Birthday Getaway Snaps

sagadalaunion

I'm back from the dead! Jk. My work welcomes me back and the reality that I am now a year older and hopefully, wiser. Can you guess my age? Haha! :P

My birthday getaway was nothing short of awesome. The whole trip was humbling and it made me more grateful for what I have. How nature never fails to amaze me and the kindness of strangers we've encountered along the way. :)

I can't wait to share with you my Sagada-La Union Birthday Getaway!

Countdown

countdown

Yes I like to count the days.
I like to get anxious excited for wonderful things to come. Looking forward to things keeps me going. Also explains my 'hit high, crash hard' attitude whenever plans get totally cancelled, 'coz I don't easily give-up. I always keep myself ready for Plan B-Z. But when things are not really meant to happen, man, do I get down in the dumps.

Sooooo much plans for this month! I can't wait to accomplish them all. :)

I Got Caught by the Awesome April Storm!

This year's Summer is definitely one of the hottest. I am not even motivated to go out because of the heat.

What I love about Summer is that I know that it's close to my birthday and I always get excited. I believe two years ago, I started to celebrate my birthday for the whole month (extending the fun is well, always FUN!). My April is surely busy busy busy this year. Last year was simple, my birthday fell on an Easter Sunday. Had a birthdate with a fellow April Girl, Krissy. :) Went to Baguio all by myself to spend a good post-birthday with my Happy Pill. Had a crazy buffet dinner at Sofitel Spiralwith some of my good friends, where I seriously had my first dose of overeating. And the Paying it Forward Outreach we did that capped it all.

This year's plans are different and it's not even half of the month yet!

My first of April and I got to check something off my Bucket List.

YES!! SWIMMING WITH THE WHALESHARKS in Oslob!!! It was a very humbling and amazing moment. I was in awe. And it got really close to us! It was a part-scary, part-exciting moment. Them wonderful creatures God made. How I wish I knew how to swim. I basically relied to my life jacket the whole time. Nonetheless, it was nothing short of awesome. I'm so thankful for the experience.

Holy Week was spent in the comfort of our homes and work but came Black Saturday, it was
HELLO YELLOW.

No, that is not a wig. And yes, I am crazy that I bleached my hair and it turned into this golden yellow shade. It was not the color I was rooting for but I was happy with the outcome anyway! I was going for blonde, but it will take a lot of bleaching and I am not yet that crazy to murder my hair. I was planning to get it done in a salon, but dang too expensive :( it was not worth it to shell out that much cash for my vanity, I'd rather travel.

So far, Awesome April is keeping its awesome-ness steady. And I want to make it more awesome!
Last night, D and I watched Titanic 3D. And I just got more scared of open waters. But the movie still has it's Titanic magic. Plus Leonardo (Jack) was a plus. *wink wink*

We were supposed to have our Secret Recipe Unli Cakes and Coffee vouchers redeemed early today but the cafe was closed. ;__; So we ended up having our merienda + dinner in a resto serving Singaporean dishes (Yay for Hainanese Chicken!), I'll save a separate post about it.

The weekend was spent nicely and filled with fun things (TG for holidays!), I am overly thankful and I can't wait what the rest of Awesome April will bring.

April is for Sleeping.

Welcome April. You're my birthmonth. But as I am writing this post, I am feeling really really sleepy. Like tired kind of sleepy.


I'm behind my backlogs and it's piling up. But the past few days had been too busy and work isn't helping either. I reaaaally want to get more zzz's. Can't wait for the weekend so that I can sleep longer as I want. I also promise I'll be working on my backlogs this coming weekend. My April is being too hectic already. But I'm thankful despite the not so good state I'm in right now. I've lost my zeal for April but there's still hope.
