The Ruins

Summer’s over but this doesn’t stop me from sharing to you about my summer trip last May. Bacolod is always our number one destination every holidays or vacations. Why? First, it’s where my father is assigned. Second, it’s nearer to Iloilo compared to other places. And lastly, it is fully packed with a lot of scenic views of nature’s wonders, historical sites and a few malls for night outs making it an ideal summer destination especially for nature lovers, like me.

I like this fountain very much! This I guess is the most romantic place it the palace. It reminds me of the movie "Prom". 

 The is the main door of the burnt palace.

This is my elder sister in her jump shot. 

So here are just a few of the photos taken from The Ruins. This is the remnant of the burnt mansion during the 1800s. I forgot the exact date when it was built and burned.

This is a photo of the construction of the Ruins.

Plaid in a Bow

I started my weekend by making as many bows as I can. Just look at the several strips of cloth needed to make bows.

At the end of the end, I was able to make twenty- four bows. Thanks to our helpers!

Language of Friendship

This artwork was done when I was still in Grade 6. So hello! I still have it in my Memories Box! (the yellow green box if you've read the post) 

Almost all of my classmates wrote short messages on this paper. there are even a few written at the back but  the writings are so light that they cannot be read even if I will post it here.

Shining. Shimmering. Splendid.

This is a Christmas gift from a woman I now consider my second mother. She gave me this last year. 

This pink robot-and-phone bracelet is a souvenir gift from my friend, Elissa last year also. I really love wearing this because it always catches the attention of people. Thanks to Elissa's good choice! 

This one is my aunt's pasalubong from New Zealand. I rarely wear it because I prefer using it on special occasions. 

Random Gift

I really don't know why a friend gave me this just his morning. We are not even close. we barely talk, too.

But I still thank her for a random gift. An addition to my collection... STICKY NOTES! : )

Polka Dot for Summer

My sister gave this Forever 21 blouse to me as a "pasalubong" from Cebu last summer. I paired it with my mother's hand-me-down brown belt, black shorts (not too short because I am not used to it) and sky blue watch. 

Palancas from My Friends

Here’s a picture of the palancas my friends gave me. They are supposed to be given during retreat only and not during immersion like what we had last July. Nevertheless, I think palancas or good luck letters are expressions of how people such as my dearest friends care for me.
