It’s been a busy week for us last holiday. Oct. 31, we went to visit my mom at Himlayang Pilipino together with my two sister-in-laws, hubby and daughter. Right after lunch, our family went to Laguna to visit my mom-in-law’s dead relatives. The next day (Nov.1), we hit the road again to visit my father-in-law’s …

Longganisa Sorpresa, Sky Garden

While we were eating at Army Navy, I can’t help but notice this resto, Longganisa Sorpresa. I’m a longganisa lover ever since I was a kid because my dad’s uncle used to sell home made Vigan longganisa. I remember when my dad/helper used to prepare a dozen Vigan longganisa just for me! YUMMY! Out of curiosity, …

We fell in love with Apple ever since we had our Macbook (white) 3 yrs. ago. We literally use their products EVERYDAY. From there, we purchased our 2nd Apple device, the iPod Classic (120GB) which we used to store ALL of our audio collection that was previously burned in multiple DVDs. 3rd would be the iPad2 which keeps …

Ocean Adventure, Subic Bay

grace — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 02:15:02 +0000

Since we’re already in Subic, we decided to pay Ocean Adventure a visit. It’s just like a 5 min. drive from Zoobic Safari. So better include this on your itinerary. They have 3 shows: Walk on the Wild Side (Eco Theater) which features animals that you can see in the forest like a bat, snake, …

Zoobic Safari Experience

A lot of us prepared for things to do and where to go last long weekend. Unfortunately, typhoon Mina was still within the Philippine area of responsibility. I don’t want to have this weekend gone to waste so we still pushed through with our plan to go to Zoobic Safari last Monday despite the rain. …

Road Trip: Laguna

June 20 is the birth of our National Hero, Jose Rizal. Since June 20 falls on a Monday, our President Noynoy Aquino declared it as a holiday in commemoration for Rizal’s 150th birthday this year! Where else should we celebrate this event? No other than our hero’s home province, Laguna! Our family went to another …

Chateau Hestia Garden Restaurant, Silang Cavite

After visiting Yoki’s Farm, my friends and I went to Bag of Beans to have a sip of coffee. Checked out view at The Inn at the Cliffhouse… Too bad, we can’t take too many pictures because it’s raining! Since we’re still not hungry, we just tried out some mochi from …

Yoki’s Farm, Tagaytay

grace — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 01:26:11 +0000

During our Tagaytay road trip last week, we visited Yoki’s farm. It is a hydrophonics farm which uses mineral nutrient solution such as coconut husks to grow these lettuce instead of the usual soil. They distribute and sell these to restaurants within Tagaytay. We were a bit lost since it’s our first time to go there but …

Sonya’s Garden Restaurant & Country Bed and Breakfast is no longer a hidden paradise for some. But for those who still don’t know them, it is a place where you could see the beauty of nature, eat the freshest greens and experience a relaxing spa! For Php 610 (net) / person, you enjoy all you can …

Finally, the Akyat Pinatubo – Climb for a Cause activity pushed through last Saturday, June 4! I’m sorry for not posting pics from the trail because my dear brother accidentally deleted some pics! Good thing I still have these. We left manila at around 3:15am and arrived at Capas, Tarlac after 3 hrs. All tourists …
