celebrating my birthday at Tagaytay

Tagaytay was been my favorite nearby place so Pie and I decided to have our breakfast and lunch here in our favorite place.

Bag of Beans

Bag of Beans is the coffee place to be in Tagaytay. A small cafe located just after the Tagaytay Public at 3650 Aguinaldo Highway, Mendez Crossing West, Tagaytay City. Here you will find the most expensive coffee that is proudly Philippines made! What makes this amazingly expensive is that the coffee beans are digested by the Philippine civet (a cat) which ferments the coffee beans and excreted as whole beans. If you did not get that, these are beans harvested in the civets waste by farmers in the wild forrest. It became known when it was tasted by Oprah who was surprised to know about the origins of this delicious coffee.

We are fond of the rich strong taste of the Baraco Blend. On every trip, together with hot chocolate and blueberry cheesecake. A bit of variety is always good.

Bag of Beans also their own Arabica Robusta Blend for Php235.20 for a 500 gram bag but for cheaper Coffee alamid it is also available at Aling Maria - a small pasalubong store known for their buko pie and cassava cake which is for 400 pesos one small plastic jar.

This is the escapade that I truly enjoy because we get to go some other place far from the polluted and congested city of Makati and Rizal.

My Maternity Shoot

Been into the photography for 2 1/2 years. I started photography for my family. When I started I don't know on what kind of photography I want. But now I'm doing portraits. Portraits to start a family.

But then just this year I'm planning to start other fields like wedding.... Let's see if I will succeed... hehehehehe

Holy Week @ Dakak

Looking forward for the holy week. I got our reservation fully paid. This will be the first holy week that we'll be spending not at our home. For the past few months been too busy so we all deserved this vacation.

Big school for my kids

Went to Assumption and inquired about the addmission's requirements for Prep. We found out that the age limit for PREP is 5 years and 6 months. So Keyanna should be in Kinder. They said that they are so strict in terms of age but we ask them to let my baby take the exam for prep and if she fails then we can't do anything about it. The registrar told us that if she passed the exam the committee will talk about it first.

March 15, 2008 Keyanna took the exam and during our interview Teacher Pau told us that SHE PASSED the exam for PREP and she really did well on the exam. I'm so proud of you anak!!!

Keyanna's Bloopers

1. Scene: Auntie Lay is playing her PSP. I forgot the game but it's for adults
Yndee: Autie pag big na ako pag may dede na ako pwede na ako play nyan?

2. Scene: I scolded yndee for not wearing her slippers so he ask her kuya to get her slippers for her
Yndee: Kuya pakuha nga slippers ko sa babay
Kuya: ok.. wait....
Kuya: Be ( shortcut for baby) nde ko makita eh.
Yndee: Hmpf! ako na nga! ( going down with heavy footsteps .. )

3. Scene: Celebrating new year's eve
Yndee: Tatay new year na... big na ako.. pwede na mag crush?

4. Scene: I will attend a party and ask my "BEAUTICIAN" to help me to be look alike of Beyonce. Yndee is quietly observing and she ask:
Yndee: Boy ka ba or girl?
Nanay: Beh girl sya
Yndee: ikaw din girl?

5. Christmas season and syempre this is the months for kids as they say "Kid's Month" or Kids's Christmas.. Every christmas Yndee has lots of gifts to open. This year 2008 medyo mas may isip na sya. Everytime she will open a gift she will read it out loud like "To Keyanna. Merry Christmas and happy new year! From Ninong/ninang" and then will say "Kuya I have a present again".


Will update and will try to remember all...

Valentines @ Tagaytay

Went to Tagaytay with kids for our post Valentine's celebration. We ate our lunch and merienda at Sonya's garden. Of course not a favorite food for the kids but they do have breads and cheese for them to love.. hehehehehe Honeypie doesn't like to eat veggie salad but sa kaswertihang palad kumain naman sya and guess what nabusog sya sa mga DAMO DAMO sa sonya's... After eating at sonya's as a reward to Honeypie we went to Bag of Beans which is one of his favorite place at Tagaytay... We went home with our favorite food Cheese Hopia from Sonya's and Cinnamon with raisin Loaf from Bag of Beans and Buko Pie and Kapeng Barako from Aling Maria

I just brought my baon and this Mango Torte from a bakeshop ( forgot the name but it's in San Jacinto in Pasig ). In the middle of C5 I was really hungry so I opened my lunch bag and foung this Mango Torte but then I found out I DON'T HAVE A SPOON! hmmm... I put it back and pretend that I am not hungry.. Pero di ko mapigilan!!!! I grabbed it and tasted it with my fingers... hmmm.. yummy... I just noticed na naubos ko na pala withnout using a spoon!!! YUCK!!! nakakahiya pero wala na akong magawa naubos ko na eh.. hehehehehe
