Our first family minor trek at Taal Crater Lake in Talisay, Batangas was one of our happy and memorable experiences. Not that we enjoyed the scenic views, our kids immensely enjoyed the exciting adventure. Tired and hungry, my hubby treats us to a wonderful lunch at Balinsasayaw Chicken Grill and Restaurant in Silang, Cavite. I got so excited because this is another unique dining experience for the whole family.
Way home now after our company’s one and a half-day kick-off meeting in a retreat house in Tagaytay City. I was in a car with Joel, Mark, Faith, and Michael. Among the five of us, Michael was the lucky employee who won an award in our annual awarding ceremony highlighted the other night. Since it has a cash prize, we sweetly coerced him for a treat in Mushroomburger Restaurant which was located in Barangay Kaybagal a few distances away from where we’ve been. Continue reading
It’s my birthday today! And guess where I will eat my lunch today? It’s at Vikings Luxury Buffet Restaurant and it’s free! My kids did not want to be absent from school classes, so it’s me and my hubby who will indulge in a food adventure.
I’ve heard DJC Halo Halo and Snack Inn in Tiwi, Albay from my mother and friends who had tasted their creamy halo halo with their comment, superb! For our 2014 summer vacation in my hometown, I vowed myself dropping by here with my family. Aside from pili, pinangat, and chilly ice cream, Bicol has this cheesy halo halo that will complete your Albay getaway.
after so many summer vacations, finally, we’re here!
It’s Chinese New Year today and since it is a holiday, we will head off to Sta. Mesa, Manila to buy an electric acoustic guitar for our son Paolo. He was so excited to spend the money he received as a Christmas gift from his lola, aunties, uncle, and from us. But before we proceed, we will surprise our kids by having our lunch at Lau Chan Shabu Shabu and Fastfood along Mabini Street in Malate.

After a two-day adventure in our hometown in Albay, we’re off to Sorsogon, which is located at the southernmost part of Luzon. We’ve been to different places but we never chance to visit our neighboring province. Lately, I had this ardent desire to explore Sorsogon and finally, it was set this Lenten Holiday. We will visit Bulusan Lake in Bulusan and we will stay overnight at Rizal Beach in Gubat for water fun.
Welcome to Sorsogon, “The Land of the Whale Sharks!”
We woke up early to catch a sunrise photo of Boracay. But to our dismay, it was a gloomy morning. It did not dampen our mood and wishing that the weather would cooperate for our island hopping today. This is our second day on this beautiful island and we are looking forward to a happy adventure in what has been called, the beach capital of the Philippines.

La Mesa Ecopark is within La Mesa Dam Watershed. It is located in East Fairview Subdivision in Quezon City. Thanks to the joint partnership of MWSS, ABS-CBN, and Quezon City local government for turning this neglected area into a well-developed park which is now an ideal spot for communing with nature and indulging in healthful outdoor activities. This is a perfect getaway for a family or group of friends, especially on weekends.
Mama the Queen, the celebrant, and her happy smile
We left Manila around 5:00 am and headed to Subic in Zambales to celebrate our mother’s 59th birthday for a beach escapade in no particular resort. With our van, travel time took us two and a half hours only. It was almost 7:30 am when we arrived at Subic Bay Freeport. We all hopped out and walked around at the first resort we visited.
