Twin lakes

Top, Jacket, Sneakers: Forever21     Shorts: H&M   Bag: Chanel


Have you ever been to Twin Lakes? Well, its my new favorite place because of the romantic ambiance! Last Holiday (August 31) my college friends and I decided to have a road trip in Tagaytay. First, we met at Tiendesitas and decided to take the short cut road from Nuvali to Tagaytay. No regrets in taking that road since there's no traffic plus it has a very scenic view. The weather is not so cold so as you can see I wear shorts. :p We also had the chance to take a picture at the old (haunted) Marcos' House and Memory Lane Restaurant. Twin lakes is one of the newest project of Megaworld Corporation. It is located in Tagaytay Road, Nasugbu Batangas.

Horseback riding at Tagaytay Highlands

Sweater, Shorts, Jacket & Boots: Forever21

I never thought that horseback riding was so fun! It was my new found love. At first, I was a bit scared to try it while we we're in Tagaytay Highlands but syempre na-peer pressure na naman ako. I can say this experience is one of those moments that I feel so alive. Grabe, I feel like I'll have an asthma attack but thank God it never happened. I just need to catch my breath after. Lol.

It was my second time in Tagaytay Highlands, but I'm still amazed to see this beautiful place. It feels like I'm in another country because of the fresh air. According to their website, Highlands is a world-class recreational & residential complex nestled amid the natural splendor & cool, unpolluted atmosphere of Tagaytay Ridge. With tons of exciting activities, plush activities, fine dining and Asia's most exciting golf course, Tagaytay Highlands is truly the ideal getaway haven from the hustle and bustle of urban life.

Stay Positive

Dress: H&M     Shoes: Solemate     Hair Bow: Dress For Chicks

 When I was in college, I remember one of my closest friend told me that she admire me for having a positive attitude in everything I do. Few years later my boss told me the same thing. He even say that I bring good vibes in our company. I don't know what did I do for them to say those things. I was really a laid back person. Always chill and relaxed. I never thought my "happy-go-lucky" persona will also experience this self doubt anxiety. Its hard to admit but yes I think I'm having a quarter life crisis. Its been months now since I started to notice that I am having doubts on my life (yeah Wtf!). Is this the life I wanted to live? Am I on the right track? Am I happy with my career? Do I provide enough for my family? When will I ever start investing? Saving? Questions like these and a looot mooore oveeerthinking drives me crazyyyy.
 Every time those crazy thoughts entered my mind, I always think of the things I already achieved. They may be little and not exactly what I wanted but at least I'm doing something to achieve my dreams. In a way, these crazy thoughts makes me more matured and makes me realize who/what are the important things I need in my life: (1) find my purpose in life, to live my life with passion, (2) family matters most, (3) saving and investing (4) stay happy and positive in life because worrying won't do any good.

Let me share with you one of my favorite quotes-to-live-by:
"All the water in the world can't sink a ship unless it gets inside the ship. Likewise, all the negativity in life can't put you down unless you let in."

Sometimes life gets hard but it's all just in the way we handle the situation. The way we accept things. Don't let something (or someone) ruin your day. Just stay positive and stay happy in everything you do. :)

Staycation at Crowne Plaza Manila Galleria

 
 
Dress, Bow & Bikini: Dress For Chicks   Shoes: Solemate   Sunnies: Forever21

I'm always at Crowne Plaza Manila Galleria for work so when my friends and I go there for an overnight staycation, I admit I wasn't that excited. To my surprise, it became one of my most unforgettable moments with my college barkada. We rarely see each other and our busy schedules won't permit us to have an out of town trip, so we think staycation is a better idea. Staying in a hotel within the metro is a great alternative for pricey, stressful travel. Crowne Plaza Manila Galleria offers an overnight stay with free breakfast buffet for two, free use of swimming pool and gym facilities, plus they have very friendly and accommodating staffs. Now that's a deal!

Tips for a great Staycation:
1. Book your stay in advance. (Who knows they might give you discount/vouchers for this.)
2. Plan the things that you'll do during your stay like swimming, spa massage, gym workout etc.
3. Take advantage of the free foods specially breakfast buffet, lunch buffet or dinner buffet. It will not only save you money, It will also makes your tummy happy.
4. Bring your family and friends with you.
5. Just relax and forget about your work.
