<b>THE GOD OF THE HILLS AND VALLEYS</b>. Have you ever felt that there were days that nothing has happened as you have planned? Just one by one, things were beginning to unravel? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've had days like these. When I missed my shuttle by seconds. When I had too much stress in the office. Or just plain bombarded with negative thoughts, or going through a rough time in my life. I have learned (and I am still learning) that in all things, God is in control, He is God and He has you in the palm of His hands, He is looking down on you, and He can see your pain, your situation.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are times that I have felt down and defeated, sometimes wondering and asking God why He allows these hard times to happen in our lives. Then God reminds me that although I may not see the big picture yet, He is there, He is making all things right for me. He is with me in the hills, in the good times and He is with me in the valleys, the difficult and hard times. </div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #343434; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><i>Renowned for their simplicity, utility, and beauty, Scandinavian homes have a pure, pared backed style that is centred around warm functionality, clean lines, flawless craftsmanship and understated elegance.

<span style="color: #343434; font-family: "gotham_bookregular";"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In my opinion, Scandinavian design is one way to have a modern and functional space, without sacrificing the warmth and homey-ness.

<b>MARRIAGE 101.</b> I love talking to other married or single women about relationships and marriage and exchanging notes and experiences. I just got married last September 2015 and I have a long way to go in figuring out the married life. hahah. <span style="background-color: white;">Being with your husband/ partner is blissful and challenging at the same time. You always have to find the right balance between staying true to yourself and being a part of the duo that you are now (because when you get married, you're one with your husband). It's about contributing to the relationship and also giving, to make it work. :)</span></div>

<b>BE STILL AND KNOW THAT HE IS GOD. </b>These past few weeks have been a roller coaster ride. This January, we found out that I was pregnant. We were so excited for this precious gift. Then the worst happened, 7 weeks in, I lost the baby in my womb. We went in for a routine ultrasound 2 weeks ago and got the biggest shock of our lives : our baby had no more heartbeat. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Our doctor explained that the baby had developmental problems, the abnormalities would have made it hard to continue with life. There was nothing that I could have done to change the situation (bed rest, less stress, eating healthier, etc), it was something that was out of my control. As a first time mom, I was really devastated. I cried so hard in the clinic where I had my ultrasound ; cried for my baby who I so longed to see and hold.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's a bit hard for first time parents when this happens to you ; you are excited, anticipating your first child. I cannot completely explain the pain of losing your child. I was not able to see or hold our baby, but I loved him or her so so much. It is still a little difficult to relive the events of the past weeks. There will always be a place for our little baby in my heart. We named our baby Addison Gabrielle/Gabriel (Addison meaning son of Adam, firstborn, Gabrielle/ Gabriel meaning gift of God). He/she will always be our first gift.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When we told our family and dear friends of what happened to us, we found out that there are many stories of pain and triumph, mommies and strong women who are all close friends and family members who have gone through the same situation. They have also served as my encouragement throughout this season. Friends and family have also been a pillar of support. Through this time, I also realized that all our stories - it may be a story of pain, or of triumph - can be used by God to affect and inspire other people. We all go through these situations because it makes us stronger, makes us lean on God, and makes us a beacon and source of hope and encouragement as well. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One thing that we always remember is that we can always trust in God's wisdom - His ways are higher than our ways. He gives and He takes away. In this moment of pain, we chose to hold on to God. Sometimes we don't understand our circumstances but we look to the future with hope and undying faith. Thank God for His grace and His strength that is always available for us. <b>His mercies are new every morning, His love never ceases. (Lamentations 3:22-23)</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I miss baby Addie everyday, and I think of her/him all the time. The pain and the loss are still fresh but there is peace and comfort - peace that knows that God is in control, and comfort for the aching pain of losing our first child. I also long to hold my baby in my arms, sing her/him to sleep, watch the little baby grow up into a beautiful person. I ache for our baby, but I am always reminded that God the Father is taking care of my precious baby Addie, our precious gift is now enjoying heaven. There are no more abnormalities in heaven; no more sickness, just abundant life with God. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are times when I still cry when I remember her/him, but I always smile. In spite of all that has happened, God is good. He is faithful to all of His children, and all of His promises are yes and amen! We are grateful that God chose us to be parents to this little baby, even if it was just a couple of weeks; we were able to celebrate this beautiful gift. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We will continue to hold on to God's promise for a baby. We will continue to prepare and anticipate, and joyfully wait for our next baby's arrival. The next one will be a healthy, successful pregnancy, all made beautiful in God's perfect timing. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>Baby Addie, your daddy and I love you very much. We long to see you one day in heaven. We are thankful to God that we were able to celebrate your life, even if it was just short. For now, rest in God's arms and say hi to our (your great) Grandpa and Grandma for us. I loved being your mommy, and I always will be. <3</i></div>

<b>ART AND FAMILY. </b>I love art and family is also close to my heart, so the Chan Lim Family of Arts and Students event last Sunday was a treat for me. Last time I was able to hold a paint brush was way back in architecture school when my professor asked us to paint the landscape outside. So it was fun to get to practice painting again. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Chan Lim Family of Artists has been engaged in the arts for close to half a century. In the present, there are three generations of Chan Lim artists who use a wide variety of media, styles and techniques to incorporate Western into Eastern art.The family continues to get invloved in the arts by actively developing and prooting Chinese brush painting in the Philippines and abroad. The passion of Chan Lim, the family patriarch lies in Oil and Watercolor. While most of his art is on canvas, he has forayed into other media such as porcelain plates, Asian lanterns and fans to infuse Western techniques into traditional Eastern art.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
After having an on-the-spot Chinese Painting by Dr. Alex Chan Lim, we all tried our hand at Chinese painting. </div>

<b>NEW YEAR, NEW BEGINNINGS</b>. Hello again from my computer! :) I know I said I would blog more last year, well this year, it's time to implement those new year's resolutions! :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Lots has happened in the past years, I got married to the love of my life, changed jobs and said goodbye to my 8 year long relationship with my last archi firm. So much has happened, and one thing that I realize, change is always happening. :)</div>

What a better way to start the year than with change! hehehe. They always say, new year, time for new beginnings. One thing I have also learned to accept is that we have to quickly adjust to change. I am one who is super structured, I plan even my trip to the mall, which stores I'll visit. And so the start of 2017 was a little bit challenging for me. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
My sister (who works and lives in Singapore) came home this December to spend the holidays with the family, and we enjoyed Christmas and New Year together as a family. But as Steph left for SG, so did my younger sister Monica (they are migrating to the US). I am a clingy person, and I love my sisters to bits, so until now I am in a sepanx mode. hahaha. Although I am sad that they are not here in Manila anymore, I am happy for the many opportunities that have opened to them. :)</div>

I've always loved travelling and exploring new places and cultures. It gives me a sense of adventure, and fresh perspective. So since last year, we have been planning trips, starting first with Asian countries. We take advantage of the amazing promo fares that the airlines have to offer, and thanks to them, travelling abroad is possible. :) </div>

Last year we went to Hong Kong and totally enjoyed that trip with the barkada. This year we chose to book flights to Bangkok. I am proud to say that I have kinda pinned the art of travelling light, having a set of clothes in a medium sized suitcase, and with some space for pasalubong too! </div>

I loved their airport. Its design is modern and sophisticated. Their culture shines in their architecture. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We did go to lots of temples, shows Thailand's love for their culture and the past, but their modern architecture is also something else. I really loved the way they design. It's very nontraditional, artistic, and modern at the same time. Of course we enjoyed the architecture and took it all in, with a few commentaries on the side. :)</div>

We went to Siam Paragon to see Siam Ocean World. We loved their malls- every stall had a different theme, and each one was designed creatively. Siam Paragon was also very nice and sophisticated. :) Could you just imagine how they designed the Siam Ocean World located in the basement of the mall? It took ingenuity and creativity. It is a must see for tourists. :) (will write about that too. hehe)</div>

We had a great week in Bangkok, lots of kwento in between and details on our other day trips. we enjoyed the architecture, the sights, the food-ah so delish! We experienced riding their train on our way to the food tour (which is worth an entry on its own!:) There's too much to put in one post, so this one is the intro bit, synopsis of our Bangkok trip. :)</div>

<b>SIMPLE BUT CHIC.</b> Hello peeps! Its been a long while since I've blogged, no thanks to my overloaded work schedule. haha. </div>

So far I am still here, and managing. Sometimes you just have to sit back and relax, in spite of the things happening around you. There is always a reason for such things, and you'll become better because of it. I've always found that complex things suddenly become simple when you take a minute to organize, orient yourself and of course lift everything up to God. Life would be a lot easier if we just stopped worrying, do our best and let God do the rest. I know it's cliche, cut you'll never experience the truth behind it unless you really decide to do it. :)</div>

We left for Bangkok last September 5 and came back on the 9th. I had a great time with my college friends exploring the city, experiencing the culture, and the food- to die for! I didn't get to shop as much as I wanted (yes, i know, i should have! haha) But it's another reason to come back. Their airport was really nice and the architecture amazing. People long ago really had a talent in design and construction. I totally miss Thailand! Will do posts on that soon. :)</div>

We discovered a great place to eat at Malingap street, in Teacher's Village. They call it the Z Compound. Will tell you more about that too.</div>

Did I mention that I so love the simplicity of the outfit posted? I love how it's simple, but chic at the same time. It's how you handle it that really makes the difference. :) I'm really getting into collecting simple and classic pieces now, for a more polished, but chic look.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>SWEATER WEATHER</b> , Bed weather, whatever we call it. :) It came a little late this year (Christmas season was kinda hot and humid. hehe), but we're enjoying it nevertheless. :) Makes you want to stay in bed longer, and snuggle up. :) This calls for layering, and those sweaters, blazers, jackets and scarves that have been hiding in the closet will surely add a little warmth to your outfit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a>I've been wearing a lot of long sleeved and sweater tops, cardigans and blazers lately. Sometimes I wear a scarf with a plain top to keep warm. I find that wearing blazers or cardigans over tops can be more convenient, as it id usually colder in the morning, then gradually becomes warm during the day. <br />

I love blazers : wearing them over shirts gives your outfit that instant made up look, even if you're just wearing flats, sandals or sneakers with it. Wear it with your fave necklaces : chain necklace if you want to add a little rocker feel to your outfit, or pair it with pearls to give you that preppy look. :)</div>

<b>SUNNY START OF THE YEAR.</b> I am opening this year with sunny outfit post. :) It's back to work today for all the offices, and the schools too, so even though I am still in the holiday mode, I had to get up and face the Monday morning traffic. I still can't believe how fast the days went by, like the holidays just zoomed past us. </div>

I've been wearing pants a lot lately. I think I would like to buy more dresses this year. :) But I'm also determined to stick to my budget. haha. I love wearing wedges, because they're comfortable but they give you that added height that you want. You can probably walk more comfortably in these than in heels.</div>

<b>GOING ON THE BUCKET LIST</b> : New York for New Year's? Would really love to go back and experience the Ball Drop at Times Square! Maybe not this year yet (but, who knows? hahaha) but it's definitely going on my long term bucket list. :) I love traveling, and hope to be able to travel more this year. (CDO and Bangkok on this list for 2014!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Aside from this, goal this year is to spend Christmas with the relatives in Canada. Excited to spend the holidays with my cousins and titos and titas, and excited to see and experience the snow! It'll be a white Christmas, a dream come true! :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So what a better way to start the year by reflecting, settings your goals, and saving up for it! I am really determined to save up this year! Found a great way to do this, has anyone heard about the 52 week-money challenge? It's a money saving challenge where in you put aside a certain amount of money every week (or for professionals, add the amounts for two weeks and set it aside every payday). The amount varies per week, as it compounds, and adds up. :)</div>

Think of that thing that you want to save up for (it'll make you more determined, and will give you that drive to save!) : a trip to your dream destination abroad (or local), your dream gadget, a shopping spree, investing in stocks, or just the satisfaction of having all that moolah in your account (good too for emergencies, for future expenses, or just keep on going so you'll have a head start on your future retirement fund. :) Just think of that 60K that you'll be having by the end of the year! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What a great way to start the year by aligning your goals and your finances, so that we can honor God through the way we handle our money this 2014. :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Will probably start adding to this bucket list in the next weeks. Am thinking of all the stuff that I want to accomplish this year. I am super excited for 2014! </div>

<b>2013 was a great year. </b>It was in a way, a year of firsts and a year of opportunities, a year that brought about lots of growth, although there is still alot of room for improvement.</div>
<br />
<a name='more'></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I asked God for direction at the start if the year, and was excited! I knew God was planning a great year ahead. This 2013, I was able to travel out of the country again, last year it was China, this year, we traveled to Hong Kong. It was my first time to visit and i definitely enjoyed our short trip! Aside ftom it being my first time in HK, it was also my first time to travel with Arj as a couple, and with some more of our close friends. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was also a year full of new opportinities in career. I was able to handle new projects that challenged my abilities as an architect, and it was also an open door for new collaborations. Am praying that 2014 will bring about more open doors! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2013 also brought more love as Arj and I celebrated our first year together. It was really a milestone for me, a reminder that God really fulfills the desires of our hearts, if we give Him priority in our lives. He loves to bless His children! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Family and friends were another blessing this year. There were more memories to share, and more times to eat out together and hangout, lots more love. :)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Inspite of this, there is still so much room to improve. There are many things that I still want to change, still many things that I want to try. This is also an assessment for me, as I try to recall all the things I still need to do.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. Save more!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. Manage my time wisely</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. Blog more. Hehe</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. Control my temper and moods more. Haha</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: windowtext;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>ATTENTION SHOPPING ADDICTS AND FOODIES! </b>We have found a great way to shop, dine, get the services you love, and
getting rewards while doing what it! ZAP is a rewards and loyalty platform that
just started operations in March 2013. We introduce shoppers to a world of
rewards (yes lots of rewards!) by partnering with popular brands and offering
2%-15% Cashback which can be accumulated and used to purchase anything across
the ZAP network. Similar with credit card rebates, shoppers accumulate more
points as they spend more at partner merchants.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I
was excited to be invited to Zap’s first Bloggers’ Meet-Up! The Zap Crawl BGC
as it was called by the team, consisted of an awesome afternoon at the
Bonifacio Global City grounds, </span></div>
</div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">taking a tour of just some of the many Zap
merchants. We were treated to several stops featuring delicious food
discoveries (so loved Sunshine Kitchen’s food!!!) useful beauty tips and relaxing
poses from some of ZAP’s 31partner merchants in the area.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Loyalty and rewards cards have been done many times,
many ways, but the ZAPtag is the Philippines’ first-ever rewards smart sticker
that you can stick to your phone and have it with you at all times. It’s accepted
at over 200 establishments in the metro. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt; text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">With a ZAPtag, one could splurge at favorite stores
like Adidas, Digital Walker, Titania Wine Cellar, Office Warehouse and The Spa.
Stuff your belly at Happy Lemon, Draft Gastropub, Burgoo, Mesa or Red Mango.
Every time, you get <span style="color: red;">2% to 15%</span> Cashback Points
credited when you tap your ZAPtag at our terminals—one point = one peso. The
more you spend, the more points you earn. Tap your ZAPtag again to use your
points to pay for any item across the ZAP network. Isn’t that just great! The
shopper in me totally loved this concept!</span></div>

<b style="font-weight: bold;">Wink Laser and Wax Studio</b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b> was the third stop of the crawl. </b>My good friend and fellow blogger, Jen was treated to a FREE eyebrow wax. It was her first time to have waxed eyebrows, and she loved it! We are definitely going to try out their other services. I specially loved the design of their store, very chic, and clean, but also so innovative and fun! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Owner Holly Chang shared the studio’s philosophy on providing a hygienic,
painless solution to hairy woes. Tip – waxing the eyebrows is a lot better than
threading . I was already planning to visit again to try and have my eyebrows
waxed. ZAPtag holders get a regular 5% Cashback on laser and waxing services
except for packages.</span></div>

I am writing this post in light of what happened in our country this past week. The devastation is great, and the people have suffered much. We feel the sympathy for our fellow Filipinos in the Visayas, it looks hopeless, but it's in situations like these that we see the hand of God. We know that in all these things, He is in control, He is sovereign and merciful, and He will not allow further destruction to come upon us as we look to Him. This is the time to really focus our eyes on God, and help out in any way we can, so we can somehow bring relief to our brothers and sisters. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's praying and hoping that this hardship will end soon, and that help will immediately come. We continue to pray for the fast recovery or our fellow countrymen, and the rehabilitation of their beloved province they call home.</div>

<b> I LOVE HOW WEARING SOMETHING GOLD</b> can add a certain spark to your outfit. It adds a quiet but sophisticated warmth to your outfit. :)</div>

I have already worn this top a few times with a skirt, and I wear it with jeans, and this time I paired it with shorts. I really want to buy some more tops like this, in different colors! It's so easy to style and you can wear it with anything. :) I got an idea from Camille Co's blog (I''ve always enjoyed reading her blog! I love her style!), she did a post on styling 3 different outfits around a single piece. I love mixing and matching the pieces in my wardrobe, so I might do a post just like that in the future. :) </div>

Arj and I ate lunch last weekend at Lombardi's, an Italian restaurant located in Shangrila Mall's new wing. I love the new wing. It's very elegant but at the same time warm and homey with the wood accents and warm lighting.</div>

<b>YOU'RE NEVER TOO OLD FOR DISNEY.</b> Sometimes it's just fun to not think of the stress at work, or the bills you have to pay, and just feel like a kid. :) When I was 13 we went to Disney Land in California, and I remember feeling like it was such a dream come true. I'm a lot older now, and it still felt magical. :)</div>

We had a great time trying out all the rides, and just being kids again. haha. We rode the roller coaster, and screamed our heads off (we have a picture but i won't post it here. I look too frightened, and you could see my tonsils because I was screaming the whole time. haha.) Got to scrared to ride the RC Racer at the Toy Story area (sort of like Anchors Away). hehe. But we did our best to cover the whole place.</div>

I can't remember the last time I was able to go to a theme park. Sometimes you forget to just enjoy when your schedule is stuffed and your deadlines are catching up on you, so I really thanked God for this vacation. :) I can't wait to go back to HK. two days is not enough to go to all the sites and see all the tourist attractions. I heard from my sister that Ocean Park has a roller coaster that brings you to the edge of the cliff where it's like you're hanging over the ocean - now that's something I want to try, hope I don't chicken out the next time we're in HK. :)</div>

<b>SHOE LOVE! </b>Was reading Patty Laurel's blog and saw these new styles from Suelas! Just had to post them here beacuse i soo liked them. :) The coolest thing about these is that you can easily fold them and bring them in your bag (when you change from your heels) or when travelling (hello different outfits with different shoes!) Will probably get myself a pair soon! :)</div>

<b>IN HONOR OF THE 'BER' MONTHS</b> here are some suggestions of how to tie a scarf. I find that it is just the right accessory to add to your outfit to keep you warm during the cool 'ber' months. It's stylish and it can add a little omph to your tops-stylish yet functional. And just think of all the cool ways you can wear your scarves-both printed or plain ones. :)</div>

<b>THE VIEW OF THE SKYLINE</b>. I loved our morning walk around the Tsim Sha Tsui area. While the guys were still hanging out in their hotel room, me and my close friend Elai took a walk around the city, and took advantage of this opportunity to take outfit shots! hehe. :)<br />

It was a nice walk from the hotel, with lots to see. We were even amazed at the sidewalks! (they have nice sidewalks! :) The finish of the sidewalks were flamed granite, which is kind of a high end material for flooring. We loved the double-decker buses. :) Enjoy the photos!

<b>HONGKONG STREETS.</b> Before I go on with my kwentos about our Hongkong trip, here's an outfit post. :) I knew that it would be super hot (we were warned by our friend, so we brought "summer clothes". hehe), thus the top-shorts combo. I love these trusty rubber flats (which I go on and on about, and I seem to be always wearing these. hehe) they were super comfy, and I have to tell you that you really need good walking shoes when travelling. :) This is what I wore to day 2, Disneyland and walking along Victoria Harbor. :)<br />

I loved that everyone had his/her own style to flaunt in HK, everybody seemed stylish like no one cared what was baduy or not. hehe. I saw a lot of stylish people, made me want to go fashion stalker on them, mala-Sartorialist and dating. heheh. So it was really nice to see the people dressed up. You can easily find H&M, Cotton On and other fashion botiques while walking the city. :) I'll be sure to hoard some more goodies when we go back (soooon sana! hehe).</div>

<b>TRAVELING WITH FRIENDS</b>. Our Hongkong Day 1 (or should I say night? hehe) was such a fun experience. It was so great to be with friends on this trip, I didn't even notice the long waits at the airport! (that's me and Elai with Boaz, we took the next flight to HK- Arj and Mags were on the flight 2 hours before ours) Of course, Elai and I killed time by taking selfies. haha) We arrived at 10pm at Hongkong International Airport, and met up with our good friend Adriel who is staying in HK for quite some time now. We last saw each other 2 years ago (he came home and the barkada went on an out of town trip) and we were thrilled to be seeing him again, this time it was us visiting him. :) We so loved HK's ariport, it was such a good sign of this being an exciting trip. :)</div>

I love Hk's airport! We were totally impressed with the details, and the design of the structure, we took lots of pictures of it! It was great being with my architect friends, I can comment and appreciate the buildings/design and they would agree or comment back (my sisters would always say "yan nanaman si ate with her technical comments about the building. hehe"). It would be such a great experience to be able to travel the world just to see all the airports of the different countries! </div>

Hongkong's Airport and transport system are so good, it made me wish that ours was as efficient as theirs. hehe. When you're travelling, one of the things that you would really appreciate is the mass transportation, since it's how you find your way through the city. The buses had a system, stopping only at designated bus stops, and having codes for which buses went where. And there are double decker ones! Last time we travelled through HK (on our way to China) we rode the bus at the first level only. Now we sat at the top level, and it was such an exciting bus ride! :) We left our luggage on the first level, and Adriel said it was totally fine to do that, but still we took the extra care of checking from time to time. I loved all the lights and the efficient road systems (haha. all praises ah. hehe. halata bang nagenjoy talaga? haha)</div>

We had late night dinner at Mcdo! haha. travelled all the way to HK for McDo. haha. Just kidding. :) it was the only restaurant that was open at that time, since it was really late. It's fun seeing the different things that are added to the menu, and yes there are different interesting stuff added in different countries. hehe. In HK you can have an order of broccoli on the side! hehe. We didn't try that, but we did have some shaker fries. hehe. :)</div>

It was a great first night. Saw the city lights, and had a great first dinner in HK talking, catching up with Adriel and reminiscing and finally went back to our hotel to rest.<br />
We went to Victoria Harbor and HK Disneyland the next day!</div>

<b>TRAVELING THE WORLD</b>. We just came back from a short trip to Hongkong last weekend. I personally waited for this for the whole year (we booked our flight last year, in October. Abangan ang seat sales online!) and was super excited to be travelling out of the country again this year. The last time I traveled was in March of 2012, we went on a business trip with my close friends/kinakapatid to China. I had such a great time on that trip! Goal na yan every year to travel to one country at a time, starting first with the Asian countries (when our budgets permit us to do so. haha) . I know we just arrived early last Saturday, and I can't wait to go back! So in honor of my hangover from our Hongkong trip, here are some travel quotes with a little kwento on the side. haha.</div>

It was my first time out of the country with friends, and I can say that it's a very fun experience. We have been on numerous out of town trips before, and we have seen each other asleep, bagong gising, wearing pambahay, so ibang level na ng friendship. haha. But this time, travelling abroad together, I just enjoyed the company, and appreciated each one more. I love having close friends na pwedeng yayain kahit saan, and game always. And all of us (except Boaz, who is part of the group na din. haha. travel buddies!) are architects, that's why we really appreciated the architecture in Hongkong. We practically grew and matured together, and shared all of our major milestones together (falling in love, starting our own firms, our friends getting married and having their first baby :) now its high time we travel together, baka in the near future with our own families na. Traveling together with friends, or family/ your loved ones makes it more memorable and enjoyable. :)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is our goal. :) One country a year! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Things I've learned : start a travel fund, it really helped us with this trip. We started early in the year and ended up with more than enough for our trip, to cover our expenses from the plane fares to the hotel accommodations, and the pocket money. We didn't have to worry about our travel allowance. :) I also learned so much during our trip since it's my first time to be travelling without my parents or family, so we handled our own itinerary and money. We learned tips on how to manage our currencies and peso (and computing the exchange rate , knowing/deciding when its best to have your peso changed), and booking and buying tickets for theme parks/ travel destinations/ tourist sights early on to avoid lining up and wasting time, and also to research about the destinations we want to include in our itinerary so we know exactly where to shop in between (have to have time for shopping - for pasalubong and souvenir items. hehe) so that we can visit every destination on our list and that sticking together (or setting a time to meet at a particular place) is the best thing when travelling with a group. :) Of course there are some learnings, and we know better next time we travel. (next year! hahaha) Baka next year complete na buong barkada! :) Yey!</div>

So where to next? hehe. So excited for our future travels! I always thank God that I ended up with someone who also loves to travel, so we can travel the world together! hahaha. Excuse the cheesy-ness. haha. Its such a blessing to be able to experience these trips, with the one you love, and with your loved ones too! It's true that travel does the heart good, makes us realize our blessings, makes us appreciate other people more, opens our eyes to other cultures and interesting people, sights, stuff and new experiences. God is the giver of every good thing, it's an honor to be able to see His work and creation in all the different parts of the world. My BIG dream is to be able to travel to Europe and makabalik sa US. (siguro when we're done na with Asia. haha.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So excited to continue to make great memories! </div>
