Image
When  I woke up  this  morning , Kris has already  left  waking up  in  a little bit drizzly  day  isn't my  thing ,  fortunately  there was coffee in  the  room  courtesy  of the  hotel, so i used it I was to darn  lazy  to  go to  Starbucks  which is  located  in    the hotel's lobby. A Peek thru a rainy  Tuesday  morning  in our Hotel's window Our Scrounchy  Bed After cleaning  up  our bed,   I  was getting ready  to  get a shower and catch  the next train  bound for  the city  while  I prep  myself to a brewed coffee ...... All the stuffs I needed to  make my coffee  My  brewed Coffee ^_^ I also  prepared  my  stuffs in the closet . Hang everything that  needed to  be hung  (I'm kinda a neat  freak  when it comes to  this stuff ) while I  was  taking mini  sips from my  coffee,   and also drying up  my  hair,  my  phone rang and it was my  cousin , I totally  forgot that  it's almost  lunch  time yikes! So  we both  agreed tha

Washington, DC : 1st Day [ A Walk or Two - Dinner Time]

Image
We walked around the city  for awhile then when our stomachs was calling to our attention ... BOOM! We really had to  eat dinner already  and ended up  chowing down in RICE BAR who is famous for their BIBIMPAP or literally  in English means mixed rice that  is topped out with    namul   (sautĆ©ed and seasoned   vegetables ) and   gochujang   ( chili pepper   paste) . We were lucky  that  we are still able to  get something to  eat  because we did arrived in the resto's location a little late and they  are about to  clean up  the place until we showed up  and gladly   we were able to  pick our  food. Kris got brown rice while I  got the white rice topped with  some bean sprouts, eggplant , bamboo shoots and korean kimchi  . We also  ordered some  California Roll  to go with our  dinner . After chwoing down, we noticed that  it was darker than we entered and we had to   go  back to  our hotel since Kris's  seminar starts at 7:30ish  in the morning. As we hurried down th

Destination : Washington, DC 1st Day

It's around  1pm  when  my  cousin  dropped by and picked me up  at  the house while  I  was  doodling and scribbling sites to  go  to  in  DC  ( a habit of mine whenever I  go somewhere , I  list an Itenerary  that  I  do follow once in destination ) Our travel  to PA to  DC says that  it will  only take 2 hrs  and 34 minutes to  get to our destination  , but since  this trip  is my 1st ever to DC and cous's  2nd trip  but in a different route I guess, we had to  rely on Ms. GPS  of iPhone4s. So  our trip  to DC was a smooth  one despite of the crazy traffic that  we had encounter while on our way  and hd a little discussion about some blooming trees that  had this  terrible smell (literally  smells like ughhh gross ) Pyrus calleryana or simply called a Pear tree a native of China / Taiwan that  was brought here in  the states during the 1900's , pretty  trees when in bloom but terrible smell  though  >_< As we approached DC the weather seemed to be coop

Roadtrip Prep !

I was excited to  go on a road trip  with  my cousin whom  will  be having her   seminar in  our Nation's Capital ( Washington, DC ) with free hotel  and gas trip , C'mon guys who could pass up on that? So I  could not resist that  offer besides living in the United States in my teen and early adult life, I never had the glance to even see  the White House although Pennsylvania  is  just a couple hours away from DC. It's a Sunday  night  and  after going  to  church , I packed up my stuffs for the trip  and yes,   I usually  pack light  and in an organized  way   My  Toiletries are tucked away    in  my   Vivienne  Tam double Happiness  Make Up Bag that  I  got on a very  good  deal in  JCPenney for  $ 10 ( it had an original price of $22 + State Tax ) .  Besides  my  toilettries , I brought  with  me my  very  own  Vivienne Tam Laundry  Bags  , how  could I  resist they  were really really CHEAP  for 3 pc for a $1 ?  Who could pass on  that one righ

I always prefered heels over flats , but I was always open to the idea that  maybe someday  I will be hook with  flat footwear. I always noticed that Filipinas or Pinays love to  wear  flat  shoes . And I've seen this  while having my vacations back in Philippines. I went to  stroll in the mall  just to see if there were good deals that I  can  find and I couldn't pass the good deals in  shoe aisle  that  I  saw. When it comes to  flat shoes,  I always look for  something comfy  and the ones that  will  not give me a single blister or so  ( >_< ) Who could pass the cute adorable flats by  Betseyville's Betsey Johnson shoe collection Cutest flats ever with the hearts in black patent leather and multi colored black fabric  floral print Black Purple Flower Ballet Flats Hearts Leather Flats The flats itself are very  comfy  I tried them  for almost  30 minutes in the mall just  walking and praying that  it

I  have been  quiet  for the past  days that  I  had stopped  blogging again ,  it just  didn't give me the urge to  sit and write my  thoughts... I  thought that  I  had passed all the test or obstacles that  God can shower me  through out my  growing up  LIFE , however I was wrong.... Yes I've been abandoned by SO CALLED FRIENDS who weren't there when I needed them most ... It HURT! Yes I've been left  behind  by  the so called PRINCE CHARMING  , leaving me and let me hanging like an idiot  ... It HURT  (  it took  time for  me to recover  like Bella when Edward left  her in that  movie Twilight ) Yes losing my  job that  I  dedicated my  self into  for the past  6 years ... It HURT    ( unaware when will  I  recover financially)  And then my mom diagnosed with Colon Cancer Stage 3 , IT TERRIFIED ME  ( the thought of loosing my  mom  to one of the most  leading form of cancers in the world ) These things  that  came my way ,  made me a stronger

  NOTE : I  usually write poems anything that's on my mind. This was was originally written in February  8th , 2009 in my  old date planner, and  now I decided  to  share it here  in  my personal  blog . It's hard to  let go, Specially if you  had build your dreams together That  no matter what  happens, The two  of you  will  have to face the obstacles forever Standing side by side as ONE But the unexpected happened, and you have to face the truth. The ugly painful truth You have to LIE You have to PRETEND And no matter what  you  tell  yourself, It is one of the hardest thing You'll ever had to  do ... To forget the person ,  whom you have CARED for LOVED for for all these years . Ironic isn't it?  the person who meant the world to you, now becomes the person that  you  hated most . You  go on circles , figuring out what  went on that  day ,  when GOODBYES were said . You  thought of the right words to  say , But it br
