HAPPY LONG DAY! Part 2

Last week, i just posted my first getaway (backpackers style) together with my best friend in Tagaytay. :)  And today, I'm going to post the part 2 or the 2nd day being there. On our trip that day, we started waking up 7:30 in the morning. The weather is so cool and breezy just right amount of sun and wind, you will feel the calmness around the place. When we finished our breakfast we immediately went to Good Shepherd Convent. 

Good Shepherd Convent is known for UBE Jam and sweet delicacies makers. They make the product manually. The place are huge enough to appreciate the beauty of the hill and the freshness of the air, thats why most of the people would go to that place is to relax themselves. The people around the convent  was very friendly too. It was overwhelming that day....  so if you want to listen to yourself by relaxing and just want to see beautiful scenery. I would recommend you this place :)

For our lunch, we proceed to Sonya's Secret Garden, it was a bit too far from our place (Tagaytay Inn) about 30-40mins ride from Olivares Plaza but the waiting is worth it. They have a mini buffet that you can customize with your favorite flavoring at your table served by waiter.  With complete set of meal from Appetizer - Main course - Dessert. And if you want to give yourself a break, Sonya's also is perfect for you. They offered variety of service from Spa massage to foot massage and for "Pasalubong" you might want to try their Panederia which sell lot of original recipe and freshly baked.

We taught it was not enough for one and half day to enjoy the stunningly amazing place that god created. We definitely going back in Tagaytay for quite sometime. 

***Love lots***

HAPPY LONG DAY! Part 1 :)

           Last Sunday morning, while sitting and partly :) listening to the priest in our local church. I suddenly, feel to go somewhere else outside Manila. I walked to a bookstore to explore where do i want to go, then it was Tagaytay, ever since i always wanted to go there so i took a map and planned these so quickly with my bestfriend (Aries).

Taal Volcano Tagaytay, City

         We left Manila last November 29, 2011  around 7:30 in the morning via Public Transportation bus and we got there around 9:30 to 10:30am. We are so excited at the same time confused because me and my bestfriend have no idea on how to get in our Hotel/Inn... from the main place Rotonda/ Olivares Plaza we walked 10mins to south of  TC.

Loumars Buko Pie

     Fortunately, we found a cozy place beside the road. A Pastries and Pie Coffee Shop called LOUMARS. We ordered a simple Kapeng Barako with cream and sugar together with Buko Pie Tart ( their specialty). The staff are very nice and accommodating and helpful to us.

                     And before lunchtime, we checked in and settled our things at Tagaytay Econo Inn. The place was just simply great for us. Its a little bit small but just right for us. Nothing fancy but you always feel at home. The staff was friendly especially Ms. Weng (Receptionist). We visited Pinic Grove and had lunch in Alamat Restaurant inside the the grove. After taking our moment in picnic grove we come to visit the famous People's Park in the Sky or Palace in the Sky. We saw a cool village that looks like virtual city (the games we played in the pc) Again, we stayed a little longer that the first because the air was so breath taking and calm. 4pm we starting to get down for our dinner.

            We proceed to Cliffhouse place located in Magallanes Square and we ate at Buon Giorno  and for the dessert we bought our favorite new store Mochiko (Fruit Ice Cream inside of Mochi- sticky rice). As we waiting our reservation, we saw a bug that we feel like "Taal Lake view is irresistible, even bug can see it"
