As much as possible I would want a comfortable outfit even if it is just a one-hour flight so this is my OOTD at the airport...
A white button down shirt would always do the trick! Plus a statement necklace I was comfortable and ready for the adventures!
After months of dreaming of the beach, fresh air, seafoods and time to bond with family, we finally arrived the airport of Puerto Princesa, Palawan.
Hubby and I went here already a couple of years ago but we were excited this time because we were with the whole family!
And, this time, we stayed at Microtel Hotel within the city.
So yes, our December vacation has officially started!

I know Father's Day is over but who said that we stop giving gifts as well? Well, I found this beautiful 1968 les paul that the Husband would love. I'm thinking of buying it for him. As a member of a music ministry he loves to play the guitar and he would definitely appreciate a guitar that has distinctive style and sound. He's been into musical instruments for years now and a new guitar would be appreciated.
It features the trademark split diamond headstock, block inlays, and triple-bound body. The shop has taken this already luxurious guitar and added a carved, AAA figured maple top with a nitrocellulose triburst finish and a ’60s slim-taper neck. Oh yeah, definitely a dream guitar for the Hubby. Would he like it? I'm definitely, definitely sure about this!
A preview of my next posts...
Where do you think we went?
Yes, from one of the beautiful islands in the Philippines - PALAWAN! Watch out for my posts soon! (*wink*)
I wish I could say, hello weekend but yes I still have one more day before the weekend officially starts. So for the meantime, will just enjoy these yummy candies from my sister who got home from a quick business trip in the US.
Now, which one to try first?
A couple of months ago I went out with kid #2 and look what we did...
We went on a shoe shopping and look at these cute pair of shoes from H&M. She couldn't decide which one to get!
Aaargh, will you help us? Which one is the best pair for her? (*wink*)

Making the most out of summer? Here's a nice remix by Robin Schulz.
I can't believe summer is over. But hey, there are more things to look forward to this school year. So we are welcoming it with wide open arms.
Our SY 2015-2016 has officially started. (*wink*)
Here's a very nice article that is worth sharing here...
They cleaned our scraped knees, shuttled us from school to play dates to after-school activities, and made sure the bills were paid. Most importantly, many of us were lucky enough to benefit from the little slices of knowledge our moms shared with us that helped shape the women we are today. We asked our Facebook audience for the most important advice their mothers gave them. Here's what they learned from Mom's words of wisdom.
1. "Always treat everyone the same whether they are the housekeeper or the CEO." —Melissa Sagonas Madden
2. "We got locked in a bathroom when we were very young. We were scared, so while our parents worked to get the door open my mom slid a chocolate bar under the door and that stopped our crying. When we finally got out, she looked at us and said, 'Chocolate is better than a band-aid every time.'" —Julie and Lisa, Bite Me More
3. "If they do not pay your rent or mortgage, who cares what they think about you." —Blanqui Alvarado
4. "My mom told me I needed to try hard to get a B. I had always gotten straight As and stressed myself out because I was a perfectionist. After my first B in college, my mom took me out to lunch to celebrate and my perspective shifted. Now, I am able to stress less and relax more in life, without trying to get everything exactly right." —Dani Norris Parsell
5. "Never make decisions when you are angry." —Tara Swatek
6. "My mother taught me at a young age to moisturize. I am 74, and I thank her everyday for my good skin." —Maureen Hess Sully
7. "When it comes to a home improvement task or project, my mom always said not to rely on a man to do the job. Now I am very handy, just like my mom, and don't rely on my husband to do the fixing around the house. I do it." —Kris Goorsky
8. "To do a couple loads of laundry throughout the week, so you never spend a precious weekend day devoted to the dreaded task." —Rebecca Scott
9. "Ask yourself, 'Will it matter 100 years from now?'" —Jodi MacNeal
10. "You can catch more flies with honey than you can with vinegar... Meaning you can accomplish more by being kind to people than by having a sour disposition." —Lori Johnson
11. "My mom passed away on January 31 of this year. The best advice she ever gave me wasn't in words, and frankly, it wasn't advice I even realized she'd given me until I attended the funeral. She lived her life in such a way as to be best version of herself. She didn't try to be anyone other than herself, but she made sure that she worked to be the best version of that person every day. She has been, and always will be, a wonderful example to me." —Kaelyn Phillips
12."Never travel without your bathing suit." —Karen Agard Meyer Brill
13. "I asked my mom when my girls were little 'when does it get easier?' She told me it doesn't, it just changes to different challenges." —Mary Musgrave
14. "Always put a little money away that no one knows about. You never know when you might need it in a difficult situation." —Renee Boudon
15. "You don't have to attend every argument you're invited to." —Deidré Bump
16. "My dad actually gave me the best advice: 'Get a good mattress and a job you enjoy because you spend eight hours sleeping and eight hours working. At least, during that time, you'll be happy.'" —Ira Martin Mogollon
17. "If you are not happy, make a change. Whether it's a job, relationship, friendship, or body image, life's too short to remain in a place of unhappiness." —Brittany Wilson
18. "My mom worked in a nursing home as a teen and learned a very valuable lesson. 'Everything washes off.' I still say it when I'm doing something gross." —Carley Bushart
19. "My mother says, 'Never take advice from someone you would not want to trade places with.'" —Dina DeSocio
20. "My grandmother who raised me always said, 'All things in moderation.' I find it applies to everything." —Julie Boltz
21. "Before my first 50-yard dash in elementary school, my mom told me to keep my eyes on the string at the end. 'Don't look to see who's beside you, and don't look back to see who might be catching up. That will just slow you down. Run just as fast as you can toward the string!' I won many races using that strategy and learned the advice also has many applications outside of the 50-yard dash. I try to keep my focus on my own goals and not compare myself to others." —Linda Detherage Smith
To all the mothers, cheers to all of you!
It has been months since we last ate in Tim Ho Wan but I couldn't forget how the kids rave over the food there. Yes, they definitely love Tim Ho Wan!
