Historical Place of Corregidor

"Spanish lighthouse"

Hi everybody! I've been to lots of trips last month and thanks to my work for giving me those opportunities. To bad I was struck by tonsillitis and flu after attending to different events. But nothing to worry, God is good and now I'm on my recovering stage. To start with, I'm going to share with you one of the historical places I've been, the Corregidor Island, Philippines. Here are some shots I took during the trip.

"Barracks ruins"
Mile Long is the longest military barracks. It was ruined during World War II.

"Gun emplacements". BOOM!

"Bullet was imprint".

"Malinta Tunnel".

There is an audio-visual presentation inside the tunnel where they present the events during the World War II including the departure of Pres. Manuel Quezon and Gen. Douglas MacArthur on submarine from Corregidor to Australia.

"General Douglas MacArthur was there too".

"Philippine Money".
Trivia: Do you know that those money can only be used per designated areas only?

Island of Corregidor is rich with Philippine History that will take me a lot of time to elaborate. I guess the best way is for you to visit the place and experience seeing those historical places.

Have you been to Corregidor or other Historical places in the Philippines?

Outfit Details

Swim wear: Soul Lifestyle ModAudrey Swim Collection

Hat: Department Store

Shades: Tomliz

It's summer once again and we are all excited to go chillax mode where we can sip ice cold drinks, eat fresh fruits while sitting in from of white sand beach wearing a cool hat, nice shades and off course your swim suit that you can only wear once in a year (I guest). I'm going to share with you some tips on what to bring during this trip.

Sunscreen - is a must have every time you go out and meet Mr. Sun. The higher number of SPF the better.

Hat - is one of your best accessories when hitting the beach. It will put a statement on every outfit.

Shades - this will protect your eyes from ray of the sun and this will also help you cover your eyes when you are not wearing a make-up.

Swim wear - choose the right swim wear for your body type to highlight your aspects. If you can't still decide on what type of swim wear to choose, I suggest you visit Soul Lifestyle Store. They have this ModAudrey Swim Collection where you can wear it up to 20 ways. Go check their facebook here.

Camera - this will keep your trip memorable. I'm using Canon EOS 600D and this is my best buddy every time I travel. Just don’t forget to check the battery, SD card and the charger. Go visit Canon website or like their facebook here or here.

Lipstick - you need this so you won't look pale on your photos. I used Everbelena magic lipstick with vitamin E for whole day tint.

Attitude - always bring energetic and positive attitude to enjoy your trip.

I hope these tips will help you.

Vietnam

Last March 2013, I attended company enhancement seminar at Waterfront Insular Hotel. Before the seminar starts we were ask to pick a place where you want to go if given a chance to have a spare time. I choose Bangkok because of the beautiful temple structures, great shopping centers and to know their culture. Travelling is in my list this year and luckily another trip was offered to me by the company I'm working with last April 4 to 8, 2013. So without further ado here are the things I saw during Vietnam trip in Hanoi and Saigon.

1st day I bought Vietnam hat (non la/ leave hat). This is their traditional hat that protects them from sun and rain.

Motorcycle is their mode of transportation.

Even a lady wearing corporate attire/ dress/ skirt type used motorcycle as her mode of transportation. Amazing!

Beautiful temple structure at The Temple of Literature.

Beautiful girl's wearing their traditional clothes while filming a video.

Inside The Temple of Literature.

While taking some photo I saw this girl hair style that triggered me to take her a shot. Nice hair style isn't it?

Watched Traditional Water Puppet Show at Thang Long Theater.

They love flowers and so do I. I wonder if they change the water from time to time para iwas dengue. *toink!

The Reunification Palace (Independence Palace).

One of the rooms inside the palace of the President.

Cool vintage phone in pastel colors. Kikay din pala sila noon?! Cute! =)

I don't know what they call it but the water tiles design look nice. They also have different designs in their streets walls too.

Saigon Central Post Office.

If you stare at it you will notice the gothic architectural style that was designed and constructed by the famous architect Gustave Eiffel.

When I was inside, 1st thing that goes in my mind was the place is perfect for recording a flash mob. hehehe! =)

Beside the Central Post Office is The Notre Dame Cathedral. The official Basilica of Our Lady of The Immaculate Conception. About 190 feet long with two bell towers.
