There! It's confirmed... I AM OUT OF REHAV! Just recently I acquired this very, very cool pair of Havaianas. I know there are so many designs coming out this year but this one did get me out of REHAV...



My very own 2010 World Cup USA Havaianas pair! *twirls around the room* Thanks sis Mei Lyn!



And guess what!? My good luck charm is working again! A few days ago, I received a call... and take note, it wasn't for a reservation for SALA Lounge + Café. It was from...

*drumrolls please*

... HAVAIANAS PHILIPPINES!!! Then I got an email asking for additional requirements because out of thousands of entries for the Havaianas Happy Soles contest, my video has been chosen by the judges as one of the top ten finalists!!!

*cartwheels*

Now, the interesting bit. You guys have to vote for the video so I can win this contest!!!



You've got to let me win... because if I do, I will give away a lot of Havaianas to my lucky readers and voters!!! Weeeee!

Gimme a minute of your time, login to the Havaianas site (register an account for free if you haven't) and please please please... Make me happy!!! VOTE FOR ME, MARIA VELASQUEZ!

CLICK HERE TO VOTE --> http://www.havaianasphilippines.com/happysoles/willtravel/p2_profile.php?pid=9 <-- You can vote ONCE per day! :)

Oh yeah, pardon me for the annoying voice and my bad singing... Desperate times need desperate measures. LOL!

Take me and my friends to Brazil... and get lots and lots of chances to win pairs of Havaianas when I get back! Weeeee!

Love you all! Xoxo,

Time to unwind. Dressed down and wet. No make-up and borloloys, no nonsense. We are just a bunch of people entertaining ourselves... with good clean fun ;) Just the right amount of booze (actually, kuwang pero nihit pod ang ice!), lots of games (truth or dare!?), entertainment, plenty of food, and lots and lots of laughter.

Endless summer nights indeed!

Location: Maia's Beach Resort

I'd like to think of this as a pre-nup album... LOL! But seriously, Bantayan seems like the perfect island to get hitched. I mean, it's pretty quaint and peaceful and there's a lot of room to party!!! And it's cheap, and yeah, I'm a cheapo :)

Nevertheless, love is in the air!!! WARNING: This album oozes with corniness and charness!!!

Spankin' goooood time with the Barks & Co. Certified cam whores from A to Z. :P

This is Day 2 of our Bantayan Escapade of 2010!

Location: Bantayan Island

Summer 2010 is definitely here. Barks & Co. takes off to Bantayan Island! We took the Ormoc-Palompon-Pulambato-Hagnaya-Sta. Fe route... for the fastest, cheapest way to go.

Destination: Maia's Beach Resort (Bantayan Island)

April 10-12, 2010

P.S. Tag yourselves, guys! I find it hard to upload 4gb worth of pix, so I think I'll have to upload them by day/night and just select some. If you want more pix, email me so I can send you the rest. ;) Enjoy!

For the love of the islands... we're off to Canigao Island again!

BEFORE:


AFTER:


Some of the main characters. Same beautiful island.
This time we took the whole Cantubo Represent! Hahahahahaha!

Ambot nagkagubot sa kadaghan pagkaon!



A mother's day special!

It's grabbing time, people! Go go go!

Quick post before I upload albums of our yet another island adventure for the summer. Here's something I didn't really expect.

Someone left me a comment over at my main blog and said this:



LOL! Imagine my surprise!? For one, I haven't been called "Mai-Mai" for ages (at least, online) and two, what's up with being "anonymous"?! Okay, I didn't get to go out on a date but I received this shortly after!



It's the Havaianas SURF for Girls I've been meaning to get, but didn't get lang. I just didn't feel the "need" or "want" really.





I now have a stalker! Joke... This was actually given to me by someone special and dear to me. Why? He said, "I'll give you Havaianas. Just don't go on random dates with 'anonymous' people." HAHAHAHA! Guess who???

Oh well, works for me!  :)

Poker lang guihapon bisan nagbakasyon? Pero ligo-ligo gyud ang show taman sa ginhawa!!! ^_^

Chocolate hills, butterfly sanctuary, tarsier sanctuary, Loboc river, Hinagdanan cave, Baclayon church, Python, Sandugo...

Tara na, viaje tayo!!!

... the tough asks, "WHERE'S THE GOING???"





And more...



So I packed up everything... Well, sorta.



Not really going anywhere... but thought I'd do some maaaajjjjoooorrr clean-up (room renovation?)... It's a miracle! You didn't think I had it in me? Well, watch out...


Me to Archie: Unsa man bro? Lumba ta dagan sa karton??

Seriously, here's to the first project for the summer... 

My new room. Sorta.


COMING SOON!
Check back for updates.

My BFF suggested I go to the salon today to get something done. After all the controversy, I think I want to awaken the Jean Garcia in me.

To cut the story short, here's my "exotic pinay" look.

And yeah, i got the tresses trimmed just a wee bit. My hair is still unusually long plus the highlights. Isn't it so Japayuki-ish? Tee hee.



So it's summer.. I'm bringing the balikbayan look back!!! ^_^
