Fresh Like Summer

top from Nuvali Bazaar, inner bandeau from Freeway, pleated shorts from Refill, shoes from Primadonna
mini bag from Steve Madden, accessories: necklace and ring from F21, bangles from cousin

There was nothing stopping me to do this hype look after looong days of rain and staying indoors. Mr. Sun has finally shone and enjoying a day out with the fam was just perfect! Don’t you agree? :) And because it was the first time in days that it was sort of summery again, I thought that a chic summery look was apt. Hence, the sheer top with an inner bandeau and pleated shorts— in colors of summer! :) Had I got bright colored shoesie, I would’ve picked it. But my new pd wedges did it, at least for that moment. Plus I really wanted to take the chance while it’s a pretty good day to walk tall in them. Oh, how I loved Sunday in Nuvali. I hope you, guys, did, too! xo

Sunday Fun Day is Fam Day

And after all the rainy days, the sun sure did shine. Thank God for a sunny Sunday! Perfect for the planned family day. Destination: Nuvali in Sta. Rosa, Laguna for my niece's post-birthday celeb and some sort of thanksgiving for my nephew after getting out of the hospital due to dengue. He said we'd "party, party" [Lol] once he got discharged.

the bagets with the ultimate lola and tita. :)

my cousin chay, her husband yuji, and my cutie nephew akio. :)

boat ride. our dengue boy looking cray cray.  ;)

the boys' activity-- biking!

We strolled Solenad 2 as well. Kids spent a little time in Time Zone while adults went window shopping. Soon, it was meal time!  We drove to Paseo to try the Big 30 Pizza. Been around Paseo for years, but yeah, this was the first time I tried it. We ordered big for a big family like ours. Turned out servings were really big we still had some to take home and eat the next day. He he.

sareeh for the crappy photo. ;)

birthday pizza

All bloated up, we preferred to have the dessert at home. A sweet cake treat from Purple Oven. See next post.

Sooo... I'm ending this post here. This looks quite a long one already. Showing you the yummy dessert we had in the next one. Bye-yee! (:

carbon copy

One morning, I sat before the desk of a school administrator and we were discussing my queries and other matters related to my brother's and my pamangkins' future schooling with them. In the midst of our discussion, she said, "You know what? You remind me of someone I know back in my high school days. Your built, your facial features, your smile, even your set of teeth... You and her are so alike." I was just listening while a bright smile was glued to my face. She continued, "She was my classmate. Her name is Evie Saputil." By the time she finished that sentence, I almost jumped and said, "Oh! She's my mum!" And we all laughed together with my Tita Helen, who while laughing also burst into tears upon hearing everything-- I guess it was a mix of momentary nostalgia and of an overwhelming incident.

Nanay, nanay talaga kita! Walang pwedeng magkamali. Ha ha. Carbon copy tayo eh! : )

Happy Mother's Day, Mummy/Mama/Nanay!

I love you.
