10th November 2013

its our 2nd  wedding anniversary week  our first plan was to go to Las Vegas but we ended up cancelling our reservation and then we planned to have a fine dining but Wednesday night hubby changed his plan and he started looking for tickets and he almost reserve wrong date again to Bahamas its a good thing he told me to check it out first before he confirms it because he had history of booking a wrong date, wrong name lol any way when I checked it yea its wrong date  nov14-17 and I cant go that week end plus our anniversary is 9 so we tried to changed the date for 7 but it doest worked no available flights well bahams is not for us because last year for our first anniversary we planned too but that time I don’t have my green card yet so I cant go with out a visa and we don’t want to hassle to get a visa in Miami.
to cut the story short we didn’t find any cheaper tickets for the same day so we end up in Orlando instead no flight just drive lol.
early in the morning I packed our bags in 30minutes or less  and we are on our way but  because its a long drive 120+ miles he wanted to check the car first so we went to have a change oil first, car wash & car wax and corvette is good to go baby yeeehaww..
in some of our stop over I got a chance to take some photos, In Mcdo , in the in fort drum rest stops. and its  about check in time when  we arrived in comfort suites main gate Kissimmee, we love this hotel  just a walking distance from old town where great night out happens ( tomorrows post)
in this  last minute trip I packed our bags with in 30 minutes only or less I packed his bag first he don’t care what kind of clothes his gonna wear any way so its an easy job for me  I packed 3 shorts, 4 shorts, undies, socks and hunkies and that’s it, and here’s the difficult one my clothes lol. to start with I picked the shoes first which is the grey wedge sneakers since its grey I grabbed my Ck grey bag too hmmmpp that’s easy..and now the tricky one the clothes I open up my dresser took all the shorts out and choose I picked the white , pink and black body suits and everything follows, white  shorts +  baby pink shirt ( a day at holly wood studio) pink shorts+ ivory ( shopping day) black jumpsuit + white button down shirt ( todays post) black jumpsuit + striped cardigan ( night out @ old town)

rizal park

13th October 2013

a little history for you guys..
 Rizal parl / Luneta park Situated by Manila Bay, Luneta is also an important site in Philippine history. The execution of national hero Dr. José Rizal on December 30, 1896, sparked the 1898 Philippine Revolution against the Kingdom of Spain. The area was officially renamed Rizal Park in his honour, and the monument enshrining his remains serves as the symbolic focal point of the Park. The Declaration of Philippine Independence from the American Occupation was held at the Park on July 4, 1946 as were later political rallies including those of Ferdinand Marcos and Corazon Aquino in 1986 that culminated in the EDSA Revolution.
FYI the 2 monument that you can see is not Jose Rizal they are heroes  who fights for Philippine freedom . Jose Rizals monument was close that time and I believe until now is under construction so they close it but in the whole park you can see a lot of heroes monument too..
actually we didnt plan to go here but my sister and her family came late for Manila Ocean Park so we decided to roam around the park just to kill the time  I never been there  since 5th grade educational tour. 2011 with honey we got a chance to take pictures just  outside during  our kalesa ride  and I really forgot what  the park  look shame on me huh noting that I used to live near there  ( one ride ) way back in college..
this was my last 2 remaining days in  Manila before flying back to  Florida but it was a bad day really bec. before we finished roaming around the park hard rain started to pour down like crazy that also affect our manila ocean park adventure  ( will be post soon) and our whole night as well grrrrrrr..

family outing

11th October 2013

outing with my family .. one month is not enough for a vacation really specially when youre enjoying it  time flies like a bastard lol… my schedule was so uptight that before I know its almost about to for the 3rd week of my vacation I decided to treat my family for an outing in an inland resort we been thru mallings/shopping and dining out so its time for  swimming and I know kids are really looking forward to this so inspite of the weather condition (storm) we still go no time for backing out or else were not going to do it anymore for less than 5 days im flying back to manila HAIIIZZZZZ….
WELL  before I went home last month I been scooping for some resort and this resort interest me because its new and its a resort , park  and mini zoo at the same time  ( you can see an ostrich walking around , ponys, big snake, alligator,big  & small birds,ducks & chickens too )and a play place for children and if your into adventure the zipline will fulfill the thrill.
they also offer a kayaking but  I think its too small   plus I swear my self after the  brevard zoo kayaking that I wont do it again lol ,  I don’t do the zipline too because I want more heights and distance I been in residence zipline just before I went to Iloilo and that one is pretty high so going into a lower zipline will defeat the purpose of getting some rush awwww…
the pool is pretty huge plus they have smaller pools for children they have various accommodation too a hotel room, ac & fan room  and they also have day time cottages.
well we had fun im happy to see kids giggling and enjoying the water its precious..my parents didn’t swim though too cold for them but then  they enjoyed the place and  foodies..
what I wore?

limited top ( white top)

Hijo banana beach Tagum City Davao Del norte

7th October 2013

day 3 of my Davao trip was a trip to tagum city Davao del norte  so I tour around Davao for 3 days Davao city , Davao del sur  & Davao del norte.
hijo banana beach is awesome the place is huge it has a fair entrance fee 750php per person but its consumable   we used our money for  food and forest tour.. food services are very slow though its maybe depends on the no. of guests but its real slow just the 8 of us and our food came more than an hour its really ridiculous to prepare  food that  long as if they still catching fish in the ocean or slaughtering pig to cook as our jokes went by as were waiting for our food but a hungry stomach really irritated us..
what I enjoyed much was the forest tour seeing trees  of a century old really  amazed me thousands of storms & earthquakes came by and the old trees stood still…hectares of coconut plantation as well for they also make coco sugar and coco syrup, some wild animals like monkeys the tour guide said they have 3 packs of monkeys , as we droved by the forest we saw a wild pigs roaming around too.. and the highlights of the tour was the 9 station hanging bridge cool… I been in  hanging bridge already like a hanging bridge made of steel in my home town luckily we visited that hanging bridge before the typhoon frank ruined it the next year after we visited it, its not that scary bec it is well constructed that even motor bikes goes thru in it.. and the hanging bridge made of small wood as the base and like a fishing net in abha Saudi Arabia that’s the craziest hanging bridge ive went too its really hard to walk into it for its too small the base is too small.. and this 9 station hanging bridge its way too long for a hanging bridge its a good thing that theres  a station that u can rest if you want too we had a blast..
after the tour we still have remaining credits so we ordered onion rings and hoping it wont take much time..
swimming in the infinity pool is free of charge but we dint prepare for swimming so we just enjoyed the view and taking photos around it..
around 330 pm we left the place and headed to road way inn to rest for the night before going home to Iloilo the next day..
the whole trip made me so tired not just the Davao trip but the whole trip from Florida to Atlanta, Atlanta to Korea and Korea to Manila , manila to Iloilo and Iloilo to Davao  and Davao to Iloilo a lot of flying and trip in one week ..tnx God I survive it..
as sooon as I got my hotel key and waved good bye to donzskie I took a shower and took a nap and woke up with a hungry tummy after an hour so I decided to go to the mall to eat and roam around.. after I got tire of roaming around the mall I went back to the hotel and enjoyed the wifi lucky me  I can access the WIFI in my room for my room is just above the reception area I guess bec when I checked in the receptionist told me that the WIFI access is just in the lobby area..
and that’s my last night in Davao city..
what I wore?

Arizona shorts too bad I accidentally left this in Philippines

jacksonville florida

last Friday  out of the blue my husbands called informing us that his coming on  Jacksonville Florida and he wants us to meet him there. We haven't seen him for almost a year since we left Saudi Arabia  so we decided to drive in JAX, a 4hour drive from home (240miles)...we looked for a hotel online and his friend told us to get this hotel instead bec. its just near in his mothers house. Friday night after they talked I packed our bags I just randomly picked my& my husbands clothes for me I already had this combos in my head , every time I shopped  a clothes ,shoes or accessories I will go to my closet and think what outfit I can create with this so in time that I cant think what to wear or in were in a hurry I have something stored in my mind. I prepared  3 sets of clothes bec. hubby told me that we might stop in Daytona.
Saturday around 3am he wakes up and told me maybe we should prepare and leave no way I still wants to sleep lol.. at around 7am were on our way  we made some stops like gas station, dunkin donuts for breakbast and rests stops. We arrived  in Jacksonville around lunch time checked in our hotel room and waited for his friend to pick us up to have lunch and to paint the town red.. We had lunch @ bonos BBQ after spinning around for some restos.  The food was great I like the steaks. after lunch we drive to earnies house to meet his mom shes a sweet lady. and then we proceed to the downtown .and we end up in Culhanes irish pub its a nice place  they had couple of drinks and just water for me waaaahhhh..lol I hate drinking outside my house bec. in my house if I get drunk who cares im in my house.and then after the pub we went to Jacksonville landings and we had fun it happens that they had jazz festival stall are all over, beers, booze, accessories, clothes but I don't see anything that I like so I didn't buy any what a shame ..lol.. we went to hooters too and im  a hooters  collector but they don't have  tank top or cute shirt so I didn't buy any grrrr.... I hate it.. I enjoyed walking there eat some foods and just simply looking for people and listening to jazz music.. we headed home around 9pm. and I was so tired so I never post on my blog yesterday..
