Happy Birthday, Daddy!

Tagaytay

We left Manila around 9:30AM and got to Tagaytay around 11:30AM, just in time for lunch. We went straight to People's Park for our lunch picnic.

As always, Mom prepared our food, pork adobo, fried talong, quail eggs and tomatoes. Yummy! :-)

This was my lunch plate, I'm trying to limit my carb in-take. :-)

And of course, our out-of-town trip wouldn't be complete without food (of course!) and a photo shoot, :-) I'll post more pix in my multiply soon.

We bought buko macapuno (my favorite :p), espasol, turones de kasoy, bukayo from a 'guest' vendor while we were having lunch. :-) We chatted for like a few hours after lunch before we left People's Park.

I would wanna walk pa sana to sweat out all we had for lunch but they're in the mood, we had enough walking na daw. :-)

We then went to Tagaytay Royale, road trip and house viewing :-), it's some sort of relaxation for us.

Then off we went to Splendido to get some fresh air and guess what else?

P.h.o.t.o.s.!!! :-)

This photo of Mike and I was taken by Harree, he was in the mood to play with my cam.. so there!

Splendido's a really cool place, if only this is near my place, this would be my official escape hide-out, somewhere I can go to whenever I'm stressed... from different battles in life... hmmmm.. see? Nag-emote agad ako! :-)

Then we had dinner in RSM Lutong Bahay.It's fiesta once again, folks! :-)

Picture pa din, pauwi na nga lang! Iba talaga, tsk tsk tsk! :-)

It was a long and tiring day but it's still worth doing again. I'll never exchange this trip even with a triple-pay of my daily wage. ;-P

Hong Kong

First stop, Avenue of Stars.

Then off to Hollwood Hotel.

Late lunch (and some pic taking) at Club Mickey

This is one of my favorite pic, taken inside the elevator of Hollywood Hotel in HK Disneyland. Cool noh? :)

Walang kupas na entrance ng HK Disneyland (di pwedeng walang picture dito ang mga Pinoy na nagpupunta ng Disneyland!) :P

Monday, March 5

Happy birthday, DM! =)

Daydreaming :)

Too bad we didn't enjoy our Victoria Peak night tour because it was raining then so all we can see was fog.. and since I felt like I was in a freezer when we were in Victoria Peak, we then decided to have coffee in a nearby coffee shop.

Bye, H.K.! =/

Macau

Saturday, March 3, 2007

It's my first time in Macau. Nothing much to see, Casino's everywhere, but it's worth the visit. ;-) You can roam Macau for just a day or even half a day?

Macau is like an hour away from Hong Kong. We just took the ferry ride to Macau coming from Kowloon. Roughly PHP3,000 for a round trip, not bad, huh!

@ Senado Square (lotsa shops here!)

Outside Hotel Lisboa (and Casino :P) -- Yipeee! I won! ;-D

Singapore - Day 4

Last day in Singapore, of course, I spent the day with my relatives. We had lunch together in a chinese restaurant near the Novena MRT station (that's all I can remember). Thanks to my cousins, William and Aileen and how can I forget the super funny honey of my cuz Aileen (what's his name again?) hehehe, for joining us in Funan and some other super ok fashion shops, not to mention cheeeaaap for our last minute shopping. ;)

Thanks to Tita Yolly also who have been a very good host, as if my mom's also with me in Singapore. :) Promise I'll bring Mom along next time so you can chat all day, all night. ;)


I'll surely miss them...

Singapore - Day 3 - Esplanade

You haven't been to Singapore if you won't have pictures with the real Merlion in Esplanade Drive. :)

Singapore - Day 3 - Sentosa Part 2

Fort Siloso

This is my fave pic (of the thousands of pix we had :P) because:

The Merlion

Last stop is at the Musical Fountain. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take good pics.

We went home super tired but I would say, I really enjoyed this trip. Not because of Sentosa, but because I was able to get together with my friends after 6 to 8 years, gosh! I can't even remember the last time we saw each other. Some are already married and some, single and happy. :)

Singapore - Day 1

I had a 4-day vacation in Singapore last week. I left last Wednesday night, Oct 11 and got back to our beloved land :) Monday morning. I stayed at my Tita Yolly's place in Yishun Ring Road, it was really so nice of my tita and my cuzs to tour me around.

And these are a few of the first day pix. ;)

Summer Outing

I promised myself that I won't be going to beaches this summer -- simply because I don't wanna get a tan. I happened to be one of the chosen bridesmaids of my friend Gnet for her big day on July, few months from now and unfortunately, a yellow and green gown won't look good for a tanner! ;-) Arte! hehehe






But then, I can't miss out our family outing, it only comes once in a while, when all our scheds meet.. meaning, once a year! :) We went to Tarnate Cavite with my dad's group in Meralco and then we had our dinner at Tagaytay.

I just played with Photoshop so please bear with the not-so-artistic pix, I got inspired with digital photography because of the big day preps. ;-)
