Oh Malé, Mawldeevs!


Recently, I went on an unplanned trip to Maldives with my travel buddies. It happened so fast and until now I can't effing believe I've been there.

At some antique shop for give-aways in Malé

Anyhoo, it started when I was snoozing and being lazy on my bed. I was sleeping and when I woke up, I got loads of bbm messages from these trip addicts. They found a very cheap flight going there. Usually, it will cost you like AED4,000+ just to fly there. Since Etihad had this promo, they unhesitantly booked tickets!


We stayed there for almost two days. Did some tour the moment we landed. We were surprised that you can tour the whole Malé Island for like 3 hours on barefoot. LOL Nothing to see in there but yeah, we did some arrangements for the following day - island hopping and snorkeling. We thought we could make it into diving but we lack time. We are flying back home after a day! Ugh.

So t'was like: Wednesday - tickets were booked, Thursday - booked the hotel, Friday - off to Male, Saturday - enjoyed the sun, sand and sea, and Sunday - head back home to Sandpit! Just like that.

I just love this pic because of different types of blue in it :)

Peacefully free ME!

Travel buddies :)

*speechless*
 But you know, unplanned things like this are the most enjoyable and memorable moments of life. I actually want to extend and stay like a couple of days more. You can't blame me. Maldives is just A-MAZING! Your jaws will literally drop at its beauty.

Looking forward for my next trip! :)

Pinas Vacay 2012


I finally got a chance to be with my family again for this year. Munchkin's gotten so big.. as in literally BIG! :) This time, everything is planned and it turned out quite well. Kudos to my partner in crime Keti for making my agenda.

Reunited

First two weeks was all about pigging out, Xioms school thing, and meeting with old good friends. Having a 3-hour sleep early in the morning is a satisfaction on my part but times like this happens once in a blue moon so I have nothing to complain.

What made my vacay more interesting and unforgettable was the fact that my Munchkin was recognised as one of the outstanding students at school. It's in the genes man! Hehe.. Seriously, it's one of the most rewarding days of being a parent.

After this two weeks of craziness, it's Boracay time! Mum and I did our assignments you know. We planned this wayyyy back so my vacay will be worth it. Five days at the beach is fun and relaxing!

Overjoyed

So there, my vacation was a blast and I wish I could stay longer. Looking forward for my next homecoming!
