What I did over the long weekend

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

I don’t know about you guys, but I absolutely love long weekends! It just gives me the opportunity to do things that I have been meaning to do or do absolutely nothing and not feel guilty. Although I am the type of person who tries to fill my day with activities, this weekend I had some busy time and some down time.

The first thing I did was take my 90 year old Lola to watch Repertory Philippines Sweeney Todd. I promised my cousin Franco who plays the romantic lead Anthony that I would take our Lola Betty to the play. I was so thrilled to take her and we all had a super fantastic time.

Another shot with me in it! Isn't our Lola Beautiful?

The Long Weekend

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

I am loving all these long weekends that we are having. It gives me a chance to escape and seek adventure. When I heard that my friend Tessa Valdes and her family were heading to the Misibis Bay resort, I just had to tag along. We left on a Saturday at the break of dawn and took the first flight to Legaspi. We were bummed out that the plane was delayed for an hour, but we were rewarded by the beautiful sight of the MAYON volcano with all its glory! I took this as a sign that we will be having a really fantastic weekend! I decided to break my trip down to several posts as I took more that 300 photos! LOL! Enjoy the pictures!

I was traveling with the entire Valdes family and our fave girl friends Leica and Joanna. Here were are lounging at the airport waiting for our delayed flight.

When we were about to land Nix pointed out the Mayon Volcano to me! I was so excited as it was so clear! Legend has it that the Mayon only shows herself to those who deserves to see her beauty! Well....We should be so lucky! As she was in all her glory!

I took it as a sign that this would be a really fantastic weekend!

The required tourist shot! Nix and His BFF Joanna Arcega!Leica and Tessa jumping up for joy! WOO HOO! These ladies needed to chill big time! They just finished the ironman triathalon last week and all they wanted was to rest!

Before heading out to our resort we stopped by the airport gift shop and loaded up on the best looking bags in the region! Check this one out?

These were designed by my dear friend Marissa Andal. The consumate shopper Tessa cleaned the racks out of the store in less that 10 minutes! The poor sales person must have been so overwhelmed as Tessa must have bought 20 bags or more! LOL!
