Let’s be completely honest: No one enjoys returning to work after the lovely summer holidays.
But no matter what, Summer is gone and we won’t be able to stop it. What should we do? Remain calm during the whole autumn and wait for Christmas? Seems boring. We all have a dire need to escape. I need to dance until all the pressure is gone.
I found these party dresses from ROSEGAL that would help me and probably help you out if you feel the same as me. Let dance our way through this autumn.
The Black lace dress is my personal favorite of the classic dresses. Black is a sexy color, even more, sexy when it combines with the lace sheer sleeve. I’m so satisfied they add lots of details on the sleeve.
White is a classy, clean color. Put different color‘s stripes on it, it becomes fun to wear. Suitable for in or out. A nice choice for dance & party lovers. This adorable dresses only cost $9 at the moment. Get it now.
Elegant style matches its color. The flare print is well detailed. Vintage is always charming and attractive. With flower prints, it reaches a new level.
I’m not in the mood to dress up lately, It’s probably the weather for most of the day it’s been raining here in Japan. I’ve been staying indoors making me feel both nostalgic and melancholic.
But today Mr. Sun decides to get out of his cave cloud hence we were able to attend my niece's sports fest in their school today. I decided to wear this white Multi-Layered Flounce Tank Top and Openwork Skirt from www.dresslily.com.
MANILA, 19 September 2017 -- AirAsia is introducing direct flights from Manila to one of the most vibrant and biggest cities of Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City, further strengthening the airline’s commitment as an Asean carrier.
AirAsia Philippines CEO Captain Dexter Comendador said, “We are thrilled to announce that we will start servicing direct flights from Manila to Ho Chi Minh in November as part of our commitment to continue bringing the Philippines closer to neighboring cities within the Asean region.”
To celebrate the announcement, all-in fares from as low as P990 for Manila - Ho Chi Minh route are now available for booking today until 8 October 2017 on airasia.com and the airline’s mobile app. The introductory promo fares are available for travel period from 17 November 2017 to 21 November 2018.
“AirAsia is the only airline that directly services all ten Asean countries with established operations in the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia. Last year, the AirAsia Group carried 13.4 million people within Asean and we aim to continue bringing the region closer together via inter-Asean connectivity,” Comendador added.
AirAsia has been recently recognized for its outstanding performance in the Asean priority integration sector for tourism at the ASEAN Business Awards 2017 held in Manila with Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte personally giving the award to AirAsia Group CEO Tony Fernandes and 11 other winners from different sectors last September 6.
AirAsia services Manila – Ho Chi Minh route with three flights weekly or every Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday.
Vietnam offers travellers an opportunity to discover the country’s tradition that overlaps with French colonial influences and picturesque coastline. A visit first to Ho Chi Minh City (formerly known as ‘Saigon’), is the perfect starting point to explore southern Vietnam. This vibrant city is the centre of commerce and to get a good glimpse of its beauty, it is advisable to seat at a roadside café with a cup of Vietnamese iced coffee or ‘Ca Phe Sua Da’ followed by a stroll to famous architectural marvels such as the Notre Dame Cathedral, Saigon Opera House, Jade Emperor Pagoda and temples.
To appreciate the local culture, travellers can sample a myriad of fresh produce and food offerings from Ba Chieu Market, a local market off the beaten path for the famous baguette sandwich, ‘Banh Mi’ or some ‘Com Tam’, a ‘broken rice’ style dish topped with grilled meat; or go shopping for various types of quality fabric at affordable prices at the famed Ben Thanh Market. If you have an interest in history, visit The War Remnants museum or the famed Cu Chi tunnels for a glimpse into what life was during the war.

We spent the entire day traveling around Kobe. We first headed to Hyogo, Kobe for Budo- gari (grape picking). It was a tiring one and a half hour drive, but It is worth it. Lush green mountains, rice fields, and Japanese style buildings will receive you. So, here's the first of three parts of my Kobe adventure.
I was in Kobe last 2015 but only in the city and I’ve never been to its countryside.
The fresher ambiance of Kobe's countryside has brought back the life to us. Rural air is the best.
Hyogo is one of Kobe’s nine wards. It was once the commercial center of Kobe but lost its prominence after world war II. But by some means, it brought back its glory through its lush fruit farms.
Tourists will have their choice on what kind of fruit they want from strawberries to grapes to pears and apple. Hyogo has it. I want grapes so we went to the grape farm.
No words could ever describe the excitement I felt when I finally cut my first grapes hahaha. The man manning the farm is very cheerful too, and even kind enough to lend us extra picnic mats to use.
It's an unlimited time and eat all you can.
FEE: 1000 Yen/adult and 700 Yen for elementary students and kids age 4
You can bring other foods like lunches and snacks and have your picnic under the grapes.
You can also bring your fur babies too which is really heartwarming since our furry babies need some relaxing time too. But make sure that they won't be eating grapes. Coz' grapes are a big NO for dogs.
Visit this fruit farm when you're in Japan
Opening Hours: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Contact Number: 078-961-2650
Address: Hyogo, Kobe, Nishi, Iwaokacho, Daidohoshi, Kandecho, Higashi 1148
You can also visit the official website of Kobe for more travel information:
thank you for visiting feel free to leave your thoughts in the comment box

Hello everyone here’s my first outfit post from Japan. There are so many beautiful places here in Japan. Instant backdrop everywhere the only snag is that the blogger jowa who takes a much better picture isn’t with me. (sigh) Now I’m beginning to feel nostalgic In some way I’m wishing that I could finally end the 90 days vacation here.
Enough of this sentis hahaha, today I wore this Floral Embroidered Flare Sleeve Striped Dress from www.zaful.com
Japan is probably included on every traveler’s travel bucket lists. Can’t blame them Japan and its distinctive cultural and historical heritage is something one has to experience. It is where ancient traditions sync with modern day.
Everywhere you go you’ll be jolted back to history, take a trip to Kyoto, visit Osaka’s castle and temples and you’ll be traveling back in time. From Geisha roaming the streets of Kyoto to Ninjas and samurais in Toei Kyoto Studio Park to Sumo matches one can experience a thousand years traditions.
Globe myBusiness cooks up Restaurant Business Network to boost food firms
September 14, 2017
Globe myBusiness, in partnership with Mercato Centrale, launches Restaurant Business Network, the first restaurant- and café- specific business ecosystem devised to provide relevant services to companies in the food industry.
Business ecosystems are a network of interrelated businesses offering products and services relevant to member companies. Through Restaurant Business Network, restaurant and café owners will be given access to workshops, events, and online materials about the latest trends and development in the food industry. They will also have the opportunity to receive exclusive deals and promos from Globe myBusiness and Mercato Centrale.
If you find yourself strolling along SM City Iloilo Southpoint and craving for the grilled foods. Charcoal boy will surely come in handy.
But What’s in a name? no matter how bizarre a restaurant’s name may sound, there’s a lot more to it. Just like with charcoal boy who is paying homage to the food prep workers behind the delicious grilled foods. Hence, the name Charcoal boy.
I sometimes wonder why of all prints, it’s floral prints that always go hand in hand with summer and beaches. If you were to ask me, it’s also my choice too, though I couldn’t quite understand why.
It’s exactly what happened when I got invited during a press-con of a soon to be opened first sea spa in Iloilo (will blog about it too..soon) location is at the beach and the first outfit that came to my mind is the smocked Tube Top And Slit Floral Wide Leg Pants that I got from www.zaful.com.
With the comfort of the Franco Band song, I’m ultimately getting myself to blog. As they say, “let the music get the creative juices flowing” and yes, I’m listening to Franco song’s “The Closer I Get to You” right now and it’s on repeat mode. It’s simply that I find it very functional when I’m writing a blog hahaha.
The past weeks have been frantic I've been attending to series of events in Iloilo, Flying to Manila and supporting my bf in the recent Philippine tattoo expo – Dutdutan 2017 it's only now that I've found time to catch up with overdue blog posts.
