As I arrive in my hometown, I was welcomed by my wonderful mother and my awesome little sister.
Haven't seen them in 3 years, out of everything in Chicago, its them who I miss the most.
2nd to that...
Is my second family. The people whom I grew up with, saw my flaws, gave me great memories to hold on to.
Been friends since we were little rascals in high school at LakeView High. Though some are not present
in the photos, will update in the following days and posts to come.

After being away for so long, its really good to finally be home once again. Will make this trip worth while!
Though we were incomplete during dinner, Its okay, one day, we'll all be complete. <3
Spelunking was quite an adventure! Never ever leave Sagada without spelunking!
 |
| The water was Freeeeezing. |
 |
| Fun fact: The surface is slippery when dry, but when wet its like sand paper. |
 |
| Hiking and exploring |
 |
| The bus broke down, so we take photos. |

This trip just showed me how we can all forget that the Philippines has it's hidden beauty.
Great get away from the urban life and culture...
Will return here again one day.
"Yaman, Sagada"
On the way, for the first time to the one and only Sagada.

Never leave Sagada without visiting Yoghurt House.
With my fellow filmmakers.
At St. Joseph Inn
my first order: Vegetarian Pasta @ Yoghurt House
This is just DAY ONE of my wonderful trip to Sagada.
One of the most beautiful places that I have ever stumbled upon. Will for sure return
to this culture-rich town and the weather, is not too shabby I must say.
Starting this blog for me to share my everyday discoveries, my on going growth for fashion and beauty endeavors.
