A Short Trip to Tagaytay + Jeepney Pinoy Resto = Freezing Saturday

 Last Saturday (3rd Day of March 2012), with nothing to do and with no other place to go...Hubby decided to have a short trip to Tagaytay. We left the house at 4pm to avoid the scorching heat of the afternoon. We arrived at Picnic Grove Tagaytay at about 6pm and we didn't expect that the weather will be freezing cold. We just had a stroll with the kids and watch the beautiful Taal Lake and the colorful kites. Our kids really enjoyed the place, the weather and the fresh air. Our daughter was so happy to see lots of horses...it's her 1st time in Tagaytay and also her 1st time to see real horses.

My charming daughter Khloe...enjoying the cold weather.

But the wind is getting colder and we didnt have our jackets so we decided to leave and have our dinner at Robinson's Summit Ridge Tagaytay. We then tried Jeepney Pinoy Resto, since it's new to us plus the menu prices are very affordable.

I'll be back to try this unlimited coffee and cakes.

Jewel's Christening at Sariaya, Quezon

Today (22nd of October 2011) we went to Sariaya, Quezon to attend the 1st birthday and Christening of Jewel  (Daughter of Hubby's Messenger). It was held in one of the old ancestral house in Sariaya which was converted into an events venue place. It was a three hours drive from Las Pinas, glad we didn't encounter any traffic along the way, but we still arrive a little late.
