Lazy Day with Paparazzi

 The little Miss wanted to watch a movie so bad and it was just perfect as I was long looking forward to bond with my sister. I was so lazy to dress up and we were under time constraints so I had to pull a look really quick. With the ever so unforgivable heat wave, I opted to don on a comfy combo of the generic blouse and shorts.

Can you guess what my peg was for that day? YAY! Stolen shots kuno! =D

 Sugar, Spice & Everything Nice Top | Pretty in Pink Shorts | Rojo Vivo Oxfords | Thrifted Bag

Aaaaand... here are some snapshots from Tom and Jerry's bonding ;)

I was Tom and she was Jerry but now, the tables have turned.

She's taller so he's Tom now and I'm Jerry.

I love how much she's improved in her taste for fashion. Though I still cringe at how she still digs Bieber and Hanah Montana, I calm myself by thinking that she'll soon outgrow her teenage fanatic years over not-so-worthy-to-be-fanned brats whose heads are way up in space.

mwahs and tsups,

Merry Christmas Swim Photo Diary + Review on Coconut Bay Beach Resort

 We checked in at around 9:30 PM and there was no one on the front desk! Turns out, the resort had their Christmas Party. Good thing they were so kind to give check us in in a breeze of time!

 Our Cottage =)

 I was amazed at how intricate the ceiling decor was. I can just imagine the amount of time spent in achieving this. I love the Pinoy feel of everything!

 We had a cottage big enough for four people for only P1, 100 with two matrimonial beds, a BIG bathroom complete with a bath tub! Talk about sulit!

Every time I am away from home with my girls, I am always the first one to wake up and say

GOOD MORNING NEIGHBORHOOD!

If you know me quite well, then I'm sure you're aware how much I love everything that offers calmness and quite surroundings. When we had a morning stroll around the resort, it kind of felt we had the whole resort to ourselves and I love it!

 See? There were almost zero people in the resort. But of course, they could still be sleeping at that hour.

 We are originally composed of FOUR girls but Steph wasn't able to make it. Hence the space in this photo intended for her. We are korny, yes! haha =D

Breakfast delivered to our cottage!

My say on our stay?

Well, it was good enough and the price was worth it.

All their staffs are really nice and very accommodating.

But then, I guess the resort needs renovation.

I know they have been in the industry for many, many years now

but I think that's not enough of an excuse not to maintain the resort properly.

I can still see the beauty of the resort despite the age that befall it

and all those beauty shouldn't be put to waste just because of poor maintenance.

Thanks heaps, Manong Life Guard for taking this photo! winks

If you have been reading my previous blogs, you might remember my post about one of my closest friends being one of the victims of Typhoon Sendong. Hanah wanted us to celebrate still and being the swimming addicts that we were, there was no  better option than to celebrate it with an overnight stay at a resort.

Our favorite EVER is Ridgeview Chalets at Xavier Estates but since we were on a tight budget, we opted to settle for something more affordable plus it was our first time at Coconut Bay Beach Resort too!

Looking forward to more swimming escapades with my girls (with Steph na jud unta!),

Dinner Date and Major Catch Up

Been dying to spend some time with my girls and finally, finaleeeeee, it happened! That was a night filled with major catch up, yummy food and love.

Dynasty Court Hotel's lobby. Their restaurant where we had dinner is located at the door to your left.

 Before the actual dinner, I first met up with Eliane. Majo is attending Law School and her class was due until 7pm so me and Eliane hanged out at Kiwi Swirl to pass the time.

 Kiwi Swirl serves the best Frozen Yogurt in the city, I swear! Plus, the decors on display which are all for sale added a plus cozy feel to the shop. details about Kiwi Swirl and their magnificent decors in my next post!

 We still had enough time so off we went to SM and killed the remaining time.

These are really wonderful Parisian lovies! I was intending to buy them gladiator flats but Eliane was rooting for the oxford flats saying it suits me better. I ended up empty handed coz I realized, we still had to have dinner and it was my treat. I got scared that if I bought those gladiators, I'd run short of money.

the view from our table

This was PICTURE PERFECT - if not for that gentleman on the background. We could use a little excuse me, please?

Majo was the sweetest! She bought us these mugs - friendship mugs! Thank You, Majo!

I asked the waiter what their Best Seller Fish Dish and he said it was this - Lapu-lapu with Sweet and Sour Sauce. And indeed, it deserves to be called BEST SELLER! Two thumbs up!

Stuffed Chicken Wings (but they don't look like wings!) Whatever. This was really yummy! I SWEAR!

At first, Majo refused to a pic with us here. There was baby Jesus and she is a Muslim. But after this photo, she really liked it! In fact, this is here current profile photo in her Facebook now! Thank's to Manong Security Guard for this! ;)

We had a stroll around DV Night Market to burn some calories and after bumping with some old friends and classmates, we decided to chill a bit before heading home. We realized we still haven't had our desert so off we went to The Sweet Shop. details about the cozy shop here
