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...]

Meaningful Charm Bracelet, Cymplified!
I want to start collecting charms that describe me, tell my story, remind me of a special experience/milestone/event or something that makes me smile. I got this idea from @DaphneOP. I read the entry about charms from her site daphne.ph. I have not really started searching high and low (because I know I cannot afford the ones from Links of London), the idea was just floating in and out of my mind. Is there such a thing as a coincidence? It felt that way although I know that God directs every … [Read more...]
