SkimChix - island life

Every time I went out with my bestfriend our restaurant destination is always Moon Cafe, first was their branch in Ayala and then at Parkmall, maybe on our next day would be at their IT Park branch.

I love their food, they serve Mexican food like nachos, quesidillas and chimichangas. They got big servings and the price is affordable. I can also consider their food healthier than other restaurants, due to a lot of veggies added to their dishes.

So if you're in the mood for Mexican or a healthier food that's light in the stomach and on the budget, then this is the place to be.

I have always dreamed of having my own house with some space for a lawn. I love to be surrounded by greens and some space for my future kids to play. I have started planning on both the interiors and exteriors of the house and have been looking for great designs.

One of the things that I like would like to have is a window box outside my kitchen window, over looking at the kids playing in the lawn. Such a refreshing appeal on my kitchen while I'm cooking, isn't it?

I love to plant it with tropical flowers of vibrant shades of yellow and lots of greens to go with it. The window box would look good in white and just below the kitchen window. Now I'm getting so excited to order some of these but not just yet. Let me wake up from this wonderful dream and start working for my goal.

Summer has started and its time to flaunt our curves hidden behind our everyday jeans and tank tops. Their are some who are not comfortable wearing swimsuits or with their bodies, but its time to get out of our shells, at least we have an excuse, because its summer!

One technique of wearing swimsuits is to be comfortable with our own body. I don't have a perfect 6 pack abs body, but I am comfortable with it. I also try my best to keep my body fit by getting into sports, running and boxing.

I enjoy boxing the most, especially if I want to trim some fats the soonest time possible. I used to box at Metrosports with an annual few of approximately Php 7000, relatively cheaper compared to other boxing stadium in the city. But due to time constrains and the accessibility of the place, I have to discontinue my membership with Metrosports and started boxing at Abellana sports Center with a Php 50 per session. It may not have the complete equipment for boxing but at least I still get to practice the skills I've learned, at my most convenient time.

Boxing, ease away my stress and at the same time fuels my competitive side. Its a satisfying feeling to survive 5 rounds of sparing and some more rounds of abs exercise.

That's how I keep my body fit and hopefully you'll be able to find the sports right for you.

Wearing sunglasses has been a fad both for young and old. I myself could not go outside the house without bringing my sunglasses, but in contrary to wearing it for fashion, i know the benefits of wearing one, and this I'd like to share with you.

We all know that UV rays is not only damaging to our skin but also to our eyes as well especially to the cornea that is integral to one's sight. The eyes is also considered as one of the sensitive areas and our body and this is usually where the first signs of aging occurs, at the eyes and the area around it. Thus wearing sunglasses can help in preventing wrinkle formation around the eyes and the surrounding skin.

As an added benefit it also protects us from dirt, wind, glare and other external agents especially for motorbike drivers and cyclist. And it is a good way of concealing our big eye bugs after late night partying.

Just some cautions in buying sunglasses is to refrain from purchasing low quality lens that is also detrimental to the eyes. It is best to shell out a few extra bucks for eye protection.

I have always believed that we are here in this life to enjoy the beautiful creations of our creator. My best friend once told me that there is no other person who is passionate about living and experiencing life than me, and I believe her. I have never stopped from discovering the magnificent beauty of the Philippine Island.

Aside from exploring the beauty that nature has to offer, I have also learned to love and experience extreme adventures first hand. But wait, before we jump to such extreme activities, let us bare in mind the risk that it takes. That's why it is best to get a life insurance for emergency and for the future.

It is best to have a universal insurance while we are still young. Especially at this age, that we are very impulsive to the adventures that is set in front of us. I have bought an insurance after I got work, knowing that it's cheaper when you bought it at a younger age and at the same time, accidents do come unannounced. I don't mind buying another best rate insurance because I know it will be used when I need it the most.

It gives me peace of mind every time I travel or if I engage myself to such extreme sports.

One hundred seventeen kilometers south of Cebu City is the serene town of Alegria. I have read that there are a lot of outdoor activities that can be done in this 4th class municipality, unfortunately when I visited the town it was only at Batong Malunhaw.

Batong Malunhaw is a Local Goverment unit operated beach resort, which has a pool and white pristine beach. I got to know that infront this beach resort is a fish sanctuary protected by both the LGU and DENR.

When we visited the place, it was windy and cold, so I wasn't able to get the chance to enjoy the white beach and the fish sanctuary. Though I look forward to visiting the place again someday with less winds. But we were still able to enjoy the serenity of the place.

Their rooms range from 1000 to 1500 and bringing of foods is advisable. And even its infront a fish sanctuary they don't have snorkeling gears for rent, so its better to bring your own. Someday I'll revisit the place and enjoy the corals and the fishes.

Last March 27, 2010, at 8:30 in the evening Ayala Center Cebu joined the world in celebrating Earth Hour by turning off their lights. I was there to witness the event and to take pictures of the place with lights off.

Special thanks to a friend who invited me to join there group, CebuPhoto.Org, in witnessing this activity.
