Back on Board, and a Quick Weekend Recap.

Just got back from an awesome out-of-the-blue, out-of-town weekend with my sibs! I was fervently hoping there'd be wifi at the places we were going, but alas! Even the resort hotel we stayed at didn't have internet connection.

So pardon my excommunication for the past three days. I'll try to catch up on my blog roll, plus your comments, blog posts, tweets and wall posts. I'm looking forward to a busy week ahead, since the little man will be starting with his School Readiness Program. (That's tomorrow at 8 freaking 30 in the morning, good luck to my insomnia and good bye to my Kdrama marathons!!!)

Anyway, here are some snippets of the weekend that was. Full posts and more photos coming soon! :)

At The Aristocrat.

Memorial shadows.

St. John the Baptist Church.

Tiptoeing for holy water.

Between the salt and pepper shaker. :)

Fancy some footwear?

Al fresco at Kainan sa Balay.

And now we're back to regular programming!

*Photos were captured using Finn, my point-and-shoot Fuji FinePix J150W. Photos number 3, 4, and 5 were tweaked using Picnik's HDR (#3), Fancy Focus (#4), and Black and White Focus (#5) modes.

Hair Story | Behind the Scenes of my Pixie.

When I had my hair done a few weeks back, I actually took a lot of pictures while I was at the salon. I intentionally did not post them together with this entry because the photos deserve an entry of their own. And I was saving them for InstaFriday.

This is how the facade of Creative Moda de Primera looks like.

Homey feel, even from the outside.

And it's not just a salon. It's also a fashion house owned by one of the top couturiers here in my area. So it's only natural that you find things like these inside.

This gown walked down the catwalk of the last Coco Festival Grand Fashion Show.

Old sewing machines remind me of my great grandmother, who loved to sew.

Jenny (the owner) has a penchant for antiques, which can be found all over the place.

Wooden totem poles and woven baskets.

Fine china.

I'm enamored by pendulum clocks. We used to have one in our old home. They always remind me of Edgar Allan Poe's 'The Pit and the Pendulum'.

Shadow shot FTW!

Now here are some quirky stuff also displayed in the waiting area.

Use your imagination, lol.

Reminds me of The Little Prince's rose.

And here's Lani doing my hair, plus Yue tinkering with his toy. I always bring one wherever we go, just to keep him preoccupied.

Lani is a pro at doing pixie cuts.

Are you done, Mom?

Haircut success!

Handsome baby, handsome Mommy. Lol!

After getting a pixie, I don't want to grow my hair long ever again. :)
