TGIF

So this is my kind of Friday.

What better way to spend my afternoon than by reading ebooks, munching on one of my comfort food and just chilling like a villain with no lights and just a lampshade on?

I don’t normally have free Friday afternoons thus I made sure to spend mine properly.

I tried reading Meg Cabot’s 2nd part of All-American Girl, Ready or Not but I got bored with its story line (I like the 1st part of the series better). I’ve switched from reading Cabot’s to Roth’s Divergent. I heard the latter’s a really good one, so I’m kinda having high hopes for it! What can I say, I just love reading. I’m a bookworm.


Also I had some major catching up to do with my playlist (I’m searching and downloading new found songs from random people on the Internet and from 8tracks. I’ve said this a million times, but I’ll say this once again: I love you, 8tracks!)

So this basically sums up what I’ve done earlier this afternoon. Cheers to the freaking weekend!

Hope all of you’re having a great Friday, too!

 

 

Anonymous asked: Hello. Can I ask what app you use for your pictures' effects on instagram? :)

I’m using VSCO :)

Here’s a long overdue post (2 months delayed to be exact), which was the third part of my summer vacation.

For the last day, we went to Macau via Cotai Water Jet. I dread riding turbojets, boats and the likes just for some unknown reasons. I prefer airplanes because I personally think they’re safer. But riding Cotai Water Jet was an amazing experience since I was not really doubtful of their turbojet and I was not feeling nauseated. Nice! 

I love the fact that Hong Kong and Macau’s ferries are open 24 hours and one ferry departs every 15 minutes. So convenient! 

After an hour, we arrived in Macau and was greeted by our tour guide who was actually very fluent in English. 

Photos of buildings I took inside our tour bus. 

Sands Macao

We arrived at Fisherman’s Wharf, which was actually the very first theme park in Macau.

We had our free buffet lunch at this lovely restaurant inside Fisherman’s Wharf. 

Vintage jukebox radio. Love!

Some more interesting designs inside Fisherman’s Wharf

My sisters and I inside a store I forgot the name of. 

Great architecture!

The Kun Iam statue, the Goddess of Mercy

Went inside Macau Tower Convention and Entertainment Centre and found this stall of Macau goodies.

Cute feng shui bracelets and my sisters & I got one for ourselves.

The world’s highest bungee is found here in Macau Tower with a height of 764 ft. When we were there, someone was bungee jumping. Crazily awesome! I would want to bungee jump someday, before I die. It’s one of my bucket lists!

Afterwards, we went to A-ma Temple, which was built in 148. The said temple is dedicated to Matsu, the goddess of seafarers and fishermen.

Prayer cards inside A-ma Temple which were surrounding a tree.

Stone inscriptions 

The Ruins of St. Paul, Monte Fort in Macau. Amazing baroque facade.

Finally a decent and complete photo of us four! So kind of a woman (who was actually Bisaya) to take a photo of us against the Ruins of St. Paul. She was on tour together with us and I didn’t know she was a Filipino, let alone a Visayan since she looked foreign (she’s half German). It was until I said to my sister out loud “Hoi kakapoy ba” while we were walking that she laughed and we were shocked that she understood what I was saying. Such a small world!

The last stop for our Macau itinerary was: The Venetian!

Beautiful architecture (especially with the fake sky mural which fooled my sister who thought it was real) + legitimate branded shops inside The Venetian. 

I wanted to ride the gondola. Too bad our time was super duper limited. Either way, it was fun just to be inside the beautiful Venetian.

So that’s the end of my 3 separate travel posts (1st part you can find here, and the 2nd one here) along Hong Kong and Macau.

On another note, Happy Independence Day, Philippines!

Life in Instagram 


Hello oysters! I’ve been MIA and I don’t have a proper explanation, all I can say is that I was enjoying my 1 week and how many days of my summer break. But here I am, back on track, since classes will start this Monday! But anything else, I’m sharing with you the snippets of my summer days via Instagram.

  • Cookies and cream frappe from Kopi Luwak. I really had no idea that there was a cutesy coffee shop in our humble city and I was really happy when Prince brought us there. Huzzah!
  • Reeve Carney. I’ve been drooling (okay, exaggeration at its finest but whatevs, I love this Spidey of a broadway actor) over him for how many years already.
  • TGIF! (Feeling food blogger lol) I absolutely love their Mocha Mud Pie Pops. It’s like heaven in the form of desserts. I’m not really into sweet foods but that was just an exception. Love!
  • Not so new hair for me! I always have my haircut at David’s Salon since forever. I’m a ruler girl btw.
  • Hashtag OOTD for the first day of enrollment! Aldo bag, Terranova striped leggings and Primadonna gold-pointed shoe
  • Finished reading David Levithan’s Every Day and OMG it broke my heart into pieces. Even though the ending was super kaduper sad that I almost broke into tears, I think it was the proper way to end the story. In other words, it was the reality that A (the lead in the story) could not have escaped.
  • Cute coffee art at Kopi Luwak again! Love! I almost did not want to drink my hot mocha because I don’t want to destroy the cute coffee art.
  • Complete family picture after so long! Yay!
  • Me at Unitop’s Q-Zone! It was my first there and it was fun. I luckily won 50 tickets and I was really proud already TT_TT
  • J.CO doughnuts my sister gave me. I can only consume 1 doughnut per day since like I said earlier, I don’t really have a sweet tooth.

Follow me on Instagram, “peerot“ 

 

On another note I’m already a junior nursing student and omg how time flies so fast! Our batch has been shuffled so I’m in block BBB now and in group G. Let’s do this!

Have a great day ahead, oyster noysters! 

Anonymous asked: hi. where do you edit your pictures? hehe thanks!

Hey. I edit in Adobe Photoshop CS4 :)

Went Karaoke-ing with my high school buddies last May 22nd. 

Sang my heart out to Gotye ft Kimbra’s Somebody that I Used to Know. Which made me realize that it was such a difficult song. I never should’ve sang that, especially with this voice of mine. Nevertheless, I had fun with these people! 

Relevant things to summer

  • Wedding Night by Sophie Kinsella - Just started reading this latest novel of hers. Even though Kinsella’s books may be a little predictable, I still love them nonetheless. She is just so witty and she writes beautifully. 
  • Suddenly, my 2013 planner I got for myself from Tomato. I like it vintage and travel-inspired since I am into vintage/retro stuffs. And who hates being able to travel around the world? 
  • My mini Porky Pig which is actually an accessory for my Toshiba flash drive. I have “accessories” for my flash drives so that I can find them easily. It’s a mini Porky Pig since the legit Porky Pig was a stuffed toy of mine. And I cuddle with it almost every night. It’s so cozy and it’s a cute pig, which is like a big plus.
  • YAY SUMMER! Ah at last, I can finally enjoy my summer break without any academically related stuffs. 

Posting this at 1 in the morning, which makes me feel invincible since I sleep at like around 11PM every. single. night. Or maybe 12 midnight. Chyeah, I feel awesome, being able to sleep late not because of having to study, but because of being so free ‘cause I’m on summer mode already.

On a random note, I’m listening to Passion Pit’s Constant Conversations. Oh wait, it has ended already as I write, and Of Monsters and Men’s From Finner is on. What can I say I just love Indie.

#personal  #bored  #omg  

Went bowling with my college mates yesterday since it was the official start of our summer. Ours was actually delayed because of our summer classes. It may just be the start of summer while it will almost be the end for other people. 

Yes, I listened to Lana’s Cola nonstop while waiting for my turn. And yes again, my 4-year old iPod had cracks on it.

Anonymous asked: unsay mga ayos nga mga artists/kanta nga indie. i heard you like indie songs :)

Hey, anon! Yup I solemnly love Indie songs. I’m pro Indie.

  • Alex Turner
  • Iron & Wine
  • Lana del Rey
  • Death Cab for Cutie
  • Keane
  • High Highs

I don’t normally post my artists of choice, so this one’s a first. Hope you enjoy listening to them as much as I do! 

Posting a photo diary (quite a long one) of my experience at the happiest place on earth, Disneyland

Even though I’m not 7 years old anymore, I was stilled amazed and had fun at the theme park. What can I say, I just love theme parks! 

I love that there was a lot of walking involved during our short trip in HK since I don’t walk nor even move that much back here in our town.

Anyhow, it’s back to reality (again) for me since we’ll be having a long test tomorrow for our Pharmacology class (50-item pretest and 25-item post-test, and that’s everyday). 

Happy Sunday, folks!
