::Artrageously Unique & Exotic ::

After Sunday mass, we spent the whole day doing last minute shopping in Manila. I thought I should have resist doing some shopping since it's not my actual main purpose being there. I'm there for sight-seeing. But who could do such thing? I love shopping in Manila! :) Besides glorious shopping here, I simply love it where snacks and fast food joints & stalls are endless! I had a great time munching & trying on food as much as I can. I make it a point that every new place I visit, it's a must to taste something not familiar to myself. When I got tired of shopping, I saw this 'Serenitea' signboard. It reminded me of my Pinoy blogger friend, Carlos. He love it so much, I'm not sure how many times I saw him tweeted about it. Again, my curiosity hit me. So I decided to give it a shot. I fell in love. The best bubble tea I've had ! Me and giving Daddy a treat with a 'Serenitea' drink while waiting for the rest finished doing shopping. While chill...

It's a holiday but I can't help it, I am up already. So much for getting used to being an early riser. I was listening to Era. fm KK since last week....so rare, it's not usual. Saw someone re-tweeted DJ Illy's tweet about the Rock Zone pass for ' Konsert ERA KK ' the day before and without any second thought, I tweeted DJ Illy that I was going to call her to win the pass. As soon as I heard the queue to call, I grab my cellphone and dialled the number. Wait, I didn't even press the numbers, I immediately press the call button. So yeah, I pre -saved it... Haha :P When I heard Illy's voice, I was like saying this in my head," What the heck , did I just do?" But I continued doing what I'm supposed to do. I think I embarrassed myself singing on Malay local radio station for the first time...Yikes! Thank goodness for that kind DJ, I got a free 4 Rock Zone passes to see my favourite bands live on 11th June! Wheee....I'm over the moon,...

Good morning from the City State Hotel... Was having my American breakfast with Kuya Fie while watching the morning news on television at the hotel's cafe. While waiting for Rey, to drive us and the rest of the family members to Tagaytay and other destination that day. Toasted bread, egg & ham and a glass of orange juice to go with. ♥ On the way up to Tagaytay, we've passed through some luxury homes ,where some famous people & celebs homes are. I love it when most of their house is influenced by the American home design. Makes me want to own a property there. But it's kind of expensive to own one there since the land is limited and especially when it comes to certain area. Spent the whole morning and afternoon in the chapel & awesome Taal Lake view in Tagaytay. And had probably the best 'bulalo' dish there! It was so worth it. After lunch, we headed back down to Manila for a few hours of shopping at malls and ended the late night with sushi's for...

I sang this song once, record it and sent. That was actually my first time & I got addicted to doing that daily. I love that song so much I could memorize the lyrics in an instant, each word meant something. And it has become my lullaby each night ever since. One particular song caught my attention and I remember watching it on Youtube almost every day and I actually got active again on my Reverbnation account just because of this. It was put on repeat mode. And Oh boy, I didn't realize I've been on that site for such a long time now. *shy* And that lullaby I would love to call mine is actually by a local Sabahan band called The Ariez . Before this, I swear I've heard of them but I never really care of their existence till a friend told me that he was in that band. That friend of mine will be remain anonymous.

Is it just pure coincidence to be admiring two people with the same first name? Tall and good looking guys and both have the talent in music? An A+ on my list... But I can go on dreaming. Ahhhhh..... *melts* Hee :D

After our last bite of Vigan breakfast, bags are all packed and we were ready to leave again .And as we headed out from the hotel, there was a parade going on outside. But too bad we need to go to finished up our itinerary before going back to Manila. Schedule's too tight we had no time. It was already night time when we arrived. Hello Manila, I've missed you! With Daddy as our guide, he's an expert in this, off we went! Into the streets of a busy city, we went to look for dinner. It took us for some time to finally decide what we wanted to eat. Filipino Chinese food, nyums! Did some shopping I thought I don't need to, oops! :P And to think that it's been like for 4 years since my last trip, I am still familiar with this mall. So much for loving this place. And you know what? I'm missing Krispy Kreme donuts for dessert already! :(

First step out from the vehicle we were in and already you took my breath away. Few hours of journey from Laoag, we finally arrived in Vigan City. When we got there it was lunch time! We were starving and got our first bite & taste of Illocano-Vigan food! Ooh whee, I am a happy food lover :) After a filling happy tummy, we walked halfway around the historical city and went for the kalesa ride, mine with my big kuya to finished up the whole town tour. Night came as we finally finished our city tour. Back to the hotel room again for some showering and rested for a while. After watching & enjoying some Pinoy show on the television, we were out again. Off for some late dinner and some entertainment. We wanted to go for a videoke session but found non good one. This is a quiet little city, for someone like me, it' hard not to fall in love. Ended up with lots of chatting & sharing stories outside the cafe, having supper of good seafood, tilapia fish, squids and all as pulut...

No one recommended it to me or even introduced them to me to before. It's just a typical day surfing the net on a social networking site that I stumbled upon this band. And it was love at first heard? Or should I say first sight? ^_^ It didn't even occurred to me that 'someone' was in the band too. And what was this particular familiar face doing there? I didn't even have a itsy bitsy single clue that 'someone' has something to do with music. Curiousity it kills me, damn it's true. So being the person that I am, I go searching for an answer. I found a couple of videos on Youtube. Their previous performances were a -Awesome! And when I got to know about their single 'Paradise', oh man, I was completely hooked! You probably knew who I'll be talking about if you pay enough attention to my previous blog post and Twitter and other social networking status updates. While singing some songs playing on the stereo , sitting tapping my feet on the gro...

It's 1st of May already. Oh wow, that time is ticking again ..... Sunday like this feels a bit rare and unusual. Maybe it's been too long now. My tummy felt uneasy. I'm not sure why. After a while, I got the hang out of it. I think. Thank goodness for the music. Yes, I am always thankful for the creation of it. Cause I am a fan. It plays an important role in me, it heals my soul. What do I do without it? Today was a Awesome! Cause it was filled with good vibes, good music and happy people! Will definitely blog about this in detail if I have time. :)
