So my summer classes just ended and I have 1 week of vacay which I’m spending here in Rizal. I was so bored this afternoon that’s why I’ve decided to come upstairs and take some shots. I was kind of surprise after seeing all of them, I didn’t expect that I can take pictures this way. I just need time, lots and lots of it, a great light and a cool view then I can do this regularly! Now I am really craving for a 50mm lens! I wonder when will be the time I can finally have it, can’t save for it though because I have more priorities, specially now that I’ll be in my senior year which basically and mainly means “career”.

May 25th Photo Diary

Went to SM Megamall to buy some groceries and had family dinner at Racks. Here are some photos from yesterday. I am no professional photographer, just want to share stuff with you guys :)

Last friday night, while waiting for my parents to pick me up at SM Megamall, I’ve decided to go to Cyberzone and look for new earphones because the apple ones which I got from my sister were acting up lately and the quality was starting to sound crazy. They’re not “in-ear” too which is a bad thing, I think, for me. My real plan was to buy those who cost like 300 bucks below but then I remembered that the pair, the cheap one, that I bought lasted for like two weeks. Good thing I saw this Philips pair that looked nice, they’re in-ear and they’re pretty cheap but branded! I texted my mom and asked if I can borrow money because my budget for last week was ruined, luckily she said yes and that’s why I bought it!

It comes with extra pairs of ear plugs, I picked color black because it will really suit my red iPod! At the very first time I tried them… I fell in love! They also got a 6-month warranty which is just awesome!

Another worth-it summer purchase! How about you guys, what are the cool things that you bought this summer?

The Coffee Beanery Unlimited

Last night, my friends and I went to Shangrila mall to try the unlimited cakes and coffee of “The Coffee Beanery”. For just 200, well if you’re their facebook fan you’ll get it for only 150 bucks, you’ll get to enjoy their awesome cake choices and hot or cold brewed coffee! How awesome right? :)

So when we got there we felt more excited by seeing how beautiful the place looks, we honestly had second thoughts because we’re not really sure if the promo was legit because 150 pesos is such a small amount for a place like this. Thankfully their hospitable crew, which we secretly called Mr. Congenialitybecause he’s cool like that, managed to explain the promo and took us into our table.

The place was really nice and the ambiance was just perfect plus the relaxing music of the mall added to the very inviting mood! Cravings, which is located beside The Coffee Beanery, also caters different salads! We really can’t wait for the cakes and Mr. Congeniality asked us if we would get the cakes of our choice or assorted. Because of too much excitement, we didn’t really look at the menu a lot and answered assorted right away. We were 5 so we’re served 5 sweet cakes and 5 glasses of cold coffee (you can choose Hot Coffee too)! My friends were really starving so I wasn’t able to take pictures of all the cakes, I only managed to take 3 out of 4 slices I had, yes I was hungry like that lol

This is the Custard Cake which is my FAVE-O-RITE! Not too sweet and you can really taste the creamy icing!

Their Dulce de Leche cake was nice too but I’m not sure if it’s too sweet or I just love the first one that I ate but fairly speaking this is a definite must try!

The 3rd one was the Choco-Caramel with Pastillas, I LOVE choco-caramel flavored cakes like seriously speaking, I LOVE THEM! The only con here, I think, is the missing pastillas that’s why the white icing kinda look like there’s a hole where the pastillas should be placed. Luckily my friend let me taste the one that’s in her cake and it just completed the loveliness of that slice!

On our 4th and last set of cakes, we felt really full and two of my friend just ordered hot coffee, which I didn’t have the chance to taste it because as I’ve said I was unexpectedly full. While waiting for our friend who took like forever just to get to the place, the 5 of us just started having pep talks, too bad for her because when she arrived, she was the only one who was eating.

Overall it was a great experience and an awesome treat for our sweet teeth and tummies! So I would like to say a big THANK YOU for The Coffee Beanery for those amazing cakes and coffee! Now if you want to have the best time ever, just go look on their facebook page to know more details and promos, remember if you’re a facebook fan you can have a discount on their unlimited promo so please do like it and you’ll never be sorry! :)

New in

I promised that I’ll blog about the stuff I bought last 5th of May due to my mom’s generosity lol. I really enjoyed entering my favorite brands shop and getting atleast one or two items! Let’s start with the shorts and pants.

The red one is from Penshoppe and the blue is from Bench. I’ve been wanting plain colored and knee-length shorts!

Brown chinos from Bench and Skinny Denim pants from Oxygen. Brown chinos are really in for this summer and I can’t wait to wear them!

Finally! I saw a Philippine Flag Shirt from Bench! I’ve been eyeing the stars and stripes and the UK flag but I told myself that if ever I’ll see a Pinoy one… I’ll definitely grab it!

Mom’s budget is not for Forever 21 but she still said YES when I asked her, jokingly, if she can get this one. Love you mom! :)

Polo shirt and Checkered Polo from Penshoppe!

And ofcourse shirts from my favorite brand since highschool, OXYGEN! Love the stripes one and the black photography too! Their all worth it! I can’t really wait to use and wear them. Hopefully my lack of outfit posts will be minimized because of these cool things! :)

Summer Purchases

My parents allowed me to bring my camera back in Manila! Yay! I want to share what my recent buys are. I bought this Oxygen sunnies a couple of weeks ago and they’ve been really really helpful especially that my last class ends at 2pm, I just wear ‘em and feel okay while on my way home.

Last week, my silicone cassette iPhone case was looking old, yellowish, and sad so I’ve decided to go to 168 Mall in Divisoria and look for a cool case. Unfortunately, iPhone 4 and iPhone 4s are the stars of the store! Almost all cute cases are only for them, I own a 3GS by the way. After hours of searching, I finally found this Kate Spade case with black and white polka dots design. Didn’t have any regrets and paid for it! It’s not a silicone one so that’s another thing, jelly cases are somehow better! :)

Yesterday, my Mom showed how she really love me and how sad she is when I wear all my oversize shirts and pants ever since I reduced my weight. I was really hesitant and shy at first but then I realized I really need them to look better and for my very seldom outfit posts hahaha. First on the list is this Leather bracelet that I’ve been eyeing for months. It’s kind of hard to put on my wrist, I actually need help, but it was worth buying!

I enjoyed shopping with my mom, and I tried my best to minimize the budget she said and bought 2 pants, 2 walking shorts, and 6 shirts from my favorite brands (which I’ll blog about soon)! Can’t wait to use them and finally “wear-my-size”

Dose of Inspiration (DOI) #3

I’ve been really busy with my summer class due to the fact that one of my professors is too much to handle lol. I just also took my Certified Bookkeeper examination last 29th of April. Another reason of not posting anything because I left my DSLR at Rizal because I am the only one here in Manila and mom won’t allow me to bring it. Being this hell busy doesn’t excuse my addiction surfing the web and as expected, I found cool photos that inspire me in terms of Fashion, Photography, and in Life :) Here they are!

First of all, I am sorry for the photo spam hahaha. Went to Enchanted Kingdom with my friends last April 12. I think that will be my last outing or getaway for this summer because I am attending summer classes (advanced-taking subjects not failing subjects lol). Had a really great time, fortunately it’s a weekday so the place was not so crowded we actually waited for like 10 minutes or less to take a certain ride. :)

Time to go, my expectation for summer classes are ruined because of one of my professors! Busy busy busy! Hope you guys are having a great vacation! :)
