But I will also show photos of how my day went yesterday with the boys. Had awesome time at the mall, eating Asian food and ice cream. I guess I have all the excuses to eat ice cream these days since everyday is a scorcher. I wore a white frill top from my favourite Atmos&Here and stripes shorts. Got to use my new Givenchy Antigona bag too.
I was nominated by Airish from Glorious Glance and Vildana from Living Like V. I thank these beautiful bloggers that I've been following, make sure to check out their blogs.
So basically, you have to mention the person/s who nominated you, answer their questions, post 11 random facts about yourself, choose 11 blogs that inspire you, and of course, create 11 questions for them too. So here we go.

Thanks so much girl!
DeleteFirst off, congrats on being nominated and for nominating me, such a great way to start off my day! It was so much fun reading this post and getting to know more about you! Wow, 3 boys!!! I'm sure they keep you busy! What an inspirational story of you migrating from the Philippines to Australia to pursue a better life and career, in which you've achieved, that's incredible and something to truly be proud of. I, too, love chocolate and nuts, ah, it's my absolute favorite! I also love dark chocolate and currants, yum! What's so weird is that throughout my pregnancy, I haven't really craved or wanted chocolate like I used to; I'm all about the carbs now, give my a sandwich and I'm one happy camper, haha. I'm also a lover of luxury bags, they can truly enhance any outfit and allow you to mix and match affordable pieces in a way that makes the look appear that much more expensive. That said, I absolutely adore your Givenchy bag, I've been wanting the black one for the longest time, hopefully I can get my hands on it soon! Thanks so much for sharing, beauty, and I hope you have the most amazing week ahead!
