8th Anniversary Dinner at Cafe Ysabel

We had our anniversary dinner last Thursday at the very cozy Cafe Ysabel. It's famous for its romantic ambiance and its delectable food choices. As a matter of fact, the Anthony Bourdain visited this restaurant a few years ago.

Happy 8th Anniversary

For the last eight years, you have been treating me like a queen. I still don't know what I did to have you as my soulmate. Really can't ask for anything more. Happy 8th anniversary, my love! ♥

93rd

I went out with Nikko tonight 'cause it's our 93rd monthsary (yes, after all these years, we still celebrate monthsaries).

This is what I wore.

Plain t-shirt from Greenhills; Harem pants I got from Hong Kong; Clogs from So! Fab; Bag from Juicy Couture

It's just so fun to have a boyfriend, who never gets tired of taking photographs! Haha.

I like clogs because they're comfy and stylish at the same time.

<3

Happy 93rd, Love!

Partying like it's 2012. Oh, it is. :))

Last Saturday was a close friend, Camps's 25th birthday party. We had tons of fun dancing and partying the night away in Izakaya, Greenbelt.

I wore this dress I got from Chase. Shoes are by Rajo! for Parisian, Headband from Girl Shoppe, Necklace from Boracay and bag from Prada.

With the birthday girl! :) Made her a Ferrero Bouquet!

With Nikko <3

With the Jboys and girls

Hi! <3

Obviously, we were having fun.

With the funniest group of boys

and the funnest group ever. :)

Outfit photo again before leaving the parking. Hahaha.

HK Ocean Park

The best part of the trip was our visit to Ocean Park. The different things one can do inside truly exceeded our expectations. 

I don't like doing this sign in pictures but I was compelled by the photographer. For some reason, I like this picture a lot so we purchased it.

Random shot by my boyfriend. I think we were discussing here whether or not to purchase the picture above.

This is what I wore: red blouse used to be my mom's (Yes, I know she's cool like that), black jeans I got from a department store, brown suede boots I got in Maryland, three years ago.

My family's so excited to see the pandas!

Awww!!! <3

With one of the mascots, firefox. :)

Here's what an actual firefox (or red panda) looks like. :)

You can take the cable car going to the other side of the park where most rides are.

Hair Raiser -- THE BEST ROLLER COASTER RIDE EVER!

The Flash -- This was pretty scary but super fun!

Look at those cute dolphins! <3

And those cute seals!!! <3

We just love taking pictures in front of Christmas trees. :)

Belated Merry Christmas! <3

The happiest place on earth!

Day 2 of our HK trip was dedicated to Disneyland. It was actually my first time to be in a Disney Park so I was super excited.

Family picture!

In front of that inter-active Buzz Lightyear game/ride.

It's a Small World! My favorite! :)

Inside It's a Small World

My Disney princesses!!! <3 The parade actually made me cry. Yes, I'm shallow like that. 

This is in Toy Story Land. I look like a little toy, don't I? :))

At Autopia. I drove and Nikko was my passenger. :)

At Tarzan's Treehouse. :)

Sleeping Beauty's Castle! :)

<3

Disneyland didn't disappoint me. :) Can't wait to see the other Disney parks!

The Victoria Peak and Madame Tussauds

Our first day in Hong Kong was really tiring because we were not able to sleep the night before. After depositing our luggages in our hotel and having breakfast at the nearest McDonald's, we decided to check out the Victoria Peak. On the way, we saw a Catholic Church and heard Mass. :)

The view from above. <3

You can take the Peak Tram going up. The ride was really exciting!

That's me, Nikko and Manfred

I love you, Victoria Peak and Nik!

Also, there's a mall at the peak and there's a Madame Tussauds Wax Museum inside the building. It was my second time to be in a Madame Tussauds museum, the first being in New York, but I still had tons of fun posing beside the wax figures.

That's my brother, Manfred kissing Madame Tussaud.

Madonna with my gorgeous mom.

It's my dad and his friend Albert! :))

Hey! We're part of Rembrandt's creation! :)

That's me mimicking Marilyn Monroe. :) Sheer blouse by Kashieca, Jeans from Forever 21, Shoes by Coach.

Oh, Audrey! <3 I adore you!

That's my boyfriend, Nikko, blocking Yao Ming.

So there you go, The Peak and Madame Tussauds. :) Two of the many reasons why Hong Kong is awesome!
