Aboard Happiness

I happened to see in the “popular post” section on Instagram the post of Viajera Filipina about the Travel + Fashion Takeover Workshop which she, together with Our Awesome Planet,We are Sole Sisters, Travel Fashion Girl and Solitary Wanderer hosted last June 3rd. To my excite, I registered right away for the event at A Space in Greenbelt.  Everything about this event is so memorable for me because: (1) it is my first time attending such event (and it’s even for free, how’s that? wink wink); (2) my first time going at the said event’s place, which I never thought it existed somewhere in Greenbelt =); (3) I got to meet travelers alike who wants to travel as often as possible however, with a very tight budget; and the best part of it (4) Raffle prizes haha. I won a prize of two nights hotel accommodation for 2 pax at Four Points Hotel by Sheraton in Bangkok c/o Agoda (Thank you Agoda!!!). This was the first time I won a raffle prize as I am actually not lucky at raffles c...

I saw her photos and I was amazed of how beautiful the place was, thinking that it looked good because she knows photography and/or probably because of the camera.

Ultimately from Latin- pingere means to paint. No wonder, the Spanish-style house structure were all painted with white.  Entrance to the museum. There is a small office upon entering where you need to pay the entrance fee. The facade is so picturesque one should have a mandatory picture. No wonder the place is also being cons...

This is it! My first ever post in my very first "open diary". As this is my first entry, pardon me if you see any grammatical errors of some sort, after all, I set up this blog to practice my writing skills. =) Now into the write-up... Since it's summer, every one is in to fitness and healthy lifestyle to reach that desired beach bod. However, on my case, I only wanted to be physically fit and in shape considering that I am not getting any younger and aside from the fact that I feel heavier and heavier by the day. My colleagues invited me try out Plana Forma at Centris in Quezon City and I must say that this is the only exercise I have enjoyed the most. I have tried going to the gym, and I feel it is just not right for me.  So, what is Plana Forma? It is a 55-minute workout derived from the techniques of Physique 57, influenced by dance, yoga, pilates and sports. Difficulty level of the workout differs on a per level. The class begins with a warm up and uppe...
