2014 with a Bang :)

Can't believe 2014 is about to end!

Thank you Lord for a wonderful year, I never expect all your surprises for me!

Through ups and down, you're always there! 

“In the day when I cried out, You answered me, and made me bold with strength in my soul.” - Psalm 138:3

THANK YOU 2014

HELLO 2015

 Welcoming 2015 in 6 days! 

Rewarding Moment: Thank You Mrs. Fields Philippines!

I never thought to win in a contest online.

I don't usually join raffle and contest like this, 

but Mrs. Fields's rewarding moment caught my attention.

One morning, while browsing instagram,

I saw their post on how do you reward yourself.

So I pause for a while and think, hmmm, and ask myself.

have I ever reward myself after all those stress that I encounter everyday?

so, I read the mechanics and immediately repost and answer their question

(check my answer, see below)

Well, stressful industry? haha I guess, coz I worked on an engineering company from Mondays to Fridays, working 8 hours a day or more if I need too.

Then at night during weekdays and whole day of  weekends, 

It's time for my other works: a newbie photographer, event stylist, event planner, host, ETC.

So who's in a stressful industry now?  

and after few days, I saw this post from Mrs. Fields PH.

I won! They told me to claim my price! Merci!

yey! and I got my Assorted Chocolate Mrs. Fields Cookies at SM, The Block Branch of Mrs. Fields

Caution: Drooool!

Mouthwatering Cookies

Photos by yours truly :)

#MauriciaLakwatsera: Postcards from Kalibo

I really love staying in a province, 

but I never tried living in a province.

I was a typical Manila Girl. 

Born and Grew up in the Big city.

I tried visiting different provinces from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

It's very new to me when I get to experience waking up in the morning by the cuckoo of the roster, having a coffee while sitting under the trees, riding a carabao, walking on the fields with mud everywhere, fresh air, fresh fruits, seafoods overload and very warm welcome from the locals.

This is what I really miss! 

This little sanctuary!

This place is called Bay-Ang.

Take a peek at this lovely place

Simple Movie Review: The Fault In Our Stars #TFIOS

 "I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you.” 

-Augustus Waters

“Some infinities are bigger than other infinities.” 

-Hazel Grace

These are the lines that really remarks #TFIOS for me.
Book or even on the Movie!

Clap, Clap to John Green!

The movie is really nice and the cast: 

Shailene Woodley as Hazel Grace and Ansel Elgort as Augustus Waters 

did very well in portraying the role of the star crossed lovers!

Here are some of the favorite scene on the Movie

Date night at Amsterdam 

Picnic at Funky Bone Park, so sweeet!

Oh spreading love of each other!

 One Great Movie! Truly one of the greatest love story of all time. Their love is timeless, unconditional and unselective. It just come out naturally. If you love the person, you show it and scream to the entire world. Who knows if it is the last moment of your life together so enjoy every moment of it. Also, you should build your own infinities. Gus and Hazel Grace maybe deadly sick but the their love for each other makes them healthier. They maybe just a character in a book, but I know there are gus and hazel grace out there. 

Searching for their own inifinity.

Can someone also give me my own forever and infinity? Okay.

Okay? OKAY.

#MauriciaLakwatsera Goes to Pagudpud (2012)

Just want to share our travel at North! :)

say hi to my sister from another mother: Lala and Enah

My best of friends! 

Oh I Miss Pagudpud!

See you soon paradise!

Nature Tripping at the Heart of Davao? Visit GAP! :)

Nature Trip in the city?  GAP Farming Resort

GAP FARMING RESORT, DAVAO CITY, PHILIPPINES.

A new place to unwind and enjoy the beautiful scenery of nature with an educational twist!

LAND of PROMISE, Holla!

I can’t stop from snapping photos during my tour around the place. Maybe it’s a blessing in disguise that our flight was cancelled in Cagayan due to bad weather, and rebooked it in Davao. We need to travel for 10 long hours just to catch our flight the following day. Flight was scheduled in the afternoon so we have a free time in the morning to visit the place. So I thought of GAP, my friends could get to experience GAP’s beauty, Thank God for a bright sunny day.

Upon entering the place, you can see a big farmer riding a carabao. Say cheese. Picture time! then, traditional folk song serenading the place. My friends can’t help their smartphones from capturing the places. There’s a huge imprint of the phrase “Land of Promise” at the resort turf, and you can see it while you’re on a plane.

It’s like going to a theme park, just scratch the rides. hehe! But they do have horseback riding and cangga ride. My friend, Marrielle experienced her first Horseback riding in Gap. Kuya Manong is very kind as well as the other staff of the resort.

 We saw a big pool too, so if you want to splash some fun under the sun? You can take a dip on their huge pool. Also, they have a kiddie pool for kiddos and kid’s at heart haha

We were like kids running around the place, and for kids they will learn a lot from this place, different kinds of animals, Philippine History, Past Philippine Presidents, Filipino Ancestors and even Philippine Folklore like Juan Tamad, Aswang, Kapre and many more. One of the places that I really like in here is the Japanese cave, with a giant cyclop inside.

Greenery in the heart of the Davao City, the place has a numerous trees and plants around the place. Find a perfect spot under the tree, chill and breathe fresh air, things that you can’t do in Manila. Perfect place for picnic and bonding with your family, and for my friends a perfect place to take some good photos and #SELFIE! Hehe!

Worry to spend too much in this place? na-ah ah. Entrance fee is very affordable around 40 pesos, and I’m sure that the other activity at GAP is within a reasonable price.

Furthermore, I suggest this place for school trip and company outings too. 

Sounds exciting? Try to visit GAP Farming!  A perfect place to relax and learn at the same time.

It’s more fun with GAP Orchard Resort. Thank you for making our short stay at Davao worthwhile!
