PUMP GAS DASHING

Before I start, I am wishing a happy Eid al-Fitr to all my muslim friends and readers out there. It's a long weekend here in Philippines so everyone grabbed the chance to enjoy it. My sister Donna is enjoying it by going home here in Bicol. Yes, she's here in our hometown Daet. You know how happy I am when we are together! Because I have my "sister" slash "photographer" slash "driver" and most of all my "best friend". I love my sister so much!! She just arrived this morning from an eight hour travel time from Manila. I know she's stressed or tired from the trip but she still managed to company me for this. 

We stopped in this Shell gas station to pump some diesel and this is also the opportunity to have a photo on this kind of location. I want to try some other places now, aside from streets and gardens. Like what I have put on my August Mood Board. So gas station is now marked as check!

Jose Panganiban Love

These photos was taken in Jose Panganiban, Camarines Norte. That place was very memorable to me. When we were still young, my siblings and cousins always go there and play. We called it "Tabing Dagat", It's a very peaceful and calm water, where you can just sit, chat and watch the sunset. I will surely never forget the memories that I had in this place. True happiness I can say. My whole family from the side of my mother can testify that.

What I wore from this post was the top that I got from PROMOD. Remember the giveaway that I won from Lissa Kahayon? Click HERE if not. This neon top got my attention from the rest of the collection because the color is shocking plus the cut is not normal, the rest are so plain. Thanks Lissa Kahayon and Promod!! :)

NEW IN

Tadaaaah! Yehey, got this two platform wedges yesterday at buy one and take the second pair half its price. Awesome right?! They are both from PRIMADONNA, SM Naga.

I'm so excited to use this sandals for my sem break here in Bicol, they are so high and very comfortable to walk. The first picture, its just like your wearing a very flat slippers. And the second one, I think I can run on those pair, because of the rubber at the bottom of it.

TWENTYONE

 Yesterday was a Good Friday, but it doesn't mean that I can't be happy or celebrate my special day. We celebrated my 21st birthday in Chef Mama. It's a newly opened restaurant here in Daet, Camarines Norte, Bicol Region.

The place was so beautiful! We seated at the lagoon pavilions. Its peaceful and relaxing.

 Order time!! The menu book was so big, big like a wedding album. It was full of delicious dishes, and the pictures will make you crave and you will be delighted to go back and try the other viands.

 Here are some of what we ordered. Baked Tahong, Big Pla-pla, Cordon Bleu, Tinumok, etc. Their prices are very reasonable. I'm surely will go back in there.

  BLOW TIME. I'm maarte, I want a cake for my birthday. Sayang ang wish noh! I had decadent chocolate cake from Caramel Bakeshop.

Guess what I wished for. :)

My Maundy Thursday

I'm back in Bicol again for the Holy Week. Our university gave us 5 days off to school. Oh yeah, another vacation for me.

Every year, we always spent Thursday of Holy week at my Lolo and Lola's house (father side) in Talisay, Camarines Norte.

 

1. Penitensya, there was a lot of man who joined the public penance every year. Since I was little.

2. Me, feeling pretty under the sun.

3. Beautiful flowers from my Lola Estela's garden. She really loves plants and flower ever since. 

4. Cactus, for me they're amazing.

5. Kwentuhan with Lola and bro, while drinking soda. I told them it should be a tea party. The setting was perfect for it, very relaxing.

6. Haha, I just saw it when I hyper extended my neck. I find it cute, It was like a couple watching the sky. OMG, I'm kinda weird lately!! Am I in love? Tsk tsk

It's my birthday tomorrow. It's Black Friday! I hope everything will be nice. :)

3rd Day: Hometown Tour

On the third day, we just decided to go around Daet, Camarines Norte. 

Joyce and I want them to see and experience the place we grew up to.

Our town is just small, so its kinda easy to see the important places like "Unang bantayog ni Rizal, our provincial capitol, etc".

But before we start the sight seeing, we need to load up ourselves with energy drink, 1st day to 2nd day was tiring. And this tour needs a lot of walking.

First stop, our provincial capitol. Haha, I know I look like a tourista too. Feeling lang! You knew me.

 Me, Sandra and Onin

Then to the first ever bantayog ni Rizal

 After doing this hippie thing, we brought them to our school CNSC-LHS, then we showed to Sandra the NOVO store. She didn't have any idea what was Novo all about because she grew up in Manila. So we said, it was like Zara, where you can find variety of jeans and basic shirts. LOL! :))

After all the walks and goofing around on some stores. We got tired and hungry, it means eating time. We had our merienda at KSarap. It's one of the favorite restaurant in Daet. The place is cool and refreshing. There are sounds of running water and a lot of plants in the surroundings.

 See, the light was very good.

This is Onin's camera. I want a handy cam too!

2nd Day: Camarines Sur

Our next destination? Camarines Sur! One and a half hour drive from our place Daet, Camarines Norte.

Before going to CWC or CamSur Watersports Complex. We dropped by at the Basilica Minore de Peñafrancia, to see INA. Every September, thousands of devotees make a pilgrimage to this city for the Peñafrancia Festival.

CWC TIME

Not that excited because it was my 2nd time already. We just brought Onin and Sandra to experience the famous wakeboarding park.

Wooh! That was me. :P

I still feel some mild body pain until now. But its all worth it! CWC was FUN FUN FUN. 

Meet my Bicolano Friends

Right after Bagasbas beach, I just had a quick shower at home, changed clothes and I hurriedly went to Kenji's house. Kenji was my classmate back in high school. He invited us for an early dinner at their place to celebrate his post birthday and his graduation in Ateneo. 

Congratulations KENNETH JAMES LEE BORILE!

{L-R: Pauie, Me, Kenji, Ading, Angela, Macky}

And I finally met Pauie and Angela (Kenji's nobya).

I really don't want to miss this event. Because through out the years, since high school, Kenji always throw out a party on his birthday and I'm always absent because of some different valid reasons. :( At least I made this 2011. Thanks for the dinner pretty boy.

1st Day: Bagasbas Beach

Went to Bagasbas beach in the afternoon. Even Daet wasn't hot like summer. 

But I loved how the waves hit me. I'm a masochist, you know. Kidding! 

Pacific Ocean :P

That is Bagasbas Beach. Considered as one of the best surfing sites in the Philippines with swells reaching 3-6 feet which is ideal for beginners. On a lucky day it can reach up to eight feet.
