White Beaches of Pagbilao, Quezon

My mom’s town in Quezon has pretty interesting beach located in Pagbilao, Quezon. Mom has been telling me about it but I somehow ignored it because I can’t believe that such white sand beach ever exist just a few provinces from where I live. Pagbilao, Quezon is just a paradise of the North!

Just a little bit of trivia, the largest powerplant in the Philippines was actually established and created in Pagbilao, Quezon. The Department of Tourism considers this place as a money-generating spot for tourism. Why go to the Aklan to appreciate the pristine white sand beach of Boracay when you can visit Pagbilao, Quezon if you’re looking for white sand beach?

The Fashion Swap: A Success

It was a huge honor to be part of this first ever fashion swap that ever happened in the Philipppines. Through the help Jamie, a friend at work, I was able to participate in this event and got the chance to brush shoulders with fashion enthusiasts and celebrities in Makati.

We were supposed to arrive at the event prior its opening time of 2 PM but because we have to buy something to wear during the event, we were almost late for an hour. Nevertheless, it was fun and I have to admit that I am looking forward for another fashion swap in Makati.

The Fashion Swap is organized by The Rockwell Club and Fashion Group International. It works by finding some stuffs in your closet that you’d like to trade with other swappers. The item should be in good condition and has some sort of “style”. Each item are given corresponding points based on a certain criteria. Your overall points determines your ability to shop for items during the event date. Absolutely no money involved (well at least you have to pay for the ticket which will serve as an entrance fee).

Let me share some of the pictures I took during the event. I’ll post more pictures as soon as I get copies from our fellow crews who were tasked to take pictures.

Able Yet Disable: The Wonderful Castle Builder

When I was in Boracay, I saw this physically challenged man building sand castles on the shore.  In fact, he’s not alone. There are a lot of sand castle builders in Bora. These people builds wonderful sand castles in exchange of people’s donations while they take pictures with the sand castles.

Its saddens me when I see someone so talented but physically challenged. But then again, it helps me realize that they they managed to rise despite of their disadvantages and championing what is rightful and human while in the  midst of personal calamities. These people are great. Noble, indeed.

My Sister April and Her Daughter Avril

We were out last night with my mom and my sister April with her 3 year old daughter Avril, and two nephews Glenn and Kevin for a dinner at McDonalds. We had a great time. I took a few pictures and thought of posting some in here just so you would know how my sister and her baby looks like.

My niece and nephews enjoyed the dinner at McDonalds. The fastfood resto has a playground inside and this has added up to the overall enjoyment of the kids. I am starting to get envious that my siblings are starting to see their kids grow up…

Perfect Picture (Almost!)

This picture is almost perfect. The only problem is that, it was taken while my eyes are closed. Too bad. It was taken during Mr. Armand and Inna Llanillo’s wedding.
