It was one of those incredible days of reality. I look around for a second to absorb my surroundings as I realise the fullness of what is happening. During this day, I was with my friend, Aika. We see morning dew on the grass and light trickling through the above trees. I see my friend completely flooded with emotion of love, and joy. We decided to take pictures as we are around the beautiful surroundings. There was so much emotion and I wish my camera could record sound at the same time. To witness raw emotion of love is simply breathtaking and beautiful. I’ll share it through my eyes, then below are some beautiful pictures of my friend, Aika.

This is the classic white on white look that you can redo or grab from your closet. I throw on some Factorie shorts and paired it with a Zara knit top and to get the look done, I put on Bershka white long sleeves. I paired my outfit with Adidas Superstars because it can match anything you wear and it’s classic. I was trying to look for one before here in the Philippines but their sizes are too big for me so I asked my sister to buy it in London. This outfit is great for a night out, dinner with friends or just a casual day. White is a dominant color that can match anything so don’t be afraid to play with the colors.

Summer is fast approaching and what better way to kick start your summer than by planning a trip to the beautiful Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte. This place isn't overrun by tourists yet, but it's getting there. So head on out - now. Pagudpud's beaches are beyond amazing: long stretches of white sand and crystal clear blue water will surely leave you in awe. Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte is located at the northernmost tip of the Luzon Island. 

When my parents surprised us with a 3-day trip to Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte on Christmas break, I just could not contain my excitement. It will be my first time going to a place so far from home and I was looking forward to it. We went there using our car and it took at least 10 to 12 hours from Manila to Ilocos Norte.

The place was marvelous. We first went to the Cape Bejeador Lighthouse in Burgos, it's a 19th century octagonal structure finished with baked brick. It still works today and also houses a small museum. We also went to the infamous Bangui Windmills. Their purpose is to provide electricity to the entire province of Ilocos Norte. Although, the stark white, 70-meter windmills jutting out of the beach also offers a stunning view and is totally Instagram worthy!

If you're looking for a more historic place to visit, you should definitely visit Malacanang of the North. This mansion used to be the house of ex-president Ferdinand Marcos in Ilocos. You'll even see a fantastic view of the Paoay Lake in the veranda at the back.

Now don't forget about the streets of Vigan! I have seen a lot of beautiful pictures of Vigan on the internet and being present there felt like a dream. The kalesas, cobblestone streets and European architecture of houses bring a strong feeling of history. Its like you're in the olden times. 

We also went to Pagudpud beach and explored the many beautiful waterfalls in Ilocos Norte. This place was truly memorable. Im blessed to have explored and visited such a wonderful place.

Do you want clothes in pastel or dark colors? Do you prefer them plain, printed or with lines? Do you give much weight to the kind of cloth used? Do you dress according to the weather?

Your answer to these questions will reveal that aside from comfortability and price, five equally significant factors are considered in buying and wearing clothes. These are color, lines, texture, workmanship, and season.

 

 (http://www.amymclaughlin.com)

• COLOR

 Color makes life beautiful and meaningful. Everybody is fascinated by different hues that reflect distinct feelings or emotions. Without color, what do you think life would be?

• LINES

 Lines tell about the dimensions of length and width. They can create shapes and forms when they combine and enclose spaces.

• TEXTURE

 When buying clothes, we also consider the quality of fabric used. Whether it is pleasing to the eyes and soft or comfortable to the touch is a deciding factor in choosing clothes to wear. This is what texture is all about. Texture creates an impression that is understood by our senses of sight and touch.

• WORKMANSHIP 

People select clothes based on the amount and quality of work put into its production. This is workmanship or the care with which the fabric and other accessories had been handled to produce well-made clothes. Some clothes even have better quality details such as small machine stitches, deep pleats, adequate and even seam allowances, and properly placed darts.

• SEASON

During summer, we usually wear light-colored clothes that make us feel comfortable. Some clothes, when worn by others, look beautiful on them, but when you try them on, they seem not to look right on you. This is because different persons have different body structures and sizes. Clothes that is loose or tight on you may just be fit on others, and vice versa. Choose clothes that match your body size and type.

You wanna know what the best beach in the world looks like? This is it. This is the White Beach in Boracay in the Philippines. This white beach is 4 kilometers of pure white powdery sand. 

It was my first visit here during May 2015 with my family and relatives. 

Boracay, about an hour flight from the Philippine’s capital, Manila, is tiny. But, what it lacks in size, it more than makes up for on its performance. It’s a home for playing, partying, and just playing pandemonium. You would definitely love this place. A great way to see the island, is to ride the local tricycles. Four rides can just take you anywhere in the island, and it’s even cheaper for a short ride. The Philippines is made up of 7,000 islands, which for you and me, means quality seafood that is cheap and fresh. There is no shortage of things to do in Boracay. But my tip for a great day out is to head to Ariel’s Point for a spot of diving. The place i stayed in at Boracay is at Astoria which is located at the beachfront of Station 3. There are a bunch of rooms to choose from, including beautiful standard rooms.

During sunset, you can see the nice view from the beautiful beach, but at station 3, it can get crowded. It is now busy and built up but sit and watch the sail boats at sun down with a beer or cocktail and you could be in paradise.

I had a great time for myself to relax. To feel the beauty of God’s creation. In a place busy of boracay, here you find the haven of peace.

Last summer, me and my family went to universal studios, Japan. Universal studios in a very big amusement park, with fun rides, amazing sceneries and really delicious food. The workers there were very accommodating, they were very nice and jolly. It was such an amazing trip! if you’re going to Japan, you should consider going to Universal Studios! You’ll have so much fun!

Express Pass

 If you don't wanna wait in line for the rides, I recommend you to get the express pass. Its gonna save you for waiting in line!

Most of the teenagers these days have this thing of being productive with their time. One example is when i a teenager do my requirements as early as now so i could submit them on time. But sometimes we teenagers run out of things to do even if we have free time. 

You want to know how to be productive with your free time? Do these 7 things for you to be a become more productive with your time!

(http://www.dailyfinance.com/)

• CLEAN 

Whenever I have free time I automatically start picking up dirty clothes, vacuuming, or dusting. I figure that if I'm not going to do anything for a bit, I might as well have a neat house to do nothing in! Maybe a little weird, but it really makes you feel better when you have a nice, clean living space. It's one of the most productive things to do and helps you feel very accomplished!

• LAUNDRY 

Whenever I have free time I like to catch up on doing laundry. This way I don't have to worry about not having the right outfit cleaned and ready to go when I need it. I can just grab what i want and go!

•  DON'T THINK

Of course you can't really "not think" because your brain is constantly working. But what I really mean is relaxing. You're a busy person and when you get a little free time you need to be able to treat yourself to a little relaxation!

• READ

For me reading can really help you learn new things and help you become more aware or knowledgable on how reality really is. This can also be one productive way of using your free time because you just don't read but you also learn new words as well. 

• SPEND TIME WITH THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE

Spending time with the people you love gives not just a smile on your face but also the motivation to do what you love.
