Christmas in Cebu.

December 29, 2009

I’m finally back in Manila after a week in Cebu! This entry might turn out to be a photo post. More photos than normal, so be prepared!

So I spent Christmas in Cebu with my sister and her husband. It was pretty much a chill and relaxing vacation, spending time with my sister and my adorable nephew, Gavin! Most of the time we were just indoors, eating in restaurants and going to the mall. I did have a small drive to shop, but I couldn’t find anything. All I spent was on Starbucks drinks and food on two separate occasions, hahaha! I guess that’s nice, didn’t do any impulsive shopping. Although I did try on a Leopard print Tunic from Topshop.

I felt funny after trying it on. I liked the print, but I wouldn’t actually wear it on a day to day basis. Maybe if I was feeling creative with my outfit, but that rarely happens, like only if there will be a party or something.

I did have a memory to go along with the fitting of this dress. While I was inside the dressing room, a song was playing and I liked it so much that I wrote down some of the audible lyrics and Googled it when I got back to the hotel. Now I always remember trying this dress on every time I hear Jack Penate‘s “Pull My Heart Away”. :)

Anyway.. I got some nice gifts this Christmas! 

L-R: Owl necklace, owl print pouch, black & white striped ring, Ice Watch and a cupcake pouch.

It’s not a lot, but I still love it! You might have also noticed the owl pattern going on. Currently addicted to owls, so I specifically requested for anything owl on my wish list this Christmas.

Here’s another gift from my dad. I am completely in love with it.

Hailey Crossbody Bag from Coach

The real color and a close-up of the logo.

In the first photo, the bag turned slightly reddish pink due to my external flash’s angle and the dominant pink color in my bathroom. The second photo shows the real color, so it’s deep purple/plum. I’m honestly not a huge fan of Coach, but the style of the bag rules that one out. Can’t wait to rock it out. :)

It’s now midnight. Feeling a bit sleepy earlier but that changed when my dad came home with an Iced Grande Chai Tea Soy Latte! Yay, dad! :D

The drink in Venti size.

Tonight, I got the grande size, but while I was in Cebu, I got the Venti, the biggest size they have. This drink is so addicting. I’ve tried it before, but only using regular milk. Soy milk made it 10 times better. I have to thank a local stylist for this discovery. Hello, Jenni Epperson.

Must sleep in a while. Still have a reunion to go to later tonight! Can’t wait, it’s going to be with my Taiwan tour friends. :)

Later, lovelies!

BAGS in general are ALWAYS nice, yes? :> :> OWLS OWLS OWLS I’m all for owls right now. :D Hehehe.. but my room is sadly not yet full of owls. I only have two things that are owl-related, and that would be the necklace and the small pouch I got for Christmas. I’m still on the look out for more! Mwahaha. :))
