Raellarina - Philippines Best Blog (Interior Design & Lifestyle): Photo Diary

Baguio is the summer capital of the Philippines. Located in Northern Luzon, its cool temperature is a great escape from Manila's sweltering heat.

Last March 10, 2018, I went on a day tour / road trip to Baguio City with my brother, my mom, and her friends! We rented a Van for a day and we were able to explore 12 spots in Baguio City in less than 24 hours!

Sharing with you my travel diary and our Baguio day tour itinerary:

Here's a travel visual diary of the activities I experienced at Phillip's Sanctuary. Since I stayed overnight at Villa Elisha, I had an access to try out a few facilities such as their obstacle course and their zipline!

I had so much fun at this eco-adventure mountain resort because I can't figure out if I have a fear of heights or if it was just a matter of the situation I am in. Because when I did a construction site visit once, I was extremely scared and my legs were wobbling when I was walking pass the really narrow 1 foot concrete pavement to reach the 2nd floor, no harness and all, no railings yet on the staircase, just a piping or something to hold on to as means of support. So my butt was really twisting that moment. hahaha. However though, trying out the high ropes at Phillip's Sanctuary was really fun and I enjoyed it a lot!

Inspired by the abilities of truly amazing artists, I didn't want to miss iART FEST MANILA so I somehow managed to juggle work and social life yesterday, July 22, 2017, Saturday. It was actually the event's last day and due to unforeseen construction life circumstances, installation got delayed thus I need to be at the construction site on Saturday, instead of the installation being done on Friday! Apparently, everything worked out as I just dropped by at the site then went straight to the Art Fest after lunch!

I'm definitely glad that I still pushed through with Art Fest as the artist in me got really inspired and motivated! Actually planning to finish this painting after this blog post. :)

Let me start this post by saying that this is so outdated as I have more lipstick shades now but these photos are too cute to not post. Anyhow, I might do a part 2 to share more shades that I am currently loving.

Anyway, if other women are into makeup, I'm more into the "I-don't-care-about-other-make-up-products-I-just-love-lip-products-so-much!". That said, allow me to share some of my favorite lipsticks I use daily. I usually mix these shades though.

As a potterhead, collecting Harry Potter stuff and memorabilia isn't really my thing, I mean, if you compare it to the way I collect David Archuleta and 5SOS Merch, I don't always go for HP stuff even though I want to. That's just how it is. But last year (or was it 2 years ago?), I bought this Marauder's Map Mug from an Instagram Account which I actually forgot. Sorry about that, I tried looking for it though. I even tried looking in my pile of receipts but it wasn't there. But I found another one online that is color changing. You can have a look on this Harry Potter Marauder's Map Morphing Color Changing Mug. So anyway, I just wanted to quickly show how fantastic and cool this mug is! =)
