I know I promised my birthday video several posts ago, but to be honest, I was a bit reluctant to share it. I haven't even shared this on my Facebook timeline, lol. It's fun for me to watch it because these are my precious birthday moments. Can't say the same for those who will be viewing it as it's not informative in any way. It's also not a ~vlog~ per se, since it's just a compilation of the fun moments we've had during our stay. But after thinking through it, what the hell, right? I love looking at the memories I create or have created, regardless if they make me cringe or not. I may delete this in the future, or not. For now, I'm keeping it up.

I'll be writing mote about my day on a separate blog post. The resort that we stayed in was wonderful. We got lost on our way home, but never mind that. I had an awesome time with the best person I could've spent my birthday with! Regardless of my current weight (I've gained a lot, btw), this birthday is definitely one for the books! :)

My other posts are pretty text heavy so I'm trying to compensate by lessening the text on this one. Hope it worked!

Have you gone to the beach lately? Tell me about it! Happy weekend, folks!

I'm very protective of my photos. You can borrow them, yes, but make sure you always link me up or give me some credit. I mean, come on. I don't take pro-level photos or photos for commercial use but those are still my photos. And if you use them or upload them somewhere without my permission, you don't just offend me, I can also sue you for it.

Given that, please have the decency to at least inform me if you're going to use my photos or if you tell me you'd like a copy, tell me what it's for. It's just offensive.

I know this is supposed to be a bit wordless but I think for this Wednesday, I'll change it to Wordful Wednesdays -- if there's such a word. But yeah, I guess I'll invent it if it doesn't exist just because spell check said so.

Anyhoo, my photo was totally unrelated. Just showing you guise how you should be crediting others, which I'm sure most of you does. Some people just don't get it. Lol.

Happy Wednesday!

This is where we stayed. It's Isla Vista Beach Resort, it was a pretty place and our room was spacious. It's also 10mins away from Potipot Island and they take care of the boat transfers too for a reasonable price.

After frolicking on the beach for an hour and the pool for the same amount of time, we tidied up so we can have dinner and drinks after. The only thing I didn't like about Isla Vista was the waiting time everytime we ordered food. If it wasn't enough that their serving is not what we expected, they'll make sure your intestines are trying to devour each other before they serve your order. I didn't join my friends for the happy hour for I was too sleepy and tired because of the trip.

This was taken the morning after. We had breakfast and the people who drank too much had to take some time to remove alcohol from their system before we can ride the boat. Look at the sparkling water!

The Island was very peaceful and serene. It had a lot of big-ass rocks though, but the water was so blue and clean. Once you get to the Island, you will be asked to pay the entrance of P100. I don't know what it was for, we just paid because we were too excited to jump into the water.

I was collecting sea shells while I was on the shore but returned them after taking a photo. Lookie at the penis-shaped shell, lol. Potipot was fun even if the travel time took longer than the time we frolicked on the beach and had fun like we're kids.

I'm not sure if this post is still appropriate since strong winds and harsh rains are devouring the city. I think the beach will always be an appropriate topic whether it's summer or not. I love the beach.

Until next summer.

How have you been doing? I've been pretty fvcked lately. I'm having 2 different shifts at work on a weekly basis, thank God it's not daily. But I'm surviving. I don't think it does my body any good but I can still stand so I guess I'm OK? NOOOT.

Stop.What this post really wanted to say is that "I had an awesome Holy Weekend!". No BV from here, booyah! We went to Cagbalete, thanks to Biyahe Lokal. Of course it wasn't an all-expense-paid kind of trip. But they did take care of the planning, booking, transportation, food and basically everything else that you need in a beach trip. They offer cheap rates too. Trust me when I say the coordinators are very friendly and professional. They wouldn't let you get bored for a millisecond. I suggest you head over to the site and book your trip, NOW!

After a good 4-hr drive from Manila, we reached our drop off point. This is our boat. The organizers will actually be with the team all throughout the trip to make sure that nothing goes wrong.

I'm so excited. too excited I can't even focus on work so while I try to divert my attention and try to bring myself together, I'll blog about the place were going to on Holy week. Yeaaah men!

This is the first time I'll be going out of town on a Holy Week. My family being very conservative as they always are, we weren't always allowed to go out nor have fun during Holy Week and this was supported by traumatic childhood experiences. We were to just stay at home and pray or try to be holy, with which most people call "Staycation" nowadays. Well, minus the being holy part.

Let me introduce, *drum roll please* --CAGBALETE!

Yay, summer is here! Good news, yes! Bad news? Definitely, or at least for me. Summer always translates to beach, pool parties, etc. basically anything that involves a body of water or water itself because of the sweltering heat in this tropical country that we are in. Apparently, even if summer is one of the things that I anticipate the most every year, it's also one of the seasons that I dread. Ironic. I know exercise is good for the body yada, yada, don't give me that lecture because I know that, thing is, work has taken it's toll on me. And for the past year alone, I gained. 8kgs. And it's so fvcken obvious with my humongous thighs and bulging belly. Don't get me wrong, I'm not THAT fat but I'm starting to become heavy. I'm just awesomely covered in pieces that thankfully cover these things up.Plus, I'm fat in all the wrong places. I have a flat chest, very thin arms, but my tummy and thighs are--NVM. Haha!

A lot of people get deceived when I talk about my body issues, they come up and say, "You're so thin, WTH is your problem?". I'm like, "Girl, you ain't seen nothing yet." It's so difficult to be fat in a weird way. Thank God for high-waisted swimsuits.
