June 30, 2010 – Day Two of La Familia’s weekend in Cebu involved a free day tour in Colon. Eep. But of course, that’s a short visit to the 16th Century St. Niño Basilica Church that you can’t miss or else. Can I indulge you with a few vanity shots? Teehee.

June 29, 2010 – My mom thought it was a good idea to take a break and spend one weekend in Cebu. She thought it was the perfect excuse to come visit me and check if I’m not a. pregnant, b. secretly married and c. alive. I was lucky I was neither of the first two and mom was relieved that I didn’t turn out to be an unemployed daughter who is raising a three year old kid and is constantly beaten up by a heroin lover for a boyfriend (being an editor at Editfast means a lot, too).
She made it seem like she was travelling alone and told me to book a suite room at a hotel here in Cebu because she was going with a few people in the real estate firm. I thought it was odd because she can’t be that close to them to be staying in the same room, can she? My suspicions were confirmed though – she brought along my two sisters and my papa when I picked them up at Mactan Cebu International Airport! I was BEYOND ECSTATIC. I miss my sisters so much!

We immediately rented a van at MCIA and took them to their hotel. Pop looks tooo happy. I hope it is because he got away from all the crazy workload in CDO.

Guess what they brought me? Sentro’s Apple Cobbler – a huge favorite of mine!

May 16, 2010 – This is a continuation of my previous post on Malapascua Island. I was talking about the beach resort we stayed in during that weekend. The morning after would be the perfect time to take photos of Mike and Diose’s Cottage.

May 15, 2010 – The four hour ride to Maya was not at all pleasant and the province of Maya had powder for land that just piles on your face when the bus passes by it. From Cebu, you can always get on one of the buses at the North BusTerminal.

Checked-in baggage, yes.

When you get to Maya, you will not miss this small store. They sell everything from coke zero sakto size to Vicks.

The boat ride costs about 50. Small boat, huh? Read the rest of this entry »

This is a Free WordPress Theme. The creator wishes you to not remove the footer links by www.semlaguna.com. Normally, when one installs a theme in WordPress, they automatically go to Themes – Editor – Footer and remove the byline. This, my friends, is close to piracy. See screenshot below.

Back when I was still constructing and reconstructing my fashion blog, I dabbled with soooooo many themes for WordPress you will be amazed at the huge amount of patience I possessed during the entire experience. There are just so many themes out there! I guess part of being a Libra (and indecisive at that) means that you can never finalize something unless you are 100% contented and satisfied.
Sure, you may say, “How hard can it be to decide on a theme?”
TRUST ME. Nothing feels right, nothing looks right and nothing ever works right!
My first choice was a magazine-type of theme and although I initially stuck to it until the end, I admitted to cheating on several kinds of themes before finalizing my choice. These are my top requirements for setting up my fashion blog, by the way:
1. Customized Logo/Header
2. Editable Sidebar
3. Magazine Type with image and text excerpt on the Main Index Page
4. Animated Multiheader
5. Threaded Comments
Do I sound too jargon-y? You cannot imagine the series of nosebleeding sessions I had with CSS, JAVA and HTML. Nobody served this to me in a silver platter and with all the resources I have over the weeks that I madeover ISC, I do not know what else to do with them but to give them away. Yes, that also includes Premium WordPress Themes. Keep posted for my first giveaway.
Toodles. ♥

Cebu, PH (June 20, 2010) – Prince Sebastian had the privilege to join again this year’s dog show at the Banilad Town Center. Some of his outfits at bought at Chains, Banilad Town Center and it would be such a cliche to wear one on a BTC event. Teehee. Count on his mommy to be so fashion conscious.




Lee to me, “Who is their shepherd?”

Aww… a daschund. We had a daschund once – Bluey. He died because he wasn’t having sex and his member was having this eternal hardon that eventually killed him. I’m not joking. Read the rest of this entry »
