Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing women who raised you up to be Ladies and Gents you are now. ♥ Give them a big hug and tons of kisses. :)

And as a daughter, I want to dedicate this post as well to the woman who rear and made me the person I am know. I wouldn’t be who I am now without her. For every pain, sacrifice and hardship, for all the laughters, worries and concerns. My life would have been crucial without her around. Thank You for everything mom! Will forever be your number one. #IloveuMom:D

Taken at Sunshine State. It was one of those slimy experiences I had with her :)

Meet my mom- my life’s greatest gift. :) Taken from a cousin’s wedding 2 years ago.

Managed to dig in these pictures from my online accounts.

Taken at Universal Studios Orlando’s Islands of Adventures :)

*Happy Moments - Captured!*

This picture is quite awesome. Taken inside a portalet at Cowlitz County in Washington. I know, but we just had too. After all I would have died if I did not. WE had no idea it was that kind of freezing outside! lols.

And since it was Mother’s Day, my sister and I managed to plan a “little”surprise for her. 

Flowers + gifts + Something Sweet + home-cooked brekky made with love = ♥

Mother’s Day is a day to remind us that as much as we’re busy growing up, they too are growing old. They can’t live forever, as much as we would have wanted too, because that’s a reality. So shower them with love, make them proud, hug and kiss them until you can because there’s no denying fact that she is and will always remain to be that influential to our lives…. Spoil them today, she’s more than worth it! She deserves it! :)

So how about you? How did you spend your mother’s Day? :) xx. Z.

This is sad but true.

Last Weekend, the Official Annebisyosa World Tour finally reached us. The No Other Concert in CDO has happened and I just know I had to watch.  After all, the night is young and so are us! With her beauty, sexy body, oozing appeal, jolly hosting skills and more, there is definitely something to like and love about her.

But before heading out, we decided to drop by YC to have that short yet sweet random tete a tete that eventually leads to a pig-out session pizza overload! :X

Meet My Nx Friends (From L-R): Tinzy, Cheny, me, Saerah, Cuerqz and Moi.

We haven’t known that we had an intimate dinner with Anne after all! Look Well in the picture. What a Coincidence it is! LOLS. :)

Rare moments. Tinzy became a good friend way back in College while Cheny, on the other hand, happens to be one of the few people I met first when I was a transferee student from Manila. Up to the time that we took the same course in the same University for College! :) 

Moving on and back to the concert, my friends and I got the table 4 of the Super VIP tickets. 

At the end of the a tiresome week, girls just really wanna have F-U-N. And oh, as freebies/ memorabilia we got a free shirt too and a free click with no other than Daddy Smith as well. :)

Disclaimer: Heavy pictures as follow. Photos and more photos as follow! :)

and the nearest one I had? This.

And it’s okay. Still, I was literally only 5 steps away from her and I must say that it was a good concert, it was a blast! I totally got myself guilty of too much laughing that night. And the utmost Free perk? I came home with the feeling of realization of what she emphasizes in her concert. Dream Big. Dream Hard, I know it’s a cliche, but she is a real living example that DREAMS DO COME TRUE! 

Talk To You Soon.

xx. Z.

P.s. The rest are after-concert photos. Nahawa lang sa pagka perky ni Anne. lols. 

With Moi and Kimmie

There are a lot of pictures left to sort yet I can’t refused to post a few of them in my own blog to share to the world how happy and fulfilled I am today! :) 

Went up to Dahilayan Adventure PArk to spend some R&R with the family and to escape the tremendous heat since weather in CdeO has been bi-polar lately. Neither in my thoughts would I imagine that I’ll be able to experience such Adrenaline Rushing Adventure of a lifetime! A life and Death situation kind of Trail with an ATV- conquered, survived and crossed-out from my bucketlist! :)

While waiting for our safety briefing and orientation. Cam-whoring sesh with cousin Ellen and brother dear.

ATV Buddies! :)

Trail starts here.

It was a long trail and a tricky one. One wrong move will lead you to a minimum of splinting or casting your body or to a maximum of amputating a part of your body. If worse comes to worst, you’ll fall off from the cliff! And yes! WE are aware of this. The crew and the supervisor,which happens to be a friend, reminded me of the  risks and worst things that could happen. I was afraid and torn at first. They advised me to try the buggy instead. But remembering what Mark Twain’s quote: “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” Alas! I am in it for a lifetime. And I know, the experience is gonna be oh-so-worth it! Let these pictures be a witness to all of it. :)

After all the bumps, loops and downhill experiences, we survived! :)

*Pagoda ang beauty ko* :D

My Thoughts while I’m at it: 

Well Today, I found myself waiting for an impending doom about to happen. My Vertigs and recurrent migraines are definitely back in town! Nonetheless, I manage to push myself beyond my limit and join my family in a random and take-note, a no plan at all out of the City Trip. #NagkayayaanLangAngPeg. I have nothing except my courage, myself and my faith in me, along with God’s guidance.Yet I was able to survive. I know life will never be on smooth sail. It will be a series of ups and downs, bumpy rides and turns and even the most dangerous curve that will test your whole being. Like riding an ATV, you are on your own. Nobody can help you but yourself. You are your own master and your own captain. It’s a tough and dangerous ride actually. But who cares anyway? At the end of the trail it’s about the journey and not the destination. Everyone will reach their respective destination in time. There will always be people who will meet and greet you at the end. But the most fulfilling part of all is the journey itself. How well you lived it. How well you enjoyed it. How well did you make the most out of it. After all, Life’s a journey; it is a trip! :) We can only live life and be young once. So take the courage and drop the fear. Carpe Diem! 

Thumbs up! So how about you? Where will you spend your summer?! :) 

So here is basically how I spent the early days of my birth month. Less Words, more pictures! Promise! =)

My little Sister’s Recognition Day: She brought home the Gold once again. Congrats sissy! You always make us proud. P.s. please don’t grow up too fast. =’)

Will never get tired of being your personal alalay-slash-driver-slash-make up artist-slash photographer. 

P.s. please don’t grow up too fast. =’)

Meanwhile: Me, Mom and wacky I strike a pose! Cam-whoring Sesh is what we do to kill the time while waiting at her  Post Recognition Treat in Classic Savory. :)

Then Came in Holy Week! As what I have mentioned in my previous blog HERE, I was able to spend my holy week in a no-anything-techy for nearly 5 days! Yes! I survived! Actually, it was all what I wanted to do. A blog hiatus, online shop closed, no concert meetings and cellphones nearly turned-off to keep it all in a minimal mode. Maundy Thursday was spent in an evening ritual of Visita Iglesia while Black Saturday was spent at Divine Mercy Shrine in El Salvador, Misamis Oriental. You can further see how lovely this place is by clicking HERE. 

he nine-hectare land for the Shrine was purchased for a nominal amount and the shrine was constructed by donations. The shrine was completed in 2008 and is noted for having a 15.24 metre (50-feet) statue of the Divine Mercy Jesus which is overlooking Macajalar Bay on the Mindanao Island.

Snap shots while on hike!

 BTW, women are instructed to wear skirts. So if it happens you wear pants, you must rent long skirts so that you can go inside. That explains all the “malongs” that you can see :)

Then came easter! I had a jam-packed sched and an Easter dinner with the family and clan. This time no pictures were taken since whole day is spent for Easter Dawn Mass and groceries.

The Next Day, on the other hand, was spend for some rendezvous and tete a tete time with old time HS Friends in a more intimate corner of the city we were able to discover few weeks ago.

As usual bes came in late! So the post-birthday surprise for him came in a little late as well. HAHAHA 

Our Signature posed and looks. 

Lunch Date, Hunger Games, MBB Gelatto and oh-so yummy Chicken Charlie dinner.. Time flies whenever you’re in great company! ♥ 

Belated Happy Birthday Bes! To infinity and beyond! :) xx. Z.

P.s. Feeling of being one of C.C’s newest endorser? Pwede! Hehehe mwah!
