Travel Therapy

It's weekend! yehey! I have so many things to do. I'm still not yet done organizing our photos from our last trip and the house is a mess! LOL I'm still in vacation mode and not in the mood the fix our things. Our luggage is still unpacked and the laundry is filled up LOL I need to fix things mess before my husband gets home from work or else he will be upset LOL

Our first day in LA was pretty good! We're supposed to go to San Diego but since we woke up late we just changed the plan and went to Redondo and Sta. Monica beach instead. It was a sunny day but still kinda cold. There was a lot of people at Redondo beach. I tried to dip my feet into the water but it was so cold. I was wondering how come they could swim in the cold water and the air was cold too! It was funny because I was wearing my light jacket while most of the people there was wearing summer clothes and swimsuits LOL 

We're here in Los Angeles California!:) We flew from Sanfo to LA via Virgin Airlines last saturday. The trip was irritating, almost all of the airlines were charging $15 for a baggage and the plane is cute but that's it! My ear and my husband's ears were aching... I think the plane was too small to fly so high.... Thank God we arrived safely! 

I'm going to meet my online friends Glo and Trin in the airport :) I'm so excited to meet Trin and to be with Glo (again! We've met last monday but for a few hours only. As usual I was late and wasn't be able to get up early.. lazy girl!) We're going to have breakfast at Jollibee and we're going to scroll around the City! will post some photos soon!

Arrived here in San Francisco last Saturday and It's my first time to be here :) The weather was good! The sun was up and we was able to go to Pier 39 and Fisherman's Wharf without our jackets on. My husband and I took a lot of photos but we only had few shots together. My Aunt just dropped us off in Fisherman's Wharf and she just picked us up for dinner. She also drove us around the city. The City is nice and the weather is cool but it's kinda crowded. You could see a lot of asian people scattered all over the places. Anyway, I have a lot of stories to tell but bye for now... I need to dress up and will meet my online friends :) laters!

We're off to San Francisco, Caliornia USA on saturday so as early as now I'm started to pack our things. Let me share to you some travel tips that I read online :)

1. It is important to make a list. From clothes to toiletries, list everything you'll need for your trip. Check off items before you pack it so you don't forget anything. You're list will be a great help just in case your luggage is lost or stolen, because you'll have a record of everything you've packed.

2. Pick one color scheme. Treat it as like you're going to a pictorial *lol* but not too much :) All your clothes should play nice together. Choose either black or brown, and then add accessories like fun costume jewelry, colored scarves and belts to brighten up your outfits.

3. If you are into wearing a sexy heels make it sure that you have one pair and a light sweater for layering. I noticed that heels can dress up any outfit, you will look sexy and you may need the sweater for those cooler nights.

4. Softly fold your clothes and pack them separately in travel envelopes to avoid wrinkles. . You get more wrinkles when you place harder fabrics with softer fabrics, so pack jeans with jeans and cotton tees with cotton tees. You will test your organizing skill in packing your stuff :)

Two more days and we're off to San Francisco!:) I'm so excited! I'm going to meet my online friend Glo and Trinity as well. Also It's my first time to visit the nice City. I've heard so many things about SFO and I can't wait to be there *lol* My Aunt will drive us around the City on weekend :) And here are some of the places that we're planning to visit:

• Alcatraz Island
  
• Angel Island
  
• Chinatown
  
• Fisherman's Wharf
  
• Golden Gate Bridge
  
• Ocean Beach

I was craving for white coffee of Penang a while ago :) I had a taste of it when I was in Penang two years ago. The company I was working for sent us (where 8 in the team) to DELL Factory in Penang Malaysia as an incentive. The weather then was humid and I thought Penang was like KL but I'm wrong. It's a province of Malaysia and there was nothing spectacular in the City and the food was not good as well :( Good thing was we stayed in a five star hotel courtesy of the supplier, visited some tourist spots in the country and most importantly I got my price - a cartier watch!!! Awesome!!! :)  Let me share with you some our of photos :)

I hope I can buy nice new stuff at very good deal :) I'm off from my computer now. Will be leaving in a while :)

How to you enhance your photos? Using Photoshop or Lightroom? Me? I'm using both!:) I'm preoccupied on editing our photos last weekend. Originally I'm using phoshop on editing of my photos and just recently a friend of mine introduced the lightroom to me since then I'm always using it. I was editing our photos last weekend and I thought of sharing some tips to you, I already shared it here :) 

It was taken on Boracay Beach last May 2006. Stayed there for a week and I worked there as a VIS staff for Nestea Beach Volley Ball. Aside that we received a salary for working there, the hotel and food were free! A perfect work indeed! *lol* Working while having pleasure huh :) I'm looking forward to go back there :)

I told you here that we're planning to travel this month. My husband and I are really excited about it and as early as now I'm packing my luggage lol yes that's true! Where scheduled to fly to SFO on two weeks time :) I really wanted to go there because I've heard so many things about the City. We're also planning to do some photo opp or some kinda of pictorial like the photos I've seen in some famous photographers *lol* I love taking picture and posing as well.
