trying to be sporty??

I didn't intend to try it but I love my friends that I got swayed into doing it anyway.

We are in a quick spontaneous weekend trip with no reservation or whatsoever. We don't even know what else to do except for their plan to do wakeboarding. First we checked out Nuvali.. and boy! It was full! So we ended up in Pampanga where we were hoping to book a room in Pradera Verde but unfortunately, with the event this weekend, it is already fully booked. Not to lose hope, we ended up staying in a bed and breakfast a few kilometers away from Pradera that we decided to just comeback in the morning for them to wakeboard.

For the night, we ended up having dinner in a neighboring Japanese restaurant and shopping snacks and drinks in the nearby grocery then settled for the night after hours of laughing and chatting. I really love these people!

And then the morning came.. and this happened! HAHAHA

It was fun indeed.. but still this will probably be my first and last after all those water I drank! Lol

going back to Paradise

Booked!! After 4 years, I'm coming back to see you again...

kuppa

After a night of drinking.. why can't the morning come in at later time? Coffee is the cure on all kinds of morning to me. Let's just say I need a  serving or two at the moment please...!

In for a good cup, we decided to go and try what Kuppa Roastery & Cafe has to offer.

What can I say? I'm simple.. Great coffee and awesome food? You just bagged me!

While their menu is not cheap, they make up for it with the servings, quality and presentation. Will definitely be back for more especially now that my office is in closer proximity.

rocking it or not?

I met with my girl friend to watch her guy perform. Her long time boyfriend is a drummer of a rock band and they are having a gig at a hole-in-the-wall bar somewhere in the south. I forgot the name! ahaha I'm so bad! I was able to watch some other performers as well. Some of the groups sounds great while some are too noisy for me. I'm not sure if I liked it but my friend and I moved some place else to have a decent conversation while her boyfriend stayed with his band and their partners back in the bar.

And this is more of my scene.. and while at it we had a better tasting food than back at the other bar.

Feeling adventurous tonight.. we even had balut! But I begged off it. I just can't! hehe

points for the effort ;)

An addition to my name-spelling-collection. Probably my fault since with the looks of it, he got confused whether it's an "I" or "Y".

2014 Recap

some touristy-stuff

We tried to do some touristy stuffs with the kids. With all the crowd of people around, traffic anywhere. at the least, we were able to check out the strawberry farm.

Then, we had a really late lunch.... in Sizzling Plate/Steakhouse place. Still more line and waiting.

Since after, it was decided to turn back and just stay in the apartment. We only went out to buy some take away for dinner. Then eventually, it was decided to cut the trip short and drive back home early tomorrow to avoid the traffic and all this nightmares with the crowds.

Baguio

We did not expect this hell of a traffic going to Baguio. Looks like everyone is set to spent the holidays in the City of Pines and now, everyone is jammed in the same traffic going there. The 5-6hrs drive became a whole day drive and there's no turning back. From sunrise to sunset we've been in the road.

A quick stopover for a break and dinner at a rest stop parking area of a gasoline station where, again, all people decided to stop, buy food and use the bathroom. Luckily, mom always prepare food packed enough for all of us to share.

We arrived late in the rented apartment.. just in time for me to log in for work.

Unfortunately, my network sucks big time! *sigh* Maybe it has something to do with a lot of people in the area is using it at the same time.

I just want to rest and go home and skip this crowd and traffic. =(

just the two of us

Just the two of us and missing our partner in crime we still pushed through with our annual Christmas night out.

Reserved a table at Straight Up Bar - another roofdeck resto and bar around BGC in Seda hotel. We are roofdeck obsessed at the moment or maybe, since forever! We just love the view.

Unfortunately, it was a rainy night. In between the time we had dinner and drinks we kept on moving in and out of the view deck area which is quite a hassle. We weren't able to settle down but we were able to talk a looooot! Drinks weren't that impressive and the food is just so-so. So yes, as much as we loved the view, we won't be coming back for more!

We didn't stay for long and just decided to spent the rest of the night at Starbucks near my former workplace in our favorite corner.

 

PEO: another year together
