Tagaytay Day 1: Sonya's Bed & Breakfast

My siblings and I planned a trip to Tagaytay for our parents' 25th anniversary. We stayed at Sonya's Bed & Breakfast as per my mom's request, and got the biggest cottage, the Lavender Cottage (more on this on my next post).

After checking in, we took my parents to Qi Wellness for a surprise spa treat. They were caught completely by surprise! I booked them for a 3-hr Quick Escape package which included a 60 minute use of bath house facilities (pools, steam, shower), a 30 minute foot reflexology, and a 90 minute massage. They loved it!

After the spa, we headed back to Sonya's for our dinner. Everyone enjoyed the healthy dishes, especially the salad greens that were freshly harvested from the garden. We then went back to the cottage which was just a few meters away from the dining area and presented our gift to them -- a portrait of the two of them during their wedding hand drawn by my sister! We've been planning this for months and we were glad that everything went smoothly!

P.S. Don't have much photos because all of us were busy enjoying the moment! Lol.

Anniversary at Champagne Room

Last month, Ryan and I celebrated our anniversary at none other than Manila Hotel's Champagne Room. I loved the theme and the ambiance: very Victorian-ish. I felt every bit the princess while being served by the restaurant staff. The portions were really big which was why we spent the whole evening trying to finish our food. But don't get me wrong, the food was amazing! Beyond amazing, even. They served the best Chilean Sea Bass (Bar de Mer Chilien) in the world! And they even gave us complimentary chocolates for dessert! Other dishes we ordered were French Onion Soup, steak, and pasta (I can't remember which one lol, but it has salmon in it so that narrows it down). I really enjoyed everything about this place, from the grand and lavish furniture to the excellently prepared food! Two thumbs up for this place! We had such a great time and it was the perfect place to celebrate our anniversary! :)

MEGA Gone Digital

A blog post to start the week! Two weeks ago, Phya invited me to Mega Magazine's 21st anniversary party at Opus. This digital-themed bash was filled with lights, lasers, holograms, and LED displays for a futuristic feel. There was even a digital photo wall where our pictures were taken just before we went though the LED carpet leading to the place. There were so many people inside that we could hardly move, so we went outside for a while to get some air. We went back just in time for the program. Guess what, Phya won a Nikon camera for being best dressed! Click the link below to see her outfit. :)
