summer edition

...2 days ago i heard it from the local TV that summer officially started and i just thought i started it way too early - from spending the weekend at Imperial Palace to Boracay the week after...i'm now in the process of getting my skin tone back to where it used to be...i find it funny sometimes to see myself in the mirror looking way too dark :)

...and since it's summer, everyone needs something colorful, light and breezy so i got myself the perfect scent for the season - Diesel's "Fuel For Life" - summer edition :) i checked Rustan's earlier and it won't be available locally until early April :)



...i have been obsessing about the original Fuel For Life when i get to smell it the first time...and to have something of a lighter version that's perfect for daywear is just absolutely wonderful...i'll probably be using this daily till summer ends :)



...what's your favorite perfume/cologne for summer kids? suggestions? if you can find something better than this then you are a genius...but then again we have different senses so to each his own :)

the big chill!

...a deluge of beautiful strangers, sun-kissed skin, smell of sea breeze in the morning with the company of good old friends - that's just how i spent my weekend :) and i don't want to talk about the food coz i'll have a hard time stopping for sure :)







...Boracay's what i badly needed to anticipate for this coming toxic workweek...we have a client on site and i know it's going to be super busy...pleasure before business first as usual :)



...i'll be back in this lovely island by April but as of now, i need a new haircut and a new hair color, a diamond peel session and 1 big carton of Likas Papaya (i heard it does wonders!) hehehe

....summer officially started yesterday, and if having Starbucks by the beach is not perfection then i don't know what is :)

love weekend

...i got a love fix a day before V-day when i attended the wedding of one of my agents...it's always nice to see two people in love really happy...the garden reception was even too way romantic for my own standards hehehe :)





...spent Valentine's day cooking pasta for friends and did some sight seeing of couples holding hands while having coffee...sweet :)

never again

...there was a reason why LBC/UPS/DHL was created - and that is to make sure that when you talk about Express Mail/Delivery it means express in the most literal sense...unfortunately, people from the post office don't know what the word means

...my friend who recently came back from her short vacation in Japan (i'm super jealous), sent me something from Calvin Klein as pasalubong...but instead of having it sent over LBC, she was possessed and decided to send it through the post office...and that screwed up everything...it took us both multiple phone calls to do a follow-up on it's delivery

...my last resort was to go to post office and made a personal follow-up and only after that i was able to get the package...psot office system here sucks bigtime...it's like going through HELL!!!



...good thing i didn't get to the point where i have to throw a bitch fit...a little intimidation was all i needed (a lil' American accent works wonders hehehe)

...thanks Ble for the gift..i needed something classic and this was just perfect..and the collector bottle is a super plus :)

suite and wet

...i ended up having an unplanned getaway last Sunday when me and my housemates decided to go to Imperial Palace - it's a new waterpark resort and hotel in Mactan...the pictures posted in their website were worth checking out so we went to see the place and plan for a day tour

...the first thing i saw in the carpark when we got their was this beetle that was an exact replica of Herbie...i knew i have to take a picture right away and channel Lindsay Lohan...damn! i left my leather jacket - i'm sure it will make the picture perfect!



...the place was surprisingly HUGE...bigger than my usual fave Shangri-la..and their waterpark was interesting enough that i was instantly turned into a little kid getting excited to try all of the good stuff my eyes have seen...can i just say wet, wet, wet in the most literal sense? I LOVE IT!!!







...we ended spending the night at the hotel...and oh boy, what made it perfect was we were upgraded to a suite room with the same local rate you pay for a regular roomm...i'll say it again...PERFECT!!! hahaha





...and ow, did i mention that the view outside was equally perfect? :)



...i'm now seeing tan lines and i know i'll get much more when i hit Boracay next week...summer's officially starting kids! :)

stupid

..i did one bad move 2 days ago, so stupid that i still can't get over it...i tried updating not only the software version of my iPod touch but also the firmware which equals to getting all of my songs deleted

...it's an old iPod i know but i love it to death...it's my ultimate life support for all of my lunch breaks and all those me-myself-and-i moments at work...and now i'm going to rebuild it, starting with more than 3000 lost songs, playlists that ranges from old high school stuff to freshest unreleased cuts

...the price you have to pay for being a happy clicker...i just wish i can get close to as what it used to be...but i know it will take a VERY long time to do that :(

toxic

...work for this week is a bit toxic coz we got clients visiting the site till Friday..so no slack allowed (not that i'm saying i do when they're not here)...i got 2 more weeks to spare and we'll have another client visit and a quarterly business review after that (i might be heading to Clark for it)

...i wore the jacket i've been obsessing the last week earlier in the office...took a few shots to take my mind off from work for a while :)





...i can't wait for Feb 15 to come coz i'll get to finally see Percy Jackson on the big screen..i'm a super fan of the series and hopefully this adaptation won't disappoint :) i'm suoerduper excited!!!!
