A GOOD START TO ROCK THIS YEAR. WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU FEEL LOST.

It's been two weeks since New year and I'm feeling better. As this year started, we gave ourselves a second chance to start over and feel motivated to be better than our past selves. I myself actually felt hope that I will be able to fix my life this year - job, relationships (maybe) and independence. But starting all over again, how do you really cope up and keep yourself together?

Baler, Aurora

This was actually last November 2017 so this post is a little late. Also, this is my second visit for the same year. But even so, I want to share with you guys my experience in this wonderful surfing haven. I've been into surfing ever since La Union and after this I have been thinking about Siargao to be the next on the list this year but we will see about that because I am so broke right now that I will have to work all year round. Lol.

I'm good, just tired. How anxiety affects me.

Do you ever find yourself laughing and then the next minute you're just staring blankly into space? It's like your train of thought never stops and it travels everywhere. Floating mixed words and sentences trying to figure whether you should do this or do that. This situation has led me to be aware that this is more than just overthinking. It's a product of anxiety.

Tyler's Cafe

There's a lot of activities in my 2018 list and visiting new cafes and restaurants with my friends is one of them. Usually I go with Tina because we just agree on everything and besides, we are each other's photographers. We love cafes because we love to work, catch up and eat together so it's where we are most productive most of the time. We found this pretty cafe in Katipunan and visited it yesterday and this is going to be the first new cafe I tried this year. It will really catch your eye even when you're just passing by and here are the exterior and interior photos of Tyler's. You be the judge!

STYLING: SLIP DRESS + JUMPSHORT

Since jumpers are a thing today, I decided to share how I style them the casual chic way:

Marikina Food Hop: Urban Street

Marikina Food Hop: Milieu

Moving on from the unique Filipino dishes we had, I got so excited to have finally landed on the streets of Lilac where Milieu, our second stop, is located. The interiors of Milieu is industrial and very simple which gives it a manly vibe. It actually reminds me of sports bars where I can imagine people dining in and enjoying a Pacquiao fight with their ice cold beers.

Ilocos Trip Part V

This Heritage Village is actually one of the 14 finalists for the 7 Wonder Cities of the World and it made me proud, knowing that it’s from the Philippines. So I took the time to check it out and was so happy that I was able to visit Vigan City. Tito Alex’s friend dropped us off in the hotel so we could freshen up a bit and fix our stuff. We stayed in My Vigan Home Hotel.

Ilocos Trip Part IV

Early morning, we left Pagudpud Beach to head to Vigan in Ilocos Sur but we had a lot of stop overs as there are more must-see places in Ilocos. Here are the sites we went to:

Back to Etude

Since I brought my Aussie cousin to Greenbelt (chaperon mode), I went to Etude to find new beauty products to use. I noticed my skin adapts to products easily and different that even lotions make me dark when I use it in the morning. I’m acidic so there’s a lot of things to consider in buying makeups and beauty products.

Simple to Fancy

A simple bardot top and pencil skirt paired with a gold belt made it look fancy. I love dressing up so I find joy experimenting and mix and matching plains and prints.

The New StrEAT Concept

The new Maginhawa Food Park Streat has a really good business concept. Maginhawa now has a new place to chill with family or friends on a table or picnic blankets. There are a lot of food trucks to choose from, so when you're craving for something that you're still unsure of, going here might help you satisfy that craving.
