I've gots me a new pair of pumps!

Yeah, that's our team. Well, half of it!

Even the people on LOA came in for the team building!

Have you ever tried to visit Baguio on a February? I suggest you don't if you're a bit claustrophobic. But if you really want to see the Annual Float Parade and is fine with crowded places, then go ahead. I wouldn't stop you because Baguio is just too lovely even with the influx of people during February, or summer for that matter.

But I guess when you do love the place it doesn't matter if it's crowded or not. Exactly what happened to me some weeks ago when I went to Baguio and i didn't realize it was also the Float parade so I had a hard time securing seats for me and the boyfriend. The traffic was also heavy upon arrival but it's manageable. We had to stop by UP so that I can deliver my sister's doughnut's. They've been requesting Krispy Kremes for the longest time.

The whole Saturday was basically rest day for us since we didn't want to go out, it was too crowded. The morning after though, look what we had!

I love Baguio. It shouldn't come as a surprise by now because I talk about it all the time and I try to compare everything with Baguio.This is one of those days where I consider going up there to look for a decent job that will allow me to stay forever. But for now, a list of things and reasons why you'd love Baguio.

1. Weather!

Who hates cold weather? I don't! I love cold weather, I can strut in shorts or jeans and just bring a jacket if ever it gets too cold. In college I used to wear shorts and flipflops in class. They're sooo comfortable it makes the environment a whole lot conducive for learning (echos!). I hate the kind of weather here in Manila because my face gets oily all the time.

I look awkward in this photo, maybe because I just woke up and I was hungry as hell. This was taken last January. The boyfriend and I makes it a point to visit Baguio at least once a month.

2. Food (Nomnom!)

I love to eat. Last Valentine's day I had the luxury to omit some food I shouldn't be eating because of my diet. And yes, I commit to my diet intermittently. Whenever I'm really stressed out or hungry, I forget about it. But when I'm all okay, schedule has been followed, I'm tight with it.

My sister Polly share the same attitude. Whenever she's stressed being a part of the student council, spear-heading the school paper, performing her role as the class president and staying on top as the first honor, she eats, a LOT. My Mom and I try to talk her out of binge eating because it'll not do her any good. But I guess she has to follow by example, and my Mom and I are not the best role models when it comes to that area.

So anyway, I just wanted to post my Sister and I's favorite dessert. Some weeks ago, I bought a box of Krispy Kremes as pasalubong to my sister and she managed to make them disappear in one sitting--half the box I mean. And she was so satisfied after that she managed to finish reviewing 6 subjects in 4hrs.

So i guess I'll let her be for the moment, and just remind her every now and then to take it slow sometimes.



My sister has a preference for the extra sweet ones, she doesn't like settling for Sugar glazed. And that leaves them to me, by my lonesome. Nomnom!

Hun and I agreed to sit out Valentine's day. I mean, it's such a cliche and it's everywhere as if it's the only day you can tell someone you love them. I kind of disagree with that philosophy. It's better if you treat everyday as a special day to tell your loved one that he or she is important and loved. Right?

Anyhoo, because of peer pressure I sort of felt obliged to give Bunny a gift. Well I'm weak like that, always giving into peer pressure. I do give him small nothings on random days but I just felt like this one had to be a slight bomb because I didn't get him any present last Christmas. So I got him;

I got him a watch!

First off, Happy Valentine's Day! How's your day so far? I've got no special plans for today for we had our 'date' last weekend. Right after my shift, I met with Hun so we can go to Pampanga together. Arrived there around lunch, Mom prepared a sumptuous meal for us! We had crabs, lobsters and Sinigang (no photos though, I was starving!) Had a nap after lunch and next thing we know, it's already dinner!

Bun's tooth was a major pain in his ass for it prevented him from eating the delectable treats prepared by my Momma. After dinner, we washed the dishes together (kilig!) and he also helped me configure my new wireless router! I'll blog about that some other time.

We also slept late because we watched TV and we were busy talking to each other. fast forward to the morning after, I cooked him breakfast! We had tocino and tomatoes, then immediately fixed ourselves and headed to Clark for the 16th Hot Air Balloon festival.

upon arrival. Bunny is handsome! ,3

Excuse my hair for being so cooperative!

I'm the eldest in a brood of four pretty girls. Being the one, I feel like I have the responsibility to be a good role model to my sisters, a thing which I have failed to do so in the past. I think now is the perfect time to make up for it.

I'm trying hard to reconnect and bond with my sisters since all for of us are in different places, Kat and Ney in Baguio, Polly in Pampanga and I'm here in Manila. I just miss them and I feel like spending the days apart is painful especially for the 2 young girls because I haven't seen them mature into teenagers. But don't worry, we'll catch up on that soon!

They're pretty, I know.

Upon being employed by my capitalist company, I have since forgotten how to prettify and organize my things. I  always have been almost late for work, or have some more work to do when I think of organizing my things. But last December, I though I'd get it over and done with and once and for all clean up and organize my things. Here's what I got.

I just wanted to show a photo of my piggy bank, totally unrelated!

Haha! So going back, I just thought I'd show you a photo of my piggy bank which has been with me for over a year now and I haven't even managed to make it half full! So, I bought some things at the Japanese store in Trinoma where things were supposed to be priced P66 and P88 or so.

I was supposed to post this ages ago, but oh well. I'm always fashionably late. I'd still want to share with you what I've had for my family. I shopped at Greenhills because the malls are too expensive for me, I can get my money's worth at Divisoria, but hell knows the money I'll lose out of snatchers and pickpockets is going to be the same worth as the ones I spent at Greenhills.
