Best summer ever.

I promised I will blog about the summer escapades that I had this year, but I am too lazy (or too stressed, blame it on my target this year) to post it one by one. Such a bummer (???) as I am, I decided to roll my summer escapades into one! As I am sorting my photos, I am surprised how I traveled from one place to the other! It’s just June and I’ve been to a lot of places already!! 

February 2012 Bangkok, Thailand

We celebrated our first anniversary in Bangkok! It’s actually my gift to him. I just wasn’t able to control myself that I informed him ahead of time. :P The highlight of our trip?? Elephant ride!! And of course.. endless cheap thrills!! We fell inlove with Bangkok that we are planning to go there again next year. (Hmm, I’m coming back this August with my best friend/another travel buddy for some serious shopping.hahaha)

We also visited a few temples. This is one of  my favorite pictures. Sawasdee ka!


April 2012 Tagaytay 


This is a recollection/outing. It is John’s choir mates who organized. John invited me and I tagged Lester along! Haha! My favorite part of the trip? Cheap massage and good food! I love John’s choir mates! they are all so nice to us.

April 2012 Puerto del Sol Resort, Pangasinan

Thanks to sites who sell “discounted” vouchers, we are able to stay at Puerto del Sol. This is just a quick weekend getaway. Thank God I was able to relax after a very stressful month! Highlight of our trip: mature realizations and ordinary long bus ride. (it’s fun! promise!:P)

“best” kayak experience. (so to speak.) hahaha.


May 2012 Bacolod City

We went to Bacolod to attend a wedding. John’s closest friend got married and I was able to visit some of the wonderful places in Bacolod. People are friendly, the food is really really awesome!

So of course we tried the best resto who offers chicken inasal. And yes, it’s really the best! Waaaay different from the inasal that we have in Manila.

They say this is our version of Taj Mahal. I really am mesmerized with The Ruins! We had our own moment there. hahaha.

Mambukal falls! Because we lack time and energy, we weren’t able to make it to the 7th falls. But I promise, when I go back, I will visit Mambukal and try my luck. :P

Some good friends that we’ve met there :)

The only picture that we have with the newly-weds. Blame it on too much lighting. Grrr.:P

 

May 2012 Puerto Galera

Last but not the last.. The trip that I had last week.. With one of my favorite travel buddies! Ghia (my best friend) with her boyfie Israel, and our forever tag-along friend Lester! Another short trip (weekend; overnight) that was planned long time ago.

We were able to maximize our day. Island hopping, snorkeling and food trip! 

Welcome to the good life!

The super fun part: we had a hard time looking for the best bar to party.. Ending: We decided to make our own party! This is one of the most epic nights ever!!:)

We actually had some really wonderful pictures taken there. Pre-nup-ish pictures. I am kinda hesitant to upload some of it though. But let me share one. (Just one.)

This is our version. Thank you Lester, you’re such a genius!!!

And Ghia’s version.

So I had the best summer of my life. My out of town/out of the country trips don’t end there. I still have a lot in line this year. And all I can say is that… All the things that had happened to me in the past made me realize that God really has plans for me. And I am so happy that it all happened. Ghia you are right.. Everything happens for a reason. <3

xoxo.

Intoy.

“Mahirap kalimutan si Jen. At mas mainam sigurong wag ko siyang kalimutan. Tuwing naalala ko siya, may sumusungaw na kurot, tapos nu’n ay ngiti. Kung minsan, nauuna ang ngiti saka susundan ng kurot. Siguro kapag dumating ang panahong naaalala ko siya at wala nang kurot, puro ngiti na lang, masasabi ko nang masayang chapter na lang ng buhay ko si Jen. Handa na para sa susunod na kabanata. Sa ngayon, hanggat magkakambal ang ngiti’t kirot sa tuwing maalala ko si Jen, wala akong magagawa kundi pagtyagaan kung anong naiwan sa akin.”

Summer fling.

I just can’t wait to blog about my summer escapades this year. I’ve been to different places all over the country and it’s all worth it! Now that I am typing this, I’m in Puerto Galera!(it’s nice to be back without those extra baggage (talk about those flabs!:p)) this might be the last for this month, but I still have a lot of out of town/out of the country trips this year. (if I can just be very rich and travel..)

More stories and pictures soon.

Xoxo

Another person whom I want to greet.. Mama Phine!:) jsyk, she is John&#8217;s super cool mom.:) she has been very nice to me, and she treats me like I am her child too. I owe a lot to her, for if not because of her, there wouldn&#8217;t be a person whom I am sharing my life with. I know she is an amazing and wonderful mom, for she raised a very respectful, loyal and sweet son. Mama happy mothers day! Thank you for helping us, for loving me and John, and for making me feel that I am part of the family.:) I am always praying for you.. :) John and I love you!!:)

I may not tell you everyday that I love you.. I may not hug or kiss you often.. I may not express how blessed and thankful I am to have you around.. But as we celebrate mothers day, I just want you to know that we are so lucky to have you as our nanay. I promise that someday, you will be proud of me. Thank you for being there, and making me feel that I will never be alone (especially during the lowest part of my loka loka life). Happy mothers day to my one and only nanay! I will not be who I am right now if not because of you. As I slowly learn the dos and don&#8217;ts of real life, I appreciate your pieces of advice more and more. I am keeping them in my heart forever. And as I grow up, the more I want to be like you. (well except the sungit part :p) Labyu nanay!!:):*

It has the power to brighten up someone’s day; to remind someone that she is loved more and more each day; to make someone happy… 

PS. It isn’t valentines, not my birthday, not our so-called “month anniversary” or even our anniversary… It is just one ordinary day, which you made really special.. (AGAIN.)

Here&#8217;s a tip to know if you are blessed with real and wonderful friends&#8230; &#8220;even if you see them less, you feel that they love you more..&#8221; I am really blessed to have these beautiful and real friends with me. We&#8217;ve been friends since high school and parted ways when we went to different schools and took up different courses. But despite these, we never forget. We&#8217;ve experienced a lot of up and downs. They were there for me during the highest and more importantly the lowest parts of my life to make me feel that I am loved. We&#8217;ve seen each other grow and mature. And now that we already have different priorities, it feels good to know that at the end of the day, we still have each other to hold on to when the going gets tough. I know I am blessed with a group of awesome (and gorgeous) friends to support me. And that is something I can forever brag about!:)
