  • Euro Tour Update

    Change of plans.

    We decided not to include London because I don’t want to go through the hassle of applying for 2 different visas.

    After weeks of waiting for the Audited Financial Statement which is a requirement for filing annual income tax, of which income tax is a requirement for Shengen visa application, we finally asked for a visa appointment and May 11 was given to us.

    Meaning, after May 11 we have to allot at least 10 days for the visa result to come-out. Thus, we need to re-sched our travel from May to June. (Which came out as a blessing because we need to set-up the satellite office in Pangasinan before we can have our month-long vacation.)

    Iterinary now includes Paris(France) – Brussels(Belgium) – Frankfurt(Germany) – Milan(Italy) – Venice – Rome.

    I love booking.com for those ‘free cancellation’ bookings they offer.

    We’ll enter France and exit in Rome.

    I pray for our visas to be approved.

    I pray that my dream of riding a gondola in venice will finally come true.

  • My daily source of Vit C

    When you reach the age of 30, whether you like it or not, you have to take extra effort in taking care of your skin. In my case, I don’t like it because I am so lazy doing all those daily beauty routine. I am just lucky to have good genes that requires me minimal maintenance just so I can keep my face and body clean and fresh. But it came to a point when I realized I needed a moisturizer with UV protection, same with body lotion. Glad that I found out about The Body Shop’s Vit C collection. I have always loved Body Shop products… from lip balm, moisturizer and face powder to body wash and scrub, I’ve trusted their product for years. In this case with Vit C, I have started using their facial moisturizer with UV protection, facial cleansing polish, microdermabrasion (exfoliation) and radiance capsule (sort of a night cream). They’re a big leap already from my usual daily routine but as I’ve said… I’m not getting any younger.
