My Saigon Holiday

Me and my siblings always look forward every holy week and Christmas because it is the time when our family travels and explore new places together. It is only twice a year that we are complete and together so it is more of like bonding for us. (also a great excuse to shop to our hearts contents because we have our mom to finance our shopping) our trips abroad are always memorable as we are like kids again fooling around and playing pranks to each other, talking about our lives and our futures and really spending that much needed quality time that we rarely have an oppurtinity to share in Manila because of everyones busy schedules.

This Holy Week, We explored Saigon in Vietnam. here are some of our pics

Walking and Exploring Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City)

Outside the Opera house, I really adored the French Architecture around the city!

We are a family of Steak Lovers, every time we travel we try to research on where the best place to eat steak is, As of what we heard it was the New York Steak House and Winery
Dont we look so full?

The waiter cutting our steak, It was definately good, and made our trip more memorable.

It was als great to have seen Jenny Y and her friends there! Theresa, Jenny's friend was celebrating her birthday in Temple Club, now to those of you who doesnt know, Temple Club is a Vietnamese restaurant where Bradd Pitt and Angelina Jolie had a date in!

The Entrance

At Brangelina's table with the birthday girl Theresa and Monica! Thanks so much girls lets all catch up and have drinks when you girls arrive from Cambodia!!

Now for the goods i took home! To be quite honest, the clothes being sold there werent really that nice, Id still prefer to shop in Bangkok because its Cheaper and much more updated in trends, BUT they did have some wonderful home accessories that i just couldnt resist to take home!

I bought a set of these beautiful Boxes made out of silver studs (each stud is hammered by hand to create this beautiful shape and texture) and raw semi - precious stones. Do not let the pictures fool you! these things are huge! I had to wrap each one carefully and hand carry them home! ( I never trust PAL or any airline with handling of my luggage)
Bought these Beaded little bags to give as presents to friends, and these Bastos Cigarettes to give away to Zarina, Peewee and Anton kasi BASTOS KAYO! ahahaha kidding
Also got a set of this inlay plates and tissue box made out of mother of pearl and Capiz shells. They look lovely in my room as i use them to place my Toiletries and Kikay stuff for my face.

On the way back home I still had some local money so I went around the duty free in the airport and decided to try Clinique for men Products ;)

and then its back to Manila, Where the cutest dog in the world picked me up at the airport
I hope everyone had a pleasant holy week holiday!!
