Gear Up for Water

I may not be a very very good swimmer or athlete in terms of water sports, but I'll always be in love in doing it. Since I've already tried snorkeling and island hopping, I found out that aqua shoes are really a good gear instead of using flip flops or rubber shoes specially in snorkeling. This is used to protect our feet whenever we go through rocky sands and even under the sea. If you're the stylish type of person, aqua shoes comes with different styles and colors too, just check out stores that offers sports-related stuff.

The aqua shoes was a gift for me. Yay! I've been wanting this and asked my aunt a couple of months ago to buy me this from the U.S. (though you can also find it here in the Philippines). Finally, wish granted and I'm really excited to use this on my adventure! :)

Piso

Did you ever know that there is already a new 1 peso coin?

This commemorates the 150th birth anniversary of our National Hero, Dr. Jose P. Rizal. As you can see, the BSP seal is different in this new coin. It has the same size and weight as of the old 1 peso coin we used. Actually, I found this new 1 peso coin at Tom's World, Robinson's Ermita while playing the "Gold Digger" game or for me, the "Piso Piso" game. I really enjoyed that game! I have a Tom's World card that has around 5000 tickets, and 90% of that was from this 'piso piso' game. This card was 4 years old already (though I enjoy playing that game, I'm not that person who goes there almost ever week just to play).

Happy Spaghetti

I found this idea on 9gag, finally I've tried it on my own. This was easy to make and really exciting! I used cocktail size of hotdogs for trial, and just sliced it thicker. Just insert the uncooked pasta to the hotdog slowly and carefully so they won't break, then boil/cook the pasta!

Why do this? To have equal distribution/serving of the meat to the pasta! Haha! :D

Life is a sport. Make it count.

I found this video on my friend's Facebook wall. Well, Nike asked this guy to make an advertisement on what it means to #makeitcount for the Nike FuelBand (an athletic-performance tracking device), but instead this guy, Casey and his friend, Max, spent the entire budget traveling around the world for 10 days. Oh, this was so fun! I'm so jealous, they went to 13 countries and 16 cities! They went to Paris, Egypt, South Africa, Rome, Doha, Bangkok, Oman, Cairo, Singapore, etc. This was just so AWESOME. ♥

Enjoy the video! :) You could also watch it on Youtube: Make It Count

Feel good

My plan for today is to pay for the oath taking tickets at PRC, have lunch at DLSU, then straight to Landmark to shop for a spaghetti strapped top and to pay for vouchers bought online. Well, the plan was going well until I decided to drop by at Forever 21 just to look for cheap items (anything below 500) just to have my very first F21 item. I saw a cheaper spaghetti strapped top here compare to landmark so I thought I could buy the top here. However, I saw this cute red top, and *boom* I really wanted it so badly. Also, I saw this red shoes that's so comfy and I really want it too! However, my money isn't enough for the 2 items, and I can't be too obsessive on material things. 

After about an hour, I decided to buy the cute red top and decided to give it to my mom as my Mother's Day Gift! Yay! And I'll borrow it nalang! ;) ***Pardon that chubby arms! 

On my way home, there's an old woman who entered the bus but there's no seats left for her so I let her to take my seat. Yay! She even offered to pay my fare, but I already paid the conductor and even if I didn't pay yet, I don't want her to pay for me for letting her sit. I felt so good to help others! :)

First row seat

This was my first time to experience this "first row seat" view of fireworks at SM Mall of Asia. They have fireworks during weekends, and we're just few meters away from the fireworks set-up. Super mausok sa vicinity ng fireworks at may mga nahuhulog pang items mula sa pumutok na fireworks! Though some of the people move away from the line and some covering their faces, I am busy taking pictures and waiting for a good shot of the fireworks. It's one heck of an experience kasi hindi naman kami nagpapaputok ng fireworks during New Year because of my asthma.

 San Miguel by the Bay, Mall of Asia

 My favorite shot! ♥

 Grabe sa usok, swear! 

This photo is not part of the MOA fireworks, I really don't know exactly where but it was shown several minutes after the fireworks in MOA. It is somewhere in PICC or Roxas Blvd. area.

My first time to add watermark in my photos! Haha! ♥

Ready, set, pigeons!

One of the things I really love to do is to explore, not only on different places but also in food. I was given a chance to participate in Food Adventure in The Piazza at Venice, McKinley Hill. I was really excited and curious if I will be satisfied on the food that will be served. There are more than 10 participating well-known restaurants, so I think the registration fee is worth it. In addition to the Food Adventure, there was also pigeon feeding, which is a plus on my adventure that day, however, we already need to pay for the grains to be fed to the pigeons unlike my last visit. There were fewer pigeons this time compared on my last visit, thus we had a hard time feeding them.

The Piazza is a really good place to chill with your friends since it has a different ambiance compare to a mall. It has a wide variety of restaurants from fast foods to a bit fine dining. In addition, you can find a salon here. ;) Pigeon feeding is a plus point, and some 'trolly-like' (those animal cars that kids can ride) that you can rent.

Food pictures will be posted on my next blog! ♥
