Where to in Bora 4/4: Chillin' like a boss with our red lipstick!


Our third day at Bora was spent lazing around the beach, wolfing down two breakfasts within one-hour interval (not a good idea to do this before hitting the beach :P), crashing at somebody else's pool and finally getting our seafood fest at dampa for dinner! Wheeee!






Home of the calamansi muffins, Real Coffee is one of the breakfast places to beat in Boracay. And I am sure Boracay lovers would agree that at least one meal must be spent with this restaurant's hearty sandwiches, omelettes and baked goodies.  And since we couldn't resist eating the free breakfast at Le Soleil where we were staying at and Real Coffee's morning treats, we just went and stuffed our faces with both! :P So you can just imagine how full I felt after!





After burping our way out of Real Coffee, we knew we needed to start burning the calories so we immediately hit the beach. Mark and Steph were not too keen on hitting the beach though because of the glorious sun. As for me, I'm not really scared of it... just as long as I slather on the right amount of sunscreen, a golden tan is something I would welcome on a beach-y day, and so did Kimmy (who's the fairest among us!) and Potch!




But it was really scorching hot on that day so we tried walking backwards half the time to make sure that we were equally baked on both sides. Here we are, getting stares from the tourists who were probably thinking, "Filipinos are a weird bunch!" Haha!


Chillin like a boss with our red lipstick! (We totally loved Revlon's new lip stain, which was Potchy's new beauty find, so we would borrow it every chance we get. Kahit sa beach, nakalipstick! Haha!)

We found a table at Two Seasons, and just decided to stay there for the afternoon. We just bought a couple of drinks at White House, then went back to Two Seasons to crash their pool then later on, the girls played beach volleyball.



We ended up swapping stories at the pool. And because it was very relaxing and we were getting a good shade from the sun (we knew we already had enough dose for the day), we did most of the swimming here too :)


The pool kind of reminded me of Misibis, where in the pool was just right smacked outside the rooms, and there's a bridge just right above it. Although beach-wise, of course, Bora is still better. Hehe! :)


It was a pretty fun trip :) And Bora is still Bora any way you look at it, although ironically summer is not the best time to go here for the beach. Try hitting it during October - February when it's not as hot and waters are lumot-free! :)


I just love spending time with these people right here. We've all been friends since high school and life has really taken us all to different places and seasons... but it's always good to know that you have a set of people who are so dependable and fun to be with that you just know they have your back. :) And everyone should have that! :)

Cheers! Bora, hope to see you again soon!

So You Had a Bad Day

Last Friday, I caught myself getting irritated by the second as I get one bad update after the next at work - confirming either low performance for the month or delay in our campaign activities. I just wanted nothing more but to call it a day and go home...  But since that wasn't an option, I just watched a movie (yup on my own :P) and stuffed my mouth with Taters potato chips (cheese flavor!) and Jamaican pattie (cheesy beef!) later that afternoon. Yup, that made me feel a little better after! We all go through this kind of day, and so soon after ringing in the new year with our hopes and goals too!  Tsktsk! So as I dragged myself to take on the hours that day, I knew that I had to snap out of it and be wary, lest I find myself stuck in the limbo of the daily activities.

Japan: Lit Gardens & Shrines in Kyoto + Japan Travel Tips

On our 3rd day, we went to Kyoto! We bought a one-day Keihan railway pass since Kyoto is about an hour away from Osaka. There are different ways to get to Kyoto but the cheapest and fastest is by train. Taxis are very expensive in Japan! Buses and trains are just about the same price so you can plot your way to this famous spot either way. Fushimi Inari Shrine

Getting Beach-Ready with Wink!

Beach! That is what my mind seems to be saying these days, and on Friday we will be flying to a much-loved beach in Visayas (more about that soon). Finally! The sun and the seas! :D But before we don our swimwear and flip-flops, my friend and I made sure to get our skin beach-ready first. So just last Saturday, we went to Wink Laser & Wax Studio to get our waxing fix. We both have had experience in waxing, shaving and plucking so I think it was a great way to try what Wink has to offer differently in the market. Because we already have something to compare it with, we hope to bring something that will break it down into specifics, not just with the service but with the products and the  ambiance  as well. Hygiene is number 1 One thing worth remembering about Wink is its priority on cleanliness. Holly Chang, the young entrepreneur behind this budding business, is a self-proclaimed OC.
