[Photo Diary] Knock 3 Times For Summer

Apparently, I spoke too soon when I said that I most likely wouldn’t be able to have any escapades this year (I stand corrected). But I’m glad that I was wrong, I’m even happier that my summer adventure came early this year and I’m happiest that I FINALLY got to go on an adventure with people I’ve been friends with ever since grade school!

Friends, meet a very small portion of our group: TOYBUDS.

I really don’t know why we call ourselves that or how that name came to be but we’re too lazy to change it so, I guess that’s what we’re gonna keep calling ourselves for the next 50 years. LOL.

Just out of curiosity… what is your groups’ name? 🙂

I’ve known these bunch of cuckoo cuckoo heads for a very long time and I’ve kept them in my life despite transferring schools in second year high school and despite going through college and everything in between and after. We all try to our best to keep in touch and get together every once in a while and of course, spend trips like this together as well.

This weekend we went to our friends’ beauuuuutiful rest house in Badian (not Barili. Doi!) and went to Lambog to catch some rays over drinks and icky sand. It really was a beautiful experience and it was definitely the quick fix to the rump I was going through over the week. Sometimes life can be so complicated and uncomplicated at the same time. Sigh.

The outdoor shower. My favorite part of the house.

Alyssa getting in the way of my shot.
And the Mcdo cup we used to drink on the way there. LOL

I hope the start of your summer is as happy as mine is!

I’m really glad that summer is here and that it’s the season for cropped tops and short shorts. It’s freakishly every where in Cebu and if I couldn’t go to work in shorts and a shirt, I seriously think I would have dropped dead by now.

Work is definitely going to keep me preoccupied this summer so I doubt I’m going to have any legit escapades this year. I’m really bummed because Paolo and I won’t be able to make it to our annual Bohol trip for our friends birthday and I could definitely use the beach!

But if I’m not going to be able to make it to the beach, I might as well feel like I’m there anyways! I’m really happy that I was persistent on buying these shorts at Gaisano Carcar for P250.00 (I’m really a cheap skate like that, yeah?). It took me two weeks of convincing and weird dreams to actually get that and I’m actually really glad that I did.

Sometimes it can be a bit hard to buy (who am I kidding, that’s the fun part) and actually put multiple outfits together with pieces that are so big and bold because they’re soo memorable but hopefully, I’ll be able to use these shorts more than once. We’ll see. You’ll see. #waitforit haha

As for my top, would you believe that I had it made in 20 minutes?? Yes friends.,I am finally taking advantage of the family business and using it to my own selfish advantages. hehe. It’s a very repetitive yet simple process. I take a bath, pick out what I want to wear, realize that I don’t actually have that piece of clothing, run to our production area, ask our head sewer to whip it up for me (she knows my measurements) and in a few minutes I’m out the door! But actually, before that our sewers make me walk around and show them what I’m wearing. They get a kick out of me actually dressed up and not in house clothes. Go figure.

AND LOOK WHO TOOK MY PICTURES!!

It’s the babeforfood! 🙂

I had a really rough day at work and decided that I was done. Thank the Gods in the heavens that Justinne was at home mixing so I decided to crash her place.

Here are some random photos of us fooling around:

 See you guys later at the Sprockets Cafe for the Create Your Own Brownie Cake! #cyobc I’m going to coerce Justinne into giving me that overnight stay and THEN, I’m going to win first place at Slogos night… because I can.
