My Simply Desires Bucket list

I believe it's not only me who thinks of doing things - at least before they die. Some may have written those things as a list of some sort? Maybe. ;) Some may even be kept in a diary or a journal. Some call it their wishlist too.

The title for this post probably gives off the main topic, so I won't be elaborating on that. I think you peeps already know what a bucket list is. :) If you don't, Google it! Kidding. It's usually a bunch of things you want to do in your life. Well, something like that, however I also believe that bucket lists can mean something else. That depends on the person who's writing it. :D

I will listing some of the things I'd love to happen in my life. Some are merely wishes. Don't judge me. I'm also a person. :P Please read? Hope you enjoy! :))

NOTE: Things listed below are not in order.

1. Go on a cruise.
2. Get an iPhone.
3. Have the perfect iPhone &/or iTouch cases.
4. See a concert.
5. Go to a drive in movie.

Watching a movie? Uh.. I don't think so..

Hi guys! I'm back! :D

Ok! Today I was supposed to watch The Big Wedding with my sister, Grana, and cousins. We were all at the mall waiting for our tickets to be accepted when the lady asked my sister how old she was. She replied saying she was 12 and then the lady went on blabbering on how she isn't allowed to watch due to the movie being rated as R-13.

So, instead of watching the movie, I talked to my cousins saying that I'd rather walk around than watch. It's a good thing that they allowed us two to be alone. :)

We spent about an hour at National Bookstore. Hahahaha. I was looking through books until my legs were exhausted to me and my sis sat down on the floor for a while. Just when we were getting comfortable, this lady guard approaches us saying that we aren't allowed to sit on the floor! Geez! I wasn't even sitting for 5 minutes! I hated that lady. -_- Lol

Then, I decided to let my sister browse through what she wanted to look at at the accessories station because she stayed long enough with me. We spent the next 30 minutes looking through necklaces, shades, pins, when I came across this really nice boho headpiece which I wanted to buy. It cost 75 PHP if I'm not mistaken but I didn't want to use the money given to us because they weren't mine.

We ended up getting nothing, watching nothing, and having tired legs. Lol. But, I did have a bit fun. I'm incredibly thankful to God for letting me have this opportunity to bond with my sister. I mean, we didn't even fight! Like, wow! XD

I want to say thanks if you've taken the time to read this useless rant. That really mean's a lot. ^_^

Feel free to comment below! :D

'Til next time!

CONNECT WITH ME! :D

This might seem highly useless, but I really do want to connect with you guys. Some may be subscribed to my feed, some may not. Most of you might not even want to bother clicking on the widgets on the side. Soooooo.... I will be listing my other profiles wherein most of you can maybe see more from me. Yaaay! :))

WARNING: I may have a lot of accounts. LOL. Kidding.

Although, I may not seem to be online, I do use these accounts. I wouldn't be sharing them if I didn't. I don't post as much, because that depends on my time and mood. So please don't be mad at me. Send me messages, ok. I will reply to you. BUT. If ever you do talk about things that are inappropriate or mean things and such, I won't be answering. Keep that in mind. I know I kinda sound mean, however, I believe things would be better that way.

Road trips! And probably a little more. :)

Travelling to places has always been fun for me. There could be things you don't see everyday. Unique infrastructures and/or green sceneries plastered all around are the usual reasons people go to places. I guess that applies for me too, however, I also do like learning more about the place.

Travelling, in a vehicle, that takes up more time than usual, I consider that a road trip. Road trips can be ridiculously fun once the mood is set up - meaning, no tension among the people inside the vehicle, no conflicts are found between each other, everyone can either have peace or talk together and do stuff together for fun, and many more. I'll leave the rest for you guys to interpret. ;)

I've had two road trips recently last week and today.

Last week, was due to an appointment to my dentist's clinic with my sister. The trip going to the clinic was exceptionally peaceful and careful, as to me being quiet and thinking of what to say. For the first time in my life, I've learned to admire lightning. It's usually those blink-and-miss-it moments, and I find that truly amazing.

Today was much more productive. I've left the house to have gone to Tagaytay at 8 A.M. and got home at around 4:20 P.M. Breakfast was a bit heavy, but nonetheless really good. :)

I also got to feed fish today at Solenad? I'm not quite sure of the place. I seem to have forgotten alredy, forgive me. A pack of fish food costs 50PHP, which I think is quite pricey for a small pack full of small pellets. I pity the fish though. They seem like they haven't eaten anything; they really fight for food. The fish were too much, looking at them can be a little disgusting now. LOL

Anyways, I didn't enjoy much today but it was still fun. I believe that everything has its pros and cons, making them memorable and useful, I guess, at the same time.

NOTE: Pictures below are taken by me. They aren't much though. I didn't like the other shots. :D

I caught sight of the word on the brick and thought of taking a shot. I was bored. XD

Saw this Ferris wheel on the way to the Taal Vista Hotel. I love the scene. I think it describes a dream of some sort. :D Don't mind the thing on the lower right. I took that shot in a car. Hahaha. 

I like how I post-producted this shot. I think the picture holds so much drama.

I apologize for my eye. And I am aware that I look horrible here. Forgive my sister. She decided to lean over to see the view more at the time I was taking a selfie. XD 

Outfit of the day and of the night! :)

I saw this Porsche while walking and stopped dead on my tracks. It's so mesmerizing! Ugh. 

Til next time,

Jess! :D

Highlights of the Night

The main thing that I've done today was eating out with my family. Why, it's because of my cousin's birthday.

We went to Manila Hotel to do so. Highlights of the night simply features things that got my attention this evening. I apologize for some of the photos. They aren't super clear, I only used an iPad Mini to capture them, so bear with me on that. 

Let's get started then! :D

First of, I like how the logo was designed. I guess that's because personally, I ain't a very creative person myself.

I like how the light from the candle at the back generates a soft glow. :)

The diminutive water droplets just caught my attention too much. Lol.

Cutie patootie plants :D

Shadow!

<3 the glass on the table.

The piano has been a large thing to me, as to playing it since I
was little. The man playing the piano was really good. I hope to
play like him one day and make loads of people happy. :D

The bubbles from the Jacuzzi just left me mesmerized. They
were hard to capture cuz they were moving. I finished the
shot with the frame of erupting water. :D 

The two paintings that rendered me speechless. :)

                                               

Sorry peeps. This post must've been boring. Well, I was bored awhile ago too. Please comment below on what kind of stuff you want to be reading so that I'll know what to blog about next time. Luv ya guys!

Til next time,

Jess xoxo

Summer's Been...

It's summer here in the Philippines and I apologize for not being able to blog. I have been away from my lappy for a long time. (sigh) Well, I'm back now! Yay me! Kidding. :)

I do hope that no one got offended at the last blog post...

First of all, summer has been exciting. Summer is probably the most awaited time of the year by most people. It's pretty obvious why - that's cuz summer is the time of the year where most galas, shopping sprees, going abroad, and a lot of other things happen. Honestly, I was one of those in hopes of going abroad this time due to the intense heat here in the Philippines! Some people might even think that wearing jeans can kill. Well, that may be a bit too much but I think you get my point. ;)

I was excited, thinking about all the possibilities of things that could happen this summer. But then, tragedy happened. My grandmother was attack by stroke and the right side of her body became paralyzed. It's a pretty good thing that she still lives! Hallelujah! She had to stay at home, which meant, I needed to stay with her.

Second, summer has been unproductive. Grana (what I call my grandmother) can hardly walk properly, so we don't go out much. Mom is always busy with work and comes home tired. We've got no driver. I guess I can say, I'm pretty much stuck at home. Hahaha! I think I've been doing daily routines. :O However, I still believe I find joy in what I'm doing.

Lastly, summer has been fun. Going out may not happen much which leads to buying lots of stuff whenever we go out. Mom would scold us because of that. Oh joy! (Sense the sarcasm there.) Spending time with Grana has also been a fun. She can be real funny. Her Tagalog and English isn't as good due to growing up in China. I believe my Grana looks cute without her teeth. Lol. Little moments like me catching her snooze then she denies it, and her having to repeat words a lot of times to correct her pronunciation leads to laughing.

I think the best part of my summer so far is getting to buy things online and meeting new people. :) I've found joy in reading books since I was little but then sometimes I get lazy having to carry my phone, my iTouch, the lappy, and other things for instance and also my book. I thought that having e-books will become more worth it, for I no longer need to carry a lot of things.

I found this store on Instagram that sold e-books for 10 PHP each! That's like really really cheap already! Diane, the owner of the shop, has been very nice to even answer my questions even though it was late at night. The transaction goes really smoothly and I love Ebooks Nation for that! Check her out and maybe find books of your liking! http://instagram.com/ebooksnation and http://www.facebook.com/ebooksnation will lead you to some of the books she sells. I availed her promo of getting 20 books and 7 more free books of my choice. Because of the promo, I decided to get books for not only me, but also for my mom, Grana, and sister. :D

Here's a screenshot of the books I got from Ebooks Nation. :)

I even got 13 free e-books which was supposed to be just 10 from The Ultimate Bibliophile for adding her and following her on IG. Janica, is extremely nice and very easy to talk to. :) It's as if adding 3 additional books wasn't enough yet, she decided to give e-books for free! 

Here's what I got from her at first. I wasn't able to get a screenshot of the others.

Last but not least, I also got this  11" Satchel Green-Tan Combi from Shop In A Click, who is a legit seller, and not only that. THEY DO SHIP WORLDWIDE! Awesome right? :) Here are the links to their accounts: http://instagram.com/shopinaclick and https://www.facebook.com/shopinaclick. I've had a speedy transaction with them and I dig that. I've attached a picture of the bag I bought below and may I apologize for the color. I adjusted the exposure of the camera to make it look better but I noticed that I altered the color a bit. Oh well.

Ta-daaaaa! My new cute and chic satcheeeel! Yaaaaay!

Oh! And I got new glasses. Hihihi! BTW, do they look good? :)

Don't be afraid to leave comments! I like getting to know my readers.

Til next time,

Jess xx
