Best of 2015!

This year has gone by oh-so-quickly!  I can't believe another year is coming to an end.  It has been another year full of ups and downs, but nevertheless, a wonderful adventure!  Once again, I'm thankful for everything I've been given.

Empire State of Mind -- I wish!

Seeing the replica of the Statue of Liberty reminded me of NYC in an instant.  Made me reminisce about the big apple all over again and the adventures I had last year.  Here's wishing that Carlos and I will travel to farther places sometime soon! For now, we can only dream. 

Tokyo Tower

The Tokyo Tower, stands proud as it shows off its yellow glow.  Seeing it put a big smile on our faces as we've been wanting to see it for as long as we can remember.  Despite the drizzle and the cost of going there, I'm glad we saw it.  Definitely a wonderful representation of the capital of Japan.

Next Stop: Tokyo -- Day 4

Kyoto -- Day 3

The Fushimi Inari Shrine was on our list because we've been seeing pictures of it on travel pages, bloggers' feeds and so on.  Therefore, the moment we stepped foot in Japan, I immediately told Carlos that we HAD to go to Kyoto no matter what.  Lucky for us, Osaka and Kyoto are not far from each other.

USJ Photo Diary -- Day 2

Universal Studios Japan -- Day 2

I've been slacking on my blog posts again and I must apologize because I've been enjoying life to the fullest!  With that being said, I just got back from Bangkok with my childhood friends and I can't wait to share our photos here.  I'll try to blog about it as soon as I'm done with Japan.

Exploring the city in Plains & Prints -- Day 1

"The World is yours to Explore"

There's something about being in a different country or a city that makes me feel alive and ready for new experiences.  With that being said, I woke up early on the first day despite the fact that we've only arrived the day before and were dead tired from our trip.  However, I honestly felt like we had no time to lose if we wanted to see everything that was on our itinerary.  Not to mention, we did not know the language (although Carlos knows the basics) so starting early was a MUST for us.

Touchdown Osaka!

I never thought that I would be able to set foot in Japan because for starters, we had another destination in mind.  However, God made it possible for us to travel to one of the world's most spectacular countries in Asia and we couldn't have made a wiser choice.

It's May!

Hello there wonderful people!  How's May treating you?  Mine's been pretty great except for the fact that I've been suffering from a bad cold/cough since Labour Day, so it's been a week now.  I'm not sure if it has something to do with the weather in Macau and the sudden changes in temperature (rain=windy/chilly; sunny=scorching hot).  Oh well, I should be used to it by now, but apparently my body isn't.  Moving on, I initially thought of posting this during Labour Day weekend but did not get the chance to do so.  I even thought of posting my "MAY Goals", but I never got around to doing it.  Instead, I'm sharing my photos I took in April with my phone.  It was a wonderful month, as it was mostly about food!  (Food=Wonderful life) 

Post-birthday adventure ♥

Hiiiii everyone! :)  The week is almost over once again and I couldn't be more psyched because that's when I get to do a bunch of stuff that isn't work-related.

Bali -- Day 3

Aston Ungasan Hotel

Bali -- Day 2

Bali -- Day 1

Our first day in Bali got us all really excited and ready to explore the island.  The day seemed very promising from the moment we woke up.  Everything was perfect!  Of course my definition of perfect would be clear, blue skies and Mr. Sun coming out to play.  We didn't get to have breakfast in the morning since we woke up a tad bit late just in time for brunch.  Little did we know that we were headed to one of Bali's popular restaurants.  

Off to Bali

I've been trying to save this post up for times like these.  Oh how I long to be hopping from airport to airport at this time of the year and be somewhere else other than Macau.  The weather here as of now is just plain "ugh".  First of all, there's the thick fog in the mornings where buildings are not visible.  The grounds are wet and the humidity is just not growing on me.  I've been trying my best not to let the weather get to me, but there are times when I just can't help myself from being like this.

I wish the sun would come out already and the skies would clear up.  I'd really love to see that light shade of blue in the sky again.

Anyway, the photos above were taken en route to Bali and I can't tell you how excited I was to get on the plane.  In fact, I'm looking forward to the day when I'll be able to step foot on a plane again, just because flying is fun.  Aaaah the joys of travelling!  Honestly, it's what makes life interesting for me and it's what keeps me motivated.  The thought of being able to see the world bit by bit is something I would work for.

Question of the day:  What keeps you motivated?
