Around AU in 58 Days: Australia Maritime Museum, Sydney

               The Australian Maritime Museum is one of the Biggest attractions in Circular Quay. They have an Indoor and outdoor exhibit. For the outdoor exhibit it showcases the different ships and submarines used in battle and in expeditions.




 We got a sneak peak of what it looks inside a legit trading ship. I only see this on hollywood films actually but when i was inside the vessels. I could imagine how life was for those who stayed in the ships and work. Especially that of the battle ship. I would'nt be surprised if a lot of them died in there because as explained by our tour guide. There is a huge number of men working inside that little space in the ship. While the Trading vessel on the other hand was quite spacious compared to the battleship. The headroom is very low! you really do need to bend down!



   I also got to feel like a lady captain for the day! on the battle ship our tour guide gave me the captains hat marking my authority. Well for a short while only,I did also had the chance to be in the Captains lounge where its all spacious and classy. Oh the life captains have when their men suffer from the heat when they are all compressed while working on the little dark spaces they have.


      The Australia Maritime Museum also have an indoor exhibit that showcases different stories. Yet my favorite is thatof the titanic. Titanic is not only one of the classic love story on television but also a real life tragedy as the great ship sank. In the exhibit they showed the costumes used in the titanic movie and also those items that are recovered from the real ship. They even had tickets of the old white star line used years ago.

There is so much to see in the Australia Maritime Museum and whats in this post is just a glimpse of all the wonderful things and experiences it has to offer. I suggest dont miss the Australian MaritimeMuseum if you will Visit Sydney's Circular Quay.

Starborne

                      IM BACK on stage! Today i enrolled for my 3rd Level training for Center for Pop Music Philippines. Back when i was young i was training with CPMP and it did good for my voice. Yet when i was starting to get management invitations my dad didnt want me to push through showbiz yet because i was too young. Then I continued my studies and i dont think its a coincidence that i got small projects without having an idea i could make it or i should take it. Which actually got me thinking maybe i was meant for this. I was lost for a while with singing, and lucky my new voice coach told me on voice check that i was actually in tune. He told me so much things he would teach me and i just cant explain how excited i am.

            Ate at Chuck's Grib with mom after. I was missing australia's Fish & Chips and i just saw their ad on the way to parking, therefore i tried.
                Fish Monti, They say its good for two people. This cone consists of all the fish fillets they have. My favorite was the snapper fillet. I got mine dipped in tartare sauce too!. Just like how i tasted it in australia.So far i would say this Fish and chips is the closest to what i had back in australia.
                 Also had Onion Rings on the side. It may not be as yummy as Brother's Burger Onion rings but fair enough for onion rings.

Oh and you could also doodle on their wall:) I think i was the first brave soul to write on it!:)I do hope they dont erase it or else the next time ill be there ill write it again:))Free advertisement?:)

WHAT I WORE:
White belt from Valley Girl AU, Denim Shorts, Orange Ribbon Shoes:Comfit
Tube top from H&M , Net Knitted vest from Mom

 Necklace from a random Store in Sydney AU

Bag from Coach, Heart charm from Tiffany & Co.

On the BRIGHT SIDE

Holidays over now and everybody is back to work now! That includes me. Went out doing VTRs again, booking travels, and inquiring on different skill enhancement programs.I had to wear something smart casual for my VTR i do hope i did well in that.

P.S. Forgive if the lighting for this is a bit overexposed it was on self timer so i could take it so i couldnt estimate it perfectly at this hour.
 Ill give you some tips that i learned from a week that i got back to doing VTRs.Always wear something smart casual unless there is a wardrobe requirement when going to the VTR. Make sure to wear something that flatters ur curves, Lastly keep it classy.
         For me I wore a basic tank top with colored jeans. Usually in VTRs its basic to wear a tank top as so they can see more on your features rather than your outfit.Wore it with my Nude Pumps and voila a really sexy classy VTR ensemble.

WHAT I WORE: 
Tank Top & Jeans: SM DEPARTMENT STORE, Red Belt from VALLEY GIRL AU, Bag from NINEWEST, Nude Pumps from Famous Footwear AU

Hows everybody going back to work?

XOXO

Around AU in 58 Days: Chinese Garden of Friendship

  The Chinese garden of Friendship is one of the many attractions in Darling Harbour. Honestly speaking it took us a week to enjoy almost all the attractions in Darling Harbour. The Chinese garden of friendship is just one big garden. Well for me it may actually be one big set of Mulan. Very Zen and relaxing in the area you wouldnt think you are in the city.




   Around the garden are different plants described and labeled. There are also some plants that only appear on certain season. They say its most beautiful in the garden during spring because its where all the flowers bloom.




     Whats very "mulan-feel" in this garden are the temples! situated by their man made lake, the only thing lacking is me in a japanese robe singing......when will my reflection show who i am inside"... haha. Everything has that beautiful oriental detail. Im not really sure what the temples are for because im not chinese but i do appreciate the design so much and hopefully id have a good budget to shoot here next time.
Im definitely loving getting lost in this garden. You could also get to wear a traditional costume for an additional cost. but i chose not to and heres just a stolen shot by mom with the cute kids in their costumes. I do really love this place its not like our ordinary chinese gardens in the philippines. This garden is well maintained

WHAT I WORE:
 Sweater dress from Topshop, Scarf:Gift, Boots from Cherrylane Uggs
Shades from Just Jeans AU
