Baguio 2009

Another place we intend to visit this year is Baguio. I am currently planning our itinerary for our June 2012 vacation and it includes at least 2 nights in Baguio. March 2007 was my first time to step in this cold city up north. Myself and daddy bee only had a daytour back then.Our 2nd visit was in February 2009 as our company outing. We rented a coaster and transient house for 2 nights stay. Here are some of the pictures of our Baguio 2009 visit.

just be careful coz its slippery in this area

Finally.....BORACAY

Oh! This post has been sitting here in my drafts since August 2011. So please forgive if some facts are no longer accurate as this Boracay visit happened last June 2011.

As part of our wedding anniversary celebration, this year we decided to go to Boracay. Since we've never been to this place so daddy bee and I agreed as early as February to look for good deals for a Boracay vacation.  Originally dad and I was scheduled for June 12-14 travel. And as usual we've decided to bring baby bennok and we thought of spending more days in the island will be a good way to spend our anniversary and vacation. And so our vacation was extended till June 17.

Practicing his parking skills at Terminal 2 boarding gates.

Pacifying the hyperactive baby.

I opted for the package offered by Boracay Regency, the REGENCY ESCAPADE that includes accommodation, full board meals and transfers, a stress free package. ;-)

As part of our Bicol Vacation this year, I personally decided to include the visit to Calaguas Island.  Originally I calendared Calaguas on the 3^rd day of April, which was a Tuesday. But our first days in JPANG were raining, our schedule was moved and I almost feared it won’t materialize. Plus the fact that I was quoted a whopping 5k for an overnight transfers to and from Calaguas which is way beyond our purses and our supposed companions are not sure if they are joining so I almost give up on Calaguas. Glad there’s a family scheduled to spend their vacation in what they call Calauat island. According to my cousin Calauat ang tawag nila sa Calaguas. I did not bother to ask why. ;-) I inquired if it’s possible that we just join their trip and they’ll just drop us at the Mahabang Buhangin then we will just take the public transpo the next day. At dahil mababait sila, syempre pumayag naman. 

So here comes April 6, Good Friday.

FULL OF LOVE

FULL OF LOVE

full of love
like a river overflowing
every space in my heart
is meant for loving you
should i have to tell you
your my life,my soul
my only one and all.

full of love
there's no room for any question
in my mind, in my heart
I'll just refuse to see
cause we're not meant to be
I'll just close my eyes
to very someone new

you can break this heart of mine
and still i love you
and though you love her more than me
still i need you
though you've hurt my feelings now
why do i need you?
that's the way i am
my heart is FULL OF LOVE..

 as promised in my balik sa bohol post, here are the images and some info from our bohol bee farm experience.

so here is our room, beehive suite #2. we were originally booked for a bungalow but upon arrival and getting inside the room, we decided to upgrade for a bigger room. actually i was hoping for a free upgrade coz based from what i have read also from online blogs, but unfortunately we were upgraded but with a fee. but it's okay, ill just hope that ms. vicky wallace of bohol bee farm would eventually gave us free room upgrade when we decided to go to bohol again. ;-)

auntie lola enjoyed her poses around the farm. well, she have that attitude of assuming unlikely positions in front of the camera. ;-)

 this is the view from the steps to the viewing deck.

SeCRet ReCiPe

 

it was May 2011 when Ensogo offered this Secret Recipe voucher. me, a self confessed always on a budget foodie, knowing that I am not good in cooking =D, wants to try new restaurant and new grub, immediately snaffled 2 vouchers of this. then came one Saturday of May, we just passed by SR Megamall branch and inquired if we can use the said vouchers without prior reservation. and luckily, after the SR staffs maybe convinced their manager, we were allowed to dine and use our coupons.

We ordered 1 serving of their bestseller singapore laksa; well, that was according to the attendant. The serving is good to be shared and daddy bee was impressed and gave his thumb of approval right after tasting the laksa. It is a spicy, tasting noodle soup.

 together with the melon shake as requested by daddy bee.

 since the laksa is spicy, we also ordered spaghetti bolognese for our baby bee. just to warn you, there was nothing to be raved about after eating their bolognese. as for me it was just almost the same as other's spaghetti. actually, my mom do cook the best tasting spaghetti for me and also agreed by dady bee. ;-)

 and this was my drink, lemon shake.

for the dessert, since Secret Recipe is more known for their cakes, and so we opted for chocolate cheese, being one of the most talked about cake of SR in the cyberspace. and truly, this was one of the reasons why anyone would go back to Secret Recipe.

as for the price, we were able to use our 2 vouchers to pay for our orders, so more or less it reached PHP1200. bit pricey and that's the good thing with these vouchers. ;-)
