About This Blog

Welcome! This site holds an online journal, a photo gallery, information about me which I'd love to share with everyone who is interested.

I fell in love with writing in High School. I love the process of story-telling, sharing bits of my life, and creating an experience with words and pictures. I absolutely love the fact that this site is MINE and I can control everything about it - from what it looks like, to what I say (bursts into a sinister laugh).

I write about my daily adventures - as a mother of a teenager, as a partner to my actor/director boy-friend, as a young woman enjoying the fullness of life, as a girly-girl who loves to shop, and a dancer who still dreams to perform with Madonna.

I like to write about my life, a few brazen thoughts here and there, and finding inspiration and happiness in the small simple pleasures of life. Ok...with the, extravagant and luxurious ones too!

Wanderlust

For the past few weeks, my feet have been itching. Figuratively speaking, of course! I've just been so consumed by this STRONG desire to travel. I've been buying Lonely Planet books left and right, constantly browsing lonelyplanet.com, and planning our trips for '06 and '07. I guess I just need a change of scene. I wanna expose my self to different cultures, try other cuisines, go to the other parts of the world. For me, experiencing the world and all it's wonders is what "LIVING A FULL LIFE" is all about.

My recent purchase...the Lonely Planet's Blue List '06 and '07. This is the ultimate travel bible, baby! It's a compilation of the world's hottest trends, destinations, journeys and experiences for the year ahead. It even has a calendar of the best places to go and things to do.



I'm leaving this August for my birthday, that's for sure. We were planning a trip to Prague and Vienna, but due to time constraints, we're postponing it to next year. So we decided to just go to Bangkok, Thailand. Come with?

Ahh, love Bangkok. I wanna come with you too, haha. Anyway, if Deb already mentioned it, you and this girl from So You Think You Can Dance look alike. She's a good pop dancer, but I think you're a mile better and prettier. Naks! Have a great week ahead, darling. (:

Go to Grand Palace and the floating market. For shopping, there are great finds at the night market and pratunam.

Blogger Mec said ... (4:55 PM) : 

am super envious naman that you don't seem to be hampered by lack of funds... ako kasi that's the major reason why i'm not travelling the world :D kung pwede lang sanang may sponsor na lang eh no? :D

 

Blogger DigiscrapMom said ... (12:33 AM) : 

I have been visiting your blog. It's just that I don't have much time to post comments. Your blog is much better now :) I love it - the colors and the simplicity! It's cool and great!

You surely had a wonderful Boracay Summer and congratulations on your new venture (I don't remember if I greeted you before about it!).

Anyway, as always, you are gorgeous and beautiful! Have a grand time in Bangkok next month :)

And by the way, thanks so much for visiting my blog again. I know it's been a while and somehow I'm now able to get all caught up with it. :)

*hugs*

Blogger j said ... (7:08 PM) : 

hello hanagirl, I went to Bangkok last February and I had a grand time. I'm sure you'll enjoy the tour and most especially the cheap bargains :) this august 30 we're going to Palawan to celebrate my birthday (Sept 2) so we're staying until that day.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (6:57 PM) : 

i dream of having to go to somewhere far and not come back for a while.ü

 

Blogger Ketch Pablo said ... (9:32 PM) : 

Oh yeah. Wanderlusters unite. I'm planning on going to Singapore in October for a week or two. Yey.

Sorry about my links, Miss Hanagirl. I've updated it. ^_^

Blogger Unknown said ... (1:35 AM) : 

ay, i want to visit bangkok din.. kaso, walang makasama.. and wala ako alam don.. hihi

hongkong pa lang plan namin ng friends ko..

sama!! hehehe

 

Blogger HanAgiRL said ... (2:43 AM) : 

Floi: Singapore was, well, okay. It's really small so like in 2 days, naikot mo na sya! It's like being in Makati. yah, it's that small. Shopping is pretty expensive though. What made it worthwhile was being with our Singaporean friends who happen to be celebrities there too. So it was pretty cool :)

 

Blogger HanAgiRL said ... (2:49 AM) : 

Sachiko: yes, am starting to like this fresh look of mine too. Sadly we won't be going to any beaches since it's rainy season and I still think that our very own Boracay is the best. Will just be roaming around Bangkok and Ayuthayya :)

Cher: HK is fine. Don't forget to go to disneyland! Oh while you're there, it's better that you go to China na.

hinde pala na post yung comment ko last week..:(
ui, BKK.. saya jan.. love ko yan eh.. shopping to the max... punta ka chatuchak dami stuffs para sa pets.. as low as 30 baht..:)

 

Blogger den said ... (1:01 AM) : 

I want!!! I've always wanted to go to Thailand but due to... er, budget issues hehe... I think the closest thing to travelling I'd ever be able to do is through Lonely Planet! Wah! Although I love their travel books, ha.

If you go to Bangkok and Greece and Prague post loads of pictures para kunyari nakarating na din ako hehe

 

Blogger Cerridwen said ... (9:33 AM) :
