"Dalagang Filipina"

Long weekend was spent way too good. To make things short, we went to Zambales and Subic from Sunday to Monday. Casa San Miguel foundation, which is actually an art school and a museum, was worth all the hours of travel and though we weren't able to go to the beach the next day due to bad weather, the place were cozy and relaxing enough to stay at. (Shots were by mom)

Too bad though we weren't able to take photos inside the museum :( Will come back there someday for those! :D And guess who came along with us. 

Shoes from Charles & Keith (Overused!)

WHAT IS DALAGANG FILIPINA =))

Dress and cape from Coco Cabana, belt from Forever 21

Only decent photo inside the museum :( Or at least, one of. Btw, I changed right after taking outfit shots because I forgot to bring shorts and was not feeling comfortable. 

There ya go! sago! 

Uggs in May

"Uggs in May" or "Belated Mother's day special", whichever, that's what this post is for. 

For our "Belated Mother's day" celebration, we went to Baguio city! Believe me, I never planned to have an OTDS and that's the reason why I look such a minimalist (joke!) here. 

Well, the truth is, I wasn't able to bring accessories because I wanted to dress comfortably and simple for this occasion. 

And yes, It's not easy to pose especially when you're not used to it. I kept on laughing just because I don't usually do this! :))

(shirt from Zara, distressed jeans from Forever21, Ugg boots from Muji, bag from Thailand)

look at my ever beautiful mom! People don't usually believe but, yeah.

(tank top from Mango, cardigan from Zara, shades from Ray-Ban, shoes from Toms Shoes)

Btw, Happy Mother's Day Mi! Thanks for everything! :D

Da Vao

Yes, it's "The Vow", hahaha! Forgive my shallow happiness. Anyways, my family celebrated last holy week in Davao city! It was actually a shotgun getaway again. :))
I've never been to Davao before this trip and I've only heard few things about Davao from some of my favorite bloggers like Ms. Kryz Uy and Ms. Cheyser Pedregosa but since "Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.", we booked our flights and reservations few days before the actual holy week. 


'nuff said. Photo flood for the summary of the entire trip! :D

Crocodile park! :D

(Shirt from my brother, leggings from Forever 21, shoes from Posh Pocket Shoes) 

Yes, we are wacky at times.

Just wanna say, I miss Davao so much. :(

Early Getaway

There are 3 things I actually have to clear. 

First, I won’t start my every post with my “What-where” scheme anymore. No reason. 

Second, I really really have to make use of my blog (i.e. update, post more often, haha) I seriously need to be more productive. :|

Third, my online store’s coming soon! Please do like the pagehttp://www.facebook.com/UDreamsbyMaikkie Thanks! 

Pagbigayan niyo ang ichusera kong sarili na nagfefeeling photographer! Minsan lang to! :))

 Nagsasa Cove, Zambales city

This was the last few days of February and the sun’s literally scorching. The last week of February was one of the worst week I’ve ever had. Don’t ask. Haha! Anyways, I was surprised when my mom and bro suddenly told us to pack our bags out of the blue, an unexpected getaway. So, all these photos to summarize our "getaway".

 As you can see, I don’t have my face in any of these photos. I’m saving it up for my outfit post, soon! :)) Do check out Zambales though! It’s treasured with beautiful coves worth-seeing. 

BTW, sunnies from Aldo

Til’ my next post! :)

Heritage Village

What: The Heritage Village
Where: Heritage Village, Vigan City, Philippines

P.S. It really is beyond beautiful there. I kept on saying “Ang Ganda talaga” over and over again then. 

(Inner tank top from Mango, Loose tank top from my brother, ripped jeans fromForever 21, Slippers from Havaianas)

So, yeah, another exquisite place you MUST visit. The laid-back feeling was really something Vigan City have kept for so many years until now. And not to mention, the houses were tremendously old-fashioned yet It acquired extreme beauty.

Windmills

What: The Windmills in Bangui Bay

Where: Bangui Bay, Laoag, Ilocos Norte (I guess?), Philippines

P.S. It took us around 4 to 5 hours travel from the city. The Manila to Vigan city trip was around 10 hours.

The Windmills in Bangui Bay was truly amazing. Unfortunately, we got there at around 5 to 6 PM. And the sun already set. At least, we got to take awesome photos. \m/

 (Bowler hat from a booth in Rockwell Bazaar, DIY polo from my brother, Armor brooch-used as a “tie” from Hong Kong, Paper bag shorts from Mango, Belt from Forever 21, Ankle boots from Zara)

Apology for the low-quality photo. This was edited since our photos were dark and the ones with the flash on was ugh, awful. Anyway, here are some of the photos.

One of the must-see places in the world. Believe me. :)
