Lakwatsera's Random Nuggets

  If you feel like dancing, go ahead! I just did.  Feel free to dance again! I've been LSS'ing  (Last Song Syndrome) Jlo's new song since this morning, hence, the song title. "I wanna dance, and love, and dance again I wanna dance, and love, and dance again Dance, yes Love, next Dance, yes Love, next"

Life isn't treating me so kind right now but looking at the bright side, I believe I am still doing all right.  As my old friend used to say, no big worries.  Hakuna matata it means "no worries". Being down in life makes one appreciate its complexity and beauty.  Whenever challenges are upon us, we are confronted with choices, either we treat it as a blessing or a curse.  When we face our challenges squarely and learn our lesson from our experiences we always emerge as better persons.

Jessica Sanchez  is the idol of Pinoys all over the world! Oh yeah P-squared won American Idol Season 11 but I still believe Jessica Sanchez gave her very best!!! Besides, runners-up often end up having better careers than the winners.  So, congrats Philip and way to go Jessica!!! Bravo!!! For me, you are the real winner!!!

Pangarap kong maglakbay sa Ilocos Norte!!!  Tara na!!! Instead of sulking because we won't be able to join this weekend's adventure, I'd rather share with you a collection of photos of places I'd love to visit and explore up north (God willing)... To all my friends who are going ---I'm 'inggit' much:) Hehehe! Have a safe trip and enjoy!!! Don't forget to take pictures and take care!!! P.S.  Don't forget my "pasalubong" :)

Hubby and I were supposed to join our office friends for a three-day adventure up north this weekend.  It was supposed to be our first trip up there, I've been actually dreaming about the old houses and brick roads in Vigan, not to mention its famous longganisa, as well as the majestic Bangui windmills and the pristine beaches in Pagudpud.  Hayyy. Anyways, due to a family emergency, we will have to pass up on that trip.  I am instead leaving you here with a collection of photos of where I've been, while I finish up doing the collection of photos of where I want to be in the future :)  I am a wanderlust---I am lakwatsera!

If you haven't well... Meet Instagram It’s a fast , beautiful and fun way to share your photos with friends and family. Snap a picture, choose a filter to transform its look and feel, then post to Instagram. Share to Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr too – it's as easy as pie. It's photo sharing, reinvented. Oh yeah, did we mention it’s free?   Visit http://instagr.am/ Here's a few snaps from the office yesterday, courtesy of my friend Anne:  Koji and moi:) this time with Cha and Anne:)

According to WIKIPEDIA, a CEILING is an overhead interior surface that covers the upper limit of a room . It is generally not a structural element, but a finished surface concealing the underside of the floor or roof structure above. I remember looking up the ceiling when a song title slips my memory...  as if the ceiling remembers the song title, hehehe! While wishful thinking I tend to look at the ceiling as well:) And take pictures when I have a chance and a camera on hand.  I happen to have collected a few ceiling photos over time, hence, this blogpost. Do you remember when you were younger, you keep looking at the ceiling when you can't find answers to test questions, as if the ceiling have the answers, hehehe!    @ Radisson Blu, Cebu City, venue of INAP Conference & Exhibition Ceilings of Fontana, Red Restaurant, Bale Capampangan and Bubble Tea How can I forget the loveliest ceiling of them all, lol! @ Astoria Regency, reception venue of our 12/24/200

Thanks to my good friend Bethchay for his outfit:) Jessica never cease to amaze me everytime she performs, she gives me goosies:) I always look forward to DongYi, and her allies' adventures:)  Her son is also fun to watch! Three great reasons why I'm excited to go home this Friday night, aside from the weather acting up (hello, summer's not over yet!). >>>Danjo's kissess once we're at the door at home, erases all the stress away... >>>Watching American Idol's Jessica Sanchez on ETC makes me really proud of being Pinoy.  She is truly the pride of all Pinoys all over the world.  She sings like an angel:)  Hope she wins this season! >>>Lastly, I so love watching DongYi, she exudes beauty, positivity and strength. How about you guys?  What are you excited about?

Peek at our next order:) Bubble Tea is love:) Hubby, Bestie and moi's stroll @ Harbor Point (oops! it's 2012 not 2011, sorry!) What better way to visit Harbor Point for the first time than having both hubby and best buddy at Bubble Tea:) Japanese Green Milk Tea with Pearls for buddy and me, and Honey Dew Melon Milk Shake for hubby :P Sarrrap! I must admit though, hubby's order was way more "masarap" than mine, hehehe! Buddy and moi's order next visit will be: Strawberry Milk Shake and Japanese Green Tea Milk Shake:) Hubby at the entrance!  Welcome to Harbor Point! lol Once we entered Harbor Point, I can't help but imagine being transported into another place and time, hehehe! It's like we're @ MBK Mall in Bkk, although not as big. I love the ambiance, I love everything esp. the Welcome Plants (we have them at home!).  We can't afford everything they offer right now as most of them are high end, but being a pasyalera este lakwatser
