Long Weekend part 2

Ok, so here's the official post. Hehehe.

My parents invited us to to join them over the long weekend at Canyon Cove in Nasugbu Batangas. We've been here a couple of times, and it is a good place to stay, with a nice shoreline plus a big pool for those who don't want to hit the beach.

It was a bit stormy, but nonetheless, the rains didn't stop us from enjoying our swim. In fact, we enjoyed it (a little too much) when rain indeed poured hard!

Look at the view from our balcony. Scary rains...

Of course, the little girl enjoyed...

While the oldies loved the camera. Hahahaha.

We had dinner at Dalampasigan, a famours resto nearby. This is a must go to resto when in the area!

The next day, the rains continued

But it still did not stop everyone from swimming!

*Sigh*

I love these kinds of weekends. Just spending time with the family, laughing, enjoying the food, enjoying nature, and enjoying the beach. I really wish we have a beach house. You know, relaxing away from the fat-pace life in the city. Wouldn't it be truly a wonderful life if after a hard week's work, comes weekend bliss.

Misibis Bay Part 2

Yes, so sorry I know I was supposed to complete my Misibis bay posts, but I kinda lost steam... I guess I got too saturated with all the pictures, stories, and conversations I had with both friends and relatives.

I guess I just have to compensate with a few more pictures...

Anyway, here are the things I thought of (to shorten my posts):

• this place really is heaven
• food tastes really good but I still find the prices too steep. 
• lots of things to do though you really have to set a budget for the motorized activities and trips (Sunset cruise, cave explorations, etc...)
• people are really friendly there
• floors in the villa are really slippery when wet
• it would be nice if there are trash bins around the place
• hopefully there will be a rest room in the beach area. had to go all the way to your villa if you need to go to and take a leak hahaha
• you should request for the Bicol Express for lunch (it's free if you have their buffet)
• love the ice candy they give around during the day
• hobie cat ride is the bomb. love love love.
• Mayon volcano will take your breath away. Sunset cruise is highly recommended

I will go back to this place. If you guys have the budget, then this place is a must-go-to place!

Misibis Paradise (Part 1)

I needed a good and luxurious vacation badly after unpleasant incidences in the office, and our Misibis vacation plan was really just on time. I don't have to say much about Misibis except that this place is heaven!

It is on the pricier side, but I tell you, for me, it was worth it. I even dare say that my experience there is much better than in Boracay! That or I must be getting old, because I really appreciated the fact that the place was really relaxed and serene. I loved their pool - it was kid-friendly and I had no worries about Eanna swimming by herself (with me of course, watching her!).

We were warmly welcomed by the people - I love them! They were so friendly, warm, and accommodating. Best of all, I really felt their sincerity.

THE ROOM
Let me start with the villa where we stayed. It was spacious, clean, and simple. Yep, simple but it was elegant!

I love this bay window - the sleeping area of Eanna. This was a stolen shot - I looked funny because I was smiling by myself. Hahahaha. Looney or googoogaga over the place!

The bathroom was very spacious, I wished I had a bathroom as big as that!

I really am easy to please. I love the bathroom! Only concern was the tiles can be slippery, so you gotta be careful. It would have been nice if good flooring was used, such as use of a mannigton laminate perhaps? love the bethroom nonetheless!

AROUND MISIBIS
Words cannot express the beauty o the place. So here are some pictures....

HK Trip 2011

Whew! I've just been back from our family HK Trip, and boy it was a blast. We stayed for 4 days and these days were so fully packed that when we got home, I could no longer move my feet... as if they just shut down completely hahaha.

Anyways, I'm still downloading our pics so I'll just update later on. Meantime, I'm going to post the measly loot I had.

Yup, measly. As in.

Why?

Because we simply didn't have time to walk around. This vacay was Eanna's - trip to Toys R Us, whole day in HK Disney, and whole day in Ocean Park. See, no time for shopping. Hmph.

Oh well.

See ya in a bit!

Baguio Trip 2011

Whew. Just got back from our Baguio trip, and though the journey took hours (5 hours one way!), it was soooo well worth it!!!

The little girl was so happy the whole time, referring to the house where we stayed her "winter house." Hahaha. It was soooo cold, but in a really nice way. We went to the usual tourist spot places such as Burnham Park, Wright Park, the Grotto, Tam-awan Village (Garden in the Sky), Strawberry Farm, etc ets.

The hubby and I also had a date night at the Manor where he treated me a lovely dinner... *Sigh*

Many stories to tell but I'm really tired right now. Pics to follow too, and probably a review on what we ate at Le Chef. All I can say is, thank goodness we pushed through with our trip. I would definitely love to go back to Baguio even if traffic is a major bi-atch hahaha. Wish I could always travel and experience other places (makes me want to check out Travel Jobs hahah).

Promise, more pics and stories to come. For now, I must rest. There's work tomorrow! Now that's another battle. Hahaha.

Long Weekends: LOVE

I know, I know, I'e been a very bad blogger ever since I started working, and made worse when the hubby came home for his vacation. I should make an effort to maintain blogging, because this after all, is my therapy for the longest time.

Anyways, just a quick update, our family has some vacays coming up, and we are really excited. This long weekend, we don't ave any plans, save for trick or treating in Powerplant and in our condo. Then, off to a day trip in Batangas on Monday to visit hubby's relatives. Then, probably just stay at home.

But, next week, we plan to go to Baguio! It's been a long time since I last went there... 2005 I think? Super excited! Hubby is conditioning our car already to make sure we'll have a smooth ride (don't know if he went as far as having an auto estimating software). Anyways, I'm looking forward to cooler and more laid back atmosphere. I hope Baguio's it!

Then two weeks after, we'll be in Hong Kong! Yipee!!! HK Disney will be on Christmas mode so that should be really fun for us, especially for Eanna! OCean Park is in our list too, had pre-arrangements already!

So, I hope these vacays are enough topics for me to blog about in the coming weeks. Wish me luck on that though!
