It's our annual staycation! We would have gone to Bataan but I was baffled at the pricing provided for us plus it's quite hot. We will go there though, probably after the summer. I was advised by officemates that there is a long line at the counter. It wasn't when I came but it just took them a long time to assist a guest. When we were up we we're unfortunately told to wait since our room is not yet ready. It was such a long wait that my phone is almost drained when our key cards we're handed over to us. The room is not jaw dropping but I am digging the color scheme. All browns and muted. Everything has it's storage, even the mini ref and bar is inside a cabinet! The beds are firm as I want it to be and even if they have already provided a good number of fluffy pillows, there's still a pillow menu! I got Igusa and Reagan, Kapok (?). Mine is a hard long pillow that I enjoy resting my head on. The faint smell of grass and the support of my neck is welcoming. R...

I have gone completely mad. I have become what most girls are like with their male celebrity crush-- They love them. Like stalk all their social media-you can't help but swoon phase. I'm even posting a confession blog damnit. I do have a lot of crushes but not to this same level. I literally have to find AND LIKE all the pictures of his on those social media accounts* I found and find myself grinning silly at the photos and GIFs posted all over the internet.  I mean look at this handsomeness** here And here I am retweeting his GIFs: I fondly recall how in the last episode of Sense 8 I was hanging on to his every word (especially that scene with his character Wolfgang and his co-actor, TINA who plays Kala). My mouth was agape, my heart beating too fast. What the f*ck is going on with me?!! Ok so obviously it's impossible for us to meet, but I don't know how I would react if it's remotely happening in the future. I mean, there are no plans of me going to Germany for t...

*Before you get all worked up, I don't think that's officially what it's called but I would just name it like that anyway. To the uninitiated here's the 3 books: To All The Boys I've Loved Before (2014) P.S. I Still Love You (2015) Always and Forever Lara Jean (2017) The first book have all the elements for a producer to green light this for a teenager romcom. It even had a good hanging ending which will encourage you to read the sequel. I'm not much of a fan of romance novels but it's hard to dismiss a novel that is not even 300 pages and easy to read, hence when I finished the first book I really must know if Lara Jean truly chose Peter. ...which she did on the sequel and that's pretty much it. The rest of the book was meh. Everything I liked about the character of Peter was stupidly torn down by a weird reason (he kept on going back to his ex) and surprise surprise: a love triangle with yet another handsome blonde (Question: if Lara Jean was able to c...

First thing I did after turning off the A/C! (Oh hey I have too much time to even add a watermark!) Like I said earlier, our breakfast at Destination Hotel WAS AMAZING. It wasn't your typical silog. I might book one just to get another amazing breakfast. ( I'm not sure if I could replicate this matte look hmmm) + Picnic Grove + Entrance 50PHP each | Fare from Terminal 11PHP each (?) I was hoping we could have been there earlier but it took us a while to prep. Because of this, that Tagaytay breeze is nowhere to be felt. We walked around the park and at this early, we would have tried the cable car but was told they're still waiting for their techs. We figured the sun would be harsher if we waited. It rained the night before so it's a bit annoying that they didn't think of cleaning some part of the wood planks that are extremely muddy. When we reached the cottages some of them even have mud on the seats! Speaking of the cottages you might think that with that rental o...

One good thing about this not bringing a car thing is we've learned where the terminal is. This is the only starting point we needed to remember since all of the jeeps know where it is. The jeep's signboard has People's Park on it (it's the last stop too) which helped us get to the Park and Picnic Grove the next day. + People's Park (In the Sky) + Entrance - 30 each | Fare - 17 each It's an hour before 5pm (our target for leaving in fear that we might not have any ride home) but visitors are still aplenty. A good 20 minute or so I realized how a ripoff 30 PHP is. I haven't been here for a long time already and yet I see no improvements, if anything it had gone worse. It smells, everything is in much more ruins than before and the vandals are still not repainted over. I wonder where the entrance fees goes? I haven't taken too many shots because it's terribly disappointing. In my head I have this fantasy that maybe if I get to be filthy rich someday I...

It's a bit funny that in my entire years of living in Cavite I haven't fully explored Tagaytay, let alone go there with the boyfriend. The first and last time we've been together were when we went to a wedding of a friend of mine. I've already missed going somewhere during the long weekend last Holy Week, and I don't want to get another long weekend alone so we planned a quick one at the nearest one we could go to without much preparation. One major thing though: we didn't have a ride. Reagan doesn't want to take Yuna anymore due to the odd elevations and I still refuse to bring our M/T car. Now that's a first. I literally have no idea to get around Tagaytay without someone to drive me around. + Destination Hotel + There are tons of available hotels even with the long weekend (I only booked Friday) but I chose to get the one nearest the rotonda. It proved an amazing choice because it's easy to go around on all sides of the highway. PROS: Walking di...
