Lunch Date @Bali Seafood Paluto, Tagaytay City

After being exhausted hosting our annual company awareness, which we normally do in Tagaytay City, hubby and i looked for a comfy place to indulge ourselves with a simple late lunch treat. Since lutong bahay has always been hubby's fave, i led him to this seafood resto my friends and i visited before.

The place defines a homey ambiance where you can patiently wait for your order. Yes, patiently wait talaga, coz despite its coziness, an tagal naman ng service nila. =(

...and maybe that's one of the reasons why they strategically designed the place into pleasant, relaxed and simple one. What i liked most about the place is the privacy of the dine-in experience in kubo-kubo. I also learned that they have bayanihan dancers every Saturdays and Sundays.

Tthe customer service naman has never been a problem to us. In fact, one of the waiters assisted me to charge my lowbat camera, which we really appreciated. :-)

Ayun oh, at nakapag photoshoot pa. hihi

For our late lunch, we had sinubga platter which consists of tilapia, pork, chicken, sugpo, pusit, tahong, talong, mangga and bagoong. Yes, kami na ang gutom! :-)

Whoever is not a fan of sisig would definitely be missing half of their lives. haha (exag mode lang)

Turon sana for our dessert, unfortunately, its unavailable. So fruits for dessert was just fine with me.

Our total spending, around P1,090.00

The place for me is surely a come back.

Special Candles

Thank you to the four best friends I have ever known. Your special greetings made my day truly special, sincere and heartwarming. To you Chelle & Joyee; Joan & Mylene, thank you so much for always being there at my side. Our shared thoughts and insights made me who i am today.

I know things had been very rough for us. Our relationship is broken beyond repair. But that was then. My envisage is changed - Ruin is a gift. Ruin is a road to transformation. Rest assured that i'm always here no matter what, even it would mean heartbreak and pain...Loosing balance for love sometimes is part of living a balanced life. So, thank you Dad.
(Eat, Pray, Love)

The only thing permanent in life is family. Thanks to my two beautiful children, to my Mom, and to every member of the family. You are truly a God's gift to me.

I know all wishes do come true...most especially if it's your birthday...

MEET RED

Everytime my friends and i see or encounter something RED, they/we associated it with me. Coz, REd is one of my fave colors. Red coz it represents many things - from passionate Love to strong Power, from joyful season of Christmas to Feng shui definition of luck and happiness. But this time, id like you to meet a different kind of RED...

RED is the 5th generation of the Lancer family and is also known as "Singkit" (because of its almond-shape headlamps and turn signals); coz the look is also similar with the eyes of East Asians and is perfect for my chinky-eyes too. (hihi)

I enjoyed the first time i spent with RED. Together with hubby, i was able to get to know more about RED - the specs, the function, the skills i need to work on to make RED and i perfect for each other. I am looking forward to finally be in the driver's seat and taking control of RED. Btw, i have this 2 hrs driving lesson to RED with hubby ever other day. I hope to finish the course in a month (haha, good luck sa akin).

Im so glad to finally acquired RED

One Great Mom (A Father's Day Special)

Maybe you are wondering why am i thinking of my Mom, wherein celebration for the Father's Day is just 4 days from now. It's exactly what's in my mind. Father's Day is coming and yet, i still dont have any entry about Mother's Day =) (hehe, just kiddin'). Seriously, i intend to commend my Mom on this Father's Day celebration coz she became not only a mother to seven but a Father too, when my Dad passed away 14 years ago. ..

Im not that close to Mom. In fact, i was even closer to Dad. I really dont know how to deal with Mom, knowing that Dad is not around anymore. We dont have any unresolved issues or problems or what so ever. Its just that i feel that im not the perfect daughter. Im also not the fave one. Im hard headed and stubborn, but if there's one thing i can be proud of to myself, is that, im reliable - which i know for sure, i inherited from Mom.

The 'Light of the House' eventually became the Head of the Family. I never expected that Mom has such a great strength that all of her children would admire. The traits of a respected Father, such as Dad, you'll find in Mom. She has been a good provider for the family. We're not living in luxury, but all the things a daughter could asks for, she provides it - good education, spiritual and emotional guidance, and trust to name some. Mom also has its strict side - we're not allowed to go on gimmick without her consent. I do not understand this when i was in the peak of my adolescence, but when i started to have an own family, im beginning to realize that this was for my own good.

Our closeness began when i got married and when she had her 1st grandson to me. I started to appreciate her more being a Mom. She's always there for me. When i struggle on my marriage, she did not leave me; instead, she embraced my weaknesses and still loves me unconditionally. We still have petty misunderstanding though, but we managed to resolves it maturely. Im so proud to have a great Mom like her who dedicates her time and life for us, and yet still manage to balance her spiritual and personal life. I wonder where she got all her strength to do both - being a Mom and Dad for us all the time.

If i were to be asked what's the best advice my Mom gave me, i would say that its too many to mention. But i can tell to the whole world how lucky and privilege i am to be loved perfectly and completely by my ONE GREAT MOM, and at the same time, always feel the presence of my Dad in her. I love you Mom. Belated Happy Mother's Day and Advance Happy Father's Day. :-)

Mom, you deserve more than this, but for the meantime, enjoy your favorite cake :-)
