Sunday Currently

And there you go! Sharing my newly discovered way to keep up with my blog and to everyone who has been following my blog (is there any?:D ). As the title for this entry goes "Sunday currently", I'll be writing some things about my current situation. So to begin with, here it goes...

CURRENTLY

Reading different New York based blogs to somehow get inspired. I needed to be constantly impulsed to keep going! And I think by reading anything related to New York is a good idea. It's my dream country! 

Writing this entry! haha! Joke. But seriously, since I bought my planner last week, I can't stop blotting down some notes. (what a good idea to buy one 4 months before the year ends! haha)

Clicking my new Tumblr account. I made another one again this afternoon since I can't access to my old one anymore. But this time, I just wanna keep it for myself. It's more personal kasi. haha! So goodluck to anyone who care to search for it! :P

Listening CHVRCHES songs on spotify! I'M ENJOYING THEIR SONGS at the moment.

Thinking about my plans for my future! this thing has been bothering me for awhile now. I don't want to think about it but it just doesn't go away.

Wishing for another productive week ahead.

Hoping for better days.

Loving my instagram feed! I just changed it into pastel theme. Follow me here!

Wanting to go to the gym and burn all these unwanted fats in my body! I feel stout and bloated already. :(

Needing someone to take me to the gym!!!!

Feeling sleepy already! haha! Seriously! I ate a lot today. damn it! HAHA

That's it. Anyway, as for this topic, It's Siddathornton's blog that made me do it!

Intramuros, Manila

Exploring and seeing new places is always a good idea for me. It's one of the things I will never get tired of though long walks and beating the scorching heat of the sun is kind of struggle. Despite the pollution and endless traffic I'm just happy that I'm currently in a City where beautiful spots like Museums, Parks and Huge buildings are located. Not to mention, from this place I can also go to its nearby beautiful Provinces by land. Metro Manila, it is.

As someone who grew up in Province, "Probinsyana" as you call it, living in the Metro is one of the things I used to dream. Now that it turned into reality, I must admit that it's one of the things that I prayed to God. Reminiscing my 2 weeks long vacation here with my Family (Lola, Tito,Tita and cousins) two years ago, every church that we visited like in Tagaytay, Ilocos, Baguio I can tell that I uttered the same prayer, to get a chance to live a life independently in Metro Manila. And yes, it got answered! If you ask me why I wanted to live here when in reality, there is this annoying traffic, snatchers or anything worse than that that could happen, well my answer is simply, to experience a gradual growth that will help me to become more ready for my bigger goals and dreams and also, to fulfill some of my dreams here.(wow! beauty contest, te? lol) I have a lot and I'm so kilig that some came true already! But aside from all of that, I wanna see the other side of the city!

Manila Cathedral

For someone who likes to explore and spot beautiful locations without traveling far for hours and where you can relax and take instagramable photo, well, this City is for you. Notwithstanding being urbanized, it's good to know that in between the hustle and bustle, there's a place like Intramuros where you can experience the old-fashioned way of  riding a Calesa while simultaneously sightseeing different museums inside the district. It's my second time to visit the place and still, I'm amazed by its beauty. So yes! here's my takes. Boyfriend and I wasn't able to see everything. As you can see, I'm wearing heels! I don't know what's with me that I wore that stuff on that day when in the first the place, I knew already  that I'm going to walk thousand of miles that day! haha! blame my boyfriend for not bringing my extra shoes just bcos it's filthy daw. lol! I WILL DEFINITELY COME BACK. ON SUNDAY or nextweek! *NoRainPlease

75.00 entrance fee to Fort Bonifacio (I will share another post about it soon) 

This dress and heels is exactly what I wore during my guesting on Modern Girls :)

Whipped Sugar Wax and Body Scrub Salon experience

Keeping ourselves well-groomed is one of the things we should look after everyday. Aside from taking a bath and all other proper hygiene practices we do on a daily basis to make us feel good, it's way more comfortable knowing that those areas in our body where unwanted hair are growing are also being removed especially if you are someone who has this physical attributes of being hairy.

 As for me, it's one of the challenges I have- Hair removal. Since I have a shaggy leg and underarm, I make sure that I should have those hair removed regularly so I can walk or raise my hands anytime with confidence. So yes, to keep up with that I have to take them off in the most convenient and possible way I know which is shaving. Yes, I use razor like that which is really a no no. Ask me why? Simply because it leaves your skin rough and wounded. Not to mention, you won't also be able to  remove all those hair from the root. Luckily, I found a new way to take all those insecurities away which is by Waxing and no! it's not the usual waxing that everybody knows, it is not the one that is painful. Sugar waxing I should say. 

A combination of Sugar, lemon and warm water. All natural. :)

Few weeks ago, I went to Fairview Terraces to visit and try one out of 3 branches of Whipped, it's a sugar wax and body scrub salon.  It was my first experience to submit myself in places like this. And it's awesome to have it with them. The staffs are very welcoming! As soon I entered in there pastel colored salon, they greeted with me with their pleasing smiles. 

In regards with the procedure, I had this Caramel Scrubbin in my underarm. In other term, I had my underarm hair from the root removed through sugar wax in a gel form which is not sticky to the skin. I thought it's painful but man, the staff was awesome, she had it all removed without me feeling disturbed. She pulled those hair out bit by bit until the only thing that's left are those tiny hairs that she removed through tweezers. I can tell you now that my perception about waxing has changed. From being time consuming to being painful, now I think about it in opposite way.  At Whipped, they make it easy, convenient and less than what you think is painful. And also, you get to know about the procedure since the staff shares about how it is done or what makes it better compared to other types of waxing. Just like what I said, it's all natural so worry no more from getting rough and darker skin.  

 So yes! I must say that the whole experience was imposing. I will surely come back to try another procedure. They offer variety of sweet services and it's affordable!

What's up with me lately?

Have you been in a situation where you dream becoming a Princess, a multimillionaire or simply someone who just nailed her dream job? Have your imaginations took you to another place where you forget about the current situation you're in? And somehow, Are those pictures you captured in mind came into reality? Well, tbh, it may sound unbelievable but yes! Anything could happen so be careful what you wish for! :)

So to answer those queries and make up for my more than a week absence, here is my new entry sharing some of the events that took in their place many days ago. Events that I thought will only exist in my mind

June until the second week of July has been a joyous and challenging ride for me. Never did I imagine in a span of 6 weeks, a lot could actually happen, in my life at least.  So to share some of them, here it goes:

First, I got invited to be a guest on a TV Show. 

Yes. You read it guys. Until now, I still feel a bit of giddy each time I remember that day we taped for one of the Modern Girls's upcoming episode. I have always been dreaming to be seen on TV but I never really thought that in just one text, one recommendation by a friend, just like that it could happen. Man, the feeling I felt when I passed the board examination was exactly the same feeling I got when they called me. I was so high and feel like crying at the same time. #OverwhelmingJoy it is. I'll be sharing about it in a separate post. :)

Second, when someone from Marketing department of a company/business unexpectedly contacted and collaborated with me to be part of the influencers/ambassadors of their brand. As someone who just started or giving her blog another try, it really feels so good to be recognized especially now that there are also other many bloggers out there who managed to established their own names already. It was indeed a good idea to follow your heart sometimes. I was just dreaming this before but now, it actually on my hands. Not to mention, I had my first session with them already. I'll keep you posted on that! :)

Lastly, in regards with my career as a Nutritionist Dietitian, I'm so happy that the company I'm currently employed to appreciated all my efforts and look beyond my shortcomings to let me be in their top performers and give this another opportunity to remain part of this new project. Few weeks ago, I won't deny the fact that I felt some anxiety about being not selected but thank God, out of 60 only 29 of us are left. That scared me to death because I was not really anticipating such changes since I signed my contract but then no more worries now, I'm in! :)

And that's it! For now, I'm just completely happy that the universe is currently turning in my favor and seeing that those I just prayed before are really happening now, I have no time for negative things, Sorry! :) True enough,by just keeping the faith and believing yourself despite the doubts of others, you can go somewhere. :)

What I wore in Pinto Art Museum

Before another weekend hits, I just want to share some snippets on what I wore last week during our getaway in Antipolo  with my new found friend. Aside from attending her goddaughter's birthday, we decided to visit Pinto Art Museum/Gallery. I learned about this place online and I had to say that this place is really beautiful as those pictures I saw on Instagram. When we were there, I must admit that we arrived a bit late to see everything that you can find there. I missed some spots that I should have my camera captured. However, this calls for a comeback! I make sure that I will be taking more pictures and take a look of those spots I haven't seen yet and yes, another thing I will not definitely go there during weekend or holiday or else my photos will be filled of photobombers. Last time I checked, I encountered a very self-centered insensitive couple who terribly overused that one spot where some people including me waiting for it to be emptied but it seemed like the girl who I deemed was having a bad hair day or maybe just don't look good on her photos relentlessly asked her very supportive boyfriend to take countless photos of her. *rollingmyeyes  Advisory: Don't be too insensitive in public that will make people around you cursed you to death. :)   

There you go! Off-shoulder and skirt is my choice of outfit at the moment. Showing my barely naked shoulder brings me a sexy and girly vibes. And I couldn’t be more comfortable than wearing something romantic, simple but chic outfit. To make it more sweet, I decided to pair it with choker, hat and laced shoes! So that's it!

Bag of Beans, Tagaytay

Each time I visit a particular place, aside of the attractions it has I always look up to restaurants, coffee shops and anything alike that could actually offer me another experience that will not just feed my mind or soul but also my never-been-full stomach. (lol) When I was in Tagaytay, other than seeing its beauty with my special one I thought of dropping by in one of their famous coffee shops there.

Bag of Beans is a bed and breakfast wherein they offer A la carte and buffet menus to everyone. I first saw it online when I was searching some places to go other than sightseeing the famous Taal Lake. Some people who are talking about it shared about the coffees and other specialties they have. One thing that really captured my attention was when I learned that they serve this kind of cheesecake that is different from other coffee shops. If you are someone who knows me well, you would know that I'm such a sucker of that dessert that I even made myself more than once just to satisfy my cravings. So as soon as I read their positive feedback about the food and the place, I see to it that I included it to our itinerary.

And so after our quick stay in Picnic grove, we went to their one out of four branches. It's located in Aguinaldo Highway where you can also wait and ride a bus to Manila. The ambiance there, just like any other coffee shops I've already been to is relaxing. It's just that Bag of beans got something that connects you to the nature since some part of it is open which makes you feel the cold Tagaytay weather. Not to mention, we also also got a glimpse of the Taal lake while satisfying our stomachs of their delicious creamy Cheesecake and sipping their special barako that just makes our stay more special. As you can see, it's a perfect dating place for sweethearts. It was a fairy tale like feeling to experience such scene with someone I dearly love. Cold weather, pleasant smell of the coffee and the sound of birds singing around, Perfect. We will surely comeback!
