Anniversary Surprise



It came as a surprise. Saturday, June 11 was supposed to be just another weekend for us, staying with ate Joy and her family. We attended an event in the morning when she told me to get ready because we are going to Tagaytay for an overnight. At first, I thought we would just be sharing a family room, since this "biglaang-lakad" was very unplanned. But then, the manager of the hotel that we heading to texted her that we would be in a separate room and that it is ready and apologized for the double room she was placing us. I'm like, " what? why is she apologizing? She's giving us a big favor and she's saying sorry? ".

It was one of the greatest anniversary gift for Waldy and I. We've been to Tagaytay many times, but this was our first overnight stay! We were so excited to see the place, and boy it's amazing! View Park Hotel has one of the amazing view of Taal lake. Its not easy to find since the place sits just across Picnic Grove.

I think, the room we stayed-in that night was their double-room. Like all hotels, its equipped with a phone connected to the reception, a cable TV, hot and cold shower, etc. I loved that the bed smell so good that I immediately felt the need to sleep since I only had 2 hours of sleep the other night. I also love the fact that the place has a serene vibe, even though it is located near the highway. the noise of the vehicles passing by never bothered us.

We also enjoyed swimming in the pool which I expected to be cold since hey, its Tagaytay and the weather is always cold right? But surprisingly, the pool is warm enough that even my toddler swam for almost 2 hours, We were also given complimentary breakfast buffet of traditional Filipino almusal such as sinangag, daing na bangus, tapa, longganisa egg, coffee and some western dish like pancakes, toasted bread with jam and fruits. Our belly was so full that we skipped lunch that day.

Thank you so much View Park Hotel for having us. It was such an wonderful experience and a very amazing anniversary gift that we enjoyed so much!

The finest wine.

They said that men are like fine wine, they get better in time. I couldn't agree more. Being with Waldy for almost 7 years is not too long compared to others, but I can definitely say that this simile definitely applies to him.  2016 was such a challenging time for the both of us in all aspects of our lives. I've seen him struggle with personal issue and his career. I've been with him on his downest moment and still is present beside him today as we face a new year full of hope and renewed goals. It wasn't easy, but its all worth it. Seeing him commit mistakes and get back up after being down doesn't make me a better person than him, but it made me realized that I am also brave and strong. Because it takes a lot of courage and faith to hone a great man. As the other saying goes : " Every great man is a great woman. " So, I guess I can say that its a win-win for us. As we move along with life, we mold each other into a person th...

With Great Fashion Comes Great Confidence

Gone are the days when I used to fit in Small or Extra Small clothes. Nevertheless, I still consider myself a fashionista. At 32, I learned that confidence doesn't just rely on measurements. It comes with maturity, loving and knowing yourself and the body you have right now. Having two children, I learned that motherhood is never an excuse to let yourself go and not get all dolled-up and dressed-up from time to time. Aside from that, being an Independent Beauty Consultant, gives me a sense of responsibility to set an example and to make other women feel important and beautiful. To teach them to embrace their best assets and be proud of themselves. " You need to walk the talk in order for you to lead."
