Another long overdue blog post about our Camotes weekend with the bestfriend, Raffy. I did not have the time to make a good post about it until today. For the first time independent travelers (sure?), we really did have a trip of a lifetime. We had meetings, countless of them if I may mention and we even have a step by step process on how to get to the pier.
We agreed to meet at around 5:30 in the morning but then I had to buy coffee because we need coffee. So I arrived at around 6 am in the bus terminal and got worried we will not be able to ride on an air-conditioned bus. Yes. We are that specific!
When we got to the Danao Port, we were stuck for four hours because we did not buy a ticket ahead of time. Raffy and I were already irritated because it was too hot, it was smelly and the people were just going crazy. Thank God, we were able to buy a ticket for the air-conditioned seats or whatever you call it. We need to keep ourselves cool. We arrived at Camotes Port (i think that was San Francisco port?) at 1:45 pm and we have to scout for a motorcycle to bring us to the resort.
On our first day on the island, we basically got lazy. We had a dipped in the beach and enjoying the last minutes before it changes into low tide. We got up just after an hour because we got bored. HAHAHA. Then we do not know what to do after. So much for trying to be adventurous!
Our resort, Bellavista Resort, was just a few steps away from the famous Santiago Bay Resort. We wanted to see what makes this resort special so we decided to have an afternoon coffee and our dinner in their restaurant. And indeed, this was a cool place to stay in. Sadly, it was fully booked when we reserved a place to stay.
We also went to a small island called Tulang Diot. It was a 5-minute boat ride away from the main Camotes Island. The sand and the sea were surreal. It was lovely. We went there early in the morning and the water was just changing its tides. And guess what happened? I got stung by jellyfishes. I thought it was just itchy but then the constant itchy caused red marks on my skin and it turned into something that alcohol cannot cure. I had to suffer the red spots all over my body for more than two weeks by Physiogel saved me from worse irritation! haha!
That camotes weekend was fun! It was not filled with activities but we surely got the time to chill. We were able to talk about our life plans and even go over simple topics like drinking wine and loving reggae music. Another item ticked off from our #bffbucketlist and we are planning for the next adventure!
If you wanna know our travel must-haves, here it goes:
air-conditioned bus. We better pay big for transportation or get uncomfy!
good resort with personal CR! We can be your backpacker pal as long as you promise us good bathrooms. hahaha
brewed and gourmet coffee. oh please.. but instant coffee can be a lifesaver too!
good restos
white sand beach and we mean the sand that we step on when we dip in the beach. ahah!
Day three of my Manila trip and the highlight as well. Saturday was the day of the Max International Anniversary party at SMX Convention Center beside MOA. So since it was a business/party I chose to wear something smart casual. What I wore was a black romper and a draped vest. When I bought that black romper, I thought if you wear it, it would be uncomfortable and hot and surprisingly it wasn't. It was super comfy because its material is made of cotton plus it blended well with the draped vest that is super light as well. But then the lightness of the clothing paid off when I entered SMX since the aircon was in full blast, and yea, I felt really cold inside. Interlude: I also dropped by the Penshoppe Fashion Week too! Hahaha! Not really, the hall where our party was held was just beside the hall where the Penshoppe event was. So there were pretty girls and boys all around the center and man, they were tall (read: 6 feet and above). The legs are to die for and the body
Friday Night by chichonheels featuring a peter pan blouse Black and Gold. These two colors shine bright on a friday night out, don't you think? If you wanna go clubbing with your friends, then this one fits perfectly. It's chic and it's comfy. The Gold-colored jeans really intensifies the whole outfit, but the chiffon peter-pan collared top doesn't do any less also. And adding the Louboutin's spikey pumps, you just nailed down the outfit. To top it off just add some goldish and blackish accessories and of course a simple tote bag that would make you look like a new-yorker walking around 5th avenue. Don't forget the make up also, make it light on the eyes and add a dash of red lipstick for color. All I know is that one day, I'm gonna be in this outfit. That's it. No fussin. Love it or not. :)
Andy from stylescrapbook.com Emma Roberts Camille Co from itscamilleco.com Kryz Uy from kryzuy.com Summer days are almost over, so I'm getting ready for my academic outfits. I promised myself to change my fashion for this coming school year. Well, I'm changing for a number of reasons: one is because I don't wanna be an attraction in our campus, second is I don't wanna give an impression to people that makes them feel intimidated and third is because I wanna try a laid-back chic fashion for the whole of first semester. As much as I want to bring out the stylist in me, I have to hold back my creative outfits because it's not fit for school. The only remedy I have is to innovate my fashion but still with a touch of vintage (which has always been a part of my daily outfit). This time I opted for much simpler ones aside from my lazy days outfits that consist a simple shirt, jeans and a flat shoes or a my pair of vans. Like the Androgyny looks,
