Something, Somewhere

We just came from Lourdes Church, and we decided to go here and have our lunch since its near,  so we can also tick this off on our must-try list. Very famous as the restaurant of Jolina Magdangal's family, we decided to try this one out since we are just an hour and a half away from Tagaytay.   This place as I can say is really very homey, like what all the others are saying, a perfect type of restaurant if you are already in Tagaytay. No need for airconditoners, or electric fans (though they have one).  I read different reviews, and blogs before going here. Mostly all are negative that they do not like the service and the food. According to them, their waiting time usually takes an hour before their food arrives. So when me and the boyfriend went here, we did not expect that much already. When we arrived there, there were few customers, but one group is a bit big, so it looks like as if there are lots of people. With the perfect breeze in Tagaytay, this...

Hong Kong Trip on a Budget: We went to Hong Kong last November 21-23.; shortly after the APEC happened here in the Philippines. Our flight was 5:30am on Saturday. Thank goodness also our flight was not delayed. Cebu Pacific was our airlines then. We arrived at Hong Kong y 7:40am, it’s just a two-hour plane ride. The obligatory ticket and passport shot. Our passport cases are courtesy of Storage Solutions Okay, so here are the tips that I can suggest when you are a first timer in Hong Kong: 1. Exchange Peso to Hong Kong Dollars beforehand, or even right after you landed at the airport because you are gonna be needing it right then and there, especially if you plan to have your breakfast at the airport, or you need to buy your Octopus Card upon riding Bus or MTR. 2. When you are riding the bus, you sit next to the TV so you can track where you are already and what stop should you get down the bus. There is an operator who would sometimes speak the loading and unlo...

So me and 2 of my boss finished early in our meeting around Makati area, we expected it to last long so we payed for 5hrs parking. But in the end, we finished the meeting within 15mins. So we thought that instead of wasting the P90.00, we go somewhere near first, and then we spot the Milky&Sunny Cafe, There was also a Barenaked Sugaring Salon Branch there so my boss also decided to have a quick waxing. haha! As far as I read in their menu, the cafe was owned by the Magalonas, there are food in the menu that is even named after them like Elmo's omelette. Since its merienda time, and we don't plan to stay so long there, we just ordered milkshake and grilled cheese. All I can say is, their prices are worth it. Especially with their milkshakes. You can really feel the milky-ness of it. We tried their bestsellers. Vanilla for my boss, Chocolate for me, and Oreo chocolate for my other boss. Their milkshakes are priced P190.00 and their sandwiches are worth around P220...

So yesterday was me and the boyfriend's 33rd, and since it fell on a Saturday, we thought of celebrating. This is the first part of our celebration. We visited one of the becoming more and more famous nowadays museum, the Pinto Art Museum in Antipolo. The place was so beautiful and the paintings and art pieces for me are all very mysterious. If you are really into art, then you'll appreciate this place as much as we do. As you enter, you'll be directed straight towards the registration area where you should also pay the fee. P180.00 for the regular price and P100.00 for the student. When we got there the weather is starting to be in bad mood. The sky is already dark and the thunders are already roaring up there. Here are some of the photos that I can share to all of you. See for yourself how beautiful the place is. This is the second hall that we visited. There are a lot of art galleries in this place located in different places that's why th...

Thank God for the long weekend. Last June 13, is our scheduled date of trekking at Mt. Pinatubo. We were supposed to try it out at Tripinas but then we ran out of slots, so good thing there's Sonia Bognot's. Plus, it's a bit cheaper. We only have to pay P2,050/person. They just require a downpayment of P1,000 for the reservation of your slot. Here comes June 13. the call time is 2:30am at McDonalds Quezon Ave, we had to leave by June 12 at night.  We were just in time in the 2:30am call time. since we thought we're the first passenger, we leave first our bags at the van then buy something to eat at McDo. Our driver was so accommodating. He even let us sit in the passenger seat because we were only two. But then after we bought out breakfast at McDonalds, we were told that we are about to transfer to another van because the driver underestimated the number of passengers in his van. So here comes the second driver who assisted us to our seats on his van, it turn...
