Staycation at Bellini Suites

I can't believe I always let time pass before posting stuff here on my blog! Anyway, to get back on track, I'm scheduled to post 2 updates that was supposed to be for the year of 2017. So to start off, I'll just post the last adventure Jem and I did before ending 2017 with our respective families ;)

Socialization 101: Paws in the Park 2017

Last February 26, Paws in the Park held their annual dog fair at Greenfield District (near Shaw Boulevard). This was their 4th time gathering dog owners and dog lovers alike to enjoy the day at the park with their furry buddies.

Of course Jem and I went to check it out because (1) registration is for free, (2) we might get a chance to get some freebies, and most specially, (3) we wanted to take Cookie out to play with her fellow dogs.

Adulting 101: Sony a6500 Consumer Launch

When Kuya Noel, one of the running buddies of Jem's mom (see post here and here), PMed Jem that he saw a photography workshop offered by Sony, we immediately registered through the link he gave.

We didn't really expect much from this workshop since it was for free but we were nonetheless excited to attend one. Add to the fact that they will be conducting a raffle with a prize of one new Sony Alpha 6000!

Art Fair Manila 2017

I've worked in Makati for 2 years and I always hear about this Art Fair that is annually being held at the parking space of The Link located in Ayala. However, I always fail to have a chance to visit it. Come 2017, I found out the dates of this year's fair and I asked Jem to accompany my visit to Manila's very own art fair.

DIY: Cheap Fashionable Glasses

Let's take a break from all the travelling stuff because I just wanted to share this thing I do whenever I'm faced with the inevitable: "I need to change my eye glasses".

Yexel's Toy Museum

Since I'm (once again) being pressed to post some outdated activities we experienced for the past weeks of the year, I'll be posting quite some stuff for the following days (hopefully, I wouldn't break this promise I made AGAIN).

Like always, I've been bugging Jem to visit another place here in the Metro and when we saw this awesome deal in Metrodeal, I immediately bought it and asked him to set a date that is most convenient for him. So when he confirmed that we'll be going on January 21 (conveniently, our 3rd anniversary yihee), we searched for the easiest commute route we could take to get to Yexel's Toy Museum.

Walking the Dog: A Trip to the Past II

I know, I know, I've been quite the inactive blogger that I am for the past weeks. But I'm glad to inform you guys, that yes, I am still alive and kicking!

As the title of this post says, I'll be touring you once again to Intramuros BUT with an additional member! So without further ado, here's Cookie the amazing dog! hehe

A Trip to The Past

Ever since I started working along with photographers, I have been constantly curious about this activity they conduct which they call "Photo Walk". Because one of my colleague is a well established photographer, he had taught me some of the basics needed to take some shots that are quite pleasing to the eyes. So when Jem's mom bought a mirror-less camera, we took it out to check its abilities and put our amateur skills to the test by doing our own "Photo Walk" inside Intramuros.

Intramuros!

Festival of Lights

When I started working in Makati (back in 2014), Jem and I never had the chance to watch the very famous Festival of Lights during Christmas season in Ayala Triangle. It was a bit frustrating since the office I go to way back then was just a short walk from the said park. Add the fact that I have already gone there with my friends.

Couples! Couples everywhere!

Cats and Dogs

Hi everyone! So I'll be skipping one travel post since I haven't transferred the photos I took to my laptop HAHA. But worry not cause I promise I'll still post that one!

Moving forward, for our last date for the year 2016, Jem finally agreed to visit Bengal Brew Cat Cafe and Wolf & Bear Dog Cafe.

Christmas Tradition

Everyone has traditions which they tirelessly do every single year or how often they deem they should do it.

For Jem and I, ever since we started going out, we would always visit Meralco Liwanag Park located along Ortigas Avenue, during the holiday seasons. For one it's because it's free, and also because it's near Jem's family's condominium (meaning, we can eat at their house for free hehe).

Appreciating the Arts

Ticked off another one for my 2016 bucket list!!!

Complete tour @ National Philippine Museum

Late 2015, Jem and I went to visit the National Museum of the Philippines. But since we arrived there pretty late (it was probably already 3:30PM by then) we didn't get to see much of their displays.

Because of that, we promised that we'll get back and complete a day tour. Add the fact that Jem hasn't seen the gigantic painting of Juan Luna which is none other than The Spoliarium.

RE: Bucket List (For the Year 2015)

All right, since my blog needs to keep up with the times, I'll be updating my bucket list from last year with the last thing that I was able to scratch out from it LOL

• Have a picnic at some park somewhere.

So last year on the night of November 21, conveniently both our monthsary and the day before my 21st birthday, the boyfriend and I headed out to Rizal Park with Cookie the wonder dog to have a simple picnic :)

Cookie the Wonder Dog!
