My New Baby Love

They say good things come to those who wait...

Finally, a Canon EOS-7D with 50mm lens. Yaaay! This is what RM and I had been saving for, our first conjugal property as boyfriend-girlfriend. I long wanted to buy an SLR, but he insisted we save up some more so we could buy a really nice camera. Sooooo, the long wait is over! :)

We haven't really played with the settings yet, these are just some random test shots after we got it. Forgive us, if we don't know how to maximize the cam's full potential, we're still noob at it. Anytime sooner, I'll post some really decent pictures. :)






That's all for now. ~~Eeeeeh, I'm just so happy with our new baby. <3

Bounce Back

Unfortunate circumstances made an emotional mess out of me for the past month. It's easy to put the blame on other people; to that someone who have disappointed me, as well as to those people who haven't trusted my capabilities and determination. But you see, there's no point in doing that anymore.

For when you feel like you're already at the pit bottom, there's no other way but up.

Oh gosh, after all the trouble, I missed the cam-whoring part.


My rising-above-the-storm smile. :)





Meet my stylish boyfriend. He has always been my sweet escape when I'm a mess. Lookey how he's learned the art of fashion shots himself!





Okay, I want to end this post with a smile on my face, and hope and pray that it'll last.



I may cry a gazillion times, but I will never quit. As strong as a lioness.

Shining Shimmering Holidays

First of all, Happy Holidays everyone! :) I hope you had a very merry Christmas with your loved-ones!

In lieu of the glitter trend this season, this is my little tribute to my new baby, gold glitter brogues from Trunk Show. Aren't they adorable? I just love them sooo much: they're comfortable, chic, and most of all, they have glitters!!! Shining shimmering splendid shoes perfect for the season. Thank you Trunk Show, I have always been such a fan. Not only are the styles amazing but the quality of the shoes is also very admirable.

I'm so sorry for the rather blurry shots, we're improvising using my hubby's HTC camera phone 'coz he left my memory card at his laptop. #annoyed

I'm just kidding.


So okay, that face shows the annoyed look. LOL.

But of course, with or without a decent camera, our lovely date must continue. For this occasion, we chose to dine at Dillingers 1903 at Greenbelt 3. I googled the place and found out that it was named after a notorious American bank robber John Dillinger who was born in 1903, hence, the name of the restaurant. Very creative, eh?

I'm quite impressed with the restaurant's facade. It has black, wooden interiors, with intimate lights and a very cozy ambiance. It also features a sleek bar stand with all sorts of alcohol. It's like something you watch in a chick flick, where the guy gets to order a drink for the lady. Haha!


We had to order their bestseller, the Buffalo Wings. I must say, they're a bit spicy and have very strong flavour.

We also had their Pepper Steak which was indeed delectable. I also have to mention the fries, for RM liked them very much. We ordered another plate afterwards.

Cheers! We're not much of a drinker, so RM and I had the Mojito. It's a combination of white rum, lime juice, mint, and sparkling soda water. The drink is refreshingly citrus with a minty flavor, sweet at the same time.

After that, we had the Lemon Drop Shots! It's more of a lemon-flavored candy, but seriously has an oozing aftertaste of alcohol. Oh well, I liked it!

Feeling so homey!

On retouching that pink lipstick... and a mushy couple shot!

Christmas lights at Ayala!

Hello Resorts World Manila!

For the screening of our much anticipated movie, Breaking Dawn, RM and I decided to watch it at Manila's first integrated tourist destination, Resorts World Manila. It is a luxury casino resort across NAIA 3 airport, Pasay, Philippines. It also houses some boutiques, restaurants, and the Newport Cinemas. It's our first time to visit the place and I can say that it is quite nice. The cinema's interior is cozy (it's carpeted with a maroonish theme) and has very comfortable seats. Also, fewer people are accommodated as compared to a typical cinema in the mall, leading to better sound effects. I mean,you can really enjoy the viewing experience if the cinema is not crowded. Okay, too much promotions! We didn't get to try the casino though, maybe next time.

Moving on, outfit posts! These are the leopard print wedges I mentioned in my previous post.

So sorry for the messed up hair. It was totally hot that day! Though I think it matches the outfit, or not.

So this is it! Nice interior, huh! There was also a vintage car show inside.

Some shopping time of course..

Forgive the silly face. I just wish I can live inside the mall.

Aww, he was waiting for me while I was choosing between the beige or black purse I was eyeing.

And now, movie time....!

Thumbs up! This is by far the best in the series. I can't wait for Part 2.

We dined at Sbarro that day...

Chicago White. It's filled with mozzarella, pepperoni, ham, and ricotta.

Supreme Pizza

Baked Ziti with Meat Sauce

Spaghetti with Meat Sauce

To sum it all, the pizza was delicious, but the pasta was epic fail.

(My hunny looks like a korean guy with his thick hair. He needs a haircut. Haha!)

That's all for now. Till my next post.

Love,

Joyce <3
