Summer Solstice

Warning: Photo Blog

All it took was 11 people with limited money to spare to launch a get together that officially ended our warmest season. We all had our own stories to tell, a share of dramas, a string of frustrations and stress that needed a much-awaited form of release. It may not have been pacified by the sand and sea, but a certain ensemble of slides, bursts of water, crate of alcoholic beverages and a small summer house made our kiddie hearts satisfied.

It was an adventure of the first and last of our summer as group, as a family, as a crew. 

Boy Time

Mikee’s home!

I have not been this excited since the day I got my first salary (which was not much to begin with.) I have been missing him for ages! I guess when you long to be with someone, two months can be like years in counting (I am exaggerating, again.)

It was 10:30 pm on Wednesday when I picked him up at the airport. I am so sorry I cannot justify this paragraph with photos. He looked haggard and I did not want to ruin his image by posting it online. AND, I did not look my best either.

BEACH Please?

Summer is the warmest season of the year. These are the days where you can squeeze off your hanky from perspiring, i kid! Newsflash from left to right announces each day as the hottest temperature of the year- that began March of  2012. As I remember, one celebrity was interviewed questioning his opinion for summer season here in the Philippines, since he came from a four season country. He then answered “It doesn’t matter whether the temperature is so hot, it is normal, obviously because it is SUMMER.” That made me laugh and appreciate the summer heat. I just thought that it is more fun to enjoy it than to tiresomely complain.

‘Twas last days of March when my forever friends, TUSS CREW crossed my mind and realized that I miss them. Clearly because, whenever I hear the SUMMER IS COMING phrase, automatically we should be saving three days of the summer season for the crew’s outing. Unfortunately, most of the official members didn’t spend their summer vacay here in the Philippines. So sadly, no summer for me. BUT Not until, my bestfriend, one of the crew- Gina, agreed with me to plan a trip somewhere near the Metro, an affordable place to stay for a night or a day tour. A place where we can desperately (an overstatement) enjoy and experience “Summer” particularly in a beach resort. First two months of summer had passed and the plan was a line drawn on the sand. I and my bestfriend was never hopeless. She informed me that TPM (where she works as a nurse) will be having an outing at Canyon Cove and invited me to join them instead.

Canyon Cove is a very special and memorable place for us. So, I cannot help but pay a visit. So ya, reminiscing all over the place was the first thing I did upon arriving the place.

Here’s what I and my bestfriend wore by the shore:

Jelly sandals, Greenhills.

Shades, Thrifted. Blue Nautical Highwaist swimsuit, Bellas.

Check out Bellas online store, they have perfect swimsuits, bustier tops, corsets, maxi skirts / dresses and the like- its for every girl who lusts for some cute, dainty and sultry pieces with reasonable prices.

Shades, Rudy Project. Rash guard, Sassa. Bikini, Billabong.

‘BEZ’ I and my bestfriend, Gina.

The whole day summer outing was fun yet I started to miss my boyfriend a whole lot more when some of these girls came to share with me a bit of information about their Long Distance Relationships. Cheers to that ladies! Another high hopes for me, keep the faith. To my bestfriend, thank you so much for helping me refreshen my senses. A little bit of fun and fresh air really helped. Without this I might lose my sanity. Lica, join us some time, beach please?

Start anew, No worries. Love one another, be strong and keep the faith.

Ombre is a french term for shades or shading. Pretty cool shades of pastel colors best suits summer. Plus, experimenting it with diff’rent shades are far way refreshing (just don’t overdo it). Got some ideas? Here’s some:

Victoria’s Secret Sheer Addictions

Out with the cold and in with the bold

…colors of summer! With the 32 degree temperature in Manila, we can officially say it’s that time of the year for the sun, sand and sea!

VS offers a collection that is not only fit for a stroll along the beach, but also a selection of summer dresses that can be worn indoors, for those who prefer to stay clear of the UV rays.

It’s the season to have an excuse to show off some skin! the heat brought about by the fact that we are a tropical country is not a laughing matter. There is not a day or time since the start of March that sweat did not trickle down my skin.

Now is definitely the time to walk around sporting a short summer dress without appearing too revealing. If it took you an eternity to achieve a bod that you’ve been dreaming of, might as well, FLAUNT IT!

For the little less daring…

 The maxi dress is a personal favorite and is a must-have in the closet! It is flirty frock for a morning brunch or a dinner date!

Though we do not really have a VS store in Manila, there are a lot of other stores that offer the same style of dresses. But then again, their is such a thing as online shopping!

Happy Summer!
