This was my last hurrah for the summer of 2014. I went to Baler in Aurora with my hubby and the kids, together with hubby's side of the family tree. A bus was rented and we were on our way on a 5-hour trip to the eastern part of Central Luzon. Before arriving at the place where we'll be staying, we stopped by a park where one of the biggest Balete trees of the country was located. It's called Balete Park. The kids got to see a 600-year-old tree! There were people climbing the tree when we … [Read more...]
Family Day Out: Cliffhouse, Tagaytay, Cymplified!
For a city-dweller like me, there is a need to escape the smog and noise. One of the places I like to go to that is a bit near, has fresh air and cool weather is Tagaytay. The places I have visited in Tagaytay are Tagaytay Highlands, Canyon Woods, Palace in the Sky, People's Park, Picnic Grove, Sky Ranch, a little of Summit Ridge and Mushroomburger. Honestly, I don't know whether People's Park is the Palace in the Sky or the Picnic Grove. What do you think? Cliffhouse, Tagaytay I have read … [Read more...]
Family Getaway: Pico de Loro Experience, Cymplified!
I guess I was longing for a summer getaway, that's why I found myself gushing and sighing over the Instagram photos taken at Pico de Loro by Martine. Or maybe I just wanted to head to Pico de Loro. Thankfully, someone close to my hubby, Rix, has a unit in one of the condominiums there. So, we found ourselves heading to our second destination for some summer fun one afternoon. Since we will be staying at a condo unit, we needed to maintain the cleanliness of the place and bring our own … [Read more...]
Family Getaway: Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar, Cymplified!
Our first summer family getaway was to Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar. I have to warn you that this is a long and photo-heavy post. One sunny Wednesday, we drove to Bataan to visit Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar for an overnight stay. We arrived right before lunchtime after being in the car for around three hours. It helped to have a printout of the map to the place. Checking in was a breeze as I have already paid for the room reservation using credit card. I also printed the confirmation … [Read more...]
Family Day Out: Fish, Nuvali and Tagaytay, Cymplified!
Thank God for Rix who went with the flow of my whim to visit Nuvali, Laguna. I have long wanted to visit the place. My family of five plus two helpers trooped to the South and got some sun while we fed the perpetually hungry fish. We also rode the boat for a bit of adventure. They have a trail for bikers, too. I wish I had googled the things to do in Nuvali and visited the exhibit there. I have just been reading about feeding the koi fish and mainly enjoying the outdoors with children. Then, … [Read more...]
