxing resort away from the congested city. I, being the brain of galas in our family, searched for a resort to go to and checked the most googled one, Punta Verde. The website's pictures were too fascinating but I don't want to expect much since most websites have exaggerated and too edited pictures. We still agreed to go there and I must say, the almost two hours long drive + underdeveloped rocky roads + the lack of phone signal are just some of the most annoying things we encountered during our travel. My mom even told us to ditch the plan and find an alternative resort because we've already passed a lot of resorts and we're almost atop the mountain but still haven't find Punta Verde Dive Resort. Of course, I wouldn't let that happen. No. Not during the moment that we're almost there. When we reached the gates of Punta Verde, we were disappointed of how it looks. We entered and found nothing special. It looks like it was still under construction. I was embarrassed because my plans were a total fail! Little did we know that the resort we were looking for was not the usual resort everyone sees. It is situated at the mountain! I was like, for real? The place that we entered was just an extension of the main resort. From the beachfront, we hiked almost 200 steps up going to the main resort. Although the steps were quite steep and I experienced mild leg cramps during the hike, I still enjoyed the view going up with the matching stories of our friendly tour guide. They made sure to entertain every guests coming through the witty signages and quotations that can be seen in every stop.

After the exhausting and long hike, this view came into picture. I do not have the right words to describe how relaxing the view was. I almost forgot everything that we've encountered during our way here because of this picturesque scenery. I could honestly spend my summer days here, with this view, and not get tired of it at all! Could you just please take me back? :(

I spent most of the time lounging by the pool. We were lucky that although it's a weekend, they accept walk-ins and the place wasn't crowded at all. In fact, we were the only guests during that day and we have the whole resort all by ourselves.

Our tour guide let us explore the whole place including the rooms and cottages that they have for overnight stay and the amenities that they have in the resort. The one in the picture is the entrance to their villa which can accomodate 11-15 guests. They have a museum, restaurant, billiards area, hanging bridge etc. Every spot is just instagram worthy.

Here's to my "achieve na achieve" look after finishing the First Dental Proper year successfully and realizing how many unexpected good things God has blessed me with. <3

Another beach trip coming on the blog! Will give you an updated on my twitter and IG when it's up! :)
