2nd Year Wedding Anniversary Celebration

It was our 2nd year wedding anniversary last 15th of December and to celebrate, we decided to go to Tagaytay. We left Marianna with Mama Wena and Tita Rio and its just the two of us who went there. We got there by bus and was able to check in the Taal vista hotel at approximately 3pm on the 14th. Swerte na din at nagkataon, there was a promo on the superior suite. It was normally priced at Php 6,500.oo/night but because of the promo to SMAC (SM advantage card) holders, we were able to avail the same room at Php 2,888.00. A room with a king size bed, a bath tub and a great view of the Taal lake, not bad huh?

From there, we had a quick snack at a near Mc Donald's place and head on to Picnic Grove and Peoples park. Wala kaming sasakyan kaya nag tricycle lang kami. Kinontrata kami of course, he asked for 500 pesos. We agreed and then we head on our way.


Zip Line at the Picnic Grove. Mark is willing to try this but not me. I'm not the adventurous type.
Kabayo nga ayaw ko sumakay e. Nagsawa lang sila kakaalok, he he.


Medyo gabi na when we arrived at the tallest part of Tagaytay, the Palace in the sky/Peoples Park.
Sooobrang lamig dyan. Ang lakas lakas pa ng hangin.

After this, we were able to stop by at a convenient store to grab some stuff then I insisted that we stop by BAG of BEANS and the MUSHROOM BURGER store to grab some food to take out for our dinner. Our tricycle service was gracious enough to take us there.


Blueberry Cheesecake and Caramel Machiado from Bag of Beans for Me

Royal Mushroom Burger for Mark

The next day, as suggested by Laarnie, a good friend of ours, we decided to go to Leslie's for Brunch.


We had Sinigang na hipon, Sizzling mixed seafoods and Leslies Special Turon for dessert.

We ate here in the resto's "kubo type" dinning area

After checking out from the hotel, i insisted to go to Sonya's Secret Garden to buy some of its famous Parmesan Cheese hopia.
Taken at Sonya's Panaderia. We bought some hopia and kapeng barako for mama. I also bought a pot of basil and mint plants.

I just can't resist not having my picture taken in this set up.

We're very fortunate that we had the chance to celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary together considering hubby frequently leaves for work.
Sweetie, having you with me, during this special time means a lot to me more than anything.
Looking forward to more anniversaries to celebrate.
You and Marianna means everything to me.
I love you always.

Leslie's Special Turon

LESLIE'S SPECIAL TURON

We had this for dessert when we ate at Leslie's in Tagaytay (Php 175.00).

I was expecting finger food turon and what we had were 3 extra large version of the ordinary turong saging. It has lots of langka. I presumed that the bananas were pre boiled before it was rolled with the lumpia wrapper and fried. Topped with condensed milk, langka, sesame seeds and cherry halves, they are really a must try if you happen to pass by Tagaytay.

This is may entry for FOOD FRIDAY for this week

Happy eating and Have a great weekend ahead

TACO BELL'S NACOS BELL GRANDE

This is my entry for FOOD FRIDAY for this week.

We had a quick bite at Taco Bell's last week while on a mall trip at Trinoma.

I had the "Nachos Bell Grande" (Php 119) and hubby ordered a Beef burrito (Php 89.00). We both had bottomless iced tea ( Php 59.oo ea) and had it filled up again to carry it with us as we continue malling.

The Nachos are worth every penny. It tastes really good.

Have a great weekend everybody. Happy eating :-)

Sampung pisong kaligayahan

Yan po mga kaibigan ang sampung pisong kaligayahan ko nung sinakay ni Mark si Marianna sa cowlike contraption na ito sa isang grocery/mini mall malapit sa amin. Sa halagang P 10, nasiyahan ako sa pag kuha sa kanila ng litrato gamit ang aking cell phone kaya naman kahit na may kalabuan ang mga kuha ko ay malugod at masigasig ko itong pinapakita sa inyo. Talaga nga naman di mo matutumbasan ng salapi ang tunay na kaligayahan.

Twilight Saga : New Moon

Mark and I watched New Moon last Monday at the Robinsons place ermita movie theater. The last time I went out to see a movie is also with him and its Twilight. Im predicting that the next time we'll get to see a movie again is for the 3rd installment of this book series. Anyways, i would say this is better than the first one. Medyo bitin lang ako sa mga fight scenes. I kept on waiting for Victoria to attack Bella, pero nabitin lang ako. I don't read the book kaya I can't really say if the movie adaptation is lacking. What I can say is TEAM JACOB ako, he he. Taylor Laughtner here is so buff and beautiful as Bella said. I was wondering why I was so mesmerized by Edward nun sa Twilight. Nawala appeal nya sa kin nung nakita ko si Jacob dito. Lampayatot sya and maputla (vampire effect) unlike Jacob na very musculine and well-built. Oh well, kakasal na si Bella and Edward next and we'll be watching again to follow this movie franchise up to the end of the series.

Missed blogging

Grabe. Isa lang entry ko ng November ! I have been busy with work, being with hubby and baby, doing chores (mostly cooking) and playing cafe world and country life(nauubos oras ko dito). Enough of these excuses. I have to give atleast 10-20 minutes a day for my blog. Its already December, my goal is to make at least 15 entries for this month. Wish me luck. At sipagin nawa ako.

Marianna's First Trick or Treat

Last Saturday, we went to Sm north edsa for Marianna's first trick or treat. After lunch na kami nakapunta at siniguro namin na ok na panahon.

Kuha namin ni Marianna sa harap ng Toy Kingdom.

Dun na din kami bumili ng pumpkin na lalagyan nya ng candies.

She dressed up as a fairy. Set yang outfit na yan nung binili ni mark with skirt, wand, wings tska headband. Yung wings tska wand lang nagamit nya kasi ayaw nya suot yung headband tapos di ko na din pinasuot yung skirt at di naman kagandahan.

Silang mag daddy sa may stage sa baba ng the Block. May activities mga bata pero di na kami nakisali. Nag picture picture na lang kami.

Kuha namin sa Face shop. Ako ang nanghihingi ng candy at nag sasabi ng "trick or treat". Nag iikot lang kami para mag pa picure, he he.

Yan yung last picture namin na hawak nya yung wand nya. Nabitawan nya kasi at di ko naman napansin na nalaglag na pala. hay ....

Yan ang laman ng lalagyan nya. Konting candy, lapis tska sabon. Yaan mo anak, next year, cacarerin na natin yan talaga. Pati si mommy mag cocostume para panalo, he he. Di bale, nag enjoy naman kami at natuwa naman si Marianna kasi nga madaming bata. Next year for sure mas matutuwa sya at kasama na sya sa mga tatakbong mga bata.
