Emmy's 2012 - My Take

For the past weeks I have been waiting for this day to come! Finally it's the 64th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards! I was waiting for it because I was rooting for my Idol Peter Dinklage to win this years Outstanding supporting actor in a drama series where he was nominated (he played Tyrion Lannister on the hit series Game of Thrones). He won that award last year so I was kinda hoping he'd win it again this year! Any way, I'm still glad that Peter Dinklage was nominated still. I just love game of thrones. Zooey Deschanel was nominated too for the title Outstanding Lead Actress in a comedy series, too bad she didn't win! For the List of all those who were nominated and the winners for this years Emmy Award's you can find the list here.

I'm not a fashion expert, but here are my views for some of the red carpet looks.

Padma Lakshmi wearing a Monique Lhullier,and I can say that this dress looks good on her. perfect fit and makes her stand out. It also complements her skin color. I love it that Padma is rocking this dress so well. I love her make up also. Simple yet elegant in a way the she pulled off a neutral lip color.  I'm a big fan of big curls hair and I can say that she carried it well too. She looks stunning on this dress, suits her well.

And so I love this little girl! oh well not so little girl as she looked so sophisticated and so sweet wearing this dress by Zac Posen. Fits her perfectly and appropriately for her style and her age. love the sexy sandals too.

I super love this gown also by Monique Lhuillier. Ginnifer Goodwin could do a little smile to make the outfit prettier. I so love the details of the design. i love the bright color and the shoes are perfect for the dress.

Jullianne Moore wearing a Christian Dior Couture. I love her so much and she looks great in that dress, it's just that her hair is kind of missed placed. I'm just saying, she could have just made her hair tamed at the back. I feel like she's suffocating in this dress. But hey, that's just me. hehehehe

Claire Danes wearing a yellow Lanvin. For a mommy to be, she looks so great. Not to mention the baby bump showing slightly to remind people that we can be fashionable while we're pregnant.

Can i just say OMG!!!! I am now a fan of her dedication to look good. She looks so great wearing that purple gown by Zac Posen! It really revealed her nice curves, but i just cant agree with her purple hair and the hair dropping in front of her face. it just seems out of place for me. i just wished she could have dyed her hair blond again. Love the Red lipstick though!

this outfit is perfect! perfect for her and perfect for the occasion! love the baroque gold details! Vivienne Westwood did a great job on Tina Fey. Her hair and make up looks great on her too. 

It's my first time to blog something about fashion this big. hehehe Hope i can manage to blog more about things like this. the comments here are just my opinion on how i see them. hehehe hope you had fun guys! comments are very welcome! Good vibes everyone

TVD S1,S2 and S3 Bloopers

Video by (Mikeya0902)

So I was fidgeting my phone hours ago looking what am I going to write today for Fashion-Friday (Different topics for different days so that i have a guide what to write. hehehe) Anyways, while i was looking any interesting fashion videos on You Tube, I stumbled on this video. Since I am a great fan of the very talked about “The Vampire Diaries” I was very curious what the actors would look like when they’re caught off guard or make some small mistakes during their takes. Since the Vampire Diaries shows a lot of emotion like love, anger, revenge and resentment, I’d like to see them in a whole another side which is them, being just their self on set.

I have a few favorite parts of the video. One was where Nina Dobrev (Elena Gilbert) accidentally pulled the Statue over that led to Paul Wesley (Stefan Salvatore) saying “Oh my God!”. Second one was when Nina Dobrev (playing the role of Katherine Petrova) accidentally stepped on her own dress and fell to the ground while she was trying to let Ian Somerhalder (Damon Salvatore) chase her. This part Ian was laughing so hard. But my favorite part of the video was the last part. Where Ian Introduced himself to Taylor Kinney (Mason Lockwood) as Ian. They were all laughing so hard! They sure know have to have fun in the set but at the end, they deliver their lines and acting so well that they can really capture the hearts and emotions of their viewers.

Light moments guys! hope you guys enjoy the Video!

Walk off the Earth

Video by : Walk off the Earth

WARNING: EXPLICIT LYRICS

A few weeks ago, I posted a video on my WordPress blog about The Piano Guys. I love their cover of what makes you beautiful by one direction. Their video was fun and very wholesome and nice to hear. Great voice, and very talented guys!

The very first time I saw the video of the group "walk of the earth" was when I was looking for a cover of Somebody that I used to know by Gotye. When I saw their cover of it, I was mesmerized to see that they just had 1 guitar and there were 5 of them playing it. yes, you read that right, 5 people playing one guitar. I was watching it with my husband, and immediately we started to watch more of their videos. Their original compositions are very good also. I have also seen them guesting in the Ellen DeGeneres show showcasing them for reaching 35 million views in 2 weeks! Yes that's right 35 MILLION views on YouTube in 2 weeks. hehehe

They are cool guys and gal living in Ontario, Canada. I admire how much they could play the guitars and drums! Great voices also, not to mention they are all handsome and very pretty. Their videos are very light with a touch of humor. When watching their video it makes you feel that you are also there with them having fun! Very spontaneous and very innovative. By innovative i can see that they improvise some household things as musical instruments After I saw their cover of Somebody that I used to know by Gotye, I immediately subscribed to their YouTube account. And now they have a new cover of Payphone sang by  our (my husband and I) favorite band Maroon 5!

I hope you guys could visit their You Tube page and also their website! Walk off the Earth! you guys rock!

Pearl Farm Davao

A few years ago, my sister came home from her OJT in the UK. The family decided to go on an out of town trip to celebrate my sister's home coming! Since we haven't been to Davao as a family, we decided to have our family vacation there. It took us around 6-7 hours of traveling by land on a private car. But man i tell you my butt was so sore from the travel, i was 5 months pregnant then. I didn't complain because i know that after all this, it's gonna be worth it! And i was right! We went to the butterfly farm and crocodile farm in Davao. We enjoyed it so much, we even played paint ball. Maybe after this post I can also write about the butterfly farm and crocodile farm experience we had. All of these was taken during May of 2009. The rates may have changed since the time we were there. feel free to check their website guys, pearlfarmresort.com

Since we wanted to try out Pearl Farm, we went to their reception area. We payed for our rooms for an overnight stay and we patiently waited for the ferry to take us to the island. While we were waiting, we enjoyed playing and talking at their very spacious waiting area.They also have a small cafe where you can sit down, drink coffee and read the newspaper.

When the ferry boat arrived, we traveled for almost 10 to15 minutes from their reception area to the island itself where the hotel was located. We arrived late in the afternoon already, and we were greated by drum rolls, juice and and a short welcome message from the staff of the hotel.

FOOD:

The food was very nice and very delicious. every meal is an all-you-can-eat buffet! We enjoyed the different variety of food that was displayed every meal. The presentation was nice and very tempting to look at for another second heaping. to top of it all, I'd rate it a 10! Their juice is really fresh!

ACCOMMODATION:

I rate it a 10 also. the sheets are crisp and clean, comfortable beds and the bath room is very spacious and very clean! It's a place where i want to stay for the rest of the day! Knowing i was 5 months preganant at that time, i did not have a hard time sleeping because it was so comfortable to sleep with. our accommodation was in the Mandaya House.

If i could go back again to pearl farm, I'd gladly go back there to fully experience the island. An overnight stay is not enough to enjoy the amenities of the hotel! they also have their own souvenir shop, a spa and of course they have a small vehicle going around the vicinity of the island to accommodate guests to go from one point of the resort to another without having to have sore feet. But on the other side, walking around the resort is also nice because you get to experience nature at it's best and it serves also as an exercise while you're at it. They also have tons of water activities for the guests, but we only did the paddle boat because we were short of our time.

The night we stayed at the hotel, there was an End of the Summer Party at Malipano Island. It's part of the resort but located on another island.We had to ride small boats from our island to Malipano island. It was just a 5 minutes boat ride. They had fire dances, games and of course live band. Don't forget the food! We didnt stay that long at the party because my tummy was already acting up. The baby inside me wants to go to sleep already. To top it all we really did enjoy that party even if we had to leave early

We woke up early the next day to have breakfast and to prepare to check out. I for one haven't experienced the whole resort, but i had a great time because i was with my family and enjoyed the fun activities and the memories we made there together!.

So guys, if you want to have the time of your life and experience a 5 star resort at its totally best, you have to try pearl farm resort! It's more fun in the Philippines! you get to experience nature and have fun at the same time. Check them out at their website.click here.

Boracay Family Vacation 2012

it was late March this year when the family decided to go on a summer vacation. It’s been a while since we’ve traveled as a family. we were rooting out for Surigao since it was nearer to us, but then we saw Kris-tv on ABS-CBN. It was their summer episode in Boracay. Thats’s when we decided to go to Boracay instead! Since we were out of time already to book discounted airline tickets we decided maybe it would be much fun to go there by boat and then we could do a side trip to Iloilo and Aklan.
We booked ourselves and prepared for a 7 days escapade (that including our 1 overnight trip on the boat from Cdo- Ilo-ilo) when we arrived at Ilo-ilo, We then hired a bus to take us to Kalibo Aklan where a relative of ours would let us stay for the night before we travel to Boracay the next day. Ilo-Ilo to Kalibo is a 4 hours travel by land, Kalibo to Malay9the Pier going to Boracay) is another 1 hour and 30 mins. Then another 15 minute pumpboat ride form the pier to boracay!
the Long travel is finally over! Boracay here we come! we were 12 persons all in all including my son. so imagine the baggae we had to carry with us. but everything was all worth it. because we had so much fun!

Good Morning Boracay! Getting ready to do our water activities already.
The whole day we were just walking along the white sand beach! ahhhhh the thrill of hearing the waves and lots of people strolling along the streets of boracay!! this is truely a vacation! we stayed at station 3. we were very far from D’mall and all other shops. we had to walk a few miles, but we were thinking this is boracay! we have to walk to see everything! Good thing my son coopertae dand had so much fun running down the sandy streets.

walking along to find a place to have our dinner!

a mini bar along the sandy street of boracay

fresh seafoods to be displayed for you to pick and tell the waters how to cook them according to how you want it to be cooked.

strolling along at night in boracay, you might find some fire dancing action along the way. just put a donation on their donation box then you can readily take a picture with them.

your Boracay experience wont be the same if you wont try to party the Boracay way! I took this picture of my siblings, hubby, my sister’s boyfriend, our family friend ate ana lou and of course our father! hehehe

And what i love about most of this trip is that my son enjoyed it a lot!
