Life in the Fash Lane | Fashion, Beauty & Lifestyle Blog: photos

Since getting engaged, my fiance and I had been saving up on a whole lot of things we need to prepare for. Aside from the wedding, we're also saving up for our new home and ~~a few~~ several other things we need by the time we move into our new place. But despite of all the things that we are working for in life, we have vowed to travel to a place that we've never been to at least once or twice a year. And we have been staying true to this promise in the past four or five years. Hopefully, when things have settled down a bit, we can do more travel and even trips outside of the city.

Early this year, we jet-setted to Malaysia to spend time with a friend of mine who worked there. We were there for a week and so that gave us the opportunity to see a few things that Malaysia has to offer. It was a memorable trip, no doubt. Not just because we got engaged in Malaysia but because of the sights and activities we got to experience together.

As the old saying goes, a picture can say a thousand words. So I would spare you the blabber and give a glimpse of what we were up to in Malaysia.

Next on our travel bucket list: Cambodia and Vietnam, anyone?

The month of April and May went like a blur for me. Even though May is not officially over yet, we're already halfway there and it will only be a matter of time until June arrives (not that I hate the prospect). The good thing is that I can look back at those times with a huge smile on my face. Allow my Instagram photos to tell the story of my life during summer so far.

My nephew turned 8. That is a BIG deal for this aunt who cannot get over the fact that my baby is growing up so fast. 8! That feels to me like he just turned 21. I am just trying to make the most of our time together until comes the time he finds it "uncool" to kiss and hug me...in public! (insert sniffing here)

Graduation season inspired nostalgia. I cannot believe I've been out of school for 7 years now. A cousin of mine also completed college and it reminded me how important that was and how accomplished it made me feel. Congrats to the graduates of UP Mindanao! Continue making UP proud :)

Indulging in all things summer, like swimming, enjoying a cool lime drink or some frozen dessert.

We celebrated another relationship milestone. After 7 years and 5 months, I feel so lucky that the boyf still loves taking me out on dates especially during special days.

Dragon Boat Festival Week. This was the highlight of my summer thus far. I have always been the boyf's biggest fan but this was a one-of-a-kind experience that I will always remember with extreme pride and jubilation. Now, he and his team are back to training and I cannot wait for the next event - I'll for sure be on the sidelines cheering him (and his team!) on.
