Mt. Pinatubo Trekking

First things first... I’m the realest. Loljk. No seriously. First things first,  haven’t been here for a long time. Gawd I even just saw this new face of tumblr for composing posts!!! Lol! I will try my best to share more again. Since it’s summer and have lots of travel already plaInned ahead!☺

So we droved the amazing Tarlac! To begin with, I was even having second thoughts on joining this trip! Good thing I pushed through. Because I will be missing out a lot!

So here’s the whole crew. They’re my officemates at City of Dreams!

From the jump-off, traversed the lahar field with this 4x4 ATV ride! I need rides like these in Manila. Hahaha!

Made a stop in the middle of the lahar field to take some photos. Can you believe these kids are just walking around the desert-like field? All I see everywhere was just sand!

And then we started trekking for 1.5 hours estimate.

Destination reached! BREATHTAKING!!! Too bad swimming on the lake was prohibited.

So I've been MIA for a couple of months since I started the employed life! Changing from student to being an employee was a bit odd for me at first. I realized that unlike before, I have more time to burn at the office and vacation days are gone. That gradually, you will have less time to hang with your friends and that family is the no. 1 priority. They also say that when you start getting money on your own, you will learn how to thrift and to only buy things that you NEED. But it doesn't work for me.☹

By the way, I left my old job and recently started working for another. They had me for only 4 months but opportunities come! I just hated the part where I leave them. I have issues with leaving.

I'm not sure if it's the 4th or 5th time we've been to this resort. My parents, same goes with my titas, love it here! We keep coming back and I don't wonder why.

I like taking photos of the beach. Can you tell?

Tan is in! Well, apparently in summer. Hence the fact that these photos were taken a month ago! Sorry not sorry :-)

So yes, I gave my hair a treat by having Brazilian Blow-Dry! It's not as flat as rebond but it just felt so healthy and I don't need to flat iron my hair every morning anymore! I'm planning on getting a hair spa every month to maintain this.

Photos taken at Benisa Beach Resort in Morong, Bataan. The resort was not even crowded at all given that it's peak season. So more chances of ootd for me! Hahaha!

Have you heard the news? NIVEA SELLS 50% OFF ON ALL THEIR PRODUCTS UP TO MAY 18! Upon knowing this, I immediately went to the nearest Watsons to my office and just threw every Nivea product I saw in my basket! Here's what I got.

If my schedule lets me, I shall make a review on some of these products! As we all know, Nivea is a trustworthy brand and I'm excited for the outcome of these items! (Nivea should pay for me promoting their Big Sale! Hahaha!)

I have tons of backlog blog posts. I'm trying my best to be more active but work forbids! :-( Ah yes, I started working already! My life officially ended since the 2nd week of April. Hahaha! I still have my weekends though.

Around April, we went to Tagaytay and checked in at Hotel Dominique.

My sister celebrated her 7th birthday at Philippine Ports Authority GAD center! Like other kids out there, she was also enslaved by Walt Disney's new princesses! Yup, Elsa and Anna from frozen. And my sister demanded that her pool party be Frozen inspired!

Instead of wasting my time at home being unproductive, I chose to be a supportive sister that day! I attended my younger brother's graduation at Century Park Hotel. I was the one who shall take photos when my brother together with my parents comes up on stage so I wanted to be in something I can walk around with. So yes, maxi skirt it is! It's dressy and comfy at the same time.

It felt good to see my former high school teachers again as they congratulated me for graduating college. Yes and it's all thanks to them!

What's under my toga

"4 letters, PICC. 1 word, Graduation!" Quoted from the Magna Cum Laude's speech. To be honest, I nearly teared up while upon hearing his speech. Everything he said was beyond realistic.

I was plainly seated there when my dad called me and said, "Tingin ka dito, ishot kita". He was on the second floor of the hall with his zoom lens on the camera. I just love this shot!

Nothing beats the feeling of waiting for your name to be called and climbing up stage. After the 4 year journey, this is finally it. Those tiring days at school, exhausting school papers that pile up, cramming, not meeting deadlines, arrogant professors, thesis, internships, examinations, school events such as Pep Rally, Paskuhan, acquaintance parties, etc. These has all come to an end. But it doesn't mean goodbye. Up till right now, I still can't believe that I'm no longer a student!

My wonderful parents who were there and never left!♥
