2014 Holiday Gifts Haul

This year, I received a lot of blessings at work and my personal life. It took a lot of my attention and I get tired and stressed out because of it but I'm still grateful for having it. To end this year, I'm sharing the gifts I received from my family and close friends of mine. This isn't bragging, this is just my way of thanking them.

The pillow and pouch are from an office mate. One of the nicest people I met at work. I'm enjoying the pillow and the pouch is just right to replace the makeup bag I've been using.

The Siberian husky stuffed toy is from my younger brother. He purchased it from Blue Magic, a store here in the Philippines and his name is Mr. Smith. My brother and I love dogs and would definitely want a husky but it's just too big for our place. Aside from that, he knows I collect stuffed toys and I sleep with most of them.

The bag is from my cousin. Last year she gave me my first Celine bag and this year it's my first bag from Call it Spring. Shoes and bags are investment for me but I guess I don't need to buy a new one for 2015. I honestly don't know how to keep most of them since my room is quite small.

The last two gifts are from my mom and dad. I already gave my mom a hint of what I like so she purchased the Revlon eyeshadow palletes for me as well as the eyebrow pencil. It's my first time to have a Revlon eyeshadow pallete but I've already tried the eyeliner and eyebrow pencil. I'll be putting up a review on these on my next post.

The other gift they got me was a Samsung tablet and I love it. It has microsoft office which I can use for work or even at school. I can bring this with me wherever I go instead of a laptop.

Thanks for reading. I'll see you on my next post.

Cebu City Escapade

This post has been long overdue but I’m going to post it anyway. As I’ve mentioned on my post last week, I went to Cebu City with a few colleagues for the Annual National Convention. But before we had several days of long hours of seminar, we were able to go for a little bit of sight-seeing during our first day.

The first stop is the Chapel of Pedro Calungsod. Everyone in the group were Catholics so there was no problem going for a bit of church visits. The place looks really clean as if it was just built a few months ago. The surroundings on the reclaimed lot where it stood is not as clean though. Nonetheless, the wind blowing and bamboos are just calm and relaxing.

On the opposite street of the Chapel was the SM Sea Side. Still unfinished but our tour guide said it will be bigger than MOA after it is finished.

Waterfront Cebu City Hotel

Two weeks ago, the PICPA Annual National Convention was held at the Waterfront Cebu City Hotel. We arrived around 10pm Tuesday night. The valet and the front desk officer was very accommodating but some of them speak to guests using their dialect. I’m not discriminating or anything I just find it a little bit inconvenient because I have to say repeatedly that I don’t understand.

Anyway, the hotel looks really beautiful from outside when we arrived that night but the lobby looks much better.
