Random Thoughts

We wanted to avoid traffic on our way back to Manila so we went back immediately after we checked out at T House. We also wanted to try the restaurants in Nuvali so we decided to drop by and try Pig Out.

It was already past 1PM so we were starving! Good thing the service was fast and our food came immediately. We had, chicharon fried rice, grilled tuna belly and chicken noodle soup.

The food was really good. I'm glad we chose Pig Out. I'm also glad I ordered Kamias Shake after thinking twice or thrice. It was delish!

Our trip was short but still thankful for the opportunity to go out of town. I'm also thankful that my Dad and sister were available to watch the kids while we were out.

Here's to more trips with the Hubby! (*wink*)

I loooove breakfasts! That's why after our sumptouos dinner the previous night, I was so looking forward to our free breakfast at T House. I was expecting it to be gooood.

We woke up around 9AM thinking that it was still raining, we were surprised that it was just foggy. So what was those water dripping in the roof of our room for the whole night!?

Aaargggh!

Anyways, after we oredered our food, we were given these cute little complimentary breads. It was still hot! And were really good too!

I wanted more but I had to save a room for the main course! Hubby had beef tapa again, which he loved so much.


While I had corned beef with hashbrowns and eggs.



With freshly brewed coffee, it was a perfect breakfast for us! (*wink*)

At exactly 2PM, we arrived at T House and checked in.

I made a reservation a month ago and then I just presented the voucher I got from Deal Grocer. Although calling T House was such a hassle, everything went well after I was able to reserved through email!

We were then brought to our room which I found very small. :( I was expecting a nicer villa inspite of getting the standard room. Based on their rates (PHP4,830 for a standard room), I was really expecting a bigger room. But only got this...


A huge bed, a table and chair. That's it. Even the bathroom was just ok and nothing too special about it.


I remember our room from Casa San Pablo which has ALMOST the same size as our room in T House but the one in Casa San Pablo was way cheaper. I wonder if the bigger villas are better?

But, for T House's service and food, I would say these are EXCELLENT!

For our dinner, we had maki salad. Hubby had the baby back ribs for the main course, while I had salmon. Both are really good and unforgettable!



These photos didn't do justice to the food that we had. Sorry, I was just using my camera phone!

We had a nice dinner and were very happy with the service of the staff. And before we slept, they brought goodnight tea and cookies in our room.


Somehow the room was compensated with their good food and wonderful service! We would probably go back one of these days.

Coming up next: Our breakfast and a couple of photos outside the villa.

For more about T House check out their website.

After buying handmade soaps from Ilog Maria, it was time for lunch so off we went to Antonio's.

Breakfast by Antonio's is our ultimate favorite breakfast place. They offer breakfast all day from 8AM to 4PM. After traveling for almost 2 hours, I appreciated the place more and felt relaxed.


We took our time here and enjoyed our food. Hubby got beef tapa which unfortunately, he didn't like that much.

I, on the other hand, got sausage and eggs which I find very good.


I can't believed it took us more than an hour to finish our lunch. It was bliss! I was so thankful for days like this. I get to appreciate Hubby more. (*grin*)


We took a couple of photos outside then off we went to T House to stay there for the night.

I purchased another voucher from Deal Grocer months ago. I got an overnight stay at T House, Tagaytay. We were supposed to avail this voucher during my birthday weekend, but we got so busy that we only got to avail it last week. It was raining hard but still, we managed to make the most out of it and have fun!

We left Manila around 9AM after the kids settled down and left a couple of bilins. Yes, it was only us (Hubby and I) who went to Tagaytay for bonding and rest. We haven't done this for months!

Since I make it a point to explore new things every time we are in Tagaytay, I decided to check out Ilog Maria, Bee Farm. I wanted to buy handmade soaps too so it was a perfect time to check out the place.

I was surprised to see that the road to the shop was so narrow!


And look who was blocking our way to the bee farm?


The way to the bee farm was a bit long but we didn't have a hard time looking for it because there was only one way!


When we arrived, I was surprised to see an old building. Probably because I was expecting a tiny little dainty shop but I was wrong. LOL! I got what I wanted to buy though and I was a happy camper on our way back to Tagaytay City.

My Mom is moving to a new State so she asked me if I could look for someone who can fix her car. She's not leaving without her car fixed. I stumbled across motorhome repairs yesterday and check if it would be able to help her. She doesn't have an RV but a van that she uses everyday. I think Good Sam will be able to help her. She has to purchase a service plan first which includes a mechanical breakdown insurance. Nope, it's not a warranty. This means their plan complies with stringent insurance regulations. They can also say that their plan is backed by an A+ insurance underwriter, QBE Insurance Europe LTD in conjunction with Lloyds of London.

Sounds safe to me! Will definitely recommend this to my Mom!

Are you reaaaaaady!?

The Hubby had been waiting for this for months!

The cast includes: Captain America (Chris Evans), Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), and Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) join forces to fight the villain Loki (Tom Hiddleston).

We are so watching it on the first day! (*wink*)

How I wish I'm free this weekend so I could check out SM Megamall's 3-Day Sale...

It is happening on October 14, 15 & 16, 2011. Up to 70% OFF on selected items. The good news is that you can enjoy a hassle free parking at the 4th level, Building A on October 14 to 16.

We were invited a couple of weekends ago to celebrate Nathan's 7th birthday party at Active Fun, SM North EDSA. I've heard about this place when it opened (I think) last year that's why I've always wanted to check it out. I was ecstatic when Hubby's friend texted him that they were inviting us for his son's 7th birthday.

We couldn't wait!

The little girls didn't know where we were going, they only knew that we were going to a birthday party. That's why when they saw the venue, they were sooo happy and excited!

And, imagine their delight when they saw these...

If only they could spend the whole day there, but their time has to be cut off for a few minutes for the party!

The kids were called to watch the magic show, games, lunch, and candle blowing. I'm glad the little girls agreed!

As expected, they weren't able to eat much because they were itching to go back to the play area. So off they went...

And, guess what? We were the last ones to leave the place! LOL!

The food was just ok but the experience at ActiveFun was definitely the best! I love how the slides and the play area look really safe. There were attendants around the are to assist the small kids too. If SM North EDSA is not too far from our place, I would've set a party here for my girls. Oh well, maybe we can just drop by one weekend again so the kids can play again!
