All Went Right

Sitting in a corner, I could recall
How you came up to me and again I fall
Yes, I still fall for you every single day
And every single night I pray you won't go away

Your jokes make me realize how I'm so lucky
You never allow a day to pass by and leave me lonely
You're my strength and yet you're my weakness
But most of the time, all the time, you're my happiness

I love our simple but sweet weekend dates
Even though the traffic caused us both to wait
Seeing you outside my door makes me tear up
Knowing you went all the trouble but it didn't make you stop

Sitting in a corner, I could recall
When a guy went up to me and said "hi, I'm Paul"
I knew it was you, the moment it had occurred
Because suddenly, all went right in the world.

Bae-guio

So a few weeks back, Paul and I went to Baguio. It was such a sweet escapade wherein we got to bond in a cold climate.. quite different from our island escapades where it's hot. Baguio is a very romantic place for me. The last time I was here was Christmas 2013 and I was with my family. I actually wished that Paul was with me that time.. and weeks ago, we had our "bae-guio" moment which was just so perfect! Sharing some of our pictures.

Wearing our GOT hoodies while having Japanese dinner before movie time!

With Coco! I guess this is a mandatory Baguio picture, eh?

We were actually very serious with our OOTDs right there. Lol!

Come here Coco, don't bite me Coco!

 Servin' some chinita realness (P.S. My eyes are like that when I don't have eyeliner huhu)

With Jake Cuenca (wahaha labyu lab!) Checkin' out if we can do the OOTD sideways. Paul has actually been trying to copy Jake Cuenca's no-smile look haha

This is from Chocolate de Batirol and it was so good! I had mine with mint + the suman. UHHH! I will definitely go back for more!

Inside Chocolate de Batirol - it was giving such a homey ethnic vibe.

Another take on the Jake Cuenca look please. Hahahahaha he's gonna kill me for this.

Yeah we ridin' dirteh.

And then not so dirty...

Are we out of the woods yet?

 Poor horsey, you get to carry something really heavy haha

I will update this post once I get a hold of the other pictures. But really.. I enjoyed Baguio so much and we had so much fun walking around the city with our thick clothes. We ate in so many places (mostly those that are ranked top in the Internet) and we shopped at the night market! It was so cheap and Paul really has this good convincing powers. Like I was ready to give my 200 for a pretty hoodie but when he talked, he slashed half of the price and I got it for a hundred! Man, we were in business there! Haha! Till more of our awesome adventures. :)

Hello Fitness

I never really dreamed of having a supermodel bod even if I adore Gigi Hadid so much. I only want my college bodehh to be back so I won't have a hard time fitting into my clothes (hahaha fatass!)





So when I had a realization that I CANNOT continue being like this anymore, I enrolled myself to the most homey gym I have ever been to. Homey perhaps because it is just super near my neighborhood and the people are so welcoming.
They have like the best equipments (even if these actually give me a taste of death) plus a pool which you can use for cardio. Here are some pictures from their Facebook account:

TAF Gym & Pool (TAF stands for The Acropolis Fitness)









Fact: Did you know that when you work out, your body releases chemicals (endorphins) that make you happy? (Hahaha.. may masabi lang)

After two months, I will definitely update about my progress. Hopefully I can encourage couch potatoes like me to get up and get your asses moving!

Be healthy, people!

Life Lately

Hey guys! I just back from a trip which I will be blogging about soon. It was a very nice experience and different from our usual sunny destinations. This time, Paul and I went to Baguio! That and my new healthy lifestyle + experiences in the gym will be up in my next post. Continue to enjoy the weekend guys!

Chubby

As much as the term is cute to hear, it actually annoys me when I'm called such! Haha. With the type of work that I do wherein only food can help me with the stress, one can actually get chubby or worse.. FAT! I have nothing against fat people. As a matter of fact, I love hugging them because they're too fluffy!!! I have 2 colleagues at work that whenever I see them (even if it's in a public place) I always hug them. Haha.
Anyhoo, I am not a tall person and if I will get any fatter, I might look like a midget! Haha. Thankfully, the gym gods heard my plea and opened a high-end gym + pool in my neighborhood! So boys and girls...I will definitely update after 1 month about my progress. I started last week and killed myself for 3 straight days and super deadly sessions. I will have to do it again before my vacay with Paul, which by the way, I'm super excited for!




I just want to share to you what my coach keeps telling me: "It's only you who will invest in yourself...make it a good investment."

Precious

So as usual, it was a pretty busy week again for me and not only me, even Paul is very busy. Due to our pretty tight work schedule, we rarely get to see each and it makes us miss each other even more. Now did I mention to you that he is just the sweetest? Well, he asked me out on a date last Saturday night and I thought it was just the usual dates that we do but no oh no..it was something else.

My sweetheart picked me up at home, blasted my favorite song and handed me this beautiful bouquet as I stepped in to his car. It was a very beautiful night that of course we enjoyed very much.

So guys...and even girls. Always make sure to make your S.O. feel special even though life could be stressful. A little thought like this can go a long way and making your girlfriend/boyfriend happy doesn't actually require lots of money. Ahhh, love is just amazing. And to Paul... I'm excited for our next getaway love! :)

Clue: It's a coooooold and beautiful place which I also really love!

Parking Selfie

Parking in Mckinley Hill is really bad, like really really bad. It would take me 1.5 hours before I could get in and enjoy my parking space. But before that, I would be stuck in my car headbanging to some loud music to keep me awake. But of course before I go crazy about the long lines, I do take selfies like most girls do! So here's my week-long selfie haha. Also, I got an email from a reader, who'd rather not make herself known, and asked me to show the things I usually bring with me in my bag. I did that like 4 years ago and I'd be glad to do that again. Watch out for my next post!:)
