Date with Mama: BORACAY 2014

I really don't know how this blessing came but it happened on one of the scorching afternoons, I was thrilled when my mom suddenly asked me if I want to go to Boracay with her and her friends for this summer. *MIND WENT BLANK HERE...hahaha before I immediately blurted out a big, fat, juicy YES! My excitement was understandable because it will be my first time to see the wonders of that internationally acclaimed, highly recommended white sand beach. 

Boracay  is a small island in the Philippines located approximately 315 km (196 mi) south of Manila and 2 km off the northwest tip of Panay Island in the Western Visayas region of the Philippines according to Wiki. It is a shame, I know, for a Filipino like me to miss out going to an amazing place like that but I do know that there is a time for everything. This summer was mine!☺☼

I just want to share some of the photos I took with the BB cam.

My flight to Boracay. :) Cebu Pacific Air

After arriving at Boracay Airport at the main land, I needed to take one of this boat rides to Boracay Island itself. It probably took me about 15 minutes. Adventure starts here

Mama fetched me at the port. :) She arrived a day earlier than me. Haha!

We stayed at the Elizalde Rest house :)

YEY! I finally made it! :) This was taken at 5pm. I loved the colors of the sky, blues, purples with hints of pink and orange from the setting sun!

Of course I needed to pass the opportunity of having the typical Starbucks, Ice Monster. Instead we ventured in trying out the fruit shakes! 

Here are the 2 mighty competitors that both claim to be the BEST FRUIT SHAKES in Bora. :)

Try this stone-oven baked thin crust pizza from CARUSO. :) This is heavenly!

Finally, dine in an authentic Thai resto located at D Mall. :) I am super lost for words when I tasted the rice with pineapples and chicken, the curry was delectable! Plus the papaya salad was refreshing and totally tasty! 

I would just like to clarify that my whole stay in Bora was dedicated in swimming, EATING, and shopping. :) I would try the activities like island hopping, helmet diving, etc. when I return with my friends.

You might boo me at this point but I really did enjoy the other side of the adventures by trying out the different restos and food kiosks the island has to offer, relaxing by the beach, stargazing, and walking by the beach at night. This vacation for me was relaxing and allowed me to listen to nature's silence. 

More from me soon! :)

my 2013 update!

Hello everyone!

I really missed writing for my blog! T.T Please forgive me if it took forever to once again update my posts. I have been really busy in school. Med life is challenging and at the same time wondrous for me. I became so focused on studying because I would absolutely want to become a good doctor in the future.☺♥

Alright! So much for my introduction, this post will be about my 2013 (since it was the year I stopped blogging). WARNING: this will be a lengthy post but please try to bare with me until the end. Thanks!

 Since my last posts about the upcoming Our Lady of Fatima Parish, Bangkal, Makati, fund raising activities were known, I am pleased to inform you guys that the OLFC Concert was a BIG success! Thank you for everyone who came and cheered for us. All the proceeds were donated in a church in Iloilo, for the rehabilitation of their parish community from the super typhoon Yolanda.

Another good news came right after the concert week! The Our Lady of Fatima YOUTH CHOIR won the 1st ever chorale singing competition! :) I couldn't tell you how much the kids screamed and celebrated for their efforts during the preparation for this competition. They were soooo ecstatic!

The winning piece was "Munting Sanggol" :)

Christmas came! :) 

The Acostas, all wearing football jerseys! :) 

Karaoke night with the OLFYC! :)

Hello everyone!

      Time goes by so fast, just a year ago we joined the Cuachons in celebrating their baby boy's, Jaden Caleb, 1st birthday and just this 2nd day of Novemeber, family and friends are gathered at Jollibee, Magallañes to once again unite with this loving family in honoring Caleb's second birthday. :) 

        I personally enjoyed the party not just because I really love Jollibee but it is also because the host, Kuya She, kept the party alive, energized and super fun! There are games for both adults and kids plus surprise or in my own terms, ambushed dance number by the Padi Dudi youth! Another part of this gathering that I appreciated are the BABIES! A and I's Sunday playmates, Brii, Miel, Jari and baby Gab, are all invited and are sharply dressed for the party. 

          Here are some photos of the event from Len's camera. :) 

The Cuachons with the always happy, Jollibee :)

Here's Caleb's ninong Martin and Mommy, Ate Camille.

Babysitting for Miel. :) 

GAB! :)

AMBUSHED!!!! We danced to the tune of "Whoops-Skiri-Whoops" haha! I was so embarrassed!!! I haven't seen the dance steps before but I jut have to go along with it! Really fun!

Girls VS Boys Game. The men lost the game and therefore punished to spell C-A-L-E-B with their butts!

Blowing of the cake by the birthday boy. :)

This one is soooooo....ADORABLE! :) 

      I just can't wait for the next year's party! Wishing Caleb many many many more birthdays to come and more love! We know that he is a good boy and we'll always pray for him and his family. :) We love you playmate! 

    thank you guys for reading!

*SHINE!
