#2017Memories

This year has left me with a lot of learnings once again and a question suddenly occurred to me:"Have I become one of the Titas of Manila?" Haha! But one thing's for sure: I've been adulting during ze year and it's never been easy! My priorities are driven for my career yet on the side, I managed to embark on a trip on my own and day-offs spent for family and friends ❤️ Here are my top 5 moments and you may click some picture below to read the full review.

5) 2017 FILMS.
The movies that made me laugh,surprise,"kilig" and...cry.lol I used to not cry in watching but films such as "Beauty and the Beast" and "Coco" had kept me teary-eyed.Though I was touched 'cause it was beautifully produced and yet I have watched these twice in the cinemas! And of course,who would not add Fifty Shades on the list?I can't wait for my fave love story to end next Feb.❤️

4)my newest inspiration.

I've become a huge fan of Maria Poonlertlarp eversince Miss U 2017 began. I find her as the prettiest beauty queen even if she just made it to ze top 5. Majority of her latest updates are in Thai but I really don't care (lol); Some of it have translations which made me like her more and I'm proud to be one of her Asian fans☺️ I hope she gets to tour Asia someday!


3)Nihao HK//Macau!
So this is how my family spent our summer this year: visiting the outskirts of Hong Kong and cruisin through Macau.I certainly enjoyed Macau from its street foods and casino spots even for just a day. While I strongly recommend HK as a go-to place for first time travellers.My 'nihao travel series' might continue next year as I go to Taiwan!



2)Britney Spears' Concert (061517)
Her songs will always be the anthem of a teenager born in the 90's.From the classic "Baby One More Time" to "Oops I Did It Again",I believe everyone could relate to those songs! Likewise, The concert was definitely worth the wait,and worth the expense. 'nuff said!



1)Goin' Solo!
My week-long trip to Osaka has been one of the best experiences I've ever had!❤️Truth be told,many people will always doubt the wonders of solo travel but prove them wrong! My brave soul has taught me to be more independent and even with the slightest mishaps I've had there,I was still able to visit a lot of towns around the Kansai area 😍 Ergo,I promise to come back soon! And this won't also be the last time that I will go on a solo flight. ;)




Lasltly,thank you to all who have been reading my entries! Some of my old entries are underconstruction so please bear with me.I'm finding time to retrieve my other photos and likewise, I assure y'all that I'll make more updates soon!

Japan Tales: The other side of Kansai

Part of my sidetrip on my vacay to the Kansai region was to visit 3 other towns aside from Osaka namely, Kyoto, Nara and Kobe. Last Oct.17th, I joined a 12-hr sightseeing tour by Limon Shinki Bus Tour. The whole trip was literally just sightseeing and picture-taking as you only get to spend for around 90 minutes per town so therefore, there's little time to shop for that matter.Haha

Anyway, we started at 8am from bus pick-ups at Umeda and Namba-OCAT. We were quite a mix of foreigners who joined the trip so they provided English and Chinese tour guides. Besides that,we were given our itineraries as the tour offers different packages like some do not include meals or others end their trip in Nara only. Mine consisted of having a set lunch instead of a buffet and journey to 3 towns. :)

Japan Tales: OSAKA!

Here goes my yearly travel in Japan! And this time,I fly to the Kansai region,Osaka! ;D

Le Start of My Birthmonth

It was my birthday last October 5th and as usual,I had 2 separate parties for my family and friends.Basically,my pre-birthday was spent with my crew friends at The Barn by Tipsy Pig .This was pretty much one of the most affordable bar&resto that I've dined into with very good ambiance!

Petite Trends: Mumuso

So I managed to find time over shopping lately inspite of reviewing and working (as usual) and Mumuso has been part of the stores that I often visit to. As most people know, it is a Korean shop that sells products at a very affordable price from cosmetics, electronic accessories and lifestyle items. Hence, here are some of the things that I bought.

(072717) strongER,togethER

After 342463 years, our department in the hospital finally pushed through on our team building (even for just a day!) We were divided into 2 since the ER cannot be covered by other special areas; I was part of the 2nd batch and our mini outing was held at Bakasyunan, Tanay. It was a 2hr-bus ride from TMC and unfortunately, there was a heavy downpour that time---but that didn't stop the fun spirit ;) The rain ceased a little when we got there due to the highest peak of the place. Pretty much, the venue offers a variety of recreational activities suitable for company outings whether it is for a day tour or an overnight stay.

going back to grammar school---the IELTS way

Almost every nurse in the country aims to work abroad and before they reach that rewarding goal, it is a prerequisite to take an English proficiency exam (commonly, the International English Language Test System//IELTS). So I took the academic module last June 17th at Novotel hosted by the British Council and gratefully, I passed 🎉

It's BRITNEY,b*tch! (061517)

This was posted on my IG story yesterday afternoon :)

The long wait is over as the pop princess hits the stage at SM Mall of Asia Arena!Well,who wouldn't resist going to a (could be) once in a lifetime show?'Cause this artist has been my childhood favorite before the dawn of my current idols ;) So I didn't mind spending a lot for a lowerbox seat---and of course,it was all worth it! a 9/10 rating for me ❤️

Nihao Hong Kong!

After 7 years, we're back in Hong Kong for the third time! Thanks to Fiesta Travel and Tours for our flight tickets :) We purchased it from a Travel Expo last February and their agency gave us a very good deal.However, we didn't go on a packaged tour anymore since we already went to places such as Disneyland and Ocean Park before.Our trip this time covers more on the Kowloon area in terms of sightseeing (and shopping haha!).

Macau for a Day,Takes the Money Away!

The second day of our trip covers a day tour in the 'Casino Capital of China',Macau! Well, I have been to Las Vegas last year and I surely believe my views would take a few comparisons. Though inspite of what is expected such as the casinos and each hotels' connecting malls, it is a must to explore the main square of this Portuguese-colonized country.

Random Musings

I wasn't telling about my activities lately apart from catching up on my travel posts.Generally I have been juggling over work and review all along. It was very difficult dealing with shifting schedules and going to review classes on most of my days off.I even have to cancel (again) my itenerary to the US this month! ;( So yeah, I'm bundled with my career priorities and hopefully ,it all ends soon! Anyhow I'm not really that workaholic since I still get to find time for leisure from online-shopping to movie marathons.I'm currently stoked on Lala Land and Fifty Shades Darker!And yeahp,I'll discuss that further later :)
A few weeks ago, I ordered a leather brown case for my Instax camera from @dealsonline.I bought it for P740 and it comes with a bunch of film stickers and a mini album.I was supposed to buy a film to them also but it was kinda expensive..though the films are very rare.You guys may want to check their online store for your Instax essentials. :) They also have their own app on Google Play for an easy-access to the store.

Here's a haul of my polaroid shots :)
Moving on with the movies, I have watched 2 big movies consecutively and the fangirl in me has risen again.Haha!Call me a bandwagon for watching "La la Land " 'cause it's a Golden Globe win.I became a fan of Emma Stone since then.She's so gorgeous that she and Ryan Gosling made a great pair on the film. I actually adore musical films like this that's why I really don't mind about the load of sing-and-dance scenes.My fav part was the moment when they were dancing on the mountain.The whole film's almost a 10/10 for me but the ending disappointed me (so I gave it an 8 instead). Yes, they didn't go on a happily ever after but the views can be split into 2 which can either be bittersweet or upsetting.It may be sad for Ryan to see her with another man after 5yrs of separation but on the other hand, it may be good seeing both of them successful to reach their dreams. Though in my opinion, it could've gone better if they were together. ;| As for FSD, I believe that my expectations were partially met! Well, it's good to see my Ana & Christian on the big screen again--and to see my favorite part of the series came in action was awesome.It's much better than the first since this was more captured from the book even most of the lines are taken there.Say,"I'm gonna be the boss' boss' boss?" But there are several twists from the movie which gives way to the final book,FSF.Hence,I can't wait for the final sequel next year! ❤️
These are just some of the activities that I've been going up for the past weeks. Sometimes I do take these as a way of distracting myself to move on from a past.'Cause yeah,even when that guy is a thousand miles away,my heart is still shattered from what he had done.But anyway,chickens will come to roost!
'til then!
