{ LAIDBACK }

Looking at these photos from our short Moalboal trip makes me wish every week is a long weekend. August is blessed with four holidays all of which were luckily added to three of the four weekends. I guess I was just spoiled a  bit. Now it makes me sad that this weekend will be the last of that holiday. I will miss  this luxury of chill out time. :(

This was what I wore en route to Moalboal. Comfort and functionality should always be one's utmost priority when traveling. And with the surge of hot weather in Cebu, denim cut-offs is the way to go.  

Biggest bang for my buck: Kimono cover-up which I thrifted in Carbon a few months back.

Cute and fun accessories to keep up with the colorful and laidback vibe of the outfit. 

I used to have skinny legs back in college and wearing shorts was my biggest fashion frustration. Chicken legs leave an awkward gap in between legs and I hated that. So when I started to develop "healthy ones", I remember this is the first pair of shorts I used and abused. And yey they still fit me up to now although they're a little tight already on the midsection part. Someone needs to burn those excess calories asap. haha

I think Moalboal is the most accessible white sand beach outside of Metro Cebu. So it's our go-to place whenever we want a taste of the sand and sea. There are also a lot of interesting pit stops along the way (another reason why we love going back to this place :)) and one of this is the Molave Milk Station. Their homemade ice cream with goat's milk is so hard to resist we always make it a point to drop by.

There came a time in our lives wherein me and my boyfriend went on a beach trip like every month. He was in the call center industry then but we  managed to squeeze in beach outings into his erratic schedule. He is his own boss now but somehow we always get buried in neck-deep work that even a simple movie date is impossible at times. But my constant prodding paid off during the long weekend coz he finally agreed to take two days off to take me to my happy place.

Long holidays would always equate to crowded beaches (which I really hate)but I couldn't complain. Because it's enough I think that I get to feel the sand on my toes again, stare and daydream into the unobstructed horizon  and be devoid of all the stresses and pressures of work even for a mere two days. 

Can somebody inject reason into other people's minds so they'll realize bikinis are beach-appropriate. No need to stare please.  

I was aiming for the paparazzi shot but it turned out I looked more like a Seiko 90's sexy star. hahaha Think Gretchen Barretto during her wet look days. Sobrang ambisyosa lang ba? Cge na nga Priscilla Almeda nalang (aka Abby Viduya). hahaha

During my Multiply days, my albums were plagued with pictures of me and the boyfriend taken at an arms length. I also went through a phase of posting vanity shots of just me, myself, and I (the album being titled that way too. haha I know guilty din kayo dyan.) I seldom have those shots anymore because a DSLR  is just too heavy lug around. I kinda missed it so I borrowed my sister's trusty point and shoot so that me and the boyf could have those mushy photos again. haha
