London day trip


Ayyyy!!! I thought I posted this already but it was just sitting on my draft thinggy... LOL it's late but it's here~~~~ Enjoy :) 

A great onni of mine invited me to go to London with her to watch an Opera and ofcourse I couldn't say no! The train ride to London was just so aahhhhhh so exciting !! Because I've been to London twice but it was just going back and fort to the Airport. That was it... So going to London and actually looking around was so so so super thrilling! I also took some tourist pictures for the SECOND TIME! I've travel to different places but I think this is the second time I took a picture in front of a place "tourist style" :) 


So when we got there we went to whole foods to grab some lunch had some Mexican food and I discovered Vita coco which is a packaged 100% pure coconut water. I was quite glad to see the drink because I've been craving some coconut water~ But kinda disappoint but at the same time happy to see it. I was disappointed because it didn't taste exactly like the fresh coconut water like in the Philippines. I was happy because it had the coconut taste but it just didn't taste fresh... Despite me not really loving it but I bought like 2 litters of it... kinda crazy!! haha I was carrying it around the whole time I was in London... hahaha!!! 

Lunch was over and and it was time for the opera!!! We went to Royal Albert Hall. A beautiful place~ It was my first opera and I love classical music and musicals so I was super excited to watch the opera!~~  We watched "Aida"~ I didn't know anything about the story line so I was excited to see what the Opera was about. I was a love story and I loved it. The performance was beautiful and the cast was amazing!!! I was surprised with the stage~~ woohoo Just wonderful :)

When the Opera was done we walked around and went shopping!!! We went to the Harrods shopping centre and it was phenomenal! I wasn't able to go up to the different floors but The ground floor was still jaw dropping! hahaha I wasn't able to buy much stuff but I got 3 nail vanishes from Chanel 





The colours are Gold finger from the Vagas collects, Rose insolent from I'm not sure.. Probably part of the original collects and the last one is June from the Spring collects. I love theses colours. You can mix and match some colours and it beautiful. Maybe I'll do another review and how I paint my nails post. So keep posted from that! ~ I also bought a perfume which smelled lovely. The packaging is also so beautiful. It's by Caroline Hererra my first perfume by this Brand. 




Wow this is actually becoming a really long post... hahaha but I've done so much this day!! wehehee

anyways, last part of the trip was eating dinner in "Le Pain" a little organic cafe. We weren't That hungry so we just had a small meal~ I had a panini like thing.. I forgot the names... but it was basically bread toped with some beef, tomato, cheese and some other small things as well as some pumpkin soup. I wasn't sure if I liked the pumpkin soup because I prefer pumpkin soup which is cream based. and my friend ordered a chicken salad which was delicious!! hahaha 



End of delicious meal and thus, the end of my trip and time to go home. We hopped on the last train and bye bye London.
