Still I call it magic...

Boracay with Girlfriends 2015

Hurray for out of town trips with girlfriends!!! Can't believe how much I needed this R&R with my girls. I think beach trips during the rainy season have become our tradition!

We arrived on a rainy Friday and the wind was too strong. Of course, that didn't stop us from strolling around and having a good time.

The next day was a lot better. We had bright blue skies and the sun was excruciatingly hot.

Golden State Warriors

Congratulations to this season's NBA champs: the Golden State Warriors!!! What an exciting series! What a great team. What an inspiring win.

Bad Blood by Taylor Swift

Okay so here's a secret. I am a Swiftie. And I've been really excited about this new single for days now since I found out Ellen Pompeo (avid Grey's Anatomy fan here) was part of the music video. 

And boy oh boy was she not the only one in it. We have Selena Gomez, Karlie Kloss, Cindy Crawford, Mariska Hargitay (Law and Order fan here), Jessica Alba, Martha Hunt, Cara Delevigne, Lena Dunhan, and basically the rest of the sexiest and fiercest celebrity friends of TS. 

And now I feel ugly and fat and very miserable after watching that video. Thank you TS!

#MichaelandhisArmie (Destination Wedding)

My high school friends and I have been so lucky to be invited in my friend's sister's wedding. I know right? That's a lot of association right there. While I've never really spent a decent amount of time with the bride, I've known her for a long time thanks to the maid of honor which happens to be my high school friend.

This was actually a destination wedding since none of the newlyweds are from Cebu. Ate Armie is from Negros and Kuya Michael is from Luzon. They've been both based in New Jersey for a while now and along with their family and friends, they travelled far and wide all the way to Cebu to celebrate the wedding.

A few months ago, a mini-zoo opened a few kilometres north of my town and I've had the chance to visit the place one bright sunny afternoon right before the Holy Week.

From what we learned from some of the tour guides, this was just a temporary area while the real zoo was under construction. For now, they still have a few animals moving around but the owners will be importing more. The animals are all still caged but the area will be safari-like once they relocate to a much wider ground.

Amazing Amaga

Mama and I have been meaning to trek this part of her hometown late last year but we were warned on how bad it could get to go into the mountains during storm season. We decided to hold off until the start of the summer and so did we!

Amaga is a sitio in the northwestern side of Guihulngan City. My 90-year old lola has a wide area of land handed down from her side of the family and one of our relatives has decided to use it for agriculture.

It's a 25-minute travel by habal-habal from the city proper but you won't be able to get into the sitio without trekking for another 30 minutes or so.

By the way, I have a very crappy video and another set of low-quality photos in this blog.

Fifty Accents with Jamie Dornan

I admit that I've never really heard about this hot stud before the fifty shades era but I'm quite into how mysterious his aura is. There's something about him that makes me want to know him more (in different languages).

Golden Globes 2015 (Opening Monologue)

"Good evening and welcome you bunch of despicable spoiled minimally talented brats!" Love them both! 

Jimmy Fallon Blew a Chance with Nicole Kidman

I mean we all had this kind of moment in our lifetime right? That kind when you're in an unexpected date with someone you really really like but somehow, he screws it all up with all his geeky and awkward antics. 

Love this candid interview! But "It's too late baby! The ship has sailed, okay Nicole? Taken! I am taken!" LOL 

They would've made a cute couple tho.
