I love my family!!!  We find every reason to celebrate and get together!  That’s why we never run out of reasons to be happy and to become closer to each other!! 🙂  We celebrated the Holy Mass as always and we had a short program before dinner.  The birthday celebrant, Mio, played the drums – listen to all his fans ( his cousins! ) cheer for him

By | Green, Travel | 3 Comments

When in Tagaytay, I try to make the most out of my visit – One of the places we went to was the farm of my friend, Arlene Sanchez-Maslog!  This is the rest house of her Dad and Mom at the same time there is a farm for the plants of the Mom

Wow!! This is a serious hobby of my Arlene’s Mom!  As you enter, there are rows and rows of greenhouses!

blooms-avenue-032.jpgblooms-avenue-04.jpgblooms-avenue-05.jpgblooms-avenue-06.jpgblooms-avenue-07.jpgblooms-avenue-03.jpg

We stayed here for a day and one night and we did not have to go anywhere else to eat!  They had a great offering we could not resist 🙂  

 verbena-christmas-special-01.jpg

We were there on December 18, before Christmas, so they had a special Christmas menu!  We had a wonderful stay at Discovery Country Suites
