Festival of Lights - November 19, 2015

Festival of Lights, Ayala Lights and Sounds Show, Ayala Lights Show - whatever they want to call it, it doesn't matter to me. What's important is the beauty that these dancing Christmas Lights can give.


Taken at Ayala Triangle Gardens in Makati last Nov. 19. I was with a friend and we were able to catch the last  lights and sounds show (around 9:30PM).

I so love City Lights and Christmas Christmas Lights as well (sad there's no fireworks display. I love that, too!). They're just beautiful to look at! What more if Christmas Lights add some sparkle and glamour every evening on a busy street during the yuletide season.

Ayala Avenue's also decorated with few more Christmas Lights!


Restaurants at Ayala Triangle Gardens are available (Banapple, Amici, BreadTalk, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, BonChon to name a few) in case you and your friends prefer to have a convo over a cup of coffee or have a delightful dinner while waiting for the lights show to start.

Stroll, dine, or shop as well if you still have ample time before heading to Ayala Triangle Gardens. Landmark, SM Makati, Glorietta, and Greenbelt are just few steps away. Happy Watching! <3 :)

Coco Grove Beach and Dive Resort, Siquijor - Pampering (Luxury) Stay

I was having a second thought if I would say "yes" to this Siquijor trip because the budget's  a bit higher than what I usually allot for my trips - my plane ticket wasn't on seat-sale price and my friends chose a high-end resort because of its excellent reviews and super nice photos. But I must say: No regrets that I agreed to join. That's what I realized after I had my first breakfast at Coco Grove. The place alone made my Siquijor trip  a memorable one.





*3D2N - room for two (we requested for extra bed), with breakfast. Accommodation Budget: around Php 3,500/head - that's for 3 people.

Picturesque sunset. <3
