What I Wore | Button-Down Shirt & Skirt Pants

Midweek Madness!

It's amazing how fast time flies by and you don't even realize it. Just last Sunday I was not ready to welcome Monday but its funny how Wednesday came unnoticed, until my friend asked for a midweek chill.

My closest friends and I has online jobs and so we take weekend and midweek seriously to disconnect to technology and stress. That's Wednesday and Saturday out and about anywhere in the city. However, most of it spent at malls. :D

It's the time where we channel our inner fashionista and coffee/tea addicts. It's our time to vent out problems and frustration, laugh with/without any reasons, encourage and discourage decisions... hehehe that's what we are!

We usually just shop, stroll, eat and chat. A lot of things really happened and most of them are unplanned.

On today's post, I am sharing an outfit on one of our midweek chill few weeks back. While looking forward of our midweek chill later... Printed button-down shirt and white skirt pants. Forgot to take a photo of the back view for the shorts... really its shorts. The gladiator shoes is new... I impulsively bought it on that day and wore it immediately... and the days after. hahaha I am not obviously loving it, arent I?

This day only two of us bond. And me and my best buddy accidentally wore matching outfits in black and white theme. We didn't even plan it. ^_^
What's your usual bonding with your friends?
Do you do midweek chill/break too?

Relaxing at Chali Beach Resort

How was your weekend so far? Friday is a holiday here in the Philippines.

"The Philippine National Government already declared July 17, 2015 as a Regular Holiday nationwide as Filipino Muslims prepare for the celebration of Eid’l Fitr, the feast marking the end of the Holy Month of Ramadan."

Me and my girl friends spent the holiday at Chali Beach Resort. Technically we planned for a swim but we ended just relaxing and had a fun chitchat. We weren't able to swim because the kids who swim before us carelessly pooped on the pool that the resort had to clean the pool, so the pool will be unavailable for 4 hours.

Parents should be mindful when their kids are using public pools. They should not just leave them there alone and should teach their kids for some good etiquette. The kids are swimming alone and no adult was watching over them except for the resorts lifeguard.

I was so excited to swim pa naman sana... but I guess what happened was a blessing in disguise because it would be harmful for us swimming on a dirty pool.

Good thing the resort has a nice view and ambiance. The wind from the sea is so relaxing that we didnt mind that our plan for a swim didn't push through.

Here's some snapshots of Chali Beach Resort that I took...

My pretty friends enjoying a good chitchat while im busy taking photos... ;)

I like that they have this buzzer everytime you need to order or need a service from the the waiters. They're also very prompt in responding after you push the button. My friend really had a good time pushing that button... :D

My friend is a pasta lover so she ordered this pasta but she didnt enjoy this pasta though....

I ordered this Fruit Platter at Php 145.00. It taste good except for the watermelon, but way too expensive.

The beautiful sunset view by the beach.... Standing here while taking pictures makes me reminisce of old times.

My mom use to stay at my aunts house which just in the neighborhood of this resort. So we use to swim on part of this beach (in the photo below). In this beach, I had my first beach swimming where I cried out of fear. I even had a picture of it with my aunt. I was so young then...

I also remember how we use to crossed in that dikes just to swim here in the resort's beach for free. I have a relative who is a caretaker of a private property next to this resort, so we use to enter there and then swim to this resorts beach with our picnic basket swimming with us. hahaha

My memories in this resort didn't stop there... This used to be a playground before when this cottages has not been built yet. My aunts, little cousins and me used to visit here in the afternoon and play. My cousins learned how to walk here because the grass area was so wide and I had fun playing at the playground.

In this resort also was where one of my aunt had her wedding reception held. I remember after wedding, I run around still in my flower girl gown and then fell in the pool. I don't know how to swim so my uncle, the groom, had to rush in and jump in the pool in his tuxedo to save me... I was that clumsy... ^_^ It was a good memory though because everyone ended swimming in the pool after...

Those were the days... I had a great trip down memory lane in Chali Beach Resort. I didn't notice I spent so many good memories here. Its good to have visited this place once again. :)

Dont make your waking life and responsibilities so important that you neglect the real benefits of sleep, rest, and dreaming. #dailyreflection

One Day At A Time

Its been awhile since me and my friends hangout. This was highly anticipated because we havent bonded in awhile, except for Dee and I coz we are preparing for her wedding. Most of us are busy with work and personal life recently.

We are not complete though because one of our friend just lost her mom and she is still busy with post burial details. We are looking forward on hanging out with her so we can atleast comfort her.

One of our friend, who initiated this meet-up, was in daze because of a bad news that she received. A friend ended his own life.

The theme for this week is probably about life. On living life to it fullest. On the importance of support group called friends and love ones. On having faith.

When your down and stress dont be hesitant to call on your trusted friends and love ones and pour out your feelings. Ask them for help and advice if you need it. And if you had to, cry it all out to them.

And when you are hesitant to ask help from your support group dont forget that you can always talk to God. Visit the church, prayer room or anywhere solemn. Even if your not religious rest assured that He will listen if you want to talk to him. Pray and ask for guidance and strength to help you surpass whatever it is that you are struggling now.

This world can be cruel. And life may gets tougher each day. Dont ask for questions if you cant find the answer. If pain and sorrow seems to be hard to bear you can always shut up your emotions and live life one day at a time. Soon someone or something will cure and fill in whatever is hurting and missing in your life.

Live your life one day at a time, and no matter what just keep on breathing.

Zee & Aya's Wedding

One of my friend just bid goodbye to single blessedness...

Besides the wedding, a lot things happened on that day. So let me walk you through this pictures... ;)

First stop is Dee's house... We agreed to meet-up there. Had our make-up and hair done.

We then pick-up Jara after.

Special mention to my hairstylist... Dee! Love you!

We arrived early at the church and was hungry. So we grabbed breakfast at the nearest fastfood.

When we came back, the ceremony is half way done. We didnt get to see Zee march down the aisle. Lame friends... Sorry Zee!

At the reception... Country Village Hotel.

Congrats to Aya and Zee! Best luck to your new journey together...

One of our dearest friend was able to catch up at the reception.
Let me introduce my girls: Jara, Dee, Me, Risa

Gala-gala with the groom...

Bouquet tossing or should I say passing of bouquet... Because we are supportive friends... Actually, only Jara and I are not in a relationship status. The connection? Nothing actually just sayin'. :D

None of us was picked to own the bouquet but the guy wants to picked Jara.
