EDSA Shrine + OOTD

       Staying in a quiet and peaceful place has always been my simple joy. I don’t know, I really felt relieved and stress free whenever I go in these kinds of places. It seems like finding my inner peace and it felt like I am taking a retreat with God, and I am one with nature. It was my kind of chilling out without leaving the city. Quezon City Memorial Circle is where I first fondled this sentiment since it is the nearest “peaceful” place in our house. The second one is in Intramuros which is just an accidental discovery when my boyfriend took an exam on PLM (Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila) situated beside this place.

Little did I know, there is an equally similar place in the heart of the busiest road in the metro, the EDSA. Hooray for another accidental discovery! Last weekend, boyfriend and I went to San Juan City to have my hair keratin treatment at David’s Salon Wilson branch. We then decided to stay at Robinsons Galleria in Ortigas before we headed back to Cubao to meet our barkada. Before we come down from the jeepney, I ask him to take my outfit shot on the EDSA Shrine monument since I was using a sponsored bag from www.chicnova.com. We saw bunch of people coming from a door beneath the monument and wondered what those people are doing from that place. To our surprise, we saw a diminutive shrine behind that door! Darn, we have gone in this city a thousand times yet this is the first time we knew that there is really a shrine under the historical EDSA Shrine monument! We stayed and prayed on that shrine for a couple of minutes then headed to the uppermost part of the place to do the picture taking. 

I was then surprised that a peaceful and quiet place will burst upon us considering it is beside EDSA! I love how ironic it is and I swore that I am now up in the hunt for more places like this over the metro!

What I also love in this place are the quotations all around it! Here’s an example but I failed to make it readable because the rain is falling down already. Anyway, here is what the quotation states:

“If my people who call upon my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways then I will hear them from heaven, and will forgive their sins and heal their land.”

- Chronicle 7:14

Another fun part in this place is its hidden passages that will lead you to stone stairs. This one’s so similar to that in Intramuros.

Ombre Scene

Boracay is a small island in the Philippines located approximately 315 km (196 mi) south of Manila and 2 km off the northwest tip of Panay Islandin the Western Visayas region of the Philippines. Boracay Island and its beaches have received awards from numerous travel publications and agencies. The island comprises the barangays of Manoc-Manoc, Balabag, and Yapak municipality of Malay, province of Aklan. The island is administered by the Philippine Tourism Authority and the provincial government of Aklan. Apart from its white sand beaches, Boracay is also famous for being one of the world's top destinations for relaxation. It is also emerging among the top destinations for tranquility and nightlife. (from Wikipedia)

One of the things that I really adore during our 4-day vacation at Boracay is this ombre screne. It is a gradient effect between the see and the horizon that truly makes me feel I'm in a paradise. Far from the scene I am seeing everyday in the metro.

I took advantage of the opportunity to have a photo with this beauty on my background. And mind you, seeing these photos every time makes me want to get back to this paradise. I promise, I will when I got the luxury of time and money to do so! ♥

Hype, hype, hype my look please?! ♥

Yellow Mustard Bag

I have forgotten to post about this charming Single Button Yellow Shoulder Bag that I got from romwe.com. It's been a month since I had it and I will just post it now. (Amnesia girl shoo away!) It is a mustard Yellow bag, featuring a fold over tab design with a coffee button on an elastic fastening details, a black cat head on left bottom, a long shoulder strap with connect with rings connect, a contrast monogrammed lining with an internal zip pocket. I love how its screaming bright color has been toned down by the neutral brown. Simply adorable! I know I had a good deal with my $36.99 for this because the faux leather material used seem to be high quality. It is available in colors red, black and yellow. You can find the exact product link below.

My Awesome Candy Bags

As I have mentioned in my last post, the past weeks for me are all about frustrations. But when this package arrives, it really made my day! (Or I should say, my week because it really made my heart jump with joy!)  The package contains these two awesome candy bags from wholesale-dress.net!  This site is offering wide variety of fashion goods in a very cheap price! Imagine, I got these two bags for only $15! (I will put the exact link of the each of them below.) They also have products that are under $5 that is not just small accessories or what, but your $5 will cost you skirts, pants, bags, t-shirts, blouses and many more!  So if you are looking for a cheap but with wide selection of fashionable products, I am definitely recommending wholesale-dress.net for you! Going back to my post, the first one is the Fashion Retro Dots Dual Use Messenger Bag in Deep Blue. 

 It is a 25x29cm polka dot bag decorated with two silver buckles at the front. As stated in its name, it is a dual use bag wherein, you can carry it by hand without the strap and with shoulders when you put the straps in. So functional isn't it? And it is just $8.35! A functional and cheap find in one! 

The second one is this Lovely Double Buckle Belt Bowknot Messenger Bag in Watermelon Red. It is a 29x7x22cm (LxWxH) bag. Just like the first one, it is decorated with two buckles which I really love plus that super cool bow that captures my heart! (You guys know how I really love bows right?)

I love its watermelon color that is not red nor pink but a combination of both that blends well and sum up to this adorable and not so plain color. That little silver metal in the center also adds up a glam in this bag. Moreover, this bag only costs $7.30!
