Vanity Strikes Back: Caring for your Colored & Treated Hair



You know you are with a good hairdresser when she tells you that you still cannot have your hair rebonded, because it was just heavily colored two months ago. 


Yes, you are in good hands when they value your hair versus the additional ka-chings they can get from your requested hair rebond.

Thanks to  Pat Dela Vega, owner of Pat of Cameo Salon here in Greenhills. She suggested that I just do some Hair Spa treatment from L'oreal and wait a few more months before the rebond. 

Pat of Cameo Salon is located at Ground Floor, Shopesville, Greenhills Shopping Center. You can look for Vi at 7214077 for appointments

Third Time (even with TATTOOS) is a Charm



Much more convinced than last July, I really want to get a new INK before 2012 ends. I already know the text, just the art and color to finish up the design .

Planning out this CDO-Bukidnon Weekend :)

I have been meaning to post my UnliFlight trips for a month now, but because am finishing my gazillion work loads on weekdays (so I can go with my weekend travel plans) getting more involved in family affairs and found a new love in itinerary making - i haven't post any of my most recent travels. 

Yes, you read it right.. In as much as I love traveling and while I am still an adventurous one with the high probability rate of crossing out planned things and replacing it with a few local suggestions - yes, I am having a blast planning trips. 

Planning your travel is like doing a a pre-trip though someones Else's travel blogs and experiences + some important info's from local government sites and weather forecasts too. Planning gets you excited, makes you look forward to the trip itself, makes you want to challenge and confirm what you have read about -- makes you want to leave now, travel and blog about it too. 

So here is my third planned itinerary, the first am going publish. Thanks to the other blogs I have been following and the local sites for CDO-Bukidnon, here goes my next weekend's plan: Excited to conquer the white waters and zoom in Asia's longest 840M zipline, bucket list check! :)

LAKE APO (Optional depends on time and travel distance) Lake Apo is formed due to the movement of the Earth’s crust, creating a circular-shaped lake atop the mountain floor.  It has an estimated area of 24 hectares and reaching to a depth of 26 meters.  It is found in Barangay Guinoyouran, some 11 kilometers from Valencia City in the province of Bukidnon.  It can be accessed by a motorcycle-for-hire, public utility vehicle (PUV), or you can ask a friend to drive you there.  When you get to the place, you pay a parking fee of P5 for a motorcycle and P10 for a car. Raft cottages are available for rent for P200 per use.  That is, if you are going to the middle of the lake. But if you’re going to stay in the shore, you don’t have to pay anything.

There are vans in Camp Phillips that will take you to Cagayan de Oro. Look for it at the transport terminal where you hired a habal-habal. Fare is 60 pesos and travel time is about an hour.

Thank God for Travels ♥




Am ever so grateful that God's has blessed me with the opportunity and grace to TRAVEL;
 to wander upon His created wonders of nature, to explore other cultures and local must-sees and to experience first handed-Ly what our WORLD has to offer. Whether traveling with a group of friends, in duo mode with an ever reliable travel buddy or in "SoloByahera" mode, alone - going on trips, sweet escapes and adventures never fail to excite me, to bring me peace and calm my heart.

*If only I can just travel and write + photograph for a living, I'd leave the corporate scene anytime, lol*
Thank God for Travels, Travel is Love ♥

2012 is My Year for Philippine Travels

A CELEBRATION OF LIFE ♥


Same as for the past couple of years, 2012's version of August has proven itself to be another suspended form of reality; difference is, this one is eternal with memories inked to my timeline until its last thread, last dot.

 

Its quite ironic to celebrate both the end of one's life and the continuity of the other. 

One's final grasp of breath and one's blow as she makes a wish from her yearly sweet confection. 

One's farewell to a life well lived in love and the other one's welcome to what this year has to offer her. 

My dearest Mommy Fely bid as farewell as she joined Daddy Jun with our Father in heaven last 16th of July. 

Forty-days after, my most-loved Mama Anne celebrated 60years of life, favor and beauty both from the inside-out. 

Mommy's legacy and unconditional love doesn't end in death, it lingers on - we'll love her forever and we miss her everyday. 

Mama on the other end, doesn't look an inch like sixty - like fine wine she has truly aged well. 

-- With MUCH LOVE in this lifetime
