Hola me loves! It's been awhile since my last article regarding Crew Layovers (Sorry!) As you see, your homegirl has been quite busy --- ok! not so busy, but uhhh, so sorry, haha! Couldn't find any excuse for my long absence, please don't be mad, I do hope that we're still cool though (so we cool?haha) bueno --- Vamos Empiezar (Let's start!)
It was a long haul flight going to DC, flight duration was 12hrs flying time, pheww!! imagine how exhausting that flight was! As usual, didn't get enough sleep right before the flight, since the pick up time schedule for our flight was 3:35AM, so I had to wake up like an hour and 30 mins before our pick up time to get ready, and prepare some of my stuff. Though we usually have a 4-hour rest on the flight, I've got to admit that I'm one of those very unlucky people who don't get to fall asleep easily.
We stayed in Sheraton Premiere Hotel in DC, My flying partner and I decided to just have some rest for a while, due to over fatigue --- I'm over acting--haha! Let's just say that I was a bit dizzy, due to lack of sleep and girl! try working for like 12 hours, 34,000 feet above sea level, and you tell me how you'd feel. ahaha.. Ok, let's just consider it as a mini-fatigue?? If that's even a word (wenk!wenk!)
We went out 2 hours after arriving from the hotel, We don't have much plans on that day though, So we just decided to go out to a Nearby Thai Restaurant and went to Walmart right after. I have a sweet tooth, and it's Walmart for Pete's sake! Your girl, didn't have much power to resist on the yummy Jelly Beans and Airheads ( Sorry, don't have photos for them, 'gawked them all before remembering to take some pictures. haha)
Growing up, from being a teenager, I had a sensitive and acne prone skin, and with that having said, I have to be very careful about the cosmetics that I have to apply on my face for me not to break out --- I know it's not that much advisable to use makeups and stuff with a sensitive skin condition like mine, but since makeup is a necessity on my job, so it's really a must.
These are one of the few best drugstore makeups that I can truly rave about! As these foundations are really effective when it comes to coverage, consistency, and texture. But the best thing about these products is that it is TRULY SUITED FOR SKIN TYPES LIKE MINE. (before choosing any foundations or products, make sure to search for reviews on the internet first, as you see, we all have different skin types, these products work great for me, but not for the ones who have a different skin type. If y'all want an honest and thorough review, try visiting www.makeupalley.com for reference if you'd like to check on a product you'd like to purchase)
We went back to the hotel right after Walmart and hit the sack at 8 in the evening! ha! ahhaa. 'woke up at 6 in the morning and got hungry, Thank God! 'was able to buy a salad from walmart that night.
'Went down on the lobby at 7:30 in the morning, and had our breakfast on the Buffet. luckily, the hotel provides a free shuttle going to the train station and some other malls a few distance from the hotel. We rode the train station from Spring Hill to Smithsonian Station. We had the 1 day pass card for like $14.99usd
(It wasn't my first time coming here, I used to be a participant on a summer-exchange-student-program 5 yrs ago during college, it's nice to go back--- and experience nostalgia.)
First stop, is the restroom! rofl, we really have to use the toilet for some reason as the travel time spent on the metro station lasted for 36mins. k, enough with grossing you out...
The very posh cathedral-esque looking Smithsonian Institution Building (The Castle)
National Museum (1879)
Truly, it was a different feeling going here in Air and Space Museum, from a student (5 years ago) to someone who is now working in the Aviation Industry, 'got more excited with aircrafts than with spaceships, I know it's very bizarre!
The Wright Brothers
(Sorry for this awful lighting, 'took several different shots
for this spot, but the lighting was just horrible)
('Forgot what kind of an Airbus Mock up this aircraft model was)
(For those aspiring Astronauts out there! It's never too late --
May the force be with you!!)
The breathtaking United States Capitol
It was chilly and a bit drizzling the last time I went here 5 years ago. I don't enjoy the cold weather that much -- but it's summer season this time, and girl! I need myself some additional Spf! The umbrella isn't giving me too much shade. And we were walking all throughout the area, and it ain't just a nearby distance, it's like acres of sweat! i mean land, or area? sorry, haha.
'Got so hungry, 'Thank the Lord for the nearby food truck!
(Look! They have a Sponge Bob Popsicle!)
Got me some Ice cream Drumstick and some Hotdog Sandwhich
Here's a picture of my 1/3 remaining Hotdog Sandwhich. haha!
Okay, I'm not allergic to heat and all but man! it was like a battle field with the sun and smithsonian's distance parameters (yess!!!ahaha) while walking across the field is killing. 'Beat the heat with this!!!
I had cherry, Raechel got Lemonade
Was the tint visible??
World War II Memorial
Go Philippines!!! Yaaayyy!!
Taking a break from the sun's heatwave

Right when our Smithsonian Agenda was over, we hopped off at Tyson's Station, and went to the mall. Again, we got hungry ( damn walking took all my energy, 'girl needs to recharge) 'Went to eat at 5 GUYS! And it sure was very Oiillyyy??
Conscience: What about your diet?
Me: Silence!!(in a weird evil British Accent. lol! Who cares! I'm starvinnnn' !!! haha.

this product some drumroll and ---- tadaaaaa!!!!) Sephora Perfection Mist Airbrush Foundation
(Ze best ever!! According to my favorite YouTuber)
The cabin in the aircraft is very drying, with that said, we have to moisturize -- most specially our hands, as we would often wash our hands alot using the very drying hand soap that fleet service usually provides
Good thing Bath and Body works' on sale :)
