dear blog

dear blog,

 i miss you. i have not forgotten you, though it may seem otherwise. i have been meaning to write you but you know how things always get in the way like candy crush addiction. i know you'll forgive me and wait for me forever, which is why maybe i am taking you for granted.  i am sorry about that. you know that i am such a procrastinator right? you and i have come a long way and i am not going to throw that away. and please don't get jealous of facebook and instagram. yeah i've spent time with them and earned new friends through them but you will still be my first, okay?

so what have i've been up to after my last visit to you? well after the bicolandia trip to see magayon, i failed to scale pico de loro's monolith (i was dead certain i'd be able to climb that beak but i chickened!) , well that mountain aint a beginners climb! that is an ass of a climb i'm telling you, pure assault! and it was just a day hike. excuses, i know! well, i had a walk in the park climbing mt. pulag and i underestimated the bitch! =) well yeah, you know i had a colorful affair at the hot air balloon festival right? yeah i did mentioned that to you last time. i think i'm getting old, i was about to tell about what i have been doing after that.

well, you know how i love swimming and the sun and the sea, and that summer is just around so i had two quick trips in batangas for a taste of the sand, sea, and sun. you know how i love the beach right? well after that i had an awesome experience visiting the heart of the philippines, in case you dont know where that is - it's marinduque =) congratulate me! i just visited all provinces in the MIMAROPA region yeeehaw! LOL yeah just 4 provinces in all but i didnt know it would take me 35 years to finish them off. and was able to see morions in action, yeah another one off the bucket list is attending the moriones festival, watching senakulo, via cruziz and all that stuff. and of course my trip isnt complete without swimming and we also hiked a mountain to get to a falls. it was a memorable holy week trip indeed. and i have been lazying and doing some stuff in between, but just to let you know that you are still in my mind. until my next post.



love

One at a time

Slowly i am able to tick off one item at a time of my bucket list.

happy to know that as February of 2013 is about to end, i was able to ticked off 3 since January 2013.

First of the list is seeing the mayon volcano up close and personal and having a touristy pose at cagsawa ruins and as a bonus and 2nd item ticked off the list is riding an ATV and it's a bragging experience to say that i have traversed lava flow (well yun tuyo na ha, and the last time magayon spewed a lot was around 2010) on my first ATV ride :)

Bicolandia trip last january was a success and yes I have spent my birthday at the beach - at caramoan islands to be exact :)

And 3rd off my bucket list is watching the hot air balloons fly. Yes! Finally after so many years of wishing and planning to watch the event at Clark, i was able to watch the 18th philippine international hot air balloon fiesta - a weekend where everything flies. :)

Yes, slowly the bucket list is getting fulfilled :)

loud basstard

This iPhone dock/speaker is really cool! So pinoy! That's why when I saw it on my fb timeline i googled immediately their website - www.loudbasstard.com . Upon checking the web, i learned that Loud basstard is purely pinoy and handcrafted at Cebu, but their website doesn't have a price list and how to order so i filled in the 'contact us' form and glad that they were quick to respond to my queries.

They just launched the product last quarter of 2012 and has only 1 branch in manila. as per their response:

----
You can order online at mymarquee.ph or in store in Manila at Harvest Gastro Pub at Grand Hampton Tower 2, 31st St. cor. 1st Ave., BGC Taguig, 1634 Manila, Philippines.

Or, you can order directly through us here. Each loudbasstard has a SRP of P995 and when you order through us, delivery within the Philippines is free!
-----

I immediately ordered the natural color and deposited the money next day and after sending the deposit slip i got an immediate response that it will be delivered the next day which is today. That's why I prefer online transactions, fast and prompt. :)

If you want to order just drop an email to loudbasstard@gmail.com . Happy shopping :)

Happy with my purchase. Thanks che for the additional fund LOL ( i harassed her to give me bday gift hahaha)

just a note: this is my first post using blogger apps for iPhone

hello kitty christmas at the north part 1 of 3

Imagine a wonderful hello kitty day that any hello kitty lover dreams of - a truly spectacular and amazing day that is! And that is what i have experienced last saturday when i attended the launching of "Hello Kitty Christmas at the North" at The Block, SM City North Edsa.

I am so happy to be given an opportunity to attend and get an invite to this event. Any Hello Kitty fan would love it! To be honest, i was a bit skeptical when i got a comment from one of my hello kitty posts asking if i would be willing to lend my hello kitty collection for an exhibit at the mall, but being a true hello kitty fan girl i immediately emailed back that i would be delighted. Little did I know that aside from my hello kitty stuff getting exhibited, that they would also have a grand opening and a Hello Kitty Village treat at SM North Edsa.

But due to circumstances I arrived late (sob! i know right!) i was planning to be there early so i can take pictures and take everything in but i had to accompany my mother in a painting exhibit at filinvest early saturday morning and just got home around 12noon tired and sleepy, so after eating lunch i decided to take a nap so that i will have a beauty rest hahaha, i really wanted to prepare myself and kittify myself for this event, i even had my nails painted with hello kitty friday night. i was planning to wear my most colorful hello kitty outfit and even wear my hello kitty contact lenses for the event but all of that didn't happened (aside from the hello kitty nails) cause i woke up at 3pm already and i had to take shower, etc, etc.

i was already panicking knowing that the program starts at 4pm and i was still at the house at quarter to four. and to my frustration, it was like i am never going to make it at all because of traffic! it didnt helped that the shortcut to 5th avenue station is closed due to road construction! i was really tempted to get out of the cab and just run to get past the traffic and hail a new cab past the snail moving traffic but that would mean me getting sweat and eww so i had to sit through the traffic and thank goodness arrived at The Block at 30minutes past 4pm.

manalmon bayukbok adventure
