Earth Hour + Alodia’s Birthday Bash

Written on March 31, 2012 by Liz in Blogging, Outdoor

It was late in the afternoon when my boyfriend and I decided to meet up with his cousin (Geym) and check out the ToyCon at Robinson’s Manila. Unfortunately, it took us so long to prep up and reach his cousin’s place. We also bought some fruits for Geym’s mom which took us some time.

In the end, we all decided to go to SM North Edsa instead of Robinson Manila. While checking out some iPad cases in CyberZone, we happened to see Alodia Gosiengfiao and her fans by the event area. Her birthday bash was already over by the time we came. We managed to take some photos though. Thanks to Geym for adjusting my DSLR manual settings and taking some photos for us.

Next stop was at Toy Kingdom. We just keep fooling around while Geym check out the toys. Then Earth Hour came.

Nothing so special about it except some lighted candles. Lol.

Some lights were still on and we managed to shop for flip flops at the SM department store. We were about to have dinner at Kangaroo Jack just when the restaurant closed. Too bad. We ended up eating at KBOP, Korean resto. I’ll blog about the food @ www.couplestrip.com

That’s it for now!

Having Summer Fun!

Written on March 24, 2012 by Liz in Outdoor

There are lots of things you can do to enjoy this summer. You can go biking, swimming, traveling or even stay at home and play to make the most of your vacation. While kids would love to play and enjoy duncan yo yo, some of us grown ups would prefer hanging out with friends or simply watching movies at home.

As for me, I might go island-hopping with friends. I haven’t prepared my things yet but Ice confirmed that we’ll be going to the Hundred Islands! I’m so excited!
