1. She’s always MIA. Why? Because she is out there living her life. It is either she is summiting a mountain or catching some waves or probably somewhere else exploring less traveled places. She don’t stay in one place. She is not always home. She’s always on the move. Her weekend is spontaneous and may change depending on her mood. And if you can’t keep up on her busy schedule maybe you aren’t ready for it.



2. She has already plotted her plans for the next two years of her life and clearly you are not part of it. (Well, not yet, maybe you have to prove whether you are worthy to be in it) Next two years meaning that every weekend on every month she has a plan for it. But it may still change, well again, depending on her mood. You can’t just invite her out for a dinner or watch a movie because aside from the fact that she hates that and that she can do that herself she already has a plan for that specific date. She probably can't make it on your most special day or whatsoever.



3. Her life is messy and her things untidy. Or is it the same? She really don’t care about how she looks. Her cap, bandana, her shorts, camera, and oversized shirts is all she need and she’s good to go. She probably wears that shirt for consecutive three-day straight now while she’s on the road and she doesn’t care. Her bag is full of unwashed clothes and smelly socks and she don’t care. 


4. She will keep you waiting and that kind of sucks right? She already made a solo plane booking on some isolated islands and no returning ticket yet for she don’t know whether she wanted to come home soon or stay a little longer.


5. She is independent and she don’t need you. She’s been travelling for over a year now on her own and face obstacle on the road on her own and overcomes it on her own. ON HER OWN. She don’t need rescuing not from you or anyone else. She can slay the dragon herself.



6. She has her own definition of fancy date so be careful. Her definition of a fancy date is either under the starry sky while lying on the sand on her favorite surf spot or at the top of any mountain while watching the clouds passes by. But date means, a date with herself.


7. She don’t have enough time for you. You can’t just call or text or message her all the time. She is busy taking photos, running some trail, and of course catching a wave.  She won’t reply immediately. She hates bugging with some clingy guy who can’t respect her time.



8. On her free time, she’s on the internet researching for new places to explore. She uses her spare time to make her itinerary for her next trip and to the other. Bothering her on times like this will put you to hell.



9. She falls in love immediately with the people or person she met on the road because of their story and their culture and how they live their lives. It doesn't mean she isn't loyal. She just craves for something very unusual.



10. She is eccentric and too crazy for you to handle. There is more to adventure and discovery. She craves and values and enjoys her freedom, personal space and time. She hates her day-job because she thinks it is too normal. She may change her mind over a thousand times because she knows there are a thousand possible options out there and that’s beyond crazy because she does everything she can to break away from routine.



11. She’s too far from settling down. Yes, she thinks of a family with a baby but it scares her. Because she knows she can’t settle on one place for longer time. She wants to live on the road, buy some truck or used buses and turn it to her customized home. She wanderlust and normal people can’t and will never understand that. She is a wanderer. She wanders and wanders and no one knows not even herself when and how it will end.

On my last out of town trip, I've made an impromptu decision on my hair. Though this plan is way back months ago and I decided to have it early next year, this was not on the plan but I did anyway. If you are so confused what am I talking about it here, I'm talking about me getting dreadlocks. Yep. You read that right, guys. Dreadlocks. I know some don't approve if this kind of hairstyle and many will not be able to pull this off, because, well, obviously, there are only a few people who have dreadlocks, especially, women, or its just that I know few of none at all.



Why dreadlocks? Of all the hairstyle out there, why this one. For the past years, my hair has been to one style to another, jumping from different colors, dying my hair, perming it, you name it, my hair's been there. And this time, I wanted something more of me that resembles that way I am living now. Untamed, Bold, and Free. Just like my tattoos.

I always admire people with dreadlocks as their hairstyle because I know it is some kind of expressing yourself and a form of art. It is self-explaining yourself without having to speak.
There is something with dreadlocks that mesmerize me that makes me want to try that hairstyle. Little did I know my fantasy will come to reality when I visit, probably one of my favorite provinces in my country.

A local and the one who manage this surf camp where I stayed who became my friend knows how to do it. I have mentioned it to him and he says that if I want to he can do it on my hair for free. Dreadlocks are very costly. And this is an opportunity. I said, yes, of course. But not all. Part of me can't let go yet of my long straight black hair.

I've got five strands of dreadlocks on the right side of my hair. It was awesome in the first days. So many photo ops have been made since I've been to four different beaches and it has been the center of my photos. But as days goes by a load of having dreadlocks slowly starting to show off. It was harder than I thought. If you knew me personally, you know I don't really put much effort into making myself look neat and proper. Seriously, whatever shampoo and conditioner is available inside the bathroom that's what I'll be using. Itchiness started to unveil, so much hair fall, dandruff, I can feel some small wounds on my scalp and so much more. To make it short, dreadlocks became a burden to me as we speak. Now I just want my hair to be Dream Wheat Hair again. Just like the old times. Healthy long black hair. I will not wait for it to be in so much trouble.

I know I really wanted to have this kind of hair and it is my dream but I guess I am not ready yet to have this. I am not prepared for what is coming. I did no research on how to handle this before getting it.

But, honestly, I am torn between removing it or continue this mess but do something about it to make it looks healthy and all.

Its that time of the year again where people go gaga over shopping new clothes for the most beautiful time of the year, well, that's coming from me, who loves Christmas Holiday so much. It's the best excuse to indulge with new clothes for holiday's different and never-ending parties and celebrations. 


But if you are like me who hates so much traffic and traffic inside the mall you can always do online shopping. Yep! Much more friendly to us right? Not only it will save much of your time but it gives you convenient to choose on a variety of what's out there.

StyleWe is one of my favorite online shop because it has a lot to offer. From dresses to jumpsuits and whatever you think you wants to wear, they have it.


In so many years, dresses has been there to prove that ladies can be so feminine and look classy when you wear it. But nowadays, those statement became basic when jumpsuits came back with a bang. Ladies who hates wearing dresses can now enjoy wearing a pants-like outfit without compromising being sexy and feminine. Good thing StyleWe also offers designer jumpsuits that has a lot of selection.






But if you are in tight budget and what to make over your old jeans, StyleWe also offers in their blogs tips and diy for your life to be easy. If you have no idea here's one of my fave in their blog: Easy steps on how to shrink jeans.


Happy Shopping, everyone!

Weddings can be a really nice thing to invest on. But if you are a practical thinker, then you would come to realize by now how pricey it can get to get hitched. Not to mention all the stress and urgency it will require you during the stage of preparation.

Everyone has their own dream wedding; that’s a reality.

My favorite beach next to Boracay Island is San Pedro Beach. This private resort is the opposite of Boracay in terms of quietness and solitude. When me and my friend went here last September of this year (2016) we are the only guest that time so imagine it feels like we rented the whole beach for us. It is very quiet and far away from the busy and crowded places in Manila. 

Here is a simple guide if you wish to experience the beauty of Romblon, Romblon, island.


How to go there?

Ride a bus bound to Batangas Pier. Fare is around 170 from Manila. From Pier catch a ferry going to Romblon, Romblon. Please refer to image below for daily trips at Batangas Pier. Make sure to come on time because they leave exactly on time indicated. You may visit Montenegro website or 2GO Travel for the complete schedule of their trip and price.




If you missed your scheduled trip directly to Romblon, Romblon, try to catch a ferry bound to Odiongan, from Odiongan ride a jeepney going to San Agustin fare is around 100 and from there transfer to a small boat that will take you to Romblon, Romblon fare is 100 pesos. There is a minimal terminal fee of 10 pesos.


Arriving at Romblon, Romblon pier, there are a lot of tricycle that will take you to San Pedro Beach. Fare is only 200 pesos. Other will charge you 250-300. But to make sure you can contact San Pedro Beach and asked them for a tricycle that will fetch you from the pier. We didn't know that at first, just when we arrive at the beach and told them that the driver charge us 250 pesos. Travel time is around 30 minutes.

Note that travelling via land plus ferry will eat up much of your time, so make sure to a lot extra day for it. It take us half the day going to this serene beach.

Accommodation at San Pedro Beach

There are a total of only 8 nipa hut rooms on this beach. So if you are planning to visit the place on peak season you might want to book early.

Room rate: php 800/night for 2 pax

For Day Tour

Cabana - php 100



Is There An Entrance Fee?


Adult - php 50

Child - php 30


Where to Eat?

They have a mini restaurant but choices is very limited but I definitely enjoyed their spaghetti. I did order it on my every meal. haha! Tuna is the main ingredient for the sauce. :D You may bring foods along with you so you can save much. There is no corkage. Plus, store is far from the beach.



Electricity?

Yep. 24/7.

Contact Person?

Mam Mina - 9282730515

Runbuye offers a wide variety of dresses for women, too many I am sure what you are looking for are all there. Been browsing their website and I've seen loads that's my pick and will be on my wishlist for sure. Not just that they are offering good service and product, it comes also with a great price. And when I say great price it means cheap long dresses for women. I am not really a fan of high-paying to clothes because I do believe that there are always an alternatives but will not suffer the quality and Runbuye is one of them.







So, if you are looking for a dress as early as now you can always check their website and maybe what you are looking for is there.
