We went on an overnight swimming trip at Keni Po, Tagaytay City last Wednesday together with the whole family. We originally wanted to do it on a weekend but Keni Po's rooms were all fully booked already. We called them last weekend and inquired about a family room and they suggested the Villa where the room accomodates 6 persons for P3500. Excess person's charge is P200 without matress, extra matress costs P100. The Villa's amenities were bathroom with hot/cold water, aircon room, an attic, sala, dining table, kitchen with ref, stove and utensils and 3 TV's with cable. We thought it sounded good so we already reserved for it without even sending a down payment! Come Wednesday, my companions already prepared to go at Keni Po(I was about to follow them in the evening after I ... read more

When you feel so stressed that you become so problematic of it, why do you have to be so patient in dealing with it? You are just leading yourself towards Self-destruction. My best advice to you would be to escape, run and recharge yourself even for a while then come back with a stronger and better “YOU” to face all of your daily problems and stressors which is a part in the Cycle of Life. And that quick escapade that I’m suggesting to you is very affordable and it’s just 45 minutes away from the metropolitan Manila City, the Capital of the Philippines… It is ISLAND COVE in Kawit, Cavite. It is literally a separate Island from the main road where it is connected by a concrete bridge. For me, this is the ultimate vacation ... read more

I'm new to this place and in fact the only reason I ended up here is because I was researching about a place from my own country. Please do visit my other blog as well: http://itsmyblag.blogspot.com/ It's just a new baby and I'm planning to nurture both blogs (this and that other one). Hope to get feedback from other bloggers as well. And if you need translation I'd be more than happy to help you. ... read more

Our yearly Thanksgiving Party were held in this private resort in Silang, Cavite. We reserved an overnight stay there for some of my co-workers who planned to stay for the night. Hannah and I enjoyed the party with lots of games and food and there were also a talent contest that were judged by our bosses. We used their facilities such as the mini stage, kitchen with gas stove, nipa hut with bedrooms, videoke, swimming pools and 2 air-conditioned rooms. I really cannot remember how much each of us paid but if you wish to check out this resort, they have a website: Villa Jon-She Private Resorts... read more
How to rapidly die at the summit of a mountain

If jumping off the edge is your answer, you're wrong. Big time. Answer? Being sweaty on a treeless mountain summit (and using a mobile phone) in the middle of a brewing rain and peppered with lightning and thunder. We were on the summit of Mt. Pico de Loro waiting for the rest of our climb mates to get back from scaling the rocky, vertical mountain's "beak". There was not much to see and do as thick fog and grey clouds hid almost everything. Yla was ruminating by herself. My cousin Hazel and I were taking pictures at a lower area. And Estela was speaking with someone on her mobile phone. On top of the mountain. Really. "What was that?!" shrieked Estela. Estela and Yla all suddenly freaked out. Static electricity jolted them. Thunder filled the air. ... read more

"Do you remember passing through this trail?" I asked wondering why I don't remember walking through a wide rocky trail. 'I'm not sure' stare. We went on. "What are these cobwebs doing here? Are these mountain spiders really fast with making webs!?". I felt more cobwebs constantly on my face later on. "The soil feels unfamiliarly soft", Janet added. We went on. "This fallen tree doesn't look familiar, does this look familiar to you?" A shrug. We went on. "There are piled bamboo poles at the side of the trail ahead! I definitely don't remember those!", I exclaimed. That did it! We were lost. It was a long weekend so we decided to do a one-day climb up Mt. Pico de Loro and do camping at a beach somewhere the next day. We hired a taxi ... read more

I have always heard of Tagaytay from my friends in Manila. From their stories, I imagined that the place must have a climate similar to Baguio, the so-called summer capital of the Philippines. Though I have been invited by my friends to visit Tagaytay, for one reason or another, I was not able visit the place. Then, finally, on 15-16 April 2010, an opportunity presented itself. After spending four gruelling days in Manila, I was able to adjust my travel itenerary and had a sidetrip to Tagataytay. Crowded Bus, Plying Heavy Traffic I checked-out from Orchid Garden Suites along Vito Cruz (where I stayed in the last few days) at about 7:30 in the evening. I was suppose to check-out earlier but was delayed because I have to wait for a friend to get the Krispy ... read more

So we called Island Cove to make a reservation and luckily there were available rooms eventhough we didn't reserved in advance. We reserved their Hotel Deluxe room which is a 2 Queen Sized beds with veranda and a bath tub for I think around P3000 for an overnight stay. After reserving, we together with our kids and yayas immediately packed our bags and hired a taxi to get us there. We just checked in at the right time coz we arrived there a little over 2pm so we just put our bags in our room and took a quick nap then we decided to get ... read more
