Holiday in Cebu: Day 3 & 4

Sorry if I haven't been updating my blog that much, I'm just feeling a bit under the blogging weather lately. Heh. I'm just enjoying the last few days of 2011 by relaxing and spending it with friends. :) Will be back to regular programming next year (or tomorrow?hehe). Anyway, I'm now back in my messy apartment (argh)! Here are photos from the last 2 days from my Cebu trip. I had a blast, as always. :) No decent outfit posts for this one. Sowee.

breakfast of the champions! heh

at Papa Kitz recreation park or something


It's funny coz all the clothes I brought with me are beach and tambay clothes! It was the best decision to bring my favorite sneaks--my red Keds! At least I looked a little sporty. D lang bagay mag zipline ng naka oxfords or ballet flats! Lols. And this was also the only decent shorts I brought with me, just wore cycling shorts underneath. Argh. Borrowed the hoodie from Mich, it's the same one I slept in. Award.

no sleep at all look. getting ready for the zipline!

stylish

no rest for the wicked! Annnd...hello kuyukot scandal! (dont ask me what that means haha)

Mich's sis and mom

me and my pink helmet!

me and the lowtide hehe

me, the fucktard wooden stopper and my startled candid face. i love you guys so kahit nakakahiya i'm sharing this weird pic. Haha.

si mich naman!


Rested a bit and snacked on this...
kamote + lechon! nomnomnom

Went fishing afterwards!
fishing rods were rented out for P75
Cottage rental was P600 

finding our lucky spot.

After an hour--Mich's sis finally caught 1! But she let it go coz baby pa daw. hehe

one hand fishing.. yeaaah me already! haha

Me to the fisheses: F@#4k y'all! Mga user! (after eating my bait & fish food for the nth time)

at location #3. nakakapagod mag lagay ng bait paulitulit.Grr.

After more than 2 hours, badtrip na. Haha.

So Mich and I gave up and just slept the remaining hours away. Lol! Her sister caught 2 big ones though! So thank you Steph for saving our lives and for our lunch. Haha!

i didn't eat the fish though. i can't eat them when I saw them alive an hour before. Lol. 

Paid P800+ for our delicious lunch. And can I just say, I find the fish, kilo and pay rule stupid. After all the hours we've squandered and effort we've exerted catching the fish, can they just give it to us for free as a reward? Haha. Just sayin'! I had a great siesta though. So yeah it was fun. :)

After our short excursion, they dropped us off at the hotel and I slept til 9pm. We then headed to the Sendong fundraising event at Kartzone to meet some of my Cebu blogger loves. :)

 with Yves, Eden and Pax (yes may kapangalan ako! haha)

with toni and eden

yves, me, toni and van

Kudos to Eden and her teammates for organizing this! It was a huge success!!!:) I wish I stayed longer, but sadly I had work so I had to go back to the hotel agad.

stopped at Mr. Coffee for a late night dinner!

cute interiors

they have a diverse menu, so much affordable and food's delicious

Here are the clothes I bought from the fundraising pop up bazaar!
gorgeous brick red metallic dress for P300 (fits perfectly!)

chunky knit sweater for P350

The next day, I met up with 2 of Cebu's bonggang bloggers--Vanessa and Eden for a few hours of thrift shopping! Love these girls:) They're so much fun to be with. They're also 2 of the most real people/bloggers I've ever met. :)

showing off their fab finds!

:)

We were supposed to go to this place called Carbon to buy accessories but it rained (been raining here for days!), so we just ended up chillin in a restaurant called Kuls Kitchen. Food was great! Too bad I wasn't able to take photos na. Got busy exchanging stories with my loves. Heh. Fun times.

So that's it! As always, I can't wait to go back. :) I wanna end this post by sending my love and greeting you all a very late Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year!!! Bring it on 2012! We're ready for ya. See you guys next year! Bukas na yun! Haha. Have to sleep now, big street party at my lola's house later! Toodles!:)

P.S. Don't forget to join my The Little Things She Needs & Gifts Ahoy giveaways!

I'm in Vintage Heaven

I don't usually go down South coz it's like another country to me, seriously. But when I got an invite to check out Funky Plum Vintage--a boutique in Pergola Mall, BF Paranaque--it swayed me and of course I said yes. They had me at the word "vintage". Heeh. The owners were also kind enough to fetch me at someplace I know (glorietta) and then dropped me off after. Now that's what you call great service!:)

Anyway, here are the photos from my visit the other day. I hope you appreciate their amazing store interiors and lovely items as much as I do. 


Funky Plum Vintage is a specialty store that offers personalized boutique type services such as personal shopping, style consultations, customization & alteration. Their inventory consists of one-of-a-kind designer stock lots (Marc Jacobs, Balenciaga, Chloe, DVF, etc.). Their pieces are all vintage or vintage-inspired.

The first thing I noticed is their store set-up/interiors. It's very well designed, well thought of.
Their window display is so nice too! Even the styling. I love it.

Also got to meet the store's gorgeous owners who were sooooo nice, machika & accommodating. :)

 Sheila's gorgeous accs! Made by FPV's artisan:)

So without further ado, here's a tour of their lovely store and all the treasures you'll find inside. All items were personally handpicked by the owners! Wanna know the best part? Items are priced reasonably. Nothing above P1k except for their handmade accessories. Temptation island at it's best! Hehe. Oh and did I tell you they alter for free?:)

 dresses galore

 gorgeous maxi dress! love the super low back:)

 
 love the patchwork on this jacket!

pants/trousers

 
my favorite--a fully beaded/sequined dress!

lace love (with owner Sheila)

Sheila demonstrating how to wear their brand new but vintage designed multiway top. They're coming up with new designs/styles, so watch out for it!

Of course they don't just offer clothes, FPV also carries chic & affordable accessories --bags, shoes, necklaces, headpieces, belts and more! 


authentic Balenciaga bag (didnt ask how much hehe)

Can't help but notice this ultra chic zebra print boots, Eco bags & cute buttons

more necklaces & H&M heels

necklaces, head pieces, sunnies

love their wire accs, wooden square cuffs, oversized pearl necklace & feather hairpiece!

Their accessories are specially designed & crafted exclusively for FPV by a skilled artisan:) Cool huh? 

They're made of copper & brass hardware mixed with semi precious stones:)

love the feather details!

Accs shelf

original vintage & modern vintage shoes

vintage bags

cute rings

This belt was owned by the owner's grandma! I think they're gonna sell replicas of this soon, yey!:)

I really had so much fun trying on a whole rack of clothes (hehe) and talking to the owners! My photog friend Christine also dropped by, so double the fun! She also tried on clothes and wasn't  able to resist buying a cute vintage green/yellow dress. :)

Thank you again Sheila & Tata for one amazing shopping night/experience!

I'm in vintage heaven:)

I was so lucky coz they made me take home my favorites. Thank you Sheila!
