To Do

Hooray for my very first blog post for this year! I know holidays are now over and so do our expenses. Haha. Just so you know, you're not alone and I feel you. :)

Since I'm saving some money for myself, I usually start my days right by wearing the old but still good to wear clothes and worn out shoes then start to plan out what I should buy. We, fashion lovers, should target only those clothes and shoes that every fashionable lady must have. Because the possibility of having a fashion dilemma would decrease if almost all types of clothes and shoes would be in our closet. 

This Monday, to start my week with the feeling of being beautiful, I opened my wardrobe and I chose a dress that I have been worn multitudinous times but still...looks new. And look what I've got!

This ensemble was inspired by my own wardrobe pieces and my love for the combination of white and gray.

I went up for a casual dressed up style. In my outfit, I chose a gray short sleeves from Tribal which has been an item I’ve fancied buying last year. I love wearing short sleeves because it is a universally flattering sleeve that most people wear regularly. Unlike any types of shirts, short sleeves are quite comfy. I paired this to my low-rise shorts which in turn adds volume to my body. And to make my outfit completely on trend, I used my doll shoes as a substitute on my thin heels. With this, I have no fear of wobbling!

Outfit: Tribal short sleeves, low rise shorts from Dollhouse, Shubizz golden doll shoes,PinkBox white pearl earrings and Avon bangles.

I can't describe how much Tanauan means to me. I was born here and I've lived here my whole life. I have many best childhood memories centered in this place. I am surrounded with the people and things I like and there was never a dull moment. 

I remember the days when my family and I had  our three-week vacation in Nasugbu, Batangas. After two days of staying in this place, I used to start longing for our home. I already miss the smell of my bedroom, the softness of my blanket and of course my playmates.  I also started to miss the playground in our subdivision, the park where my mom and I used to spend our time after school hours, the "manang na magtitinda ng ice cream" and our club house. Truly, Tanauan seemed to have something special that set it apart from all the rest.

But, in my eighteen years of being a resident of Tanauan, I've never been in Tanauan Event Center. That place seemed to be not exclusive for ordinary people, therefore I didn't make any choice of visiting it. But, as what requirements in our school need, I tried to go on this place. I want to share my exploration on the place I've never been. (Yes. "I'VE NEVER BEEN" even though it is just a walking distance from our school)

When I reached this place, I saw different kinds of paintings inside the hall(Tanauan Event Center). But when I asked a man if I can capture the hall or just the door, he refused to agree. That's why, I just had my picture on the entrance. 

My next stop over is in Darasa, Tanauan. This is my newly found river. (I don't know the name of this river.)

After a hard day's work, nothing is more refreshing than a quiet walk along the riverside. The sight of this river have a peaceful effect in my mind. Every sight and sound inspires a spirit of rest and peacefulness. I enjoyed the rippling surface of the water and the birds singing their delightful notes in the trees. 

And finally, when nighttime and darkness is starting to set, the air is crisp and calm. While walking on this place:(A lane going in and out the river)

I think of a place in where I can capture a sunset. And with just as easy as counting one to ten, Soledad Park in Darasa came to my mind. Upon reaching the place, the sunset presented a spectacle of majesty and calm beauty. 

 I look up into the remote distance. How vast and wondrous the sky is! All the oranges, reds and yellows flow together to create a stunning picture that dives into the horizon. For me, it keeps going on forever in which the world will never end. 

Spinach Artichoke Sandwich x Chestnut Macchiato

My sister and I went on a massively long walk in Tagaytay looking for a cafe. The sun was gorgeously bright and the air was crisp and too cold.  It was one of those rambling walks where we didn't have a destination in mind. Eventually, we reached Starbucks. Just like a regular shop, we walked to the counter and ask for our orders. The menu includes sandwiches and beverages ranging in quality from OK to incredible.  

Before we sit, we brought our orders with us. We chose to sit on a coffee table to feel more comfortable and to relax our feet from immense walk. When we are about to eat the foods we ordered, a feeling of excitement reigns. 

I was not able to drink coffee until I had a really good cup. I started with Chestnut Macchiato. Chestnut Macchiato fills all my senses. It is mouth watering, creamy, luscious and satisfying. Truly, it has a quantity of quality. 

Next, it took me forever to figure out what is the best sandwich. Obviously, when I tasted Spinach Artichoke Sandwich, it is super cheesy and rich. The sandwich's presentation is attractive, tempting, pleasing and likable. In addition, it is also healthy because it incorporates a good amount of vegetabes.  

"At first time, I can't believe it either. But the Gods of Olympus, are real. And sometimes these Gods have children humans called half-blood. I'm one of them. I'm Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, God of the Sea."
