A Weekend to Splurge!

I was all set to plan my Saturday to “relax” – take some time just here in my room, maybe stay at the patio downstairs and enjoy the sunshine.  By Saturday night, I have a scheduled “Hen Do” (aka: soon-to-be-bride night) for our friend who will be married on 7th July.   And on Sunday, I will have a daytrip to France! =) We booked the tickets just Thursday morning, because we craved to have a taste of French crepe and viola! There’s a return ticket equivalent to just almost Php1650! Yeheee…!  So, France, see ya on Sunday! Bonjour! :-)

Dear Paris, I’m Ready!

a Getting my accent ready for French words

I practiced a few French the other day. ^_^
        “Cambia” – How much?
         “Merci vuku” – Thank you very much
         “Pali vu ongle?” – Do you speak English?
         “Bonjour and Au revoir” – Greetings and goodbye
          “Maos-cha va?” – How are you?
          (I like this word coz it just sounds like musta ka? Haha!) :P

 

Approved Europe Visa, Plus Two French Words

After just 4 days of processing for our Schengen visa (this is what the visa for Europe is called), my passport arrived at my flat with another sticker (I mean, visa) attached to it! Yipeeee…!

London by Next Week

Excited to be in London next week! ^_^

I pray:

• for a clear blue sky for travel [it was foggy last night and most of the flights were cancelled]
• an approved Schngen visa for the Europe travel this coming Easter. And I wish it’s going to be a year worth of Visa. ^_^ [Ang chismis kasi ng mga peeps eh one year na ang longest na binibigay ng French embassy. E-wish natin na bigyan ng mas matagal, pra mka-bongga ng travel. Haha!]
• approval from my manager that I will not be working on Friday next week to go to mainland London. :) *super wisha-wish pray for this* [otherwise, mapapalo ako sa pwet dahil busy season eh gumagala ako]

By the way, here are a few bits of my London escapade taken over 9 months ago, a day before the Royal Wedding last April 2011:

Hi, my name is Sonia

Finally, she agreed to be called MINE!!!! ^_^ 

 

At a freezing cold temperature of negative 4 degrees today, our paths crossed again.  And finally, she agreed to be part of my life. (Hahaha!) 

We are still getting to know each other tonight. :P (aka: I’m still reading the manual of my new baby camera.) Yipeeee! \(“,)/

Can I Call You Mine? ^_^

Uhm… err… uhmmm…

 

Since it is the month of February and the month of L-O-V-E…. I just want to know if…

 

It’s More Fun in the Philippines!

On the day that I created this personal site, Lyn-Lyn’s: Living the Life, I also created another blogsite to record the wonderful amazing places in the Philippines.  The low fares offered by our domestic airlines have made it possible for every Juan to explore our beloved country’s tourist destinations.  Check out my Philippine travel website at: iHeartPilipinas.blogspot.com. 

 

 

 

See you there!

 

Keep learning and keep moving forward!

 

Cheers,

Zipline: It’s More Fun in the Philippines _(“,)/

Facebook keeps on trending the “More Fun in the Philippines” photos and get me sooo excited that I want to share mine.   Friends, please welcome my first try for promoting tourism in our beloved country:

My models are my boyfriend’s beloved family:
(L-R) his brother, his cousin’s son & his uncle

Experience the highest zipline in Southeast Asia
at Lake Sebu, South Cotabato \(“,)/
Date Taken: December 29, 2011

 

To go to Lake Sebu if you are from Manila, take the 1.5-hour flight going General Santos City. 
Then, it will be an approximately 3.5 hours bus travel from General Santos City to Lake Sebu. 
The place also offers the sweetest and juicy-iest tilapia! Chaaarap!

 

Enjoy life! ^_^

Cheers,

Happy Travelling Feet

I had lunch with my soon-to-be travelling buddies today.  We talked again about our plans for this year's Europe tour.  While looking at the set of declared public holidays, we decided to take Paris out of the countries for our Europe tour this July and moved it instead to a separate schedule.  It's going to be on April! Yey!  \(",)/

The plan would take a boat from our place going to France (did I mention that France is just a 30-minute sea travel from my place? It's soooo near! Yet, I cannot go there because a different visa is already required), then take a train going to the land of love, Paris. ^_^

The Travelling Bag

I went to de Gruchy yesterday with one purpose in mind: to take the shortcut from the town centre going back to my flat. But oh lalala….
The de Gruchy is one of the “malls” here and everything is on SALE!   I took some notice of the clothes…and shoes…and bags…  
Haaaiiis….love, love, love to buy them!  I raised my hand and feel the linen and the comfort of the clothes. Hmmm…. They are on sale! Control…control…

 

I move on.. one step forward (I only went here to take the shortcut!).  Until I reached the scented candle section and it’s 50% off!

I smelled the rosebum candles, then the lavender, then the light blue color candle.. then the white one. Hmmm… smells good and homey. 

 

I was about to take the rosebum scented candle to the counter when uhm, ahm… I realised that I don’t need it yet (still, I ended up buying another scented candle when I went out from de Gruchy! At least, it’s much cheaper to the next store. hehe) ^__^
