TRAVEL PHOTO DIARY: PARIS
Like the rest of the big capital cities in Europe, you really need to spend more than 3 days in Paris. The beauty of this trip was that we managed to spend the day in Versailles. The long line up and herds of people can be disheartening, but once you're inside the grand estate you will be in awe of its intricacy through either the interiors, art, and the size of the place.
Staying in the heart of Saint Michel, we were accessible to various landmarks such as the Louvre, Ponte Des Arts, Notre Dame Cathedral and the various street stall vendors.
Paris overall projects it's romantic feel through her architecture, boutique shopfronts, restaurants, historic galleries to the lifestyle the locals lead. It is a beautiful city and it is always sad to say goodbye.

ART: LONDON
The Tate Modern - London United Kingdom
There is so much to pay respect to at the Tate Modern along the River Thames. Artist and their artworks took me back to when I was studying during high school. From the legends, Picasso, de Chirico, Monet to Russian Revolutionary Posters. I am always in awe and could have spent the rest of my trip in the four levelled gallery looking at every piece of work and visiting the gift store of course.

TRAVEL PHOTO DIARY: LONDON
Southbank, the typical tourist route you need to do in London. Starting from the Underground; walking up to see Big Ben; strolling along the River Thames; past the Vintage Book Markets; having a pint of beer at the various pubs; checking out the galleries along the way; watching a play at Shakespeare's Globe through to a delicious feed at the Borough Markets. I heart London!

LIFESTYLE TRAVEL: SAMAL ISLAND WEDDING
26-02-2014. Samal Island, Davao. Philippines
The day Denise Navarro became Mr & Mrs Rodeny Robles.
Watching our friends at the wedding ceremony professing their love for one another was truly special. We've know the couple for over 8 years and it was an honour that they asked us to be their secondary sponsors. *Tear*
With all the formalities covered, everyone knew that we were all in for a big night at the reception - located on a private beach! The MC had it all planned out, hitting the night off with introductions, fireworks, entertaining games, prizes, buffets, patron shots and partying on the dance floor.
It was truly an epic build up the week of the wedding in paradise! Activities planned, social events, buffet feeds, drinks at the Parola Bar to chilling in the infinity pool. It was hard to say goodbye to Pearl Farm Resort!
