Batangas Weekend

Photo dump of our family outing, once again, on Batangas for my niece’s birthday celebration! Too bad this will be the last time for this month. I hope we can manage to go somewhere next month cause Travelling is just fun!

Makiling Highlands

Last August 25th and 26th, my family and I went on an outing for my niece’s birthday celebration. It was held on Makiling Highlands Resort in Laguna. And here are some of the pictures I took during our trip.

My not-so-nice slide shot lol

We had a great time! Our laughter brought so much joy and life during those days. We even dominated one of the pool because of how large our family is and some of the swimmers had to transfer to other areas hahaha. And two weeks after this trip, we went on another trip again! (Which I’ll blog about later). I think this can be called my Summer Vacay since I attended summer classes last March up to May. :)

So last Sunday and Monday, my family and I went to Iba, Zambales at my aunt’s relative’s house. It was really planned at all, I reckon that unplanned trips are the best! No expectations, you just need to go with the flow and enjoy every moment! I definitely had a great time and forgot to bring my camera to some places, how stupid lol. Before the trip, I read that the weather will be bad and it really did, it rained almost our whole, approximately 5 hour, drive and didn’t even appreciate some of the views. We wanted to get out of the car to take pictures, but we can’t. Lesson learned, check the weather first before going on an adventure. Dad’s GPS was really helpful, we didn’t even ask for directions. :)

We planned to sneak a swim because the beach is just one cross away from the house. Sad news, the waves are crazy! Our faces didn’t even touch the water, we just felt the waves through our legs and feet. We did plan to be brave enough and go nearer but there’s this “navy” who told us that we must not risk our lives because there’s an “awiwit” which I had no idea, at first, what it was but I’ve learned that it’s kind of like a whirlpool where waves move in a weird way instead of just one direction (1D? Hahahaha).

Even the sand-castle-making of my cousins had to stop because Mom, who got super scared, told us to just go back at the house.

Excuse my armpit hair. Hahahaha!

Independence (Family) Day Photo Diary

Last tuesday was a non-working holiday so Mom told us that we’re going to SM Mall of Asia for some quality time. Everything went well, I bought my new school bag which I’ll blog about soon. I also end up taking pictures of the different views and stuff instead of family portraits, luckily Mom found a nice spot and I took their photos.

*sorry for my vain mirror shot lol*

Before heading back home we had dinner at Emerald Garden near my mom’s office, something unforgettable happened that night. My stupidity was the main character so I’ll make it as confidential as possible hahaha. The food was delish and, as expected, I ate a lot!

Fun bonding time with your family is always great isn’t it? Everytime we’re hanging out as long as we’re together and talk about awesome stuff… We always end up having a cool, relaxing, and memorable experience! Looking forward for my parent’s wedding anniversary. I hope they’re planning for something!!! :) How about you guys, how was your Independence Day?

Summer 2012 just started

My classes had ended last 29th of March and my family decided to head home here in Binangonan, Rizal for a couple of weeks, instead of more than a month, only because I’ll be having my summer class to lessen my stress for my last semester of my last year in college. Before leaving, I promised myself that I will fix all of my school stuff, together with my sister’s, so that I won’t be doing them again when we go back to Manila.

As soon as we got here all I do is bond with my cousins! Oh and yes, read Catching Fire, sleep, eat, and sleep lol. Here are some photos I took with them, look at how hyper some of them are! Jump shots are their favorite BTW. :)

Looking forward for more fun moments with these kids! They’re really cute and cool! :)

Tali Beach 2012

We went to Tali Beach, Batangas last January 2-3, 2012. This was our “pambungad” for the new year so I guess that this 2012 will be a lot of fun because of the way we started it! Arrived early and my cousin and I jog from the resort’s gate to the rest house and I thought I will have time to take my outfit shots but I was wrong, we just fixed our baggage then we run to the beach already, that’s how excited we were lol!

THIS WAS NOT THE RESTHOUSE where we stayed. THIS IS JUST MY DREAM RESTHOUSE that was located near our place. HAHAHAHA!

Not so much pictures because we enjoyed the whole day “swimming” hahaha. At night, when we’re all complete, we lighted some sky lanterns! As expected, it was awesome and exciting because it was my first time too! Luckily, we were the only people at the beach so everything’s so peaceful and quiet. :)

Slept early and missed out the fun of Bingo and ofcourse the drinks. Jog on the morning again then we took our last dip at the beach! Time worth spent because we did a lot of stuff, they even caught a big fish, and a starfish (which looked weird for me haha).

I rinsed earlier than my cousins because I got 2 wounds by walking on the rocky part without any slippers hahaha. I got the camera and these cute little kids so yeah we had a small photoshoot and after that, the unending family pictures!!! :)

It was really an awesome outing and I’m hoping for more! Sorry for the long scroll again guys. Thank you for my new followers and for those people liking and reblogging my post, YOU’RE THE BEST! :D

Ercia-Flordeliza Wedding! (part 2)

Here are the continuation of the pictures of my aunt’s wedding at Fernbrook Gardens last December 27, 2011. :)

After the ceremony, we went straight to the Byzantine for the reception. The place was so elegant that my mom forgot her paperbag with my sister’s shoes in it lol.

The best part for me, the flying of sky lanterns. :”>

The married couple entered with a cool dance of “Party Rock Anthem”, everyone enjoyed it!

The part I’ve been waiting for! Dinner! Hahaha. The emcee let us play a game, we need to answer if the given description is Mon or Judy, whichever table answers first wins and will be the one to fall in line for the buffet area. Exciting! Our table won on the 4th question so yeah, we were all starving so here’s what I got.

Picture of the perfect lemon butter flavored cake! :)

I’ve decided to end this LONG post with the family pictures with the newlyweds, here they are.

We really enjoyed that night, we congratulate Mon and Judy for a very great wedding celebration. :)

Ercia-Flordeliza Wedding! (part 1)

Attended my aunt’s wedding last 27th of December at Fernbrook Gardens. The whole event was so nice I got mesmerized. We need to be at Parque de Espana hotel to meet and we headed to Bellevue hotel for some family shoot with the legit photographers hahaha.

Arrived at Fernbrook quite early so my cousin and I had a little photoshoot hahaha.

And the lovely ceremony began, most of the visitors cried but I was too busy taking pictures and because of my not-so-comfortable spot,  my emotional side didn’t show up.

I need to cut this blog post because I have so much to share. Sorry guys, part 2 will be posted soon! :)
