Trip Confirmed for 2014: The Philippines!

So finally after all the discussion and research, we decided on The Philippines in Jan 2014/Feb2014. It may not be the most luxurious trip but I am sure it is all worthwhile and a good experience for a city girl like me. It's gonna be a walk down the memory lane for boy as we are going back to his hometown - Leyte, where most of his childhood memories are. I can see from how much he really wanted to go back to the Philippines because ever since he has come to SG, he has not gone back to visit anyone. 

Really appreciate the thoughts that boy has for me initially when I wanted to go to the Maldives. He's always trying to meet my every demands and I can feel it.. I am very grateful for that. But this time round, I wanted him to go where he really wants to go.. and this is it - The Philippines.

Honestly speaking, I am quite excited about it because this is gonna be a rather long vacation.. 8D7N or 7D5N depending on the flight we are gonna choose. Nervous also because I am not sure what to expect and will be seeing his grandparents for the first time! 

Hopping over a few places in the Philippines and all these will be planned by boy. I am only in charge of the air tickets which is what I am best at. :D

Nope we will probably not be hopping over to Borocay because that is a touristy place and it will be quite far from where we will be. Will be going to more of the raw places.

Wee, vacation!

Doesn't matter where the place is; it's the partner who's most important :)

Motivation!

I have been diligently hitting the  gym twice a week in office for some routine exercise for the past 3 weeks. I really really want to lose weight so much but all years of procrastination just left me with no motivation at all. Because when I see food, i go wild.

So one fine day I was looking through my instagram feed and came across a wedding gown photo. I have a thing for fashion (even though I may always be wearing just that few dresses because it's quite hard to find my size). I like looking at unique designs and I always imagine I could design my own clothes. So yah I came across a wedding gown photo and immediately it just caught my attention. 

So who is the designer that caught my attention and gave me the motivation to work on my body shape?

Galia Lahav.

The gowns are simply stunning. Simple but with a taste of elegance, not like the usual gowns I see.

Really love how the laceback is, and mermaid cut!

And this label below from Reem Acra. Another unique piece.

I am really far from getting myself in such gowns so I am trying my best to at least exercise. Well.. better than not doing any at all! Each exercise session I managed to run 2.4KM which was a huge feat for me because ever since I graduated from JC, I have never ran such long distance before.

I hope I can persevere on, with these pics as my motivation!
