Travel Blog: Where to go and What to do in Singapore

Hello there! I am super late at posting this..sorry!.. these past few days was a roller coaster (I don't even ride those things. haha!) and I just had this time to blog about this.

So anyways, now, I will be sharing with you what we did during our stay in Singapore. This will also give you some tips or ideas on where to go or what to do if you happen to venture into this beautiful land :)

I actually created an Itinerary for us, from our friends who went there and from someone who is working there.

By the way, before you start your journey, be sure to download the MRT singapore map, you can find it here - http://www.smrt.com.sg/Trains/NetworkMap.aspx, it would be easier for you. Also we used an app, which helped us know what time the Bus will arrive and how much is the ride, http://gothere.sg/maps. But it's always fun to get lost in this city, beautiful view and no pollution.

Day 1: City Tour
We actually arrived at 11:30 PM of Sept 4, and since the MRT opens at 5:30am, we had to spend the night at the airport, since we don't know any other way to go to our friend's house. Airport in SG is amazing, lots of restaurant which are open 24 hours and it's so big and beautiful, you won't get tired looking at it hahaha.

We slept for 4 hours after arriving at our friend's house, then we started our day 1 in SG.

First stop is Gardens by the Bay - this is such a beautiful site, there's this building that has like a boat on top of it. They say that it's a bar and a pool there, we weren't able to go since we want to see other site.

Travel Blog: Our Trip to Singapore! | Birthday + 7th Year Anniversary

Traveling and going to new places is one of my lifetime goals. I want to travel the world and experience different culture, taste local food and see how beautiful the world is.

Hello There! This is an exciting blog for me. I have just started to travel outside the Philippines, and this time it's Singapore! how awesome is that? I never thought I'd be able to, one day, go to this beautiful place. It was just a dream then to go to other places, now, I am actually doing it, with God's blessing.

I just wanted to share with you my experience with this beautiful city, where we went, where to go if you ever want to go there and of course Shopping! (Makeup shopping for me), I'll share with you where to go shopping while here in SG :)

It was our 7th year anniversary and also my 28th birthday, so we decided to celebrate it in SG. We booked this last year.

It was so great for our friend, Koshie, to allow us to stay on her house for a few days. It saved us a lot! 

Before going to the airport, be sure to have your documents (hotel booking, itinerary) and passport ready. They didn't check our hotel booking but just incase.. It never hurts to be ready.. they say that in some cases, they also check the money that you carry.

This city is super clean, and the transportation is super easy. Upon arriving at the airport, you can buy your Tourist pass (unlimited train and bus ride) at the MRT ticket office, it costs 10 SGD per day, we opted for 3 day pass, since we will be there for 4 days, on our last day we decided to use the daily pass instead. The MRT runs from 5:30am to 12mn, but the ticket office will open at 8am, you can only buy your tourist pass during that time. If you arrive before 8am, you can buy a daily pass ticket which you can reload for 6 times, this cost depending on the destination, just prepare S$1, S$2 and S$5 since the machine will only accept upto S$5, but you can ask to change your money at the ticket counter, which we did.

We rode the train and the bus to our friend's house, We only had a hard time with the bus since they only accept exact coins, good thing there was a store nearby and the owner changed our dollar bill..

Here are some of the photos of our departure from Manila and arrival to Singapore =)

Me and Jay, Plane ride to SG =)

The plane was huge, it was upto 30+ row, I think. We were at the 27.

Arrival at SG.. 

Our first meal! hahaha... we had to wait for the MRT to open, so this is what we can eat during that time.

SG Airport was huge and beautiful.

Our first SG MRT Ride..

Hope you enjoyed reading and looking at the pictures of this post.. next up will be where to go when in Singapore :) please come back tomorrow..

Thanks again for the visit and have a nice day! :)

I hate to say this, cause I love a lot of L'oreal products, but for me personally, I didn't like the smell of the L'oreal oil and nourishing mask, It smelled like a coconut oil that is used for cooking (if that made any sense), I am very particular of the scent of the products I used and for me, when I tried those product, I didn't really like how it smelled on my hair, but I still use it when I don't go out cause it really does make my hair shiny.

I liked the the shiseido concentrate and revlon lipstick though, I have already been using them everyday. I liked how the serum feels on my skin, I use it before I apply my L'oreal serum :)

Overall, this months box has been great, I am happy with all the products inside! :)

Thanks for the visit and Have a blessed day ahead!

Graduation day is always fun! I like the feeling of being able to fulfill something.

It's exciting and a sad moment. Exciting because I got to graduate from one of the best makeup school in town, but sad cause I got to meet some amazing people and it's just sad to not see them that often anymore.. (good thing fb is there fo us to keep in touch)

Hello Ladies! Thank you for visiting my blog today! really appreciate it. 

Sharing with you today, my great experience with this school, This is actually my graduation day. I just finished the Module 1 at MP School of makeup artisty.

The school was awesome, friendly staff and nice models.

This is me with Sir Mio and Ms Yuki, our instructors. My model during the graduation day is Cy, and I created a day look for her, using the closed corner technique.

What is the commotion all about? It was because of my name.. haha! I have a very unique and long name that is why they are having a hard time reading it (I get that all the time).

Here are my beautiful classmates and models in action.

It was an awesome journey, I hope you had fun reading and looking at pictures from all the post I did for this series of MP school blog post.

I learned a lot from the school, but not only that, I also met great people during this journey. They are really fun to be with and they share great tips and tricks, It's one of the reason why I joined in workshops and trainings, I get to meet new amazing pipz plus I learn something :)

So that is it, I am now a professional Makeup Artist! wohoo! finally! I hope I can continue this journey, this is just the start of a big thing.. Please contact me if you need a makeover =)
