Christmas Village

Late share of my photo diary and probably my last getaway for this year. Again for the 3rd time, I had an amazing vacay in Baguio and this time it's very different (Thank you Daisy for inviting me on your Pre-Birthday celebration. Love yaa! :)). I felt complete bliss and though some memories of my past still lingers here, dealing was just so easy. For the first time in a long time, I get to ride on a bike which reminds me of how free I am like a kid and just do whatever I want. The city tours were splendid, food trips were superb and cold nights were filled with laughter. The Christmas Village moments really captured my heart and soul; everything around me is beyond beautiful and new memories started to quash the past. My stay here made me realize a lot of things, again -- true people in my life, appreciation of the now, healing wounds and letting go of what I cannot control. This time I'm choosing happiness.

Sharing my under 19 degrees OOTDs too. Haha! :) few more days before Christmas and hello 2017 still I have 2 backlogs post. Stay tuned! xoxo.

SUMMER 2016: CAGBALETE PHOTO DIARY

I know for most people it's already goodbye Summer but for me, it just started last weekend. I never had any beach trips since the scorching hot season began and I don't know why or maybe I know why but I'll me just keep it to myself. Hehe. So, I'm kinda deprived of going somewhere to do the "soul search" thingy until one of my barkada asked me to join their Cagbalete getaway. Yes! I'm sharing my much needed escape from the noise and stress of the city life.

Cagbalete Island

OOTD by the beach Day 1 wearing my summer-inspired DIY top, "wolverine"-like shorts (because it's super ripped) haha! & Havs.

How I wish I can just chill here, forever.

Me time before 6pm.

OOTD by the beach Day 2 wearing crochet crop top, black cross bandeau, maong shorts and white baseball cap (fave!!!) from caia the label :) 

Black Bikini when in doubt.

Summer Tropics

Catch me by the sea moment.

What's the best part of this getaway? I finally learned how to float! Yaaasss! (I know it sounds funny) but for me it's fulfilling because after several attempts of trying to achieve it, I was able do it -- all by myself. Isn't it amazing? Haha. I hope you're all having a great Summer because I am though I'm so nerga. Huhu. But I don't mind as long as I'm enjoying what I'm doing. Now, I'm thinking of where to next? Stay tuned!

More photos are on my Instagram account @yssamaunay or search the #yssatravels hashtag but some photos there are not me or taken by me. xoxo.
