Dolphins Reunited


                 We got invited to the Opening of one of my former teamate in swimming. Its far up antipolo ,quite isolated but it is such a nice view. Its been quite a while weve been together so it was exciting to get to see and bond with these people again.

                    They did have a nice outdoor setup very bright like summer. Plus the food was delicious too. Great to enjoy a wonderful sunset at the mountain with fine food.



                                    I missed them so much!We got a chance to talk to each other for a while and funny how we were guessing on each others age. Talking about how we grew our muscles loose and the after effects of stopping from swimming.
                   Also got a chance to be a "singer" for the night as we had to sing because it was their form of karaoke:)) Something trippy because we rarely see each other.Then i thought i should take more singing lessons because Venice the kid i sang with has really great voice. At least i was in tune somehow thats whats important. I did enjoy this day actually and i do hope to see them real soon.

WHAT I WORE:
 Denim Skirt:Overhauled, Printed tee:Bosinni,Blazer from a Bazaar, Leopard Wedges, Rubi by Cotton On
Backpack from Sylvia Santos,Shades from Forever 21


 Rings from Bedazzle

How was your easter sunday folks?

XOXO

Around AU in 58 Days: En Route to Canberra



On our way to Canberra we passed by this Big Merino. A big sheep in the stop over where in you could get to see how wool and cotton from the sheeo is created. Grabbed ourselves coffee from subway before we again head to the road again for Canberra City.


Canberra is the Australian Capital and our first stop before going to the attractions is this nice big park by a lake.Enjoying the nice weather while taking photos. This park is where they hold the spring flower festival. As my uncle told me there are loads of tulips growing in this place during spring.Though it was winter when i got here i do wish to go back during spring season:)

WHAT I WORE:
Red Beanie & Red Sweater from Mines View Park, Baguio,Boots from Cherrylane Uggs, Jacket lent to me by auntie.

Around AU in 58 Days: War Memorial Museum ,Canberra

          This Memorial is built in honour of the brave souls who fought for Australia during the world war. Here exhibits the different vehicles, armors, uniforms of the soldiers and its leaders. You could also see figures showing how their life was during their time.




                The indoor exhibit halls is like a walk through timeline of the evends during tha war. Complete with detail. From what they are wearing to what vehicle they use. There are also some recovered photos and videos captured during that time. Everything is well preserved and organized chronologically. Even the underwater vehicles life boats of the war veterans are displayed.There are a few sections interactive too




On the Outdoors is a long wall of names in honour and recognition of all those who died in the war in different countries.There at the end of the wall also lies a wonderful chapel for one brave soul.



One brave soul that isnt recognized, unnamed. I do love the design of this chapel because its made of stained walls and drawn upon with mosaic tiles.

Around AU in 58 Days: Telecom Tower, Canberra


       One of the highest spots in Canberra is the Telecom Tower. This is where the phone signals come from and they also open it as a tourist spot. You get to see a sort of aerial view already of the tower.

Right at the outdoor peak of the tower this is what youll be seeing. A sort of aerial view of canberra and maybe the neighboring towns too. It was winter and we were at a peak so even if were layered with thick jumpers it is still freezing.

            Heres a glimpse of what you will see int he indoor area of the tower. You could still see the view and right above every window will be a description of which area you are looking at. What is there and what it is to do there.

XOXO

Around AU in 58 Days: Australian Parliament House, Canberra

        Canberra is the Capital of Australia so there you could find their famous Parliament house that is open for tourists. You could go in and be a spectator for a day when the senators and congressmen have their session. By the time we were there it was a holiday so there was no session.
With my mom,uncle Roger and Auntie Ophelia at the Convention hall or Function room of the parliament house. This is where the goverment officials hold their events.


at the Lobby and halls of the parliament house! I feel so fabolous walking around the building. I am walking on the same grounds where Australia's Politicians walk! The structures are mostly white and they also got small exhibits in some parts showing facts about the history of the Australian Goverment.

Also got in the Senate Session Room. The Senate's room is themed green. We were at the spectators area. Rhis is where the public could watch whenever they have sessions even on ordinary days.

The Fabolous Congress! haha I loved the congress because it is themed in my favorite color, PINK!. I would love to watch a session here and observe how they do debate about things for the australian people. Well thats something that we should do in the philippines. Open the sessions to the public spectators.

Here we are at the rooftop of the parliament house! It was Freezing! and yes! it was so nice to chill out there, You get to enjoy the view of Canberra.


Here I am at the facade of the Congress and the Outdoor grounds of the parliament house. It was 5 degrees i think and it was raining thats why if you noticed we are all layered up with jumpers. Im so glad to be able to feel like a politician for a day here in the beautiful building.I wish there is something like this in the philippines.

XOXO
