The room comes with breakfast 🙂
Bread
And fresh fruit juices
And your choice of hot food 🙂 Again, it was so hard to choose from the menu
We wanted rice 🙂 So we chose from this page
Verbena Country Plate
I did not know what to order since everything looked good so I just asked the waiter what their bestsellers were and I just took it from there 🙂 So this is the Verbena Corned Beef

For our 18th anniversary, James and I went to Tagaytay to spend a night away from it all 🙂 We went to Discovery Country Suites and had a wonderful stay and it was a perfect way to celebrate
We try to go on non peak days so we do not compete with others in everything – room, food, etc etc – and it is much more peaceful
It was December 18, so the place was in Christmas mode. Being the former vacation home of the Tiu family, it is a very cozy home. So it is just like going to be a big house and staying in one of the rooms 🙂
You can rent the whole house for a family vacation, for a corporate retreat, for a wedding celebration – for a very reasonable amount
Welcome drink
The Resident Manager, Jonahs Virrey. Doesn’t he look like John Lloyd? 🙂 People here and abroad all approach him and wanting to have a photo with him thinking he is John Lloyd 🙂 Thank you Jonahs for taking care of us during our stay
Library of books, DVDs, games and video games which you can borrow
Our room was in the basement so this is like the family room of the house
Each room has a theme
We got Nara – which was Japanese. This is one of the biggest rooms in the house
Oh my gosh!! Our family photo! 🙂 Just like the Discovery group to add a personal touch to everything. Suddenly I missed my kids when I saw this photo! haha!!
Outside our room is the garden and there is a jacuzzi which you can use
In the lot beside, they are building a Starbucks
This is a photo of one of the rooms

I received this from my friend, Tisha Cruz- Bautista of Isdanco Foundation. Aside from her being busy helping people from Mindanao, she has organized this very interesting full day workshop with a good friend, Alvin Lim!
I am looking forward to attending this and reading her book! Everyone is invited to attend, please read details below from Tisha
Greetings from Arkeology, Inc.!
We are an organization dedicated to re-defining what it means to give: to ourselves and our communities through a “Campaign of Consciousness” by providing people with information and perspectives that will allow them to make better decisions towards living a happier life. Arkeology is all about Choice. It is about finding, discovering, sharing the best version of ourselves through programs and projects that promote a genuine awareness. We believe that LIVING fully IN this world but not BEING fully OF this world can truly change it.
In this regard, we offer the first of many speaking engagements.
Anita Moorjani is the best selling author of the book “Dying to be Me”(NY Times Best-seller and endorsed by Dr. Wayne Dyer) — an account of her remarkable near death experience and almost instant recovery from Stage Four Cancer (Lymphoma).
Her subsequent healing has remained one of the most amazing ever recorded in Medical History. Anita’s new found perspective on life, and death and her moving message of hope continues to bring such comfort to cancer survivors, their families as well as numerous followers. She inspires her audience to transform their lives by living more authentically, discovering their greatest passions and purpose, transcending their deepest fears and living always from a place of pure joy. Your life counts. It is meant to be good.
Entitled “Mapping Your Miracles” — Ms. Moorjani will be in Manila this January 2013. We will be holding two days of talks/presentations during her visit:
1) Saturday – January 26, 2013- 3:30pm to 6:30pm – at the RCBC Plaza Theatre
2) Sunday – January 27, 2013- 3:30pm to 6:30pm – at the Quezon Ballroom of the Makati Shangrila Hotel
We estimate a minimum of 250 participants per venue at a cost of Php2000 per ticket(for RCBC) and Php2500 per ticket(for Makati Shangri-La). The attendees are expected to be from a mixed demographic: all ages, all backgrounds, cancer-touched, cancer-free. We will have Ms. Moorjani’s book available for sale at the venue and subsequent book-signing on each day.
In addition, as part of one of Arkeology’s corporate HR programs, she will also conduct a full-day workshop for one of the foremost Filipino companies in the country. Incorporating real world concerns of the business industry she also address the following items: dealing with stress, practicing the right perspective, oneness, understanding the physical aspect of life and finding your ultimate purpose.
We feel that Anita Moorjani’s contribution to the well-being both physical and emotional of many in our community will be genuinely invaluable for those who are living with this disease and for those left behind. Hers is a message of oneness, of hope, of miracles. Help us change lives by choosing to support this endeavor.
Should you have any further questions, please call me at: (0918) 828 1000 or visit our website at :www.arkeology.org.

For Krie’s birthday last November, we had a different celebration. Chef Javs cooked our meal! Thanks to Chef Javs, Mom’s kitchen is actually being used 🙂 He loves staying with Lolo and Lola on weekends and no school days – and he loves to cook for them. Here is the kitchen as he prepares for dinner, I visited him to check on him but he does not like me to take much photos
One of Chef Javs specialty – Roast Chicken – I always tell him to cook the same thing over and over again so he can master a dish and be able to prepare it consistently all the time. So this dish he can do it well and really good 🙂
The family loves his beer battered fish and chips – especially Lola! This is always a special request!
Krie’s siblings – Troy and Candy – joined us that evening 🙂
Chef Javs!! Thank you for cooking for us!
Here is his dinner
