Random Wednesday

One Wednesday afternoon we tried the local food truck. We didn't find anything special about it but we still loved the fact that we were able to go outside and enjoy the sunny weather.  

Hopewell Rocks

One sunny Sunday day, my husband and I went on an adventure. I was thinking of just a simple picnic at the beach and let the day pass by just laying down. He, however, has a different plan. A better plan. He brought me to Hopewell Rocks. 

^^took a hike in this beautiful place 

^^as I've mentioned, I was thinking of a day in the beach so my get up was completely wrong - i am talking about swimsuit under that maxi dress. good thing i brought with me my cardigan. 

I had no idea where and what Hopewell Rocks is but when we got there, I was in awe of the place. These rocks are called flowerpot rocks because, you got it right, they look like flower pots. We got there during low tide so we were able to walk on the ground. During high tide almost half of the rocks are covered with chocolate water. 

^^ the Chocolate River

^^ this is called the Big Cove

  At the end of the hike we just grabbed our picnic bag and people watched. It got chilly so we decided to head home. Another fun JM adventures for the record!

To Bangs or Not to Bangs...

That is the question.

I had my first ever haircut in Canada yesterday after almost a year of not having any. Why you may ask? One is that being used to getting haircut as cheap as $1.5 to $15 (maximum) in the Philippines, I find myself hesitant to shell out $20 (cheapest) to pay for 'just' having my hair trimmed. Second, I planned on growing out my hair anyway. When I noticed the split ends on my hair, however, I decided that I needed that it's time. 

While at the salon, the girl asked me if I ever had my bangs cut before. I told her there was one time I did it myself and the result was not pleasant at all. I remember asking one of my colleagues "pangit ba?" (is it ugly?) and she just laughed which means it's that bad. I've also always thought, or at least that's what people have told me, that my face looks rounder with bangs on so I just veered away from it. I have to admit though that I've always been jealous of girls who rock thick full on bangs and I am just contented with imagining myself with it because deep in my heart, it's not for me. Anyway, the girl said that she thinks I would actually look good in it! She's the first ever to say that to me! Eveeeer! I just hid my smile and thanked her. 

Back in the house, I told my husband about the whole story and he said, he would still prefer me without bangs that he likes how my hair is right now.

Well, the question still remains - to have bangs or not to have bangs? 

Maybe sometime in the future, who knows, right? For now, however, I still prefer how my hair is.

That Crisp White Shirt

There's just something about men's button up shirt that I am attracted about especially with a clean, crisp white shirt. Although I am the type who can't maintain a white shirt or jeans clean, I love how classic and refreshing it looks. pair it with anything and you are good to go!

P.S. this is actually from the men's section of Joe Fresh. ^^tiheee^^

Wedding Weekend

Last weekend we attended our very good friends' wedding - Mike and Melissa. It was raining cats and dogs the entire day but it didn't bother any of us. Personally, I missed getting dressed, wearing my pumps and putting on make up. It was also my first Canadian wedding. They got married in the church with the red door, which I totally adore (I have no idea why, but I have this fascination about red doors).  Everyone had fun! I couldn't help but feel so blessed to married to Jesse and join his family. At one point everyone just sang 'Liquor and Whores' which, by the way have never heard of it prior to that. You know when you attend a party or a wedding and there's that group that makes you feel like an outcast, that's our family. We just huddle together in one giant circle, jump, sing, and dance. I love it! 

Celebraaaation!

**one of the rare moments that he is smiling in a picture

Celebrated my man's birthday last Sunday in the same restaurant we celebrated my birthday last year. We originally wanted to go to an Indian restaurant but was still closed at the time we went there so off we went to eat our favorite sushi. 

Orange you Glad It's Almost Summer?

Yesterday's weather reminded me of the Philippines. It was hot, a little humid and was overall, really awesome! That's why I whipped up this outfit to add brightness to our Sundate. How cute is that tie dye effect and that hole at the back?!  

I hope everyone had a great weekend and here's to an awesome week ahead!
