Month's diary: Sauntering

April's almost over which means that my junior year in med school is fast approaching. Still thinking, did I ever use my month long vacation wisely? For one, as you already know, I have been to a 2 day stay at Gensan for my aunt's 60th. The days after I arrived went on a routine because I kinda had some schedule. Waking up at 9, out for lunch at 11, strolling wherever from that till about 9 then back home, and sleeping thereafter. Haven't got the chance to go by the beach which isn't a problem because I am not a fan of the sun, salty water, and the sand.:)) Here are some of the shots I got while I've been out. They basically condense the idea of the things I've been into recently.

what I wore during the bus ride to GS || krua thai interior

korean chocolates || spicy spare ribs & bagoong rice (omnomnom!) || banana cue|| my failed attempt to a panna cotta recipe

my aunt's home interior

my daily company <3 || helping out my cousin whose starting her online shoppe || neaving || dog love

Aside from these, I also went back to playing counter strike, battle realms, and learned DOTA on those few days when we chose to stay home. I was also introduced to top gear & mythbusters by no other than my man. :) twas really fun!

So, being away from the scorching heat and not being able to wear those all bearing bikinis, doesn't really mean I lost all the summer fun. On the contrary, I had all the relaxing time with my loved ones and I can say that I am really for another brain wrecking ride at school (though.. uhm. I am not necessarily ecstatic about this) this May.

Hope you had a wonderful April too!:)

Early Dinner

Its been 2 weeks since my last post since I had been out all the time with a loved one who came for to stay in the city for a month. Always came home tired, so. Anyways, he's going home tonight, and this is what we had for dinner at 4 pm (actually, twas supposed to be a snack but we got stuffed to get another meal). Not a big fan of sushi and Japanese food myself, but I'd say the food we had was tasty and affordable. To learn more about this food destination, you can check the location, menu, and rates here.

I have always loved long road trips. 

More importantly, I love riding on a bus.

 Here are the reasons why:

1.  Other passengers sleep, I don't. Hence, its a peaceful time to think, rest, and sight see.

2. There's always a noticeable transition of what people do at different places at about the same time of the day.

3. It makes me feel tall from seeing many things at a distance. (with cars, I only see the road, and it drifts me to sleep right then and there...)

4. My mom's 'interesting' and bountiful choice of trip snacks.

These pictures are ones taken from my recent trip to Gensan for my aunt's 60th birthday. Its a 4-hour ride(yes, managed to stay up all the way). Just sharing a breath of fresh air as the road to the destined city is through the province --thick forests, green grass, animals, and people at their simplest lives.

our travel packs.

workers rappelling down the steep slope. I think their trying to fix the area to prevent a landslide? - i THINK. :))

reminded me of freshly cooked bibingka we bought along the road back on trips when I was really young.

 welcome.

I dream to learn how to ride one someday.

this picture reperesents one of the hundred similar scenes I saw throughout the trip. Men having some refreshments on stores and women doing chores. Both, also watching tv at the same time. :)

Plain and polka

Hi! I went kinda bored awhile ago s'why I remembered this pink polka midi skirt I bought from a friend last month. Haven't got wear it ever 'cause I had difficulty finding clothes to match with it, without clashing with my personal style. With much time in my hands, I searched my closet and finally pulled these stuff together. Do you think I got this one right? :)

dark blue polo: damit atbp.

skirt: i2 collections

sling Bag: fashioncode101

sandals: mendrez

Just dance

Just a few of some pics I took while I and my friends played this video game last night. t'was an excellent fun filled and fat burning activity even though it wore us out big time! Nevertheless, I still can't wait to do it the next time around.. :D

"With Ice Cream" <[)

yesterday's the last of our grueling 2-week long finals and tho exhausted, we chose to spend the rest of our fading moments of being a sophomore at our friend's house. The original plan was supposedly a cook off between 2 groups, original menu being a pasta and a dessert. However, we just grew tired as the day went on so we skipped cooking and made this easy dessert instead. Aside from the amazing cheese filled dinner served, this sweet treat really made my day.  Took us 1 min preparation and then, chow!:) Yes, just the regular brownie ala mode but after 14 days of hard core suffering, a bit of palate bliss takes you places.

what we used:

 bought box of brownies

dark chocolate

Super thick vanilla ice cream

Chocolate crispies

easy eh?

and.... VOILA!
